Lobster I downloaded the tar.gz file, clicked on worldofgoo file but It won't execute. I have bad luck running games.

Make sure you have OpenGL if required and SDL (whatever that is)
also (I am sure you know this) make the program executable (right click from rox and then permissions)

Some of the flash games can be great fun

I'll take a new look at all of that - been in and out and all around with OpenGL and SDL so am no longer certain what is and isn't present!

The only SDL package needed for mega mario is this one:
http://distro.ibiblio.org/pub/linux/dis ... -1.2.9.pet
(Right Click -> Save Link Target as...)
After installing that it should run fine. Which SDL package did you install?

SpideyLinux solved the same Mega Mario problem with installing additional SDL libraries, see here

Anyone tried the many games posted here under 4.2?

Just upgraded two laptops and a desktop from 4.12 to 4.2

OK, the children have a more specific immediate request - SuperTux.

I have at least 4 versions - which would be best to install under 4.2, please?

supertux-0.1.3-i486-1.tgz
supertux-0.1.3.x86.package...
supertux-0.3.0-nogl-0.1.4502.x86.package...
SuperTux.pet

The laptop I'd most like it to run on is an old Panasonic Toughbook CF-27 which is WAAAY faster under 4.2 but hs limited resources: mobile Pentium MMX (System Info says 265.27MHz 531.16 BogoMips), 158MB ram

SuperTux.pet should work if you have SDL installed
Ver, 0.3 is developmental still, I did manage to run 0.3.1 from debian packages, but it needed lots of dependencies. Still, once installed it worked smooth.

I have 5 SDL's.

One includes the word "image" in the name, two include "mixer" in the names.

There is one simple SDL.pet, is that the one I should use?

dejan555 · #170 Post by **dejan555** » Wed 08 Apr 2009, 19:56

I use this one:
SDL-1.2.9.pet

edoc · #171 Post by **edoc** » Wed 08 Apr 2009, 20:09

OK, now I will have 6 of them!

Thanks, will grab that and give it and the SuperTux.pet a try together.

It worked! Thanks!

"OpenGL not supported" so no sound ...

Fine with me as it gets old real fast but if they put on headphones they prefer the sounds.

dejan555 · #173 Post by **dejan555** » Thu 09 Apr 2009, 05:45

You should have sound I think, check if you can turn it on in options.

Our youngest is asking for SuperTux 2, he says it is a lot more fun (he has played it online), is that available?

edoc · #175 Post by **edoc** » Thu 09 Apr 2009, 14:23

The "opengl" error came up in Options - the Sound icon is greyed-out and unavailable due to that problem.

dejan555 · #176 Post by **dejan555** » Thu 09 Apr 2009, 14:54

For opengl you need to install xorg dri from petget manager, and for supertux 2, well, I managed to run it on puppy from converted debian packages, but it had many dependencies, if I manage to pack all in sfs or couple or dotpets and upload it I'll post it here but I don't promise anything

edoc · #177 Post by **edoc** » Fri 10 Apr 2009, 17:47

PETget package manager kept freezing my old Panasonic Toughbook CF-27 so I went to a network cable.

Got into PETget but there is no listing that begins with xorg or dri

??

dejan555 · #178 Post by **dejan555** » Fri 10 Apr 2009, 18:05

must be at the very end of the list
xorg_xorg_full_dri-7.3
or here's direct link:
xorg dri for puppy 4.x

edoc · #179 Post by **edoc** » Fri 10 Apr 2009, 18:10

Nope, it is not in there in the Puppy 4 area - perhaps it needs to be added?

Thanks for the direct link!

edoc · #180 Post by **edoc** » Fri 10 Apr 2009, 21:32

All sorts of hassle for some reason trying to get this xorg dri loaded but finally succeeded.

Just tried it and no impact on the opengl error message in Options is the same.

Then I rebooted and now am stuck in an xorg loop - cannot get into x.

Seems that the xorg dri app broke my xorg install in 4.2
