Here are is a cursory test of almost all of the activities on the OLPC Activities wiki page. All tests were done on\

All of these activities were downloaded from the wiki page. I did not test out TamTam because I couldn't figure out how to install it on the XO without an XO bundle. Berrybw 01:20, 27 March 2008 (EDT)

Which Activities Don't Work

  • OurStories v.1-beta
  • Mimic v.1
  • MaMaMedia Storybuilder v.12  :( really an awesome activity
  • Tuxpaint v.1 --> doesn't run at all
  • Schoolsplay v.0.4- runs but display screwed up, hard to read
  • MaMaMedia Creative Center v.3 - works but doesn't do __anything__
  • Kuku - doesn't run
  • Inferno - doesn't run
  • Dr. Geo II - v.104 does run but really, really slowly even once loaded
  • Watch & Listen v.10 doesn't even show an icon in the activity panel
