Generally if not a community app i think this is the thread
http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=78515&page=4
But I guess sometimes it's not easy for folks to know if it is/isn't
So maybe we should just have the one thread for everything *shrugs*

Filebox already ported:
http://store.ovi.com/content/204982

No root access yet. I think I can do it, but I think a lot of users will brick their devices (looking at all the crap in the ovi store for N9 I think most of users are not linux users)

You talking about aegis et al?
Check out the main thread on that at meego forum. (last 4 pages particularly interesting)
Positive developments....

Maybe you could make a version for "advanced users" with root access available in apps.formeego.org: http://forum.meego.com/showthread.php?t=4051 ?

This way the people who accidentally bought N9 instead of iPhone could get their Filebox from Ovi and could not mess their phone by moving anything crucial and the others could get a version from community repo.

Hmm, that seems slightly condescending. I think there should only be one version, but maybe it shouldn't be that easy to get into root mode - e.g. you have to type in a password or something.

Yep plus a big fat warning that you can easily break your ph if you don't know what you're doing, or don't research properly 1st etc.

What about enabling root access via the config file? No need for a password, just open /home/user/.config/cepiperez/filebox.conf and set enableRootAccess=false to enableRootAccess=true (example). There's no way this can be performed without prior knowledge.

I would like to see Picodrive for the N9, it's a SEGA Mega Drive emulator with support for the Mega CD.

PCSX ReARMed would be quite nice too. Would be really nice if I could play Chrono Cross on the phone

gpfce is quite fast NES emulator which also can play .nsf sound files.

And the most important one is ScummVM, which is fortunately already on the list and planned to be ported to the N9

Us HP calculator fans would really like to see Free42.
