Title: games for CXXX on Qt?
Post by: vishnja on March 22, 2004, 04:54:56 pm

I know, there was a thread on this before - still I couldn\'t make gnuchess running (plus I\'m not sure how qboard would look on the C860), and I didn\'t like the small cards in the solitaire versions. I don\'t want to run the games with the magnified screen, as this would result in a reboot of the cacko rom (and I also don\'t like it that much).
I tried some other games as well (nethack wouldn\'t install, tetris looks strange with this screen) but for now I haven\'t found a game that would run on my Zaurus and look nice as well.
So what games do you play on the CXXX and Qt? I\'m interested in chess, cards, arcade, action and adventure.

cheers
Kathrin

If you do not understand German, just download
zknights-px_0.6.0_arm.ipk
there, this is the all-inclusive package.

Kathrin,
It\'s a kluge, not a fix, but I\'m able to play solitaire (JM) in magnified mode if I remember to flip the screen before I close the game. Otherwise it\'s reboot as usual!

I am using cacko 1.18 ROM on my 760 and I do not have any problems with screen flipping to magnified mode to play several games.
I have, of course only in magnified mode, solitaire, pacman, tetrix, snake, minehunt, gnuz, majongg, .... running without problems on my SL-760.
