How to install DrNokSNES and VGBA on N900? HELP
 

Hey guys I kinda not so good with Maemo terminal shell command. Would you guys kindly tutoring me on how to installing software from the commandline.

I installed it using the Maemo Extras-Devel. if you just wont install these apps then:

Open aplication manager and add a new application catalogue and type exactly as follows.

Catalogue name : maemo extras-devel
web address : http://repository.maemo.org/extras-devel
distribution : fremantle
components: free non-free

then save.

Word of warning though this area is for testing and apps could brick your device.

Also you have to install zeemote before you can install drNokSNES.
Just use the search function in the app manager.

Here is a way to manually install .deb files via the terminal.

A word of warning you will have root access and if you don't know what you are doing you can really screw up your device.

Also, be careful using or installing applications that have not been throughly tested as they could potential brick or otherwise harm the N900.

1) Download armel.deb files to a temporary directory
2) Open a terminal window
3) type "sudo gainroot" then press enter
4) use "cd" to change to the directory you downloaded to (the memory card is "cd /media/mmc1/")
5) dpkg -i drnoksnes_1.2.4_armel.deb (replace with the whatever filename you downloaded).
6) once the install is complete type "exit" then press enter

Re: How to install DrNokSNES and VGBA on N900
 

Hi! Tnx for the info. But I used that method when Drnoksnes was unavailable via repository.

I mean this file: drnoksnes-20091213-n900.

If u can help me, u can help all!!.

By the way, anybody know something about Mame4All for Linux, ported to N900?

There will be excellent to play NeoGeo games on N900.

Bye all.

Re: How to install DrNokSNES and VGBA on N900
 

The DrNokSNES has been removed permanently from the Repo. So your best bet is to download it and do a local installation on your device. Follow the tutorial above.

Re: How to install DrNokSNES and VGBA on N900
 

still is available via the qole repository. v1.2.4

http://qole.org/repository/pool/frem....2.4_armel.deb

Re: How to install DrNokSNES and VGBA on N900
 

Hi. I downloaded it about three weeks ago. But there is another version, newer.
It´s the version y refered previously. Curioulsy it doesen`t has extension.
I have to know how to install it.

It´s not a .deb file.

Bye.

Re: How to install DrNokSNES and VGBA on N900
 

Mame would be sick on the n900!!! Is that even possible on the n900?

Re: How to install DrNokSNES and VGBA on N900
 

yeah!!!

Or via SDLMame, or via Mame4all for Linux.

Re: How to install DrNokSNES and VGBA on N900
 

the latest version i'm aware of is 1.2.4, and that's exactly the version missingbyte linked to.

where did you get the file you mentioned? if it's a .tar.gz file, it probably contains the source code, which you would have to compile first, and that's not a trivial task for non-developers.

also, according to the last submits for this project, there haven't been that many changes since 1.2.4...

Hi.

Check this out.

Re: How to install DrNokSNES and VGBA on N900
 

ah yes.
well, this guy compiled it himself from the sources that i linked to, it's not an "official" version...

if you already have that file, it's probably the executable itself. i don't know if it'll run just like that, but you can try:

copy it to /home/user or /opt (anywhere but MyDocs is good, because MyDocs is a VFAT partition and doesn't support the next step that is needed)
then make it executable
then you can (or cannot, as i said i have no idea if it'll work) run it using "/opt/<drnoksnes_filename>"

I will check this out later.

By the way, do u own N900?
