[Game] Nes Emulator -[R]- 5th Jan 2011 -[U]- 14th Feb 2011 -[V]- 1.2 - Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games

Name: NES Emulator for Windows Phone 7
Instructions for loading rom files:
1) Sideload the app to the phone by dev tools or some other means
2) The app appears in the xbox live tab among with other games.
3) Roms are added by typing in an direct http url (ie. http://www.myhomepages.com/roms/somegame.nes) and clicking download, if all goes well the rom appears on the main listbox.
3.5) Zip files are not supported. Get that Rom directly somehow
4) select rom and click play
Gaming mode application buttons are pause/play, save, load and sounds on/off
Most of the nes roms should work.
Source: Me.
Download Link: http://www.cs.uta.fi/~tp79800/nes/Emu120.xap
update: updated xap url, but still same old emulator

Page is offline

i didn't get this. how does this emulator work?
if i sideload it, no app appears in my list. if i type in your site in the mobile IE theres just a big button with "download silverlight".
"tested" on HTC HD7

same for me. Is there anything in the XAP ?

App or the emulator should appear in the xbox live panel where other games are.

It's really slow on my LG Quantum. @ First I thought it did not work, but my zelda rom must be corrupt ( or unsupported here ). It played super mario bro's just fine, just slow & no sound at all.
I dl'd it to my laptop, chevron-unlock ( 'cause my phone locks every 5 minutes or so ), tom's xap install. Put in the url to my nes rom, hit download, hit play & it plays.
Note: can ONLY be played in portrait mode. In landscape mode, the controller takes up half the screen, so you don't see much of the game screen.
recommendation: allow users to map buttons to controls in-game. ie, my Quantum has a nice slide-out keyboard so I wouldn't need the dodgy on-screen controller.

Damn that it's slow.
First priority should be to increase framerate to playable rate. Then the UI improvements.
Sounds are enabled by pressing the gearwheel button.

confused:
"Type in url to some .nes file of your choosing and click middle button (download)"
anyone elaborate on this?

i would also like to know how to do this

You need to get .nes files to your device somehow.
Currently only implemented way is to download it to the device by typing in a direct link to a rom file ie. http://www.myhomepages.com/upload/mario.nes (imaginary link)
Upload your rom files to your own homepages or find some files online and use those links.

thats what i figgered i had to do. but still cant get it to go. keeps bringing up a error when i try to load the .nes...
edit: found out i can download the file if i rename it to 'rom.nes' (AKA case sensitive) but still gives a error when trying to play it.
edit edit: tried 5 diff. roms. all come back as "ROM was not valid"

I run it at my focus
1. Slow! just 40% NES Speed
2. No Multitouch control

I added some ARM specific tweaks, let's see if that helps..
What's the framerate now?

Samsung Focus, don't press sound button
The Key of Solomon
18~20 framerate
FF3
18~24 framerate
Press sound button
The Key of Solomon
16~17 framerate
FF3
16~17 framerate
But press the sound button can't hear Sound.

I get "The remote server returned an error: NotFound" when i try to download a rom. Interestingly though it worked once after I turned my WIFI on, but the rom was not valid

Is there a rubric or something to tell us which romsets work? I've tried GoodROMs that I've had on my PC for ages and have played countless times on countless emus on countless devices.. etc, and this app throws back an 'unsupported' error.

Tried it on my Focus and it worked fine; A little slow, as the others are saying, but the gameplay was smooth. Controls were a little slow to respond at times, but it worked fine all-in-all. FYI: ROM tested: Super Mario Bros NES
Gave it some attention here, also, a picture of it running on my Focus. Looks nice!

Easy way to get a URL
If you use DropBox you can quickly put a rom in your public folder and get the URI from the DropBox right click menu...
--------------
BTW, I'm the author of a SharpDropBox Client for .NET (over on CodePlex -- sharpdropbox.codeplex.com -- sorry not enough posts here to post an outside link) which is really just a client for WP7. I'm not sure if the author used XNA or Silverlight, but if he used the latter he could integrate my library to make it easy for those of us who can sideload to get stuff on the device. If not, I'm not sure if my library will work with XNA or not (I need to learn XNA and figure this out)
I'm hoping to give a talk on this at MIX this year (I'm actually working on creating a client library for a few other similar services for WP7).
Anyway, if he wants to get in contact with me I would love to give him a hand with this..
DevTheo

Next version is up, 1.1.0.
I hope for better framerate! and touch input should be more responsive now.
I also tried that dropbox api, but the login didn't work.

