How to download roms from your phone and play games

[shrop21]

which would you rather be inconvienced with? dealing with ROMs that you can't download (long wait, unknown file, renaming, moving, etc), or just sticking your stick in a reader for a few minutes and a quick file transfer?

btw, have you posted your issues with vista?

good point...i was justing hoping it would work
and no...

"The original issue that Chico was referring to was when he tried to "mount" the SD card to the computer via USB (and in turn "un-mounting" the card from the phone), it will "mount" temporarily to the computer but for only a short time.

During this short time, the computer shows that a new drive is available.

But immediately after it's "mounted" to the computer, the sd card will "re-mount" back to the phone, therefore making it unavailable to the computer since the card can't be "mounted" to both the computer and phone at the same time. The computer is still registering that it's connected, but it isn't available."
-this quote from ezell sums it up well

i started looking into the problem and so far just found this thread about it - link

OK so basically Im at a dead end. I can get roms to work on computers, and ipods but I cant seem to get them to work on the droid to save my life. Crutch is no longer available so Ijust do the computer drag and drop and when I go to play the game its just bunch of brown lines flashing...help...

Not sure why crutch is not available anymore on marketplace. Maybe someone could shed some light on this.

[kstr0h]

is freeroms.com the only site that will work from the phone? if not can someone post more good rom websites?

I followed your instructions and everything worked out find until the last part, once I clicked on the rom that i downloaded it did not play. the screen flashes green and white it looks like the opening shot of a horror film. What happened? It downloaded to my phone just fine, it just wont play. I tried two different roms and both did not work ;(
