I just bought my Kobo Glo HD a few days ago, and I discovered some games were pre-installed in the device but not shown in the Kobo's homepage like in the Kobo previous versions, so that I searched over the net an easy way to do it.
Please accept my apologizes in case this tip has already been detailed in multiple other posts.:cool:
There is no need to be VERY geek, just download a SQL LITE browser in order to modify the .kobo\KoboReader.sqlite file.
You can display the official Kobo apps & games by following the easy steps below (credits to this site/post and even more to this one this other one which detailed the solution too).:xmas:
- start the internet browser of the Kobo at least once (to create the first entry in the db of the Kobo
- copy the file .kobo\KoboReader.sqlite with your SQLlite browser to another location (it's a backup of th DB, in case of...)
- open the file .kobo\KoboReader.sqlite with your SQLlite browser
- copy and execute the following SQL lines in your SQLlitebrowser:
Once the SQL has been processed, eject the device from the computer, unplug the cable and reboot the Kobo.
The following tiles should now be displayed in your homepage:
=> chess
=> Sudoku
=> a drawing tool
=> cards
=> a game where you have to unlock a piece of wood among other ones
Hope it will be useful for someone, at least it was for myself :2thumbsup
