I often want to modify the core utilities located in the /system directory, but they always get reset when the system is rebooted or shut down. This includes default apps, tooltray, utilities, and other system files that I wish I could edit and save permanently. However, I keep getting the error "Can't save changes to disk," which is quite frustrating.
Am I the only one who would appreciate a way to make these changes permanent? Is there a way to modify these files and save the changes to disk, or is it even possible? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Picotron Launcher v3.0
Inspired by EZEN's NewCarts Viewer.
As far as I’m aware, this is the first launcher ever created for Picotron! While other luncher displays new carts uploaded to the online repository, or a fix selection of carts, this launcher focuses on local content. It scans the /appdata/bbs/ directory on your Picotron machine, lists all .p64 files, and lets you launch them instantly with a click—making it easy to access and run your locally stored projects. I like to keep it on my desktop for quick cart access. and I put all new cart I aquire from the bbs into that /appdata/bbs/ directory making it very convenient. if you have any suggestions let me know.

Here's a basic raycaster I hacked together. It uses the map editor and renders sprites as walls. It's nothing serious but I've been having fun with picotron during my holiday break.

One of my biggest takeaways from this project is the concrete understanding of the dangers of Feature Creep, as well as the importance of having realistic project expectations and proper planning. In software development, it’s inevitable to encounter bugs and features that need to be adjusted based on real-world scenarios. These tasks take up a significant amount of time, which is often unpredictable. Therefore, it is essential to allocate sufficient time for debugging and adjustments, instead of continuously trying to integrate new features into the program.
Moreover, the dangers of Feature Creep were vividly demonstrated in this project. In my past programming experiences, I rarely paid attention to the memory usage of the program. As a result, I often wrote code with higher readability and decoupled various modules to make them easier to modify and debug. However, this approach inevitably led to code bloat, which I didn’t consider a problem until now. Given the limited code capacity of the Pico-8 engine, I encountered memory issues during the final stages of the project and had to spend extra time trimming down my code. Fortunately, I realized the problem of Feature Creep midway through development and decided to cut half of the planned levels and monsters. Otherwise, the memory constraints would have caused even more headaches.

Gordy and the Monster Moon is a bite-sized, Halloween-themed Zelda-like about a pumpkin astronaut going on spooky adventures.
- Explore the strange and varied biomes of the Monster Moon!
- Find upgrades and unlock shortcuts to help you explore even better!
- Defend yourself from monsters with a cobweb you found on the ground.
- Ask dad for help if you get stuck!
- What is in Lander B?
When I put this game on Steam in 2023 I wanted to make it available to the Pico-8 community for free, but I didn't want everybody to be able to play it for free because then who would buy it? The compromise I came to was to make the cartridge available for download, but not upload it to the BBS.

Petal Quest is a tiny adventure in a forest of secrets.
This is a game of discovery with light puzzles. Loosely inspired by Tunic, Fez. I love these strange little games and the world needs more of them.
Thank you for playing!

Hello all, is there a way to quickly sort carts from oldest to newest? Basically, to get to the highest page number without having to click 100s of times? Thanks for any help!

I may be getting too greedy. This portal rendering engine works fine for making "normal" rooms, but it struggles with things like stairs.
No where near what freds72 was pulling off with Poom and bsp with potentially visible sets.

The Quick 'N' Dirty Galaxy Generator builds off of my my Quick 'N' Dirty Planet Generator by adding procedurally generated planets, routes, names, and governments to create a nice, compact little galaxy to explore. Right now, it's just a toy, but you can probably see where I'm planning to go with this!
Version 0.2 update: Saving Things!
- Added auto-saving and auto-loading of the galaxy and the current state of your exploration. Reload your browser and pick right back up where you left off!
- Fixed a bug where the same governments and government colors were chosen over and over
- Fixed a bug where governments could take over the capitals of other governments during generation

Rock is another Noah Poole Sports Sim, but this time it's autobiographical!
When I was young my friends and I would go out in the woods and smoke weed and throw rocks at bigger rocks, with whoever got the closest winning the round. Spend a lazy summer trying to beat your friends. First one to ten wins!
Initially made for eggjam 24. Thanks for playing!

Howdy! This is just a wallpaper that I made based off a character in a rpg I'm making for Picotron. It follows your desktop theme, plus it contains special "outfits" for the following months; January, February, April, October, November, and December! I may update this from time to time btw (already have, this has been in the discord server for a bit).

A simple strategy board game for 2-4 players. Can be played with the standard Shogi set.
There are two types of pieces:
- Players, move 1 square in any cardinal direction and can only be moved by their owners.
- Pointers, move 1 square in any direction except backward and can be moved by all players. When pointers move, their orientation changes.
Pointers attack the square in front of them. Players cannot enter an attacked square. If a player is attacked, they must move out; if they cannot, they are defeated.
A player wins by reaching the center of the board, or by defeating all other players.
