I’m having issues trying to run splore on Pico-8
I put the files I needed in muos/bios/pico8, and instead tried installing via archive manager, and neither has made it work
I set pico-8 as the “core” and use splore.p8 in my pico8 folder and it loads pico-8 and it loads the pico-8 terminal saying COULD NOT LOAD /MNT/UNION/ROMS/PICO-8/SPLORE.P8
Is the file called “Splore.p8”? It’s case sensitive.
Also the file has to be empty.
I have tried “Splore.p8” and “splore.p8”, and both an empty file as well as downloading and trying the sample file offered in the documentation and have been unsuccessful.
Can you launch other Pico-8 games?
Yeah they seem to, I’ve tested both a .p8 and a .p8.png game and both run fine. It’s just Splore that won’t launch.
Received help on the Discord and found a solution!
When launching a game, a cfg is created at MUOS/info/core/pico-8/Splore.cfg
If you mistakenly use the wrong case first (“splore.p8”), that gets saved to a splore.cfg file that is not replaced even when you delete and replace the file with “Splore.p8”). You have to delete that cfg file and then launch Splore.p8 again, which now will run correctly.
Huge thanks to Duncanyoyo1 for helping get to the bottom of this! And thank you too razorbeams for reaching out

I might look into doing a file name check especially if it is something as simple as case sensitivity.
