if you have java you can use mobiles24.com you have to sign up (free) and ten you get about 30 dl's a day. there are some ok time killers in there. some are hit and miss with installation. im guessing you have a herald/wing, so you need to select games at 240x320 screen size. give it a shot. after dl open esmertec jbed and menu/install/local files. good luck

There are some emulators for your herald. With these you can download and play nintendo, super nintendo and playstation games.
Here is a link to the emulators:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=369855

does playstation actually run well on the herald? even on my PC (dual core, 2gb ram, x850 platinum video card) there are parts of games that can lag up terribly (during some 3d FMV's and such).
I assume you definitely have to be running a pretty stripped down rom to use it at all playably... would OTP7 be too bulky to run the playstation emu on?
thanks =)

works fine for me.

and it runs *smoothly* on PSX games? wow
thx! =)

I just flashed to OPT 7.3.1, and pocketSNES runs SLOW - it ran slow on the stock ROM as well, but I was hoping a better rom would fix the problem. oh well.
do you have any tips or tweaks for me to speed up my PocketSNES gameplay?
I can't imagine emulating PSX on this phone if even the SNES emu runs slow.....

ANY GOOD PS1 Emulators??????

If you didn't know already, im a pro gamer.
And i usually get sent out to Los Angeles to film some Footage for Directv.
And sometimes, i get to play live.
I usually end up play Classics, like Tekken 3 for the Ps1
And i have tekken 3 for pc and Ps1...
But i was wondering, if i could put it on my Mobile Windows?
So that i can play in the airplain, or just to keep my skills sharp.
I know the possessor of my Hermes is strong enough (400Mhz)
Let me know if theres any Emulators that let me play ISO.
Thanks

Emulation isn't all that easy.
Also, why don't you already own a PSP for this purpose? PSX ISOs work decently.

Of course i had a psp... But its not my thing..
The psp is a load of trash.

You can try FPSece

i have not tested this personally as my device is too weak for it.. just heard this thing works pretty well.. http://www.fpsece.net/index.html

Except for it plays many PSX games beautifuly

EDIT I donwloads FPSECE, an then i put the iso and the program on my WM.
Now, when i load it... It just brings me backk to the Original Menu screen.
Any ideas?
-thanks

this is a bug
dont start it over the icon, run it over the .exe or just wait for v1.0

400mhz with version 0.95/0.96b will be slow..
but the new version will run way better and is coming out soon

this isn't the place for questions.
please refer to the Q&A section.
thank you

Emulators

I know this topic has always been beaten to death but I havn't found anything related to the HTC Touch Pro 2/Tilt 2. I've been looking for NES/SNES/Genesis emulators and I've tired a few, most of them are really laggy especially with sound.
Has anyone found any that work? And if so, did you mod it at all to play better on the Touch Pro 2?
Thanks!

bump. anyone?

A lot of people say morphgear works well. I have it and I think I have an older version because it gives me an error code. I would like to have the newest one. Smartgear is another option but it doesnt to SNES games like morphgear.
For Playstation I have FPSEce and have FF7. It works but is too laggy for me. I just play it on my PSP now.
Anyone have any other info?

Mind to try it with different gfx driver and give us feedback if there are any improvements?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=546522
...would try it myself, but right now i dont have time to STFW on psx game images

I installed that cab and it did not do anything for the emulators i've tried, smartgear and pocketnester. Still real laggy.

[Q] Emulators?

How are emulators such as snesoid, gameboid, and psx4droid running on this? psx4droid or the other PS1 emulator running a lot better due to Tegra? Mine shipped today and will be here tomorrow and I'm just wondering...thanks!

FPSE is out for PSX emulation - it has worked well for Notion Ink Adam owners so far.

Yeah that's the one I meant. I've been playing around with it on my Droid X and it runs so much better than psx4droid. Do the emulators scale to the screen normally?

I havent personally tried yet as im waiting for my notion ink, but my friend has and says it works really well - you can choose the scaling in the options

awesome!
i just tried out pokemon fire red on gameboid. its hilarious to see it so big. lol. but it works great. scaling sound and controls are perfect.

