Hi, new to PICO-8. I installed it on my Mac and it runs fine. But I downloaded some carts from Lexaloffle and when I copy the pathname to one and type "load PATHNAME" I receive the "Could not load" message. It doesn't matter which folder the cart is in and I've tried it with two carts that my friend got working. I checked that PICO-8 has read/write permissions. What could be going wrong?

Thanks

Is the PATHNAME you're using correct? Run PICO-8 and type FOLDER then hit Enter. You should get a Finder window that opens to whatever PICO-8's root path is. You'll want your downloaded carts to live somewhere in this folder or a subfolder of this folder.

You can change the default folder to a different location by editing the file ~/.lexaloffle/pico-8/config.txt and changing the root_path config option to point to a different folder.
