It's really cool!
Got it booting straight into 'splorer' so it works fine with the minimal keys I have mapped to the joysticks. Did make it shutdown after the pico8 process ends, but I have yet to find a way to exit, even when I had a full keyboard for testing.

In splore mode there is a menu option or if you end up in the console, type 'shutdown' without quotes. Obvs hard without the full keyboard...

I never found the menu inside splore, although to be fair i was still sulking about how long it took me to fix my cacky typing in the config file!!
I found this while i was googling about

I like the idea. you can simply drop the files onto a plain old fat32 SD card, and it will all just boot from there, no complicated image writing. I couldnt actually get it to work, but it got me thinking a custom install like that would make the mekka of a poco-8 portable more 'normal'
quick startup times, protected os files so you dont break anything by just turning it off, and everything 'baked in' so it all just works

Ah yes. I've seen that before but it was still a proto-project when I last saw it. that might be perfect for the VMU(*IF I can tailor it to use gpio buttons and it'll work with a PiZW WiFi)

well i tried it on a normal zero, with a 512mb sd card
and all i got was a blank screen on HDMI, although with last nights antics, it is highly likely that i did something wrong.
i was tempted to contact the guy, see if he fancied rolling a new version that works with the tft instead of HDMI
