Did you create symlinks before executing desktopgen?

(in command line just replace all "sims" and "sims3" with "nfsuc")

Check inside /home/user/Games/Nfsuc/ if you have shortcut to folder res_nfsuc.

Probably you didn't write right path to game's executing file. Some games have this file inside folder res_****. Check step 8 in maxximuscool tutorial there is mentioned the difference between Sims3 and Asphalt5/Monopoly.

To quickly check folder structure and files inside them use FileBox .

Did as you said and went till the last step and now I can see the NFSUC icon in the app list but when I click it,it just shows me a black screen with the loading bar and then closes off in a few seconds.

Seems like I screwed up somewhere else now.Need help.

If these instructions are for noobs how come I am having so many problems?

You are almost there. Check permissions of folders and files again (screenshots in steps 4,5 & 7).

Guys, you could just enable executability for MyDocs, make an applications folder in MyDocs and symlink it to /home/user.
Making MyDocs executable is considered a 'security risk' but I don't see how. It's working fine here.

Just edit /usr/sbin/mmc-mount and /etc/default/mount-opts to remove noexec and set fmask=777.

Careful, if you do this wrong you'll need a reflash.

Edit: Sorry, it's fmask=000.

Sounds like a juicy, abridged answer to the issue. Care to do a:
  1. do
  2. then
  3. and
  4. and you're done!

?
That would be awesome!

Through the terminal:
1) sudo gainroot
2) apt-get install nano (if you don't have nano installed already)
3) nano /usr/sbin/mmc-mount
Edit it to: (without the '----')
------
#!/bin/sh
mount -t vfat -o $3,noauto,nodev,nosuid,noatime,nodiratime,utf8,uid =29999,shortname=mixed,dmask=000,fmask=000,rodir "$1" "$2" > /dev/null
------
Ctrl-X, then Y
4) nano /etc/default/mount-opts
Edit it to: (without the '----')
-----
# Options for mounting user's filesystems

home_opts="rw,noatime,errors=continue,commit=1,dat a=writeback"
fat_opts="noauto,nodev,nosuid,noatime,nodiratime,u tf8,uid=29999,shortname=mixed,dmask=000,fmask=000, rodir"
-----
Ctrl-X, then Y
5) exit
6) mkdir /home/user/MyDocs/pre
7) cp -r /home/user/applications /home/user/MyDocs/pre
8) ln -s /home/user/MyDocs/pre/applications /home/user

When you install games, install them to MyDocs/pre/applications.

Careful, if these steps are not taken carefully, you might have to go for a reflash