Shame on you having me do testing on the morning of my Birthday
Results in a minute....
Mario Bros 1 on previous ver: 23-29 FPS (about 38-49% speed)
wasn't able to test on new version, games that loaded in first version did not load at all in new version.. Seems even pickier than before...
tried 10 diff games from 3 diff sets. Same results
Tuska: If you can PM me and I can help with testing. I have a Dell Venue Pro and am experienced with using rom/emus

Game Emulation

Hey everyone,
I was just wondering if anyone has tried emulating ps1 or gba games. As a tmobile wing owner I can definately say that gba and ps1 is not playable on my device. So in short im just wieghing my options for new devices. If anyone has any comments on this matter, id greatly appreciate it.
Thanks
I've manage to launch final fantasy IX (psx) on my diamond with FPSECE . With the "on screen mapping" option you can assign a button at an area of the screen. I have the original CDs of this game, but I never managed to make a correct ISO file for running in emulation . I've found a copy of this game in internet (mondemul.net) and it works! Another problem is the video. FPSECE can't play the video of FFIX. The first can be skipped by start button, but for the beginning of the game I've made a save with epsxe in my PC, just after the video sequence, and i put it in my memory card files. I will try gran tourismo today and for the gba, I don't try my old emulator (work on my htc p3600) but I will try to

Alright great, do you have any frame rate numbers? Im just curious because i believe the diamond has a dedicated graphics chip or something like that.
That depend of the screen resolution. In LFB GAPI OR GDI mode you can turn the screen in portrait or landscape. The screen is around 27FPS. In landscape in VGA mode you got a black screen but in portrait it's ok and the picture is so beautiful! But about 15FPS..it's a little bit slow but for FF IX it's not a problem. I may be a problem for car game ...where speed is important.

Woww Nice!!
Tips: there is not enought buttons on the diamond.. the better solution for me is the on screen mapping, and dont forget to assigne the button "action" (on center of the diamond) to the menu. With this solution you can play in a large screen and assign all the button of the gamepad.Then you can have the menu in full screen for the missing buttons (start and select, screenshot, fps, frameskip, sound control, exit,...) during the game.
i didn't managed to make fpsece work in my diamond!
when i load an iso, it only loads the playstation bios (with the menu of the memory card and cd player)
could you post your config please?
thank you
Guys, good news also with GBA Emulation.
I'm currently running The Sims, and it works FINE.
I also have tried GTA but it reset itself (the game, not the pda) once the first mission is started; maybe i need another GBA ROM.
However i've noticed that with GBA emulator, the diamond HAS ALL HW BUTTON Needed, BUT the "end & start" call buttons are right mapped but doesn't work.
For front buttons (L & R) i use the volume buttons, joypad for directions, the central button as A and the start button as <-- (arrow button).
So the game are played in FULLSCREEN LANDSCAPE mode.
Enjoy your fun!
configuration
attached files: my configuration (emulator v0.96beta,bios and ini and epsxe memcard inclueded )
the epsxe memcard file (epsxe000.mcr) can be choosed by the emulator in the option menu.

is this Warez if you have included the Bios?
(sorry to be a prude )
The biggest problem I'm having with FPSECE is trying to transfer the ISO files I've made from my original CDs. ActiveSync and USB-MS fail to transfer them over, presumably since they're so large.
I've had no luck at all compressing games to less than 400MB, either, using the (flakey!) ISO compression tool that comes with the emulator.

i'm not sure but for me bios is a free part of the emulation.it's a system file. you can find it in all the good emulation site..download an iso if you don't have the original cd, it's warez

I have the same problem that's why i always download a copy of my game in an emulation site..i prefer improved version, it's more easy.I always use usb mode it's more faster than active sync.

Would you be able to clarify what you mean here? Are you saying that it doesnt work in landscape mode?
Is this with sound on or off or any frameskip options?
Also, could you try this with TouchFlo turned off as I heard this improves performance massively???
Many many thanks!
in this emulator the sound is not very good. it's slow. but i don't see a big diffence with/without sound activated.
in vga mode (portrait,320*224) with sound: 17-21fps , without 19-23fps
{ps: between this test and my first (post"4) i've changed my rom ,bebe 0.54 to bepe 0.95, so fast!!}
in vga mode landscape give a blake screen.it doesnt work.
in all other mode landscape work.
in lfb mode,portrait, the pad can be black. if you touch the top pad (between sound and option), it reappear.
for other test, tf3d and phone skin (10% ram...) desactivated:
vga mode (portrait,320*224) with sound 17-21 fps without sound:19-24fps...
any change
(all the tests made with FF9)
thanks for the answers dejant!
Has anyone else got landscape to work on this??
Also, dejant did you use any frameskip? Also what version of fpsece are you using?
Is lanscape any faster than 27 fps with your new rom?
If you could answer those questions i would be really greatful!!

