How to install Preenv?
Gain root access and use apt-get in the terminal:
$ root # apt-get install preenv # exit
What do I use to extract an ipk file?
7-zip or any other tool able to extract Debian packages (dpkg, file-roller, ...)
How to install a game
use 7-zip to extract -> game-folder
Copy the game folder to /home/user/[webOS-games]:
$ cd game-folder $ chmod a+x filename
e.g. filename = nfsuc in need for speed case or sims in case of sims3
$ preenv $ ./filename
Once you know that the file plays properly. you can add the menu button:
$ cd game-folder $ root # preenv # desktopgen appinfo.json # exit # exit
How to delete a game
Enter preenv and cd into the game folder:
$ preenv $ cd game-folder
Become root and use desktopgen to delete game icons:
$ root # preenv # desktopgen -r appinfo.json # exit # exit
Now you can delete the game folder itself:
$ cd .. $ rm -r game-folder
Deleting games installed with old preenv 0.1
Become root and delete the folder:
$ sudo gainroot $ rm -r game-folder
To remove the icon, you need to delete three files:
$ rm /usr/share/applications/hildon/filename.desktop $ rm /usr/share/dbus-1/services/filename.service $ rm /usr/share/icons/hicolor/scalable/hildon/filename.png
Refresh your menu:
$ killall hildon-desktop

install preenv and OpenGLES1 (need extras-devel)
apt-get install libgles1 preenv
create main game dir on eMMC card
mkdir -p /home/user/MyDocs/Games/nfs
go to that dir and copy dowloaded .ipk file from desktop (or download directly here)
cd /home/user/MyDocs/Games/nfs scp user@COMPUTER:/path/to/game/com.ea.app.nfsuc_20.0.28_all.ipk /home/user/MyDocs/Games/nfs
create file for loopback mount
dd if=/dev/zero of=/home/user/MyDocs/Games/nfs/nfsu.ext2 count=120 bs=1024k
create ext2 filesystem on it
mkfs.ext2 /home/user/MyDocs/Games/nfs/nfsu.ext2
press 'y'
make mountpoint
mkdir /mnt/nfsu
save it to the fstab
echo -e "/home/user/MyDocs/Games/nfs/nfsu.ext2\t/mnt/nfsu\text2\tloop,auto\t0\t0" >> /etc/fstab
finally, mount it
mount /mnt/nfsu/
create symlynk from /usr/palm (NFSU installs there)
ln -s /mnt/nfsu/ /usr/palm
extrack .ipk file
dpkg -X /home/user/MyDocs/Games/nfs/com.ea.app.nfsuc_20.0.28_all.ipk /mnt/nfsu/
make binary executable
chmod +x /mnt/nfsu/applications/com.ea.app.nfsuc/nfsuc
create desktop launcher
desktopgen /mnt/nfsu/applications/com.ea.app.nfsuc/appinfo.json
