First, the courts have repeatedly ruled that emulators are absolutely, perfectly 100% legal. There is NO grey area about this at all. Talking about emulators is not a legal issue at all.
Roms however are illegal to share or download so discussing where to get them, what torrents to get them in is not acceptable and so please absolutely no discussion of roms here.
My question relates to the Gameboy Advance and Super Nintendo emulator found here...
http://www.pocketsnes.net/ (I don't think this is the latest version but I can't find a newer version).
It's a program that lets me play backed up copies of gameboy advance and super nintendo games that I own on my mobile phone.
While the program worked perfectly fine on previous generation HTC phone, I can't get it to work here.
Could someone with some software experience please work on, or figure out what the problem is and why we can't get it running on this particular HTC phone.
It's honestly the only drawback to upgrading to the Kaiser so I would love to have it fixed.
Thank you.
The problem is more than likely to do with the much talked about video driver issues. Until an official fix is released or another way to get the video hardware running properly there's not really much that you can do. I've managed to run a SNES emulator on my Kaiser at a pace slightly slower than a snail's .
On the other hand, emulation of the original NES console games along with the Gameboy/Gameboy Color seems to work perfectly for me. Maybe give that a try if you can put up with the not-quite-so-good graphics?
Its going to play terribly because of the acceleration problems with our phones, My 6700 used to play them perfectly with out sound.. well except GBA but SNES was flawless without sound.. I just cant wait for someone with the intelligence and skills to come out with a fix for this problem, he/she should definitely become well known after that creation.
mine runs pretty smooth...i have had no problems yet
Wait, you have PocketSnes working!!! If so, could you tell me where you downloaded it from please. Thank you.
I'm 95% sure that the sourcecode for pocketsnes was released years ago.
The old program was written for Windows Mobile (the same OS we have now).
Could someone maybe recompile it in whatever language works with qualcomm processers (I have no idea how to do this but I'm hoping it can be done by some brilliant coder out there).
I will happily contribute to a paypal account for whoever can pull that off as I am sure many others will.

Rico are you talking about with or without sound??
I have a couple spb games but I'm very bored with them. Does anyone know of any really fun and/or addictive games for the Tilt/Kaiser? I have a good amount of downtime at work and I'm always on my phone. I NEED some new games. Any recommendations? What's your favorites?
New Games
Don't know if this helps, but I really like Resco Defender. It's a really addicting tower defence game. Download the trial first and see if you like it, because some people think it's boring while others really enjoy it. http://www.resco.net/pocketpc/defender/default.asp Hope that helps,

DUKE
Duke Nukem 3D!!! I loved it on PC and someone ported it to PPC. It's exactly the same thing, even with the Atomic Edition add-on! Try looking for "Duke Nukem on my Kaiser" on youtube and you'll find all the instructions on how to get it. Runs best with the 3D htc classaction drivers. Come get some!

Hello,
I'm new to the forums....been reading a lot lately. Unfortunately, I had to post a n00b question because I couldn't find the answer anywhere and it's probably more of an opinion than a straight up answer.
What is the best Video Driver/ROM for a Kaiser running emulators? Specifically I'm thinking of FPSECE (the psx emulator), but also like MorphGear (I know, it's 2d so it's different, but it would be nice to know of a driver that can run this and FPSECE). Can anyone help me out? Thanks and have a great day!
Hi,
I am not so good on the technical side but I tried to use the demo for Morphgear with a previous ROM I had (from Laurentius26's), when the drivers were updated. 2D games like for GB or SNES do not present so much problem. I tried a GBA game recently, that's a no go, even with the latest update from our hard-workers of the HTCClassAction (at least for me ).
Concerning the PS emulator, never tried, but I strongly guess it's going to be ahard time for the Kaiser!
I don't know if you found it during your search, but I think some people have Quake and Duke Nukem working pretty well thou, worth the try .
Just thought I'd point out a full NES emulator on the market which works perfectly at full speed with sound and saving state. It's called Nesroid. I've tried it with a few games and it seems to work perfectly, although the sound is a little static-y.
Yeah I saw that this morning. I was waiting on a little more feedback before I bought it. Im looking forward to some Captain Skyhawk...
Yeah, I tried to buy it with my dad's credit card, but i stucked at "validating credit card" or something like that (i'm german) so i mailed the developer asking him for e.g. paypal .. still waiting for answer <.< GNAH GIMME ZELDA

