Cart crashes on initial stage load about fake-08

[jtothebell]

It looks like the first three are all multicart games. Did you include the extra carts? I know Poom worked at one point, so unless there was an update to Poom or some regression in Fake-08 that one should work. I will add the others to my list to investigate, but I don't know when I'll get to them.

Experiencing the same with Kalikan; looking into the (paid) download from itch.io right now.

a) Potentially useful info from the readme file:

To get the carts to talk to each other you might have to run the game as administrator , and they will have to be in the actual pico8/carts directory otherwise they don't work . Unsure why , ask zep <3

b) New error message when trying to start initial stage with all cart files available

system info:

• RetroArch 1.9.12 (2021-11-03)
• Android 13
• fake-08 libretro build 511 (src)
• placing .info file in the cores directory is not possible on non-rooted Android

steps to reproduce:

1. download Kalikan files from itch.io (paid, src)
2. find folder with .p8 files
3. copy all folder content to /storage/emulated/0/p8carts> on Android device (note: error is identical when using arbitrary other folder location)
4. rename kalikan_menu.p8 to kalikan_menu.p8.png (to prevent RetroArch "No core" error when trying to load cart)
5. open RetroArch
6. Load Core -> libfake08-arm64.so
7. Load Content -> ... -> kalikan_menu.p8.png
8. Game starts -> press buttons to enter actual game -> error

My best guess is that the cart files would need to be in an actual root-level dir /p8carts which is not achievable on a non-rooted Android system
