Haven't tried it though..

yes it's possible and very easy!
I've got installed 4 amulators working fine
for SNES: PocketSNES version 1.12.200
for Sega Genesis: Genesis Plus/PocketPc version 1.06 (GenPP)
for PSX:FPSECE version 0.09.6
for Gameboy Advance: PocketGBA
you can google them or find some of them in the xda-wiki.
all of them work fine in the diamond with vga support, but the best are for SNES and Sega Genesis. the other 2 are a little slow but of cours you can play some games.
tell me if you need any help, I'm new with WM but I've tried lots of things already.

And don't forget morphgear.

Whats it like with gameplay in terms of hardware buttons, etc?

hi,
the pocketsnes i dled the arm version, and when i tried loading up my rom nothing happens, and when i click the screen it leads me to a website, i also notice that everything is slower.
morphgear on the otherhand is tiny, i guess its only for qvga mode.
is there anyway to make one of these work properly?

I really hope that the Diamond/TP can play SNES quite good because my 4 year old Palm T3 with 400MHz has no problems with 320 x 480.

Morphgear
If you want an on screen controler you have to use a vga skin.
The default is only for qvga.

Why do you answer when you have no clue?
It is possible! Just use google.

Emulation Speed

Has anyone tried to play any console emulators on the X1 yet? I would like to see how PocketSNES, PocketGBA, and FPSEce perform. Anyone would has the device that would like to try them out let me know how they work! (If at all)
PocketSNES 1.53

PocketGBA

FPSece
http://www.fpsece.net/download.htm

Pocketsnes works for me ony thing is the screensize but it works

Awesome does it run at full speed? I would assume so since my wizard gets pretty close. FPSEce only runs at 18fps on it so I'm wondering is the X1 has a nice improvement over it.

yeh it runs at full speed so no worries there

Does button mapping to the keyboard work?

Yes, it works

problem is the emulators and games dont support WVGA so the viewport is reduced to VGA which is really tiny on the 3inch display.
Also for me many SNES games dont run at full speed and you cant map all the keyboard buttons, for example the arrow keys on the keyboard all have the same Keycode...
in my opinion game emulators are pretty useless on the X1
I wonder if the people posting here who says it works have actually tried a number of games and played for a period of time or are just saying things they read somewhere else.

Wow you really can't get SNES at full speed? My wizard with a 200mhz proc can do it just fine on most games.

Well you can, but only with Sound disabled and Frameskip on many games. With Sound most of them lag horrible, also compatibilty with the existing emulators on the X1 isnt really good. You need a WVGA fix to get them running at all and overall its not a very pleasant gaming experience...

the only one I got running properly is the GBA emu and the only game worth playing is FF tactics. that one works quite fine .. its just that itdoesnt use the full screen and the actual game screen is tiny! not sure if there anything u can do to fix that

?
I use Morphgear (MegaDrive/Snes/GBA), Picodrive, GenesisPlus, PocketSnes and PocketGBA (mostly without sound but) running at full/nearly full speed.
You have to use WVGA FIX2 but Morphgear+PocketGBA can be used without it.
Keyboardbuttons can be mapped without a problem.
The X1 can be used as much for gaming as other (W)VGA devices.
Greets !

in PocketSnes i cant map the buttons right next to the spacebar where normally the arrow keys would be..atleast two of them (ö/8 ä/9 or so on german layout) produce the same code in PocketSnes.
Besides that it works but compared to those emulators on my PSP its just useless...but thats mainly due to the very tiny screen in VGA res...

do they completly fill x1's screen?

Thats true for most emulators but you can use Morphgear full screen (800*480) !
Without sound it is usable/playable but with a normal ratio (640*480) it plays smoother/more fps.

could you please put up a link for the latest version of morphgear? I cant seem to find a working download link
thx

Here you go...

morphgear is working great!
I cant seem to get sound to work thou...I checked enabled sound in global and snes options /hmm...

where can i download to put more games on the emulator

I've never had any game running without lags on my X1 (Haven't tried SNES)

gba emulator?

anyone got a good gba emulator they use? i bought morphgear and its really laggy.. i heard pocketgba was good and its free but every time i try to install it it always gives me unsuccessful..

i'm using PocketGBA..if the .cab isnt working..try the .zip..and then just create shortcut...that's what i did

i did try that but no luck the program will start but once i tap on any of the options it will just freeze..

I tried using a GBA emulator when I first got my tilt...even with the sound off it was pretty much unplayable.

pocketadvance is pretty fast but no sound.. its really hard to get the english version of this also

I use Morphgear for GBA games works pretty well but sound makes it slower

morphgear doesn't work well if the rom is over 6mb im trying to play something that is 16mb pocketadvance works the best but I can't seem to find an english version... any links anyone?? thanks in advance

pocketgba IS the best BUT after updating to wm6.1 it no longer works as stated (and there is no work around)..i just got a fuze and im suprised to see it works again and alot faster! so only option is..to upgrade to a fuze

Has someone tried emulators on X1 ?

