If I don't want to install Barrage just to get the SDL files (It's not a game that looks like I'd be interested in it.) how do I know which ones to download, or should I just take them all?

This has been a lot of fun, but unfortunately some stuff in the real world (outside of the forum Smile

) has come up and I won't be able to continue maintaining this games post. Confused

Is there anyone out there that would like to take over? If anyone would, I'll email (upload, PM, whatever) you the BBcode I used to make the game entries, so basically all you have to do is post them yourself and maintain and start adding to them from there. I'll also send the template I used. Then I'll mark this post for deletion, and well, everything should be sorted. Maybe some else will "catch the vision" and list all Pup's games.

Thanks for your understanding Ttuuxxx. I guess I'll just see what happens to this post, but if someone does still want to take over, my offer is still standing.

Great selection of games. Would it be possible, particularly for the larger games to load them as a SFs file which you could include or exclude on boot up. Will it work and will it avoid stretching pupsave files? There is pet2sfs to do a conversion. Is there a pup2sfs?

Just came back from up north the island. Good to be back in the forums. Smile

Ha! I did a lengthy search and found this:

http://www.puppylinux.ca/tpp/ttuuxxx/Libs/

Went to download and the specific ones I need are all 0kb Sad

libSDL_image-1.2.so.0
libSDL_mixer-1.2.so.0
libSDL-1.2.so.0

Why would that be, please?

Anyhow, I will run the ones you have provided here and hopefully that will solve the problem. Thanks! Smile

The SuperTux PET text needs to be edited to specify these three SDL dependencies rather than the libSDL nomenclature which is confusing and will not lead one to a functional solution.

I have no idea who would do that but thought I'd put it out here in hopes that it will pop up when someone is reviewing posts re. SuperTux.

Meanwhile what you posted solved the dependency problem - SuperTux is working on my ancient CF-27 laptop!

New Challenge: I had no sound and when I opened Options it says "openGL not supported" - is that something I can fix or is it a hardware limitation, please?

Your search engine looks great! I have downloaded and loaded it - I presume that I will need to either close and re-open Seamonkey or reboot to see it?

Also, it appears from your image that it is based on Google - would it require major or minor code changes to switch the engine behind your engine to Clusty?

I have some philosophical problems with Google which they seem to exacerbate regularly. Smile
