Icewind Dale Kindle Fire

[Powderhorn]

I've been attempting to get Icewind Dale to work on my Kindle fire for the better part of a week now, and I'm simply at a loss as to what else to try. I've got the Good Old Games copy of the game, and GemRB installed on my Kindle Fire. I've tried copying the contents of the Icewind Dale Complete folder into the I:\app-data\net.sourceforge.gemrb folder, and I've tried installing the BG2 demo (which ran fine) and then copying it over that.

 

For my game directory folder I've tried all of the following:

 

C:/mnt/sdcard/app-data/net.sourceforge.gemrb/

C:/sdcard/app-data/net.sourceforge.gemrb/

C:/app-data/net.sourceforge.gemrb/

.\

 

For the CD directories, I've tried the above and also with /Data, CD1/Data, CD2/Data, etc.

 

Nothing seems to work, yet it keeps giving me the "Change Device Configuration Error"

 

My latest .cfg can be seen here: GemRBTXT.txt

"Change Device Configuration Error" sounds like a CD drive problem.

You may also want to check your main GemRB config file: gemrb.cfg

I know nothing much about IWD, I have never played it.

This fire has windows on it? It's important what gemrb complains about, so check GemRB.log (in your supposed gamepath) or via an app (see FAQ here).

[Avenger]

Yes, we need the log to say anything about the problem.

This fire has windows on it?

 

is that even possible? anyway i doubt it; he probably copied the paths from his windows computer and that is where he is going wrong.

Alright, so, I seem to have gotten it working. The way I did it was as such:

 

I installed GemRB, and deleted GemRB out of it's folder (I:\app-data\net.sourceforge.gemrb) leaving the folder itself, but empty.

I then copied Icewind Dale's folder contents into that folder.

Then I reinstalled GemRB on my Kindle.

Then I edited the CFG to Gametype=how, and resolution to Wiidth=800 Height=600

 

The Good Old Games installation will load up the game, but show black screen, IWD cursor, and text entry box option (in the upper left), but without the intro videos. This seems to happen whether I turn the videos on or off with SkipIntroVideos=1

 

I cannot seem to get the Widescreen Mod to work on either the GOG version of the game or the standard version. When I load up the game, it crashes to "tablet-top" and alogcat tells me that the game cannot recognize a 1024x600 resolution (native Kindle Fire).

 

For now, I would be content if I could get 800x600 working without being distorted, but for some reason it is compelled into fullscreen mode, whether I set it to 1 or 0 in the cfg.

 

Still, it works.

you need to compensate for the status bar.

[Powderhorn]

How do you mean? Which status bar(s) aren't taken into account when I set my resolution, and, that said, what SHOULD I input and where to get them set for my Kindle Fire, with a native resolution of 1024x600?

[SyntaxError]

I dont have a kindle fire so i cant tell you the values. I can only tell you that you need to compensate for the status bar on the android build.

... if there is any.
