Hey all πŸ‘‹ !

picolauncher v0.2 is out! We have a couple of brand new features in this release, namely:

  • BBS support is here, you can now play games from a variety of categories, such as action, platformer, puzzle, etc
  • External applications! In the new apps menu, you can launch pico8, splore, and any other pico8 tool or game, such as picoCAD

We also fixed a bunch of bugs and added quality of life features:

  • more ergonomic back controls! Press [O] button to go back from any app
  • fixed crash when photos gallery is empty
  • shutdown menu item now actually shutdown pico8 instead of returning to the command line
  • fixed formatting in the time in main menu

!! IMPORTANT !!
This build of picolauncher depends on chromium or google chrome to scrape the BBS. This will be removed in the next release, but currently you must have either of these installed to be able to use picolauncher. On raspberry pi / ubuntu / debian, you can install with

sudo apt-get install chromium-browser
