[INDEX] GAMES LIST: list of games that work on the Pi

First and foremost, I'd just like to point out that this list is outdated and I haven't updated it in a long time - however, I intend to do a major overhaul soon. This topic is basically a (split) migration of the one on the official Raspberry Pi forums (the post is mine, just to clarify any possible ownership issues). I decided to branch it our to here as to reach a wider audience - as I think it'll appeal to people who, for example, want to make an arcade games console, or even just play games in general on their Pi. The stuff below is a jumble really, some sections have been removed if I though that they weren't totally necessary and"outside links" have been removed (not just because I am a new user, but because most were broken when brought across. yes, I know having no links is annoying, they will be (hopefully) sorted out soon enough, as this post is still a work in progress. I haven't really had too much time to perfect it before posting, but I hope it isn't too bad). Anyway, on with the post!



PREFIXES:

If the game has a *apt-get* after it, that means that it can be installed using "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install GAMENAME", replacing GAMENAME with the name of the game. The name can be found with an 'apt-cache search GAMENAME' search, using keywords. For example, for 'Flight of the Amazon Queen', you could try 'apt-cache search flight of the amazon queen', although some games may require something a bit more less wordy :). Or use a search engine like DuckDuckGo (I'm not advertising, it's just my preference :D. Plus, it looks pretty awesome with the terminal theme)

If the game has *pistore*after it, it can be downloaded/played through the PiStore.

If the game has *other* after it, a suitable link will be provided in brackets)

If the game has *PAY* after it, it means that you have to pay to buy it. If available, a price will follow in brackets.

This list needs to be CONSTANTLY UPDATED! Post more stuff, guys! I cannot keep track of everything that goes on around here! :D

Remember to post below games that work for you!

========================================



AND REMEMBER TO ADD YOUR OWN BELOW (Only if they work on a Pi :D ), and if you can, a short description to go with it. And please check to see whether the game is not already in the list first (yes, I know it's a bit of a mess).

If some of these links do not work, please inform me. :| I will try to find a suitable substitute. If you know of one yourself, then tell me! :D Thanks.

is there a list of LP Stock kernels for Xperia Z1

the xperia Z1 does not have a dedicated kernel section so i was wondering is there a list of kernels for my xperia z1 LP Stock?

google maps not showing in the app list?

just installed greenify yesterday and have been playing around with it, pleased with the results so far...but i'm trying to greenify google maps and not having much success.

i get that only the donation version (which i'm strongly considering purchasing btw, just want to do a little more tinkering before commiting) allows for greenifying system apps...so i converted maps to a user app in titanium and rebooted - but maps still isn't showing in the app analyzer for me to greenify it. am i missing something? i see tons of people saying they've greenified maps, but i can't for the life of me figure out how to do it...

also (unrelated), what does 'don't remove notifications' do? i checked it but i don't seem to get any notifications when apps are hibernated (i don't get any notifications regardless of whether it's checked or not, actually)...

Nexus 6P cases and covers list

Going to have my N6P shortly and plans to have a nice case to have it get protected,however,most are now focusing on iPhone and Galaxy Mobile covers and get few choice from SGP and Amazon, so here please share your case founding and have fun.

Status Bar in auto-end list. How can it be removed?

Somehow the Status Bar service got registered as auto-end. Task Manager shows it there but the ability to remove it is greyed out.

I have no idea how this came to be.

Several free task managers do not address the system auto-end list.

The consequence is that the status bar will not display after the phone has been inactive for 2 minutes. The battery display, time of day, wifi, and other icons normally seen on the status bar are gone.

Any way to gain access to the auto-end list and be able to edit/update it to remove Status Bar from the list?

A whole list of problems

Hi guys,

I was wondering what could be wrong with my phone:

Basically, I noticed that my battery life starting to decrease. I went ahead and invested in Anker batteries (comes with two of them) so I could basically improve my battery life.
I also had installed an app called Smart Wifi (an app that would detect the wifi's in my home and switch to the strongest/turn off when none detected) in that time period.

Now the current issues I have about a week later:
1. My wifi won't turn on. It's stuck on "turning on" but never does. I think Bluetooth is doing something similar
2. I will have a fully charged battery inside and the phone will eventually go black. I think it's still on because the phone stays warm. I can't seem to revive it. To fix it, I have to remove the battery and re-insert it.

I tried doing a factory reset and that fixed some of the slowing down problems. The black screen and wifi problem is still there. I'm not too good at this stuff, so any insight would be appreciated. I was considering rooting my phone and seeing if I could solve anything after installing a custom ROM but I wanted another pair of opinions first.

Thanks!

List of Phones which support Camera2 and DNG file support

As a photographer, the most important feature for me in an upgrade now is whether or not a device supports DNG (RAW) capture with it's camera. I also firmly support the buying of used devices to keep them out of landfills (or irresponsible recycling programs) for as long as possible.

I don't need the absolute latest gear. So I'm happy to snap up gently used.

Would those in the know kindly use this thread to begin listing any device which can support the new Camera2 Module in Android 5.x? I just want to know if the device is capable of outputting DNG files.

Thanks in advance!

How to check a large list of Indexed URL in search engine using a Java Program

Hi Guys,
I am trying to check thousands of URLs from search engine index, If they are existing or not.
