Sounds like you are doing everything correctly - just tried with the same files you have mentioned and they work fine for me.
I have question marks for the files too and they are just stored in Documents/GameGear Roms
I don't see any save files though.

1) maybe the ROM is broken
2) maybe the ROM is not compatible with MasterGear
3) maybe the special characters in the filename cause trouble with MasterGear

Ok I uninstalled the emulator, reinstalled it.

renamed one of the games to only have letters and underscores, tried to load it and nothing.

I have just read here:
http://maemo.org/packages/package_in...el/mg/2.6.5-1/

that the package is missing dependencies do you think this will have an impact?

I've just received some rom files that work for someone else, and they don't work for me.

Just for reference my version of MasterGear is :2.6.5-1

Is this the latest version I should be using?

Hmm... the emulator doesn't work for most european keyboard layout.

We have the up and down keys only with a modifier. And games are so unplayable. Only Wonderboy and games like this works. But Sonic is unplayable.

It is possible to remap the keys?

could some do me a favour and in the menu it the debugger button. Do you get an error saying the screen is too small?

I still can't get this working. all I get is a white square in the middle of the black screen when trying to load files. but if I try load the debugger I get an error saying the screen is too small.
I've contacted the author but nothing yet...

What's the Difference between the Versions 2.6.3-1 and 2.6.5-1?

There is on-screen joypad as well.

It is possible if you use the version from Extras-Devel.

The 'screen is too small' bug happens with a few rom files. The shining force games being one of them. This Emulator is no where near polished or complete yet but its really not too bad. It needs better compatibility and the author should implement an easy way to configure user key bindings(cant be that difficult)
