hi! i bought a MIYOO MINI V4  to play pico 8 games

i've followed these instructions:
Drag the app folder from the releases page into /mnt/SDCARD/App/ (so it becomes /mnt/SDCARD/App/pico). Warning: If you use FTP and Filezilla, you must set your transfer type to binary or it will corrupt binaries on transfer.

Drag your RASPBERRY PI pico8_dyn and pico8.dat into /mnt/SDCARD/App/pico/bin (If the directory doesn't exist, you can create it). You can purchase Pico-8 here.

and i cannot manage to see pico 8 in the apps menu as the tutorials say.
also instead of all the apps they show i only see 4. instead of multiple apps as in the tutorial i followed

Pico should be usable by default on onionos just needs to be enabled.what version of onionOS are you running?

If you navigate to Apps>Package Manager>Expert there should be something in there to enable pico8

Does package manager even show?

Edit: here's the steps for onionOS provided you have the most up-to-date firmware

Turn on your Miyoo OnionOS device and navigate to Apps>Package Manager>Expert.

Scroll down in the system options until you see Pico-8 Standalone. Enable it.

Take the pico8_dyn and pico8.dat files from the licensed download package and place them into the /Rapp/PICO-8/bin directory on your OnionOS SD card.

Reinsert the SD card into the device and select Run Pico-8 w/ Splore under the apps settings section.
