Re: Command and Conquer - Red Alert - 1
 

Just a dumb question, but has this project died? The last update was from early 2008. I'm hoping that more work can be done on this, and that the release of RA1 for free hasn't killed the project. If the original developer has dropped it, could someone consider restarting it? I'd love to see this get finished, as I love the original game.

On a side note, EA changed their site, so you gotta do some google diving to find the page again that has the free RA iso's on it.

linman doesn't show up here anymore, so probably. I think I have the modified sources here if someone wants to start from there. I also have access to the garage project so I can upload them.

Ah, bummer. Yeah, it'd be awesome if he were to continue working on this. I was really looking forward to that. :(

working on my N900

Re: Command and Conquer - Red Alert - 1
 

Are the instructions form the first post still working?

Re: Command and Conquer - Red Alert - 1
 

Tell us how'd u do it :)

Re: Command and Conquer - Red Alert - 1
 

1) Download these files, from first post:
freera-bin 0.1-2
freera-data.tgz

!) Wait for download to complete (again thumb twidling applicable depending on your connection).
MAKE SURE THE DOWNLOAD COMPLETES PROPERLY. If you wait too long or there's a problem and you only get half the file, it WON'T WORK.

2) Become root - Launch X-Terminal on your N900 and type in:
sudo gainroot
this command required "rootsh" package (install with app manager)

3) Install freera-bin-0.1-2_armel.deb on N900:
dpkg -i freera-bin-0.1-2_armel.deb
will copy freera-bin-0.1-2_armel.deb file to your N900 :D (mass storage mode, or scp client)

4) When asked where to install, choose "Root"

5) It will come up and say that it's installed successfully. If you get an error or it says failed, check your tablet for enough free space on root (df command) (needs a few MBs)

6) make freera directory in /home/
mkdir /home/freera

7) Symlink /home/freera to /usr/share/games/freera
ln -s /home/freera /usr/share/games/freera

8) Copy ra3_1.12.game and data directory from freera-data.tgz to /home/freera

9) Gain Permissions:
chmod +x /home/freera/freera

10) Start game
/home/freera/freera -w 800 -h 480 -fullscreen
