PICO-8 is a fantasy console for making, playing, and sharing small games. PICO-8 is a commercial product by Lexaloffle Games LLP. Versions are available for Windows, mac OS, Linux, and Raspberry Pi. The Raspberry Pi version runs on the GameShell, with some set-up.
As of Launcher v1.24, the Launcher now has a built-in PICO-8 installer to make this even easier! You will copy PICO-8 to your GameShell, then run this installer to finish set-up.
Follow these instructions to get PICO-8 and install it on your GameShell. It will run in the _splore_ mode, which lets you browse, download, and play PICO-8 games.
_Note:_ The current version of the GameShell has an alternate Launcher called "LauncherGo." Only the original Launcher has the PICO-8 installer. Switch back to Launcher, if necessary.
**Updating the Launcher**
If you haven't already, connect your GameShell to wifi, and perform a software update. You can do both of these under Settings. Locate the "Wi-Fi" and "Update" options, and use them to update to at least Launcher version 1.24.
You should see a PICO-8 option in the main menu. You will use this to install PICO-8.
_Note:_ Launcher v1.24 also includes an alternate Launcher called "LauncherGo." Only the original Launcher has the PICO-8 installer. Switch back to Launcher, if necessary.
