It is hard to believe that the folder is not created at all. Could it possibly be that nickel deletes it before restarting the device?

Thanks for your help ! I finally got it all working; that's what I did:

The key issue is that I had to really reset to factory, but NOT the normal reset on the settings menu, but the full one: on the kobo glo hd, you achieve it by turning on the device, keeping the power button pressed while tapping repeatedly the lower left and right corners (see https://wiki.mobileread.com/wiki/Kobo_Reset:_Glo_HD)

I guess that some other things like these two I've installed caused my previous attempts to fail, and the reset option from the settings did not fixed them:

or this:

Then, I installed the full package from https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sh...d.php?t=314220 ( Plato-0.7.7_KOReader-v2019.10.zip), USING THE SCRIPT method found on post #2

Thad made koreader and plato working again...

Finally, I've installed Kobo Start Menu 09 from https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sh...d.php?t=293804, and it worked !

Then I've installed pbchess from http://www.pbchess.vlasovsoft.net/en/index.html, by copying only the vlasovsoft folder to the .adds folder, and then I can acces everything from KSM.

Note that as long as I've installed KSM, koreader and plato stopped working from the default kobo shell and must be executed from ksm. But that is expected, I think, 'cos launchers are mutually exclusive.
