The Pico-8 is real hardware so it is limited by it's specs.



No, it's a virtual console. You might be thinking of something else. https://www.lexaloffle.com/pico-8.php


I own this:

So, it's a virtual console that's sympathetic to physical hardware. Of course this is just a tiny general purpose computer, not some custom PICO8 hardware. But the constraints of the fantasy console means that the creations will work in terms of processing, memory, resolution, input etc on something much weaker than a desktop PC.


Source? According to the Wikipedia entry it's a virtual machine designed to mimic a "fantasy video game console".
