TIC-80 freezes on rainbow screen on startup

I'm using a Raspberry Pi 2B and the output is composite video. Fresh 8GB Kingston Micro SD card

Hi there, i think the current build is optimized for rpi 3. If you want i can compile it for rpi2 and give you the binaries to try out. (Ps you're using the binaries from mainstream TIC-80 right?)

I am using the build that is in TIC-80's Github. it's called tic80-baremetal:

@Kyuchumimo i've built binaries for RPi2, you can download kernel7.img here. Just place it on the sd card, delete your kernel8* and it should run. Let me know if it worked so i can update the builds

[Kyuchumimo]

Wow thank you. It already worked, just some games run slow, even the simplest

[msx80]

yeah unfortunately the RPi2 is barely able to play simplest game. RPi3 is probably the entry level, it can run a lot of games.

Sorry to necro this old thread -- but I'm wondering if you still have any working pi3 or pi4 binary or disk images you'd be willing to share. The official TIC-80 repo release builds no longer boot. I tried a fresh pi3 make and that hangs at rainbow as well.

This is a great project -- thank you for all your hard work. I just want to play with it! haha.
