Maybe someone has done something along those lines already ?</p> <p>What I would like to do is to control the PICO-8 console itself, irrespective of the cartridge running, through an external program.<br /> Mainly, I would want to reset the console and/or change the cartridge via the external program, without having a specific cartridge loaded, inputs on the PICO-8 itself or closing and restarting the PICO-8. (I believe that resetting only could work, by loading a specific path for the cartridge and changing the file directly ?)</p> <p>I don't really have a preference on the way this control could be done, just being able to would be enough.<br /> Maybe the PICO-8 could be integrated in the program itself, as in Celeste, but I haven't found anything related to that while searching the web.</p> <p>It's a bit of a specific use case (I'm trying to use a physical cartridge to use on the PICO-8), but I would appreciate any help or pointers !</p> <p>Thanks in advance</p> https://www.lexaloffle.com/bbs/?tid=51311 https://www.lexaloffle.com/bbs/?tid=51311 Sun, 22 Jan 2023 23:34:55 UTC
