Game Specific Notes

Here are notes on games. These notes are things of interest for the Stormux Game Image, and do not replace the documentation for the game itself. If you connect a screen, or an hdmi dummy, some games may run faster. Be sure to select use hdmi screen from the system menu. If you need to run games without a screen, you will need to go back and disable HDMI from the same menu. The screen is disabled by default.

Global Keybindings

• Alt+F5: Perform simple OCR. This may be a bit slow.
• Alt+Shift+F5: Interrupt speech
• Alt+Control+Backspace: Close a game if it gets stuck
• Super: Toggle Mumble voice chat transmission on or off. Notes for configuring Mumble are available in the Terminal document from the Help and Documentation menu.
• Shift+F3: Toggle recording. Records all sound, even through mic, so great for recording games with commentary. Recordings are in ~/Audio

Bokurano Daibouken

This section covers all 3 games. If you have the dict.dat file for the Bokurano Daibouken 3 English translation, you can use the upload server. Select "other" as the file type and the rest is handled automatically. The translation will be available when you next open the game. If you would rather use something like magic-wormhole, the file should be placed in the ~/Downloads directory.

I have had the readme files for each game translated to English. Hopefully the translation came out well enough to be useful.

Crazy Party

This game takes a while to load. The responsiveness when it is loaded is ok though. Because it's using nvda2speechd, sometimes messages get interrupted by the next incoming message. You can use Page Up and Page Down to review the messages. On the Raspberry Pi 400 or 500 the keys are Function+Up Arrow or Function+Down Arrow.

Periphery Synthetic EP

When this game is launched, it opens the demo on itch.io. If you log in, you can download the html5 version of the game if you have purchased it. The next time the game is launched, it will use the html5 version that was downloaded.

Scramble

When asked to initialize speech, choose no. After pressing "done" it is at the prompt for your desired username. You can type in a name, or press enter to be assigned one automatically. If the game closes, re-open it to continue.

Shadow Line

Documentation translated to English.

Side Party

The first time you launch Side Party, the itch.io page will open. Download the game, and when it has finished, close the browser. Relaunch the game and the game will be installed and opened.

The username dialog does not speak. To enter your user name, wait about thirty seconds, then type your name and press enter. The main menu should open after that. Thirty seconds is actually probably way to long, but I recommend it to be absolutely sure the game has opened.

SoundRTS

This game gets stuck when you close it. Use the Control+Alt+BackSpace shortcut to get back to the game menu.

Super Liam

This game is a little finicky. Make sure to let the intro music play, press enter, also let the L-Works presents message play and press enter when the demo starts. After that, things should be fine.

Toy Mania

When downloading the game, be sure to choose the portable Windows version.

Warsim

The game may freeze on first launch. To avoid this, press escape to refresh the game menu or restart the Pi.
