lexaloffle documented two programs, so every platform naming PICO-8 received Voxatron's files: ROCKNIX, RetroDECK and RetroBat run PICO-8 only. Voxatron is its own profile, named vox_official. A platform also runs the emulators its standalone_cores list names: Batocera and KNULLI list lexaloffle there and nowhere else.

|
|
Commercial fantasy console by Lexaloffle Games LLP, sold as ZIP archives
|
|
per platform. Nothing in the program checks a hash of its own files: the
|
|
hashes below are those of the files in the official 0.2.7 archives.
|
|
Voxatron, the same publisher's other program, is profiled apart
|
|
(voxatron.yml).
|
|
|
|
The program finds its own folder through /proc/self/exe and reads its
|
|
.dat beside itself. The paths below are the layout of the archives, whose
|
|
top folder is pico-8/: a launcher that runs one of these files from a
|
|
folder places the program folder there.
|
|
|
|
PICO-8 0.2.7 ships five archives. pico-8_0.2.7_amd64.zip holds pico8
|
|
(x86_64, SDL2 linked in) and pico8_dyn (x86_64, system libSDL2).
|
|
pico-8_0.2.7_raspi.zip holds pico8 (armhf, SDL2 linked in, needs the
|
|
Raspberry Pi libbcm_host.so), pico8_dyn (armhf, system libSDL2), pico8_gpio
|
|
(armhf, needs libbcm_host.so and libwiringPi.so) and pico8_64 (aarch64,
|
|
system libSDL2). pico-8_0.2.7_i386.zip holds pico8_32bit and
|
|
pico8_32bit_dyn, pico-8_0.2.7_windows.zip holds pico8.exe and
|
|
pico-8_0.2.7_osx.zip holds PICO-8.app. Each binary opens pico8.dat from its
|
|
own folder and quits when it is absent, and pico8.dat is the same file in
|
|
every archive of one version. The binaries name no other file of the
|
|
archive: which binary runs, and from which folder, is the launcher's choice.
|
|
The amd64 and raspi archives carry pico8.dat 10b39730, byte for byte.
|
|
|
|
Launchers by platform, each read at the revision the platform file pins:
|
|
- Batocera lexaloffleGenerator.py runs bios/pico-8/pico8 and raises when it
|
|
is missing or not executable, with LD_LIBRARY_PATH set to bios/pico-8.
|
|
The name is fixed for every board: an x86_64 board needs the amd64 pico8,
|
|
a Raspberry Pi 32-bit board the raspi pico8, an aarch64 board pico8_64
|
|
renamed.
|
|
- KNULLI knulli-install-pico8 unzips the raspi archive from roms/pico8,
|
|
stops when pico8_64, pico8_dyn, pico8_gpio or pico8.dat is missing, moves
|
|
pico8_64 to bios/pico-8/pico8 and the other three beside it. Its
|
|
lexaloffleGenerator.py runs bios/pico-8/pico8 with no LD_LIBRARY_PATH.
|
|
The RG35XX simplermenu launcher runs pico8_dyn.
|
|
- Recalbox pico8Generator.py moves bios/pico-8 to /overlay/emulator/pico-8
|
|
and renames pico8_64 to pico8 there, then runs it.
|
|
- ROCKNIX start_pico8.sh runs roms/pico-8/pico8_64 on aarch64 and
|
|
roms/pico-8/pico8_dyn on any other HW_ARCH, from roms/pico-8/<HW_ARCH>/
|
|
when that folder exists. ROCKNIX reads nothing from bios/.
|
|
- AmberELEC pico-8.sh runs roms/pico-8/pico8_64 and shows "Missing Pico-8
|
|
binaries!" when pico8_64 or pico8.dat is absent.
|
|
- EmuELEC pico8.sh copies roms/bios/pico-8/* to /emuelec/bin/pico-8 on the
|
|
next start and runs pico8_dyn from there, with no existence check.
|
|
- RetroDECK component_launcher.sh executes bios/pico-8/pico8, and its
|
|
component_manifest.json lists pico8, pico8.dat and pico8_dyn as required.
|
|
- RetroBat Pico8.Generator.cs runs pico8.exe from the folder its config
|
|
names pico8 and returns nothing when pico8.exe is absent. That folder is
|
|
an emulator install, outside the BIOS tree.
|
|
- ArkOS (dArkOS pico8/pico8.sh) prefers roms/pico-8/pico8_64, then
|
|
roms/pico-8/pico8_dyn, then extracts pico8_64 and pico8.dat from a
|
|
*raspi.zip in that folder, and starts Fake08 when the binary or
|
|
pico8.dat is still missing.
|
|
- ES-DE es_find_rules.xml looks for pico8_64 under ~/Applications/pico-8
|
|
and three other home folders on linuxarm, pico8 on linux and unix, and
|
|
pico8.exe on Windows.
