Hi, when I press the F7 key (with the Pocket CHIP keyboard) to do a cartridge label it looks like it doesn't do anything. I also tried all the F* keys but nothing works, when I save the cartridge to the .p8.png format the center of the cartridge is just a color, not the picture.

Is this a bug ? Is it mapped on another key ?
Or maybe I'm just stupid and I do it wrong, that's possible ^^'



Roucasse, do you have a Pocket CHIP ? I thought they were on pre-order ?


They are on pre-order but they've started shipping them. They're getting close to June pre-orders now.


Oh, okay, Megabound. Darnit I prolly won't get mine till Christmas ! :/

And yes, Roucasse, there needs to be a forum for those of you who DO have the marvelous little POCKET CHIP NOW so you can talk and discuss about solving technical problems on it.


I pre-order mine in May and I got it a few weeks ago. It depends when you pre-order it.

And I don't think the problem is the Pocket CHIP, I tested all the F* keys and they all worked except on PICO-8. That's why I ask here and not on the NTC forum.


Roucasse, could you please post the link for the NTC forum. I would be curious to read the feedback from users that have and have used the device.


same place as that link he posted
It's discourse, so FYI it's a little heavy on the javascript if you're on an older/weaker device.


Mine's supposed to ship this upcoming month sometime.


On the Pocket CHIP to press F7 (or any F keys) you need to press FN + 7 (or the number of the F key).

I've used SSH + Xming on my laptop to access the Pocket CHIP, I presses F7 with my laptop keyboard, and it worked, it saved a game label.

I think the problem is that PICO-8 doesn't reconise FN + 7 as F7, so you can't use the F* keys, exept if you use an external keyboard.


Yah, F7 (or other F* keys) doesn't work for me either Roucasse, but it does work if I connect a USB keyboard.


That sucks


PocketCHIP function keys still not working on 0.2.3
Ctrl+0 (F10) does bring up the dev keyboard.
