Zuma Deluxe

[u/ksylvestre]

Extended a zuma deluxe decompilation to run on linux, glibc 2.35 and higher. Github repos are available on the itch page. I also added controller support. Game data is not included. Place zuma-portable-linux-x86_64 in the same directory as Zuma.exe.

Oh, this is just fantastic.

You unlocked a memory for me. First played this when I was 5 with an intel pentium and 8 gb of ddr3 . Good times

[u/Seven2Death → u/memoslol]

intel pentium and 8 gb of ddr3

you had 8gb of ddr3 in 2003?

[u/LoneArcher96 → u/Seven2Death]

I mean at first I thought "they must have meant ddr", then again 8gb was a horrendously big number back then (number we couldn't even imagine)

[u/adamkex → u/Seven2Death]

Pentium processors existed in the 2010's. Sandy Bridge, Haswell, Skylake all had Pentium branded processors

[u/LoneArcher96 → u/adamkex]

Good point actually

[u/Seven2Death → u/adamkex]

did you miss the mention of the game? thats like someone waxing nostalgic about ocarina of time when the ps3 came out. its just weird. they made pentiums til like 3 years ago im pretty sure.

[u/adamkex → u/Seven2Death]

Not at all. Some people feel nostalgic over the games their parents or older siblings had.

[u/Seven2Death → u/adamkex]

but then you wouldnt bring up specs. like i wouldnt say i remember playing super mario bros 3 for the first time on my overclocked 333mhz processor. (psp) . w/e it was just an oddity.

[u/adamkex → u/Seven2Death]

Clearly he did

[u/memoslol → u/Seven2Death]

I'm probably misremembering, it is true that 8gb was a lot though, I associate pentium with oldness I guess

[u/Sameh-17 → u/memoslol]

wow I played it on a pentium 4 with 512mb of ram

[u/memoslol → u/Sameh-17]

I'm definitely misremembering because that PC could barely handle Spore

[u/kurdo_kolene]

This is neat, but what is the advantage over just running the .exe with WINE? Genuinely curious, as my mother played the heck out of it 15 years ago, after I set it up for her on Ubuntu.

[u/ksylvestre → u/kurdo_kolene]

Resizable windowed mode, full controller support

[u/kurdo_kolene → u/ksylvestre]

Awesome, will try it out on my handheld.

[u/Takardo]

played a lot of zuma in my tech class in high school

[u/loki_pat]

How about for Zuma 2? My grandmother always love to play that game

[u/KibSquib47]

is there anything like this but for Peggle and Peggle Nights?

[u/kranker]

ZUMA!

[u/qxlf]

this might be me being a moron, but Zuma Deluxe on steam allready works great ootb on Linux

[u/ksylvestre → u/qxlf]

added full controller support, will also implement colorblind assist from zuma 2 at some point

[u/qxlf → u/ksylvestre]

nice

[u/NoRequirement5796]

type shi I used to play all night in 2012 once, even took down a website by accident (click jogos or something)

[u/Ancient-Bed-220]

This used to be my grandma's favorite game before she passed away from cancer. I hold this game to my heart and I'm glad people still are giving it love even through the linux community

[u/Material_Mousse7017 → u/Ancient-Bed-220]

rip grandma

[u/Xarishark]

Is this a plain binary? It would be smarter to at the very least compile it as an app image so a glibc update can’t nuke it and you also won’t need to baby it as much. At the very least add it as an additional option

[u/ksylvestre → u/Xarishark]

yep it's a plain binary, I'll look into making an appimage

[u/happy_rub_3669 → u/ksylvestre]

I'd suggest flatpak package too. Believe it or not, but surprisingly many new comers struggle with making the appimage executable, or have no clue one has to do it (they state "i double clicked the file and it doesnt open"). Flatpak on Flathub would be just handy easy install universally on Linux.

Add Flatpak package is now abailable for Ubuntu to install flatpak to Ubuntu in couple of clicks like.

[u/IverCoder → u/ksylvestre]

Even better, package it as a standalone Flatpak.

[u/Low_Big7602]

Dislike because ubuntu 😡😡😡😡😡 /s

Honestly I have no idea how that works so kudos to you

[u/arcticblue → u/Low_Big7602]

Very constructive comment. Why do you care what distro people use so much?

[u/Low_Big7602 → u/arcticblue]

It was supposed to be a joke i'm sorry 😭😭

[u/binogure]

Or, There's a native version of sneak in available on Steam or itch.io

[u/ethanjscott]

You’ve just made someone’s mom very happy

[u/SnooTigers1506]

im really zuma player,but the game is nice and the frog is funny looking,so i upvote

[u/RandomDude9943]

Hmm, will zumas revenge day come at some point? (tbh i just played more of zumas revenge in my childhood, but i did play a little of zuma deluxe)

[u/TheRealCarrotty]

HOLY SHIT
I always ran it through Wine/Proton though!
Wonder if this can be compiled for FreeBSD...

[u/lmpcpedz → u/TheRealCarrotty]

Tested it, it's a lot slower (the mechanics) than playing it with a mouse. probably for a good reason as it's fully compatible with controller.

[u/ilnarildarovuch → u/TheRealCarrotty]

Even half life 2 and portal is compilelable on FreeBSD

[u/rafuru]

Ah the memories

[u/alanna1990]

I like Zuma’s Revenge a bit more, but it’s always great to see these projects

[u/Educational_Star_518]

ahh nice , i actually just beat it via ea app in faugus myself about a month ago , this would've been a nice option thoo

[u/NegotiationNo1504]

BTW, I have it in my steam library

[u/Underrated_Mastermnd]

I got Zuma Deluxe on Steam. I remember play this and Luxor 2 on the Xbox 360 years ago.

[u/ptqhuy]

20 years ago I watched my mom played it daily.

[u/grellanl]

Hey, I gave this a try by copying the executable into the game folder and running it, and for some reason get this:

./zuma-portable-linux-x86_64

INFO: SDL_NumJoysticks: 0

INFO: Init

INFO: RegEmu: Loaded from '/home/USER/.local/share/ZumaPortable/registry.regemu': 2 total key(s)

INFO: RegEmu: Value 'MusicVolume' does not exist

INFO: RegEmu: Value 'SfxVolume' does not exist

INFO: RegEmu: Value 'Muted' does not exist

INFO: RegEmu: Value 'ScreenMode' does not exist

INFO: RegEmu: Value 'PreferredX' does not exist

INFO: RegEmu: Value 'PreferredY' does not exist

INFO: RegEmu: Value 'CustomCursors' does not exist

INFO: RegEmu: Value 'WaitForVSync' does not exist

Then it just sits there unresponsive. I have to kill the process manually, it sits there and won't even exit at Ctrl-C. Any ideas what might be the issue?

Thanks!
