Hi,

An unfortunate "up+up+enter" just had my console load my current cart instead of running the changes I made, thus overwriting them.

Could you implement a yes/no question when code has been changed and the load or reset command is issued? Or alternatively, keep a save of the changed code before the overwrite?

Thanks !

there is a "backup" folder one folder up from your cartridge directory! It keeps a back up of your previously safe cartridge, so you don't have to worry about killing your previous save (it's only one deep though)

If you're on windows, you can go to "%AppData%/pico-8/backup"

Otherwise, just type "folder" from the pico-8 direct console, and then move up a folder.

Yes indeed I found that, but it does not keep a backup of the last unsaved changes, which is what I lost.

Or am I missing something?

No, it doesn't keep track of unsaved changes, but there is an undo (not super deep though)
