Mike's Place -- the game autoruns just fine, and I can move between the different menu options. It's just that the Enter button doesn't do anything.

igorsk -- I re-downloaded sudoku.zip, and reinstalled. The .xml file is dated 2/10.

curtw -- I see 600-something games, so my SD card layout should be OK.

Perhaps I'd have more luck if another button was used instead of Enter -- say, Size or Mark, since I don't have any hacks installed that involve them. Does anyone know a quick way to alter autorun.xml to do that? I poked around the file, but I don't really understand it.

Thanks again!

This is really strange! I'm trying to understand such behavior and still have no idea why it happens. PRS-500 is not a PC, firmware of all Readers is basically the same. I've tried hundred of times on my 2 PRS-500 (unmodified, and modified with joystick redirection), and PRS-505 (redirection of the joystick). I've never experience any problem neither with ENTER nor loosing the page. I tried with SD and MemoryStick (PRS-500) and SD (PRS-505). No other files on the cards.

Up to now I have no idea whats going wrong.

From my experience, sometimes formating the card is needed to work with autorun (if there were many replacement of the files on the card). So I suggest format the card (quick format is enough) and try again. Let me know if the problem is still there, I can write some diagnostic script, to figure out the reason.

2. Is there a way to "save" and resume a game in an intermediate state, so I can go read a book and come back to Sudoku later? I only seem to be able to quit without saving, and always re-start in a new, randomly-selected game the next try.
1. Not possible
2. Planning to do in the coming versions.
