Hello everyone!

I’m developing a game in PICO-8 and want to port it to a console. My game consists of several `.p8` files, which can easily be loaded into the `ROMS` folder and launched using the native PICO-8 application. I’ve already done this, and everything works fine on my console running muOS.

I’m curious—is it possible to bundle all `.p8` scripts into a single `.data` file and write an `.sh` script that would automatically launch the game in PICO-8?

What I’m aiming for is to have just two files instead of multiple scripts:

1. One file containing all the data and scripts (`.data`),
2. And an executable `.sh` file to load and run the game.

Would this be feasible?
