GammaOS is based on Lineage which in turn is based on Android - there's no Android version available for PICO-8, so I doubt you'd be able to use it under GammaOS. I also don't know of any emulators for Android, but maybe someone else does.
GammaOS does run Pico-8 in RetroArch. Simply download the Retro8 core and make sure media / image viewing is turned off: Settings - File browser - Use Built-in Media Player (off) / Use Built-in Image Viewer (off). It will also work in the Daijishō frontend if you set the default player to 113 - pico8 - RetroArch 64 - retro8.
note that retro-8 is an emulator, there are a handful of these with various levels of compatibility with real pico-8, but none fully up to date.
The problem on my RG405 with GammaOS was that retroarch only displayed the png and not started the pico-8 game. I have searched for hours to disable the image preview and now it works! You find it here:
Apps->RetroArch()->Load Content->scrolling down to the end->File Browser->disable: „Use Built-In Image Viewer“
After disabling everything works fine and I enjoy the amazing pics-8 games on my RG405 console 👍😄
How did you download the cartridges? Did you just download the .p8.png into a folder and load the directory from the Daijisho front end or is there more nuance to it?
Sorry to bring this old topic to life… someone discovered how to properly game Pico-8 on Android gaming devices. It’s a workaround but it works very well. Just watch this video please: https://youtu.be/fWUg_FkahcE
that solution is using winlator to run the window version of pico8 on android
