Just confirming, you’re putting the file named pico-8\_0.1.12c2\_raspi.zip in the ~/games/PICO-8 directory? Mine is a 6.1MB file. I bought it in a humble bundle once upon a time. Is yours a legit one? Also try and run the PICO-8 app without anything in the games directory. I find that the first time, it will just give a black screen, then return to the launcher; possibly initialising itself. Afterwards, run it again. It should have a screen telling you to download the pick 8 files. Transfer the files after this, then run it again. Here’s a screen cap of where I have it placed, and the expected file output. ![image](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex029/uploads/clockworkpi/original/2X/5/57439e5cc58f45025e7e68b6387cba7ae0e2de8c.jpeg) ![image](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex029/uploads/clockworkpi/original/2X/1/10ece63854972a8cdc443d7e79f0abb111203c05.jpeg) --- _[View the full topic](https://forum.clockworkpi.com/t/pico-8-crashes-when-started-in-stable-1-25-tried-everything-ive-seen-on-here/5148)._
