I can't figure out what's the deal with the libaudiofile0 package but it doesn't seem like it can simply be added : http://www.gossamer-threads.com/list...velopers/52274
Did anyone successfully install this on the N900?

Sorry about that Corton, I didn't realise that this was a N900 exclusive thread.

All I can say is that it installs easily on a N800 tablet.

Fair enough, makes more sense.. I wanted it to be divided to ports that have been released and are perfectly safe and ones that aren't, but I guess yours makes sense..
For now I'll just take it off until I can get more info.

This is for maemo in general, not just maemo 5, if there's a link to download it for the old tablets I would be happy if you shared it.
That's why I'm trying to make a compatibility list, to see which port goes on which device...
Also I hope that with time all ports would be available for the n900, but that's somewhat unlikely.

I've included all of the other options as well in order to make this a general gaming thread.. The name might be misleading, but I can't change it.
In any way they're just links, so when those threads get buried (and they do get buried) there will be quick access to them.
Any overlapping is irrelevant.. One game might exist as a port and as a rom under some kind of emulation.. So what.. Besides I only provide info on the ports, the emulators and dosbox are done in other threads.

Updated. Thanks for your contributions.

It would be nice to have someone test these ports and let me know whether or not they work on an N900, and how well (I assume they should all work on the N810, 800, 770).

So, i think you should default to N900 and add a footnote if they are available in older ITs. There are/will be far more N900s than the previous editions, and the owners of the previous editions have for the most part had them awhile and are aware what's around.

I bring this up because there is sometimes a different port for N900. This is the case with uqm.

So, the default link for download of uqm should be http://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p...&postcount=158
or the download page itself (which is linked to in that post). There is also a download page for OS2008 and the thread as a whole is a resource for older tablet owners.
