They run on the host computer; assets do get downloaded, however, so this might be what is failing. Check the charge is full on the cubes.

You don’t install games to the V1 cubes as such. They run on the host computer; assets do get downloaded, however, so this might be what is failing. Check the charge is full on the cubes.

I’ve picked up a set of V1 cubes (tray) and I’ve been trying to install games on them to no avail. Any time I click the “Install onto Cubes” button it starts the process but never finishes successfully. 🙁

I’ve tried clearing the cubes, updating the link firmware (it’s at 1.1.15 now, cubes all at 1.1.14) and even checked the “My cubes” page, nothing is installed yet any install attempt dies after around 25% progress. The cubes show progress: yellow highlight on the middle cube, before aborting.

Does anybody have any ideas?

If you go to the open source site for Sifteo there is an emulator

I was able to install the program, but on the file with all the games (SifteoSyncMac), I was able to move the plist file to “Preferences”, but I can’t find “Application Support/Sifteo” to put the rest of SifteoSyncMac in.

I had so much fun with Sifteo Cubes back then, and back then, I only had a limited selection of games to work with because we couldn’t install any more.

I love how you brought this back to life. Thank you so much in partaking in this amazing resurrection of a childhood toy! 😀

Quick question: in this article, it mentions I can play the games without the physical hardware. However, I can’t seem to find a way to install and play the V2 games, since I want to play Sandwich Kingdom, for example. Joyscubes had a shipping date 5 years ago for some reason and make me not want to risk wasting my money on buying something that has very few updates.

How can I install and play the .elf files on my computer? I don’t think they work on SiftRunner, do they?