**Nesoid
Saw this posted on here and HAD to test it out...!! But when searching for Nesroid, I received no results. It's actually under Nesoid (no R) But regardless, I am very impressed. There are comments on the market page for it stating there is NO sound..well that's not true. I tested FF1, FF2, Kirby's Adventure, Zelda, and Megaman, all work flawlessly!! Full speed, sound, everything. ^-^ Keeping it, worth the $1.99..this is what I've been waiting for.. now hopefully, there will be more on a Genesis or SNES emulator..though I know an SNES one is in the works and should be out by end of June... crap..I don't have the link, but the developers are very focused on speed, sound, and save states..! I will find that link...eek.
you mean, this one:
http://www.supergnes.com/
Yeah it works well. I guess why some don't have sound is because of the lack of Open GL drivers in their firmware (HAHAHAHHAHAHA! screw them ). There is lite (free) version that seems to be the same thing... I'm kinda pissed because there seems to be no difference between the two! At this point... I normally would refund and get the free (exact duplicate!!) one but I feel bad because I have waited for this since I got my G1. Hummm.... the Touch Pro 2 is coming to T-MO USA in July and I was gonna go back to WM (keep my Dream as a back up) but it gets easier to decide not to with each day of fantastic Android innovation, port, or emulator. Hell, it's good to have choices! Now T-Mobile is finally giving us MANY more (cough, cough, Samsung Android w/ 8GB internal memory coming in fall)
Looks like my battery life will suffer severely thanks to this app. Sound gets choppy when the phone starts accessing data, which sucks, but it is still awesome
works on jf 1.5.... The sound for me doesn't work but every game I have played on it works 100% This is a dev who knows what a good product is!
its about time a decent emulator came out, if ScummVM works fine i dont see why all the other emulators till now had to suck...

Maybe you should try to write a high performance emulator in Java. Then you'd find out.
Freedomcaller:
You have no clue what an emulator, OR scummvm is, do you?
An emulator simulates all low-level calls, and basicly pretends it's a whole other computer... and that's while running all the other services and apps in the background.
That is not an easy thing to do, and especially not in pure interpreted java. That's why native/compiled code is probably used in that emulator.
ScummVM is *NOT* an emulator. SCUMM is an interpreted language, by lucas-art.
What ScummVM does is basicly just read some sort of script, and match the commands in the script, to local calls.
ScummVM is (relatively) easy to implement, and doesn't need a whole lot of horse-power (The NintendoDS runs it, and i think the GBA does too... and the GBA runs at 16MHz, with 384kB of RAM)
this emulator works great, i tested 5 nes rom and they all runs and sounds perfectly.
this is from 1.5 H build.
the graphic looks cool when g1 screen is so small.
now lets give us SNES emulator please

This emulator is so fast in fact, I suspect this app has a component of native code in it that is not Java at all. Doom had a piece of native code in it.

This is great!
Any chance buying the emulator for the ones outside T-Mobile networks?
u don't need tmobile?!
The lite version only plays one preloaded rom - Chip N Dale. I'm sure you could mess with the .apk to play other roms, but the work involved to make a good NES emulator is worth 2 bucks to me.
Well, let me try again then.. Is there any way to get this outside the market, as I live in a country that cannot browse any priced applications on the market.
Edit: I have no problem paying for it via paypal or something, it's just unavailable for me over the market and I really want this !

