Running 64bit Bulleseye (Raspberry Pi OS) and I cannot get Pico8 to boot, whether trying Pico8, Pico8_dyn. or Pico8_gpio. Pico8_64 is a 
"shared library" rather than being executable/

Hi
There are some issues with the most recent raspberry pi builds that I can't debug for another couple of weeks while away from my office -- I've added 0.2.5c back to the downloads which may work better for you. In that case, you can run it with "pico8 -accept_future 1" in order to load splore carts authored in 0.2.5d/e. Apologies for the extra hassle.

I can confirm that EmuELEC (RaspPi Pico8 version 0.2.5e) does not boot. After downloading v0.2.5c everything runs fine. 

May I ask what device you were able to get it working on? I'm struggling to get it working on an RG353 device (which I think runs EmuELEC but I'm pretty new to this).

My device is RG351P , if you're not sure how to run ports the best tutorals are here: https://retrogamecorps.com/2020/11/12/guide-pico-8-on-retro-handhelds/

Sadly my raspberry pi console doesn't have a keyboard so this isn't a fix for me :/

Same, I get a black screen... :C
