Does anyone know of a good SNES emulator for the TyTn II? I have already searched the forums and have found that most of the posts about this subject are quite dated. I am currently using PocketSnes by Bleeding edge, but the sound on this emulator is of poor quailty. Also, for some reason, this seems to run remarkably better on my Mogul? I have downloaded different versions of this software, apparently 'upgrades' and they do have more game compatibility, but they sacrifice alot of FPS (about 5, but when your only getting 30 FPS, 5 is alot.). SnesJ4U also seemed like a good alternative, and the sound on it is beautiful, the problem is, iirc, that it doesnt allow for a boxed-landscape display. Does anyone know of a good, up-to-date emulator that can hit over 35 FPS on a TyTN II, not overclocked and running the previous HTC ROM (the one before WM 6.1) and run in boxed-landscape mode?

The reason threads regarding this topic are dated is because people read them and don't find a need to post a new thread. CLICK HERE
No offence, but that search link was the exact thing I searched for and it didnt help much. And your post, by the way, does not seem to make sense.
People say not to make new threads if there is already an existing thread about a subject. By your logic, if a subject has no thread made about it, then it is not important. Should people just never make new threads? This has only now become a problem because the older emulators do not seem to run well on current HTC phones for some reason, in fact, alot of my programs seem slower. I was wondering if there are any newer alternatives yet and since I have found no information about that from the search function, I figured it was worth posting about. But, anyways, thanks for your help.

Damn... you get 25 FPS?? I'm using MorphGear... and although i don't have a fps counter, i think i'm having less than 14.
Anyhow... at least with morphgear.. although the sound is great (16bit, 44100khz, stereo, interpolated, echoed etc) the speed sucks. even if i disable sound completly... the speed sucks. tried with SM All Stars, and Chrono Trigger.

If you post in a existing thread it brings it to the front of the line...
Actually, im getting around ~30 FPS average, ~20 FPS in some of the slower parts of games and shooting to ~40 in faster parts (with minimal action). Most of these tests have been done with Chrono Trigger and Secret of Mana, They were run when I completely disabled sound though. I also recommend against using n0p's Snes ports. I dont mean any offence to him, but his roms seem to be a trade-off in performance for compatibility. Im running my emus on an AT&T Tilt with a 5200 chipset, I have a 5201 it runs the games about ~1-2 FPS faster on average, nothing amazing. I thought that by now there would be a better (updated) version of PocketSnes that could emulate sound like on Snes9xJ4U. I still have to try running them with another ROM, but im not flashing my device till next week (long story).
I got my current emulator here http://paqpark.nuclearfallout.net/projects/pocketsnes.php
snesx9j4u would be awesome if you could get to play in landscape but is not as compatible as morphgear and as far as speed you to use shogunmarks rom of death no offense to anyone else that cooks but for me that rom is definitely faster that the others. once again i totally respect and appreciate all the people
here at xda developers with out them my tilt would be useless
cook pocketsnes into a ROM
Thanks for the tip, neva dinova, I will try out that rom first thing next week and see how everything runs.