Lite version works with thedude's apps2sd rom, but the paid doesn't. the app.zip file isn't showing up as being downloaded, and market says it is. Anyone having this problem with an apps to sd rom?
Hello All,
I was hoping if anyone can post their experiences using thier emulator apps.
Been using 'Gameboid' for a few days now. Im pretty impressed it runs the games it does. Sound syncing is not 100 percent but doable or you can even turn off your sound. I can confirm Advance Wars works VERY well and is a must have if you use the program. I am overall satisfied with it and hopefully will continue to see more compatibility with more updates.
**PLEASE DO NOT POST ANY GAME DOWNLOAD SITES AS THIS THREAD MAY BE SUBJECT TO CLOSE IF YOU DO SO... Thank you.
I use Snesoid religiously. Love it.
i use gameboid and snes emulator regulary buyed.
snes go well, you can play but without sound because it eat more resources.
gameboid go, but it's a little bit slow, and it's a problem when you play games like micro machines, mario etc because you have to take an immediately responce, and you don't have it
i use a dream with cyanogen mod 4.2.5

Just got Snesoid yesterday and have used it for Link. Ill post my thoughts on it once I use it for a few days.
Theres a Genesis emulator out there too but I havent used it yet..
Hoping theres a few more people out there that can offer us more reviews on these apps.
There will NEVER be a game that will be an Android game as elaborate as a SNES, GBA and or NES one.. never.......

nes, genesis, snes, and gameboid emulators all work great, i've played quite a few games on all of them. scummvm is another great emulator (of sorts) and i've been playing return to zork, discworld series, 7th guest and beneath a steel sky with them.
still excited about gaming on this platform and it will only become better in the future.
If you like point & click games and missed out on many oldschool classic (or, wth, even want to play them again) i would recomend scumm. It works great on android device, especially if you have a trackball (kinda slugish it is, but for precise aming - priceless)
I've read about Android Arcade Emulator (capcom, neo-geo arcade games) but I'm not using it (those games where made for playing with mates - kinda hard on small device ), apparently it runs the more famous games without lag.
I also use gameboid. works great.

It depends on which game it is, its not 100 percent compatible yet. Also make sure the bios file is not compressed by any programs (ex. winrar, winzip and or power archiver)
Ive downloaded some games that force closes it as well. What I did was simply delete the game and threw another one into the SD card.
Report back and let me know your results and we can both figure out another solution if you cant play another game..
The best emulator out right now is ggNES. It runs NES games at full speed with sound on. No slow down, no errors, just perfect.
I like the xxxoid emulators, but the app author isn't making them run more efficiently, he's adding other stuff. Don't get me wrong, I'm glad he's even updating, but full speed emulation can be done, and ggNES had a free version to boot.
ggNES is a definite download and is running great on my G1.

Issue is, While RPGs and Tactic based games. (Yes I love advance wars) Are great on the emulators. Games like Star Sigma etc are harder.. even mario is hard. Seems action games are just harder to manage that fast paced stuff on the emulators. Anyone else notice that?
Or have they got better? Curious about the snes one tho if that runs smooth.
Edit: Just read others.. I agree I use gbaroid and nesroid and while the dev makes updates.. the speed seems to be the complaint.. but I really dont wanna buy ggnes just for speed after I paid for one.. heh..

ggNES is currently the best at playing Nes roms. Try the ggNES lite and see how it works out for you, if you like it why not buy it?
Snesoid runs good at least on my phone. Its also dependent on how many apps are using up your memory. Get Advanced Task Manager to fix that problem prior to using any emulator.
Ok Ill give it a shot. I use Taskiller pro personally. Works well I think. Unless you know something works better? Advanced Task Manager I have as well.
Maybe its decent enough to play River City Ransom. =)

There are alot of programs similar to Advanced Task Manager, yours is one of them. As long as they close unused programs it should be fine.
Hopefully you see improvement running River City with the Emulator change. Let us know how it went..
