Steam Deck: Pico-8 Install, Configure and Splore Setup (Native Linux Edition + Emulation Station)
NEW AND IMPROVED! Native Linux version! Emulation Station integration! Full Splore access! So much more!
Pico-8 is a fantasy console that let's you create and play "old school" type 8-bit style games. In this video, we'll set it up and configure it to run from Games Mode as well as show you some great configuration changes and techniques you might need to make the experience even better.
Note: Pico-8 is not free software. This video assumes you have purchased the Pico-8 package and have access to your downloads page. It is recommended you have a physical keyboard/mouse for this tutorial.
This video supersedes my old video which installed the Windows version.
