It was a generic reminder that .sh files should be treated with as much warning as .exe files . They're a quite handy container for malware. And I'm worried that we are teaching a wrong lesson by encouraging its exchange. This is why I suggest using gconf's xml files, which are sligthly more safe, until we make our own file format.

I sync'ed up to 1.6. No new fixes except for a couple small tweaks to try to get textures to scale better, you should notice Angry Birds and Scrabble look better. Also wired up right analog dualshock stick and the L2/R2 triggers just to try it out in nova. There's one small quirk where the mouse are initially pressed in so the joystick doesn't work until you move it out of and back into center.

@jflatt:I have made a program to convert the .sh file format into the .xml one. The program seems to be working but I have two problems that needs your assist:
1-There might be some mistakes in the output file.If there are,inform me about them.
2-Please give me some instructions on how to load the .xml file.
To run the program
Code:
python converter.py

gconf supports a xml-based settings exchange format (see gconftool-2 --help-load), I prefer that very much over sharing shell scripts (which, you know, CAN hide "bad stuff", including deleting and/or destroying your N900).
Please do not implicitly trust .sh files, read and understand them before running!
Btw, I added basic vibration support to preenv 0.1.6. However, few games seem to support it as a real Pre doesn't seem to vibrate (but the API is there nevertheless).
The games that use the vibrator used to fail in the first few versions of Preenv (because Haptic* symbols were missing). Raging Thunder seemingly was once on the incompatible list with such error message.
Also, I am considering creating a standard directory layout for stored games in Preenv. This would mean that
- /opt/preenv/data would be user-writable, and would be equivalent to a Pre's /media/cryptofs directory (so it would be where you put "apps" directory).
- /media/cryptofs would be installed as a symlink to /opt/preenv/data
- /media/internal would be installed as a symlink to /home/user/MyDocs
- GetWritablePath() would return some path inside /home/user/.preenv/
is that Ok for everyone?
I would like to understand better your last suggestion regarding the standard directory layout. Does your proposal change the ability to be able to install a game to any location you desire?
For example, I currently copy a games com directory to /home/user/games and move some folders to /home/user/MyDocs/games and symlink to the folders in MyDocs. Would game directories need to be relocated to /opt/preenv/data?

If you however do it outside of /opt/preenv/data/apps/usr/palm/applications, preenv will not accurately emulate the /media/cryptofs directory that is on a Pre. While most games don't care, some might fail. But if they worked already they're not going to break.

Did anyone get the vibrator to work in, for example, raging thunder? What do you think?

Try jflatts's library if you want, he applied the changes already. Otherwise I hope to push it today along with the /opt/preenv/data thing.
