Hello Guys
I wonder if any of you here is an oldschool nerd that would love (like myself) to have an MSX emulator on their Pocket PC
Anyone is up for this?!
I really would love to play Zanac & Castle on my PPC, anyone has the time & knowledge to do this?
Hope you all had a nice weekend!
All the best
Emulator
I found these
http://www.zophar.net/ppc/msx.html
I tried them both, they both run on my Universal but both could not run the ROMs I loved & still love (I play with them sometimes on my laptop with a special MSX emulator )
Have any of you tried these before?!
Can I be rude and ask if anyone is interested in the first place? As I didn't get any reply to the topic (when I thought that the site is full of old school nerds like myself )
Cheers Mates!!
Yeh that would be a good thing.
While me mates had speccies, i had a good old msx! Never waited for games to load like me mates had to cos of the good old cartridge slot! Hehe!
Kings Valley 2 anyone?

That was an excellent choice mate!
I myself however prefer Castle, Castle Excellent & Zanac
These were my favorite games (still are lol)
So did you got the chance to try the MSX emulators I have refered to in the previous post? Did they work with you? Do you need Kings Valley 2 ROM file? LOL
Cheers Mate!
Well im at work so will try them later on tonight, my pc is playing up at home so have to get that sorted first.
Nemesis 2 was also a great game, along with F1 Spirit and Knightmare! Hehe! The memories, theyre all flooding back!
Got a few roms thanks, used to use them on me laptop, before i sold it! hehe!
Which msx did you have? I had the toshiba and then the pioneer.

hey did anyone manage to complete salamander's level 6 on their msx?
i never managed to kill the last guardian in level 6?
i also tried to see if using salamander with nemesis II would give the secret new level which would enable me to beat the guardian in level 6 would work, but no luck?
can one play these games on the universal?

I hope your PC is sorted out now & that had the time to try the emulators, please update us when you can.
As for my MSX it was Yamaha
Have a nice weekend

Hello xda_guy,
Well well well LOL, finally I found the nerd generation I belong to
As for Salamandar I couldn't play that because if I remember well, it needed MSX2 and mine was plain old MSX so wouldn't run it
However if you want I remember there is an emulator for PC that has cheating feature in, where you NEVER die if you are curious to see whats after level 6
As for being able to play it on Universal, well this is why the original post is all about, if you check my post where I put a URL, you will find that there are two different MSX emulators for PocketPC, the problem is I tried them both, they both run on my Universal without error messages, but they did NOT operate any ROM (Read Only Memory which are binary file images of the cartridges we used to use in the MSX era, I am not talking about the Universal ROM), so if you got the chance to try them both, and see if they work with you, maybe something is wrong in my Universal ROM, or if I am doing something wrong way, or if I am missing something.
Please whatever you find out, share it with us & maybe if it works, we can organize a nostalgic championship on who would finish a game first or who would go further or anything like that.
Until then, have a great weekend
Cheers
hey cerberu
you finally did find the nerd gen, i am surprised that so many of us had msx computers, my mates only had commodores's and ibm compatible's
i had a sony hitbit 32KB, i believe that was msx. I am just getting used to my universal, so have not downloaded any emulators, do i just download it and install like any other application?
will keep you posted soon as i manage to get something going, have a nice weekend

