      I have a Pi 3b and a Pi 4, both running fresh installs of Retropie 4.7.1.

      I followed the instructions here:

      https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/24127/how-to-install-the-pico-8-on-retropie-for-dum-dums

      to get Pico-8 running on the Pi 3b, and they worked perfectly (after including the CHMOD fix to get around the permissions crash). But following the exact same instructions DOESN'T make it work on the Pi 4. When I try to run a game on the 4 it crashes with a segmentation fault.

      Parameters: 
      Executing: /home/pi/RetroPie/roms/pico-8/pico8 -splore
      /opt/retropie/supplementary/runcommand/runcommand.sh: line 1281:  4313 Segmentation fault      /home/pi/RetroPie/roms/pico-8/pico8 -splore
      

      (It's the same whether I try to boot it to SPLORE or to a specific game with %ROM%, and I have the latest version of Pico-8, downloaded from Lexaloffle a couple of days ago.)

      Does anyone actually have Pico-8 running on a Pi 4, or is this a fundamental problem with the driver that can't be fixed from the user end?

      Raspberry Pi 3b and 8GB Raspberry Pi 4, both running Retropie 4.7.1 installed from scratch using Raspberry Pi Imager, with wired keyboard, wireless mouse and double arcade joystick attached.

          @mitu Managed to figure it out - you just need to run a different executable. Going to write up a 2001 version of that tutorial.
