Syobon Action

Syobon Action (also known as Cat Mario or Neko Mario) is a platform game with a similar gameplay experience as Super Mario Bros, except it’s more difficult and was written by a psychopath.

We improved the SDL version and made a Windows port.

Notable changes (see the README.txt in the archive)

  • fullscreen mode
  • improved sound quality
  • english translation
  • joystick support
  • bug fixes

Downloads:

Syobon Action for Windows (if you get a DLL error you need to install the VC2010 redistributables). Was tested on Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7 and Windows 10.

Syobon Action for Linux/BSD/Unix (contains the source code, you need sdl, sdl_image, sdl_gfx, sdl_mixer and sdl_ttf to build it). If you want to help building distro specific packages (eg. deb) feel free to provide them. Many thanks to Christian Birchinger for testing and improving the build.

Dell Inspiron 9400 ATI x1400 driver

Update: this driver is reported to work under Windows 10

Since Dell is unable to provide a recent Catalyst release for its Dell Inspiron 9400 for Vista or Windows 7 and explicitly forbids ATI from distributing one, here it is.

Download Catalyst 8.12 for Inspiron 9400 (32-bit)

Note: The Inspiron 9400 is also known as Inspiron E1705 in some countries.

Catalyst 10.2 has a bug related to laptop panel scaling which is why I’m providing 8.12.
