If the game still doesnt work then you can try the following fix:

Go into x terminal sudo gainroot 1. mkdir -p /media/internal 2. cd /media/ 3. chown -R user:root internal/ 4. chmod -R 755 internal/ 5. mkdir -p /home/user/webos/gamesave 6. cd /home/user/ 7. chown -R user:root webos/ 8. chmod -R 755 webos/ 9. ln -s /home/user/webos/gamesave /media/internal then test to see if it works by running it as instructed in video let me know how it goes:) (credit to zhandro @ maemo.org).

Here is another fix you can try if you still don't get it to work:
$ mkdir -p /home/user/webos/gamesave
$ ln -s /home/user/webos/gamesave /media/internal
$ chown -R user:root /home/user/webos/
$ chmod -R 755 /home/user/webos/
$ chown -R user:root /home/user/webos/gamesave
$ chmod -R 755 /home/user/webos/gamesave
(Thanks to Phillip for pointing this out. who discovered from wiki.maemo.org/Preenv/FAQ#How_to_get_Asphalt5_working.3F)

How to delete/uninstall a game
-----------------------------------------

•Run preenv and cd to the game-folder
$ preenv
$ cd game-folder

•Become root and use desktopgen to delete the menu entry

$ sudo gainroot
# preenv
# desktopgen -r appinfo.json
# exit
# exit

•Now you can delete the game folder itself

$ cd ..
$ rm -r game-folder
