Hi All,

Do you still know the old pinball game from the Microsoft Windows Plus! package for Windows 95? It was also available for Windows NT4, Windows 2000, and for Windows XP.
This game was decompiled and rewritten for Windows, Linux, macOS, PS Vita, Nintendo Switch, webOS TV, Nintendo Wii, Nintendo Wii U, and for Nintendo 3DS. It works also on Wine.

Fortunately I was able to backport some big endian patches from the Wii U port to the official port and after that I was able to compile it for Linux PowerPC.

Download: space-cadet-pinball-2.0-linux.powerpc.tar.gz

You can start it with ./SpaceCadetPinball in the bin folder. The patched source code is included in this package.

You need a new Linux distribution like Fienix, MintPPC and Void for playing this game. It doesn"t work on old Linux distributions like ubuntu MATE 16.04.



Have a lot of fun with Space Cadet Pinball!

Cheers,
Christian

This ported Linux version is really better than the old Windows version because it can scale to larger screen sizes, it uses linear filtering for textures, and has faster frame rates.

Space Cadet Pinball doesn't play music on Void PPC

Solution: You need the package "soundfont-fluid" for the music (MIDI files).
After that you need to create a symbolic link:
