others desire to emulate it...ok. reading this bothers anyone else or am i being too sensitive?

preenv is amazing, btw.

Agreed. The Pre just happens to have very similar hardware as the N900, we could care less about WebOs. Similar hardware was the desire to emulate it, it was an opportunity. Saying "awesome power of WebOs" is a bit too biased and pointless.

Agreed, shouldn't it the other way around?
Isn't it mean that Maemo5 is a superior OS because it can almost do anything and runs anything from another OS without hesitation?
I'm sure in my own view I can see that Maemo5 is the most powerful OS and can easily do things I want it to do with simple tweaks.

Re: Palm Pre gets SDL! native gaming

I saw "Blades of Fury" in the compatibility list but I got this

Code:

PDL: Application asked for device ID, giving 0000

Any idea how to fix it?
And is there any way to exit games graciously? or do you just end task?

Re: Palm Pre gets SDL! native gaming

Wow, I'm running correctly both Brain Challenge and Need for Speed. The brain challenge runs slightly laggy compared to palm pre, sometimes (just a bit, but most minigames are reflex-based), and my N900 is clocked at 850mhz.

just my 2 cents!

Run commands that are from quoted post first. And if it still doesn't work then run the command that I wrote.

Re: Palm Pre gets SDL! native gaming

Well I don't own a Palm Pre so I guess I'm still going to be waiting patiently for NitDroid to be fully released and YES I know I can use it now but I'm not going to so don't suggest it. No scene

NITDROID will never be 100% complete.

I would absolutely disagree with this statement as you can see from the adoption rate of Palm Pre is probably not that much more than the N900. The other thing that I would mention is that the N900 does NOT emulate the Palm Pre at all. There is no levels of emulation in this at all - this is very similar to WINE for Linux - ability to run Windows Libraries in a Linux environment through an application set. Emulation is when you have different CPU types and you have to write software to convert the CPU codes around. Since its the same hardware, it is NOT emulation (just like "WINE IS NOT EMULATION")
