I tried PocketCultMAME and MAMECE3
I can't seem to get the audio working properly for the Advantage (T-Mobile Ameo). It slows the games down up to a point where it becomes unusable. Without sound it's not as much fun though.
Also the keys on the screen part don't seem to work. Only the Vueflow key works. I cannot move the characters along with the joystick. It has to be with the keyboard. Which is awkward since the game is displayed vertically.
Anyone got this (or another MAME type emulator) running properly on his Advantage?

I ran 'XRick' a free Rick Dangerous clone yesterday, and found I couldnt do ANY diagonal movement.
pushing up works, pushing right works, but UP & RIGHT does nothing.
I spent ages trying to see if the pad was pressing both buttons and it seems it does, you can push up and right, or even down and left it doesnt matter at the same time, but the game doesnt recognise it!
On my XDAII (Himalaya) it works fine, you can move diagonally in games.
Not in the Magician, is this fault, a bug or a known problem? can it be fixed?
Help, I love this game.
I too have the same problems when playing Age Of Empires. Don't have a solution for it though. When i press both buttons it does nothing as a result.
I have recently installed the morphgear emulator with the SNES module. After a bit of messing around with the settings, I managed to get it working quite well. The only problem I have with it now is with the controls. Having mapped the keys, all function correctly until I press more than one key at a time. When I do, the key I was pressing first stops responding. This means that if, for example, I am playing a game where I am running left then have to jump or shoot, the charactor will stop running until I release then re-press the left key. This makes the controls very awkward. It also makes diagonal movements impossible.
I dont know if this is beacsue the XDA Exec only acknowledges a single key press at a time or if it is a problem with how the emulator has been written.
Does anyone have any ideas how to get round this? (I hope I explained myself clearly enough)
Has nobody else experienced this problem? Having tried some other games it seems that it is the device, not the software!
Half-topic
@ paul H
I dont know about your button-problem try 2 play rpg's instead ;P
anyway my question is which settings are u using ? because i tried it and it workes ok but a bit slow. already increased frameskip to 8 and used lower quality of sound but its still slow. I guess i can decrease window size or toggle the sound of but i want a emulator that can display full-screen with sound atleast.
gimme your perfect settings maybe i can run it faster

I've just experienced the same thing with my O2 Exec, playing the game Seal Ball. It seems that you cannot use 2 keys at once, you cannot even use the directional pad for diagnal movement, it's left, right, up or down and nothing else. Pushing it in a diagnal direction stops movement entirely. This really limits the types of games you can play on this device. Anyone know of a fix?
i was gonna say buy a snes bt thats mean. its a shame cos a good emulator canalways help pass the time at the office
gapi and omapclock are meant to speed it up - not sure about controls because ive just got it but i get an error when i pull the keyboard out!
And I cant get any sound on the snes so far... Any ideas?
I noticed the same thing. Very stupid because playing games is one of the tings I bought my MDA Pro for!! :x :x :x :x :x
Here's the topic I started:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?p=215253
I hope there will be a fix or something, and that this is not a hardware shortcoming.
One of the main reasons a friend of mine & I puchased the HTC PPC6800 from Alltel was that we intended on loading up Roms & Emulators from the original NES. However, while you can put an emulator onto the phone & run it, the QWERTY keyboard only allows you to push one keystroke at a time!! Anyone familiar with gaming, reguardless of the platform, can understand just how unplayable almost every game is without the ability to run & jump! You can run.. You can jump. You just can't do both simultaniously.
If there are any known fixes for this, please help.. I'm desperate. I'm guessing it's a software issue as there are already keys on the keyboard that support multi-button pushing such as the shift and function keys. I imagine there must be a work-around of some kind out there. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks for reading!
Turn the 6800 on it's side(closed) like a psp and use the d-pad for direction and the e-mail and internet buttons for A and B. From what I understand those buttons don't suffer from the one keystroke limitation.
The only issue with that is the emulator, and subsequently every emulator I've tried after for NES doesn't support the sideways resolution for whatever reason. The loading screen for booting a rom with turn just like any other window would but the second the actual game loads it flips back up vertical. SNES emulators seem to handle the horizontal resolution just fine but the controller on the SNES had 6 buttons so mapping just 2 really doesn't cut it.
I currently try to play on the tiny little controls at the bottom and none of them seem to be effected by the two buttons at a time issue but the Ok button can't be mapped so playing around it is unbearable to the point of just not wanting to play. Not to mention it kills the WOW factor of showing someone when you have to play the game with a controller that's the size of a quarter.
Good call. I forgot to mention the landscape resolution thing. I ran into this thread shortly after reading yours. If you haven't seen it check this one out. I believe one or more of those emulators address the landscape abilities (MorphGear and SmartGear). Hope that helps.
The program is really slick for emulation, I'll give you that. lol. It's pay for use so I'm just messing with it in the 5 min demo mode but so far it looks like it'd definitely be worth buying.. I'm still however running into the multi-key issue on the QWERTY. NES is fine without using the QWERTY as it only requires an A & B button but the SNES had 6 buttons that need to be mapped and getting them all in an accessable spot on the face of the unit just isn't happening.
Has anyone heard anything about a possible fix for this?
I'm receiving my Imagio on Monday, so I'm eagerly getting together my WinMo files. Has anyone tried PocketSNES, MorphGear or any other emulator on the Imagio? Maybe someone could check it out?

I'm thinking the 5 bottom keys should for sure be mappable which hopefully makes it easier?
with the wvga screen, you could simply use the onscreen controller, that is what i did on my omnia and it worked great
i had an omnia too! pretty awesome phone.
the problem i ran in to with the onscreen controller was the lack of multi touch.
it also messed with the frame rate something awful, maybe that wont be an issue with the imagio though? have you tried it out?
BT gamepad is the way to go from what i have read, but i never bothered since it would mean having one more item to carry around. I noticed the same slow down on fps on my omnia too, whenever you used the onscreen buttons.
yeah its too bothersome to carry around a bt controller.
im going to try to just map the buttons to the volume toggle as well, then it should be good to go.
i dont mean to bump this back up, but ive done a pretty hard search for emulators that will work on the imagio and i havent turned up with much. pocketsnes doesent work, and morphgear works very poorly. has anyone found anything functional?
Hello all, just joined because I couldn't find info on this on the web, at least no info that included answers.
I have most of my GBA collection backed up and often load the roms onto my Android phone to emulate. I have never encountered this issue until now, with my first OnePlus phone. This leads me to believe that it is an issue with the phone/phone settings rather than the emulators themselves.
I use the touch screen controls when playing GBA. The buttons are not registering my presses unless I hold down the button for a second or two. All input requires me to touch and hold the button. I digged through my phone settings but nothing stood out that could be causing this.
Everything else with the phone has been great, but this is definitely a deal breaker that will force me to switch back to Google devices.

Hey there,
Using MyBoy emulator, and a super Mario Bros room, I had 0 input lag. Has to be something on your side. Positive here is that it's not One plus phones

That's good news, I really like this phone otherwise. I guess it could still be something in the phone settings though. I have my emulators set up exactly how I had them before.
I'm also using MyBoy GBA.
Figured it out! The triple tap to zoom feature in the phone settings was causing it. Turned it off and it works normal now.
