Because Android 2.3 will be out.. then 3.0.. then 3.1.. etc..

feature set will get closer and closer to 100% but you will find that every revision of the OS will break things and further development will need to take place.

Then again, we've all been using Microsoft Windows "beta" for years since they gave up on the MS-DOS "beta".. :D :D

I bought mine cheap off ebay when they didnt sell as well as had been expected. Got it for 150 bucks - which I thought was a good price. Its not that its a bad phone, but the N900 is like a drug I just can't kick. Sure you know its killing you - but the high man .... the high.

Re: Palm Pre gets SDL! native gaming

I've tried to run Gangstar 1.0.4 with no succes. This is what I got:

Code:

Nokia-N900:/home/user/gangstar/Gangstar# ./Gangstar

cp: cannot create '/media/internal/Gangstar2.sav': Path does not exist

cp: cannot create '/media/internal/Gangstar2.preferences': Path does not exist

SDLGL: called sdl_init with flags = 0x100230

X11: PID is 15704

PDL: Switch orientation to 3

PDL: Init: Service name is com.javispedro.preenv.Gangstar

PDL: Screen dimming prevention ON

PDL: Music is playing

PDL: Set do_not_disturb flag to false

SDLGL: Requested GL major version 1

SDLGL: SDL_GLES initialized (res=0)

SDLGL: Ignoring doublebuffer preference

SDLGL: Requested GL minor version 1 (ignored)

SDLGL: Called SetVideoMode(320, 480, 0, 0x2)

SDLGL: Requested OpenGL video mode

SDLGL: Asked if video mode 800x480x16 (0x90000000) is ok

PDL: Application asked for lang, giving en_US

Segmentation fault

Nokia-N900:/home/user/gangstar/Gangstar#

it might be the sym link issue. i'll try to make that work by following some of your posts, but I'm a noob so I don't know ....
you'll hear of me if i succed

play on!

[EDIT]
I did this in x-term

Code:

mkdir -p /home/user/webos/gamesave

ln -s /home/user/webos/gamesave /media/internal

and the two "cannot create: errors disappeared but the rest of the output is the same. no Gangstar any ideas ?
thanks!

Re: Palm Pre gets SDL! native gaming

Great work Javier!
And wow the Maemo n900 cmty is quite active! Very cool.
Good eye, and good developer work getting preenv out.
So now I am looking for a mit of help -- How about n900env!
There's a thread going about all this, and personally I would definitely like to see some n900 apps on WebOS!

Even just free ones, like Fennec, Opera Mobile & skype* would be fantastic to me. I haven't looked at the app list much yet to know what other awesome apps ya'll have that we don't.

I'm having a heck of a time trying to figure out how to download apps from the ovistore, maybe we can trade some freeware downloads? More importantly..

Javier - what do you think the work would be like to do the opposite? Could the stubs all be reversed? I realize there's a minor problem re X11, but we'll work on that..
This is exciting! It'd be cool if Meego+WebOS teamed up, like, on purpose. :) But for now, this alignment of the stars is pretty rad.
I already got TuxPaint for Maemo to work on a Pre+, so its definitely possible to do the opposite. Thanks in advance for your time/info!

I've tried the above and I still get this:

Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable distribution that some required packages have not yet been created or moved out of Incoming.

The following information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies: preenv: Depends: libgles1-sgx-img but it is not installable
E: Broken packages

Anyone have any other ideas of how I can install Preenv 0.1.1?

Did somebody already mention how to install The Settlers?

Re: Palm Pre gets SDL! native gaming

I got Asphalt5 to work and corrected the crash bug with this fix http://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p...6&postcount=54
Thanks for that! :-)

However the only problem now is that desktopgen does not generate the icon, so everytime i wanna play it i need to go to xterminal and type it all out..... I get the following error when trying to desktopgen asphalt5's appinfo.json file:
unable to parse "appinfo.json": Failed to open file 'appinfo.json': No such file or directory

Before I was getting a parsing error of line 177 now its just this, ive tried a couple times. The game still works fine.

Any ideas on how to fix or what I am missing?

Re: Palm Pre gets SDL! native gaming

I have an idea!
Failed to open file 'appinfo.json': No such file or directory

No such file or directory = the file doesn't exist!
You are using desktopgen in the wrong folder!

Re: Palm Pre gets SDL! native gaming

Yeah. Asphalt5 is an folder mess.

/Home/user/Asphalt5/Asphalt5.

appinfo.json is on /Asphalt5.
Game is on /Asphalt5/Asphalt5.
