Yes don't forget you need both the emulator and the data file as well.

Right I got my N800 so created a new release candidate.

Almost working ok... here it is:

https://garage.maemo.org/frs/downloa....9-3_armel.deb

This is a combined .deb with both data files (chaos strikes back and dungeon master).

It creates two entries in the Extras menu, but sadly only the "Dungeon Master" entry starts the game. I have posted to maemo developers about this issue.

If you wish to play the "Chaos Strikes Back" version, start an xterm and type

~ $ /usr/games/chaosstrikesback

I have implemented a rudimentary full screen mode thing; doesn't work brilliantly; Fanoush, if you're reading, I just implemented your suggested pretty much verbatim. Doesn't auto centre on this version!

I have also applied to get my deb uploaded to the extras repository.

Anyhow I hope to get the remaining issues sorted but until then, at least those that want an N800 csb experience have it available!

Nice job! Kudos.

Amazingly fast start-up time. Excellent game speed. Nice small install. I rate this a win.

That version for the 800 installed fine on my 770 (itos2006), and seems to run fine.
Chaos StrikesBack doesn't launch from the menu, as you said, but runs fine from shell.
Looks great!

p.s. To start Chaos, I had to type "chaos-strikes-back", so I looked at the desktop file and it had it without the "-"'s. So I edited the file and Chaos starts from the menu fine..

Hay, thanks guys for your hard work, Dungeon Master runs nicely on my N800 now

BTW, desiv, which file do I have to edit to get Chaos starting properly?

Also, I have one little bug report. Changing volume on the N800 while playing Dungeon Master crashes the OS, have to do a total reboot, otherwis the games run really nicely!

Darn it, I knew someone was going to ask that. :-) Let me find it again. :-)

OK, found it. It's:
/usr/share/applications/hildon/chaosstrikesback.desktop
(At least if I typed it right. :-)

Right new release with that .desktop item updated, thanks very much for spotting that!

Nothing changed other than that.

https://garage.maemo.org/frs/?group_id=68

I will get on with adding this to the extras repository.

It's non trivial.
