A Couple Of New Game Ports

[QJimbo]

Not to seem out of place here, but has anyone come up with some custom SDL library or something that could scale these VGA games down to 320x240 for the older Zaurii? You guys have all the fun And I want OpenTTD on my zaurus as well damn it

i'm running cacko 1.22a on c860. libsdl and libsdl-mixer are installed.

Any idea?

My turn....

I tried to run LTris on my new, and still petty much un-changed (i.e., Sharp ROM) C1000 (English conversion done by Shirtpocket).

At first I installed libSDL_1.2.6cvs-1_arm.ipk and got the max application object error noted by others. Found the libSDL_1.2.6-zports-5_arm.ipk library and installed that instead and now LTris isntead spews forth with a slew of messages too numerous to write here (there must be an easier way to dump those error messages from the Z terminal - QConsole - to my desktop).

So clearly I've got incorrect libraries still, but I am not sure what to try next. My error messages look a lot like those noted by CollieWobbles in his April 12 message (page 1 of this thread), except as I said I'm using libSDL_1.2.6-zports-5_arm.ipk now. Unlike him, for me LTris never runs - launches, spews errorrs, and exits.

Any thoughts? Thaks.

Solved my problem. Turns out I had a corrupted highscore file in /home/zaurs/.lgames/ltris.hscr Once I removed that things started to work just fine. Now I can burn battery with abandon and get absolutely nothing done.

here is my list of fix for ltris

http://www.iaccarino.de/silvio/zaurusstuff.htm
look for ltris

you will need zports sdl
download from this site zports sdl
http://webpages.charter.net/cresho/turbo-nes-snes.zip
install
libmad_0.15.0b-zports-0_arm.ipk
libSDL_1.2.6-zports-5_arm.ipk
libSDL-mixer_1.2.6-zports-0_arm.ipk

then in the console you need to do this.

Code: [Select]

su
chown -R zaurus:qpe /home/zaurus/.lgames
chmod 700 /home/zaurus/.lgames
you need to do the above or it will not work.

Few questions:
1. lgeneral seems to be memory hungry - it crashes (to be exact: it closes itself without error) a lot. Sometimes I get Low Memory warning and I have to close lgeneral. Adding swap file to SD card didn't help (it crashes but memory applet is green).

2. My "saves" doesn't seems to be saved anywhere.
Save are saved to .lgames directory (after chowning and chmoding the directory).

Thanks in advance for any help

Kind regards,
Raul
