Hacks No MR Packages found

amda28 · Yesterday, 07:21 AM

I have a Kindle PW2 and used Winterbreak. Installed KUAL and MRPI. Trying to install linkss (screensaver hack in order to have currently reading book cover as screensaver) using KUAL -> Helper -> Install MR packages. But it says No MR Packages found.

Anyone else experienced this or has any clue what I can do?

I have tried so many times, and alos installing using ;log mrpi. Chatting with ChatGPT and it thinks I have a non-complete MR Installer because it doesn't contain any install.sh files.

Any guidance here please...

Did you put SS hack's bin file into "mrpackages" directory? ( = not into the root / top level of the kindle drive)

As far as I know it is no bin file but a package of .tar.xz. And yes I put that package in mrpackages folder.

You need to extract it until you get the bin

Okey. After i extract it there are a bunch of files. Should I put all of them or just try to find a bin ?

Tried this now and seems to work! Will report back if I have any other updates.
Hug thank you for helping out!

For installation you only need the bin file.
