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:

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?

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

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.

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