I figured that its just a matter of having the right "permission" but anyone in the know will guess that I'm a bit of a noob so it could just be impossible.

Also I read a few posts that only really touched the subject, but I was wondering is it theoretically possible to run webos apps using preenv.
The games binaries need to have an execute permisssion. The FAT32 formatted file systems on your internal 32GB memory block (/home/user/Mydocs) or on the MircoSD card can't support this kind of file permissions.

But your /home partition (The 2GB space where you can install apps to) is formatted ext2, which DOES support UNIX standard file permissions, so the game binaries need to live there.

This is why if you ever copy file to/from the /home partition to MyDocs or your SD card you'll see alot of warnings about not being able to preserve the original file ownership.
