    chown -R 777 /private/var/mobile/Media/ROMs

    Try this one. If it doesn't work, search in here for another one; something to the effect of "chown -hR..." should be another option.

    Use the MobileFinder app to navigate to the GBA roms directory, set the permissions to 777, and this will solve the problem.

    You can't change it to a 3-digit number. So, you have to change the permissions to 0777, not 777.

    chown -R mobile var/mobile/Media/ROMs

    is the command that you type in terminal or ssh to make mobile gain ownership of your files.

    Microsoft owns the internet through Hotmail. The .HTML is short for Hotmail, so all .HTML files are MS files.