Which software?
Really appreciate your feedback - was just wondering what the fps was in landscape in the non - vga mode?
sorry i don't have internet at home for this week.
results of the test: landscape mode in lfb with sound 19fps without sound 17fps
gapi with sound 21fps without sound19fps
gdi with or without, 7-13 ps ....but i don't remember that gdi mode was so slowly..maybe a bug, i change configuration every 30s ,maybe the emulator start to bug ^^ and i don't have my cable for reinstall
all test made without frame skipping, with frame skip the game is faster
vga portrait with 5frame skip, 30fps very little lag
with 3frame skip 27 fps no lag.
gapi mode portrait 5frame skip, 32fps and 3 frame skip 29fps. no difference...
Would you be able to tell me the fps with these setttings please??
Sound: 0N
Graphics : GAPI
Orientation: Landscape
Frameskip: 3
Touchflo3d: OFF
Basically im trying to see if I could play playstation games on it with sound at a playable speed in landscape?
Really appreicate your answers!

Emulators for Touch Pro

In this topic we will discuss about console/platform emulators compatible with Touch Pro.
So far I got these working on the TP:
- PicoDrive
- FinalBurn
- Genesis Plus by n0p (you can achieve better framerate with PicoDrive - but far away from smooth gameplay)
- PocketSNES by n0p (better for SNES, but far away from smooth gameplay)
- PocketSNES by masterall
The emulator were tested with sound.
Performance tests (more to come?)
- Picodrive (Sonic 3): HTC Tornado (SPV C600) vs HTC TOuch PRo.
More information about poor touch pro graphics performance can be found here.
--- OLD POST ---
I've also tried PocketSNES without succes (black screen when trying to load a ROM), PocketNester Plus (program exits after loading a ROM)
Haven't checked yet:
- FPSCe (playstation emulator)
- MorphGear (multi-console: NES, Sega, GBA)
- PocketScumm
You may check this guide.
Please post here your experience with emulators on TP. Also, you may post link to workable emulators and I will update the first post.
I Tried finalburn, can load ROMs with it, plays perfect, but on the same time are unplayble, due that the keyboard maps the same (OE) key on all.
Still haven't found a fix for this. Do you know of one?
For the fix try this. If the arrow keys are inversed, just map:
- Up: left key
- Down: right key
- Left: down key
- Right: up key
Ah, one note, on PicoDrive you must select "Fast renderer" because the poor redraw issue of the device, otherwise you will get full of annoying vertical delays. Anyway, at this point emulation is better (fluid) on my good old Tornado overclocked at 252Mhz than on touch pro (tested Sonic 3 with PicoDrive) .
I've been using the Gameboy Color emulator PocketGnuboy v1.21 with the KforTouchPro 1.0.0.3 keyboard fix. It runs well when set to 160x144 with sound enabled. I've noticed that Frame Skip has to be set at Auto or else the phone crashes after a bit.
Scummvm works and looks fantastic on TP only issue i had was that i couldn't map keys to the qwerty keyboard, but most games where still very playable, even COMI worked for a while!
Hope that helps
using morphgear gbc module with the fix by dilta.. works very smoothly
For an SNES emulator, use n0p's:
http://n0p.tonych.info/?PocketSNES
You have to use portrait right mode without the stretch, which puts that ugly controller skin on the screen. If you do portrait right mode with the stretch all the roms just glitch out. Also, there's no sound. Other than that, games tend to run smoothly (although I've come across a few that just don't work). Still need the KforTouch fix though.
Also, in your main thread you said Morphgear supports GBA, but from what I've seen it only supports GBC. I was able to get PocketGBA to work:
http://sunbug.net/attachements/download/9
However, I haven't found any way to put the emulator in the correct display mode for using the hardware keyboard, so I was stuck using the sucky directional pad on the Touch Pro with the touch screen keys. But, it works like a charm.
Alot of complains about the TP i cant seem to fit any of the complains here on my device v 1.90.409.6
1:You have to use portrait right mode without the stretch, which puts that ugly controller skin on the screen. If you do portrait right mode with the stretch all the roms just glitch out! >-->> i play it perfectly on my TP with sound and in ladscape mode with the keyboard to play with no need to use the skin i use pocketsnes 1.52!
2: Ah, one note, on PicoDrive you must select "Fast renderer" because the poor redraw issue of the device! >-->> i use picodrive and cant see any redraw issue on my phone also need to limit fps to 50-60 to get the games run perfect or they run too fast!
the only redraw issue i get is in opera browser! IE work greate without the redraw...so im not sure why my device dont get the other problem on emulators..and for the key settings use (shift left) (ctrl left) (tab left) and (q or a) for the r1 and l1 buttons on the snes use the volume keys its alot playable then for emulators i recommend is PocketSnes 1.52 (super nintendo) PicoDrive 0.52 (sega genesis) PocketGba Rel 060723 (gameboy advance) fpsece (playstation slow yeat but some games you get 30fps+) PocketNesterPlus 0.9 (nintendo) FinalBurn 0.011 (arcade) is some of the emus i recommend for you and all this emulators i can run at landscape for a note hope this help some!

