ya but u use maemo4 and i don hv config file also what you hv...
i think this is in maemo4 only.

Re: Hacking the default Chess program
 

I think other people with a N900 got this to work as well without any problems.

All I did was change the graphic and sound files.

I'm not smart enough to do anything more than this. :(

Re: Hacking the default Chess program

Re: Hacking the default Chess program
 

is there any way i can start chess from some particular positions of pawns and stuff?and then start game from that position?

Re: Hacking the default Chess program
 

I guess you could save a game and then edit that save file, but I don't see it being worth all the trouble.

I thought lma said we got the lite version of this game and that the full one even offered online play.

It would be nice if someone were able to compile the full code to this.

If you have a N900, Chessmaster for Playstation was really good from what I remember. :)

Re: Hacking the default Chess program
 

that's great! thanks
the idea of playstation is great
i have started downloading the rom of ps thanks again!

Re: Hacking the default Chess program
 

The Playstation version had a ton of graphic and gameplay options, I'm sure you'll really like it.

You might want to edit your post though on how you're getting the game.

Sorry, I meant Chessmaster II.
