Ask HN: Trying to find emulator that loads PNGs

3 pointsby kenerwin88over 4 years ago
Hi,<p>I remember someone had posted on here awhile ago about an intentionally limited emulator that loads games that are entirely stored within their own cover art. I have Google&#x27;d everywhere and can&#x27;t seem to find it. Kind of like the js1kb competition, but the important thing was that the WHOLE game had to be within it&#x27;s own PNG file. Thank you!

I think you are referring to the fantasy console PICO-8 [1] which has &quot;carts&quot; that are games inside of a PNG container [2].<p>[1] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.lexaloffle.com&#x2F;pico-8.php" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.lexaloffle.com&#x2F;pico-8.php</a><p>[2] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;pico-8.fandom.com&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;P8PNGFileFormat" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;pico-8.fandom.com&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;P8PNGFileFormat</a>
