I believe that's the case with the Windows version. I have a linux cd and it has data-dirs on both so i just combined those and put them on memory card.

I have the Windows version. Take all the files that are installed on your computer in C:\Program Files\Jagged Alliance 2 Gold\Data\* (I have the gold version) and put them into /media/mmc1/ja2data/*. (This is your removable memory card in the case of the N810) It'll take about 800MB of space.

ukki, I installed the .deb using the package manager and for whatever reason all files were given to root with read-only access.

Hmm, something wrong with my install script then. Need to check. Thanks for the info.

I'm getting a Fatal Signal: Seg Fault (SDL Parachute Deployent). Any Ideas?

I'm using a new n800 with OS2008. This is the first program that's failed to run for me. Quake 2 runs perfectly.... if that matters.

Is there any testing I can do?

Oh, I got my files from here:
http://www.biggamedownloads.com/free...ance2-gold.htm

I assume the data files should be the same. Stupid EB quit carrying used PC games around town here. I tried to find a CD. No luck.

You have the full version, not trial? You have the Data-directory in /media/mmc1/ja2data -directory? You have the english version of the game? It should complain about missing files and it should work with the Gold-version too.

Can you check who owns the /home/user/.ja2-directory and the files inside it with a command 'ls -lah /home/user/.ja2' in xterm (3rd and 4th column)? They should be owned by user:users. Tell me if they arent't.

when I add "-directory" to the directories name I get this:
drwxrwxrwx 2 user root 32768 2008-02-07 10:06 DCIM

which says to me I need to change it back to ja2data/. But, I see the group is wrong. I'll fix that and report back. :-)

Thanks for the reply.

I got my hands on the Linux version, but only CD2 has a /data directory.

The first disc has /pixmaps, /tar and /unsupported

Do these need to be dumped to the memstick too? Was your CD1 different?

Ah, excuse my memory (an age thing). I did run setup.sh that installed the game. Then copied stuff from the the second cd's data dir to installed data dir and then transfered that to the device.

I finally got around to setting this up on my N800, today. It's working flawlessly, with my bt keyboard. Sweetness!

Is it possible to stretch the image to fullscreen? I bet it wouldn't look bad if you did.

I'm not having any luck, (even as root) changing the group of ja2data to "users".

I keep getting operation not permitted. Any one have any ideas?
