How can I navigate to the home/pi folder?

I have FileZilla ?

That works also.

When I typed it in before I had the line ‘no such file or directory’ ?

You don't need to type it, just browse to the /dev/shm/ folder on the Pi and look for that file.

I can’t get any games to start as the screen goes black after I select a game then just goes back to the game selection screen after about 3 seconds

That's usually an emulator/game error and /dev/shm/runcommand.log is where it gets logged. If the file is not there, there's no log.

@mitu ok I’ll try that and let you know!..
Also, when I downloaded the Linux version of Pico-8 I picked the 32bit ahead of the 64bit version
Was that correct?

Yes, but there's a lot of different 'bits' going around. Which version specifically did you download ?

@mitu I downloaded the 32bit Linux version from the official site and the version is PICO-8 v0.2.0d

You're sure you downloaded the version for the Raspberry Pi and not the one for Linux 32 bit ?

Yes defiantly had the pi version!
I just went to the location you said about the run command and this is what is written..

Parameters:
Executing: /home/pi/pico-8/pico8 /home/pi/pico-8/lexaloffle-pico8.png
/opt/retropie/supplementary/runcommand/runcommand.sh: line 1251: /home/pi/pico-8/pico8: Permission denied

/home/pi/pico-8/pico8

Try running the following from the command line

chmod +x /home/pi/pico-8/pico8

and see if the game(s) launch.

So just open the terminal (f4) type that and enter is that where to enter it? So sorry to be a pain

sumps

@mitu also, do I reboot after that?

mitu

@sumps No, there's no need to reboot, just restart EmulationStation back.

Ok so progress! Now boots into Pico8 that’s great thanks so much @mitu

Just have to find a guide for the next steps but at least it’s booting now👍

sumps

@mitu yes definitely all working now
Just can’t get any controls to work apart from a plugged in keyboard!?

I've created a script in the RetroPie-Extra repo for adding the Pico8 as its own system to your RetroPie install: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/zerojay/RetroPie-Extra/master/scriptmodules/emulators/pico8.sh
