Sparks

Does anyone remember this game? It doesn't seem to run on my Pandora any more. I'm not sure whether it's because I upgraded to a rebirth Pandy, or if it was related to SuperZaxxon.

Does it still work for anyone else?

I just tried to run it on my 1GHz running SZ1.53 and it did not run.  I opened the launch script inside the PND and found that the nubs are being set to joystick mode improperly.  Notaz and Pickle were just discussing this yesterday in the SGX driver installation thread so I tried changing the launch script and it still did not work.  I then tried mounting the PND and running sparks.py directly and the game loads, but as soon as you choose an option, it crashes complaining about invalid joystick axes.  So then I tried loading the sparks pandora config like the launcher script does and it just complains about missing joysticks.

So it seems that it has to do with the joystick causing the crashes.  I don't know enough to make it work, though.

Thanks for trying, good to know it's not just me

I used Sparks 0.4.5.2 (published on 2013-03-13) from the repo on the latest OS on a Rebirth Pandora, and it starts and works.
