It's possible that 3.4.x firmware had an early (beta) version of Unblock It, I guess. I think Chess is still somewhere on 3.19.x, but you can't get to it. Although I think you can patch the software to find it. Have you checked into the patches on the development forum?
No, but I know a way to have Chess in 3.17.X, unfortunately not in 3.19.5761.

Okay, so here is how:

1. Downgrade to 3.4.1.

2. Open Chess at least once, so it appears on your homescreen.

3. Open other stuff as well, like Library or Storefront or Recommended Books, so that your homescreen is full, with Chess in it. This is required because if your homescreen is not full, then Kobo will frequently display stuff, like ads or recommendations on your homescreen, pushing Chess off it.

4. OK, now update to 3.17.X. Any version that is under 3.17 (preferably the latest). You cannot update to 3.19.X with Chess on your homescreen because it does not open for some reason.

5. When you have version 3.17.X with Chess on your homescreen, you are done. Now both Chess and Unblock It! will work.

I am not really familiar with patches and stuff. I only have the Night Mode hack, that's all. I don't like to mess around with the settings and files and codes and complicated stuff.

Also, sorry if I confused you with my last post (the one before this that says "Does this make any sense?" All I meant to say was what I just said about keeping Chess, but with Unblock It!.

So, does all that make sense, or should I write all that again, but simpler?



[BY THE WAY, YOU WILL HAVE TO FREQUENTLY OPEN CHESS, AT LEAST ONCE A WEEK, TO MAKE SURE IT DOES NOT DISAPPEAR OFF THE HOMESCREEN!]
