This is a TIC-80 compatiblity layer made for the Homegirl Fantasy Console.
This is still missing several important functions, but some very basic games should run already. Right now, you cannot load .tic files directly. This means you will have to manually extract the code, spritesheet and map from the program you want to try to run. Keep in mind things like sound or music are not possible yet.
