itch.io

Yes, that would be the one! I'm glad you've already found it! Thank you and I love the game

So, given the nature of the game and how it and the subject matter tends to play with the fourth wall, I have to ask...if one of the files consistently crashes my Playdate, is that...expected?

France Horn is easily among the top five France Horn simulators for the Playdate console, and well worth your time. It opens up the possibility of bringing more instruments to a wide audience such as the Tromboon and the Badgermin!

Yeah, this is at least part of the problem. The bundle that Itch downloads appears to be corrupt beyond that, but with the manual download of the .rar, I was able to replace the JRE in the bundle with  a JRE download from https://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/jre8-downloads-2133155....  and it ran

I've never successfully run the game on macOS. From the smattering of reports here (including my own), I *think* the issue is that  the JRE lib folder is incomplete or incorrectly set up.

Popping this out so it's not a reply to a 288 day old thread. :-)

I'm seeing a code 1 error on macOS (High Sierra), with this in the log:

[launch/native] err: dlopen(jre/lib/jli/libjli.dylib, 1): image not found

[launch/native] err: Error: failed to load VM runtime library!

don't know if this is what the OP saw. but I'm seeing a code 1 error as well, with this in the log:

[launch/native] err: dlopen(jre/lib/jli/libjli.dylib, 1): image not found

[launch/native] err: Error: failed to load VM runtime library!