Hi, Guys !
I was wondering if someone has tried some of the game emulators we have for WM - NeoGeo, Mame, Gameboy, PS1 and etc... and if yes, could you share your opinion about them and their performance on the X1 cause this could be a good solution to the otherwise poor with cool WVGA game titles phone .. Thank a lot

I tried mame. It works quite fine. Only problem is with lack of buttons to control the games. I guess this will be problem for all emulators.

Use search, there have been plenty of topics.
The best emulator is definitely MorphGear. It can emulate almost anything, from NES, SNES and Gameboy to Sega Megadrive and more! You can play in fullscreen in WVGA resolution. The smoothest speed possible on an emulator. Full customization of the keys. It is the best.

MorphGear is GD slow! i've tried only genesis module, which i had to use FPS = 4 and disable sound to be able to play on the right speed... so i concluded snes module will be even worse... anybody can run MorphGear in a decent manner??? i use PicoDrive, which runs perfectly smooth WITH SOUND!!!! it's also possible to use the hard keyboard keys, so after some training it became really playable.... minor drawback: you have to install wvgafix3 (search for it here at xda) to run it on xperia..... go for PicoDrive, you won't regret.....

MorphGear does all of those + fullscreen. Super Mario ftw!

Morphgear is very laggy for me when playing super mario. Any tweaks?

Very interested in this topic too!!!
I have messed around with mame quite a bit and am using FBA 0.14/0.12...i am sooo sad, that they do not develop this project anymore...without sound, the speed is not bad for some games!..with sound it lags too much i am afraid =/
cannot wait to test the ones you mentioned!

I tried pocket dosbox and played spelljammer pirates of realspace for a bit worked fine

... about MorphGear. GAPI runs the fastest on it but it doesn't work right. It scales the screen so it shows only a part of the gaming screen ... anybody know a fix for this?? Been wrecking my brain recently trying to get it work. With other display modes the fps just sucks.. Pocketgba I think uses GAPI and it runs supersmooth, but has numerous other problems so I'd prefer MorphGear.
ps. been searching this forum and googling this problem for like forever now

I haven't done any special tweaks. Just the regular stuff.

Haven't tried morphgear but pocket gba is slow

getting Morpgear SNES, GBA to run smooth (3d Acceleration Cab needed?)

Hey Everyone
I have been combing this Fourms and there is a lot of stuff but I I have not found a soultion to run SNES and GBA games.
So my HTC (Kaiser) Runs Poorly on SNES and GBA Games. If I un enable the sound SNes Performace does get better, but it is still a little choppy. GBA games either way are choppy.
and of course NES, GB and GBC run very well
I have seen a few people mention they can get theirs to work and I was hoping to get mine up and running as well.
first I am Running WM 6.5
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=547754
That cooked version.
Morph Gear Version 2.4.09
after going through all the Posts I have also installed
HTC-CA-Kaiser-Drivers.cab
HTC TI Kaiser Drivers.cab
I was going to try
SJ SamsungOmnia_Driver_D3D.cab (but have not done it yet)
Does anyone have any tips?

IMHO the best speed for emulation can be achived only whith native 6.1 rom whothout superram

not at all, snesgo is almost full speed with sound on but it only works on qvga screens for now, and it work perfectly regardless of rom used

Hey, I've been looking to optimize my new Tilt for high-speed gaming/emulation (and applications in general) as well... and to be totally honest, all this about flashing and roms (especially the tutorials) has confused me senseless; however this native ROM you speak of looks like it's what I want.
...could you link me to that ROM?
...and does it have any compatibility issues with the Tilt's keyboard/function keys, or other sorts of connection manager hell I'd have to go through to get it properly working on AT&T's MEdia Net 3G?

any last shipped 6.1 rom from wiki you whant. but it was writen before I try snesgo, and I must say - it is the best snes emu ever. runing smooth on on pdacornerXv9. only one bug - I cannt map qwerty as gamepad.

Most emulators were written ages ago. I wouldn't consider any of them anywhere near a finished product. Also, unless you're talking about PSX or N64 emulation, the 3D accelerator won't increase the frame rate. Though, it could make the graphics look smoother and sharper, without making the game slower.
3D acceleration is just a mess on the Kaiser as well. Most applications are looking for a Nvidia, PowerVR, or Xscale to even run. Even still, more roms come with superram, which prevents the use of proper 3D drivers. I myself am still in the process of trying to find a clean WM6.5 rom, without superram.

nes, snes or sega is not 3d-game console. so not of any 3d drivers neded at all. it is all about 2d.

obaz, that's what I said.
