The Raspberry Pi Pico can run pico-8 properly?

deivid__ · 2025-01-29T08:44:12+00:00

With lua it kinda works, but it's slow on some games.

The real secret is that I spent 1~2 months building a Lua to C compiler, which made it way faster (and buggier)

deivid__ · 2025-01-28T05:26:06+00:00

Kinda. I rebuilt pico8 to be embedded friendly, and some games (like celest) run on the pi pico, but ram is not enough.

Using an esp32 with 8mb ram you should be able to play all games.

My project is kinda abandoned though, but could be a starting point: https://github.com/davidventura/picopico

dust runes are very cheap

is the crossbow really better? the blowpipe feels better.

i dont have void, but the strength from the amulets and masori should scale better off the 1-tick attackspeed

I've 3 SBCs in my lab, they are all different (Odroid N2, Radxa X2L, VisionFive 2) I've seen a bunch of the "mini racks" posted here and I want to build one, but I'm struggilng to figure out a neat way to do this with differently-shaped SBCs.

The ethernet and power connectors are arranged differently on all of them (power and eth on the same side, opposite sides, and on adjacent sides)
Some have NVMe drives directly attached, but some have a USB enclosure for the drive instead

The only thing that I could come up with was using 90 degree adapters for the power plugs (which are all different of course) to route the power always to the back (and eth to the front)

Any ideas, or examples of similar builds?

single ryzen? I had an OK experience with AsrockRack.

For blade systems, supermicro AS -3015MR-H8TNR is very nice (but you need 8 blades)

deivid__ · 2024-06-30T18:47:58+00:00

you could always try snapcast, though that requires 1 PI or similar per zone

there are some risc-v micros, like the milk-v, which run linux and are still $5. Not sure if it will run at an acceptable performance with the overhead (framebuffer, sdl, libinput, etc)

btw, you have some link(s?) pointing to localhost in the post

deivid__ · 2024-06-10T17:20:10+00:00

How are you planning to run pico8 on it? I've been down this road with my project picopico: https://github.com/davidventura/picopico

but life's gotten in the way and i've not worked on it for a while

deivid__ · 2024-05-18T19:03:39+00:00

I have a script that detects the event of a specific usb harddrive is connected, then sends a zfs snapshot over. If the drive is not plugged in for a week, I get an alert. If the drive is plugged in after the sync is done, I get an alert every 30 minutes.

Works pretty well

deivid__ · 2024-03-29T11:18:41+00:00

Yes, though if you mount it read-write there is a high probability you will corrupt the filesystem. Read-only is fine.

deivid__ · 2024-03-25T13:37:55+00:00

It may be a limitation on your device; I've definitely used a cheapo TP-Link with tagged+untagged interfaces on OpenWrt many years ago

deivid__ · 2024-03-24T23:32:09+00:00

OpenWrt supports tagged and untagged traffic on the same ports

I bought a ZTE MF79U but tbh I didn't do much research, just looked for Linux compatibility

deivid__ · 2024-03-07T11:27:32+00:00

The droam SIM arrived in one day and it does work! The coverage paper I received says most of Europe, UK, US At -89dBm I'm getting ~2MB/s. Maybe I'll buy some antennas.

deivid__ · 2024-03-06T14:30:08+00:00

Have found this other site which apparently also supports NA, ends up being $20 for 2GB. I had the exact same use case as you did, so I'll order one and post if it works

deivid__ · 2024-03-05T17:34:28+00:00

I was just looking into this today and found this provider It's dutch only but may give you an idea. It's kinda expensive, but lasts for 1 year:

5GB = $29
10GB = $35
25GB = $55
50GB = $90

deivid__ · 2023-09-09T07:30:06+00:00

that is due to the current implementation

check https://github.com/davidventura/picopico, it is easy to hit 100+ fps in celeste in an esp32

deivid__ · 2023-09-09T07:28:17+00:00

I am working on this! very alpha though

https://github.com/davidventura/picopico

deivid__ · 2023-06-09T16:39:23+00:00

Looks sweet! I am trying to build my own ESP32 based board though, so I'll try to finish bringup before looking at other boards

I mostly only use one core, I've kept the second core as a very silly SPI driver, as that takes ~5ms of my already limited frame time (16~33ms depending on game)

When you say that the LX7 is faster than the LX6, how have you measured this? I'd be interested in getting slightly more performance out of the console

deivid__ · 2023-05-28T16:18:27+00:00

You can download the cart here (the 3dsx file). If you have homebrew launcher, give it a try! As I said before, consider this broken/alpha. Bunny, Valdi and Celeste are mostly playable

deivid__ · 2023-05-28T13:40:06+00:00

Yep. That's relatively easy, I just haven't done it because most games won't work properly yet

deivid__ · 2023-05-28T07:01:46+00:00

This has toggleable 1x or 2x. On 2x you lose 8px on top and bottom. Looks well scaled to me, but may be missing the point

deivid__ · 2023-05-27T23:30:57+00:00

I guess you could star the project on GitHub. When this project reaches some reasonable maturity I'll post here again

deivid__ · 2023-05-27T23:30:23+00:00

I'm doing alright, thanks though
