PICO-8 is a virtual machine and game engine created by Lexaloffle Games. It is a fantasy video game console that mimics the limited graphical and sound capabilities of 8-bit systems of the 1980s.

3DS-Pico8 is a work-in-progress homebrew application that allows you to play PICO-8 cartridges on your 3DS. Currently supports 3 cartridges and sound has not yet been implemented.

Installation

Version 0.3 supports the following cartridges, however it must be renamed to celeste.p8.png:

Hello World by zep.
Rainy Day Friends by Electric Gryphon.
Celete by Matt Thorson and Noel Berry.

Open the webpage. In the Pico8 webplayer, click Cart (in the bottom left corner) and save the image.

Rename it to celeste.p8.png, create a folder named Pico8Carts on the root of your SD card and place the cartridge there.

Place the 3DS-Pico8.3dsx in your 3ds folder, then run from the Homebrew Launcher.

Controls
