If somebody is doing a 2006 OS version could you please add simon 1 and 2 support?

Simon is supported in my alternate port of scummvm for a long time http://fanoush.webpark.cz/maemo/#scummvm Thing is that cracked versions of Simon floating on the net intentionally do not work in most newer versions of scummvm.

As for the 2006 OS I'm working on it. Flashed device yesterday, downloaded all new SDKs but haven't installed them yet. But recompiling and repackaging should be straightforward, maybe even easier than for the 2005 OS. I hope I'll do it in next few days.

OK 0.8.2 version for 2006 OS is ready, get it from page mentioned above, link named '0.8.2 OS2006'.

Thanks. It works but it needed a reboot to show up under extras. Simon 1 runs, but its missing keymapping.

fanoush, please put your application on the 2006 catalog.
You can find it here: http://maemo.org/maemowiki/ApplicationCatalog2006

Yes, noticed that too. Don't know if it is my fault or the beta OS thing.
Except the 'y' for confirming quit I'm not aware of any other key needed. But I did not play the game too much. Which key is missing? To exit you can just turn off fullscreen mode and close the scummvm window.

Nevermind, I'm an idiot. I forgot that simon doesn't use a save menu like scumm games but a save card in the inventory. Another thing though. There is no scumm icon showing that the app is currently running, so if you minimize it, you can't get back or quit it.

Seems to be new bug in OS https://maemo.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=539

As for the menu item and reboot, workaround to show the item without reboot is Control panel->Task navigator->Organize->Done

This was packaging mistake. Even if it worked, correct directory for shortcuts is /usr/share/applications/hildon not usr/share/applications like in 2005 version. Package was updated. There is no need to reinstall if you already have shortcut in menu working. Also now there is unstable version from SVN trunk for IT2006 too (with Kyrandia enabled). Still no icon in task manager so after minimizing you cannot access it without trying to start and minimize other applications.

New version 0.8.2-2 have a workaround for task navigator bug/feature https://maemo.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=539 so the icon now works in 2006 beta.
