About this game

Infinity is an android port of fake-08, not official full-function release. Not related to or supported by Lexaloffle Software. Please refer to fake-08 project for more informations. https://github.com/jtothebell/fake-08

In addition to fake-08‘s restrictions, multi cart games are unsupported by Infinity.

Infinity now supports both OpenGL ES and Vulkan graphics backends. Vulkan is currently in beta, as I am not yet fully familiar with it and there is still room for optimization. Additionally, Pixel Perfect and Aspect Ratio scaling modes are supported. If you prefer a larger screen, you can choose Aspect Ratio.

ABOUT BUILT-IN CARTS

In my memory, I've never attempted to create games myself before, this is first time for me, and it's quite fun. The platform is indeed interesting, you should consider getting a copy. https://www.lexaloffle.com/pico-8.php

ABOUT 7x7 DEMAKE

It's a classic game from the Jelly Bean days that I used to love, I recently found out it's been taken down, so I decided to recreate it. The touch screen version (7x7 Remake) is also available now.

ISSUES

Due to Storage Access Framework‘s performance issue, the response time for the "Show Carts in Photos" option may be very slow. You can also hide them by adding a .nomedia file in Carts Directory using a file manager you trust.

If GamePad multi-touch not working on your Samsung Android device, please follow this guide. https://github.com/moonlight-stream/moonlight-android/issues/944#issuecomment-826149832

If Game Dashboard is enabled, touch input may be unresponsive for one or two seconds after a cold start. As a workaround, disable “Use Game Dashboard” in Settings > Google > Game Dashboard.

Ratings and reviews

it works for many pico 8 games. doesn't work with multicart though and some single carts just don't run. doesn't have touchscreen functionality, but I haven't seen many games use that. sometimes a game will run but will have save errors or buttons won't work, but that's rare. one thing that could be changed easily for quality of life would be having a "delete save data" button in the hold menu.

A great emulator and the number one choice for android devices wanting a stand-alone player. There are teething problems, though, while the vast majority of games work flawlessly, some have real problems. For example, World of Goo won't play sound and has its colours showing all wrong. The save state feature will be a welcome addition when it's implemented, but at the moment, it is yet to work. Overall though, a fantastic effort, I look forward to seeing more.

It's great to see a new P8 player around (also based of FAKE-8). However, I got issues when trying to boot up a game. For the most part, the games I've tried have black screens. There's audio though which is impressive for a first build; but still unplayable for me. For now, it I will give 3 stars, but I know this player have a potential.
