I wanted to setup a few Arcade Games on my Maverick box (for the children, you know, ... :-)). I really like Frozen Bubble but I can't set the graphics preferences, choosing the graphics tab in the game just gives me a little bumping indicator telling me it's working, but nothing happens?

How to set the resolution (maybe even fullscreen?) on this game?

There does not seem to be multiple resolutions available for Frozen Bubble. Even if you use the --fullscreen switch, the resolution will not increase. Instead the game will be displayed in the same resolution on a black background.

At least I couldn't find a switch or method to change the resolution.

  • The fullscreen option works for me, but the resolution isn't any higher.

  • @DoR: Yes, that was exactly what I tried to say with the black border...let me rephrase that.

  • @Bobby, no for me there is no black border. What I meant by the same resolution is that everything is just "blown up", it fills the screen but it looks blurry.

  • @DoR: Oh, interesting. I've 2.2 here, maybe this behaviour was changed at some point?

  • @Bobby I have the same version, I don't think there is supposed to be a black background.

Ok thx everybody!

I reinstalled the game (verion 2.2) and changed the launcher to use the command

frozen-bubble --fullscreen (thx Bobby!)

and the game starts in fullscreen mode and works perfectly! (It's installing quite a few graphics related libs, so my guess is, the dependencies have been fixed.)

Thw ingame graphics settings tab doesn't have any function at least for me, so I can't switch graphics mode within the game. No big deal.

So, again, thx for answers - it's working now!

cya all, piedro
