https://www.lexaloffle.com/bbs/?uid=16197 <p>I'm curious about picking up a Chromebook, but I really want to be able to develop PICO-8 stuff on it ... so I did some testing with <a href="https://www.neverware.com/">CloudReady</a>, which is basically a vanilla version of Chromium OS, with developer mode enabled by default.</p> <p>Knowing that, I figured if it ran PICO-8, getting a Chromebook may be worth it.</p> <p>Firstly, the good news:</p> <img style="margin-bottom:16px" border=0 src="https://usercontent.irccloud-cdn.com/file/XPJxw5c1/Screen%20Shot%202016-10-20%20at%2011.42.16%20AM.png" alt="" /> <p>It works!</p> <p>I downloaded the 64-bit version, made my home folder executable:</p> <div> <div class=scrollable_with_touch style="width:100%; max-width:800px; overflow:auto; margin-bottom:12px"> <table style="width:100%" cellspacing=0 cellpadding=0> <tr><td background=/gfx/code_bg1.png width=16><div style="width:16px;display:block"></div></td> <td background=/gfx/code_bg0.png> <div style="font-family : courier; color: #000000; display:absolute; padding-left:10px; padding-top:4px; padding-bottom:4px; "> <pre> sudo mount -i -o remount,exec /home/user/CRAZY_LONG_HASH_REPRESENTING_USER/ </pre></div></td> <td background=/gfx/code_bg1.png width=16><div style="width:16px;display:block"></div></td> </tr></table></div></div> <p>Then ran the standard executable <em>pico8</em>, not <em>pico8_dyn</em>.</p> <p>The only issue is that the keyboard stops working for Chromium OS itself while PICO-8 is running and also after you close it with <em>Ctrl + Q</em>. Logging out and logging back in fixes that. Seems like we could be closer than we thought to having a Chromebook native verison!</p> https://www.lexaloffle.com/bbs/?tid=27933 https://www.lexaloffle.com/bbs/?tid=27933 Thu, 20 Oct 2016 15:17:33 UTC
