MasterGear 2.6.6 use in Nokia N900 for games

**Priyamada** · 31-01-2011

I have Nokia N900 I installed this MasterGear 2.6.6 from the Maemo catalogue last week but I can't discover the 3x zoom option from the MasterGear game from the manu. The screen only comes into view as a little square in the middle. Do I need to enable 3x zoom for the game? The version is 2.6. I m think that the game is not compatible with the Nokia N900 whenever I have a maemo on it. So is it possible to have this game in Nokia N900.

I had a look in the file scheduled by dpkg and it did appear to have an extra / in it to work the zoom properly. From /usr1/share/applications/Hilden/mg.desktop (highlighted in red):

Code:

MimeType=application/x-sms;application/x-gg;application/x-sc3000;application/x-sg1500;/application/x-sf7000

Though I don't truthfully know if this will make a variation. It may be that dpkg reports it but then it's auto-corrected in the mime files?

The whole message from dpkg on install:

Code:

Unpacking mg (from mg_2.6.3-1_armel.deb) ...
Setting up mg (2.6.6-1) ...

To start the games with MasterGear 2.6.6 you require game files. MasterGear only follow the hardware of the console and does not enclose any Sega comfort games itself. You will require fix the trouble all the way through uploading the new .deb to the homepage. unluckily, Extras is uncomplaining the current ssh login at the instant, so it may occur that the repository version will have this malfunction for a few days. It's not life-threatening although so can start the game easily with no issue, or you can hang around until the next release.

I have used MasterGear 2.6.6. Inside the Maemo OS2008. MasterGear is an emulator that start the games which is designed for 8bit SEGA consoles: SEGA strategy System, GameGear, Mark2, Mark1, SG-1500, SC-3000, and SF-7000. To know more regarding the MasterGear you will require to download Maemo edition (as straight .deb download for now). It will also follow the SC3000 and SF7000 home PC. This edition comprises the subsequent changes:
• Changed GameGear size feature to x3 when in windowed form.
• Added error memo when cannot start a preliminary file.
• Added filename addition riddle.
• Added appropriate concerning dialog box.
The OS2008 edition should be obtainable from Extras repeatedly. The Maemo5 edition is obtainable from Extras-Testing.
