What's wrong? I'm on the 4.20.14601 firmware

Wonder if it's got anything to do with the patches

Ripplinger · 03-09-2020, 03:44 PM

I just tried it on my Glo HD and it's working perfectly with the same firmware, and I enable quite a lot of the patches available, and have the miniclock mod installed.

Maybe it's a problem only with certain devices?

Hmm. Still exists on Original H2O with that FW, except the actual visuals and rules have changed since original version. Or it's a bit broken to move blocks. I couldn't decide.

I have the same issue on my Aura One. I have no patches installed at all.

Kobo's statement when these were enabled for the newer devices is that they might not work.

I have used it on my Libra H2O with no problems. I have tried some of the other devices with no problems, but, I don't think I have tried either the Aura ONE or Forma. Maybe it is a problem for the larger screens.

White screen on my stock Forma as well. I have a Switch (which I rarely use) so I don't need games on my ereader.

I just checked GoodeReader site. They have a video demonstrating how the games work, and their 'unblock it' was a blank screen also. They're also using the forma.

They are as timely and accurate as ever. A "secret" developer mode that we have been talking about for at least two years. And "Large Print Mode" has been there for over a year and is there without developers mode being turned on.

Damn you all for bringing this to my attention! It's working way too well on my Aura 2 with latest (patched) firmware. Up to level 20 and long past bedtime...

droopy · 03-10-2020, 12:39 PM

Guess I'll do more reading and less/no gaming. Lol

FWIW, this mod is a happy compromise. I believe you can use modern launchers to activate it with the right startup script; you don't have to use the one in the OP (er, well, it definitely still works with KSM09). However, I don't know if it has been tested/will run on modern devices/screens for the same reasons the Kobo beta games may not. Still works on my Glo HD though.

JSWolf · 03-10-2020, 02:15 PM

The game works on my H2O.

HolyAura · 03-11-2020, 07:54 AM

It also works on my Clara.

Just letting fans of unblock it know that on my Aura One, on the latest firmware (4.20.14622), the game is now working.
