Getting webOS games on your N900 is not for the faint of heart

The process of installing the game to your n900 might look a bit daunting at first, but if you take a step back it’s not as crazy as it seems.

First you need to install preenv, which is the environment which allows you to run palm pre applications. After that you need to transfer the game to the n900 which is probably easier done by downloading the .ipk file for the game you already own from the internet. (there is plenty of sources for these files, use google)

once the game is on your device it needs to be installed/unpacked. I simply used “dpkg -i filename.ipk” and it automatically installed it in the proper directories. From this view it does not look as complex as it does from the howto, but in essence they’re both the same.

@ Jonas:

I completely agree with you, but u know sometimes unpacking the .ipk fiel from n900 sometimes take more time.

An old Indian saying: which ever path you choose, you should find success in it not worry about the path

@Jonas not the best idea because it installs in root :/ better to unpack the files and move somewhere else (MyDocs e.g.)
