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.

I second that!
There are also snes, nes, genesis, mame emulators available. So far I've gotten mame, nes, snes to run perfectly. I also tried that PS emulator the other day. I managed to run Final Fantasy Tactics at around 25-30FPS with slowdown at cutscenes.
where do i get these stuff daemonk?thank you vijay and athuaqueaxmed!
The modaco.com smartphone gaming forums has links to the various emulators. You have to find the BIOs and ROM files yourself though becuase they are illegal to distribute and have if you don't already own the game.
http://www.modaco.com/index.php?showforum=38
I used:
Final Burn for MAME
PocketSNES for SNES
FPSEce for PS1
PocketNester for NES
The default settings pretty much works. Some minor tweaks with display settings might be needed for portrait/landscape mode. Also button layouts has to be reprogrammed.
To get the MAME Final Burn emulator to work on some games, you also have to increase the memory cache in the registry under hklm/system/storage manager/filters/fsreplxfilt/ReplStoreCache and hklm/system/storage manager/FATS/CacheSize to 32768. Warning though, changing your cache size will lower your availble RAM to like 10-15mb.
The PocketSNES emulator will only display landscape right mode. So you'll have to flip your hermes the other way with the slide out keyboard on top and customize your buttons accordingly. I actually found it to be more comfortable than playing with the keyboard on the bottom.
I don't recommend playing heavy action/multiple button pressing games on the hermes because I don't think the keyboard was really made to be pressed that heavily. Thats why I deleted my MAME emulator and games. But RPGs like the Final Fantasy Series or other old Squaresoft games (replaying chrono trigger right now) run prefectly on the hermes. The save state feature present on all those emulators lets you save whenever so it really works well as a mobile gaming device.
So far I've found hermes really good for these emulators because of that slide our keyboard. The keyboard unlike many other phones actually register more than one button press at the same time, so I can press down and left directions at the same time and go diagonal.
The only issue is what happens when a call comes in while you are playing. On the Final Burn emulator, your phone will probably crash. On the other emulators, you'll be able to take the call, but the emulator will crash after you are done talking, losing your game progress.
Thanks for the info. I see your point about the keys.

Use n0p's port instead. Read http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=306444
another good freeware site
http://freecabs.org - has freeware pocket pc downloads
I dont normally play games on me mobile but things have changed since I got my SPV3100 and now my Ameo!
Was thinking we could start a list with useful links of games that actually work on the ameo.
Ive managed to find a classic, wolfenstein 3d, its a complete port and it runs really well!
I was wondering tho if anyone can get Quake or Doom working. (found hpc doom but it crashes at the very start, looks like it would work but doesnt)
What games do you guys have working on your Athena?
Got Doom Working! Its Great!
Managed to get doom working fine.
Heres where you need to go to download the program, it runs in Portrait at the moment but works smoothly nonetheless.
http://home.freeuk.com/gamefreaks/pql/gfDoom.htm
Keys:
Joystick - Directional Control
Tap at the bottom half of the screen / Comm Manager Button - Fire
If you want to exit, click the X in the top right, then Press the camera button. Once in the main menu, move down to exit game and then press the camera button again.
You need to have the DOOM1.wad file (read the readme file that comes with the program from explainations)
Very nice!
Have fun!
My personal favourites are
SPB Brain Evolution (although it infuriates me!)
SPB Air Islands (the game sucks, but it has some cool minigames and it's VGA!)
ScummVM is a must! Its free, you just have to get the game files. There are even some free games.
Favourites of mine, Sam 7 Max, Simon the Sourcerer, Day of the Tentacle
It works, but you have problems starting it up. Start with the pda in portrait mode, and fumble your way around to the options menu to get to graphics settings and turn on the 2x doubling. Once thats done it works fine from then on.
Megadrive Emulator
Managed to get PicoDrive working altho all the keys are messed up because of the screen orientation, it seems to get the joystick confused, and makes UP left and DOWN right for some reason, still looks good on the Ameo tho!
Keep em coming!
Thanks for the games so far

