I wanted to install other ipks with nfsu installer, as it will by itself install on MyDocs, so, all I have to do is edit the file in opt/nfsuinstaller?
I looked there and it seems to be the case...

I edited the file in there, and I sucessfully extracted all archives, but I am stuck in creating sym links. I cannot find it on the file I edited...

Re: Palm Pre gets SDL! native gaming

hi guys ,

noob here wants to ask u people if somebody can make for all the working game a installer like nfsuc-installer

cause all the input lines and to make the game workis just not understandable for a noob

i have only nfsuc to play thanks to nfsuc-installer and i seriously asking if somebody could do the same with asphalt, asassin-creed, sims3, nova

i hope this could be possible and soon available

thanks

Re: Palm Pre gets SDL! native gaming

Follow the noob friendly tutorial by maxximuscool below. It's got pictures for every step of the way (well almost) Worked for me.

Re: Palm Pre gets SDL! native gaming

thats not noob friendly and i was really hoping to install it like the nfsuc-installer way cause thats the real deal for a noob

and u dont need pc either which i dont have to begin with

Re: Palm Pre gets SDL! native gaming

The tutorial is as noob friendly as you can get (if you have a PC.) The installer is for lazy people. The preenv threads haven't been moving very much these past few days so I don't know if anyone is even working on something like that, but you can always wait and hope for the best.

Re: Palm Pre gets SDL! native gaming

Hi, I wrote the following script to install ipk packages on the /opt partition
(I have described how to resize it to 27GB on http://wiki.maemo.org/Repartitioning_the_flash).
install rootsh, preenv, binutils and tar-gnu and
as root, copy the script to /usr/sbin/ipkinstall

Code:

chmod +x /usr/sbin/ipkinstall

usage: call it with some arbitrary shortcut name and the ipk file location

Code:

root

ipkinstall foo /home/user/MyDocs/foo-1.0.ipk

the script

Code:

#!/bin/sh

# ipk installation script by titan v0.2

# requires the packages rootsh, preenv, binutils and tar-gnu

# packages are installed on eMMC in /home/user/games

# example: ipkinst foo /home/user/MyDocs/foo-1.0.ipk

if test $# -ne 2; then

  echo $0 name ipk-file

  exit 1

fi

if test "`id -u`" -ne 0; then

  echo error: $0 must be run as root

  exit 1

fi

name=$1

pkg=$2

dest=/home/user/games

mkdir -p $dest/$name

ar p $pkg data.tar.gz | gtar xz -C $dest/$name

mv $dest/$name/usr/palm/applications/*/* $dest/$name 

rm -rf $dest/$name/usr

exe=`grep "main" $dest/$name/appinfo.json | awk '{print $2;}' | sed 's/[ ",]//g'`

chmod +x $dest/$name/$exe

chown -R user.users $dest/$name/

export PREENV_ROOT=/opt/preenv

. $PREENV_ROOT/env.sh

exec sh -c "desktopgen $dest/$name/appinfo.json"

Re: Palm Pre gets SDL! native gaming

Honestly the instructions in the wiki aren't that difficult, only Asphalt5 can be a bit messy but sames like Sims3 are easy. Instally NOVA is a piece of cake also, I'm a noob also, I aggree that the installer is for lazy people indeed. I've installed various games, some not even on the list for testing sake via the wiki.

Just have patience dude it really isn't that hard to figure out.

Re: Palm Pre gets SDL! native gaming

I am not lazy!!! oke!!

its just not understandable enough for me how hard is that to understand for you POWER users people!????

on the other hand i can imagine that it does gave people the impression that i am too lazy but i aint oke.

i can not type all the codes and understand what i just did and to type everything with just the N900 keyboardis just too much!!!

its not that i didn't try i tried and got really confused thats why i asked for a app to install all the games the same way as nfsuc-installer i mean why is it not possible??? instead of calling me lazy can't u try to understand that not evryone is that good with linux system as u people are trying to be eventhough u wont admit

why make things difficult for noobs if it could be easier and nfsuc-installer is a great example?!!!!!

take that!!!!

only god can judge us so please be helpfull and not so selfish

cause what goes around comes around!!!