this is not that he is saying, and if you're assuming this is so, i dont think you understand the etiquette of this or any other forum. What he is saying is if someone posted a topic that says "how to i accomplish A" its bad for you, or anyone else to come in after the fact and make another post with the subject of "how do i accomplish A" version 2. all this is doing is polluting the boards, and creating a lot of excess material that comes up when people actually do lengthy and thorough searches.
If that still doesn't make sense, when person 3 finally comes around as is going to search for the same topic, they're going to find not 1, but 2 topics. now imagine if, on some subjects this were multiplied by 2,3,4,5 or even 10 as far as the search results. it kinda makes searching more time consuming an redundant. Even if you're having some problems w/ a newer version of roms, or newer version of NES emulators, STILL post it in the FIRST topic...all related material should always be in the same post...always
Again, I searched and found nothing. How can you guys not understand that? Its people like you that ruin forums. I am asking a valid question that has not been brought up before and allinstead of actually helping or adding to the conversation you just make useless posts about the search function which I USED IN THE FIRST PLACE. But, if you can prove to me that I used the search function incorrectly by providing me a link to a thread where a topic about this subject has already been created I will admit that im wrong and your right.
i'm not saying you didn't search buddy...but judging by the way you reacted to an above poster, and judging by what you posted in your above post. you didn't understand the guidelines as far as posting. regardless, if you had any questions, you would have been better off first making your reply in the exiting thread, then started a new topic if no replies were made. thats all i'm saying
Okay, I know what your saying, and for the last time, I SEARCHED before posting. Not only that, but I found somone asking the same (or at least a similar) question that I just asked in a thread with a different topic, however, no one has responded to him so far and its been a good half year. I think I had the right to create a new thread on this topic.
I dont understand what problem some people have where whenever somone makes a new thread, they almost s*** themsleves if its not relavant to them.
So explain to me how I did not follow the 'posting guidlines'?

Hello there. I am seriously considering buying this phone and was wondering whether I should or not. Basically all the reviews are saying the same thing: that it has a lot of features that are well implemented, but it's way too slow. I was wondering just how much the tweaks and the available cooked ROMs sped things up, because I really, really want this phone.
Also, what apps from WM5 work on this device? I'm not really sure because of the VGA screen. Does PocketIRC work? What about PocketMusic? I know some applications work and others don't, I'd sort of like to know which, though :/
That information is all available in other topics. You are number #3213423 to post a topic whether he should buy it or not. We cannot decide for you. Read the possibilities yourself and make a decision. This thread, unfortunately like many, is completely useless.
i'll advice you to buy it only if you promise never to post again before you search and read all useless posts (like yrs) and reviews (full of them here and on the internet) that were written on subject. best advice: try google "diamond reviews" (so simple...)
if you don't agree with the above, than buy a polaris and go pest the polaris forum
Well that was completely rude. I decided to ask instead of searching through the hundreds of thousands of posts on this forum before I finally maybe found what I wanted. This is an GENERAL Diamond forum and people can ask whatever questions they want here, whether you choose to answer it is up to you.
Also I have done tons of research, about as much research as someone would do before they're about to shell out $600 for a phone, but the reviews don't really tell you how much cooked ROMs and tweaks help, do they?
If you pricks don't want to help me, fine. I'll ask on another, friendlier forum.
if you''l only be willing to use yr head. go to the "diamond ROM development", there are 7-8 threads with cooked ROMs. read them. usually there is one post regarding the ROM and lots of posts with comments on the ROM. read! you have even benchmarking with all ROMs:

If you'd really done tons of research you would know that cooked ROMs really do help. That loads of software is available and that the phone is found brilliant by many users. Questions about battery, GPS etc are all easy to find. And as I've mentioned, you are not the first with these questions. You just had to look for a similar topic and you would also get the answers.
Whether or not you should buy it is completely personal. No one can enter your mind to have exactly your standards.

flash it
this will make you happy.....
annd will make a good phone even beter!
So what do you think guys..Would it be wise for me to sell my kaiser over an IPhone? If not, please argue your response. I know this is a Windows Mobile thread, but I guess you can give me some objective answers.
Btw, if someone passed from IPhone to Kaiser or similar WinMob phone, I'd be very interested to hear from because I heard lots of users passing to IPhone but not the other way around.
Thanks!

I did exactly that, I had the Hermes (Cingular's 8525) and used this forum and ROMs from here and I thought all was great but I got into the hype and waited in line on opening day and got the Iph0ne (1st Gen)...
I used it for about a year (a little more) and well just got tired of it for me and my needs... Now I have the Kaiser (tilt) and I am not missing the Iph0ne.
Answering your question requires more information.
It entirely depends on what you use your phone for.
I find that having the full, hardware keyboard makes email, note taking, and appointment management much easier than on an iPhone.
So, what do you use your phone for?

