Hi there,
I was struggling with the very same problem for the past couple of nights, and just resolved it. The problem was the the save folder and it's contents are not writeable, and when you change an option, the app needs to make a change to some of the files and can't. So the solution is:

chmod -R 777 monopolyclassic/save

This will recursively give write access to everyone (i.e. user), and all works well. I've updated the Wiki (http://wiki.maemo.org/Preenv/FAQ#How...ith_an_icon.3F).

Now I'm trying to move it to MyDocs to save some space, problem is you can't change ownership in MyDocs (I think because it is NTFS fs). But I moved NFSUC in to MyDocs and game saves are working fine, so I'm hoping Monopoly will be fine too.

Cheers,

travla

EDIT: I just created symlinks to all directories under monopolyclassic, and it is working a treat - no crash on changing settings and game saves working. This saved 45mb of space, had to leave all files under monopolyclassic in /home/user/. I may have been able to create symlinks to each one of those (I saw someone had written a simple loop for this) but couldn't be bothered, only 15 mb...

Thanks man - i created the save folder and gave permissions and all is fine now.

all my games are in mydocs - these are the commands and things i'm doing to make them work (change folder names as needed):

in xterm:
for file in /home/user/MyDocs/Roms/Pre/com.gameloft.app.driver/driver/*;
do ln -s "$file" /home/user/applications/com.gameloft.app.driver/driver/;
done
copy the real exec file in the sylinked folder
chmod +x /home/user/applications/com.gameloft.app.driver/driver/driver
/opt/preenv/bin/desktopgen /home/user/applications/com.gameloft.app.driver/appinfo.json

Keyboard ?
 
Would it be possible to use the keyboard to send fake touch input for multitouch games ?

Yay! The Settlers is working now, no more crashes at the start with SDL_Quit.

How did you guys fix the Driver screen bug? I've installed libgles* but It still looks "weird", here what it looks like: http://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p...3&postcount=12

It should be possible as long as the software supports it, I'm thinking having a look at the VNC server which fakes touching and dragging. It may come down to Maemo accepting multi touch or not.

If not rapid alternating tapping might fake it as a substitute. As in every mili second emulate touching at the locations binded to the keyboard.

I wouldn't be surprised if it vfat was faster for the current use case (few, large files; fast random access device).

Until you end up with lots of files owned by root under /home/user ...

I found that maemo uses the mouse cursor for touch, and its XServer is 1.6.99 (1.7 has multicursor support). Alternation might work, but I doubt all games (if not none) would accept alternate messages :S

I've said it many times I have no idea about individual games. I cannot possibly buy them all.

(Oth I've recently bought X-Plane, precisely because someone told me it worked quite well).

I installed nfl2010 yesterday just to try it anyways in my media player all the sounds used in game appear. even though I deleted the game folders all of them, they still appear. When I try to listen to one it gives unable to find media file. Deleting them one by one takes ALOT of time. mainly because they are like 600-700 tracks.

I've tried rebooting that didnt solve it.

Any ideas?

Purge and rebuild your tracker db. Tracker config from the repos can be used to do this.

when you say "tap screen rapidly" you meet at the two points needed to be touched at teh same time right?

No. Tap at the same point 2 times, pretty fast though, like double click your mouse button. It defeats the purpose of multitouch, but let the game continue.

Re: Palm Pre gets SDL! native gaming
 
Well I tested Peenv today and was positive surprised of the result, I followed the tutorial and tested the game "Driver". It's running very smooth without any issues at 30fps+ on my N900 with 900MHz OC.

Then I noticed that my application folder had quite less space left, so I moved the "audio" and "levels" folder to my home directory and made a symbolic link. The size decreased from 378MB to 62MB on the application partition.

So what I want to say is, good work :)

Edit:

I tested now also "Let's Golf" and "Ashpalt5", the Golf game is working just fine but Asphalt5 (1.0.3) is very unstable and laggy, not playable at all (Yes, I made all syslinks)

Edit_2:

The movies in "Let's Golf" are working just fine :o Moving the lev/tex.pkg to save space works also fine with a syslink.

Delete the game
Use the same steps you used earlier to install old Asphalt.
then do this

Everything is available in the wiki :)
