Title: Eon Games On Oz 3.5.2
Post by: fobsta on December 21, 2004, 02:05:42 pm

Hi

Really enjoying OZ 3.5.2

But I can't get some of my old Eon games to work.

I've run the the compatibility program on my tck editor and thats fine

But I can't run the compatibility program on the Eon Config because it's in the settings tab which isn't available as a drop down option.

I can run the compatibility program on the bust em demo and this runs but the screen is blank! Strategic Assault won't start at all.

So how do I run the compatibility program on Eon Config which is in the setting tab?

thanks in advance

Try going to the terminal and doing

Code: [Select]

makecompat /pathtotheprogram
Hope it helps

I don't think you need to link libraries.  Try linking the symlink instead of the file in the ram

Code: [Select]

makecompat /mnt/ram/opt/QtPalmtop/bin/eonconfigTo unlink it

Then

Code: [Select]

makecompat /opt/QtPalmtop/bin/eonconfig
I don't know if it will make a differance but I seem to remember haveing to do this for something...

If that does not work try running it from the terminal and look for errors

Code: [Select]

/opt/QtPalmtop/bin/eonconfig

Good luck, but I was never able to get the older EON games working in 3.5.1.

I believe Snails Demo does work, and I was messing around with the files in that for while.

Strategic Assault always came up with a white screen for me, requiring a hard boot.

I got the eonconfig to work but as you said MrSquishy, Strategic Assualt is a nice white screen with some text at the top.  I am able to exit by pressing cancel twice though.  Does anyone by chance know what qcop does?  I am getting a "undefined symbol _ZN5QChar4nullE" error in the terminal after the program closes.

I've tried what you suggested and no luck  

running eon config from the command results in 'eon config' printing continuously.

if I tap the eon config icon - it will appear on the taskbar but that's it - no window or options

I've mailed support at Eon Games. We can hope!  

thanks everyone

I believe that happens when something goes screwy with ozcompat.

Eon config (fresh install) fired up without compat libs on 3.5.1.

Motocross demo is kinda loading, but it looks like there is a problem with libSDL as it is all grey boxes and black screens.

Best of luck getting any help from Eon Games.  I thought they closed doors a while ago.
You can still buy games, as it is all automated, but I dont know what kind of support they still offer.

Too bad too.  I was looking forward to more ported Xen Games.
