Fake-08 is a homebrew PICO-8 emulator, the latest release is available for Nintendo 3DS, Sony PS Vita, Nintendo Wii U, the Miyoo CFW for Bittboy and similar consoles, and the Miyoo Mini.
Originally created by Lexaloffle Software, PICO-8 is a virtual machine and game engine. It is designed to be a fantasy video game console that mimics the limited graphical and sound capabilities of 8-bit systems of the 1980s. The goal of this is to spur one's creativity and ingenuity in producing games, and avoid being overwhelmed with the many possibilities of modern tools and machines. Such a design also allows PICO-8 games to have a familiar look and feel.
