Fake-08 development trails PICO-8 so it’s possible your Fake-08 version is out of date, the cart is made with a newer PICO-8 version, or the cart is just plain incompatible with Fake-08 (many carts do not work with Fake-08).
I have a couple handhelds like yours and the official raspberry pi PICO-8 build works great on them - I suggest you get a PICO-8 license and check your distribution’s documentation to learn where to place the raspberry pi PICO-8 binary in the filesystem.
I didn’t do any fancy mounting, as far as I can remember. I think it really was just a matter of copying the directories to my SD card and replacing the directories on the deck with links to the ones I copied to the card.
I’ll take a look at what I did the next time I get the deck out and let you know
Really grinds my gears manufacturers pretend the beveled screens are premium features and not the ugly, difficult-to-protect liabilities that they actually are.
Not directly relevant but if you have the 64gb deck and a big SD card: you can symlink the directory that houses all the proton versions and shader catches to the SD card.
That was pretty much the first thing I did after I got my deck, as a stopgap before I could upgrade the SSD but it’s been working well enough I never got around to swapping out the SSD after, what, almost two years?

Just get a decent 1-2GB SD card for the 64 GB deck. Uninvasive, convenient, cheap storage upgrade with no human-noticeable performance difference between the more expensive decks.
I’ve owned both the 512 GB and 64 GB deck + big SD card and I can’t tell the difference between them without precise performance benchmarks. The only difference is the 512 GB has an anti glare screen.
IMHO yes. It is among my favorite games of all time.
The plot is of course nonsense (all far cry plots are garbage), but the core gameplay loop is tight, the shooting feels good and there’s a diverse arsenal, you get a large selection of colorful sidekicks and animal companions, the most annoying mechanics of earlier titles in the franchise were fixed or removed in 5, and the entire campaign can be played coop after you escape from tutorial Island.
It doesn’t take itself too seriously but it’s also a internally consistent rural Montana simulator. Stealth mechanics feel great (subjective ofc) but more aggressive strategies work well too. The base game has plenty of content and goes on sale frequently.
It was everything I loved about FC3 but more of it and bigger and polished to a radiant shine, with a kitschy rural US setting.
FC4 was a stinker. FC5 is the best in the franchise, though
My understanding is that most cheats for retro consoles are a memory location plus a value to write in that location.
I believe that’s how the “game genie” worked on nes, snes, and OG game boy. Have you tried entering some game genie/game shark codes in the RA cheats for your core?
It’s been a while since I used cheats on RA other than save states and rewind but I know I’ve gotten them working before (years ago) on snes
