    hi! i bought a MIYOO MINI V4  to play pico 8 games

    i've followed these instructions:
    Drag the app folder from the releases page into /mnt/SDCARD/App/ (so it becomes /mnt/SDCARD/App/pico). Warning: If you use FTP and Filezilla, you must set your transfer type to binary or it will corrupt binaries on transfer.

    Drag your RASPBERRY PI pico8_dyn and pico8.dat into /mnt/SDCARD/App/pico/bin (If the directory doesn't exist, you can create it). You can purchase Pico-8 here.

    and i cannot manage to see pico 8 in the apps menu as the tutorials say.
    also instead of all the apps they show i only see 4. instead of multiple apps as in the tutorial i followed

        Got any screenshots of the file tree on the SD card you can upload too?

        Also, what OS is preinstalled on that.

              i've posted a comment with a few screenshots.
              it has onion os by default.
              putting in the sd card gives you retroarch.
              basically:
              in the app foleder i' ve put pico / bin / pico8.dat and , pico8_dyn
              in the emu folder there 's no pico 8
              in the roms folder there's a pico folder with .p8 files in it (it was already in the sd card, i didnt download them)
              in the imgs there's a pico folder with .png files in it (this also was already in the sd card, i just tried to rename breakout_hero.png to breakout_hero.p8 b)

              when i try to execute it says exec format error

                  Pico should be usable by default on onionos just needs to be enabled.

                  If you navigate to Apps>Package Manager>Expert there should be something in there to enable pico8

                  Does package manager even show?

                  Edit: here's the steps for onionOS provided you have the most up-to-date firmware

                  Turn on your Miyoo OnionOS device and navigate to Apps>Package Manager>Expert.

                  Scroll down in the system options until you see Pico-8 Standalone. Enable it.

                  Take the pico8_dyn and pico8.dat files from the licensed download package and place them into the /Rapp/PICO-8/bin directory on your OnionOS SD card.

                  Reinsert the SD card into the device and select Run Pico-8 w/ Splore under the apps settings section.
