Here is the current build tested with PW3 and firmware 5.8.1. Put the gargoyle directory contained in the zip archive in the /mnt/us/extensions directory. The garglk.ini file should be placed in the dist directory where the executable is located. A sample file is provided, should work out of the box.

Thanks, Pete330!
I can confirm it's working on my freshly jailbroken PW3.
Only:

Images(where present) show up in smaller size due to the higher resolution of PW3
After quitting a game, A further 'enter' is required to get back to the kindle main screen(wasn't required in PW1)
Keyboard seems smaller (this is the default kindle keyboard used by all apps, i suppose)

Hi,

That's just how mainline gargoyle works, too.

The keyboard look was changed in one of the more recent firmware versions.

Looking great on KV here too pete330, thanks!

The latest Gargoyle version on kindle is not able to open the TADS game/story file "ditch.gam". This is the original "Ditch Day Drifter" TADS reference game released with the first version of the TADS interpreter.
An error message saying file not in proper format is displayed, after which the kindle has to be hard rebooted to quit.

Was working ok in the previous version. Also works ok in the windows port of gargoyle.
Some bug in the latest TADS interpreter port?

nasser · 08-22-2016, 01:36 AM

Looks like I was wrong..
I tried re-installing the older version of the port.
Ditch.gam doesn't work on it too.

nasser · 08-22-2016, 05:31 AM

Sorry again!
The game file was corrupt.
Checked again with ok file. Works with both old and latest Gargoyle port version.

Here is the current build tested with PW3 and firmware 5.8.7. Incorporates @salty-horse's fix for image display problems from mainline gargoyle (e.g. Leadlight Gamma now doesn't crash anymore after initial graphics).

Hi, friends:

I'm returning to this thread after a while and I have one question: this last build of the gargoyle port is only used with the PW, or it can also be used with the kindle touch?

I'm using right now the gargoyle 0.2 made by bat in my kindle touch and it works great. But I wanted to know if the last version made by pete330 is a better option.

Thanks in advance.

Anyone get this working on the Oasis? Sounds really cool but I'm such a layperson that I kinda wait for others before I jump in..

Hi, I only own a PW3, so I can't tell you if my recent build runs on Kindle Touch. Just start the new version and see if it runs.

Some games, especially games requiring a recent TADS version, won't run with the older 0.2 version.

As long as your games seem to work & you are not interested in the added features in the new build (like tap to insert), there is no need to upgrade. But you could try running the new version nevertheless and give us feedback.

Pete

Did you give it a try and ran into problems?
