PICO-8: Retroarch lr-retro8 core installation script
-
@benmclean Given the limitations of lr-retro8, I'm wondering if it's possible to create an install script for Pico-8 that sets up the basic infrastructure but DOESN'T include the game files (since you need to purchase the system for $15 and we want to support the creators!). I've followed instructions for a basic Pico-8 install on Retropie but there are a lot of steps to do it. Also, the newest Pico-8 version lets you escape the program from joypad. There is now a shutdown option in the basic menu. I think this is really new!

That was my initial thought to do when I first started looking at this. Something which does everything for you except you have to provide it with the executable first.
I can't promise when I'll have something but I can give it a try sometime.

I hate to sound whiny but with this guy's PR which has nothing wrong with it just sitting there for almost a year and a half at this point, I suspect that submitting PRs to the Carbon theme may not actually benefit very many users in the end since by the time these PRs get merged, if ever, the whole RetroPie system might become obsolete, what with the Steam Deck and other next gen systems coming out soon.
But maybe I'm wrong. Maybe EmulationStation will be put onto those systems too?
Anyway, I have my own projects so I don't want to invest time in something that's not going to actually benefit people.

@benmclean You can exit the game from the joypad, You can exit individual game cartridges by hitting
STARTon your controller and then selectSHUTDOWN. In the SPLORE browser you need to hitSTARTon controller, then hitOPTIONSthenSHUTDOWN! -

@benmclean Oh really that sounds nice. What's the setup the new build has for that? I currently use xboxdrv and have ctrl+q mapped to start+select

It's just been added to the options menu in Pico8.
