I am trying to launch the Playdate Simulator on Windows 8.1 and it won't launch at all. I tried installing the C++ redistributable mentioned in the Read Me file but still no dice. I even tried downloading the Linux version and installed it on Debian 8 and it doesn't launch on the Linux side either!
I am really banging my head here, I would love to start messing around with Playdate but am thwarted at every turn. The only other mention of this issue I could find on this forum was an old thread from April but there's no solution there. Can anyone help me figure this out?
Just wondering if you might be able to help me out with a similar issue please, or if a fix was found? I've managed to get the simulator working on Linux but would like it also on my Windows 8.1 laptop and that's where I'm having trouble, any advice much appreciated!
For Windows 8.1, I get no error messages when launching the Simulator, and it does appear to start up, but only as a background process (no GUI, nothing to indicate it's accessible as an application in the usual way). I'm a bit stumped as to what's happening here, so apologies I can't give more info, but would love a steer if anyone has any ideas please?
