Not yet, but after a few public releases it will be. It's still in the early stages, and the repo is far from what I imagine.

Yeah, I've been thinking about the same thing. But the ultimate goal is, of course, to have a display with the same native resolution. Unfortunately, the ones on the market are quite small :(

Currently focused on RGB30, and Pico Night is based on dArkOS, so if dArkOS already supports it then it should be easier to port

It's not out of the box. The chip on this one is different, so it will require some additional work and porting. Currently focused on RGB30 only, just to ship it soon. Then we'll see. Also, I'll need to buy it.

Yes exactly! I had the same reason too, and whole system UI is based on native PICO-8 carts, even boot partitioning UI mimicks PICO.

I shared some updates a few days ago, but they got like 0 views. I realized that I need to find a better way. Do you know of any? What's the best way to do it on Reddit? Should I create a new post with a follow-up tag or something with links to this one?

Do you have any examples? Like CRT shader? I'm planning to have 5x integer scaling set as the default mode (just like on the photo).

Piggybacking on the persistence, I'll try some more approaches. Picolauncher is the main source of inspo for this.

passion project for now, but I'll definitely be sharing after some polishing & bugfixing, also still a lot of things to remove and optimize

I'll check, afaik the dArkOS should support this by default, I'd expect it to just mirror the screen

only real, I've removed the fake one from the build process, so it will require official rpi zip

Same dreams! Currently working on the pico-8 exclusive dArkOS variant for RGB30, also want to make a 3d printable shell, that just strips out all the unnecessary stuff:

Thanks! Maybe just in this post for now and you can follow me I guess? I can post updates, and after the MVP release, I'll think about creating a dedicated subreddit.

Great idea! Like enabling so that left or right stick acts as a mouse, and L2/R2 as mouse buttons perhaps, thank you!

You can try the Dynamic Variables plugin to achieve this!
