Picotron isn't a lonely place anymore!
Thanks to PicoChat you can now talk with other devs while working on your stuff!

Are you testing something inside the tooltray and need to clean it up?
Just go to settings and move PicoPhone to the desktop!
BBS Market / AppStore (wip)
Browse BBS tools and install them directly from your PicoPhone!
It's not perfect yet but I couldn't make you wait!

Convert a MIDI file into a Picotron track ready to use in your project!
Thanks to the magic of Miditron!
And Calkawaii, a funny calculator that thinks before talking! ;)

Check the IDs you forgot without leaving Picotron!
Customization and Low CPU usage mode!
This is what really makes PicoPhone awesome!
The fact you can have it in 3 different colors? Yeah that too but...
The low CPU usage mode!
You can turn off the phone to drastically lower CPU usage, see for yourself ;)
Then tap screen to get back where you left!
Coming soon

FAQ
Changelog
I'm open to collaborations so feel free to give feedback, test it or implement new features!
We'll get in touch here or on the discord!
If you wan to add a calculator to it, feel free to use the code from mine https://www.lexaloffle.com/bbs/?tid=141416
It would be neat to have a calculator in this multitool.
@profpatonildo haha! i love that it thinks before giving you the result
I'm implementing this gem in the next update, thank you!
Update:
A bit late cause I lost all my progress yesterday :(
But here it is, with a big new feature, a new mascotte and 2 new tools!
Installer coming soon!
Still open to collabs! Let's do it before there's no more space in PICOPHONE!
See ya around the bbs <3
For @profpatonildo:
PicoPhone 0.3 is finally out! This is the biggest update yet!
A lot of new features and completely revisioned code.
Thanks to @Eiyeron for making me understand how the Picotron GUI works!
Read the changelog:
0.3.69b Hotfix
Fixed a bug that wouldn't install PicoPhone if you've never created a startup.lua
file!
(You don't need to update if you didn't experience any bug)
@profpatonildo mmh ok that's not a bad workaround, now it has a bit more sense. Thanks
Just a heads up for anyone using my Downloader 2.0 cart: https://www.lexaloffle.com/bbs/?pid=145411#p
If you download picophone with it and run the installer, it will instead try to install Downloader 2.0 into the tooltray instead and potentially cause some really nasty bugs
👆 Issue fixed!
Also fixed a little Taco related bug!
PicoPhone 0.4 is OUT!
New features and... PICOCHAT!
Latest release: v0.4.34
- Fixed PicoChat once and for all!
- Main-menu CPU usage is 18% lower!
- Added the first version of a control panel
- There was no phone graphics in splash screen! Added it!
By the way...
PicoPhone is now fully open-source!

edit: Web player doesn't work now! Well neither was it working before since you had to install it in the tooltray and reboot :P But I'll work on this so we'll have a playable demo in the bbs!
