Allright, after much trial and error. I have installed 72 thousand different games in my hermes, I have narrowed down all of the list to just a few.
OK, get these.
Age Of Empires Gold Edition - Woo gotta have it.
Flux Challenge - Kinda a space racing game, cool music, really showcases some of the potential cool graphics of the Hermes.
Pocket UFO - X-COM: UFO Enemy Unknown - It's absolutely free too! I can't stop playing this game, it is rated as the number 1 best game of all time by IGN magazine!!! http://pc.ign.com/articles/082/082403p1.html check it out. Honestly I HONESTLY LOVE THIS GAME.... Play it, you won't be able to stop, and it is free, you can find it anywhere on the interweb. EHEHHE
Pocket Nester - So cool, then I put every cool nintendo rom on my device (that I actually own of course hehehehe)
Snails v2.0 - Little worms clone type game, kinda fun
Tower Of Souls - Looks awesome, I havn't played it yet, but one day I will ehhehhe, a diablo style looking game.
Warring Nations - Looks really cool, kinda like Age of Empires
ScummVM - Lucasarts Emulator, I have actually seriously purchased all of the Scumm games ever made, I am a lucasarts freak, and they all work, even, Full Throttle, this is honestly one of the most amazing features of the Hermes! ehheeh. serious.
FreeSCI - Sierra SCI Emulator - Play Codename Iceman, Kings Quest 4-6, Space Quest 3-5, everything on the Hermes. Now the only problem with this emulator is it runs a little slow. I have however played Space Quest 3 without much of a problem. So nice.
Ok everyone, there has got to be a billion games out there, lets make a fun list... cuz why did we get a Hermes if it wasn't for anything else other than to show the stupid psp guy sitting next to you that he wasted his money.
Solitaire City - a Collection of card games with online hiscore, very addictive
-Kha
Hehe, nice list
I liked the scumm, thank you, I will definetly try these out ^^
And try out:
Arvale: Short Tales is a light Role Playing Game with Four separate stories to choose from. Now this is a real good game, the same maker has some really nice other role playing games
some games I play on my device are:
realdice multiplayer championship poker (you can also play this game over internet with eg umts or gprs)
astraware bejeweled 2
worms world party - awsome!
astraware zuma
spb arkaball
spb bubbles
I'm currently playing Syberia. An adventure with nice graphics.
From the graphics point of view, I still prefer TombRaider, which actually is an exact clone of the first part for the Playstation.
What is regarding the bragging in front of a PSP guy: Forget about it. I own a PSP and despite of its much higher graphics abilities (watch Wipeout and Syphon Filter), the controls and the screen are just better, period. Maybe one day the graphic capabilities of PPCs will be the same, but still, the handling and controls is just awful for many games. Some games are great with the touchscreen but for most games, the gameplay is crap.
Sometimes on the closet, PPC games are good, such as Kevtris, but for real gaming, I stick to my PSP or XBox.
Couple more to add to the list that I play a lot, all are not free/shareware i'm afraid:
Arvale II (PDAMill): Top down RPG with turn based battle system.
Multiplayer Championship Poker (Real Dice): Texas Hold 'Em over the net, has single player mode as well.
Monopoly (Handmark): Bit sad I know but it's a classic
SkyForce (Infinate Dreams): The definative screen scrolling shooter
Street Duel (Pixelogic): 3D Racer
Warfare Inc (Handmark): Great C&C clone. No net play but multiplayer over bluetooth. Think this a better choice over Strategic Assault
I also have Worms World Party, Tomb Raider and Flux Challenge but they have already been mentioned and I agree that they are a must have. Pocket UFO is wicked if your an old XCOM/UFO lover (ME!!) and as said in an earlier post it is completely free.
S.K.
KRally, Edge, Skyforce Unlimited, some 4Pockets and Inscenic titles, SuperTux, Gold Miner Joe - my personal picks from the last year.
Also make sure you check out my games reviews in the General forum here
I have a quick question...
What games are specifically multiplayer over the internet... is texas holdem the only one? this I think could be the coolest feature for some games like monopoly and what have you... but alas I think a lot of people would probably cut off because they would be at work or something... LOL
http://software.palminfocenter.com/product.asp?id=8859
Played with it a few minutes and bought it! If you try it put the 8525 on landscape before you launch the app. Its a little hard to move left and right with the joy stick but after a while it okay and the game is ver cool.

