Chess for PW4

kript96 · 11-28-2018, 06:59 PM

Sorry if this isn't the right place, but i can't find where to ask about this: is there any version of chess to install on my PW4 with KUAL?i had one buggy version for my old K4 and even with the difficulty given to the absence of the touchscreen, it was fun to use it in school with my classmates

Unfortunately, at the moment (build of Nov. 23rd 2018) PW4 support seems to be buggy (see last postings in above-mentioned thread). But with all Kindles up to and including 9th generation (i.e. KT3, PW3, KOA2), everything works perfect.

And it's not free.

Yes, but only the chess and other board games in this mighty toolbox are shareware.

The main function on Kindles will often be the very, very good port of Cool Reader (which I love much more than KOReader...). And this is freeware/open source, and so are also the tiny calculator, the file manager, the notepad application and the terminal ...

BTW: Don't like the games? Just remove them from /vlasovsoft/applications.ini ASCII file, and remove also the appropriate subdirectories for each game.
