Flandry,
I am not sure if this was covered on some other thread, but I tried to install it twice (before and after PR1.1 update) and it crashed just after starting.
If there is any post-install configuration or dependency packages before launching it from hildon desktop please let me know. Otherwise, just tell me what information I can gather that could help you fixing the crashes. I will be happy if I can contribute somehow to get SDLMAME working fine on N900, just can't help on developing/compiling since I am not a developer, but have some skills on Unix/Linux.

Hi to all.
Is it possible to change the dip-switches of games? As it's quite difficult to play with the tiny keyboard, it would be great if we were able to change easily the settings of the game.
In stock MAME, when pressing the ESC key, the GUI shows the possibility to change dip-switches when available.
Thanks in advance.

Thanks sbock. This is why we need to have a discussion on which controls should be mapped to keys and which aren't really necessary. As i am not all that familiar with MAME myself, i welcome thoughts on the matter.
I really appreciate the feedback from everyone. Since there are multiple people with significant efforts on ROM testing, can i ask you to use the wiki (say, this page) so as to keep a single common list? Add new ROMs in alphabetical order in the right category, and make it bold if you can verify a categorization by a previous tester.

Classic example of arbitrary Nokia decision making. Couldn't just fallback to the no brainer of tagging with lat/lon if network isn't accessible, could you Nokia?

One additional comment, I think that it would helpful to establish a percentage to classify the ROMs as "Playable" or "Problematic", since performance is perceived different by each user, so it is subject to interpretation.
By the way, what is the parameter to set in order to show this percentage? Is it defined on mame.ini or directly in the sdlmame-start.sh script?

To all dip-switchers: Be sure to also configure the soft-reset key in the same menu, as youl'll need to reset the game for changes to take effect.

Just a suggestion for the wiki: include the name of the ROM (as in broken section) for a better identification of games.
I've added myself a few more games to the wiki with some information about playbility.

1. Jungle King
2. Bezerk- with samples
3. Juno First
4. Tempest
5. Gaplus
6. Time Pilot
7. Moon Patrol
8. DonPachi
9. Tiger Heli
10. Zaxxon
11. Bottom of the 9th
12. Bubble Bobble
13. Red Baron
14. Block
15. NFL Blitz 2000...... I am kidding of course on this one (has problems on a quad 4 desk top)
Not playable
1. Pacmania (slow)
2. Donky Kong (slow)
Sorry, some of these are dupes from posts above. I have tested a LOT more than the list here, but need to make a list. Most games load up, and about 70% of the games I tried work without issues. I mainly tried games I thought should work, based on 3430 chipset and memory.
Example would be I did not even bother with NFL Blitz or Ridge Racer
