I've decided to use chroma.js (https://gka.github.io/chroma.js/) to obtain palette colors that are closer to what the human eye perceives. This greatly improves the accuracy of the original colors. Now my photo of supper looks delicious...

I have purchased a license and extracted the raspberry pi version of the files onto storage/roms/pico-8.
Going back to my handheld and starting pico-8 results in a blackscreen for 2 seconds, then goes back to pico-8 selection screen. Please help.
I have updated JelOS to latest version if that helps.

NOVA ESCAPE
You are Bridge - a member of an astronomicaL rEsearch team who ended up separated From her group during a boTched hyperDrive jmp. Things gOt Weird at speeds faster thaN light, and foR some reason, you're now on the shIp completely alone.
After landing and recharGing your power banks, you've discovered the star you're orbiting is on the verge of collapsing and going supernova! In a hurry, you took off in an attempt to escape tHe blasT radius.
With a malfunctioning hyperdrive, you discover that you cAn slowly chArge it up by destroyiNg anD collecting minerals from nearBy asteroids, and hopefully escape the blast!
This is a project for the The Alphabet Superset - a 32 week long project for creatives of all skills and abilities. Each week, we will ourselves to create something and follow a theme, based on each letter of the alphabet in order. After 6 months (and a few breaks in between), you have a completed collection of work!

Hello,
I own a Miiyo mini plus, rg nano and an powkiddy rg30.
Is it possibly to use my official pico8 license on that devices?
Or is that not possible because that devices are not windows/linux based?

Description
This is a small platformer prototype that I created in order to better understand how maps in pico8 work. It is meant to just be a small side project but I think it still turned out well.
credits
Created by following the Nerdy Teachers platforming tutorial.

Tiny slideshow of some hard-to-encode full-color images. Composite colors work well, but they still generate very large data.

Nothing special, just learning the language and how to do some basic things :)
Note: This is being done by following the playlist by LazyDevs on YT ( URL LazyDev - Pico-8 Tutorial - Shmup ) although I coded some things a little different as I found out about new stuff (like how Tables worked, and tables in tables etc...)
Updated: bullets ;)
Updated: refactoring...

Genby's Discolored Dungeon Escape
Welcome to the Dungeon
This game was created for a game jam at Rider University, and was later updated. I did the code and created a lot of the sprites for this version of the game. In the game you play as a bunny trying to escape a dungeon of black and white.
Controls
Use the arrow keys to move around and attack enemies with Z. Enemies may shoot projectiles and will damage you if you run into them, so watch out! Losing all your hearts will cause you to lose the game.
Walk into a key to pick it up. If you have a key, holding down X and walking into a door will unlock it.
At the start of the game, you will only be able to walk through the dark path. However walking through the magic door will change your color so you can instead walk through the light path. Beat both paths and you will be able to escape!

I use Splore to discover games and my favorites list became very long and unorganized. The work around I found was a short bash/unix command that I saved to a script. It should also work in Windows using WSL or another Linux based terminal. It does not work in PowerShell nor the Windows CMD prompt.
Open your Pico-8 folder that contains the "favourites.txt" file. Normally you can type "folder" in the Pico-8 command prompt and go up a few levels to find it. Then open a terminal there and run:
sort -k 6 -t '|' -o favourites.txt favourites.txt |
If anyone knows of a built-in way to sort favorites let me know. My way feels a bit hacky.

So far so good. Better virtual colors, fetching transparency info (alpha) from original images, clipping, and locating.
Performance is still poor (drawing two 128x500px images at once cause some frame drops, and (sometimes) outOfMemory).

on pico-8 EDU, its really hard to not paste the GFX you copied from another website, (with credit) for some reason, even going to copy something unreadable and then copying whatever you want does not work, it just copies it again
(sorry the gif looks bad, pico-8's screen recorder does not record copying and pasting)
