How to put a song from bebop in your Pico-8 catridge


In this video you can see all the steps for saving a bebop song into your Pico-8 cartridge. The steps are really simple:

  1. Open bebop, Pico-8, and a text editor.
  2. Generate a new song in bebop.
  3. Click on download pico-8 button.
  4. Select where do you want to save the txt file.
  5. Open the txt file in the text editor.
  6. Copy the Pico-8 function contained in the txt into the pico-8 code editor.
  7. Run the function in Pico-8 (bebop()). Optionally you can pass as argument the number 2 (to save the pattern of the song starting on the 32 slot). The drum, bass, chord and lead sequences are saved starting on the 32 slot of sfx, so you have free all the other slots for the design of your game. Take this into account as the data already present there will be overwritten.
  8. You can delete the function after you run it. The song will be saved permanently in the cartridge.
  9. Enjoy! Music really gives a game a more polished look!
