I've still not been able to get videos to play, it's not a permissions thing, nor there non-existence as it's for several games and I've played their videos in mplayer to confirm.

Here's the output of it trying to play intro:

Same behaviour here, can't get past splash screen.

Javis/Bratag/anyone, I have read in some of our posts a reference to strace so that we can give you feedback. excuse my ignorance, but what is the process. is it something I need to run before launching a game?

Edit: The quoted poster was referring to Avatar.

Re: Preenv webOS games compatibility list

For me "Driver" and "Let's Golf" is working just fine, also with syslinks to save space :)

Though "Asphalt5 (1.0.3) is very unstable and laggy, it is crashing often ingame and is not really playable at all (Yes, I made the required syslinks).

If you do want to grab it you will have to enable the tools repo and install strace.

2. Content for driver.ini:

3. Copy it to your device, location: /etc/powervr.d/driver.ini
4. ??
5. profit

Of course you can use nano if you prefer.

Well, It works for me at least :)

Works for me too and also fixes Shrek kart!!! - do the same - create an ini file named "ShrekKarting.ini" and put in same folder - fixed!

Re: Preenv webOS games compatibility list

Save space (Transfer games to MyDocs folder) from something called the wiki?
is still way to complicated for me to do, can someone post a working solution, something that can be copy pasted, for each game would be nice, with all the text exact as is needed, and clear english instructions for where we put the files or make the folders,

for example....
cp [SOURCE]/com.ea.app.nfsuc/appinfo.json /home/user/[webos]/com.ea.app.nfsuc/
cp [SOURCE]/com.ea.app.nfsuc/nfsuc /home/user/[webos]/com.ea.app.nfsuc/

am i supposed to change the [SOURCE] and [webos] text to something else?
and remove the brackets or not?
i dont speak linux!

(Fortunately, I don't think it's going to blow your device up)

Very, very low chance of damaging your machine. I very much doubt creating a file called 'driver.ini' will modify the behaviour of the entire O/S - it's specific settings for the Driver game.

And yes, it 'fixed' the graphics problem in Driver. And no, my N900 has not caused the Hadron Collider to make a black hole.

Works for me too - thanks :)

...At least it fixes the 'main' graphics problem. But it's still not 100% right - It seems that where there's lights etc it renders as solid blocks so you can't see through them.

Still, makes the game just about playable :)

i dont speak linux!

the source folder is your gamelocation (/home/user/MyDocs) for example when you've copied the game over in Mass Storage Mode.

and [webos] is just a custom folder in /home/user (the small 2GB partition) he used... I called mine preenv for example or just have the games without subfolders in /home/user/
for example /home/user/tetristouch or /home/user/hawx.

so whats the procedure in the save-space-tutorial...
simply:
-copy your games to MyDocs -> via Mass Storage Mode (because its faster)
-create a folder with game name in the 2GB partition of your beloved phone (/home/user/<your game dir> or /home/user/<any subdirectory>/<your game dir>)
-then copy over from game folder on MyDocs to /home/user/<your game dir> the 3 essential files for each game
appinfo.json, icon.png and the game "executable"

-put appinfo.json and icon.png always into the root of /home/user/<your game dir> and the game executable mostly goes into the subfolder (mostly having gamename) ->see orginial directory structure in MyDocs/<your game source folder>
-a few games have its start file in the root directory, too

my Need for Speed Undercover for example looks as following:
-/home/user/nfsuc
-----------------------/appinfo.json
-----------------------/icon.png
-----------------------/nfsuc (game start file)
-----------------------/res_nfsuc (symlinked to /home/user/MyDocs/nfsuc)
-----------------------------------/all the game files (but symlinks only pointing to /home/user/MyDocs/nfsuc/res_nfsuc)

and Asphalt5 looks this way;
-/home/user/asphalt5
-------------------------/appinfo.json
-------------------------/icon.png
-------------------------/Asphalt5 (folder with game files and executable)
-------------------------------------/Asphalt5 (executable - not symlinked)
-------------------------------------/all the game files (but all symlinked to /home/user/MyDocs/asphalt5/Asphalt5)

