confused? wanna install a game or uninstall preenv?

for those  of you who were asking about installing palm SDL games ( NFSU, SIMS, LETS GOLF ), here's a quick tuto

open up Xyerm and type :

sudo gainroot

apt-get install preenv

transfer the  relevant game folder within 'applications' folder from ur palm pre to '/home/user/applications' in your n900
( create the '/home/user/applications' folder and transfer the game folders in there )

if you only have the ipk file ( similiar to the apk files for android ), unzip with 7-zip and you should have the relevant game folders you need to transfer to your n900.

next open up xterm again and type:
sudo gainroot

preenv

( or if its still open )

cd /home/user/applications/'name of game folder'.

chmod +rwx 'name of the game' (for example, need for speed would be nfsuc)

To create a desktop icon type the added line:

desktopgen appinfo.json

then just select the icon from your normal menu like a native game/app

Note 1 : For NSFU when in car purchase/car select screen, to exit have to tap the return button multiple times like a woodpecker, must be a bug due to multi-touch reqs
Note 2 : Games I've tested

- NFSU ( works perfectly)
- SIMS ( No camera rotation due to lack of multitouch)
- LETS GOLF ( Currently testing, seems fine so far )

thanks for the list bro, take note though for item 47 ( installation of rootsh ) latest version requires you to type sudo gainroot

EDIT: Clarified instructions for transferring game folders/into relevant directory in n900.

i installed that preenv
then until here how?

( or if its still open )

cd /home/user/applications/'name of game folder'.

chmod +rwx 'name of the game' (for example, need for speed would be nfsuc)

To create a desktop icon type the added line:

desktopgen appinfo.json

then just select the icon from your normal menu like a native game/app

confused? wanna install a game or uninstall preenv?

hi bro..when i run the apt-get install preenv, i get this result
"the following packages have unmet dependencies:
preenv: Depends: libjson-glib-1.0-0 but it is not going to be installed
Depends: libsmpeg0 but it is not going to be installed.
E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt-get -f install' with no packages (or specify a solution)"

HELP ME..........

hhhmmm im getting

E: couldnt get package preenv.

any ideas what might be the problem.

where to download the games ?

TQ

make sure u connected to internet b4 run the command.

tq

create a folder in /home/user/ called applications

u need the game data files. check ur pm. after you download it, unzip with 7-zip until you have the data.tar, unzip that and then look for the folder 'com.ea.app.nfsuc.eu.en' which should have a bunch of files in it,  copy the 'com.ea.app.nfsuc.eu.en' folder and its contents to /home/user/applications/
then if ur xterminal is still open proceed to type the commands in the tuto as above. if not open xterm again type 'sudo gainroot', enter then 'preenv' then follow the tuto above.

tried again the same error appears.

is the any other repo that i i can get this preenv manually

check ur pm bro

so far cos it doesn't have a GUI its only installable via terminal. only thing i can think of is that maybe u don't have all repos activated??

@zhlly4ae i just pm'd u bro, for all those not sure what to do with the .ipk file, u need to unzip with 7-zip on ur pc.

it will give u a data.rar, unzip that u get a data.tar

unzip that and you will get a a folder 'data'

look inside that folder = data/usr/palm/applications/ 

the game data folder u need to transfer to

/home/user/applications/ in ur n900 is in there.

for those who don't understand, pls pm me. I've uploaded the data folder u need in rar format. Just unzip one time and transfer the folder to ur

/home/user/applications/  in ur n900
