notes: |
Commercial fantasy consoles by Lexaloffle Games LLP. Closed-source binaries
distributed as ZIP archives from lexaloffle.com (requires purchase).
Batocera configgen (lexaloffleGenerator.py) handles both systems via a single
generator. PICO-8: binary at bios/pico-8/pico8. Voxatron: binary at
bios/voxatron/vox. Generator checks binary existence and executable permission,
raises BatoceraException if missing. LD_LIBRARY_PATH set to the BIOS directory
for shared library resolution.
Each distribution ships a statically linked binary (pico8/vox) and a dynamically
linked variant (pico8_dyn/vox_dyn). Batocera uses the static binary. The .dat
file is loaded at startup and contains boot sequence, themes, and internal data.
PICO-8 supports x86_64 and ARM (Raspberry Pi). Voxatron x86_64 only.
Voxatron depends on libHoloPlayCore.so (Looking Glass SDK), compile-time linked.