You must be using those emulators without sound? That's the only way you're going to get 100% speed. I've used every one of those emulators you've mentioned, and I haven't been able to get full speed on any one using landscape mode with the hardware keyboard.
@Quake3000, I can record a video if you don't believe me. Try a fast action game such as Sonic 3 & Knukles.
... And the redraw issue si present not only in opera. Just see my videos from here (i've done a test with IE too). Maybe you just don't feel it.. try with other sites . Anyway, we are kinda offtopic here. We can contine the discussion in the appropiate topic specified above.
@kevingilbert thanks for the links, I will try them ASAP and update my first post. I haven't tried yet MorphGear, but on this page GBA is also mentioned..
@0llyTouchPro have you tried KforTouchPro?
@at10ti0n thanks !. any other experience?

nope with sound my favorite games on the genesis is the sonic games i have them all from sonic 1 to sonic 3d even sonic spinball...what firmware do you have? anyway i will see when il get time to record a video. Need to get my nokia N95 back from the care center first. then il use that to record with since my video camera died this summer after a very big fall from mountain there the plan was to film when i was mountain climbing:/

I'm amazed. And I'm almost certain it can't be true. I'm running the stock Sprint firmware. With sound I can only run 100% speed with jittery movement due to all the frame skipping. I'll have to await your video.
DSF I'd like to thank you for making this thread, I'm a gamer, and I really wanna know how the Touch Pro compares to the tilt in gaming. The tilt cant play any emulators without lagging or needing to disable sound.
One main concern I have is, does the TP have the same touchscreen bug that the tilt had? the one that when you held down the touchscreen it would lag horribly? best way to tell is map the onscreen buttons in finalburn and see if it starts lagging.
speaking of finalburn, what roms have you tried and how was the peformance?

Hey Mikeeey,
Good to see you on this forum. I'd only ever seen you post on Modaco.
Unfortunately, there's always a little lag on finalburn - even when using the software keyboard. Final Fight plays pretty good. CPS2 games (like D&D) I tried are a little more annoying. The big neo geo games also have some slowdown.
Actually, Mikeeey - your request made me find out something VERY interested. I just played D&D Tower of Doom and tried the screetap for the first time ever.
Using screentap instead of the action buttons - lag goes away altogether! I couldn't believe it and had to go through several fight scenes to prove it. Everytime I press a button on the keyboard in a fast action scene, the game stalls for a fraction of a second. If I do the same with a screen tap - there's no stall - it's just as fast as my 6700.
I think it's an issue of the program that we have to run in the background. I wish there was a fix for this, but HTC screwed up the keyboard setting such that without the background program - we can't map keys.
I've gotta say this is exciting, I played a few other games - and if we solved this, emulation on the touch pro would be near perfect.
Not sure why he says PokketNester doesn't work. Works perfectly for me.