Amazing lol
Bluetooth Wiimote controller app still work as well? I'll end up using this as a damn portable >_<
Any word on that nullDC Dreamcast emu port? Should run a hell of a lot better on this beast!

Emulators are working great! Fullscreen and everything.

hmm i havent tried the wiimote just yet. i'm mid homework so ill give that a run in a few. ive never beleived in touch screen emulation other that games like pokemon or yugioh card games because movement isn't all that important. i cant imagine trying to run something like god of war without physical buttons.

Would anyone be kind enough to post a pic of their Xoom running snesoid, or any other emulator in 16:9 full screen/4:3 fullscreen? Mine was just delivered at my house but I'm stuck at work for another 6 hours...kill me. Thanks!

Gensoid works perfectly as well. I haven't tried any other generation emulator yet (NES, PS1, etc).

Yeah SNESoid and Gensoid are the top two I would use anyway (born in late 80s lol). It'll be interesting to see that nullDC (Dreamcast emu port) running on this. I know someone has it semi-running on some older hardware and it should run pretty decent on this.
n64droid is also right around the corner...who needs apps? XD

i havent got an emulator yet and might with the xoom since it seems perfect for this kind of thing. Do you have to buy games once you get the emulator or do the games come with them? my xoom comes in today, its already in the city im just waiting for delivery

You have to find a site that you can download them from, not mentioning any since it might be against the rules here. I mean, there are apps where you can pay for a pack of roms, but it's just a total rip off.
I actually do own all the games (even the old carts) that I download roms for though, so I'm 100% safe either way =P

alright thanks for the info. Im pretty good at searching so im pretty sure i can find them. They dont have to be android specific right?

Nope, not specific. Only specific thing is the emulator per platform. I suggest trying out snesoid lite before buying to make sure everything goes good.

Can you use the wiimote with the xoom?

Hitting the shoulder buttons looks like it would be a *****. Other than that, looks great!

Just buy RomBuddy from the market. Works great, you pay a couple bucks for RomBuddy but then you can download a metric **** ton of free roms for gameboy/nes/snes/genesis and such from it.

[Q] MOJO mod questions

Okay, saw this can be rooted now.
So my questions, desire for advice, are....
1) Would there be a benefit of installing a custom rom?
2) Will installing a custom rom erase necessary programs that will allow the controller to successfully map to the games I want to play?
3) I'm really only get this because I want to use a good PSX emulator that can use the chip's power to use the shaders and give the games a good HD makeover. This should be more than possible with something like this, right? Basically I'm creating a super PSX device + some N64 emulator. My hope is that I can play this games on 1080p on my television, using either the controller that comes with it, or at least my PS3 controller.
4) Would using apps that overclock this device help game performance?
Should I wait to root this when the official MOJO kitkat android update comes out or does it matter?
Thanks for all your advice!

1) Would there be a benefit of installing a custom rom?
For psx emulation, I doubt it.
2) Will installing a custom rom erase necessary programs that will allow the controller to successfully map to the games I want to play?
Again, not really the controller is easy to map as is (at least with the ouya's emulators)
3) I'm really only get this because I want to use a good PSX emulator that can use the chip's power to use the shaders and give the games a good HD makeover. This should be more than possible with something like this, right? Basically I'm creating a super PSX device + some N64 emulator. My hope is that I can play this games on 1080p on my television, using either the controller that comes with it, or at least my PS3 controller.
What you want can be done on the MOJO, just depends on the games.
I haven't tried PSX emulation, but N64 is pushing it- playable but very laggy at least with mupen64plus AE.

I can confirm NES.emu, SuperGNES, GBC.emu, GBA.emu, DraStic, FPSE, NEO.emu, MD.emu, PCE.emu, SAT.emu, PPSSPP, and SuperN64 (A branch of Mupen64).
All work flawlessly except PPSSPP (doesn't support the D-PAD at the moment, and sound is laggy). Also, DraStic is really wonky because it models the DS touchscreen....Works with a mouse, but that feels strange to use the controller and a mouse....Then again, it's sort of like using a Wii. Heh..

