WOOOOOWWWWW is all I can say really. The performance was amazing. I tested using 1944, which has a lot going on on the screen, didn't really notice any slowdown or performance issues. Using the arrow keys its damn hard to move diagonally up though.

Great work! Now we just need a nice frontend with some config options for keymapping (or I guess I could get used to playing games southpaw). Would it be difficult to map diagonals to keys? I'm not counting on playing any of the fighters with the keyboard but the shoot-em ups/beat-em ups would be great with a little help hitting the diagonals.
can you please explain how the /home/user works, is this a default folder or u need to create it?

is is the root folder when you are in mass storage on the pc?

I can not make heads and tails, please can you help....

1. Download the cps2emu tar.gz file from https://garage.maemo.org/projects/cps2emu/
2. Copy the tar.gz to /home/user/
3. Extract the file
tar -xzvf cps2emu.tar.gz
This will leave you with a folder called cps2emu.
4. Place zipped rom(s) in /home/user/cps2emu/romcnv/
5. Create cache files using romcnv
./romcnv -all
6. Move your zipped rom(s) to /home/user/cps2emu/roms/
7. Move the cache files created in step 5 to /home/user/cps2emu/cache/
8. Launch your game!
from /home/user/cps2emu/
./cps2emu romname

@rn900
/home/user/ is a level below the root level you see in mass storage mode. You need to use the terminal to move the files around and execute the program.

Hi Sadfist,

Thanks for the instructions...unfortunately still can not get this to work...

I am not too familiar with Linux...I have a windows pc and I tried to follow your inst. but HONESTLY don’t get it... you seem to be giving simple instructions but it’s not so simple to me?

Point 1 - Download the cps2emu tar.gz file

You mention to download the tar file...there are two files there...source and bin files: (cps2emu_bin-0.1.tar.gz & cps2emu_src-0.1.tar.gz)...which one do I download and do I download it on my PC or on the N900?

Pont 2 - Copy the tar.gz to /home/user/

Is this folder already created on the phone by default (when brought brand new from shops?) or do you need to create it as new folder as I have not managed to access this if it is supposed to be already there on the N900...maybe I deleted it when I fiddled with it?

Gov...I am sure if you can just help me with the above points I can do this...or a step by step dummy’s guide...or a video...anything....This is the one thing I really wanted to do with the phone!!!!!!!!!!!

Your help would be much appreciated.........Thanks
