First of all, you need to install Preenv itself. It is not visible in any

repository at the moment and you will need to use X Terminal for this:


open X-Terminal

  • sudo gainroot (you need to have rootsh installed for this)
  • apt-get install preenv.
  • apt-get install libgles1

download the *.ipk file from following:

  • unpack the *.ipk file using 7zip and extract the /applications/ folder from it
  • put the extracted /applications/ folder to /home/user/ on the N900

open X-Terminal

  • sudo gainroot (requires rootsh)

then go to the game folder inside the /applications/ folder created above

  • chmod +rwx filename

run the game by typing ./filename (where filename is the name of the executable file,

nfsuc ( Need For Speed).

To make launching games easier, you can also create an icon in the Menu

which can be used to start the game just like in case of normal N900 applications.

To do so go to the game folder inside the /applications/ folder (as described above) and

  • desktopgen appinfo.json.
HowTo:
firstly, youll need the applications folder which is found in your palm pre /user/ directory. if you do not own any palm, youll have to download the ipk legally and open it with 7z..
if you have the ipk file, open it and extract the applications folder and put it in the /home/user on your n900. this can easily be done by openssh.
now just follow the following steps:
1. sudo gainroot
2. preenv
3. cd /home/user/applications/’name of game folder’.
4. chmod +rwx ‘name of the game’ (for example, need for speed would be nfsuc)
5. To create a desktop icon, just type: desktopgen appinfo.json