Wow! What an open ended question.
Reference
Three cupcake roms
Fourteen Donut roms
Fourteen Eclair roms
Twelve Hero/SenseUI roms (with 1.5 - Donut)
Ten Hero/SenseUI roms with (2.1 - Eclair)
Three Blur roms (with 1.5 - Donut)
So we have a total of (pulling up calculator app) 56 different roms. And what was the question you were asking? Oh yeah... which one is our favorite? What kind of answer are you expecting? Do you want speed? Stability? Working bluetooth? Working Wi-Fi? Required DeathSPL? Required sdcard partitioning? Asking such a question is going to give you mixed results with very biased opinions. My advice is to first flash Amon_Ra's recovery, use nandroid to backup what you have and try some out for yourself. Make sure that you read the requirements for each rom first. I seriously doubt that anyone has tried all 50+ roms so any answer that you receive from such a question is going to be very biased. If you want my opinion though and I'm assuming that you do I suggest using a rom made by Cyanogen. Which one depends on your setup. If you want to run a fairly stable Eclair rom you can try test2 but be warned that it requires the DeathSPL which has been known to brick phones. Most Hero/SenseUI roms(with the exception of Micro Hero (1.5 - Donut)) require the DeathSPL rom as well and I believe that all 2.0 and 2.1 - Eclair roms require it too. However note that most Hero roms don't have working bluetooth on the G1. So you have a great user interface but you sacrifice a little bit of sdcard space and a working bluetooth connection. Plus the risk of bricking your phone is a turnoff for some newbies. So if you don't want to risk bricking your phone and have a hard time following instructions then I would skip that particular SPL and stick with that one that you have (assuming that you don't already have it of course.)
Now some roms require a properly partitioned SD card. That is FAT/ext 2/3 or 4/Swap. This is most Hero/SenseUI roms. Some may require ext3 while others may require something different. So again... you'll have to read up on the requirements and experiment for yourself.
You don't want to flash the Danger SPL and don't feel like reformating your SDCARD with separate partitions? Well... looks like your stuck with very few options. Less than half if I calculated accurately. So I guess it boils down to what you have now, what you are willing to do to experiment, what you want in regards to functionality versus stability.
Good luck.
He wants to know which one YOU like. He's not asking for a suggestion. He's not asking for links to ones. He's not asking which one is fastest. He's not asking which one is most stable. He's not asking how to do it. He's not asking where to get them.

My point to this is that what is your favorite is not necessarily going to be mine. I prefer Cyanogen's rom, but clearly your preference differs. Which is exactly my point. And all this is going to mean absolutely nothing to him unless he actually tries them for himself. So how can one measure the best rom? Doesn't everybody have different taste? Doesn't everybody run different amount of screen with a variety of apps and widgets? No one is the same so asking for "the best" or even "What do you use?" is actually kind of a rhetorical question because in the end it's up to him to try the ones that interest him and all of our comments and suggestions mean nothing. What if everyone replies "Use Cyanogen's 5.0.7 rom" and the OP doesn't have the DangerSPL and doesn't want to risk bricking his device? What if he uses Wi-Fi and bluetooth constantly? What if he just has a 512mb class 2 sdcard? Does he want a large variety of themes or is he comfortable with the stock look?
Since we don't know how can we really give proper input? And you don't need to look far to know what other people use. Just look at the Development thread. The thread with the most input should tell you something right there. I honestly wouldn't trust a rom that has been out for a a couple months with no updates and only a couple pages of replies. However commonly used roms such as Cyanogen's, MLIGNS, bbuchacher, HTCCLay, dwang, manup456, KiNgxKxlicK, etc all have reputations of being very good roms. Some are great for eye candy, some are great for stability, others for speed.
Indeed he asked for our opinion and what we use... but the fact of the matter is that new roms are released/updated almost daily. So to suggest one today may not be a fair suggestion tomorrow. And if the OP just wants to know what we use and doesn't like suggestions... then this post is kind of useless in my opinion because that's all he's going to get.

