Hello there,

I was just wondering if someone is able to create a workable cab file for these dumped ROM files. I could not find any cabs already created.


Thanks so much for your time!!

Do those include the depended-upon files like the dlls and lnks? If not there's no point cabbing them up. It looks like they might just be the exe files for the games.

Funnily enough I was thinking of creating a cab for those games at some point so I can pop them onto any future 'light' or 'superclean' ROMs without having to cook them in from one of the available kitchens. But I haven't created a cab before so I'd need all the files that come with, i.e. the exes and lnks and any dlls. (I think that's all they use, about 8 or 10 files between them. I 'm doing other stuff just now but if noone's posted any cabs soon I'll make one.

Anyone who can save me the bother of finding out which files I need if they already know them (and even attaching them) would help of course!

Cheers fella.

Dunno why but the exe and one dll in there are zero-byte files for some reason, but I'll assume the list is full and get them from my own rom here.

Now we'll see how long it'll take me to learn to make cab files from a standing start. This could be either hours or days. Don't hold your breath..

Thanks chunkymonkey for your effort in creating the cabs and thanks Mike Parsons for your contribution for the files. It looks like when I dumped my original files I did not have the "hide system files information" unticked.

Your help is much appreciated.

Here's version 1.

You need to create your own shortcuts.

Solitaire works great but bubble breaker kicks an error SHCreateMenuBar Failed...Cannot open Bubble breaker resource file.

Thanks again for your efforts!

Righto. I'll let you know if I get that sorted.

vjgrace - can you (or anyone) search you PPC for softkb.dll pls?

Not inc on this Satin ROM and I don't want to have to flash a new ROM just to get the dll file and then flash back.

Ta. (Otherwise this'll have to wait for when I next do flash ROM - most likely when Faria brings new one out)

Hello chunkymonkey,

Right now I am in the process of redumping the recently released dopod wwe and hopefully it will be in there.

And here it is...


Thanks again,

Ah, no, I've got that package file, do you have the dll itself kicking about anywhere, perhaps on your ppc?

(DISREGARD above - I didn't look properly in the zip, sorry)

Try this one.

Should work and have shortcuts, but they're not correct shortcuts, i.e. going into Programs instead of Games in Start Menu. Also BubbleBreaker has no space between the words.

Sorry I can't test them for you but games are already burned into the ROM I'm using.

V3 - took the shortcuts back out and added the correct ones as a separate cab.

I need to get the shortcuts to install properly. Just needs me to work out inserting srtuff into the xml file of 'Games.cab' but not from the other one. I don't know xml as you can no doubt tell.

For now though, these 2 should make the Games folder the same as presinstalled ones, including the games folder icon for the start menu.

Uness someone who can test it tells me different.

Hello chunkymonkey,

Boy you are on the ball!! Solitaire is working like a champ but the bubble breaker still gives me the same error, it very well may be something on my end because I have installed the Dopod Lite version by edhaas (great slim version) and it is a very clean/light version may be missing some files in the ROM, I don't know.

You definitely have given me the inspiration to pursue this further, attempting to create the cabs on my own...You have created a workable game from start to finish without having created a cab before, so THANK YOU!!

On a side note, the shortcuts are not working, the game folder is created but the shortcuts are dead, but thanks anyway.

Once again..thanks for your time,
vjgrace

At first I was having this BubbleBreaker / SHCreateMenuBar failed issue only on my S01SH. None of the solutions on XDA worked.
A week ago I performed a hard reset on my first device, WS003SH, where BubbleBreaker had been working great (even after 5-6 hard resets), but not this time... I started getting the same error.
I had copied all BB associated files from the device so I thought pasting them back would sort things out, but it didn't.
What is it that happened during hard reset that killed this function?

I'm not sure what you guys are doing...So, you have a ROM that DOESN'T have Bubble Breaker??

You can re-install them here: http://thewingster.com/standardgames.aspx