hey PolloLoco nice to see you here too! well if you look at my post count youl see I've actually been here for quite some time lol. How long have you been here?
I had no idea you got a Touch Pro, thats awesome! I thought you had verizon? isnt the verizon version not out yet? if it is what do they call it? I'm recommending it to my friend who has verizon.
how much lag is a little lag? On my tilt it was so bad, if i tried playing metal slug with sound it would slow down and the sound would be skippy cuz it was lagging.
wow... so.. they fixed the screen bug..but now there are button bugs?? Idk which is worse.. Well hopefully there will be a fix for the button mapping issue and the buttons slowing down the game. Have you flashed to a custom rom?
I noticed the TP has less buttons for games in portrait mode. It doesnt have the left and right softkey.. am I correct?
have you played in finalburn games that were in portrait mode, like those verical air shooter games? DonPachi for example?
Could someone try DoomGLES on the TouchPro?
I would have when I went to play with the Fuze at the AT&T store but the guy had to grab one from the back and he watched me as I played with it, waiting for me to give it back so he could put it back in the box.
I've 100% discovered that any slowdown with games on the touch pro - is 100% due to lag from the keyboard. It may not even be the background program "Kfortouchpro". Some users have reported that they have keyboard lag when typing - UNTIL they flash to a new rom (GSM version). I hope there's a similar fix for the CDMA version. Then it may be reasonable to use this phone for gameplay with the keyboard.
What I did to test this was by digging up (it took hours) my old smartphone bluetooth joystick. I installed the program (told it it was an HTC Magician) and then mapped the joystick buttons to the very few hardware keys that register. By the way - on the keyboard, up down left and right map independently without k for touch pro - and there's apparently no lag.
Once I'd mapped to the hardware keys, I started playing Finalburn. It played awesome. Almost 100% speed. On some high speed action shootemups (shocktroopers 2) - I saw a little slowdown. That said, I'm picky about emulation, and I have no concerns about recommending Finalburn on the touchpro. It's beautiful, great speed, and it looks and sounds great on the VGA screen and speakers.
I then tried Picodrive - and it worked just as well! The difficult and jittery gameplay I had before, were purely from the keyboard lag. I'm happy - and I'm still hopeful I can connect my phone to the tv and play games from my couch on the bluetooth joystick. However, I'm expecting serious slowdown due to tv out.
Mikeeey, to answer 2 of your questions. I'd heard about Verizon's initial plans to issue a crippled touch pro - slower processor and half the ram - for the same price. So I sent a complaint e-mail, wondering why it wouldn't make sense to switch to Sprint. I never got a reply. So I decided to switch to Sprint. It makes sense for me - the same unlimited data plan is at least $15 cheaper than Verizon's and I haven't had any coverage issues since I got this phone 3 weeks ago.
The Verizon phone, since many user complaints - may not be as crippled as originally planned. The latest rumors I've heard were that the Verizon XV6850 will have almost the same processor and 192 megs of RAM as opposed to the 256 of the Sprint Touch Pro. Early leaks suggested that the Verizon prototype is a touch slower. We'll see.
Mikeeey - the vertical shooters you're suggesting would stink on this phone that way. The optical joystick and surrounding buttons stink. Very often you press one direction (they're connected) and the next direction registers. So it's not very accurate and I try not to use it. For a vertical shooter I'd either use the direction buttons on the pull out keyboard (they work as I mentioned) and the 3 front face buttons that register.
well im glad you discovered the problem, I'm glad to know it's fast!
ah yes, the speakers, how are they? louder than the 6700 and kaiser? does it have good sound quality?
So I assume you use the arrow keys on the keyboard then, isnt that difficult considering you cant easily go from 1 key to the next or press 2 at the same time. For example trying to press right and up at the same time? on my Tilt if I try to do that I end up pressing "enter" as well.
damn.. vertical shooters are my favorite.. does the D-pad actually "click" or is it touch buttons? I didnt have enough time to figure it out when I played with it. and is there a single softkey button on the device anywhere?

Genesis/Mega Drive emulator for Kaiser?

Is there a fully working, full speed Genesis emulator for the Kaiser?
I tried Genesis Plus 0.6. With frameskip on auto, it was way too slow. And it doesn't have any options to remap keys.
I tried PicoDrive 0.52. It was also too slow and it doesn't have any options to enable frameskip. I could remap keys, but up was right, down was left, right was down, and left was up.
Are there any full speed Genesis/Mega Drive emulators for the Kaiser? There were some nearly full speed ones for my ancient Nokia 6620 (150 MHz Arm9, 16 MB RAM), so full speed emulation on the Kaiser (400 MHz Arm9, 128 MB RAM) should be possible.
I have not found even a decent Gameboy, Gameboy Advance, or Nintendo emulator. My iPod Touch has got them all and working great :<<
You won't find any emulators at the moment that are going to be fully smooth (forget about sound) on kaiser. sorry, but that's the way it is.
hopefully incoming version 0.1 of fpsece will let us play games like final fantasy VII with decent framerates. it may be possible, as makers of it have promised to release source code for gfx plugin. maybe, just maybe someone will try to write a dedicated gfx plugin and to utilize 3d hardware in kaisers to give it bit more processing power.

