pico8 4 recalbox

thank you acris for help :)

install procedure :

  • copy pico8 directory into /recalbox/share/emulateurs (you have to create this folder if it doesn't exist)
  • download your legal zip pico8 file for Raspberry Pi and put its content into /recalbox/share/emulateurs/pico8
  • into /recalbox/share/emulateurs give 777 to the following files : pico8, pico8.sh, pico8.dat, pico8_dyn, gamepad.map.
  • ssh into recalbox and : mount -o remount,rw /
  • integration with EmulationStation : modify the es_systems.cfg file in /recalbox/share_init/system/.emulationstation (needs to change partition / to read and write) and add the following system :
     <system>
     	<fullname>Pico 8</fullname>
     	<name>pico8</name>
     	<path>/recalbox/share/roms/pico8/</path>
     	<extension>.p8 .png</extension>
     	<command>/recalbox/share/emulateurs/pico8/pico8.sh %ROM%</command>
     	<platform>pico8</platform>
     	<theme>pico8</theme>
     	<emulators>
     	<emulator name="pico8"></emulator>
     	</emulators>
     </system>
  • create the roms folder /recalbox/share/roms/pico8/ and an empty file Splore.p8 inside it (to start directly in Splore mode)
  • reboot, enjoy, quit games with ctrl+q on keyboard
