what if there was only one link to QA queue at the first post and instructions about the karma? IMO that would be hundred times better.
plus of course a link to: http://wiki.maemo.org/Help_testing_software
edit: oh, that was wrong, I was under the impression there was a hierarchy to each list in this thread.

good point, I'll see if there is a logical way to link it to somewhere else too.

- DOSBox - works okay, old DOS games work.. NFS 1 runs very poorly and slowly. games like duke nukem 1 (NOT 3d) will be about the best you will get to run..(?)
- Duke Nuken 3D CD Version - works better than shareware version, though only useable if you own the original game)
- midnight commander - great way to start transferring and editing files
- msaber - runs, but when i used it it was very poor and didnt work
- Powatool - couldnt live without this one. status menu is configurable (hide and show only), and you can toggle the nokia boot video to quicken device startup.
- qtirreco - runs, havent tested functionality
- usbcontrol - comes with maemo-pc connectivity - configure usb.......... works, can set usb network

QtIrreco: Works OK. I am able to use it with both of my TVs.

I wouldn't say VGBA works perfectly. It is stable but the framerate and sound emulation make it an unenjoyable experience.

I can provide feedback on the app "Shutter." It works on D90 (probably any Nikon DSLR). Just remember to reboot after installation.

This is a lot more useful than Karma, which is just a number. Comments give you a direct idea of where a problem lies.
It's nice to have a table with brief comments on the strength and weakness of programs in general. If someone makes a comment that is wrong, someone else can correct it.
Yes, you can find out a lot of information by going through threads or reading bug reports. Especially if you are prepared to make a full-time job out of deciding which programs to try.

Ahmadka, I am glad you are doing this.
Fellows, I do not understand the amount of energy you are putting in convincing the O.P. and everyone else that this thread is an exercise in futility. I find it laudable that you are all voting karma points to applications that merit them. I think it is awesome that you are testing the software and helping make each program better until it is safe to install for everybody. I am not being sarcastic. I truly thank you. We all need your efforts and benefit from them.
But we also need something simple and direct like this thread.
If I have to look through a dozen locations (I am exaggerating, I know. You get my point) and read diverse definitions to know whether I can install some program or not, then my use of the N900 will become conditioned to having available time to learn about things that I am used to doing intuitively. And I am one of the absolute supporters of this technology. I cannot imagine how someone who is on the fence will feel.
And you know what? We need every single one of those. If our beloved N900s do not sell, and sell very well, what do you think will happen? 5 years from now, it will be rather pointless to remain proud about owning a device that was better than anything out there, but that was so impractical that only some units were sold. The proud and the few will not make this a successful product. Look at the Iphone and the IPad. They are both crap and we all know it. But they sell in huge numbers. Those are not niche products in danger of being terminated, because everyone out there wants them, regardless of whether they have multitasking or not. They sell like apple pancakes and that is all the karma they need.
Keep going Ahmadka. I will contribute to your thread as soon as I receive my N900 this weekend.

Is someone watching this thread to see if important information is mentioned that developers should know about? If not, why not?
