Even I a gentle sole is getting irritated by the lack of reading being done. I'm usually really nice guys but seriously read before you post. Thank you

Yes, I read FAQ, so I installed Assessins, Need for Speed and HerofOfSparta, only with Asphalt5 I have this problem, even I followed the tutorial on youtube, I've also read that several people have this problem but not yet have answers, so again the question formulated.
You do not understand why his annoyance, this is a forum, many people wonder just how to install Preenv and cordially or just someone normally tells you the steps to follow, no hassles.

I follow the following steps to try to run the games, correct me if you do not mind being wrong.

sudo gainroot

preenv

cd /home/user/Games/com.gameloft.app.asphalt5/Asphalt5

home/user/Games/com.gameloft.app.asphalt5/Asphalt5 # chmod +rwx Asphalt5

home/user/Games/com.gameloft.app.asphalt5/Asphalt5 # ./Asphalt5

then I ask already indicated error.

Thanks

You missed the many places in this thread that said not to run as root

then?
As I should run?

Re: Preenv webOS games compatibility list

Just run it while not rooted that is all. Only sudo gainroot to chmod the executable file. U can try exiting and re entering and then cd to the game folder then run preenv and continue to test the game

run as root "desktopgen appinfo.json"
and then launch the games from your app menu

This instructions has CRASHED my device...

YOU SHOULD NOT chown the /usr folder!!!

This will result in needing a reflash.

For the Asphalt thing just make sure you don't chown your /usr folder. Chown the /usr folder within /preenv! My mistake for not reading through the whole sections :/

Re: Preenv webOS games compatibility list

Guys, pls read read the updated compatibility wiki (http://wiki.maemo.org/Preenv/Game_Compatibility) if you are still having some trouble with asphalt, works if you follow the instructions carefully, follow the first half of the 2nd link in asphalt5, if u had already installed the game and symlinks created.

hope this helps

Indeed, this is incredibly bad advice. Don't do this at home kids!! Shows how a little knowledge is dangerous in the wrong hands.

And Renaldo wants to be a mod!!!

Your post made me smile, thank you :)

On another note, What are the chances of getting Palm Pre's apps to run on the n900 if they are webOS?

Re: Preenv webOS games compatibility list

I tried Castle of Magic and it works without problem. Although jumping can be very difficult, but it's playable.. Maybe it's better with touchscreen though.. But why is it listed as unplayable on the compatibility list?
