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

muOS by default uses the Fake-08 libretro core for PICO-8 as it doesn’t require users to purchase PICO-8. 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)

Legacy Instructions For muOS v10 you need the 32bit binary.

  • pico8_dyn
  • pico8.dat

Where can I get those binaries?

You can purchase PICO-8 from lexaloffle.

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!
