Hi all

I have just registered but it seems I am unable to access games.

I get the folowing message

Note to new users

If you just created your account in garage.maemo.org, try again in a few minutes.Thank you.

Also note that while garage has case-insensitive usernames, here the usernames are case-sensitive, try using all lowercase.


I have downloaded the VGBA application successfully but would like to know if I am able to download winzip files onto my N900 that end in .nds from a site that I am a member of? Or do I need to download direct from this site? Is there a Winzip application available for Linux?

I am sorry if these are really 'newbie' questions but I have tried to help myself but cant find the answers

Would also be great if someone can tell me what version of flash I need to download from Adobe? Many thanks - sorry found a post relating to this. I will check it out

Zan

VGBA is for Gameboy Advance games, not DS games

what he said

plus search the app manager for zip.

you will be able to add unzipping files to the filemanager this way.

Ahhh, Thanks Horus for pointing that out So my next question would be do I just download from the games section and then open with the VGBA app? Obviously I would purchase the game aswell.

Thanks

I'm not sure if the N900 is able to emulate DS games, still the DS is based on a slow ARM CPU so it might be possible.

You can download and play GameBoy Advanced games, yes.

You can download DS games too, but you can't play them on your N900 as there is no DS emulator yet.

Thank you Crogge and Keir for your replies :0

If I want to try DS games do the DS files ned to end in .nds to enable them to work? Is there a winzip application available for the N900 or an alternative?

I managed to sort out the games download. I was following a dead link from about a year ago but have now managed to download a couple of games and all working fine.

Many thanks

LOL You have a wry sense of humour John

I could always download what I want and wait in anticipation for an emulator
