Hello,
I own a XDA Exec for a week and I try to install pocket version of the games on universal. I tried Pocket Quake, followed the instructions, but the game is not displayed after launch (black game window), although I hear the sounds of the usual demo and menu so the game is running. When I close the game, I can see the last screen from the game rendered. I suspect its something with the GAPI (gx.dll). I copied the file included in the Pocket Quake to Windows directory overwriting the one that was there, but after each soft reset, the old file is back in place. I also tried to run Duke3D, but I get the same black screen in GAPI mode and shifted and splitted image in non-gapi mode. I am running pretty old ROM (1.13). Any help will be appreciated.

ive got quite a few java games designed for normal phones on my PC
and would like to play them on the ATOM.
when i put the files on the phone and install the game, i goto the JAVA application in program menu, but when i run the game, all i get is a blank screen.
Does anyone have any idea on how to get these .JAR applications to work?
I recently put the Sony Playstation emulator FPSEce 9.6 on my Cingular 8525 and it is way too cool! Curently I have Army Men 3D (full speed), Crash Bandicoot (kinda slow but playable), Tekken 1 (kinda slow but playable), Mega Man (near full speed), Gran Turismo 1 (kinda slow but playable), Driver 1 (kinda slow but playable), San Rush Extreme Racing (near full speed), Twisted Metal 4 (near full speed), and Ready 2 Rumble Boxing (kinda slow but playable) all playing on my phone! Guy's try it out, you won't find better pocket pc games than those of Playstation 1. Just own the games and a Playstation to make having the bios legal (Google on how to extract bios).
What I want out of this post is for everyone that uses FPSEce on this phone to list the games that they have found to be compatible with the tytn model phone running this emulator. I will update it as well when I find any new compatible games. Enjoy!
I use Metal Slug X Super Vehicle 001 full speed
mortal kombat 2 & Cool Boarders 3 runs a bit slower..
Is there a Site where i can find the Images?
Or do I have to rip everything by myselve?
As above, but legally speaking I would guess you need to own the originals!!!
What size files do these games produce when ripped and what software do you use?
Crash Bandicoot is my all time favorite game on the PS... you mentioned its slow, but playable... is it so slow that I might end up throwing my MDA across the room
To answer the first question, yes you do need to own the originals. I have a used game store that I visit that still sells used playstation 1 games. Most of them they let me have for $3 to $5 each. Pretty cheap pocket pc games if you ask me!
I use a program called "Magic Iso" to rip the games. Then I use a program called "Pocket Iso" to rip out the movies and shrink them. To get Magic Iso just go to (www.magiciso.com), I only use the trial version of this software. To get Pocket Iso go to (www.fpsece.net). I have been able to shrink a game down to between 39mb to 304mb. Some games will let you rip out all the movies and music where some will not. Kind of a trial and error thing.
Crash is like I said "playable" @ maybe 12 - 14 fps. There is a frame skip option on FPSEce that you can use that helps some. To some that frame rate might convince someone to throw their MDA across the room but there are other games that play at near full speed that you can always use. Still cool to see Crash on a PDA though! Hope all this helps!
Does it eat up a lot of battery life quickly when you play the games?
Not that I've noticed. The juice holds up very well! As a matter of fact I can't tell tell any difference between running this emulator and running a normal ppc application when it comes to battery life. Hope that helps!
Crazy thing, I experimented with a Gameboy Advance emulator yesterday for this phone and the Playstation 1 emulator not only has much better graphics but on average runs I'd say 10% faster! I was surprised that PocketGBA was so taxing! One advantage that PocketGBA had over FPSEce was that the roms are so much smaller. Anyhow, just thought I'd give you guy's a little more info on my findings.
I just found this (kind of slow, lol) but I was wondering how those running it were doing with performance?
I put it on my 8525 and downloaded the Spyro Demo (that was in the thread to download fpseCE) and it ran like... 13 fps. which is kind of unplayable.
Also, if I get a call/text/notification of any sort, or run it in anything other than portrait mode, I can't quit it and have to soft reset.
Any performance tips? Or any idea what my problem is with the buttons/options/inability to quit thing? lol
Thanks.
Hope this helps.
What version of fpsece are you using? I'm running the latest release of the emulator (fpsece 9.6). So, for starters get the latest release if you don't have it because I noticed ALOT more bugs in the older releases. Depending on how you map your buttons it should take care of if pulling up the other applications you mentioned. Me, I have my controls mapped to my keyboard and I run the emulator in landscape mode. Also, to assist in the speed issue, I run the emulator on a frameskip of 3 and that seems to work well for most games. Of course it's not going to play as good as it did on the PS1 but I think you will find alot of games to be more than playable. Just keep in mind that you are playing far superior games on your pocket pc with the PS1 games and it will need just a little patience to enjoy. Hope that helps!
Has anyone managed to get FFVII running nicely on this on a Hermes?
I get jerky sound and no FMV support, anyone managed to get it ok?
thanks, Forlornity
any answer?
Well I've solved that problem now: bad rip, but I still have a problem in landscape mode: I can't exit without using soft resetting! Has anyone got a workaround for this?
Nevermind, I've fixed that too, for those of you wondering: Just ensure that you assign a "menu" button before going into landscape mode and when you press that menu button, ensure your Hermes is closed (i.e. No keyboard visible)
NICE! how does Parasite EVE 2 run on this?
can it detect CD change?
I'm able to run Final Fantasy VII at nearly full speed on my WM6 Wizard. Of course I need to overclock a little so its smoother without any frame skip. I hate the frame skip on such a good game like FF7.
There are a couple glitches with the new 9.6 version but much better than the previous one I tried. Sometimes the Messenger and IE buttons instead of doing their PS equivalent it opens up messenger/IE. Also sometimes the title bar appears and it covers up the right side of the screen in landscape.
Has anyone able to tweak a little extra performance out of the emulator by glyph / font / file system tweaks? Or by increasing those buffers does it slow down the game because of the lesser amount of available RAM?
"Oh you got the iPhone ...whoopdie freakin do ...can it play PLAYSTATION games like mine can??? I don't think so... puahhhahahahhaa"
Can som1 confirm if the games are playable on a HTC touch?
Anyone try to run Castlevania: Symphony of the Night? If so, does it stand up to playing it on the PS1 at all? If it does, I'd like to know, as this game would definately be my reason to download the emulator!
problem with emulator
the emulator goes back to the starting menu screen when I try to load an iso. I have set the bios and mapped the buttons to the keyboard. I also turned the screen to landscape and turned framskip on. Does anyone else have this problem? Is this a bad rip or another problem? The iso I used works perfectly on my playstation.
The emulator would actually go to the about screen after I try to load an iso.
Can someone post exactly how they installed this onto their Hermes? I want to find out what I'm doing wrong!
Ive run this on the hermes and magician and both had the same problem with the button layouts. The games will run ok once you set them up but the controls are in wierd places so gameplay is hard if not impossible especially on some of the faster moving games.
And as for buttons on the screen, that would work great if it was multi point touch.
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.
I have an 8525 running WM 6 and I finally got Warcraft 2 working after having to download different files and everything in my /Storage Card/Program Files getting erased.
The game works okay, but I was wondering how to enable the Multiplayer part of it.
Also the shortcut keys on the 8525 won't work with the game, and when I open the screen it disables me from being able to touch the screen. Thanks!
it cant connect to normal warcraft2 games only to wargus servers
http://wargus.sourceforge.net/contact.shtml
maybe you should read this

