I just purchased and downloaded PICO-8 for my raspberry pi, and when I try to boot it it will not. When I double click on the file, I am asked to execute it, which I do. After this, it open for a half second before closing immediately.
Is there anything else I need to do in order to open it correctly?
When I opened it from the terminal, I received a message saying "Couldn't get a file descriptor referring to the console"
Hmmmm, definitely haven't run into that. Just in case it helps, all I do to get it running is this (I unzipped PICO-8 in my home folder):
~> cd pico-8 ~/pico-8> ./pico8 -windowed 1 |
And it opens in windowed mode (on RPi and my Manjaro laptop both, I find that it starts full screen by default without that flag, but you can also change the flag value in ~/.lexaloffle/pico-8/config.txt to run windowed by default).
EDIT: I should also mention that I am pretty much using Raspberry Pi OS exactly as it came on the card with my Pi plus whatever updates were available after installation.
