pmem command with HTML exports?

[Gate88]

Is the pmem command supposed to save state in a browser, or does it only work when doing executable exports or running the cart? I can't seem to get pmem to save between sessions on itch.io, nor when accessing the html export locally.

(This is with a recent dev version -- looks like 0.80.1276-dev).

pmem supposed to save state in a browser, do you see any errors in the browser console?
Thanks

I'm seeing this in both Firefox and Chrome. I could make a minimal cart and you could check if you're having the issue too.

Here's a working example of the issue -- the value should increment every time you view the page, but it doesn't.

https://gate.itch.io/tic80-workspace
pass: pmem-test

code:

-- script: lua
-- saveid: tic80_pmem_browser_test

pmem(0,pmem(0)+1)

function TIC()
 cls(0)
 print("You've viewed this cart "..pmem(0).." times",40,60,12)
end

@nesbox - lmk if you can't reproduce. Seemingly happens w/ any browser & any cart I try in this version.

I think I know the reason, all the file I/O operations are asynchronous in the browser, we have to wait for the end of file writing somehow...

Thank you for the report.
