A Pico 8 player for homebrew consoles. Not related to or supported by Lexaloffle Software. Latest release includes releases for Nintendo 3DS, Nintendo Switch, Sony PS Vita, Nintendo Wii U, the Miyoo CFW for bittboy and similar consoles, and the Miyoo Mini.

Project Goals

The goal of Fake-08 is to make Pico-8 games playable on platforms that aren't officially supported. As such, I will only be providing builds for platforms that won't run Pico-8 proper (No Windows, Mac, Linux, Raspberry Pi, or web builds). As maintainer, my focus is on improving compatibility having fun. If you would like a specific feature or bug fixed, feel free to add an issue (but be patient- it may not be worked on immediately) or submit a pull request (see Other Notes below).

Usage

1. Download vpk and install with Vitashell Vita on Vita.
2. Pico 8 cart files go in the p8carts/ directory of your memory card (memory card at ux0:/ on Vita). .p8 text file carts and .p8.png image file carts are supported.
3. Launch FAKE-08 either via the homebrew menu or normal system UI (depending on how you installed). Use left and right to cycle through carts on the SD card. Choose a cart using the X(Vita) button.
4. To exit the currently running cart, press Start or + to open the pause menu and select Exit to Menu. Press R to cycle between rendering sizes. Press L and R simultaneously to exit the application. You can also close it via your console's operating system controls (home button etc).
