It doesn’t launch and doesn’t have an icon. Is there support code (ROM) that needs to be installed? ---

Did you follow the instructions? In the tar.gz file there is both the executable and the game data. No need to download anything more. Can you check if the executable `opentyrian` file is executable? (`chmod +x opentyrian`). For a decent icon we will have to wait for @Nielsvd if he is kind enough to provide one. Also check if you changed the paths for some reason e.g. unzipped the tar in other directory than `/home/cpi` Oh and it requires **`SDL`** to be installed (not **`SDL2`** but **`SDL`** ) `sudo apt-get install libsdl1.2-dev` ---

It worked fine for me, did you download it to the correct directory? Personally I think it makes more sense to base it in the games folder, but that’s something I can easily tweak myself. I also didn’t need to manually install SDL, just following elefas’ instructions worked fine. ---

Nice so the package is ok, thanks for verifying it. Happy shooting! 🙂 ---

Here’s two little icons, maybe there’s one of your choice 🙂 [![](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex029/uploads/clockworkpi/original/2X/4/49b4acea8601e8893a90963e943a5264ae8b8bf0.png) ](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ocr-junky/GS_Icons/Icons/Tyrian2.png) [![](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex029/uploads/clockworkpi/original/2X/e/ec04548fc59141885325eb87daa4d0bfc609f158.png) ](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ocr-junky/GS_Icons/Icons/Tyrian.png) ---

Thanks @Nielsvd !!! Once more great work! I like both but I’ll go with the second one, the “tyrian” logo although nice is hard for my eyes to read on the small GameShell screen. I will update the instructions to include downloading the icon. ---

Turns out is was a bad download of OpenTyrian.tar.gz. Deleting the original and re-downloading it fixed the problem. I also created an icon before seeing that @Nielsvd did. Here’s mine! Thanks! ![OpenTyrian](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex029/uploads/clockworkpi/original/2X/1/11d3ab8e20886d522d241d05920ebab82b869678.jpeg)