Check out my Multiplayer Bible; it's been linked in from several of my games review (make a forum search for "Multiplayer Bible" in the General forum). It discusses all the multiplayer titles.
Maybe a noob question but are these games PC versions or Pocket PC versions. Just that i've got a few old PC games and was wondering if its possible to install them on my PPC. If their PC versions how would i go about installing them on my PPC.
Thanks for any help its appreciated

I dont think thats possible. you might be able to play old DOS games using
Dosbox. But im not sure.
My favourite game is Syberia. Definately the PPC. But 200MB heavy.
Then Riven and Myst, followed by Return to Mysterious Island.
Also good:
Ages of Empires Gold
Need For Speed
Brainstorm
Resco Diamonds
Quartz2
Warlords II
Doom
Anthelion
Argentum
Everquest Trilogy
Yahtzee (very fun)
Arvale 1 and 2
man, i have so many games, i dont know how to finish this list.
How do you guys get these old Windows/DOS games to work on your phone? I've got a BUNCH of them and would love to be able to play them again.
Although they are the same titles, they are especially rewritten/ported for PPC.
Some of them have just the executables ported, and use the same level/map/artwork files from the original CDs, so it's a good thing that you still have them.
But no, your Win/DOS collection won't work on PPC out of the box, but you could search for the titles on PocketPC gaming and software sites to find what your options are.
OK. Thanks for the info.

Pretty much forget them - it's only with selected games that emulation works (see for example Legend Entertainment's old adventures played on VGA Pocket PC's under Pocket DOS).
However, there're interpreters, whoich do interpret for example Lucasfilm and sierra games. Also see http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1095219&postcount=8 and, of course, my articles ("General" forum here); I've published a lot of info on this question in my articles too.
Gamez Gamez Gamez!!!
Woo.. didn't realize people had such a passion for games.. thought it was just me!... Allright.. I am going to try all of these games posted here, for some reason, I baught Syberia and installed it on my HTC but it never actually worked, just figured I wasted my money and stuff... but that was with the Japanese-O rom on there, so I will try it again with the English rom and report back, I will update my games list in a couple days with a short review of each game. But still my number one favorite game thing.. is the Lucasarts Emulator ScummVM, honestly, it is perfect for a haldheld device. Even a couple games are free for it like Beneath a Steel Sky and something else I can't remember, get it, install it, then install day of the tenticle and sam&max hit the road... man o man.. are those games ever entertaining on the HTC, paired with a bluetooth wireless headset, it is just unbeatable. Next if we could just get the other Bluetooth stack runnning properly ... we would be set.. oh well.. i guess patience is a virtue.... or so my mom sayz.

I've just got KRally but am having problems with it on my MDA Vario II.
1) It doesn't seem to handle 2 button presses, e.g. if I'm accelerating and then turn (using hte d-pad), the car stops going until I press accelerate again!
2) using the stylus to steer causes pretty bad slowdown
Anyone got any suggestions on how to avoid either of these problems?
I've e-mailed their support but no word yet.
cheers
It seems that this is a known D-pad issue of Hermes. Combined with other hardware presses, D-pad behaves this way.
Some solutions would be:
- set auto acceleration AND auto turbo in K-Rally options, so you don't have to press other buttons except D-pad
- use arrow keys on the physical keyboard instead, they work ok combined with any other button (yes, K-Rally works great in landscape, too)
- map left-right in game options to other buttons (although I tried mapping them to softkey buttons and the game slowed to a crawl)
As reported on the net, the D-pad issue is known to HTC and maybe (hopefully) they will address it sometime:

I would have a better link to DL but my job has blocked all the sites I've used to DL. There's a version that has two files. One that's about 5M and the other thats about 4M. One will play games that the other sometimes cannot run. I'm only using the 5M emulator now. It's OK, but Im looking for another good one myself. I'm using an Artemis and I've yet to figure out how to get games to use the track ball and scroll wheel effectively. Works on some, but not all.

