Sega Genesis emulators - JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General

Hi,
I don't own a HTC universal *yet*, but I would like to know if there are any reasonable Genesis emulators for it.
I found PocketGenesis and PicoDrive, and tested them on the windows PPC emulator and my dads HP4700.
To my suprise PocketGenesis would not work, at all, whatever I tried. Picodrive did give me the introduction screen and such, basically all but sound, however remapping the keys on Picodrive is near impossible (you'll have to manually edit a txt file) so I could play my favourite game ZeroWing on that either.
So my question is, has anyone succeeded in getting a decent Genesis emulator on the Universal ?
Thank you,
TB

lol.
No but my acorn electron emy works a treat!
Now lemme just boot up Zaxxon

Whats the name of the emulator? Sounds good.

How To Install Emulator

Hey I downloaded 2 different emulators and I have no idea how to install them. I tried with Active Sync, I tried straight from the card. Nothing's working for me. Anybody got a sticky on what to do with the emulators and roms?
download this to your desktop
install it
look for the games you want here
download the games to your /my documents folder on your pocket pc or to your storage card root
start the nes emulator on your pocket pc and enjoy
thanks man.. . been wanting to ask that question but was just afraid to get flamed...
seem to have a hard time figuring out how to use the controls? which buttons do you use and how do you assign them?
do any of you have trouble playing either of the nes emulators youve gotten i got them to play just can never touch the screen or it becomes almost unresponsive pocket nester you install from pc and pocket nester plus launch straight from file explorer those are by far the best emulators I have came across just have problems with this phone
SWEET! cant wait to play super mario brothers!
i uninstalled it for the same reasons. i think it has a problem with the samsung cpu that is in the hermes. from what i hear, it works great on the wizards. if anyone figures out the problems please post it.
It worked fine for me. I was playing Tecmo Bowl and all that.

me too.. i want to find out if its possible to play on landscape mode.
I've tried several different ways and landscape does not work. The video quality goes up significantly if you turn the volume off (in the app, not on the device). Some of the buttons cannot work for the controller (like the phone button). Otherwise it works perfectly and if you're playing, hit 'save state' under 'file' and you can restart from that second.
Thanx for the info, I was wondering where this lost memories were? Thanx.

SNES Emulation Speed

I've been thinking of getting an HTC P4350 (Herald) lately, but the one thing holding me back is the 200MHz TI OMAP 850 processor. What I am interested in finding out before making the purchase is how well the 200MHz processor handles SNES emulation. Because I play SNES games like Chrono Trigger alot, I would like to make sure that the Herald can handle these games at a decent speed before I make the purchase. If anyone can let me know their experience with SNES emulation on the Herald, I'd greatly appreciate it. Thanks in advance!
Hi Jester_b84
I've been using the SNES Emulator on the Herald. The games we're running good with 200 MHz processor speed of the Herald. What I have never got working is the sound of SNES games.
And I've never played your game "Chrono Trigger" but a lot of other like "Super Mario" and "F-Zero".
Another possibility is to overclock the processor for playing SNES games. Just look around the forum. I'm sure you'll find some more information about overclocking the Herald...
Raftbone
Hello raftbone, thanks for your response. It's good news that you have SNES running smoothly on the Herald. I used to use n0p's port of SNES9x and it was running great, but slightly slow on my 624MHz processor and there were incompatibilities with some games I like to play. I switched to MorphGear tonight and it ran very smoothly (with sound) on a 624MHz processor. If only I could try it on a 200MHz processor, that would be great...
Hi Jester
I'll try it for you. Just downloaded MorphGear. I only need to find some free time today to test it on the herald. I'll let you know my experience as soon as I can...

