Yep - works just fine. Obviously though if you use up all your nitdroid disk then you cant install stuff when booted into android. ":)

i run the chmod -rwx sims and create the desktop icon but after the EA logo came out it close the program.

Re: Palm Pre gets SDL! native gaming
 

once you have the full set (all three house for example), click on them and it will zoom in. Once zoomed in, it will show House button and Delete button in front of every home

cheers mate

Re: Palm Pre gets SDL! native gaming
 

first queston:

can somebody tell me how to save? :)
when i terminate the game via power button and "end current task" the game won't save :(

second question:
the mp3-files and videos are now in my media player! how do i remove them from the default media player? :confused:

Re: Palm Pre gets SDL! native gaming
 

Stupid question I guess... but what is the "normal" way to exit one of these games... like NFSu ? :-)

Re: Palm Pre gets SDL! native gaming
 

lol good question actually. I asked myself the same question. All i am doing is put it back to main menu and Ctrl+Esc to be in the dashboard and kill it

Re: Palm Pre gets SDL! native gaming
 

/home/opt = (part of) eMMC :rolleyes:

Anyway, it has already been described in this very thread how to setup a loopback file, which then can be placed in the MyDocs folder so the games won't take up your precious home partition space.

You can also repartition the flash, though this isn't what the common user wants to do.

Re: Palm Pre gets SDL! native gaming
 

Right, but maybe this is why it doesn't save state ?...

Re: Palm Pre gets SDL! native gaming
 

I keep getting the permission denied error with other games. Ive tried the suggested commands you have mentioned and others but still the same. I even updated libGLES and still the same thing.
Any idea why the other games such as assassins creed etc wont work?
Nfsuc runs fine, infact ive completed the 1st few races on it and unlocked a track! So that game is fine.

Please help someone :-(

Beginners Guide to Install WebOS games?
 

Hi,

Recently I have seen many videos showing N900 running webOS games. Please help :

1. What is webOS & how do we port it to N900?
2. How do we install webos games such a Need for Speed Underground to N900?

I saw a video of Need for Speed Underground being played on N900 without a single lag:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EoBe4fqL8No

Do we need to overclock N900 to play the above games.

Please clarify & help with step by step instruction on how to get this done.

Thanks.

Monopoly crashed when running it from the icon.

I made the icon: desktopgen monopolyclassic

and got the icon but whenit reached the game play area the game crashed. The game did not crash from command line.

How do i remove the icon? Where is the icon symlink installed?

Re: Palm Pre gets SDL! native gaming
 

We need to be able to play with the Keyboard or even better the PS3 controller. Is there a future plan for Keyboard usage? We don't have multi touch!!!! we can't play multi touch games

Re: Palm Pre gets SDL! native gaming
 

Can please some really help by giving step by step instructions on how to install webos to N900 & most importantly how to install NFS Underground of webos version to N900. Thanks.

Re: Palm Pre gets SDL! native gaming
 

Your not installing WebOS to your n900. Your running WebOS games on Maemo. Check out wiki for instructions.

Re: Palm Pre gets SDL! native gaming
 

Cant find the instructions anywhere?? can u pls post the links?? tnx..

Re: Palm Pre gets SDL! native gaming
 

ok ive rebooted the n900 and tried to run assassins creed from terminal again and im still getting the same error "Permission Denied" why is that happening? Am i missing something? is something locked? Do I need to update Preenv? if so then how do i? please help

Re: Palm Pre gets SDL! native gaming
 

Re: Beginners Guide to Install WebOS games
 

install preenv from terminal
Enable Extra-devel

xterminal:
root
apt-get update
apt-get install preenv

extract the webOS game.ipk and you'll get two tar files.
Control.tar.gz and Data.tar.gz,

extract Data.tar.gz and you'll get:
data.tar ->extract it and you'll get :

usr
data

Go into usr and inside you'll find an applications folder.

Copy what's inside the folder (a folder called com.ea.xx.xxx.xx or com.gameloft.xx.xxx)

create a folder called "applications" in home/user/
copy the com.xxx.xxx.xxx to your /home/usr/applications via SSH
should looks like this: home/user/applications/com.xxx.xxx..xxx

run the following command:

xterminal: root
chmod +rwx /home/user/applications/com.xxx.xxx.xx/nfsuc
preenv
desktopgen /home/user/applications/com.xxx.xxx.xx/appinfo.json


some games gamefile is located inside the folder directory:
example: com.ea.xxx.xxx/monopoly/monopolyclassic
done.
Go to appl list and you should see an icon of the game

Look for the file without extension and has the name of the game then chmod it.

Re: Beginners Guide to Install WebOS games
 

No need OC. Games run like a native Pre OS.

Re: Palm Pre gets SDL! native gaming
 

sorry for my bad english

question: if there `so easy` to run webos games on n900 maemo, there should also be a way on desktop linux systems like kubuntu and co?!

