Hi

Kobo noob here.

I have an elipsa 2e (firmware downgraded 4.38.21908) from which I want to remove the games: sketch pad, sudoku, unblock it, solitaire, word scramble, and sandbox.

I haven't yet needed any of the other beta features either to be honest, so if it is possible to create a patch that removes them all, rather than a select few is possible, then that would be hugely appreciated.

Is it possible to make a patch to do this?

I googled for how to remove the games manually but all replies said to use KOReader to rename files (such as solitaire.sh) in /usr/local/kobo. These files are no longer in that folder. I went to / and searched for "sudoku" and "solitaire" (ticking search subfolders) without any luck.

Perhaps I needed to look for, for instance sudoku.sh. KOReader is currently broken due to the firmware downgrade so I can't check right now.

So if it is possible to remove the beta features that would be hugely appreciated. (Please note, the threads I read after searching how to do this, ended up with lots of people derailing the threads asking why someone would want to. It is irrelevant but in order to avoid this I will say that I I end up getting completely addicted to sudoku. It is a huge distraction, hence me wanting to remove it and the other games, thanks.
