There are lots of free/opensource games for Mame. If you want a copyright game, most PC versions of MAME come with tools and instructions for how to purchase the game and extract the data you need to run it in the emulator.

ipk files are purchased . There are one or two free opensource ipk based files out there, but they're rare. Again, there are instructions for how to take ipk games off a pre after purchasing them.

Personally, I'd love to see someone offer up an ipk for the Pre store, so people could run that in preenv and purchase pre games right on the N900.

Why would you want to steal this? It's not expensive, and you can buy it right from your N900 on the OVI store. They took the time and money to support this platform. If you want to use it, pay for it.

Search the h-e-n thread. There are at least 15 links in that thread alone to sites that sell various connectors.


Try cleaning the contacts. If it's phasing in and out, it's probably a dirty connector. Best method is to use a soft pencil eraser (the pink rubbery type). If it were a software bug it would be widely reported, and/or wouldn't work at all.
