PICO-8 is a virtual machine and game engine created by Lexaloffle Games. It is designed to be 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.
