I’ve released GoPico v1.0, a native Android app for running PICO-8 carts locally, with a focus on minimizing startup time, input latency, and rendering overhead compared to browser-based players.
The app executes carts on-device and is optimized specifically for mobile hardware.
Current scope:
~350 curated carts used for compatibility and performance validation
No ads, no accounts, no monetization
First public release
Planned next steps:
Physical controller support
Tuning for handheld devices
Broader compatibility and performance testing
If you try it, feedback is especially useful if it includes:
Device model and Android version
Any crashes, inaccuracies, or performance regressions
