well i type this:
cd ~/MyDocs/psx (hit enter)
psx4m -cyclemult 3 -runcd crash1.bin (hit enter)

thats presuming you have a game called 'crash1.bin' in a folder called 'psx'
in the n900 folder (MyDocs)

------------------------------------------

on another note ive been trying to add this to a .desktop file so i can just hit an icon on my homescreen and have it launch the game,
but it never works
always gives me 'internal error xterm closed'
does anyone know a way around that?

this is what ive got so far:

Exec=osso-xterm "cd ~/MyDocs/psx && psx4m -cyclemult 3 -runcd crash1.bin"

i did mate
but .desktop files dont recognise the && command
at least thats what i learned a while ago
the solution that time was to make a script and have the desktop file launch the script
but that aint working either
and when i try to chmod u+x the script psx4m wont work from the usual xterm way
im way out of my depth here of course!
and im only trying to do this cos i keep forgetting what to type into xterm to launch the games!

make script contain this:

Code:

#!/bin/sh
cd /home/user/MyDocs/psx
psx4m -cyclemult 3 -runcd crash1.bin

Desktop file line:

Code:

Exec=/FOLDER/FOLDER2/YOUR_SCRIPT

Exec=osso-xterm "/home/user/MyDocs/psx/psx4m -cyclemult 3 -runcd crash1.bin"

because crash1script does not receive +x permission! This is not able under MyDocs, cuz this is vfat partition. Copy your script to '/home/user'

hmm, i tried now, and working...

my desktop file:

Code:

[Desktop Entry]

Encoding=UTF-8

Version=1.0

Type=Application

Name=kula
Exec=/home/user/kula

X-Osso-Type=application/x-executable

and my script(/home/user/kula):

Code:

#!/bin/sh
cd /home/user/MyDocs
psx4m -cyclemult 3 -runcd Kula_World.bin

First try run your script from terminal with 'sh SCRIPTNAME' command. This will show errors!