Nice post! I didn't even know this many existed. Question though - I have a bunch of Arcade ROMs (No NES, Genesis, Gameboy, ect) from the 80's all the way up to like Mortal Combat. I can only run a few of the older games with my Artemis overclocked to like 273 max. Which of these emulators would be better for running these ROMS from the Arcade games? Also, trying to find something that will let me use the trackball on games line Milipede.
Hi guys,
I've been trying to get some games onto my HTC Touch, but I don't know which emulators are good or where to find working roms. Can you guys recommend any programs and/or websites for emulators and roms? Thanks. Much appreciated.
Look around for morphgear and nes and sega plugins.
morphgear is good, but it isn't free. there is a five-minute evaluation period each time I run it. I'm looking for free emulators, especially for GBA.
i use GenPP (Free) for Sega Megadrive (Genesis) Games, the only problem i have found is the lack of direction keys on my Artemis! you have to use the track ball to move... makes game play *interesting*
which is the best emulators for GBA to play on TYTN
Havent used this one personally, but one that a mate uses:

Hi,
Xperia will be my first Windows Mobile device ever, and i had no idea in regards to gaming on WinMo. Though there are a couple of games available at Microsoft Total Access and a few other sites, most of them failed to impress. Then i found this site that had tons of games including a couple of really great looking 3D games for windows mobile devices.
Any how, i found couple of old PC game ported for Windows Mobile devices as well including sybaria 2, Myst and Myst 2, Atlantis Redux, Age of Empires, Sims 2, and many more. I downloaded these as i'll definitely want to try 'em out.
I then also downloaded ScummVM for Windows Mobile and am now in the process of downloading games for it including The Curse of Monkey Island, Broken Sword 1 & 2, and more. (notice i don't even have the mobile in my hands yet, and i'm already stacking up software and games for it )
Anyways... now i found a pack that has tons of games that are listed to have been ported for PPC (Pocket PC). The creator says: "All games run on my QVGA Windows Mobile 2003se PPC". So i'm guessing they'll probably run on Xperia too?
There are a couple of really cool games in there: Duke Nukem 3D, Need For Speed, tomb Raider, Call of Duty 2, bobble bubble, and many more.
Anyone who has a Windows Mobile and has loaded such games before or tried, can you confirm if these actually work? and if not then is it wise to give it a shot on the Xperia?
Best Regards.

All of the ones you mentioned are working perfectly on my x1.
Take a look here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=462217
I've tried some of them, and they work fine. Limited fun factor though.
Try MorphGear and some old Nintendo and Sega games.
I'll be posting some I've tried and enlist 'em here. Take note though that I use it on an unlocked official X1 rom. Phones in my location came unrestricted. And yes, it differes from a cooked rom since I can't run TF3D on my device.

traffic mania
hi i'm wondering if it is possible to play traffic mania on x1. thx..
warcraft2 plays fine on the xperia but it's a little slow. that's understandable. although it would be nice to incorporate the optical joystick to scroll the map instead of using the directional buttons because let's face it, the directional buttons are crap on the xperia.
anyway, props to you for porting one of my favorite games! this game brings back old memories!
People with Touch HD say that Warcraft II is moving fast, so maybe we have to tweak something. It's so slow it's unplayable on X1.

Big bump, but has anybody found Lux World Domination for the Xperia? Recently played it on the iPhone and really want it available on my xperia.
I must be very baad., but it's true what i'm goin to say now. There are much more 3D and good working games on W580i than on my new XperiaX1. I'm very disappointed... Expected WINDOWS MOBILE - a lot of applications, games... there is nothing, everywhere the same, bull**** games like prince of persia or assasin. What is this? I'm goin to bring back my W580i :///
And everywhere an Iphone... My.. ***, isn't it too much? huuhhh... [Sorry abou my English..]
Well, X1 ain't exactly positioned as a gaming phone. More like a business phone.