[EDIT]
funny thing is, that silly old nokia N70 can play gameboy advance games without sound at almost full speed (frameskip 1), and all of it on ~200 mhz cpu. those who tried playing gba games on kaiser know, that they are not playable at all.

My friend always plays ol` good games (GB, GBA, NINTENDO) with his N95 and they look gorgeus compared to kaiser. I just hate the fact that we don`t have anything matching.
solid nes emulator for kaiser exists

I suggest u guys look for pocket nester. it runs nes roms just fine on kaiser. requires some remapping of keys. I believe it took some googling after trying xda forum links. i located the emulator while looking for kinoma free play here on xda.
cheers

It looks like the latest version is 0.7 from 2003 Giving it a try tho, need to source some roms.
Update : Works fine if you don't use the onscreen controls, just maps to the dpad and A=Softkey Left B=IE Button Start=Softkey right Select=SMS button.
The Audio works best upto 22800, 8 bit, with 2 set for frameskip .
Apparently free .NES ROMs here - full commercial games at non-warez site.
PS Sorry to hijack your MegDdrive thread with NES info but I'm all excited I got this working smooth.
seems right

yup, that is the one. simply copy pocketnester app to storage card, transfer your roms, load roms thru program or just setup association with nes roms inside options and double click ur rom
remember ull need to remap, which took a little state diagram for me to get it right.
if u can find your mario 2 it is perfect for ppc since no time limit, four characters, and lots of places when you drop it simply scrolls down. makes sloppy button presses little less upsetting!
morphgear seems to work fine

download site
download the generator and the emulators, run the files while ppc connected to activesync and computer thru usb, soft reset and proceed with installations, transfer appropriate roms to storage card, goto programs->games->morphgear, switch to whichever file type and load rom
try it
Genesis/Mega Drive emulation is currently broken in Morphgear. It crashes immediately on opening a ROM.
Check out Smart Gear. It emulates Genesis, SNES, NES, Gamegear, and Gameboy. Unfortunately, it's not free.
pocket nester works great for playing nintendo games, i'm playing mike tyson's punch out now, SICK
I use picodrive v0.52 for mega drive, pocketgnuboy v1.20 for gameboy and PocketGBA v060723 for gameboy advance and all run fine with sound, only thing is on picodrive turn the sound sample rate down to about 22050 or less because i've found if set any higher games become quite laggy.
No sound on Kaiser?
I am running Picodrive v0.052 on my TyTyn II and all of the roms run fine, but without sound. I have tried changing the sample rate, disabling Z80 and any other options I can see, but so far had no joy.
Anyone know what I am doing wrong?

FPSECE 0.096 works on my diamond!!!

For someone who can’t run fpsece 0.096 on your diamond, maybe this is the answer what you are looking for (It works for me).
1-Put your game image file IN SAME DIRECTORY WITH FPSECE.EXE (YES! NOT THE /ISOS/!), this is THE MOST IMPORTANT THING!
2-For someone who use a compressed game image file (.z .bz .znx), create two registry keys on your diamond:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\Loader\LoadModuleLow]
"LIBZ.DLL"=dword:00000001
"LIBBZ2.DLL"=dword:00000001
After those changes on my diamond (especially the first one), I finally get fpsece 0.096 works with several wonderful games (like FF VII, Vagrant Story, …), a little slowly, but works!
Hope this post could help you (if you need ^_^), good luck!
hi,
where are you find the 0.09.6 version ? I've tried with the 0.09.5 and FF7 "rip" in .iso by nero burning rom (700mo wahou), but it doesn't work ! when I run the game, I have the boot of playstation with the sound, and after nothing !
could you help me please ?
sorry for my bad english....
here it is.
thanks dud, it works perfectly ! little slowly, the first game I tried is Formula 1 and it's very difficult to play, but for RGP games it's good !
thank you for your help
have a nice day !
Yes, I had this also on default factory ROM. Every time you have to choose a file using a file selection dialog - be it a bios, memcard or iso - fpsece 0.096 just quits. The simple workaround, not requiring to change registry or move files out of their proper dirs, is this:
In the file selection dialog, before you select a file, just change dir and change back.
EDIT: My device is Touch Pro.
Good tricks here, I quoted them on FpseCE forum, with the source and the link to this page.
Thanks!
There are slow Alaab
I hope the solution ;;;;;;;;;
Thank you

