Yeah, im just as confused, what version of LBA do you guys have? Is it open source, I used to have this game ages ago but it was most definetly MS-DOS based.

I REALLY want this on my N900!

@Jayelzibub
The link for download is under the youtube video. Probably won't get packaged since it's including the data files which you should get from your own copy of LBA.

first of all, I want to apologize for giving a crappy and more importantly, possibly dangerous howto.

Second, i haven't looked at the cd for the data-files yet because i thought it more important to be able to save before I copy the contents of the cd over. Haven't managed that yet, seems unimplemented in twin-e...

Third, I'll remove the folder RIGHT NOW and try safer instruction-set by Flandry (I'm a linux-newbie myself, just followed and pasted that howto because it worked for me).

Anyway, how come it is possible to copy/paste out of MyDocs without root permission? (mindboggle fixed, just found out user's permissions are tied to 'user', thus recursive to MyDocs.. which makes more sense, seeing as it's name is 'user' )

Launch it
Code:
cd LBA_DATA
./LBA
I followed these instructions but am getting permission denied whenever I try ./LBA in x-term.

Can anyone give me a hand? Cheers

Code:
chmod +x LBA
will give LBA execute permissiom. Then
./LBA
in x-term will work.

I made a shortcut on the desktop with an icon for this game:



Here are the files: http://www.mediafire.com/file/0t42n43reeb1lsx/lba.zip

Extract the files on the root folder of your N900 (MyDocs).

Then copy/move lba.desktop to /usr/share/applications/hildon/

Code:
mv /home/user/MyDocs/lba.desktop /usr/share/applications/hildon/
After copy/move lba.png to /usr/share/icons/hicolor/scalable/hildon/

Code:
mv /home/user/MyDocs/lba.png /usr/share/icons/hicolor/scalable/hildon/
Cheers. It may require a reboot for the icon to be visible.

has anybody found out how to save a game yet?

Having to start over every time I restart LBA doesn't really invite me to relive my LBA-days...

How do I go about uninstalling LBA?

It's not in the application manager and "apt-get remove --purge LBA" doesn't work.

Can you change the keyset?

the original LBA game used to save on switching scenes, so going into another scene would save the game. If that doesn't work, maybe something is wrong with the permissions?
