Frozen Bubbles game only works in some Puppies

#31 Post by Sky Aisling »

Yes! Frozen Bubble now works on Tahrpup 602 PAE with driver updates and 603 service pack.

Now, anyone walking by my house late at night will notice a flickering light on in the living room.
They'll see a 75 year old kid hunched over a battered old keyboard transfixed with little colored balls ricocheting off the walls.

Thank you, 666Philb!

I see on the ibiblio list that there is a Tahrpup 605?

Bubbles v 1.02a, by ulis

#32 Post by kjdixo »

I have had this working for a week or so.
Bubbles v 1.02a, by ulis
in my quirky puppy tahr 6.05
I booted to an old puppy 3.01 disc that I made on 27.07.2008.
I searched the booted 3.01 file system for filenames containing 'bubbles' as a kind of first attempt at moving it over to my newer 2016 quirky distro.
I found bubbles.tcl and looked at the code for clues.
From that I deduced that I would require tcl and tk installed in quirky, which I did.
tcl_8.6 and tk_8.6 (also wish is installed).
As an extra I put the orange bubble icon bubbles.tcl.xpm in usr/share/icons for my desktop shortcut. Then copied bubbles.tcl from 3.01 to quirky.
To my surprise and delight, it worked.

I also copied from 3.01
/root/.Bubbles1.Parameters
which contains the configuration settings
set ::Level novice
set ::Size 40
set ::Speed 1

note
I placed bubbles.tcl in the folder /usr/bin/ though it works in other locations.

I set file permissions as required (I usually set them to the minimum for it to work)

Hi 666philb,

I need a little help with the installation of Frozen-Bubble on an HP HDX 18 64bit PAE machine.
I'm running Tahrpup 6.05 from Live CD.
I've had no trouble installing Frozen via Tahrpup to other machines using your directions.

However, the message from this machine says failure is due to 'wrong ELF64 class'.
See screenshots for source of download, error message and machine cpu-info.

Is there a simple fix for this issue?

Thank you for any assistance.

PS - Thanks kjdixo for the success story with 'bubbles'.

EDIT: Issue Solved

The machine is 64 bit PAE
I downloaded tahr.6.0.5_PAE.iso (how to tell if 64 or 32 bit version?)
Because the machine is 64 bit I downloaded devx-tahr64_6.0.5.sfs
The correct devx to run Frozen-Bubble is devx_tahr_6.0.5.sfs

Frozen Bubble - how to execute in Stretch_7.5.sfs? [SOLVED]

#36 Post by Sky Aisling »

Hello,

Where do I find the missing file to execute Frozen Bubble in Puppy_Stretch_7.5.sfs?

Is it a Devx? I used to find Devx in Quick Pet but there doesn't seem to be a Quick Pet in Puppy-Stretch 7.5.sfs?

The machine is a HP Pavilion dm1 with 4gigs of RAM.

Thank you in advance for your help.

Sky Aisling,

The devx for Dpup Stretch 7.5 is available in the first post of the Stretch thread.

Devx uploaded and installed perfectly.
All is well with Frozen Bubble on Puppy-Stretch-7.05.sfs.
:D
