Basically the game menu has a launching program with a list of games that can be launched from it (designed I'm guesing for game emulators). So if you want to launch just a game you need to trick it into opening a game file. The [ 'tux' ] part of the argument tells Freevo to look for files with the extension .tux Hope I'm right, and hope this helps Thanks, but this is exactly what I did, Anyway i've go a doubt: the file: /etc/freeov/games/tuxracer/tuxracer.tux is just an empty file, or a link to the game's executable? thanks again -- ___ Freevo-users mailing list Freevo-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freevo-users

There was a bug in the generic type between 1.8.0 and 1.8.3. I am pretty sure it was fixed by .3 but can't remember when it broke. You might try updating to 1.8.3.

[Freevo-users] Freevo-1.8.2 can't launch Generic Games
Hi all,
i've configured freevo to show the games menu and according to the
guide, i've configured freevo to launch Tuxracer (and planning to
install g-compris and the new kde4 tuberling, which are the favourite
games of my 5 years old daughter)
I've got a strange behaviour:
in local_conf.py i have:
GAMES_ITEMS = [
('Tux Racer', '/etc/freevo/games/tuxracer/',
('GENERIC', '/usr/games/bin/etracer', '', '', [ 'tux' ] ))
]
and:
htpc freevo # ls -l /etc/freevo/games/tuxracer/*
-rwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 Dec 31 16:19
/etc/freevo/games/tuxracer/tuxracer.tux
When i launch freevo, i've got the games menu, listing Tux Racer, but
when i select this item, freevo just enter in a new empty directory
(This directory ie empty), without running the game.
the main.log doesn't not show any error or warning about the non-launch
of the game.
Really do't know how to handle this, after one day of tweaking with
freevo configuration
