apt-get install leafpad
by the way i dont think you need to root to do this anyway
open terminal then type:
leafpad(space)/home/user/.muplen64plus/muplen64.conf or something i forgot the file name but its the only config with named muplen64...then look for pause or something at the bottom and edit it..close leafpad, it will as to save and yes save it.

I've even tried to use the code from the second post in this thread, which also gives some ideas about editing configs, and I get the same blank result. I have installed and enabled root, I see the # symbol in terminal. Any ideas?

Let me start with an apology, being a moderator of a car forum myself, I know how painful newb posts are. But believe me, I wouldn't ask the following questions if I hadn't spent quite a bit of time trying to find the answers myself.

Firstly, I've downloaded some files from the archive on the first page of this thread: http://depot.javispedro.com/nit/64/

I have the tar.gz file mupen64plus-n900gui-20100627, which I have stored under /n900/. I have moved it between there and /n900/Documents/ in an effort to extract it via various commands in Xterminal. with no luck. I have Gzip installed on my N900.

I have searched Maemo.org and many other places for the correct commands (for example. "tar zxvf filename.tar.gz"), but all of them end up with the error "tar: can't open 'mupen64plus-n900gui-20100627l.tar.gz': No such file or directory". This is regardless of where I place the file using file manager. I am new to Linix, and am familiar with DOS commands, but as mentioned Linux is all new to me.

So, at the risk of angering IzzehO , perhaps someone could give me a bit of a hand? Also perhaps explain how the filing system on the N900 (mountiing, etc); or just a link.

I have read this thread start to finish and have a good handle on the errors with mupen64plus, so my problem is sort of outside this.

Regards, Tim

This is something I find confusing about this forum and inconjunction with the N900 - people often talk about and area called -Extras-Dev which has all these great programs, but I can't find it anywhere.
