A build of PICO-8 0.1.5 is now available for Raspberry Pi! Check your updates page or look in your Humble library under the Linux downloads section.
It works in fullscreen under either X Windows or directly from the terminal (using directfb). For speed, the default resolution is 280,280; you can set this with the -width and -height switches:
pico8 -width 720 -height 480
Known issues:
- After quitting, keypresses during the session are sometimes dumped to terminal (annoying if you quit by typing shutdown instead of CTRL-Q!)
- Freeze on exit (observed on a zero)
- Some math-heavy cartridges (e.g. /demos/cast.p8) don't run at full speed on first generation models.
There are two builds included in the archive. pico8 is compiled statically (so no need to install SDL2), and pico8_dyn dynamically loads libraries, in case you'd like to supply your own SDL2.
Have fun, and please post pictures if you get pico-8 running on any cute displays!

On a RPi 2 with Ubuntu Mate for Pi 2 i can't type anything with X. The ESC key works to switch modes, the ENTER key works to get a new line, but i can't type "HELP", "LS" etc.
Might be related to Ubuntu Mate? No idea. I don't think i have a normal Raspbian for RPi 2 lying around, although i'm going to try on RPi 1 :)
(Didn't try from console, after two hard reboots it seems that systemd isn't able to boot anymore...)
Edit: (i had to fix the filesystem but anyway.)
it works in console without that problem above :)
Edit part2: i had set up my French/AZERTY keyboard as Macintosh as i sometimes use a Mac keyboard with the Pi, setting it up as PC keyboard, i can now type with PICO on X too. :)
Edit3: Nope, turns out now even Mate set up as PC keyboard the inputs don't work in X anymore... i don't know what's the problem..

What's the best Pi model to get for PICO-8? I have been looking into getting one for a while, but I don't really know a lot about them.

This is working great on a Pi 2 B+. I've seen the freeze-on-shutdown case there as well -- but only when launching from menus or file browser. When launching from the shell, it exits cleanly.

Amazing! It works on my Pi (first version). I have played a lot of cartridges with success.
Sadly the numbers keys are not working on an azerty keyboard (french).
So I can only play not edit. It may be the same problem as previously found on the others pico versions (and corrected with success since).

Ran on Pi Model B (first gen) and runs very very well! I'm surprised at the minimum (700MHz) it can run cast.p8 with good speed!
EDIT: Also, you might want to chmod 777 the pico8 and pico8_dyn files
@atarimonkey When I'm in the console, I goto the pico-8 folder and do ./pico8

@funzrey, that advice is terribly irresponsible. It cost a client $1k in my time alone, and much more in lost customers, just last week. chmod a+x is all you need. Anyone who says "777" (in basically any context) is giving you dangerous advice. Don't do it.

Woo! Been waiting for it :3
Now to get my raspberry Pi 2 out and see if I can't make a nice two player setup with it.
Gonna need to buy some USB gamepads though hmm.
Wish it was easier to make my own without a 3D printer heh.
Well now I can take Pico-8 games with me with ease.
Just plug in and go :3
Hopefully I can get some multiplayer matches going with friends.
