Are there ever going to be plans for a partnership with Lexaloffle to potentially have a gameshell edition free to download? Ala the pocket chip.  
[https://www.lexaloffle.com/bbs/?tid=34009](https://www.lexaloffle.com/bbs/?tid=34009)  
Even if it is somehow a time limited version, just for the purposes of game jams. There are enough precedent game jam events to show that this can be a great way to promote pico-8 as a platform, and would no doubt be mutually beneficial.  
A few of the game jam entries require Pico-8, so possibly there could be a bias if not all users have Pico-8 installed?  
That’s the next question. How many people have purchased Pico-8, either for the gameshell, or I’m the past?

</div>

I doubt Lexaloffle is going to do that again to be honest.

If what you want is to play the game, just ask the people to export their game as rPi binary

Open a game in PICO-8 and on the console command line run

```auto
EXPORT "FILENAME.BIN"

```

and it will generate executable for: Windows, Linux, Mac OS X, and the Raspberry Pi.

You will then have 3 files, a `data.pod`, an executable here named `filename` and the png file (here `filename.png`) of the game cart, and this can be distributed officially by the game designer.  
There is no need for a PICO-8 License or a “player” for the GS for these.

</div>

An alternative is to play it on the browser. Pico-8 games can be exported as html games. Though we should be able to play all submissions on GameShell since it is a GameShell jam.

Definitely would be in the interests of those who entered the game jam to consider this!  
The less work people have to do to play it, the more likely it will get votes!  
As it stands now, using the garage system to play Pico-8 games requires you to have it installed.  
Thanks for getting back. 🙂

</div>

Oops! Good point; I didn’t even think of that.

Just uploaded binaries of my game – anyone know how we get them added to the Garage?

btw, I do recommend pico-8 to everyone. I got it free because I bought the Humble Voxatron Bundle like a million years ago – speaking of which, you should probably look into that if you buy a lot of Humble Bundles… there’s a chance you already have a license and just haven’t claimed it yet lol. If you own Voxatron from that, then afaik you should also have a pico-8 license.

Anyway, since then I’ve purchased multiple licenses for friends and students. And gotten hundreds of hours of use from it. So I definitely think it’s worth it to get a copy.

@Veronica @yong hey GameShell folks – If you reach out to zep @ lexaloffle, I actually think he would be amenable to working out some licensing deal. He’s a pretty cool guy. And in the pico-8 community it’s a common opinion that the GameShell is one of the most ideal playing experiences for pico-8 games.

great, good to know  
I’ve tested your way  
pico8 exported the raspi binary which I believe is the only way to run on GS

but GS is missing the `libbcm_host.so`, even I downloaded the libbcm\_host.so, the exported binary still reporting that `libbcm_host.so` is missing…

don’t know how to fix that

</div>

If you ever find a way to fix the libbcm\_host issue, please share! This is a problem the plagues some other Raspberry Pi binaries and as far as I know, no one has solved it. It means the custom builds of Gamemaker games that Yoyo released for the Pi don’t run on Gameshell (or other non Pi devices with similar hardware), as well as Minecraft, etc.

There is (or was) a dummy version of that lib somewhere. I even made one at some point, but probably lost it.

If I find it I will share

Here is a dummy libbcm\_host that was made for Minecraft Pi:

Not sure if it will export all the needed function for Pico-8, but that’s a start at least.

Could you post a binary? I had trouble building it since it couldn’t find GLES/gl.h. Did you have to change anything to get it to compile? Maybe I’m missing a needed package but I wasn’t sure which one.

I tried just removing that header include line entirely and it built, but then when I copied it to /usr/local/lib a Pi game I was testing acted like it couldn’t find the file, so I’m not sure what’s going on. ☹

sure  
first change `GLES/gl.h` to `GL/gl.h`

then rename the **libbcm\_host.so.1.0** to **libbcm\_host.so**

then copy the **libbcm\_host.so** to /usr/local/lib

If there anything else I need to do besides copying the file to /usr/local/lib?  
`-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 13884 Jan 16 23:58 /usr/local/lib/libbcm_host.so`

I tried to run a Raspberry Pi binary that gave the error about that library, but it still claims it can’t find it! It even gives this error when I copy the file into the same directory as the executable. I’m not sure what’s going on…

./TheyNeedToBeFed: error while loading shared libraries: libbcm\_host.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

you are on os v0.4 or v0.5 right?

here is the whole command I try to run an exported pico8 games on GameShell

```auto
cpi@clockworkpi:~/Scratch$ ls
data.pod libbcm_host.so scratch

```

```auto
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=. DISPLAY=:0 ./scratch -splore -draw_rect 32,0,256,240

```

I put the libbcm\_host.so and the exported binary (scratch) together in the same folder

but I also tested that if I put libbcm\_host.so into /usr/local/lib, it works too

and I use pico8 osx to export games

here is the link to the testing game above

[https://github.com/cuu/warehouse/raw/master/GameJam%2019q4/Scratch/file/Scratch.tar.gz](https://github.com/cuu/warehouse/raw/master/GameJam%2019q4/Scratch/file/Scratch.tar.gz)

if you download the tar.gz and try to run it manually  
just add DISPLAY=:0 before Scratch.sh

```auto
cpi@clockworkpi:~/Scratch$ DISPLAY=:0 ./Scratch.sh

```

Your example works for me, and scratch runs whether the lib file is there or moved to /usr/local/lib.

However, it still doesn’t work for the Raspberry Pi games I’ve been trying:  
[https://www.yoyogames.com/download/pi/tntbf](https://www.yoyogames.com/download/pi/tntbf)  
[https://www.yoyogames.com/download/pi/crate](https://www.yoyogames.com/download/pi/crate)  
[https://www.yoyogames.com/download/pi/castilla](https://www.yoyogames.com/download/pi/castilla)

I haven’t gotten the first game running under the Gameshell at all. The other two mostly work using box86 (and using x86 Linux versions of the game), but I was hoping these Pi builds might be faster and more stable.

for these particular ones it miss SDL binding, using this libbcm fork [GitHub - XECDesign/mcrpi-wrapper: A wrapper around Minecraft Raspberry Pi to get it working on Novena](https://github.com/XECDesign/mcrpi-wrapper) add the missing bind,  
on second point they need particular libcurl

finally it still fail (with today compiled mesa)