I'm with borodin that new ROMs come almost everyday, but narrow it down to a branch or two. You really generally have 1 or 2 favorite branches. Mine is cyanogenmod and Dr. Cloverdale's (which is just cyanogenmod). So my favorite ROM is cyanogen. Sure today it's test3 and in a week it will be test4, but that won't change the fact that cyanogenmod is still made by cyanogen. Either way, I'll still use cyanogen.
This would be better in General. This isn't exactly a Q&A. Would that have made it better for both of you?
I mean seriously, when your friend asks you what your favorite soda is, do you sit there and try to explain to him that what what you like isn't going to apply to him because he might like a small amount of sugar and you like a lot of sugar?

Exactly. It's just a fun, curiosity thread. I'm curious where the trends are going. Why all the angst and hatred? You don't want me going to another thread with tales of bigotry and all-around asshattery, do you?
Don't get your blood pressure up over it, I'm just simply curious how people prioritize, expanding my horizons.
Didn't expect to have to kick off my own thread, but here goes. I like the new version of Cyanogen. It's fast, as stable as I can tell, no force crashes in my experience, and my battery doesn't really drain any worse than it did before.
Hehe, this thread might as well have asked "Who are the high strung a holes around this forum?" because that's the answer I got.
I am sorry if this was misplaced. I'm still getting used to the organization of this forum, being a new member and all, just trying to soak up as much information as I can from others. The ones that are generous enough to allow it, that is.

I am sorry if this was misplaced. I'm still getting used to the organization of this forum, being a new member and all, just trying to soak up as much information as I can from others. The ones that are generous enough to allow it, that is.

This PROBABLY would have fit better in General, but here isn't as bad as nubs flooding the Android Development section with questions. Plus, you're new. All forums are different with the way that the consider sub-forums should be used. It's all in experience.
I agree, when I first read I was like, wtf? Did they even read the TITLE or just click and post?
My favorite is cyanogenmod as well (now). I honestly like the donut more, though. Donut just seems to be more snappy and stable and ANY Eclair. Maybe Eclair will eventually evolve, which I believe it will, and then it will be an everydayer, but I don't see that as of now.

Yeah, it does get a little old maintaining a test/experimental build if I don't have time to live in my PC chair.

Very true. Once it's stable it will be awesome, though.
Okay, so thanks to some members for helping me find this homescreen replacement. However, I have searched for hours looking for some kind of mod for this thing, and I haven't found a one. Is it not possible to manually tweak settings like color, for instance? I can't believe this UI isn't as hyped as I find it to be.
So, can we get some devs on this to give us some tweaks and start a thread?
I know what you mean. I just d.l.'d it and really like the design/idea of it all. Right now it is very limited to what you can tweak. If you go to thier website and check out the forum over there, alot of people are giving thier ideas of what they would like to see done to this app. Hopefully the dev's are listening....

Yeah, but I think the requests are falling on deaf ears. Multiple people are saying over in their forums are saying they are simply doing compatibility updates now. I thought some Devs here at XDA could take matters into their own hands. But I just don't think there are enough people interested in it, you know? At the time of this post, 395 views of this thread and only one reply. Supply and demand, we need more people to speak up!
Very true. I'm gonna hang on to the free version for a while and see what happens. Time will tell.
I stick using this for a long time. a bit sad I couldn't "beautify" my home like others do. but in my opinion the standards color scheme are the best there is. and don't you think modding it (like adding a shortcut to one page of widget screen or a dash of power control which I really want as an upgrade) is the same as altering the whole program? is that against licencing problem? I'm quite a noob in this area...

I have no idea. It seem's that it would be, but then again, people are porting SENSE over to non-HTC devices as well, so who knows? I don't know if the free version is open source or not.