The mojo's controller is better, the PS3 controller will have to be wired in I think.
The R1/R2 might be only digital and not analog depends on the emulator detection of R1/R2.
4) Would using apps that overclock this device help game performance?
Yes it would, but not sure how playable the games would be.
Should I wait to root this when the official MOJO kitkat android update comes out or does it matter?
It's nice that it can be rooted, but I don't really need it, I'm fine waiting for kitkat, but if you want to overclock then you'll need to root it.
I'll be installing FPSE and SuperN64 soon, I'll let you know how I go :fingers-crossed:

Yes, please do!
One last question. You mentioned that the N64 emulator isn't running well on this. Isn't there one on the Ouya??? I could only imagine that on that one, using the much lesser chip (the tegra 3) it would run like crap, if at all.
Im I missing something? Or is this an accurate observation?

SuperN64 is decent, but there really isn't a good N64 emulator at this time. They're all built from the exact same code, just changed the names, really. When one updates, they all seem to update within a few days. My judgement that SuperN64 is flawless has gone out the window because it cannot run Conker at decent speed....One of my all-time favorite games. I still like it, though. From what I've read, I think N64oid is probably a bit less laggy.
Also, I've not tried with it yet (I don't have a cable to root, so I cannot install the mapping software), but the PS3 controller is compatible without needing the cable. It connects with BT, just as it does on tablets or phones.

I don't have an ouya but if you youtube ouya's N64 videos you'll see.
The mojo's is playable, overclocking would help but not sure by how much.
I'll do a youtube video of N64 and PSX on mojo
@ExtremeRyno, I'll try Conker tonight using my mupen64plus AE see what FPS I get

How soon until MOJO gets an update and KitKat?
Any idea if this is coming soon?
Any idea on what the update will fix in terms of bugs, etc?

@ExtremeRyno, I tryied Conker using my mupen64plus AE, at 300% it's laggy but not too bad, the sound is messed up tho.
Pretty crappy you have to sit through the intro lol
Anyway I have my settings there so you can see it.
 @Pleiades7, I also did some other random games too
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZGbdTEVF2pw
I couldn't get any of the free PSX emulators working on my iso's.
I'll try again next week and I'll install the other N64 emulators, but I'm pretty happy with mupen.

Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think it's possible to make PSX games look or perform any better than they did on the original playstation hardware. Emulators are made to best mirror the hardware the games were originally intended to run on. I think that's why some roms wont work or have trouble playing on any emulator for that reason. Sure your playing the games on a 1080p TV through the MOJO, but that doesn't automatically convert the games themselves to HD quality.

I get that. But those games blown up on a big 1080p look pixelated and really show their age anyways.
BUT an emulator like FPse includes OpenGL plugins that redraw the textures and graphics in a way I don't fully understand but transform those games. Just try Twisted Metal 2 on your PS3. Then open up a emulator on your MOJO and play the same game in FPse but turn on the high res open gl plugin. Not only will you feel the difference, but you will swear you are playing a different game. No where was that more apparent than in the Resident Evil Games. Pixelated zombies which might have been novel long ago feel dated now. But those filters on FPse and PCSXreloaded , etc., redraw the monsters in a way that is now thematically coherent and gives the games a fresh coat of paint they always deserved, especially fun considering you couldn't play those games in HD back in the day.
In any case, that's what fun about these things for me. The chance to preserve great games in all their glory and then some.

I haven't messed around with Fpse that much to realize it can use OpenGL. That's pretty cool, kinda anxious to try it out now

I've got shaders enabled, and it runs just swell. Crash Bandicoot looks great, and games like Wipeout still run at 100%.

I will check that out this evening. Thanks for the tip.

Just wondering if anyone has tried to install a custom recovery and do a nandroid backup. I didn't know how different this device differs from a phones software.

I don't know, if someone of the developers knows a working way to flash a working custom recovery.
As you can see in the way how the root method works, there seems no other way to get out of bootloader/fastboot mode, as to unplug the USB and power cable.
That means, you can't be simple do "fastboot boot xxx.img" and boot a temporarily kernel or recovery.
I have tried it with some of the kernel/recovery images from Nvidia Shield, but after loading the image, it stucks in bootloader.
