TGETFILE.DLL (If you installed PocketNester you don't need it, it already installed it)
Or You can download it from the link below. (P.S. This one won't open zips, but it doesn't BEEP everytime you use it)
http://rapidshare.com/files/84386917/TGETFILE.zip
1. Just unzip it to the Directory with PicoDrive
or
2. Unzip it and place it in the Windows directory of your phone.
3. It's already in my all in one!

Ok...

So for this one. All you have to do is Download the RAR or ZIP (I made it easy now.. YEESH) and unzip/unrar it on your computer first. SO Unzip/Unrar to a directory named something like "PicoDrive" this is how we will refer to it from now on. Then all you have to do is copy the entire directory with the files to your phone. You can do this 2 Ways.

You can use (A) Mass Storage or (B) ActiveSync mode (See Below).

A. Mass Storage
---------------
1. Put the phone in "Mass Storage Mode"
Menu -> Settings -> Connections -> USB -> Mass Storage
This will make your phone act like a USB flash drive on your computer.
2. Hook the USB data cable that came with your phone into your blackjack.
3. Plug your cable into a USB slot on your computer. (It is best to attach directly to USB and not through a HUB)
4. Wait for a few seconds and a removable storage drive should appear. If you have XP it will ask you what you want to do.
5. Open the new Drive through My Computer.
6. Copy you "PicoDrive" Folder to the root of the new drive.
7. Disconnect the Phone from the PC. And check the phone for the default message telling you that you can use your storage card again.
8. Go to Menu-> Applications-> File Explorer and run it.
9. Navigate in File Explorer to the location you dropped your Folder (\Storage Card)
10. Open the "PicoDrive" folder (Just Click the OK button when it's highlighted)
11. then highlight PicoDrive and Run it! (Just Click the OK button when it's highlighted)
11. Next Install the ROMS. (Skip to Bottom of Post)


B. Activesync
-------------
1. Put the phone in "ActiveSync Mode"
Menu -> Settings -> Connections -> USB -> ActiveSync
This will make your phone act like a PocketPC.
2. Plug your phone into the computer and aait for it to connect and detect the phone. (You may need your BlackJack CD)
3. Once the phone is detected ActiveSync will backup the data it needs to and allow you do whatever you wish.
4. After activesync has finished, open "My Computer" You should see "Mobile Device" along with your Drives.
5. Open Mobile device and copy the "PicoDrive"folder to the folder shown. A Window should open and show the files being copied.
6. Once it has finished, On your phone, go to "Menu -> Applications -> File Explorer" and run it.
7. Open the "PicoDrive" folder (Just Click the OK button when it's highlighted)
8. Then highlight PicoDrive and Run it! (Just Click the OK button when it's highlighted)
9. Install some roms and enjoy !! (Skip to Bottom of Post for Rom instructions)

ROMS
----
1. Locate any Genesis ROM(s) (Should End in .BIN, if in .ZIP you must first unzip it.)
2. Create A Folder on your storage card to hold your games for easy access. [\Storage Card\PicoDrive\Roms]
(* If you have lots of ROMS you should organize by letter for easier navigation to the ROM you want and also so PicoDrive does not have to load 200 roms in it's file explorer)
3. Copy all or a just a few of them to your storage card using the same steps as above.
4. Once you have them on your phone, you can start PicoDrive and open a rom.

Troubleshooting
---------------
This emulator seems a little more at ease with changing settings on the fly. But refer back to the other Emulator posts I made for some hints if you are having trouble.

I turned off sound on mine BTW. The games run FLAWLESSLY with out it. With sound, they are kind buggy.

Hey Captain Thank you for sharing your knowledge. I have installed all of your programs now my problem is how to create a shortcut of the program so I can put it on games or something becasue I have to open File Explorer and everything just to reach for the Emulator.

[CaptainPiracy]