Thanks raftbone! I will wait eagerly for your results.
Sorry for the long delay... I've tested MorphGear with my Herald. Games like Super Mario run very smooth, but what I cannot get working is the sound. Same problem as with Pocket SNES.
The other problem with MorphGear is, that the display does not automatically switch to landscape mode when sliding out the keyboard...
If you'd like to play SNES games, this is in general no problem with the Herald (but without sound) but I prefer Pocket SNES than MorphGear...
Hope this may help you
Thank you for your testing raftbone, I greatly appreciate it! At first, I could not get sound working under MorphGear either - but here is my solution:
- Go to Global Settings
- Make sure "Enable Sound" is checked & Volume @ 100%
- Go to SNES9x (SNES) settings
- Under "Sound", make sure both "Enable Sound" and "Emulate" are checked
- Close and re-launch MorphGear.
Now, sound should work perfectly!
Thanks for the hint. Sounds works now
So which runs faster, n0p's or MorphGear?
they're more ore less running on the same speed...
my personal favourite is still n0p's pocket snes.
don't know about yall but i was trying to run chrono trigger with n0ps and it was sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo slow

Did you try MorphGear? On my current PPC, MorphGear runs much faster than n0p's PocketSNES port when playing Chrono Trigger.
Hello, I was chacking out the Herald today at T-Mobile. Generally, how well does it feel to pay SNES or NES on the phone? I assume you use the directional buttons as the d-pad. What about A, B, X, Y, and L & R?
Games like Mario World are very demanding of precise control. Is the Herald a good platform for playing such games?
Thanks!
I haven't been playing SNES stuff yet, just NES games right now, but for the controls, I've found that using the slide out keyboard is a lot more comfortable for me than the built-in buttons. I map the A/B?etc buttons to the keyboard buttons (don't map to the arrow buttons though) and when playing games, I'll slide out the keyboard, change the orientation back to portrait, and launch my emulator. Games that require multiple button presses (e.g., pressing A while holding down B) are still a little difficult for me to play, but otherwise works pretty well.
As for Morphgear, I'll have to give it a try for the SNES emu...I used it for NES emu and it was slower than Pcoketnester.
Can anyone please attach the CAB files for Morphgear and the SNES module? The official Morphgear site is undergoing some work, and you can't download from there right now.

Nevermind, I finally found it, but it refuses to load an SNES rom on my T-Mobile wing. It complains about a lack of memory.

Silly question but did you try a soft reset before? Did you try removing anything that takes up memory (like Today plugins) and trying again?
@vudu: What emulator are you using BTW?

I tried the reset. I didn't try disabling anything on the Today Screen, though I had already disabled everything except MyFavs and BatteryStatus.
It's all moot now. I returned my Wing and cancelled my T-Mobile account. Mobile IE is a spectacular POS. A web browser was the primary reason I bought a PDA phone, so when the browser sucked, the phone sucked.
I ran morphgear on my PPC 6700, it ran most games fine, would slow down sometimes if a lot was going on at once. I don't think I ever had a problem with the sound, just had to tinker with the settings. I liked morphgear much better than pocetsnes. Chrono Trigger played well, with a slight delay. The PPC 6700 has a 400mhz processor, I don't know about the Herald because it has 200mhz, but I am getting a Wing this week so I would like to know if it's worth even installing.

Anyone using an emulator (like MAME) to play old video games?

I downloaded MAMECE3 and it works pretty good with a couple of games. I have some old ROM images that seem to work pretty good on the Artemis. I've been playing this old game called Tempest (1982) that has a rotary action and I've been trying to fine-tune the movement of the scroll wheel/Roller-R. The MAME emulator doesn't really have an option for a rotary control, just up, down left right. Anyone know of any other emulators that may work better with the Artemis' Roller-R controller?
Please put me in the correct forum if I'm in the wrong one.

Emulator for Touch Pro2 (+roms)

Guys,
Any good emulators for HTC Touch Pro 2 on the net? - GBC
- GBA
- PS
Any nice games/roms for these emulators?(for example i would like to have the whole pokemon series (from GBC to GBA (to DS if possible)))
What are your sources? sites and ****
Will there be emulators of PSP or DS or something or isnt that possible?
Thanks
Dont think those emulators exists.
I was looking for emulators of nes and sega, could find anything..
You can use morphgear if you change your IME settings so it can recognise the keyboard. However, Genesis module crashes and SNES isn't so stable either. SNES is usable though.
I've so far found FPSCe for PS(x?), Pocketgnuboy for GBC and Morphgear for GBA..
But shouldnt TP2 be able to play games from DS and PSP platforms.. it at least has a better CPU?? or doesnt that have anything to do with it?

Please note, you need to emulate EVERYTHING from DS and PSP! Our beloved Pro2 isn't capable of that!
Simply try to play a GBA game with sound enabled and you know how many power such an emulation would need!
P.S.:
Have you tried PocketGBA for GBA games? Loved it on my old dead Diamond!

