I have tried the snes emulator and I have not been able to get zelda to run on it... is there some reason it runs like crap on my mda... perhaps im not using the proper version of snes or perhaps I dont have a good rom even..
I have it overclocked and still get an unplayable game....
perhaps setting tweaks or something...
im about to load gba emulator and see how that works for me...
please anyone else using any game emulators please let me know
or if you even have a fun game also let me know
thanks everyone

*edit*
yeah I just tried pocket GBA and I cant get that to run well either...
it does however run way better than the snes emu atleast for zelda...
I have yet to try other roms
Try the SNES emulator on page 4 of

You will need to use total commander or similar to change the language from Japanese to English
You will also need to overclock your device. The Omap tool is available on this site.
awesome thanks...
yeah I just needed the newer snes emulator...
works 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!)
try morhgear. not freeware, but the best one i use.

mprPhgear is damn slow on OMAP's.
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.
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
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

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.
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).