Hi xda_guy
I am glad I did
I am starting to think a nerd once, a nerd forever LOL
My friends had commodores & sinclairs, then later on some had MSX, as for IBM compatible, they were VERY expensive that era, as with MSX you could use your TV for display so it was more home oriented.
Anyways if I remember well mine was Yamaha AX170 with 64kB (it is funny how these GREAT games (back then at least) were but a few kBs.
As for the emulators it's not even installation, all you need to do is to download them, then copy them into your storage card or device memory, then run them, you will get the usual warning as it can not identify the software publisher, you can run them and they wont ruin your Universal (they didnt ruin mine), the problem is that I believe they were written for previous version of Windows Mobile, thats why I couldnt get them to operate any ROM, my friend is coming back after the weekend from 12 days business trip, he has an i-mate PDA2k, so I will try it on his PocketPC & see, if you had better luck yourself please tell me what did you exactly do, then we will start a Championship (though my boss wont like it for sure LOL).
Finally I would like to add, I found a stand alone VERY old game from Atari 2600 Generation (remember that big black box? Or am I getting back way too back in time? LOL) I was saying I found a PAC-MAN game that is working ok on my Universal, it does not need emulator or anything, it is a stand alone application, if you are interested (or anyone else) please let me know and I will provide the link or upload it.
Have a nice weekend (or what is left of it)
Cheers & Good night!
hi
i have got a good mind to chane my handle to hitbit_guy , yes, i was using a 14 inch sony as my display yamaha ax170 was more advanced than the sony hitbit if i am not mistaken.
atari2600, that is the original, ah yars revenge was my fave, then along came the atari clone's wow, at some point, the 2600 stood for the number of games "pre-installed". pac-man, yes, very much interested, show me the link. my office mates will be interested

As for display, I used our 20" Sony Trinitron TV (that was really something back then lol, imagine playing your favorite games on that huge display ), I tried to find Emulator for Atari as well LOL, I found one that is distributed as an open source, and I asked a friend who works as games programmer for cellphones to port it for Windows Mobile 2005, will let you know when he is done (if ever LOL), mean while enjoy this (you & your office mates :twisted: dont let the boss catch you LOL)
Good night mate!
thanks for pacman, does it run on hp devices too?
alpha squad, load runner were neat too(there even was a rambo game), however could not get beyond a certain level, the lack of a save functionality on msx killed the chances of completing the games.
i think what will be real cool is playing games during meetings

Good day xda_guy
I am glad you like it, I don't know if it runs on HP devices as I've never tried that, I don't know what their CPU is, and I don't know if it has to do with that, I tried to look for the site of where I got the Pac Man from but I wasn't able to, anyways if I remember well it was designed (if I am not wrong) for ARM CPUs, if HP uses ARM, then I guess since its same software & same hardware, I guess it would work, anyways, you can wait till tomorrow & let one of your office mates with HP PPC try it & let us know
As for Load Runner, absolutely true, it was one of the games I liked (I like puzzle & brainteasing games) the only thing I hated about Load Runner was it lacked music, and it's characters were way too small even for the 20" TV display LOL.
Rambo, nope not my style but my friends liked it, and yes I agree that save game was a missing very important feature, Castle & Castle Excellent did have save game (they charge you for one life to save though), I am trying to remember, did Kings Valley had codes on which you can start from next level if you finished them successfully, or was it just 'The Lost Viking' game for Amiga & PC that did that?!
Have a nice weekend (or what is left of it)
Cheers
hey cerberus
wil try pacman on the hp and will let you know, perhaps it was compiled for the unversal platform and will nto work on the hp?

Hey xda_guy
to be honest, this is the first time EVER since I've joined XDA Developers, that I came to such shock, I was literally :shock: :shock: :shock: you dont know castle & castle excellent??!!!
Dude the main reason I want MSX emulator is because I never had the chance to finish Castle Excellent back them (I did finish Castle though), you might want to check these links
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Castle_(game)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Castle_Excellent
You know the word addiction?! Castle games were my addiction back then (not that things changed much since that time LOL, like I said earlier, a nerd once a nerd forever )
Now whenever the MSX Emulator works for our Universal, I want to ask you to download Castle & we will play & he who finishes first is the winner.
As for HP & PacMan please post your experience here, it might not help me myself as I dont have HP, but it might help others who might want to try the game on their PPC.
Have a great last few hours of weekend
Hello xda_guy
any updates?!
Hello cereberus
sorry for the late reply. work has been a nightmare last one week
i checked out castle, looks interesting and addictive , unfortunately work has taken up most of my time, will install the emulator tomorrow and give it a whirl.
i dont think my colleague tried pacman on hp, he was overwhelmed with work, the boss is away next week so i will ask him to give it a try if he has not tried already
I think this game is by far the best FPS for the xperia plays gamepad. I hated the controls in this game at first but grew to love it.
I set the contols to: move, Shoot, aim and use the directional pad to move and gentle taps of the rights stick to aim and it works flawlessly and very accurate.

