PICO-8: Retroarch lr-retro8 core installation script

@folly it's pretty standard for projects wanting changes grouped into single commits, but squashing commits is a 1 minute job in the command line once you know how. i know it's a pain but i encourage you to learn git on the command line: https://git-scm.com/docs/gittutorial - it's a useful skill these days!
If I get a good or at least reasonable pull request put in for adding pico8 to Carbon, will it take months or years to be merged in? I see other PRs sitting there a long time.

Well it seems I did manage the squashing part, but the pushing part did't work
Thanks for giving me the link, I will look into it deeper.
Hopefully I will get the picture ;-) -

Please, do continue, otherwise we don't get any further and that would be a shame as we are almost there.
I think the pico-8 will be accepted much sooner than other systems. -

This is what happens when I try to load emulationstation on Windows.
So I guess something about how the Windows version draws SVGs is messed up.
-
Can you share your controller.svg ?
Let me see how it looks on Linux. -

Let me see how it looks on Linux.I tried it on RetroPie and it looks correct on there. Just not on Windows. Weird.
-
Not sure what the problem is.
I had a look at the system.svg .
I can pop out all objects so it seems to be a pure .svg .
Nevertheless vector images and inkscape can be a pain.Are the other systems looking good on windows ?

The Windows version I set up only had SEGA Genesis and Super Mario War which looked OK.

@benmclean are you running retropie on windows or is it just emulationstation ?

It was just the emulationstation portable build for Windows provided in the tutorial of how to make your own themes.

The hold-up at this point is the controller.svg. I'm going to try a few different things to decide what looks best before submitting the PR.
I might also want to do TIC-80 and LowRes NX soon-ish.
-
@benmclean lr-tic80 has now been merged to Retropie-Setup so having a TIC-80 icon would be great! TIC-80 already has icons in the Cygnus Blue Flames theme, so it'd be good to have on Carbon as well.
-
PICO-8 has been merged too ;-)
@dmmarti can you add this information in your first post ?
Lowres-nx should be the next one.
-
I'll try to get to this soon!
-
-
Some quick notes: I got in touch with the LowRes NX guy via email to get his vector artwork and also have discovered that TIC-80 uses this font.
-
Cool !
-
I'm doing TIC-80 before LowRes NX because it's going to be easier.
Like with Pico8, I'm using the default color palette for TIC-80 carts on the logo and I'm changing it to add a border so that it will have sufficient contrast to be readable against any background. But I'm conflicted on how thick the border on the TIC-80 should be.
Do you prefer system.svg
or system2.svg?
The TIC-80 controller.svg was pretty easy:
-
Looking nice ;-)
I prefer the second one.
