PicoPlay changelog

v1.01 · Nov 2, 2026

Full Playable Slipways Cartridge: Replaced the truncated 5 KB stub with the complete 50 KB playable Slipways cartridge in /app0/carts and updated the in-app BBS Store ID (slipways-1).
DualShock 4 Mouse Cursor Emulation: Added Right Analog Stick and DualShock 4 Touchpad cursor tracking (stat 32, 33) plus R2 / Touchpad Click / L2 mouse button support (stat 34) for mouse-driven PICO-8 games.
Z8Lua VM Fix (OP_GETTABLE): Resolved nil table property lookup fallback bug that caused freezes in complex cartridges.
Pause Menu Normalization: Saved/restored hardware video state (hwState) and reset camera/clip/palette when toggling the Options pause menu; fixed selection highlight alignment and prevented accidental Left/Right activation on standard menu items.
Input Repeat, Audio Loop & VSYNC Frame Pacing: Fixed btnp repeat interval calculation, smoothed Arcade carousel repeat rates, added SFX bounds checks & safe music loop wrapping, and improved VSYNC frame pacing.

Complete Rebrand to PicoPlay (PPLA00008): Trademark-safe identity, custom 24-bit RGB PS4 XMB icon, and updated PICOPLAY ARCADE BIOS.
PS4 Launch & Hardware Fixes: Fixed SDL2 initialization (SDL_INIT_HAPTIC bypass), software renderer fallback for OpenOrbis SDL2, and native DualShock 4 libScePad + SDL_JOYBUTTON handling.
Read-Only /app0/carts Protection: Fixed Vm::LoadCart overwriting the writable /data/picoplay/carts directory after launching bundled games, ensuring in-app BBS Store downloads always succeed.
