I just installed the newest version of the plugin (2.2) on a current version of KOReader (2026.07.1) on my Kindle Scribe (2024) with KPM. The integration into KOReader works (the menu is shown, when I try to start a game the "Recent Games" entry is updated), but then a message is shown that the plugin failed to start the VM "binary missing or not executable" (armhf/bocfel). The executable's path seems to be correct and it has the exec flag. If I try to start the executable (bocfel) directly from the command line, nothing happens, but no error either.

What can I do to fix this?

And thank you for your work, Joachim
PS: The same happens with v2.1…
