Very good Pico-8 emulator

I haven’t used Picpic much, but it seems like the best option right now. The only thing I’m wishing for is more console themes besides colors, and a way to input a Pico 8 license maybe to access Splore and the console and such. Speaking of the console, there should be a way to access it like regular Pico 8 (maybe for if you input a license so you have the full pico 8 thing) so you can do stuff like regular pico 8. Like creating games and such.

Great! Just great!

Need an option to move the game screen vertically. Just got my GameSir Pocket Taco, and when connected, the Pico-8 viewport is centered, placing it slightly under my controller. If I had a slider to move the screen vertically, that would be stupendous. Edit: I found an option to lock the screen to the top when a controller is connected. Perfect!

Awesome work, needs more quality of life.

I’m enjoying having a pico emulator on my phone, but I struggle with the d-pad and buttons. It seems like the tolerances are too tight where I’m forced to perfectly place my fingers where the app wants them to be. There’s no “close enough” zone in the control pad. For instance if I try to walk in a circle, there’s a dead zone where I stop walking between the up right down and left buttons. I’ve had better luck with other touch controls, so I know it can work. Makes gameplay often impossible especially for twitch games. Very excited to see this product thrive.
