I guess the old version in TCL repository needs to be updated.

From the error message, it look like either the locale you are using is not supported or you need to set a locale?

Edit: It seems to work without any locale set, i.e. using the default C locale.

I see that on the current page (new version) it supports my local language

Turkish

please update the version in the minigalaxy.tcz app library?!

You will need to send a private message to the minigalaxy extension maintainer @Sashank999

Hi xor

... I see that on the current page (new version) it supports my local language

Turkish ...

So does version 0.9.4 which contains  /usr/local/share/minigalaxy/translations/tr/LC_MESSAGES/minigalaxy.mo:
http://tinycorelinux.net/12.x/x86_64/tcz/minigalaxy.tcz.list

[Juanito]

The issue might be that there are no files in /usr/local/share/locale?

I’ve used Minigalaxy on a couple of older laptops, and it’s one of those tools that “just works” without pulling in a ton of dependencies. The interface is bare-bones, but that’s exactly why I like it install, update, play, and nothing extra running in the background. It handles DRM-free titles really well, and I’ve rarely had issues with downloads or launching games, even on lightweight distros.
If you mainly stick to GOG and don’t need all the Galaxy features, it’s honestly a solid choice. The only thing to keep in mind is that some games still need manual tweaks, but that comes with Linux gaming in general.

[Juanito]

What version and what architecture of tinycore are you making the request for?

I gave minigalaxy a quick go on piCore64 - so far it needs python-requests, libnotify-gir and webkitgtk4-gir, but then it hangs because I don't have a locale set.

If you re comparing prices for games before grabbing them on GOG, sometimes it helps to check multiple sources, https://cdkeyprices.uk
 can be handy for that. It’s basically just a quick way to see where a title is cheaper.
