Installing games

[axzr]

Is there something I need to do before I can install games from here
"http://downloads.maemo.org/" ?

[Tabster]

it would depend on the different games. Is there one that doesn't work for you?

[axzr]

Yeah, specifically I was trying to install Icebreaker.

I also had problems.

Look at this thread: http://www.internettablettalk.com/forums/showthread.php?t=5290&highlight=icebreaker
post #9

basically, I had to add a repository (Application catalog) for the following
Catalog name: marcelo eduardo
Web Address: http://marceloeduardo.com/apt
Distribution: mistral
Components: games

Then I could install them from Application Manager

Interesting. I did that, and now I have a list of games to choose from, in Application Manager, to install. But they fail due to 'Application packages missing: libxau0'

[Tabster]

searching this forum for 'libxau0' I found the following post

that should help :)

Brilliant, thanks. I had read that post before but it didn't make any sense. Things are slowly starting to sink in...

(IceBreaker seems to become unresponsive as soon as I click on 'new game' but that is a separate issue...)

glad you got it working :)

yeah - it took me a while to understand how to install / find apps etc

Also, Icebreaker freezes for me also at the end of the first game. Need to close it and restart to play again.

Hmm, something tells me that ain't the way it is supposed to work...

Oh well :)

LOL I don't think so either!
