1. Get Palm Pre Game (.ipk) You can google it where to find. Or P.M. me.

I will set example for Need for Speed Undercover.
The file name will be "com.ea.app.nfsuc.eu.en_20.0.48_all.ipk"
Install 7zip in your PC and extract this file.
You need the data.tar.gz inside it.
Extract data.tar.gz.
Go through inside it until you reach "com.ea.app.nfsuc.eu.en" folder
This com.ea.app.nfsuc.eu.en is the game data you need.
Rename com.ea.app.nfsuc.eu.en to nfsuc

2. Copy nfsuc to N900

Basically you can use USB but you can only put in myDocs.
This game should be in /home/user
I use midnight commander (in devel-extras) to copy it from home/user/myDocs to /home/user. You can use any advance file manager

3. Install preenv

Make sure that devel-extras repo is enable and your catalogues is updated
Open X-term:

Code:

Type: sudo gainroot (Enter)
Type: apt-get install preenv (Enter)

Anwser "Y" (Enter) if it prompted to install it.

4. Game installation

From Step 3, don't close X-term yet.

Code:

Type: preenv (Enter)
Type: cd /home/user/nfsuc (Enter)
Type: chmod +rwx nfsuc (Enter)
Type: desktopgen appinfo.json (Enter)

5. Restart N900 so that Icon will appear in your menu.

6. Then have fun
