      ​@@Pax_Mayn3 Anyone, it's easy to get into and a great introduction to coding and development. Everything is built in including sprite and sound maker. And having you work with limitations is GREAT because it forces you to make lots of little games to learn more rather than trying to make an epic game right away. Plus you can see code from ANY game and that helps a ton.
      Also, lots of tutorials here on youtube and there is something VERY satisfying about handing your handheld to a friend to try out a game that you made.

Making sprites, moving them around, playing with music, and looking at the code for games like Celeste. The programming is very much like BASIC (PRINT"Hello World"), but with some modern commands as well.

    Pico-8 games run great on the RGB30, Just about any system with the official engine runs them well because they're such small games, but made with incredible ingenuity. They are the epitome of "pick up and play" arcade games seeing as they don't have the baggage of needing to be cinematic masterpieces. My only issues is that because the code for many of them are available, there are a LOT of clones. I mean there's like 15 Celeste and 32 Tetris clones which makes it a bit hard to find the real gems without videos like this that actually show them playing.

I’m oblivious to this whole world and had no idea such a thing even existed, (I’m just not a tech guy), and it’s completely mind-boggling. Every game I ever loved and hundreds more, and I can hook it up to my tv!! Seriously one of the best gifts ever.

    Just discovered that pico 8 exists like 2 weeks back. And one week into it I also discovered that it does not exist, but still enjoying it. I play it on an rg35xx plus, though, where I think it's not possible to have it run natively, correct? This is almost making me purchase an rgb30 only for this reason. Opinion: is rug it natively really that much better? What am I missing by using it into RetroArch?

    • @TechDweeb
      @TechDweeb  10 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Yeah I don't think there is a native version for the 35xx Plus yet. Yes running natively is much better. You'll notice that lots of games have stuttering issues in retroarch, or graphical glitches, or they won't launch. And most importantly you can't use Splore which is a very fun way to use Pico8 and discover new games. Don't buy this purely for Pico8, stick with what you got, but if you DO buy it for pico8 you'll get the superior experience.

    Is there a way to put pico 8 games on my rgb30.without buying the $15 thing..can i just find pico 8 games and put them and play them on my rgb30 ????

    • @TechDweeb
      @TechDweeb  10 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Yes, but then you'll be using the retroarch emulator which doesn't have great performance. Worth a try though! You can just add the games to your RGB30 and give em a try.

    Have you ever tried to make your own game on the Pico-8 architecture? I'm no coder, but I still have some ideas that I would love to impart on the community.

    This has blown my mind. Can't wait to tinker and get it running on my r36s I'm getting any day now. Cab Ride and that taxi game look particularly interesting but do not show up in the Pico8 cart collection when I search. Is there another repository somewhere?

    • @TechDweeb
      @TechDweeb  10 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Most games are available on Lexaloffle www.lexaloffle.com/bbs/?tid=41332
      You can also search in the Splore app

    Can anyone tell me how you get Pico-8 to use the entire screen of an RGB30? I got it working otherwise.

    • @TechDweeb
      @TechDweeb  11 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Are you using the official software or the retorach core? If you're on the official software I don't think it's possible to adjust the settings, it should automatically be fullscreen. If you're on the retroarch core you'll have to go into the retroarch settings>video>scaling and set integer scale to OFF.

      @@TechDweeb I'll fiddle around some more, as one does with these things. I am using Pico-8 not the core, so far.

    good video, really good. i didnt know any of this. now im curious, considering the graphics, could these games exist on atari? nes 8bit?

    • @TechDweeb
      @TechDweeb  11 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      I don't think so. They are 8 bit games, so that would be NES/GBC era, but neither of those would have the processing power to be able handle most of these games. I'd say that even though they're coded for 8 bit architecture you'd need at least a Sega 32X level retro console to run them.

    Would be cool to have pico 8 pixel perfect device though. All these years digging into retro handhelds made me a pixel purist unfortunately. Maybe I should visit a doctor

    • @TechDweeb
      @TechDweeb  11 หลายเดือนก่อน +3

      True. Although at 720x720 it's basically impossible to notice that it's not pixel perfect. Even with non integer scaling the pico8 pixels are either 5x5 or 6x6, which is not noticeable at the resolution we have here.

    • @thomaschipman
