Package name is preenv, on repository extras-devel.

Re: Palm Pre gets SDL! native gaming
 

What about Flash 10.1 from the WebOS 2.0? Should it be possible to copy libflashplayer.so from it into th N900 and have it working?

Re: Palm Pre gets SDL! native gaming
 

I suggested such a thing long ago ( http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php...890#post689890 ). I do not have any interest in Flash, though, so I won't try.

Btw. The Pre got Flash 10.1 in a quite old version, 1.4.0 iirc. (Unlike Nokia :D:D:D).

Re: Palm Pre gets SDL! native gaming
 

It says couldn't find package

@javispedro

I not have palm pre, it's possible to install a games on N900?

You have one example for launch a game?

EDITE: I have Buy a Palm pre for 150CHE! :D

Re: Palm Pre gets SDL! native gaming
 

quick question, do i just transfer the whole usr/palm/application folder and sub-folders to my n900??

Re: Palm Pre gets SDL! native gaming
 

Just the games you're interested in. If you are unsure about some app's name, check the appinfo.json file inside each folder (in fact, that's the file desktopgen uses to create a game's icons -- one could say a folder containing an appinfo.json file is a "selfcontained" application).

Only those distributed outside the Palm Catalog (including a port of DrNokSnes, btw :D ).

$ preenv
$ cd game_dir
$ ./game
:)

Re: Palm Pre gets SDL! native gaming
 

Thanks,

With $./game
I have "Permission denied"

With $ desktopgen appinfo.json
I have "is not executable" :confused:

Re: Palm Pre gets SDL! native gaming
 

Thanks for all of this but i'm getting the same as Airtux :/

Keep the good work :)

Re: Palm Pre gets SDL! native gaming
 

affirmative, i'm getting permission denied as well..

Re: Palm Pre gets SDL! native gaming
 

javispedro we need you! :P

Re: Palm Pre gets SDL! native gaming
 

Really great work, javi!
Do you have a plan when to upload the latest git to extras-devel?
I'm getting the segmetation fault while trying to launch NFSU...


@all you have to chmod +rwx the executeable first.

edit: and also on Sims I get an Segmentation fault.

Re: Palm Pre gets SDL! native gaming
 

works awesome!!!!, managed to get it working WooHooo

Re: Palm Pre gets SDL! native gaming
 

which game?

Re: Palm Pre gets SDL! native gaming
 

First of all, thanks for this package. I would love to see some Palm Pre games running on the N900 :)

I've installed preenv and copied a game to /home/user. After making the game executable, it gives me an error when I try to run it:

error while loading shared libraries: libGLES_CM.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory.

A quick "find / -name libGLES_CM" didn't find libGLES_CM.so anywhere in my filesystem. I am running PR 1.2 and have got opengles-sgx-img-common installed (if that matters, I found a reference to it while googling for libGLES_CM).

Thanks in advance and keep up the good work

Re: Palm Pre gets SDL! native gaming
 

PM me with the full log.


You need to keep the files' permissions while copying stuff from the Pre. This might be difficult if you use Windows or MyDocs for the transfer, but hopefully chmoding the executable as per zehjotkah's post will be enough.

Re: Palm Pre gets SDL! native gaming
 

# apt-get install libgles1-sgx-img
(I guess I should make the package depend on common libraries used by Pre games... :P)

Re: Palm Pre gets SDL! native gaming
 

Thank you Javispedro, EA games are working. However games written specifically for Palm Pre require bindings to their PDL SDL extensions. Do we have the source for these or can we reverse engeneer them (looks like there are only several calls)?

Re: Palm Pre gets SDL! native gaming
 

I usually stub these or try to get what do mean by its name (they're usually trivial stuff like GetDeviceName()); give me the log and i'll try to see what those are. The current git has also more such calls implemented.

Re: Palm Pre gets SDL! native gaming
 

PDL_GetCallingPath and PDL_GetScreenMetrics are two that I'm getting, they sure look trivial. :)

Re: Palm Pre gets SDL! native gaming
 

Thank you sir!

NFSU runs great, but Asphalt 5 crashes (probably same thing as Bunyo said about specific Palm libraries). Nonetheless, every game that does run is a neat plus for the N900 :)

Re: Palm Pre gets SDL! native gaming
 

I've SSH'd into my N900 copied the files again, and now it's running! Great!
Some graphics are even in native 800x480 resolution!
And it's really fast!

Re: Palm Pre gets SDL! native gaming
 

Yep! niccccce! good work! very thanks javispedro!

Re: Palm Pre gets SDL! native gaming
 

Wooo! Javi you're the boss :D

ps
Shouldn't this thread be in games subforum? :>

Re: Palm Pre gets SDL! native gaming
 

NFSU, though i can't exit the car selection/car purchase screen. not sure if its a bug or just that some file is missing or corrupted..

Re: Palm Pre gets SDL! native gaming
 

It's possible to exit the car selection screen by tapping multiple times on return button. (ver. 20.0.29, preenv 0.1 from devel)

Re: Palm Pre gets SDL! native gaming
 

I'll try and upload one shortly.

Re: Palm Pre gets SDL! native gaming
 

Video recorded. I'm compressing the file and then going to upload to Youtube.

Pardon the quality, I used my laptop Webcam. Also, if I put the phone too close, it would begin lagging.

EDIT: It appears that my microphone decided to break. Pretty much, the sound works great anyway.

Re: Palm Pre gets SDL! native gaming
 

any chance of having a tutorial on how to install palm applications? :)

Re: Palm Pre gets SDL! native gaming
 

Hm, here's another: undefined symbol: glGenFramebuffersOES, probably more complicated by the looks of it.

Re: Palm Pre gets SDL! native gaming
 

Here's the video:

Pardon the lack of sound. Microphone decided not to work today.

Re: Palm Pre gets SDL! native gaming
 

I have successfully run EA's NFSUC, Sims 3 and GameLoft's letsgoft.

Re: Palm Pre gets SDL! native gaming
 

That one's already in the git.

Re: Palm Pre gets SDL! native gaming
 

I have tested Gangstar and assassin's creed not work...

Re: Palm Pre gets SDL! native gaming
 

yes, the same with me.

Re: Palm Pre gets SDL! native gaming
 

Well, I'm with 0.1.1 from git and still get it...

Re: Palm Pre gets SDL! native gaming
 

ah i finally got it :) heres a noob friendly tutorial:
firstly, youll need the applications folder which is found in your palm pre /user/ directory. if you do not own any palm, youll have to download the ipk legally and open it with 7z..

if you have the ipk file, open it and extract the applications folder and put it in the /home/user on your n900. this can easily be done by openssh.

now just follow the following steps:
1. sudo gainroot
2. preenv
3. cd /home/user/applications/'name of game folder'.
4. chmod +rwx 'name of the game' (for example, need for speed would be nfsuc)
5. To create a desktop icon, just type: desktopgen appinfo.json

enjoy :)
special thanks go to airtux, javispedro and all those involved in the project

Re: Palm Pre gets SDL! native gaming
 

Thank you very much, javispedro.You solve our game problem.

Re: Palm Pre gets SDL! native gaming
 

I am quite sure I implemented it, so either you are using the old lib or I failed to commit the changed file (gles1.c).


Btw, there's no way I am buying every Pre game in existence (in fact, at this point I own just three and one of them is not native), so if your game crashes in mysterious ways you will have to debug &document it (strace is a good start).
