so i want to run pico 8 on my recalbox without an emulator, how would i do that? via ports?
I don't know recalbox well, but seems it only supports emulated pico-8. But you can install native Pico-8 in the raspberry pi, the only thing you need to do is to unzip the console to a folder and to launch it via Recalbox. There should be a way to execute an external command.
yeah, i want to try that, im just not sure where to put the file
Anywhere the Recalbox application can access. I have a similar setup in Steam Deck, the folder I use is ~/pico-8, and I added the executable ~/pico-8/pico8 to steam, so I'm able to launch it through game mode. When you boot your system you're also booting Recalbox. You first need to discover how (if possible) to add an "external command" to Recalbox. Some OS have already scripts in place that launch native pico-8 instead of fake-8 if they detect a native pico files in roms/pico-8. But I haven't found this information in Recalbox doc, so my guess is that they don't have such script. You need to figure out how to add a random script to be launched by Recalbox first, then you can create the folder anywhere you want and launch it with the script, but it might not be possible.
well ill just mess around with it, ive managed to do it with tic80 on retropie and batocera which are simmilar to recalbox.
I tried, but I couldn't figure it out because I'm stupid, so I decided to just use one f my spare sd cards and use retropie which is much easier.
