[EDIT] Turns out I had the "cart" directory replaced with a broken softlink. Totally my own fault. The exceptions do not seem to be relevant.

Just unzipped & copied pico-8 0.1.11g to /Applications on macos 10.13.3.

When running, the console reports "WARNING: NO PERMANENT STORAGE" after the boot message.
DIR returns an empty root even after a MKDIR.
SAVE XYZ results in an "FAILED TO SAVE" error popup.

Same when running as sudo from the command line or after disabling the security assessment policy subsystem (with spctl --master-disable).

Console.app shows error message "AEGetDescData of non-desc type 'reco' not a good idea" and several exception that are also shown when running pico8 from terminal:

/BuildRoot/Library/Caches/com.apple.xbs/Sources/AppleFSCompression/AppleFSCompression-96.30.2/Common/ChunkCompression.cpp:50: Error: unsupported compressor 8

Any ideas?

Same after updating to 10.13.4. I now get the 32bit compatiblity warning. (https://support.apple.com/HT208436)

I'm not much of a Mac person (I own one but it gets used exclusively for Skype) but you could try typing 'folder' into pico-8 and checking the permissions for that directory to make sure you have write access.

If not, you can either fiddle with chmod or add a setting to the config.txt to change the default cart location - check the manual for the details.

Thank you, the error was due to my cart location not being a proper folder, but instead a dead [EDIT] softlink to some other directory (which I apparently made when experimenting with pico-8 the last time)
