Hey Chase, on the Icon can you guys run any console-based application written in Linux? I may have something you can test in a few days. Thanks for all your help.

How awesome! I saw the Icon at CSUN! I am looking into developing games and stuff for those devices so keep a watch out for that. Can you beta test and let me know if they work for you? I'll let you know when I am ready for a tester! And, those games are at http://www.freedomscientific.com under downloads then go under notetaker update and look for classic notetaker updates on that page. Once you download the setup file and extract the files somewhere, copy the bns files you want using Windisk to your unit and run them on the Braille 'N Speak.

Thanks for the tip! Yes, that is how I was running my BNS file's. I would run the Simon and Simon Seven games on my Braille 'n Speak. Do you know the URLS? Yes, the games for the pacmate omni are cool! I I'm not going to get one now, as I am happy with my stable Linux PDA that I have. Are the games on Braille Soft going to run on the Icon and Braille Plus, which I am using? I'm not sure if these games are off topic for this list or not, but they don't seem to be. This list doesn't seem to be moderated.

E.G. to run Oregon Trail type o-chord, x, run oregon trail then press e-chord. Wait a few seconds and the game will start! Also .bns files are actually external programs. Point to a bns file and press o-chord to run it. And no, Simon and the other games demonstrated on the URL you gave are NOT supported on the Braille Lite M20 due to the hardware it uses. They'll only run on classic Braille 'N Speaks and Braille Lites. Have you ever considered upgrading to the PAC Mate Omni? Check out the games they got at http://www.braillesoft.net/pacmate.htm! And for more info, you can look at http://www.pacmategear.com. HTH.----- Original Message ----- From: "Chase Crispin" <chase.crispin@xxxxxxxxx>To: "Blazie-Support@Freelists.

I unzipped all of the .bas files, but when I tried to open them, I got a ton of gibber jabber, which is extremely annoying! It is very strange. Also, those other .bns files that you could unzip always would hang on me. I would type in a filename, and it would just freeze. Just encase you are wondering, I am using a Braille Lite m20, running the last released version of firmware. Do you know anything about the Simon or simon7 games that are demonstrated on: http://www.aph.org/tech/bns_info.mp3 ? Thanks!

Hi. Do you have Windisk installed on your desktop? If you don't then BrailleSoft has it along with the other downloads you need. You need it to transfer the games from braillesoft.net to your Braille 'N Speak along with Unzip.bns. If you have more questions just ask.

Here is the question that I posted: Hello: I just subscribed to this list, so sorry if this has been covered. I have had a Braille Lite for a while, and I just received a Braille 'n Speak Scholar from the American Printing house for the blind. This is the only list that I could find for the Braille 'n Speak, Type 'n Speak, Braille Lite, and Type Lite. If there is another list, please let me know. So, I listened to the APH audio overview of the Braille 'n Speak Scholar and/or other Braille 'n Speaks, and they were talking about games called Simon, Simon 7, and Hangman. I would like to get these games for my Braille 'n Speak/Braille Lite. Where can I get these games? I have tried the games from: http://www.braillesoft.net/ and they won't install on my unit.