I'm gonna go ahead and dissagre with you. I can't play that for **** whit its controls haha I think BF 2 is far more better Better controls, better graphics and so on But that's just what i think. And Rainbow six has a killer multiplayer
I dont know i think batttlefield controls are hard because you have to sort of flick or else you'll overshoot every time whereas modern combat 2 you tap on the right pad to aim. Soo much nicer to play with and alot more accurate. What setup do you use in battlefield and i'll give it a shot

when buying from gameloft, are the installers individually signed to your device, email, phone number, or whatever to prevent piracy? you see, i lost my installer for Modern Combat 2 Black Pegasus, accidentally deleted it when cleaning my SD card so I'm asking gameloft to give me another copy and I've been asking them for ages and still no freakin solution. they just replied once asking for my details and the receipt and that was 3 weeks ago!!!
so if it's not signed and all copies are the same (among the same phone models), maybe you can share to me your APKs for the Xperia Play via PM.. I swear I bought the game! Gameloft just has a crappy customer support. :[
Gameloft games are tied to your account. You just go to the site on your phone and enter your email and phone #. It gives you a section called My Downloads.
Asking for paid games is against the rules here. Even in PM's
Well i didn't know it was to tied to the account... and the My Downloads page thing using their website isn't working (saying I haven't downloaded any when in fact I have downloaded loads of games from them) that's why I posted in their crappy forum in the first place. I'm not dumb to not know that. In fact, everything in their website that is tied to an account doesn't work.
And I'm well informed of that no-warez rule here that's why I was asking FIRST in my previous post if it is tied to the account because if it's not there's no license thing to it. Since you said it is tied to accounts, then now I know.
I called thier 1-800#(or whatever) and they sent me texts with a direct link. They will answer the phone.
Try that.

each device has a unique ID, and so does each gameloft .apk, at first run, each .apk is paired with the unique id of the device running it, after that, the game will only work on the device it was first run on

If I may ask a followup to this, do you know if say a while from now the Xplay 2 comes out and we want to upgrade, will Gameloft allow you to re-download an app you paid for to a new device? Or once its bought and paired you're done. I realize the physical file is paired, but I wonder if it broadcasts this data back to their server as well.

Yeah thats what it does, thats why you need an internet connection the first time you run a game, the game check the apk's id against the paired ones in the database, and if it comes back as already paired, the game quits or gives you the piracy warning
If I was to say get a new phone I would call and have them issue the games again.
But I believe it is tied to your account. I have flashed my phone and when I went back I had to enter my phone number and email address to download them again.
Hell the controls on the updated version (1.0.0) sucks ****..
controls on v1.0.0 for Xperia Play is so ****ed up, any solution?
I dont want it,hard to target,iprefer rainbow six
This game was out of my phone for months now, until yesterday I saw the game's changed icon on the Get Games app so I decided to try the game again hoping the controls were better. And hell yes, they're a lot better. The game is playable now, except from one bug I noticed that kept me from advancing through the very first mission.
Everytime the cinematic shows up where a burning barrel flies toward the player in slow-mo, the action button appears but doesn't seem to be functional. When I touch it, it disappears and my player just stands there and lets the flying barrel blast him into space dust.
Anyone care to try and report back if they experience the same? This is still a good FPS imo especially now that MC3's aim controls are kinda screwed up too with the new update.
If you're on v3.3.9 or earlier, I can agree that MC2 controls are okay.
If you're on any version newer than that (when they reset the version count to 1.0.0) then you're crazy

Its been a while but IIRC one of the game pads buttons functions for the action button, it may have been X or Square or the right trigger, I forget. I remember having a problem with that part when i first played the game.
Hey bros I have a problem, I played mc2 via online and I am level 72 user but when I finish some game ir says that I am 58 level, and when I start a game it says I am 63 level, can somebody tell me what is wrong with my game.