It looks as though I need to extract something from the CD onto my 8525? If so, what files go where?
Anybody????
I took care of the touch screen problem, I just really want to know how to get multiplayer to work. I am a legal owner of Warcraft 2 Battle Net Edition
Thanks
as stated you cant use wargus to connect to battleneck
you cant use wargus to connect to games with real warcraft2

Hi MG, an old thread, but mayb you'll remember. I've been trying to install warcraft 2 based on the stratagus port on my hermes, and this happens: it starts up, goes to menu screen, and does not respond to screen or buttons. its not hung, i can do a normal shutdown or sometimes even minimize w gesture (the assigned hard button wont minimize). I also let it wait for like half an hour, no change. Do you have any advice, is that something you had to fix with yours? Thanks
Hey, I found a link here on xda to a youtube video showing a game(Art of Fighting), and I wanna know if it really just a ROM emulator is, or is it game you install on your phone?
The user is 520darky on youtube, and he's got a few other games aswell.
If someone can reply to my question, can they please tell me where to get the games, either emulated ROM or Cab files.
Thanks in advance.
Cheers,
scruffy_joe
Morphgear or FPSECE. Do a google/xda search!
actually, for running art of fighting the emulator you need is Final Burn, it runs neo-geo games, CPS1 and CPS2, you can find roms in here http://romhustler.net. All games I've tried run pretty smooth ( super street fighter 2 turbo, marvel Vs. Capcom, art of fighting, street fighter alpha 2, etc )
any 1 got this working
managed to get the game started, credits loaded, and started a fight
but when i try to assign the keys it just doesnt work
i can assign 3 of the dpad keys but one always goes to home
also the on screen buttons, do not work as the game automatically pauses and goes into portrait mode
is there any easy was of disabling this so i can use finalburn, as graphics are quality

Yeah it works great for me, go into options and make sure enable screen keypad is ticked and use mode 1 (fire buttons) - then when you start a game pause it and go to Options-Keys- and re=map the buttons....i've got my back button (0x5C) mapped to coin and the centre button as start (0x8E) and everything works fine.
im using finalburn and havent managed to get either of super street fighter 2 turbo, marvel Vs. Capcom, art of fighting, street fighter alpha 2 to work - managed to get cps1 roms to work but not neogeo. iv got the neogeo.zip (bios) in the roms directory but still no luck. maybe im using an incompatible rom.
can anyone email me or pm me a link to a working rom?
I have mapped the keys and made sure the screen buttons are on
still my game pauses wen i press anywhere on the screen and i can not map the home key, all other keys i can map
but i only have 6 i can map??
is this anything to do with the cooked rom i am running maybe, swift
