My first 3 XBOX games were on Windows Phone

zuco8 is a Zune HD PICO-8 emulator, based on open8 (PICO-8 emulator that supports multiple platforms like Nokia N-Gage).

Pico Racer running on Zune HD

PICO-8 is a fantasy video game console with an awesome community and thousands of games made for it.

I did only Zune HD specific parts for this project, all the actual emulation was already working.
Could be cool to make it run on older Zunes as well (if physical control buttons and trackpad would work - it would make Zune a perfect emulation machine for PICO) but unfortunately I don't have one.

You can download and install it the same way as any other homebrew OpenZDK / DeployKit app from GitHub:
zuco8/releases

If you want to put your own games there: just open the installer as a zip file and put game carts into \data\Content\carts\

I wonder which one is currently the most compatible and feature complete one (audio, mouse mode).
I saw there are a lot of projects that run on Vita, NGage and other retro device which is really cool as it gives those devices a great library of new games.

Though I'm not sure which one do I use? open8 looks like an awesome project but I noticed that some carts are really buggy (for example, The Lion King Tribute that it ships with is visually broken).

The same game runs well on femto8 but I didn't test a lot of games on it and I didn't yet try any others like fake-08, retro8 and pemsa.

Which ones do you use and why?

I made the game for Windows Phone 7 back then, it of course got all the backward compatibility up to Windows 10 Mobile (without any extra work from side) but the OS is dead anyway so the game not available for any modern phone.

Spent a week on porting it to Android, twice as much on publication and got 500 downloads so far.
It's far below "the old results" (it got 500 reviews back then) but it seems pretty fine for the current state of Google Play and a free non-monetized game, right?

500 installs, 206 active devices

From a user perspective I don't even understand how anyone finds new non-promoted games on that store. There is basically no section where I can see all the new releases.

Posted my first Medium article about the package I made for WinUI.

Is that a good amount of under the hood technical details or people typically expect to see more code and examples in Medium articles?

What is the best way to achieve native icon color, so it's the same color as browser's home/back/refresh buttons?

I currently check light/dark mode like
window.matchMedia && window.matchMedia('(prefers-color-scheme: dark)').matches
Then I set one of the 2 predefined icons with chrome.action.setIcon

But there are 2 obvious issues:
- My icons have predefined colors, so if user theme set them to red for example, my extension won't follow
- When user just opens browser, the icon is a generic one and will update only on first interaction

So how do you typically solve that?
