The answer is in your xterm output, game is trying to write to a read-only file. Try:

Re: Preenv webOS games compatibility list
 

I RUN chown -R user:users /opt/preenv/usr/palm/applications/com.bitlogik.uflip

Face, meet hand... :p

Dude, I forgot to tell you to put sudo in front of chown (or login as root then logout). Just have a look at the first screengrab, it's a dead giveaway "Operation not permitted."

Re: Preenv webOS games compatibility list
 

No problem, glad I could be of some help - don't forget to use the Thanks button! ;)

As for WebOS game manager, I'm not active in that thread nor do I use the application (the games I have installed are all installed manually), so I'm not able to help you there.

BTW, the sudo chown command should be run for all game folders that you install manually.

Hi, now glowhockey starts. But i only can move the pad once (touch screen is not working anymore). If i pause the game (via ctrl backspace), i can move the pad one more time before the problem come back.

This is my x-terminal:

How can i solve it?

Re: Preenv webOS games compatibility list
 

Yep, saw that too, I tried a few things but couldn't get it to work. There are quite a few games that have some sort of input problems, it's probably the biggest issue right now. I'm thinking we need to capture the SDL event loop, but it's a little hard to try and guess what the game is doing with the SDL events.

Hi,

Preenv 0.1.7 seems to unable to play Hawx, Avatar & settlers (.deb installation)..
I managed to play them but with symlink modification mentioned on the wiki page..
I post this because i didn't have this problem on 0.1.5, so could you fix it for 0.1.8?

hi, i was playing sims 3 when suddenly, the game crashed to "desktop". now, any time, i want to go to the city, the game crashes which means, i cannot continue the game. anyone knows that prob?

Re: Preenv webOS games compatibility list
 

launch the game from xterm and post the output here:

When the game crashes, you will have some output in xterm, post it here (or see if you can work it out, read line by line and it should be apparent).

Had you set the permissions correctly? I.e.:

Not ridiculing the new users for not using the wiki. It would be better if you remind them about the wiki as well.

Angry Birds RIO just appears to load and goes back to desktop. :( what gives?

Re: Preenv webOS games compatibility list
 

You must observe the following rules to fullmoon example
1. to obtain permission> sudo gainroot
2. to modify folder permissions> chmod-R 777 / opt / preenv / usr / palm / applications / com.njoyentertain.app.fullmoon
3. to modify user rights> chown-R user: users / opt / preenv / usr / palm / applications / com.njoyentertain.app.fullmoon
4. into that folder cd / opt / preenv / usr / palm / applications / com.njoyentertain.app.fullmoon
5. run the game> / opt / preenv / usr / palm / applications / com.njoyentertain.app.fullmoon / fullmoon

Re: Preenv webOS games compatibility list
 

Or you can just install the .deb file for every game that we discuss in this thread (just google it)

Re: Preenv webOS games compatibility list
 

How did you install it? Did you run it from xterm?

installed it using App Manager, tried running it from the app list. wont work for me. :(

Re: Preenv webOS games compatibility list
 

If you use xterm he will tell you the error message

Re: Preenv webOS games compatibility list
 

javispedro/jflatt, would you guys know whether it would be possbile to add true portrait support for games that are played in portrait mode? The games that are played in portrait work well, but notifications & volume control are in landscape - it would be nice to have them in portait since those two items do work in portrait mode maemo applications.

Just an idea, I have no idea how simple/complex it would be to incorporate, or any roadblocks in the way.

I think the symlink modification is correct. This is what it looks like on my phone:

Re: Preenv webOS games compatibility list
 

Just noticed from this thread... What's with having a chmod -R 777 is it really having to set read/write/execute on every little file of webOS games?

Re: Preenv webOS games compatibility list
 

I have several games installed, and this should rarely (ever!) be the case. You just need to make sure that the ownership is assigned to user:users, and theb just chmod ug+x on the executable. I.e.:
Have a read of the Preenv FAQs Wiki.

Re: Preenv webOS games compatibility list
 

Yeah I know that's why I am asking what's with making a recursive chmod on preenv game folders.
Look it even reached 2 pages here and I don't see any need for that at all.

Re: Preenv webOS games compatibility list
 

hey, there ! i was just willing to know... as i couldn't find an answer in this thread - it may be a bit off topic but... - would it be possible to run WebOS apps also ? i mean apps like IM+
or only games are supported because they use SDL libraries ?
thx in advance ^^

Re: Preenv webOS games compatibility list
 

I feel a little something to the Standard Rules
How to test the game?
In addition to installing preenv, whether there is what must be installed?
Corresponding to the error message handling that?
http://wiki.maemo.org/Preenv/FAQ shown is for the method corresponding to the individual game
However, not many people to increase data

chmod-R 777 is just a convenient way. but it is not correct
javispedro and travla're right, I'm sorry the government against use the wrong idea

But for newcomers how to play the game the fewest mistakes, DEB and WebOS Games Manager is a good way
But not many people make, WebOS Games Manager has still not fully installed the game all known executable

Re: Preenv webOS games compatibility list
 

That would require knowing which specific programs displayed themselves in a portrait orientation, which would be a bit hackish. There isn't anything going on with Maemo API rotation there.

Re: Preenv webOS games compatibility list
 

That's what the PDL_SetOrientation function is for ;) AFAIU, its a hint to the system UI from the game which orientation should system alerts, menus, etc. should use.

However, the issue is with the Maemo SDL. It doesn't work exactly well with the standard Hildon rotation (doesn't update its valid resolutions list when the screen is rotated, and thus crashes unless you don't render outside of a 480x480 area).

Re: Preenv webOS games compatibility list
 

Thanks for the response jflatt. I just had a thought, bear with me if I don't make sense. Is a game that is running via preenv seen by Maemo like any other application that is running? If so, could we add a switch to preenv (and desktopgen), say -p, that would allow that instance of preenv to be seen by maemo as a portait application, and hence rotate volume controls and notifications?

This would also mean that it is up to the user to set the switch while running the game (or making the shortcut). What do you think?

Re: Preenv webOS games compatibility list
 

javispedro, can an orientation be set independent of that function for the application/system interaction?

Re: Preenv webOS games compatibility list
 

Due to the way the Maemo SDL works, the only way this can work is by forcing portait mode from hildon-desktop, so that it works in portrait mode from start to end.

This is impossible with the stock hildon-desktop, as it will flip rotations at least once during the startup. It might be possible with the CSSU hildon-desktop, however, I do not have much motivation to open that can of worms...


It is though on my loong TODO list to fix the Maemo SDL one day (aka=add xrandr notifications support to it).

Games use that function correctly (because otherwise the same stuff you see on the N900 would happen on the Pre) -- Preenv just doesn't implement it correctly because of the above reasons.

Also, while WebOS is able to rotate the interface in all 4 directions (and the browser for ex does it), the stock hildon-desktop only supports 2.

Re: Preenv webOS games compatibility list
 

Thank you for the explanation, makes a little more sense now.

Re: Preenv webOS games compatibility list
 

Solved.

If any game seems to get stuck with "Initializing device unique ID", then check to make sure your bluetooth is on in the phone. I did an strace and also looked through the libsdlpre.so and found out that the messages tries to create a unique device id by reading /dev/random if it cannot get the id from the device bluetooth configuration and reading /dev/random is extremely slow.

Also strace revealed some invalid paths in /media/cryptofs - fixed it with symlinks.
