I got the 5.6.5 jailbreak and KUAL
I got Skipstone, Leafpad, as well as a minesweeper game to work. The following don't work: Eboard chess(returns to home) Gameboy emulator ( The one with the extra roms, it whites out, and then only shows the black bar with the time,Wifi, battery, etc.) The screensaver hack seems to work, but I can't get it to display covers of books. EDIT: The basic calculator doesn't work either Could anyone help me? I really want to play Gameboy games on the Kindle…and chess… Thanks in advance! EDIT: Screensaver hack works, needed to restart Last edited by TheFattie; 02-08-2016 at 10:53 AM. |

Regarding the screensaver hack and cover mode, did you install Python as well? Without Python there is no cover mode support.

If you didn't copy the file Update_python....bin to your mrpackages directory and run the MR package installer, then you did NOT install Python. Pick up the Python package from the snapshots thread and install it.

From the Kindle command line, the command is: dmesg > /mnt/us/somefilename.txt Also, there is a KUAL menu button to copy the kernel message buffer to a text document. Tell us (with a quote) about any 'error' or 'not found' messages. |

If you've really forgotten whether you installed python or not...
Check if /usr/bin/python2 exists, or /mnt/us/python/ |

./eboard: error while loading shared libraries: libpng12.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory Here's the calculator one: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/mnt/us/extensions/python/demos/calc.py", line 6, in <module> import gtk File "/mnt/us/extensions/python/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/gtk-2.0/gtk/__init__.py", line 40, in <module> from gtk import _gtk ImportError: libpng12.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory The ironic part is, I really want the Gameboy Emulator to work, more than the calculator or the chess program. |

Check the kTerm thread, there is a build of libpng12 and directions on what to do with it posted.
I think there is also a recent build of the calculator and chess program that fixes that error on the author's web-site. There must be another type of error in the gameboy installation. Give us a step-by-step of what you did and with what result at each step. Include links to anything you used. |

WAIT, I think...I didn't get the actual gameboy, only got the frontend. EDIT: how do you install patch files? Last edited by TheFattie; 02-09-2016 at 07:51 AM. |

I think you don't install that, that is just for technical documentation (IIRC). Bottom of that page, the fbgnuboy_loader_extensions.* (either one of them, they have the same contents) holds the KUAL button extension. = = = = The origin of the gameboy-on-Kindle story: https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=173141 Which seems to end before the work to make it work on touchscreen devices was completed. Hawhill is still here, but not interested/does not have time, to support touchscreens - TwoBob is long gone, about 18 months ago. Last edited by knc1; 02-09-2016 at 08:18 AM. |

Also the "Replace store button" in KUAL is not working for v5.7.2 firmware. They moved the store pictures to /usr/share/webkit-1.0/pillow/locales, in the assets/search_bar sub-directory under each languages, because the new pictures have word for "store" in different languages.
