Is there a detailed more description on this forum of someone installing kobo patches? I wasn't sure what a few of these steps meant. For instance:
Does this mean copying over the file to my kobo directory?
Do I need to tamper with the files inside this folder?
I have a Mac. Can I still do this? |
This is the way i do it.While im on windows, the only difference should be the final step which DNSB explained to you
1.Download the firmware version your reader is on, from
here .
Put the downloaded firmware file in /src.
If youre not on the latest version you can potentially upgrade the ereader to latest first if you prefer.
2.Open yaml files in /src folder with text editor (i prefer notepad++) and look for patches you like in libadobe/libnickel/librmdsk/nickel.yaml . Copy the name of the patch in kobopatch.yaml under the "overrides" line folowed by "yes".
My kobopatch.yaml file is in the attachment so you get the clear picture how it should look like.
3.Run kobopatch.bat (or in your case follow the instructions from @DNSB)
4.Copy "koboroot.tgz" from /out to you ereader in /.kobo . Safely eject the reader, and youre done.Takes about minute to finish after you ejected.
I think its simpler explained this way.
Edit:Step 4 in the original guide is unnecesary, unless you want to upgarde frimware to latest first.
