Could someone tell why I have to do steps 1-5? I never did that and all my games are running fine from MyDocs.
:cheers:

note: I only used this method by installing the .deb (preenv game) file first.
required software for n900:
preenv
rootsh
leafpad (or any notepad app for n900)
filebox (under settings, make sure "enable root access" box is checked, "auto select items in clipboard" box is checked, and "delete items from clipboard on Paste" is checked)
step by step modification of some files firstdo not include "")
1. Open Xterm and type "root" then hit enter
2. type "leafpad /usr/sbin/mmc-mount" then hit enter.
3. leafpad will appear and you have to modify the file, remove only the text "noexec", change the value of "fmask" to "000" instead of 0133 and save and close the file.
4. from the xterm type "leafpad /etc/default/mount-opts" then hit enter.
5. leafpad will appear and you have to modify the file:
the first line should appear as:
home_opts="rw,noatime,errors=continue,commit=1,dat a=writeback"
the second line should appear as:
fat_opts="noauto,nodev,nosuid,noatime,nodiratime,u tf8,uid=29999,shortname=mixed,dmask=000,fmask=000, rodir", save and close the file.
6. reboot your phone.
proper installation of games:
1. create a game folder (I used "preenvgames") in home/user/MyDocs
1. download the .deb preenv game (google it, I cannot provide it here, it's kind of illegal) and save it to your n900
2. install the .deb preenv game by just clicking on it. application manager will install it for you.
3. navigate (using filebox) to /opt/preenv/usr/palm/applications, press and hold the game file (example: com.laminar-research.app.xplane-default), copy it.
4. navigate (using filebox) to /home/user/MyDocs/preenvgames and paste the file there (just click the top button on the right and click paste from clipboard)
5. navigate back (using filebox) to /opt/preenv/usr/palm/applications, press and hold the game file (example: com.laminar-research.app.xplane-default), delete it.
6. create a symlink from /opt/preenv/usr/palm/applications (same directory where we deleted the game file). to create a symlink just click on the button on top right and click on "create new symlink", symlink destination will appear and navigate to your gamefile /home/user/MyDocs/preenvgames/gamefile(that is com.something.something.something), you will see now a folder with an arrow (it's kind of a shortcut icon)
7. Launch the game if it is working! (in my case it always works, and it will work for you as well.)
The copy using filebox is not working. When I click on paste, it is throwing an error "Nothing to Paste". I enabled the root access in my filebox. Is there any other way to copy the game files?