^^ clear ??? ;)

I completely uninstalled the game and deleted all files,icons etc.
Then i re-installed the game again and it worked using this:-

Please take care typing and use the correct case where needed including game folder and game file names

Go into x terminal

1 sudo gainroot
2. mkdir -p /media/internal
3. cd /media/
4. chown -R user:root internal/
5. chmod -R 755 internal/
6. mkdir -p /home/user/webos/gamesave
7. cd /home/user/
8. chown -R user:root webos/
9. chmod -R 755 webos/
10. ln -s /home/user/webos/gamesave /media/internal
(credit to zhandro @ maemo.org)

- i then created a folder in /home/user called applications and copied the com. game folder into this folder (all this was done using filebox) -

Install game with this

open x terminal

1 sudo gainroot
2 cd game-folder
3 chmod a+x filename

Test game from x terminal

1 preenv
2 ./filename

Game should load

if it works ok you need to exit the game, press ctrl and delete together and tap x on game window to close,

re-open x terminal window

3 exit (until x terminal closes)

create a game icon with this.

open x terminal

1 sudo gainroot
2 preenv
3 desktopgen game-folder/appinfo.json
4 exit (until x terminal closes)

Use x terminal at you're own risk if used incorrectly it can damage you're phone

If i have made a mistake please let me know.

I used Asphalt 5 v1.1.4

TQ SO MUCH. NOW IT RUN.
AND DON'T FORGET TO DELETE DATA.SAV. IF NOT GAME CLOSE AFTER LOADING PROCESS. THIS THANKS TO mido.fayad.
REALLY AWESOME. ASPHALT IS BETTER AND SMOOTHER THAT NFS.:D:D:D:D:D

What do you mean? The file /etc/powervr.d/ShrekKarting.ini should contain:

Code:

[default]

ForceExternalZBuffer=0

That line alone won't do anything to the graphic library. I think Preenv needs a more up to date version from WebOS libraries :) then we can be surely play most of the games. May be I'm wrong though.

When I create the file with the two lines, it fixes the graphics display problem for Driver and ShrekKarting.

When the file is not there, the problem re-occurs.

Or when I change ForceExternalZBuffer=0 to ForceExternalZBuffer=1 the problem re-occurs.

So I think it's fairly safe to say that this does do something to the graphics library specifically for the appropriate games.

Have you actually tried it?!

Re: Preenv webOS games compatibility list

For Driver I created the driver.ini file on my pc, with the following lines in the ini file:
[default]
ForceExternalZBuffer=0

Copied driver.ini file to the applications directory of my phone and executed the following code in x-terminal:
root
cp /home/user/MyDocs/applications/driver.ini /etc/powervr.d

but when I then start driver I still have the same problem. Nothing changed:(

but its still far too complicated for my simple brain!
i dont have a 2GB partition on my phone
and wouldnt possibly know how to get one!
or even what one is!

what i need (and others probably need too)
is lots of instructions i can copy and paste into xterm

lke this:

that way worked for me because i just copy pasted everything without having to think too much about it!

It's specific settings for the PVR driver, not for any "driver" game. So yes, it's chaging settings for the entire system. Change the windowing system there and Maemo no longer boots. That is a _fact_. You're on your own.

the N900 is already partitioned by default.
a few megs for rootfs, 2GB for user and program files and the rest of the ~30GB memory is your custom stuff - the MyDocs location.

thats what I meant with "2GB partition". ;)

Just because it's called driver.ini does not mean that it's a generic process for drivers. It's specific to the Driver game.
I've made the change (and so have others apparently) and Maemo still boots: _fact_

No, I was confusing it with /etc/powervr.ini and didn't see the powervr.d part--previously matching by the executable name was done inside powervr.ini, where [default] means "match every executable name", which is exactly that file's contents.

But I guess Nokia created the pvr.d directory for exactly that same purpose plus ease of packaging, so I'll shut up.
