Re: Preenv webOS games compatibility list
 
Might be a little off topic here.
Is there a way to take advantage of the N900 keyboard in games like N.O.V.A since n900 doesnt have multitouch screen?

Or does this come to simulating touchscreen actions, there was somewhere a topic about that already.

There's no way to utilize the keyboards as of now, maybe in future updates.

Ground Effect Pro works well. This even supports the old school 3D very nicely.

The accelerometer does not work so Joystick control has to be used and the Vehical Select screen is somewhat blocky. Apart from that the game plays fine :)

Not sure if this has been mentioned already, the Wiki does not have it listed.

Some updates for games I've been trying...

"Giant Robots" v9.5.0.
Loads, but is unplayable due to bad scaling problems etc. I think I just about started a game, but didn't get any further.

"Skater" 1.0.7
Unplayable - bad scaling and bad/missing graphics

"Family Guy Uncensored" v1.0.0
Not working - black screen on startup

"Wacky Worlds Mini Golf" 1.0.0
Blue background with animated stars is shown, cannot continue.


I've updated the wiki (like a good maemoer ;) )

move the music files and stuff the first set of folders and leave the driver file. I thought by now the executionable files are named after the game with no extentions :) but yea they are for future reference.

experiment my friend :)

A sure way to find the executable file is to look at the entry for "main" in appinfo.json file - you can use grep to help you...

For example, I'm in the directory for "Driver":
Code:

com.gameloft.app.driver $ grep main appinfo.json
..it shows me:
Code:

    "main": "driver/driver",
Which means my executable file is:
Code:

..../com.gameloft.app.driver/driver/driver

@RenaldoTT : im gonna give it a try but there is data folder and res and other folders i dont know if its important to stay in /applications or not

@jedi : thanks man, so you are saying /com.gameloft.app.driver/driver/driver should stay in /applications with appinfo.json ?

Re: Preenv webOS games compatibility list
 
yes /driver/driver should stay and about the res folders I don't see any folders in Driver with that name or is this for NFSUC? If it's the res_nfsuc then it can be moved stangely enough the make of nfsuc allows it to be launched from MyDocs because the executable file "nfsuc" is in the location with appinfo.json so you can move everything else with that game and it'll work

I'm not saying what files should stay where - I provided an easy method for discovering the executable binary file.

Personally I wouldn't selectively move folders/symlink etc. I've got a 8gb mini-sd card installed and formatted with ext2 (which allows for files to be set with the exec permission), then all my WebOS games are stored on there.

Has anyone had any luck with Backbreaker Football?

The Game

The game will launch with a series of GL errors that asks to tap to continue but then loads the developers flash screens but crashes before the menu screens load.

Seems like a pretty decent NFL game. I'm not a big fan of American football (Hand-Egg to us Brits ;)) games but this has caught my eye and looks fun.

Any advice?
