Comes to show how little I use the launcher these days. Shame on me.
I really hope that the GS keypad can be eventually developed into a qwerty Keyboard to be used with PICO-8 (since it is connected as a USB HID and the arduino code is available). My dear PocketCHIP is not doing so great these days.
Ah thats even easier! With the arduino is very easy and its not necesarily needed to create a new board, but for optimizing space it could be better a new one.
Hmm, actually, thatās what I tried first, having commented the original line out. Pico8 just exited before loading (black screen, then back to the launcher). Let me try againā¦
Ah yes, it was the X1? typo. Thanks so much, works perfectly!
Been enjoying Pico-8 a lot. Alone itās reason enough to get a Gameshell (are there other simple ways, other than a browser, to play them games?).
Anyway, Iāve found some itch.io titles Iād like to be able to play on my GS, but since the Search function doesnāt work (what with it needing a keyboard and everything), how would I go about doing it?
Any Pico-8 cartridge (game file) posted to the BBS (forum) can be downloaded as a .p8.png file, which you can copy to your GS (like a ROM for an emulator). Find the forum thread with the cart in it, click āCartā to view the .p8.png file (itās an image that looks like a game cartridge), then download it. Transfer it to the GS and put it in the ~/.lexaloffle/pico-8/carts/ directory. You should be able to access them from Splore.
Pico-8 games published to itch.io are not as easily extracted unless the author also makes the .p8.png file available as a download.
@CocoaGeek Thanks! Fixed the typo in the post. (Itās correct in the wiki.)
@Gryzor Yeah, I get the impression that zep intended to make Splore an optionally-authenticated service that would sync with BBS stuff like faves, but it hasnāt been implemented yet.
Hi all,
Thanks for the tutorial. I have followed the guide to the letter and got the smaller screen when first running the application. I killed it then through ssh, and proceeded to finish the installation. The issue I have is once I run PICO8 I get always a hard lock up in the menus. I then have to hardreset the gameshell or kill PICO8 through ssh. Any suggestions why is this and how to solve? Also If I am quick enough I can run any game and the game works without issues. The freeze is related to the menus. Halp!
