Hi, I am working on making an arcade with pico-8, and the platform I used is listed below

  • pico8: pico-8_0.2.2c_raspi.zip
  • raspberry pi 4B 8GB RAM
  • Picade HAT from Pimoroni
  • OS: RetroPie 4.7.1 (RPI4/400), Linux 5.4.72-v7l+ armv7l GNU/Linux

My current status is I can boot up other simulators in RetroPie (I was able to play Pokemon Red from Gameboy with sound and correct key mapping), so I feel that the arcade works as it's supposed to be.

However when I tried to run pico8
pi@retropie:~ $ ~/pico-8/pico8 -splore

It gives me error:
SDL Error: Could not initialize EGL
** FATAL ERROR: Unable to create window
Segmentation fault

I was assuming due to the fact that I'm not a Linux user so I probably didn't do the right thing to "install pico8 in linux" (like adding it into PATH? No idea...) Could anyone share some thoughts? Thank you!

What kind of screen are you using?

Are you running inside a graphical desktop environment or from virtual console?

Can you install SDL libraries and try with pico8_dyn?

OMG YOU ARE MY HERO/HEROINE!!!!! I spent literally two entire weekends looking into this (I'm a totally newbie and I didn't even know how to edit text file in linux)

I just tried pico8_dyn instead of pico8 and the iconic sound just pop up beautifully. Thank you again for your reply!!

Yay!
