x86 emulator for PocketPC

I'm looking for some x86 emulator that works on Windows Mobile 5 or 6. I used Pocket Bochs, but it doesnt work on my Qtek9100 with WM 5 nor WM 6. Is there any way how to run it on WM5/6 or is there some other x86 emulator for WM5/6? Google didnt found anything else than Pocket Bochs.

plz NO MORE BOCHS name EVER!
there are some other versions and builds of x86 emulators...
dosboxes by n0p - ok on wizard,
n0p cvs build(only which lead me to launch fallout on ppc..13 mb RAM!, master of orion playable, even HOMM was ok, settlers in 800x600, settlers 2...and playable jack jazz rabbit ) - works ok on wizard,
n0p dosbox xscale optimised - cant remember if its ok on wizard,
dosbox 6.1 - didnt want to try,
dosbox for wm03se - i cant find it on HDD...
some older dosboxes(arent optimised),
pdosbox 1.1 - forget it..,
pdosbox 2.0 - damn fast DAMN unstable....didnt test it on wizard
pckdos(made as pdosbox 2.x, more stable than 2.0)-seems to be quite slow on wizard, best mouse control,
pocketdos(fast 286, until 386/486 plugins used, then slow like bochs, i launched fallout on that 1 too ...)....works fine on wizard...
qemm- did not test...
3/4 of speed is to set PROPER cfg options.... so if its slow... its wrong set, or you are trying to make it on improper device ...
i am on wizard now, i was earlier on 400 mhz xscale...trust me wizard is slow with pc emus, always , but dosbox cvs seems to be fastest...when we are talking about usability.
for 286 pocketdos may be best...though.
btw, do not waste time with 195 mhz..lol... start from 243-273 mhz ...
link to dosboxes by n0p..:
http://n0p.tonych.info/?Welcome
btw - theres port of WARCRAFT 2 too, and ONLY sega mega drive emulator, that is able to run EU roms(pirates, cannon fodder, lemmings, lemmings tribes, etc)...
n0p is great.

Guys and gals, don’t forget to check out my brand new, MS-DOS / x86 emulation-related article at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=1276884
(Sorry for flooding – IMHO, this article certainly deserves attention because it answers ALL the questions a Windows Mobile user may want to EVER ask about emulating MS-DOS. Make sure you read it!)

wow, respect, seems to be very interesting article!

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.
Instructions:

P.S. There also is older MAC OSX image, loads pretty quickly under that emulator.

I think SNES emulator works...
you may try this..

Not working on my TP2..
Gives a SEND - Do not send error after i chose the rom to load..
Is there anyone who managed to make it work on the tp2 ?

oke thanks guys for emulator info and software..
now.. what kind of nice games/software you guys got installed on your babies..?

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

FpseCE 0.1[ps1 emu] on jade

fpsece is program that can run ps1 games on pocketpc devices ....i said why don't gave it a try on jade as it supposed to run this program at good speed ....and this link shows games requirement [high end device-or mid device- slow device] [http://www.fpsece.net/forum2/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=101&sid=018ce0e0a570239526038ac18bea01a3] .....i decided to try the games that can work on slow devices ...the problem is even games that supposed to run very fast as thay said it run so slow not playable at all ..........
i just want to make sure that this is the speed of jade on this program its oky if it dosen't work
so can pepole share their experience with this progeam srry for my bad english

i´m using fpsece 0,10 on my jade with great success.
first of all, you have to try as much game sas possible to be able to pick those which runs good. second, prefer PAL versions over NTSC, they are reported to have more speed. third, you need ti fiddle with game config file to find what setting works best - no sound helps me get more speed. Also games ripped with Pocket ISO runs better.
i am personally very happy with this app, the fact that Jade have no HW butons except D-pad makes many games (ports like Quake, DN..) unplayable... you are never getting Tomb Raider to work with Jade, because lack of buttons.
This all is dealt with in fpsece, you can configure onscreen buttons - as many as you want plus configure D-pad, even to a point it follows screen orientation...
definitely worth a try.
I tried many games but these are running realy good:
Wipeout - full speed! will be your number 1.
GranTurismo 1,2 -pretty fast, 1st one mostly
Ridge Racer Revolution & Ridge Racer Type 4 - playable cca 20-30fps
Resident Evil Survivor - smooth enough, 20+fps
Hidden & Dangerous - same as above, only one real FPS that works that good
old doom-likes, Exhumed...
now i´m trying to optimize even V-Rally´s performance to move up... will see
, read forums, play with it.

