I'd like to be able to run pico8 direct from console on the CHIP or Raspberry Pi without having to be in the graphical environment. Does pico8 support writing directly to framebuffer? If so, what do I need to do to make it work?
This is what I get when I run pico8 from console:
SDL Error: No available video device ** FATAL ERROR: Unable to initialize SDL |
also looking for a solution.
on a TFT display the screen goes black only.
My scenario is a little different but this was the only hit on this error.
Just launching the game with ~/pico-8/pico8, I also had the
** FATAL ERROR: Unable to initialize SDL
on the Pi 3 with whatever the current Pixel/Stretch Raspbian is.
Going into raspi-config and disabling the OpenGL (Full KMS ) driver and using Legacy (non-GL) works for me.
Using OpenGL(Fake KMS) gives a different error.
- failed to add service - already in use?
Hey guys (and/or gals), I wrote this up recently, link below. Hope this helps!
With pico8 0.2.1 on a Raspberry Pi 4, you just need to run the pico8_dyn executable (instead of pico8) and it works.
