Re: Palm Pre gets SDL! native gaming
 

I am able to get some of the games working, but where I lack knowledge is the following;

at chmod +rwx xxx, where does this xxx come from? for nfsuc I followed the youtube video and got it working, and also monopoly I "guessed it". But example for sims and nova, I just get "no such file or directory"

Help?

Thanks

chmod +x executable-file-here

chmod is the command
+x gives executable permission (-x removes, +rwx gives read, write, execute)
executable-file-here is the file you run (nfsuc, etc)

Really dumb question, how do you know for sure which is the executable file? for example one was nfsuc, monopoly was monopolyclassic if I remember correctly. From where does one get the executable-file name?

Thanks

With the command ls, you can view the files in the directory where you're in. For example:

Nokia-N900:/opt/preenv_games/radiant# ls
Radiant icon.png save0 save2
appinfo.json res save1

As you can see, there are 7 files in the directory. The game is probably the file named Radiant. thus, "chmod +x Radiant" is what you want.

Sometimes the executable is in a subfolder. For example:
Nokia-N900:/opt/preenv_games/tetristouch# ls
Game appinfo.json icon.png

You'll have to change the dir to Game and ls again:
Nokia-N900:/opt/preenv_games/tetristouch# cd Game
Nokia-N900:/opt/preenv_games/tetristouch/Game# ls
a.m4v e.m4v i.ogg save0.phf
a2 f.m4v icon.png save1.phf
b.m4v g.ogg j.ogg tetristouch
c.m4v gamelib.rlb k.ogg
d.m4v h.ogg license-ogg.txt
tetristouch is probably the executable, so now we can chmod +x tetristouch. Voila!

Use the tab key to autocomplete commands. In the last example you know Game is a folder because when you type
"cd G" [tab], it will autocomplete to "cd Game"
Also, "chmod +x t" will autocomplete to "chmod +x tetristouch"
If multiple files/dirs are possible when you press tab, it will display a list of possible completions of the file/directoryname.

Re: Palm Pre gets SDL! native gaming
 

ey guys, i dont see the exit button on any of these games :( i mean is there any other way to quite the game or do we must press the power button everytime we will end a game?

Re: Palm Pre gets SDL! native gaming
 

[QUOTE=zerocool2k;857011]Did you "chmod a+x nova" ?
And did you "sudo gainroot" before doing that?

EDIT: OK, let's try again from the beginning, assume that you have nova in "/home/user/applications/com.gameloft.app.nova". Run the following:

[code]
sudo gainroot
cd /home/user/applications/com.gameloft.app.nova
preenv
chmod +rwx nova
./nova
desktopgen appinfo.json
exit

Please try this it will work