Gotta agree with you on Spb Brain Evo ..simply the nuts. I also like the 'Real Dice' ensemble of games like;
Real Dice Mahjong
Real Dice Dominos
Real Dice Sudoku Master II......all are in high quality genuine VGA. They look and play really well.
Open Transport Tycoon Deluxe (2.0 beta) works perfectly (just remember to set the phone to portrait view before starting). Now with the "original" music sounds!
http://www.esoftinteractive.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=1570
SIM Coupe (SAM Coupe emulator) works okay if you start in Portrait mode with only the "keyboard" menu being present as a glitch. (I thought I'd posted about Pocket Commodore Plus/4, too, which works but is PAINFULLY slow sometimes).
For bought games, Broken Sword (Astraware) demo looks very very promising indeed; it rotated the screen correctly and looks very pretty, and appears to be playing at the correct speed.
Hi
This is my first post so hope im doing this ok.
I am thinking of getting one of there phones as a friend has one.
I currently have a hermes and all is ok, the problem is that the athena is lacking in buttons on the front that are needed to play games, like "fire" in worms for example.
none of the keyboard buttons seem to work.
Is there a way round this?
thanks
Sean.
I have the same trouble, Worms in X7500 only admit two buttons and the game requires three buttons to work correctly.
Can someboy modify the wwpsave.dat as somebody did for the HTC Touch to make the x7500 buttons workable for this game???
Thank you.
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.

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.
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

ithink that all we can edit
my tp2 in the tmobile one unlocked so use orange and has an April 2010 version of athenos. are there any games 3d racing, fps, rts and other wise that suport the hardware keyboard and run well on this phone? i hate all the touch only nonsence trying to be an iphone. the difference between hermes and tytn2 with 2button press support was fantastic and if i can use the H/W keyboard it would make up for not having a dpad. I tried tony hawks 2 but runs upsidedown for me and about 5fps which is sad with little discernable difference after i renamed the dll in windows and moved the one in the th2 folder there.
im also gutted hardmarks scrabble doesnt work properly where the botton of the letter tiles is cut off.
finally is there opengl or 3d compatibility with the tp2? experience to date has been a little dissapointing and mobile shell 3.5 is a little laggy
thanks for any help you can throw my way
I've been disappointed by the amount of 3d games for our phones much less windows mobile .
Remember the phone is designed for business, but you can try an emulator. I use FPSEcE for PlayStation games. If you do enough reading on their forums you can get some good games running pretty well.
games
Well there are some fun games but not console type go on google and type
SuperMarioBros windows mobile
Xtracts windows mobile
Gears of War windows mobile
games
Ok there not much games right now for windows mobile but go to this website they have some freeware games made by independent developers like SuperMarioBrosHD , SuperMarioJump,Different pong versions, and Gears of War lite. Its located here
www.krenisiswinmobilegamesapps.com
thanks alot for the replies and the links. i found air hocky again something i had on the the tytn 2 but it never played great but it was playable but i was surprised to see it run slower on my tp2.
id love an accerlerometer controlled game like the ps3 game with ducks on a tray whatever it was called it was strangley addictive and great fun to have a try each when its cold n wet out side.
i also really want hankmark scrabble as it is the only properly playable version out there it allows you to move tiles arround freely, look up words the lot all other versions fall way behind but the tiles dont display in their entirety so you cant see what letters you have! such a shame. anyone know a work arround? wvgafix doesnt work just makes it worse.
finally tonyhawks. how DO i flip the screen the other way?

I am in the same shoe as you! I had handmark's scrabble on my old I-Mate JAMin, but when I upgraded to Touch Pro 2 the CD wont install at all. So I bought a new Scrabble off Amazon and that wont work either. It needs "Palm Software" before it can install on my device. Handmark suggested I use a desktop running the XP but that did not work either. Handmark is essentially dancing around the issue of continued support for their Scrabble Software. When I asked them about the Scrabble being sold through 'Handango-in-Hand, they did not respond on that. If anybody here know how to make it work, please come to our aid.
