mv: 'cannot rename 'home/user/MyDocs/SegaCD BIOS V2.00': No Such file or directory

Why is it saying that? i have the bios bin file in the main area when i check it on the n900 file manager. Did i do something wrong? any help would be greatly appreciated -_-.

I have no problem helping, but come on, a little effort on your part isn't gonna kill you. Everything you need to know has been said already multiple times in this very same thread.
Read this. "SegaCD BIOS V2.00" isn't a valid BIOS file name. Rename it to one of the valid ones.

Then read this. Respect uppercases/lowercases, don't insert blanks where they don't belong, don't forget to include the file extension when typing the file name, and use the "Tab" button. It will make your life easier.

If you feel like learning a bit more xterminal skills, there are plenty of tutorials in the web. It would be beneficial, not only for this case but for many uses of your N900. You can start here:

why dont you install SSH server on phone then connect to it via PC so much easier then commands.

here is a pic i have taken, if you look you can see where the files are and what they are called.

I am sorry for the trouble bro. Especially since i am sure you get a bunch of request. I want to let you know that you and everyone else here has been a great help to newbies like me >.<.

BTW i did get it to work by what you mentioned which was renaming the BIOS. Now it is working like a charm with minor slow down from time to time. Not sure what causes that But other than that i am definitely excited to show my iPhone loving friend Samurai showdown and Final Fight on my phone (which btw just came out on Xbox live but now i have it portable ^_^)

Ronaldo. That definitely looks like an easier way. its called SSH server you said? what if i dont have Vista or 7?I am currently running XP SP3 and Mac OSX.

Thanks again guys! you all are awesome.

install ssh server on phone and set password, make sure wifi is on the phone and pc, and download winscp and enter IP address of the phone and root and the password you set. done

@javicq

re: the save issue, i have created a folder within my rom folder called saves, this is located in MyDocs so i can easily copy the roms over in mass storage mode, they load fine and picodrive can see the folder. when i play the game it runs perfectly of course however when i then backspace and try save i get a "faled" notification. if i however close and re-start picodrive it will allow me to save...

the version im using is 1.32

Any news on your 3D engine ? (3d text screen saver for me) ;);););)

Re: Mega Drive/Genesis emulator for Maemo
 
I have found that some games dont work with picodrive at the moment, should we make a list or something?

virtua racing is one of them and a few of the megacd games, battlecorps as an example, mortal kombat. vurtua racing would be a bonus but uses the svp chip or whatever it was called is that a problem with most emulators?

Also will there be support for 32x in the future?

Virtua Racing uses the SVP chip. Later versions of PicoDrive have perfect ARM optimised support for it but the source-code is not yet released.
I'm beta tester for the latest GP2x/Wiz PicoDrive version which introduces 32x support and an ARM dynarec for the 2 RISC CPUs . 32x works great already on the Wiz so the chances are very high that the N900 will handle it too.
Some more features that are in the pipeline are Master System and lightgun support over touchscreen.
Notaz, the coder behind PicoDrive stated, that he wants to release the source once he finished it.
So javicq may add this features in the future for the N900 if he wants and have time to do it...

Here's a video of Chaotix running on the Wiz:

Re: Mega Drive/Genesis emulator for Maemo
 
I seem to recall playing 32x games on gens a few years ago, it worked well. such a shame that virtua racer doesn't work, also a shame that development seems to have stopped on psx4all, seems everyone is just waiting for pr1.2

I cant believe it's taking nokia so long! :(

will have to play hard-driven over and over, just pretending :(

One more questions, will there be support for diagonal buttons in the future? I do so wish there was support for touchscreen joystick type action.

sorry I just looked in the options and found em, what a knob is me!
