Showing games on 4.3.8842 firmware
Is there any way to show games on the new Kobo firmware?

I have tried creating an image and setting the mimetype to application/x-games-Boggle, but it crashes.

I have tried adding tiles the same way as on the old home screen, but nothing changes.

Is there any other things I could try?

EDIT: I guess you're asking about new firmware *with* new home screen; I thought you meant the new firmware in general just based on the the thread title. Anyways, the info below is still valid for anyone using the old home screen or older versions of the firmware.


You can use the Kobo Utilities plugin in Calibre to display the game tiles on the (old) home screen (not sure if it works on the new home screen):

KoboUtilities -> Display Extras tiles on home screen

and then select the game tiles that you want to appear.

It works on 4.3.8842 on my Glo HD with the exception of Chess.

Although I keep seeing references to "rushhour" and I don't know what that is. Is it a new game??

The new home screen work differently to the tiled home screen. It doesn't display the games or the equivalent of the other tiles.

"rushour" is the key used in the database for the game "Unblock It".
