i'll add quirky to the main post

Sorry if this is a stupid question, but how do I get this game to start? I'm using Slacko 5.3.3 and if I mount the SFS then click on the /usr/bin/hurrican file, nothing happens...

Since the SFS is mounted, just open a terminal and enter

Thanks SFR & Makoto. I didn't know about the sfs_load option until now. So I got the program to start, but although I can hear the music I just get an unmovable black X window, weird resolution, no key response and have to reboot... which is the same thing that happened when I tried to use the ZSNES emulator on Slacko (although it worked, albeit slowly, on Wary). It must be a graphics driver issue, but I couldn't be bothered looking into it now, so I'll save this game for some other time (looks good anyway ).

[Makoto]

Try the terminal for both those programs. They might mention what the issue is.

Do you have SDL installed, by the way?

[8-bit]

Failed to 640x480x16 video mode: X11 driver not configured with OpenGL

It kind of says it all and I had previously installed the SDL package.
After, I installed the Nvidia driver for my type of video card.

Also, I used SFS load on the fly to load the Hurrican SFS file.

So what am I missing here?

I think it's a JWM bug with Slacko guys. Use icewm from the repo or compile the latest JWM. I'll upload a package soon...

OR

test out the latest Slacko beta, JWM bugfixed and includes full SDL and mesa. (see the projects forum )

edit:

NOPE! JWM can't handle it, use icewm
