Hi everyone,

From some time I wanted to put this project together:
PICO-8 running on Pocket PiGRRL.

Check it out and let me know what do you think in comments below.

All the best,
petri

Excellent! I figured this was a likely short path to the homemade handheld everyone likes to talk about. Was there anything particularly difficult about getting it to run on this hardware config, or does it run like any other RaspPi app?

I have all the parts but no 3D printer for the case. Need to figure that part out...

Hey dddaaannn,

Yes it works like any other program in linux.
You just need to copy paste it somewhere, make it executable with chmod, go to the folder that contains it and write ./pico8 or sudo ./pico8

I'm not an expert on linux so if someone knows better please reply below.

Also do anybody know how can I boot directly to pico8 at system start?

All the best,
petri

Does the version of Linux you're using have an /etc/rc.local? I haven't set this up myself yet but it's worth a try.

I found some people trying to do the same thing with retropi and not having luck with /etc/rc.local. (I can't say why without having one in front of me. I'll try it in a couple of weeks.) There might be some useful advice buried in here:

retropi installation instructions might also have hints, though it sounds like the most common instructions just say to install a pre-configured image:

Let us know how it goes!

Thank's dddaaannn. I will check it out.

On my SD card I have image prepared by Ruiz brothers from Adafruit. It's preconfigured to work with their LCD hat for RaspberryPi and it boots to emulation station.

To run PICO-8 I have to exit emulationstation and use arrows to find in command history the one that runs PICO-8.
