Run Picodrive on an A925?

I just got my A925 today and I heard about this Picodrive. It seems like a really nice emulator, but, I'm kinda new to stuff like this, so can someone please help me out? Do I need any special apps and what version of Picodrive shall I pick etc?

Thanks man. I got it to work. Played Sonic. No sound tho. :/

The developers of PicoDrive - Lars and Dave are working on it.

Aha... Thought so. That's what I've told all my firends.

"Why isn't there sound?"
"It'll come..."

Well,PicoDrive has preliminary sound support for games using the 68K processor.The Z80 which is used in many games is not emulated.

Do you have any idea how to get the emulator to shut down when you have it running full-screen in locked mode?

On my phone it seems to ignore the power button and I have to pop the battery, which wouldnt be so bad apart from the fact that the phone takes longer to fire up than my ancient PC!!

press the power button to jump out of full screen mode, and tap the picodrive menu att the top at the scrren
