How to install if you do not have firmware 3.2010.02.08

Goto 1st page and download picodrive_1.0-1_armel.deb

copy/download to Documents folder on n900

then open terminal and type "sudo gainroot" enter (you need rootssh installed)

Then type

dpkg -i MyDocs/.documents/picodrive_1.0-1_armel.deb

and it will install and then put your games somewhere on n900 and then browser till you find and load. Enjoy

p.s if you have firmware 3.2010.02.08 just use file manager and click on the file and it will open app manager and install

I think I found a bug; When I select a different rom without restarting Picodrive, the save function fails. I.e. it only works for the one already selected at the start of the program.

Otherwise: Very nice! All tested games so far work flawlessly (I have to say that they were all already known to work on S60 Picodrive, but here they work much better).

Cool!!!
Just tested now with MK3 and works flawlessly.
Only thing, I had to map the keys the first time (There was no default).
Cheers

(shush, don't tell my boss!)

The save state function is the one that doesn't work after selecting a different game.
The 'continue' function after restart does work (luckily, that provides a workaround).

I'm unable to reproduce this, when you save after loading a different ROM the last state of the new rom should be saved (if you haven't played that rom yet, there's no save option at all)

Hmmmm that shouldn't happen either...

Anyone else experiencing these?

Yes, but no problem, I would have remapped my keys anyways.
