Rus in RG Cube is better to have a 640×640 screen resolution to have borderless experience. Pico8 games can only be scaled x5 an the max resolution is 640×640 in 720×720 we have borders. Good guide!

Many pico-8 games can be played through the Android app “P8 Player”.

I followed the ET Land xoxo video that Russ linked to install the Fake08 core into Retroarch, and it worked for launching games via Retroarch’s “Load Content” function, but I could not launch any games via ES-DE on Android.

Her instructions state to rename the file to “fake08_libretro.so”, but for it to work with ES-DE, it actually needs to be named “fake08_libretro_android.so”. If you rename the file to that and then use that .so to install the core into Retroarch, Pico8 .png games will then launch via ES-DE on Android.

tried this on my retroid pocket 4 pro, unfortunately doesn’t work (pico-8 0.2.5g). the .exe launches and immediately exits. tried a few settings, no good. if anyone can get this to work i’d love to know your settings!

Nice. The RG Cube definitely needs the Turnip driver; otherwise it boots to a black screen.

Another problem I’m having is that my guest container seems to have no network connectivity from the host. I can’t actually go sploring until I figure it out.