Gameloft is whats wrong with it. Their server that tracks your games doesn't realize 3/4 of the "badges" i earn, and screws that stuff up too.
Hi,
i got my experia play on saturday and since then i have been fighting with my wife for use of it she is a massive ps1 nut and loves games such as crash and kula world.
this has got to the point where she is tempted to sell her 3GS and get a Play herself..... what im wondering is if she does this is there anyway that we could play together is some sort of link on any games/emulators/mmo's?
if so how easy would it be as i know a lot of mmo games put you in a random server
cheers

Most Gameloft games have built in multiplayer functionality both over the internet by WiFi or Local WiFi, so you could play those local. Just included with the Play both Asphalt 6 and Star Battalion support this. As for the PS1 ports both if and when they get released by Sony or by the emulators I don't think Sony will develop this capability and I don't think the Emulators can do it yet.
Yeah, a couple of gameloft games allow multiplayer, and if I remember correctly FPSE has some multiplayer support (tekken and the like) I don't know of any other emulators that do though.
Anyone else have anything to add?
quite a few games including the ps suite games and fpse emulated games allow for 2 players, infact i kicked my brothers arse on hogs of war the other day

I don't think blutooth will be an option for multiplayer... but wifi seems to work. however... i don't have a second set to test it... (the only person I know has one is a girl... not a tech savvy by any means... and I won't waste myteaching her), all my buddies tried to get one the week after I got it... but the price already skyrocket'd ( I got it for 80 USD on a 18 month 30 USD non-data plan, now it is 400 Dlls with the same plan) I GOT LUCKY!!!
http://phandroid.com/2011/12/07/onl...nced-and-now-available-in-the-android-market/
this is awesome!
Xperia Play users should contact them to gain support for this device as it already has MSM8255 chipset (same as many devices already supported) and it has awesome gaming controls inbuilt!!
After seeing this post I went straight to the market and downloaded the onlive app. I managed to load up Batman Arkham City but couldn't get any further than the start of the game as you have to "right-click" to counter attack.
I've emailed OnLive asking if they can add support for the Xperia Play gamepad. If everyone does the same then they might add Xperia Play controls in the future.
could someone upload market link because i can't find it in the market. Europe version.
I emailed them too.
Also if you are going to email them dont demand they they add xperia play support just request it, thats what I did.
I just messaged them using www[dot]onlive[dot]com[slash]corporate[slash]contact
Unless there is a direct email we can use, we should start showing our interest in Xperia Play controls by contacting them via this!
can some one please upload apk i can't download it from market it isn't avaible in europe.
For me it's running wifi-only (Verizon's 3G isn't enough to complete their network test) and works well with on-screen buttons... If they would just enable key-mapping it would be all good...

I haven't had a chance to try it myself, but there is an app called game keyboard that let's you remap keys to the xperia play buttons (in addition to its onscreen keyboard). In addition there is button remapper which lets you remap the O button to something other than the back button key since that one often interferes. Might be worth a shot to try.

Did you try:
To right-click on a tablet:
1. Touch the device with your first finger
2. Tap with your second finger to complete the right-click action
as shown on the Touch Controls for Mobile Devices page?

I was VERY upset when I found that out... OnLive literally takes down my cable, internet and phone after playing for a bit using Wifi on any device, plus, my school permanently blocked their servers when students started using it (GaiKai still works thankfully).
I'm hoping OnLive Inc. will work on Verizon 3G optimization, but in the meantime, I'll be looking around on how to keep OnLive from taking down my entire network.
EDIT: Okay, so OnLive and an Xbox 360 both can't be online at once apparently... Lame. I would love to have Verizon 3G going on this. YouTube (HQ) and the browser seem just fine on 3G. But I also live in a village in the middle of a cornfield so that might also be the problem.
The smartphone universe has reached the max level.
Although this seems to be the best news for XPlay, I must also say that from this point on, the tablets can surpass laptops.
Awesome stuff
When i try to launch a game it just says "Your device doesn't support games bla bla bla"

Has anyone got this game to work on MOJO? Episode 1 is free, as it would be a nice edition to the game selection.
Yes, I can confirm that the game works on mojo. The game is fun so far.
Tell me about it. I stayed up all night finishing the story.

I like how the game changes depending on your actions.
Just wanted to add that it is one of the only games I want that actually works. Though I am now just going to get it on PC. It was niche though to be able to demo it for free first, wish I could do that on PC as well.
