Hi there. I’ve been following some comments on other topics about how to manually upload PICO-8 carts to the GameShell, but the suggested directory to upload the carts to (`~/.lexaloffle/pico-8/carts`) does not exist in my device. If this directory doesn’t exist in my device, where do I upload my carts to? To add, in case it is necessary for helping me, my device’s version is 1.24. Also, I installed PICO-8 by simply placing the zip file into the `home/cpi/games/PICO-8` directory and letting the file unzip itself. Thanks! ---

It does appear that the directory does exist at `/home/cpi/.lexaloffle/pico-8/carts` once PICO-8 has been installed and run. Do an `ls -a ~` to find the `.lexaloffle` directory. You can change the carts folder default by editing `/home/cpi/.lexaloffle/pico-8/config.txt` to change `root_path /home/cpi/.lexaloffle/pico-8/carts/` to something more convenient like `root_path /home/cpi/games/PICO-8/carts/`. ---

Found it! I had been using WinSCP to find the folder, and it turns out that a lot of my folders under `/home/cpi/` were hidden for some reason. So, thanks for answering my stupid question lol! ---

Thats a UNIX feature, all file and folder starting with a dot are hidden folder.