FAQ:
What is netplay?
Netplay lets you play multiplayer with a friend who is on another android device via either bluetooth or wifi.
What are shaders?
Shaders are filters that go on top of the gameplay to try change or improve the graphic quality, there are tonnes of shaders to choose from so if you dont like one you can always find another somewhere online. Its also important to note that some shaders can slow down emulation.
Can I help with this guide?
Sure! Just add you emulator of choice in the comments and fill it out using the template below (remember to remove the bits in the brackets!). I will add any emulators filled out in this format to the op.
(Emulator name)
Pros: (whats great about it)
Cons: (any downsides)
Comments: (this is optional)
Link: (where to get it)

Just want to add a bit about the SNES emulators...we wary of any that you need to pay for. Some of them use Snes9X as their base and the license agreement for Snes9X says it needs to be distributed for free.
Snes9X EX is the one to use, and I believe is the only one that licneses Snes9X properly.. For some reason it's been removed from the market but you can find it by googling. A good advantage is that you don't need to map the XPlay's buttons manually, it's already done for you, which is nice. Great compatibility, emulates most games perfectly though I have noticed some stutters and occasional slowdown in A Link to the Past. Donkey Kong Country also runs noticeably faster than in should, and I haven't found a way to slow it back down to normal speed yet.
Snes AD is also pretty good. Free on the market. I'm not sure what it's based on though. Also great compatibility. Doesn't have the problem with DKC running too quickly. Some logo screens don't work properly. You'll need to map the buttons yourself.
Thanks for the info

Yep im pretty aware of the fakes, most of them are just rip offs of snesoid.
When I do a write up about the snes emulators I will put up snesoid, snes ad, snes9xEX and snesdroid since its the only snes emulator for android that supports shaders.
What's the advantage to supporting shaders? I thought they were a 3d thing.

Think of them as a filter that goes on top of the game that can do things like smooth out the graphics a bit so it doesn't look as pixely or anti-aliasing shaders so objects dont have jagged edges. They basically try to make the old games look better.
One of my fave shaders for PC emulators is the cartoon shaders for epsxe. They make PS1 games look cel-shaded.

awesome post, i've booked marked this one to keep tabs on all the emulators! thumbs up!
Search the Android Market & SlideMe, there are more GBA emulators than just one...

They are all clones of gameboid, but please do post here if you find any that are not clones.
Edit: did find some legitimate ones that were not gameboid clones but they were all pretty terrible. No real advantages over gameboid.
Most of the emulators I post here have some sort of advantage over each other.

I did notice that similarity with many of them. Thanks for the list by the way.

Can we not start with this stupid argument again please, snes9x is open source and covered by the GPL. Under the GPL rules there is nothing wrong with people using the source, making there own emulator and charging.

Very useful thread would be a good idea to sticky this thread maybe
I updated the OP, If somebody has used the emulators that say "not tested yet" please post how they perform here plus any advantaged/disadvantages they have over other alternatives.

Haha that would be pretty cool
I dont mind if its stickied but it might be better to wait until I finish it first.
Very useful info mate. Nice one. Am shocked about nulldce, looked very interesting.
Seeing as there are obviously people on here that know about the emus has anyone had king of fighters 2003 working. If so please could you tel me what emu, version, bios and where you got the Rom. Everyone I've tried has failed.
Cheers

Please don't ask for warez or where you can download them, It's forbidden in the rules, the only roms you can legally use are ones ripped from your own owned games, the same goes for bios's

Yep what Androhero said, you cant ask for roms or bios. Im sure somebody could tell you what emu you need though.
I googled the game and it appears to be for the neo geo and arcades. so you either need a neogeo emulator (I could only find neo geo pocket) or a mame emulator. Ive never played the neo geo or any arcade games so I dont really know what would be the best emulators to use sorry.
Also I really hope NullDCe gets released at some point but by looking at the devs track record that might never happen, he ported his emulator to multiple other consoles including the psp but he never publicly released them.