thx for reply....and yea games works with good fps without sound i have tried twisted metal 2 ntsc verison i think and it work very good 28+
you can use volume buttons but if u not pressed and hold on it because if u hold it will disable and enable volume ...this problem only on with this emulator because we can use call ,reject and volume buttons in other emu like snes with no problem so i hope they fix it.......
and about editing game config file ..all i know is sound off and on idon't know what else i can customise so i will put some lines and tell me what to edit:
ForceGDI=off
EnableLFB=on
ForceVGA=off
GfxDrv=2
[GPUSOFT]
Odd_Even_Fix=0
Busy_Fix=0
Lazy_Update_Fix=1
High_Res_Boot_Fix=1
Frame_Skip_Mode=1
ithink that all we can edit

Emulator Nes or Snes on Expo

Can any of you recommend a nes or snes emulator for lg our expo?
I've tried many but the resolution is not uniform for our phone.
thanks everyone for this wonderful forum

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=489147
I too have been looking for a free solution; but it looks like the best we have right now is to pay for morphgear.

I did an Emulator round up using my eXpo/IQ a little while ago, but I posted it elsewhere (http://www.lg-expo.com/lg-expo-games/consolearcade-emulator-round-up/). Anyway, here are the parts that dealt with NES and SNES....
A couple of notes:
- Support for our hardware keyboard is spotty. Often only a few keys are recognized by most emulators (see here.. . http://www.lg-expo.com/lg-expo-games/smartgear/msg6873/#msg6873). The rest usually can't be mapped (FPSCE) or have issues when they are able to be mapped (Morphgear & Smartgear).
- Even when using valid keys that the emulator can map, you are generally limited to 2 buttons at a time and even then there are issues (see above link)
- The above issues can be avoided if you use a Bluetooth controller (Wii/PS3 via CobaltController, BGP100 or Zeemote).
- WVGAFIX3 is sometimes required in order for a WVGA screen to be recognized. In those cases, if the emulator doesn't detect a VGA screen it defaults to QVGA (FinalBurn for example).
Emulators:
Multi:
Morphgear 2.4.0.9 (SNES, Genesis, TG16, NES*, GBA*, GBC*, GG* & SMS*) - SNES, Genesis & TG16 are free, the rest are not
- Supports WVGA
- seems to work fine as long as you do not enable audio. I only tried NES and SNES, but even at 1 GHz, it slowed to a crawl with audio enabled. Both appeared to play at full speed with audio disabled. Only real buttons work and you are limited when using more than one button at a time - see above notes.
- Works great with Wiimote.
http://www.spicypixel.com/web/page/morphgear/Download.aspx
Smartgear 1.1.6 (Genesis, NES, TG16, GB, GG, SMS - beta 2.0.18 also supports some Arcade ROMs) - $10
- Supports WVGA
- excellent performance. I can play NES and Genesis games at full speed with audio. You can map any button, but fake buttons (see above link) don't allow for long & short presses and you are limited when using more than one button at at time. Beta 2.0.18 adds native support for BGP100 & Zeemote and can support some Arcade ROMs.
- Grabbed 100 or so popular NES ROMs and only had a problem with 4 of them (I also realized that I only really like a handfull of them - Contra, MegaMan series, Punch Out! & SMB series)
- Only tested Flashback for Genesis & WonderBoy in Monster Land for SMS.
- Works great with Wiimote.
http://www.bitbanksoftware.com/SmartGear.html
(beta page... http://www.bitbanksoftware.com/SG_Beta.html )
NES:
PocketNester 0.7 (NES) - also tested 0.8 Alpha - free
- Does not support VGA/WVGA Full Screen, but it will run full size in a window with GAPI disabled (bottom few lines appear to be blocked when in landscape mode)
- Appears to run full speed with sound (fps counter doesn't work in window mode) - only tested SMB3
- Button mapper recognizes keycodes for all buttons, but only "real" buttons (OK, space, etc etc) work in game.
- Wiimote works great
http://sourceforge.net/projects/pnester/
PocketNesterPlus 0.9 (NES) - updated version of PocketNester - free
- Supports Fullscreen in landscape, crashed in Portrait
- Should be the same speed at PocketNester
- Same button issues as PocketNester
http://www.modaco.com/content/smartphone-software-games/237915/pocketnesterplus-0-9/
NesterJ4u 1.13 (NES) - free
- Couldn't get it to load a ROM
SNES:
Snes9xPPC 0.410001 - Free
- Does not support VGA/WVGA (screen occupies small section in the middle)
- Appears to play near full speed (50+ fps) with audio
- Button mapper recognizes keyboard buttons, but they don't work during gameplay, only "real" buttons work.
PocketSNES 1.52 (SNES) - free
- Does not support VGA/WVGA (limited to QVGA postage stamp)
- Appears to have excellent performance
- Didn't bother testing much due to QVGA limiation
PocketSNES 1.53 (SNES) - free
- Does not support WVGA but will work in VGA with WVGAFix3
- Runs full speed with audio disabled (half speed with audio enabled)
- All buttons are mappable, but fake buttons don't allow for long and short presses (same as SmartGear)
PocketSNES 1.12.200 (n0p port) (SNES) - free
- Supposedly supports VGA, but all I could get was a mirrored, postage stamp window. WVGAFix3 didn't make a difference.
http://n0p.tonych.info/?PocketSNES
PocketSNES/03 Preview 4.1 (SNES) - free
- Supports VGA but could only get portrait and landscape(left) to work not landscape(right). Also wouldn't stretch to fill screen.
- Good performance (Preview 4+- might be a bit better, needs more testing)
- Very buggy. I tried Super Mario World and it started glitching within a minute.
http://translate.google.com/translate?hl=en&sl=ja&u=http://www.geocities.jp/emu193/snes.html
PocketSNES 1.12.200 (original) (SNES) - free
- System would become nearly unresponsive after loading a ROM
SnesGo 0.8 alpha 1 (SNES) - free
- Crashes when ever I load a ROM
SNES9xJ4u b1k (SNES) - free
- all in Japanese, doesn't support VGA/WVGA (postage stamp)
Summary:
SNES - Seems our only options are Morphgear or PocketSNES 1.53 (WVGAFix3) with audio disabled. Sad really, SNES had some really great games. SmartGear would be an option if SNES support was ever finished, but I don't expect any further WinMo developtment.
NES - Again SmartGear offer excellent NES emulation with Sound and high compatibility, but isn't free. PocketNester & PocketNesterPlus should offer the same performance as each other. Go with PocketNesterPlus if you don't require/want Portrait support. Morphgear is a good alternative if you don't care about the audio, but again isn't free.

