I noticed pico 8 is included in the new launcher update.  
I own it. How do I get it to work? It just freezes right now. I tried replaced the “pico-8” folder with the one I have

I just figured it out.

Copy your raspi pico-8 zip into ~/games/PICO-8 and it’ll install on its own 🙂

It still won’t open but I’ll be persistent lol  
EDIT: I just had to fix directories in the .sh file.

first

```auto
mkdir ~/games/PICO-8

```

place the pico-8\_0.1.11g\_raspi.zip into ~/games/PICO-8 through Samba or SCP,whatever

launcher check the md5sum of pico-8\_0.1.11g\_raspi.zip  
then unzip the pico-8\_0.1.11g\_raspi.zip

into ~/games/PICO-8/pico-8

if the md5sum check failed, you can still proceed the whole process

finnally

```auto
guu@guu-desktop:~/github/cuu/launcher$ cat Menu/GameShell/50_PICO-8/PICO-8.sh 
#!/bin/bash

#SDL_VIDEODRIVER=x11 DISPLAY=:0 ./pico-8/pico8_dyn -splore -draw_rect 32,0,256,240
cd /home/cpi/games/PICO-8/pico-8
SDL_VIDEODRIVER=x11 DISPLAY=:0 ./pico8_dyn -splore -draw_rect 32,0,256,240

```

**PICO-8.sh** will invoke the **pico8\_dyn** from `~/games/PICO-8/pico-8`

the launcher will put a **`.done`** inside the `~/launcherMenu/GameShell/50_PICO-8/` if everything is done

so if you want to do it manually, or your pico-8 is not the same name/version as mine ,like above

just  
unzip the pico-8.zip into ~/games/PICO-8

and

```auto
touch ~/launcherMenu/GameShell/50_PICO-8/.done

```

then it will be launched

remove `~/launcherMenu/GameShell/50_PICO-8/.done` will re-do the all thing
