Forma Tried to get PB chess

Scaledish · 03-18-2020, 03:08 PM

so, my kobo just came! after poking around a bit, I chose to get pbchess. it was going smoothly, got launcher.png, but then after I moved over the other files it froze and than updated. after the update... launcher.png still only opens a image, but now I have 12 pages of stuff for pb chess UI. somthing went wrong. what did I do? (assuming root folder is .kobo).
if I did something wrong, what? also, how can I delete all the stuff?

It Could be that PB Chess is not compatible with 4.20.14622.

Just curious as to why you are instantly going to miss / alternative readers. Why not just experience the device as sold and only after a bit try other options out?

I love messing with things. it's bad, I know. also, that way, I can get more freedom at the start to see the devices full potential. thanks to this mishap, I learned that nickel is a good os, and the one I will be sticking with. why not just get that out of the way
