The scripts are designed to run in Scratchbox. There's a short doc inside the archive.

The script has been successfully used to build .deb files for following working games (where 'working' means more or less playable):

com-ea-app-battleship-pre-en_1.0.60_armel.deb
com-ea-app-monopoly_20.0.35_armel.deb
com-ea-app-nfsuc_20.0.28_armel.deb
com-ea-app-sims_20.0.22_armel.deb
com-ea-app-tetristouch_1.3.8_armel.deb
com-gameloft-app-asphalt5_1.1.4_armel.deb
com-gameloft-app-assassins_1.0.6_armel.deb
com-gameloft-app-brainchallenge_1.1.1_armel.deb
com-gameloft-app-brothersinarms_1.0.9_armel.deb
com-gameloft-app-castleofmagic_1.0.3_armel.deb
com-gameloft-app-driver_1.1.7_armel.deb
com-gameloft-app-earthwormjim_1.0.3_armel.deb
com-gameloft-app-hawx_1.1.5_armel.deb
com-gameloft-app-heroofsparta_1.0.4_armel.deb
com-gameloft-app-nfl2010_1.0.0_armel.deb
com-gameloft-app-nova_1.0.9_armel.deb
com-gameloft-app-oregontrail_1.0.7_armel.deb
com-gameloft-app-shrekkarting_1.1.1_armel.deb
com-jakyl-gepro_1.0.0_armel.deb
com-laminar-research-app-xplane-default_9.5.0_armel.deb
net-hexage-buka_2.22.327_armel.deb
net-hexage-radiant_2.11.383_armel.deb

The resulting .deb file doesn't require anything except preenv (and sometimes auxiliary libs like libavcodec52, libsdl-net etc, the usual stuff, dependencies are declared in the .deb file). It contains a .desktop file and icons, e.g. it's a complete end-user installable .deb file, without any tricks and/or manual work required. The only problem is that the icon appears as a blue square until reboot (or untill 'killall hildon-desktop'), but this is a well-known Maemo bug.
Just a note with mod hat to say that this kind of post is fine: you are providing tools without distributing or linking to copyrighted material. I have banned, temp-banned, blacklisted IP and/or deleted a handful of threads/posts/accounts in the last few days because people couldn't be bothered to read or play by the rules.

This PalmOS compatibility detective work by javispedro is awesome, but i'm taking a no-tolerance approach to moderating the resulting traffic to prevent it from becoming a huge headache. So in addition to the existing rules, please also keep the discussion in the two existing threads as appropriate, and be sure to search the threads before posting questions.

Thanks for your help keeping t.m.o on legal solid ground.
