would love to see the little big adventure series on our n900 fully ported than rather using terminal. someone with talent might be able to pull it off.

it is available here and there is a preview of its coolish graphics :D

I tried to play this, but I can't seem to find the 'use'-button. The one with which you press buttons, kick the guards, jump, and so on... If anybody could enlighten me, I would be very grateful for bringing childhood memories back to life :D

how did you run it?
was it thrrough terminal?

Re: Little Big Adventure (n900)
 

Small howto:

1. Install sudo gainroot. (From app manager, I believe it is in Extras)

2. Connect via USB and copy LBA_DATA onto your device.

3. Open TERMINAL, enable root access via command "sudo gainroot" and move LBA_DATA to "/home/user" (I used MidnightCommander for this, also available in extras afaik)

4. Enable permissions (again in terminal): "chmod 777 LBA_DATA -R"

5. Go to LBA_DATA folder and launch: "./LBA"

Voila, it runs! no sound however, but maybe that's because it's just 153mb? I'm going to check the original cd for the soundfiles :)

Thanks, this is great. I'm also trying to find out what is the "use" key to hit guard, etc. Anyone know?

Re: Little Big Adventure (n900)
 

Try the a,s,d,... keys, they make different moods.

Re: Little Big Adventure (n900)
 

if i use terminal and enable permissions would my device be in harm from bricking or something?
i dont know a thing about xterminal.
p.s did you find the soundfiles?
this is really a great classical game!!
thanks!! ;)

The package is called rootsh, but you shouldn't need it at all from your description, and it's best not to do things as root unless you have to. Never copy or move things to your user directory as root. (/home/user).

So, put the data in your device in USB mass storage mode, then open an xterm window and move it to /home/user/ like this:
(Don't miss that period after the space at the end.)

Launch it
Should do it, i think.

PS The move command will complain at you (because the MyDocs directory is on a crappy FAT volume so it can be compatible with Windows and stuff), but don't mind it.

@flandry

would i need to run this sequence everytime i want to play LBA?

also is it safe to do it this way?

thanks!!

Re: Little Big Adventure (n900)
 

hey, ive done the little "how to" but im getting permission denied, even though im trying to launch it in root, not entirely sure why its beeing fussy. ill play around with it and see if it can solve it.

EDIT: also spotted a thread gives a brief "how to" on making shortcuts but it says about a application, not sure if it will work for booting from a folder.
