My Arcade Cabinet Build/Challenge

Hi all!
I'm building a coin operated Wooden Cabinet for a Pico 8 game I made a while back
(It's a local Rock-band Fangame, to go in our local bar)
I've attached an older version of the game at the bottom of the post.

With the game done and the Wooden cabinet assembled, the part I'm currently struggling wth is the Raspberry Pi, and getting it to run my single Pico 8 game on boot.

The "USB arcade Encoder"/Controller I've created seems to work well enough, at least in Retro Pi
-- but I am very unfamiliar with Raspberry Pi.
Can anyone help me get this Pico 8 game to run On boot of the Pi/Arcade cabinet?? Many thanks!

(note the use of the "o" button as an "insert credit": I'm wiring a 'coin acceptor' into a 'Usb Arcade encoder' controller to work as the "O" button)

Hello all,

With the release of the alpha of Picotron, I've been thinking about how the growth and adoption of Picotron may possibly affect PICO-8 as well.

I'm curious to hear what any of you have to say — Do you think Picotron will make PICO-8 obsolete due to its more advanced tools, or do you think PICO-8 will maintain its appeal? Will much interest from the community flow towards Picotron leaving PICO-8 behind, or do they occupy distinct niches that can coexist?

As someone who has a few PICO-8 projects I have been working on that have yet to be completed/released, I'm wondering which fantasy platform might be more worthwhile in the long run to focus on, if a choice must be made. I wonder what PICO-8 will still have that would continue to attract those who might also be interested in Picotron.

When Picotron gets into full swing, will any of you keep sticking around with PICO-8 or will you mostly switch to the new platform?

Thoughts?

v0.4 - Final Day!

We're all done! This was a lot of fun to make and I'm super proud of how it came out.
I will say, I didn't get to balance it much so it's currently very hard, but I plan to do some bug fixes so make sure to post about them here. :)

v0.3 - Day 6

There is now a core game loop though it isn't very flashy at this point and needs more variety.

• Added lots of sprites for future enemies and attacks
• Map now moves!
• Wag attack fades out
• Added sfx for damage, enemies, and picking up bones

Started work on a game in which a hermit crab looks for a new home. Shelving it for now while I work on some other things but I liked the cute animation of the crab so I figured I would post it. Enjoy.

I think PICO-8 palette become boring a bit and I propose to change it to something that looks more like a toy, Sweetie16 palette is a good example I think. I made this and i don't mind. example how it would look:

first "game" on pico 8 hope you enjoy!
