PICO-8 run fullscreen

 Not just fullscreen windowed, but with the actual console display area maximised inside the window. 

This is intended for my 1:1 ratio lenovo monitor ON RASPBERRY PI.

The key is to run the launch command with the following arguments:

$ home/pico-8/pico8 -draw_rect 0,0,1920,1920

The config.txt file does not accept this flag as far as I've been able to determine, so you need to do the following:

Create a new pico8.desktop file in /usr/share/applications and use the following config:

[Desktop Entry]

Type=Application

Name=Pico-8

Comment=Pico-8 Fantasy Console

Icon=/usr/share/pixmaps/lexaloffle-pico8.png

Exec=/home/mitch/pico-8/pico8 -draw_rect 0,0,1920,1920

Terminal=false

Categories=Development;


Then add the icon png from the folder to /usr/share/pixmaps


reboot, or restart the window manager with lxpanelctl restart

Use the menu entry for pico8 to create a desktop icon


Hopeully that'll save you some time

pdf to png/jpg/etc

diskfilter writes are not supported

http://askubuntu.com/questions/468466/why-this-occurs-error-diskfilter-writes-are-not-supported " It's a BUG! This is a bug that occurs in the most recent version of Ubuntu Server (Ubuntu Server 14.04 LTS), when you create the boot partition (or the root partition, when the boot partition doesn't exists) inside a LVM or a RAID partition. You can get more info about this bug in Ubuntu Launchpad: Bug #1274320 "Error: diskfilter writes are not supported" . Why does this bug occur? When the system is booting, GRUB reads ( load_env ) data in /boot/grub/grubenv . This file is called GRUB Environment Block . From the GRUB Manual: It is often useful to be able to remember a small amount of information from one boot to the next. [...] At boot time, the load_env command (see load_env) loads environment variables from it, and the save_env (see save_env) command saves environment variables to it. ...

no sound in Papers Please

No sound at all, actually. First I installed alsa-utils, checked alsamixer master was not muted. Installed pulseaudio and pavucontrol. This gave me sound on youtube but not the game. Eventually found this tip in the hotline miami AUR comments: On x86_64 I had to install lib32-libpulse to get sound working. Without the package there was that error: ALSA lib dlmisc.c:252:(snd1_dlobj_cache_get) Cannot open shared library /usr/lib32/alsa-lib/libasound_module_pcm_pulse.so AL lib: (EE) alsa_open_playback: Could not open playback device 'default': No such device or address   https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Advanced_Linux_Sound_Architecture#Unmuting_the_channels https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/hotlinemiami/
