I'm setting up some Linux games in MythGame, and I thought it might be
good to share some ~/.mythtv/games.xml entries here. What are your
favorites?
Also, are there any configuration tricks? (I tried to get lsdldoom to
run, but it insists on 800x600, even though I run at 640x480, which is
the resolution I record at.)
Here are some of my entries:
<gamelist>
<game>
<name>Maelstrom</name>
<command>/usr/games/bin/Maelstrom -fullscreen</command>
<genre>Arcade</genre>
</game>
<game>
<name>lbreakout</name>
<command>/usr/games/bin/lbreakout2</command>
<genre>Arcade</genre>
</game>
<game>
<name>Toppler</name>
<command>/usr/games/bin/toppler -f</command>
<genre>Arcade</genre>
</game>
<game>
<name>Terminal</name>
<command>/home/myth/bin/twmcmd /usr/X11R6/bin/xterm +sb -sl 5000
-geometry 86x34+15+15</command>
<genre>Utilities</genre>
<year>1987</year>
</game>
</gamelist>
Note that I have a shell script to launch the xterm that first runs twm
in the background. If I don't do that, I don't get keyboard focus.
Normally I don't run a window manager, as I've had problems with xine
starting somewhere other than at +0+0, which isn't fun for watching
movies.
