PICO8 0.1.11g and 0.1.12c skip intro patches for Linux 64-bit

README.md

Patches to skip the splashscreen and logo/version display when the PICO-8 editor starts. Intended for development purpose only.

Please check the thread: https://www.lexaloffle.com/bbs/?tid=3485. It contains instructions on how to reproduce the patch for different versions and OSes.

Download one of the patches below matching your PICO-8 version, then patch your binary.

At first I didn't manage to upload binaries as raw gists, so I pasted binary dumps instead so you could convert them back to binaries with xxd reverse dump operation xxd -r my.patch.txt > my.patch.

But I managed to upload the binaries by cloning the repo and pushing the new files back, so now both the dump and raw versions of the patches are available.
