i wrote a part of the wiki page, starting from here:

https://leste.maemo.org/Development/...antle_packages

on what should be done by a person to just technically port, package, build and put to maemo-leste store.

Can somebody update UKeyboard Creator for Leste? Or how I should edit keyboard layouts?

Here is UKeyboard Creator for N800-N810 web page:
http://upir.cz/maemo/keyboards/
and current sources (it seems that there is .deb for N900, but how to download it from git??):

Hi all,

I've just created a Picodrive fork working on Leste.

https://github.com/Arno1103/picodrive-leste

It is based on a existing Raspberry fork and works very well on the n900: Megadrive, MegaCD and even 32X game are working.
Of course it needs few improvements like fullscreen mode or easy custom keys mapping.
But it already works at full speed with sound !

The only tricky thing to get it working has been key mapping because it is hardcoded and it was impossible to click on START button. I just modified 2 lines of code to fix it (but a bit hard to find)
No .deb available atm but here is the process to run it easely:

In the directory of your choice:

Code:

git clone https://github.com/Arno1103/picodrive-leste .

Code:

 sudo git submodule update --init --recursive

Code:

sudo ./configure && make

Then run a game:

From the same directory:

Code:

./PicoDrive /<path_to_the_game>/<name_of_the_game>

(for example: ./PicoDrive /home/user/sonic2.md)

And disable hildon composition while playing:
Ctl + Shift + N

Running just

Code:

./PicoDrive

shows the menu UI with all options. Tweaking them allow Virtua Racing Deluxe to run at 25-40 fps (without sound) for example.
('Backspace' for OK/Start button and 'e' for Escape)

I think i'll be able to provide a deb package soon.

Feel free to give your advice or suggestions.
