@zep: I Came across this. While it is known you can change the keyboard repeat speed of BTNP() making use of poking 0x5F5C and 0x5F5D it unfortunately carries over to SPLORE as you can see here:

Further, SPLORE does not seem to give you the same menus for each Favorited game. As you can see here comparing BIBI AND BEANS, RED-SHIRT-ALERT, and LOCKEY-ZANA'S TALE, where RED-SHIRT-ALERT is missing menu items when you press "P" and the other two carts are not:

I would also like to suggest that when you do press "P" for additional menus and information, that is shows the last date this particular cartridge was updated.

locally saved carts and bbs carts have different options.
local carts do not know their relationship to bbs thread and author so splore can’t offer these options.

@merwok. I'm not understanding ? I thought all games in Favorites were offline ? There shouldn't be any menu differences between games if they are all listed in Favorites ?

no, splore lets us browse local games and bbs games, and we can favourite both kinds. the icons to the left of names are different!

Oh they are different, @merwok. To quote from Cat-In-The-Hat, "How did you get so smart ?" :)

OK - so I'm still a little confused. How do I "favorite" a local game and why is it appearing at all ? Is there a "favorites" HD folder ?

Wouldn't it be better to somehow merge these so they are all on the same page and definition ?

And to my knowledge there is no way to use SPLORE to view a HD folder that has Pico-8 carts ?