Your neva gunna get fpsece running at full speed on your diamond, infact i think the only ppc that can is the axim and its intel graphics chip lol
Got it working in my Diamond (WM 6.5.0)
The ISO (img whatever) must be placed in the same folder as the fpsce.exe as mentioned above!
Game takes some time to startup, runs slow though. Impressive nevertheless^^
GTA 2 on 2,8" screen
any memory problems?
is there any memory problems playing games with this?
is there a control pad in the screen for easy playing? since I really have a hard time playing using my diamonds buttons on the other emulators I tried
Thanks! Those 2 registry for my Diamond are really working!
Nice, although my gaming days are over
FPse is one of my favorite apps of all time. Love it!!

Any TV show on XOOM app. Shenanigans? Or real?

I just saw this video on youtube, but I'm kind of afraid to sideload this after the virus scare last week.
Vid
If it's legit, I'm totally loading it up.
[EDIT]The link goes to a Megaupload page and the file is called app.apk
Looks a little suspect to me, but they guy in the vid has the XDA app, so who knows.
This app needs flash i think? Basically searches for shows on video sites like megavideo, frogmovz, etc.
Your best bet for streaming TV and Movies on the XOOM is going to be PLEX, in my opinion.
IF you only have a Windows based computer to host the server on then you will only be able to stream what ever local content you have at present. The Windows based server for Plex is still very much a work in progress.
IF you have a Mac to host the server on then there are many plugin available such as Hulu and Netflix, to go along with local content.
At present PLEX will give you a video subsystem error if you attempt to play video on the XOOM. I know for a fact that the XOOM is being worked on by the PLEX devs, and we should have a working version out in the near future.
I will post here in the Xoom Apps section as soon as we have it ready for our lovely new toy.
tv shows
tv show streamer needs flash to work. you can find that in the market. Check out my youtube video on how to get free tv shows and movies
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OZ2TaHQSLhA
also check out jetflicks at the market .
It works fine on my Evo 4G. Scanned with Lookout. All clear. Don't know if that means much but yeah. lol
It works like a charm too.
Hi
We have opened a testing request for the aplication "TV Shows Stream" and "Tv Shows Stream Lite"
The testing request thread is here :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=977194
And the main thread aplication is here.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=903351
The aplication need flash player installed. It will play the videos from megavideo and other streaming site that are using jwplayer. The aplication is working fine in all 2.2 / 2.3 android flash capable tablets and in most of android devices with flash.
Any info will be welcome, thanks in adnvanced.
The app looks and functions fine except it wont actually play a video.
It will give me the message "Megavideo will load in a few seconds, please wait" and then just sits there.
If I touch the menu button I get the option to "Close Browser". If I touch the screen, it shows the progress bar at the top and loads the Megavideo site.
If I use the Karambavidz link it plays sound, but no video.
Frogmovz gives me the message to "Tap play and let the video load", but there is nothing to tap. The screen is black.
Hope this helps.

Hi,
We are working in an update that will be released soon, probably before monday that allows karambavidz and loombo links to be played without using flash player, using the android native player. Those links should work fine.
For the other links, you can email yourself the link, copy it, and open it with "Dolphin HD" browser (free on market). It has been reported on Xoom forum that they can use the links if they use in this way. I know is not a good way to do it, but is a temporary workarround.
More info soon in the application thread, we are working right now on the update, its almost finished.
Regards
Hi
TV Shows Stream v3.0 has been updated now (the lite version will be updated on monday likely), clean the market cache if you dont see the update.
Karamabvidz and Loombo links can now be opend with external player. (the android native player, rock player, vplayer or any other that you have installed on your device.
We will be working on how to improve the other video links performance over xoom in the next weeks. For the other devices flash 10.2 is working fine. (flash 10.2 is beta for honeycomb) .
Please,, report if the karambavidz and Loombo links works fine on Xoom using "External players" option. Thanks in advanced.
regards
anyone try out jetflicks? Its pretty much a membership to a website, but many many different shows to choose from. They seem to keep up to date pretty well. Dont pay for the application its only a link to their website.
