Available Emulators
Default Emulator
By default muOS uses the fake-08 libretro core.
This is only the default because it doesn’t require you to purchase the native PICO-8 application.
We strongly suggest you purchase the native application to support this wonderful system!
PICO-8 Emulator Files
Native PICO-8 is now supported!
Starting with muOS Banana, the pico8 files can go in your MUOS/bios/pico8 on either SD1 or SD2 depending on where you’ve chosen to put those.
Older version of muOS require the files here: /MUOS/emulator/pico8 The files required to run PICO-8 natively are stored on SD1 in the /MUOS/emulator/pico8 folder.
In order to use native PICO-8 you’ll need to place your own purchased binaries in there.
You will need a copy of the following files from the Raspberry Pi version:
- pico8_64
- pico8.dat
Once you add your purchased files from Lexaloffle you’ll need to set muOS to use the PICO-8 External emulator.
- Browse to where your PICO-8 games are in muOS content explorer.
- Press select on any of the items and change core.
- Select
PICO-8 (External)and pressXto set this core for the whole directory!

Can I use Splore?
You sure can!
You can either create a blank file named Splore.p8 [case sensitive] in your PICO-8 ROMs folder, or it will be automatically created for you when you first assign the PICO-8 (External) core.
Simply launch that Splore file and you’re in!
