Still throwing an error on the Playdate website.

Update your pdxinfo file to just this:

name=JimInTheBox
author=Lurgypai
description=A game to show your friends how much fun the Playdate is!
bundleID=com.lurgypai.jiminthebox
version=1.0
imagePath=images/assets

I was able to get it to side load by making that change.


However when running the game on my device, I see an error message "Update Needed - The game must be updated to run on the current system version"

(+1)

The rest of the pdxinfo is generated automatically by the compiler, and it won't run in the simulator without the additional lines, which concerns me. My playdate arrives Monday, so I can begin testing myself. Sorry for the inconvenience!

Got my playdate, the new zip should be patched to sideload easily
