Whenever I try to run pico-8 on my pc, it takes forever to open, then stops responding. All I've done is change my cartridge folder.

Whenever I restart, this problem goes away for a short time

wait how in the heck did you change the cartridge folder

its a config option

@Nailuj29 please post relevant config options. Also, is the new cartridge folder on a standard default windows partition or somewhere else?

It's on a different drive, which I nuked to dual boot linux. It works fine there. I'll still post my config tho, I just need to boot into windows to access it.
