For a list of Linux games that are based on SDL, check out the database on the SDL website. Then google to see if any that interest you have been ported to WebOS. http://www.libsdl.org/games.php I just googled and saw mention of some free SDL games that were ported to WebOS including SuperTux, ScummVM and TetriCrisis, if you can find a place to download them perhaps one of them will work. Any game that has already been ported to N900 probably stands a very good chance of running since the required libraries will be available on N900. It seems most of the commercial games that work are EA games. Since EA ports their games to many platforms they tend to avoid using any OS-specific functionality or UI elements. (This is also why EA games historically have worked very well in WINE on Linux.) _______________________________________________ maemo-users mailing list maemo-users@xxxxxxxxx https://lists.maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-users
