After some more investigating I found that the Java Web Start used to launch the JNLP file launches from /mnt/utmp/java/openjdk/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk/jre/bin/javaws. I thought the Java Installer from the Java PND installed Oracle Java 7? Could outdated Java be the culprit here...

Also, this game is free-to-play, so if you'd like to try the steps yourself, it's easy. Just go to wurmonline.com and click Play. It will download the JNLP file. Stick it somewhere and use javaws (Java Web Start) to launch it.

Hello! So I'm trying to get this game Wurm Online going on my Pandora. It's a java game. The graphics are definitely too much for the old Pandy but there's a neat config option "world_render=false" that removes all the graphics and just leaves the UI. This would allow me to log into my...

Hello, any chance you can give the free-to-play game Wurm Online a try? I made a thread about it before but it didn't really go anywhere. I was just hoping someone could try it. It may sound stupid, but at this point Wurm Online is the only game I still play at all anymore. If WO works on...

Interesting. Makes sense, Notch (Minecraft creator) was the co-creator of Wurm Online before he left to make Minecraft on his own. In fact I pretty much consider Wurm Online to be Minecraft for adults with ample patience. There is no deeper sandbox. Anyway I was kind of hoping someone with a...

It runs on Windows and Linux, using Java. It uses LWJGL for the graphics which is why I'm worried it might not work on a Pyra. PS4? I believe you are thinking of a different game. I'm talking about https://www.wurmonline.com/ Sorry for the gravedig, I forgot about this thread but still...

I had to read this twice because I was distracted the first time, but I'm glad I did. Thank you for this fascinating post!

All the links are dead. The ones in the wiki, too. :(

Hello, I'm just wondering if it's possible to play a java game called Wurm Online on the Pyra. I've been playing this game for years and it can run on a pretty low-spec PC and thanks to java works great on Linux. I don't know if it works on ARM though, any chance someone else does? It's a...

I've been using Gentoo on all of my computers (except Pandora and Rpi2) for over 10 years and highly recommend it. It's a lot like Arch except that by default it compiles everything it can from source, automatically. The Portage package manager is utter brilliance and my favorite feature of...

I would say porting Freelancer would make you my hero, but you are already my hero. Please port it anyway! Lol, this is one of my all-time favorite games, along with Diablo 2, and if I could get both working on my Pandora my life will be almost complete!! Though they say "tech demo" so I'm...

Whoa, Freelancer on my Pandora would be a dream come true!! Unfortunately, that github project hasn't been updated in awhile, and the OpenGL3.1 parts might be tough to convert to GLES.

Then I am also excited for the first SoC upgrade, if it supports full OpenGL 3.0! I mean we can do a LOT with GLES and that compatibility layer we use on so many Pandora games, but real full OpenGL 3.0 would enable so much more. Anyway I'm mostly excited just to finally turn the two computers...

Awesome news!! I can't wait! So I saw the specs for the possible upgrade SoC and noticed the OpenGL 3.0 support. Does the OMAP5 in the Pyra have native support for full OpenGL 3.0? If not I'll be getting that upgrade as soon as it's available. But if the OMAP5's GPU already supports OpenGL...

If you want to go back to buying an entirely new device just to upgrade the SoC, go ahead. Me, I'll stick with the Pyra, and in a (hopefully) short time, I'll upgrade the SoC on the cheap and it'll be even better. The Pyra was never designed to play recent triple-A Windows games. The GPD Win...

I'm running a Pentium D with an ancient graphics card. A GPD Win would be a significant upgrade.

It would certainly have to throttle in high-spec games, but for small 15-20 minute game sessions it could still work pretty well. For ARM the current SoC in the Pyra is enough for pretty much anything I can think of doing on it, however. The only games I am interested in that require a beefier...

As much as I like ARM, I'm honestly hoping for an x86 SoC with the first Pyra upgrade. I think it will sell better in general, give more variety, and work a bit better as a Desktop replacement. Obviously things like heat have to be tested and taken into consideration, since the Pyra has no...

I was not describing opening a terminal and using the console package manager, but rather the GUI. Debian comes with a graphical package manager that does include screenshots and the rest. As for dependencies, it's been a couple of decades since I've had a package manager fail to resolve...

In my experience, people learning to use a computer for the first time have an easier time with Linux by far. As an example, look at the process of installing something basic, like a free program that can make a CD. On Windows, you open a web browser, go to a search engine, search for what...