Best multiplayer games working on FireTV

Hey.
I own a rootet AFTV Box and I love multiplayer (party games).
But it feels like that this is not to find some good ones.
Perhaps you search for the same and we could build a list together.
At the moment I am using just a Bluetooth Controller called Snakebyte droid:CON and a Logitech K400 with USB-Sick.
My favourites until now:
Code:
NAME_OF_THE_GAME - HowManyPlayerPossible - LOCALorONLINE_MultiPlayer - EMULATOR/AmazonAppStore/Google:PlayStore/orOTHER - FREE/FREEinApp/€/$
BombSquad - 8 - Local&Online - AmazonAppStore - FREEinApp
Hogs of War ISO PSX - 4 - Local - PS1-Emulator - 2,99€
Micro Maniacs ISO PSX - 4 - Local - PS1-Emulator - 2,99€
Micro Machines V3 ISO PSX - 4 - Local - PS1-Emulator - 2,99€
Hope to hear some good tipps from you. I can add them to first post.

Tennis. On Firetv store. Fun in multiplayer. I guess I don't have two controllers to test it out.

Maybe when GlideN64 gets added to Mupen64Plus AE,you could possibly run multiplayer games at a more decent speed,and maybe even the SM64 Multiplayer (2P only?) hack if I am thinking correctly.
FireTV's performance comparably sucks since it has the outdated [email protected] Qualcomm drivers.

Thanks for the list. I am working on a multiplayer platformer (Rayman-like coop) but it will take some time to be ready (probably about two weeks left of work). Good to know there are people to seek such games.
And good to know you can run Micromashines on Fire TV, I spend a lot of time with friends on that game - shame they don't make games like that anymore, it was excellent for parties.
PS. I play this on Wii U: http://www.amazon.com/Sanuk-Games-SARL-Bombing-Bastards/dp/B00L2Z3UV8 - it says it's compatible with Fire TV, it is great for mutliplayer (it's basically a simple Bomberman clone).
