This is probably old news to most of you but I thought it might be worthwhile for those who are new to the Elonex experience-

you can download skytones latest goodie.If it wont start (just like in my case) because it cant find a file in /usr/share/pixmaps/  , you can locate the missing .png file in here /share/pixmaps. Copy,and restart. Most of the games are already familiar,partly because of wicknix kindness. Have fun guys!!

The link to the library patch does not seem to work, perhaps they will update it?

[Leven2e]

yeah,but I got them anyway.For SDL net/mixer/image/ttf visit wicknix's page : http://www.freeshells.ch/~wicked74/alpha400/packages/games/
The ones on skytone's website wont open,seems corrupt(ed).

first... be shure, that you downloaded and installed the lib-SDL-complex http://www.skytone.net.cn/upload_file/sofeware/lib-SDL-complex-v01.zip
AND the Gameboard http://www.skytone.net.cn/en/download_file.php?dow_id=141!

Then open the MidnightCommander and copy the "gpe-appmgr.png"-file from /share/pixmaps/ to /usr/share/pixmaps

if it's done, you can start the gameboard with "gpe-appmgr" (use gRun -Launch Application)
You can also create an link in the /etc/jwm/JWMRC to the /bin/gpe-appmgr application... that should looking like this;

...

Code: [Select]

<Program icon="game-board2.png" label="Gameboard">/bin/gpe-appmgr</Program>

for some reasons the SDL complex was not enough for me to run it successfully (using on default OS),
I have also had to install further SDL patches (SDL image,etc,I have just installed them all anyway,to make it sure). I had to transfer that file ( gpe-appmgr.png ) too.

Hey,
I installed LinCity this morning (from http://3mx.taita.co.uk/ ),but can't get it work. It flashes up (black background) for  a second and an error message comes up :"The application you start encounters an error".    I have no idea what the problem could be.
I am using the default OS on Elonex OneT+.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thank you,
Levi

I pretty sure it's Matchbox's fault. Some apps/games crash because matchbox forces apps/games to fit the screen, and some of them don't like being forced to a different window size than what was intended. Works fine on 3MX and Etch.

[Leven2e]

Isn't there a way to change the geometry or modify something ,maybe in the .desktop file?

[Karlsmith]

hey thanks for the links .I am gonna give it a try .. I'll tell you later about the games ..