EA games, the next step for the linux desktop breakthrough ?! :D

Re: Beginners Guide to Install WebOS games
 

3) how to get these games? (legal or illegal for testing purposes of course)

Re: Palm Pre gets SDL! native gaming
 

Help! I have updated to PR1.3 and have installed PREENV (latest). Extracted Sims 3 onto my /home/user/applications folder and did the chmod +x on the sims file. when I execute it (./sims), I get an error saying "./sims: error while loading shared libraries: libpd1.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory"

NFSUC comes up with the libSDL_cinema.so error similar to Sims3.

Has anyone had this error? Thanks...

Re: Beginners Guide to Install WebOS games
 

Thanks maxximuscool..

Can you pls clarify how to:

"extract Data.tar.gz and you'll get:
data.tar ->extract it and you'll get :

usr
data

Go into usr and inside you'll find an applications folder.

Copy what's inside the folder (a folder called com.ea.xx.xxx.xx or com.gameloft.xx.xxx)

create a folder called "applications" in home/user/
copy the com.xxx.xxx.xxx to your /home/usr/applications via SSH
should looks like this: home/user/applications/com.xxx.xxx..xxx"


Pls clarify so that I can try installing it..

Thanks a ton once again..

Re: Beginners Guide to Install WebOS games
 

I think you can buy them from EA and get the installation package that you are supposed to import with Palm Suit in someway.

Else you can "root" and Palm Pre and get the files from there.

Or look for it on the dark pages of internet (I didnt say that!).

Re: Beginners Guide to Install WebOS games
 

just unzip it with 7zip or something. if you got the game file .ipk then simply right click and select 7zip (assumed you got windows) you'll get two zipped packages in tar.gz format. unzip it again using 7zip and again until no more .tar file left.

Then copy the folder call com.xxx.xxx.xx to home/user/applications (assuming you got WinSCP and SSH installed) drag the folder to your N900.

that's it.

Just do it and you'll see what i mean. Very simple and easy to do.

Re: Beginners Guide to Install WebOS games
 

Why don't you ask Mr. Google about this? I am sure he knows everything you want to know.

Re: Palm Pre gets SDL! native gaming
 

its okay i got it working, i figured it out. I don't know why none of the tutorials or people knew about it.

Re: Palm Pre gets SDL! native gaming
 

i am glad you got it working but sorry to be a heartbreaker here but it requires multitouch which n900 does not support. There is a jump in the very first level where you will get stuck

Re: Palm Pre gets SDL! native gaming
 

haha yeah i realised it. I just wanted to get it working as others had no problems. Im trying out Gangstar now.

Anyone where i can get N.O.V.A ? would like to see how that 1 is.

Re: Palm Pre gets SDL! native gaming
 

When i try to run preenv, i get following error: "sh: error while loading shared libraries: libsdl_gles-1.2.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory"
I have all the libgles-packages installed, but in usr/lib/ there are only libSDL_gles and libSDL-1.2 files...
Which package am i missing?
Edit: Seems to be fixed with reinstall of libsdl-gles1.2-1 from PR1.3-repo...

Re: Palm Pre gets SDL! native gaming
 

how do you exit games ? everytime i just press ctrl + backspace and click on the X , but isn't there any other way ?
and how can i get these games to try it ?

Re: Palm Pre gets SDL! native gaming
 

You can press the Power button and tap "End current task" to exit the game. :)

Re: Palm Pre gets SDL! native gaming
 

That seems the easiest way to exit any Maemo app that hasen't been properly hildonized (which I prefer since the upper left corner window button and upper right corner close buttons waste screen space.)

To get the games, get a WebOS device (or borrow a friend's) and BUY the game on the phone's app catalog. Then, after "rooting" the webOS device, transfer the game's .ipk file to your N900.

Re: Palm Pre gets SDL! native gaming
 

hmm i found a way to bypass the jump part in mission 1. just move forward and u should be fine. the character will 'run' through the rocks :D

Re: Palm Pre gets SDL! native gaming
 

lol ive deleted it now but i already tried that before you even mentioned it, dont work! lol Its ashame we cant play that game, it looks good as well. Kind of reminds of prince of persia a bit looking at it in that small display an graphics.

Re: Beginners Guide to Install WebOS games
 

i asked already but i wasn't lucky... i should dig more.. maybe...

Re: Palm Pre gets SDL! native gaming
 

Well i also installed Assassins creed but after i press play it shutdown
so i cant really play anyone got an idea?
Im not sure if i have to install a package

Re: Palm Pre gets SDL! native gaming
 

4 mee actually all 3d one person games like assasins ore N.O.V.A are completle useless, becouse they need multitouch to play fast.

But i think Asphalt 5 will bee interesting, but at the time it did not work :-(
Another question is.
Dos anybody know how to save in sims 3 and nfsu?