Just because it has a higher CPU speed, does not mean it should be able to process stuff from other platforms better.
All CPUs have different architectures. The CPU in the Touch Pro2 is an evolution of the ARM architecture. The DS also uses an ARM class processor, but uses a different instruction set.
The PSP uses a MIPS CPU.
Modern computers use variations of the x86 architecture.
The reason why they are called "Emulators" is because they have to emulate the instructions and architechture of the processor of the other device. This wastes a HELL of a lot of your own devices CPU cycles.
This is why running a PlayStation (33MHz MIPS CPU) emulator on a 500MHz x86 PC CPU is pretty slow, despite having 15x the CPU speed.
Does anybode here have a NES or/and SNES emulator, which one supports landscape modus ???
I am using an TP2
1.53 CRASHEs after i try to load the selected rom.
Thanks a lot !
After I have watched the following video, I found that TP2 is quite smooth for playing some games on emulator.

You can also try emulating PC (not just DOS). You can mount any ISO as CDROM drive, there is Windows95 image ready to use, so no need to install, just start it up and play with it.
I got it all to work, it's not very slow, sometimes I click on something and it opens in 1-2 seconds, so not bad.
Not something to install games and play, but something cool to show off and play with.
I managed to add NE2000 network card but couldn't get network to work yet.
Works well on Touch Pro2, including Landscape mode.
After you press F12, hardware keyboard Enter key works as mouse click (single and double click). F5 turns full screen on.

P.S. There also is older MAC OSX image, loads pretty quickly under that emulator.
I think SNES emulator works...
you may try this..

wow, wait a sec.. does that mean that you managed to make an emulator work for the TP2 , which also supports landscape and full screen ?
If thats the case, than i wanna know where i cant find the software, before we go further with the games
If there is someone here in this whole forum, who wants it the most, than its definitely me
Im curiously waiting for a reaction ....

(allthough i thought that the gba emulators are in landscape what i saw on youtube.. but don't wanna give you false hope)
laterss..
I'd definitely be getting on this when I get my TP2 next week. I love using emulators for gaming on my Wizard and will definitely find ways to get SNES,PS,GBA working.

psx is playstation one. FPSeCE will run playstation games on Windows Mobile. There is a new version that should be coming out soon I've been keeping an eye on this one.
www.fpsece.net
and how about a c64 emu for wvga?
the *morphgear* is a great emulator (nes,snes,mdrive,gboy,gboycolor....) to full screen mode u have to go in the config settings,tap the vgame u'll play(nes,snes....) and change de zoom 100% to window size. u have to change de driver to (auto to GDI) , in orientation stay in north. to config the inputs u have to tap your virtual keyboard and tap "other inputs method", if u don't to it u'll stock inthe config input method and the number 229 will appear in all buttons. thanks

MAME on Rhodium.........

Sorry if this has been posted before, but I used the search and google and have come up empty on this subject.
Is there an MAME emulator that is capable of running on the TP2?
I installed MAMECE3 and Pocketcult Mame, but neither work properly on the TP2 because it lacks hardware keys and is not able to remap them to the keyboard.
Has anyone been able to get MAME to work?
Those emulators haven't seen much in the way of updates for a few years now, and even then, on the Tilt/Kaiser, they ran pretty badly. It's going to be a while before anyone has a definitive way to provide inputs for portrait orientation games in general, but even more so for a MAME emulator.
Perhaps this can work:

Not sure about VGA - WVGA compatibility...
If you really want to get it working and have an extra $50 to blow, you can get a Zeemote Bluetooth joystick for $40 and this driver for $10. I just got mine yesterday and so far I've got it working great with Pocket Cult MAME 0.5, Pocket VCS, and Morphgear.
Unfortunately, most of the roms I've tried for PC MAME haven't worked. Here's my list of working games so far, but I'm still testing more of them as I go:
1941
1942
Alien Syndrome
Bad Dudes
Gondomania
Gyruss
Karnov
Klax
Popeye (bootleg)
Rampage
Rastan
Robocop
Rygar
Section Z
Sidearms
Time Pilot 84
Trojan
Xenophobe
Yie Ar Kung Fu
