    Edit... I had figured most folks knew what Pico-8 was, sorry. It is a fantasy console for 8bit and folks make games for the platform. They can be played in HTML browsers or exported to various platforms. Here is a link to my demo game I made of 4 levels if you want to see what you experience. thx.

    Original post below...

    I thought it would be fun to see if MorphOS and Wayfarer 11 could handle playing a Pico-8 game exported out as HTML but no go.

    You see, I am working on a new Pico-8 game and they can be played in most modern browsers. So I exported my game and Wayfarer slowly brings up the main picture of the game but can't handle playing it. Non of the normal Z and X launch and play the game and no sound.

    It was worth a try though. Would have been FUN to play my own game on my X5K running MorphOS.

    I tried spoofing as Safari and iOS as well but same.

    Anyone ever try and get better results?

    Not sure if you're expecting any replies here not even having given us any links to follow. Do you expect everyone to know what Pico8 is? I for one have never heard of it.

    Anyway, this is most likely an asm.js wrapper and as such is not supported on Big Endian architectures.

    Thanks, I should not have assumed folks would know what Pico-8 is. Sorry. I added an edit to my original post with a link to my demo game and added a quick note what Pico-8 is.
