Emulation softwares you have been successful with

I'm planning on getting the wizard very soon and i was wondering which emulation software you guys have been successful with. i understand that snes is abit sketchy, but has anyone tried the psx FPSEce program? I was looking at the videos and i was pretty impressed, but the only thing was that the program was being runned on hp's ipaq series with 400+mhz. how was this thing par up with the measley 200mhz? has anyone tried it?
i'm pretty hyped.. btw hermes isn't coming for a while so i don't htink i can hold out seeing that i need to switch out of carriers very soon.

Mario on a Phone...
I have been using Pocket Nester...it runs old NES Roms...I have loved it...Finally Mario 1, 2 & 3 on my phone where they were meant

I've been trying to get FPSEce to run FF7 on my wizard, but haven't had much luck yet. I think it's a problem with my rom (making my own from my playstation discs, so I probably botched it somewhere...) I'm going to keep trying though.. I'm worried about the speed issues too.. not sure how well it will work since it seems everyone else is using axims and ipaqs.. haven't read any reports of people doing it on their HTC devices...

FPSEce most likely won't run well at all on the Wizard. I run it on a Universal and it still has major slow downs at times, and only does a semi-decent job in general.

I've also been using PocketNester and also PocketGnuboy, both of which seem pretty fast and stable as well as free!
Also tried PocketUAE last night just for the hell of it, actually worked first time with a 1.3 rom and happily loaded up the first game I found (1st Div Manager). Too slow to be playable (especially in the match part) so no SWOS soon I'm afraid but did remind me of those happy bygone days! Really ought to dig out my A4000 again (or my CD32, A1200 or even my A500!)

I don't want to hijack the thread, but is anyone else having trouble with not getting sound from PocketNester or PocketNES? Neither one has sounds out of all the ROMs I try.

ive run ff7 on my wizard but performance isnt too great...the fmv's **** everything up so i have to re do the iso and maybe relink the fmv's

really, thats pretty impressive, i would think the measley 200 mhz processor isn't enough to even have a start screen. =\ do you guys think the hermes will be able to accomplish task?

Shift, Freeware madness

Hi everyone !
I'd like to talk about an addictive game I just updated : SHIFT !
Shift is a dynamic puzzle game that doesn't require the stylus to play, making it ideal for quick games in the metro or the bus... It is a bit hard to take in hands on the first go, but once you pick it up you just can't stop playing...
The rules are really basic : click on the left, right, upper, or lower part of the screen (or press the direction pad) to have all the blocks who can move in that direction... If you form groups of 3 or more blocks, they'll disappear, etc...
To get huge scores, trying doing combos, not leaving a single round before exploding another group, etc... Easier said than done !
Original game from TONYPA : Ununicum
Download Shift​
It doesn't look like much, but it's the same kind of addiction you get with Jawbreaker
Waiting for feedback/comments/suggestions/anything, thanks !

Man that's that game is a real addiction, and now i'm hooked great tip thanks

LoL same here thanx alot 4 this nice game

oh dear....
I should be doing an assignment, but I find myself playing shift.....oooh, how addictive.
An observation -it does place it under the programs directory when installed and not under default games directory.
Thanks for the free game....must get back to assignment....no must play more.

Thanks for the feedback
I haven't played too much with the cab maker yet, and last time I tried it didn't work at all :s

Thanks Mollusc installing now.
And all you others, don't forget to try all the other games Mollusc has done, they are all great.

thanks. anychance this is the same TONYPA who creates flash games?

Wow, faster than the previous version very much
question:
i try to play the previous version, it is a battery eater, i play 5 mins and i loss 5-7% battery, is it possible to improve?
or it just my problem?
i will test this verion later.

Yes, it's an idea from TONYPA who created the flash games I showed him this version I coded and he authorized me to distribute it (as I didn't steal his graphs/code/anything).
As for the battery, it should be MUCH better... The old version used 100% CPU all the time and would refresh the screen constantly, while this one uses much less and only refreshes the screen when needed ^^

works great on my X500, I love the ultra minimal package (one exe and that's it!). Very good game!

will u update the other games?

Yes, I will updating all the games 1 by 1, but with my exams I still haven't done all of them ^^ And I'd like to add a few missing features (like the score that wasn't viewable unless you played a game in Shift), etc...

that's cool. I know TONYPA from flashkit since I develop flash apps as well
maybe someday I can or someone can port my flash game into WM too bad i only know actionscripting 2.0

Any link to one of the games to check them out ? ^^

Some nice looking games on that site!!!

Brilliant little game. Now can anyone tell me how to get the kids to give me back my wizard ?

Simple : by a cheap second-hand PDA or a Nintendo DS ^^

Pipes
Hi mollusk, pipes is my favourite, well most played, how about adding a number of moves counter next to the timer?

It will have additional modes with moves limits and stuff like that

Thanks mollusk, I look forward to that and all your future releases.

Silent Hill? Of all games you want to replay Silent Hill? That game was too damn scary for me back than and I was maybe 16 or 17.
A friend of mine recently gave me his busted xbox 360 and it came with a few games as well as Silent Hill: Homecoming. I thought I could handle it now. Nope, I was wrong. I turned out all the lights and played on my 56in with 5.1 sound system in the living room. It was too damn scary for me again. I heard every little noise in front and behind me. 10 minutes into it I took it out and was done with that evil ass game.

that's the first game i tried .
and sadly, its hardly playable.. there is a white box that appears around the characters and sometimes they just disappear in the mist..
i'll upload a screencap and a list of games i have tried..
btw.. pm me if anyone has trouble finding a good site for the roms (although google still is your best friend for that )
edit: Screencaps added.
well, now that i tried it again.. the game isn't too unplayable.. I'll try finding a ripped rom.. maybe that works better.

Can someone see if metal gear solid works?

ugh guys i ran into an issue i forgot about. if youre using the on screen keyboard, the nexus one multitouch screen is the issue. i was playing RE1 and i forgot that i had to hold the R+L button to use the weapon n sadly, we cant do that on our devices
**EDIT: FF7 seems to work fine. FF8 works fine except for the video at the very beginning of the game. i will test out MG Solid later on in the day**

Hahaha, that's the point. The sound of static was never the same afterward. I love love love this series (at least, up to SH3). It's probably going to be a lot less scary on a 3.7 in screen anyway.

Oh. Well, at least it loads and runs. Weird glitch, though.

DONT JUDGE ME!!!!......but Rugrats Search for Reptar works fine lol i was searching through roms and i saw this and loved it as a child so i wanted to give it a try for the hell of it n it brought back a lot of memories

Downloaded Tomba to try. Graphics were glitchy and it ran extremely slow. Gonna search for some more ROMs

RE runs good but the multitouch screen issue is a problem. if youre using a bluetooth control then it should work fine

Where did you get RE from tho? and what is everyone setting their fps to? default or something else?

FPse PS1 emulator is finally out on the market!

Its actually FPse on the market and does circles around psx4 droid .Playing fff9 full speed. Post games working full speed for reference!
Edit-
Alright this is going to be simple.
My evo-
Mikfroyo 4.4
Netarchy-toast 4.3.2
Setcpu- smart ass- overclock 1036
16gb class 4
Games tested
- Marvel vs Capcom
-FF9
-Resident evil 3
-Digimon world
FPse at its current state is not much better than early version of psx4droid v2, though it plays cutscenes great, because it struggles to emulate at full speed .
M vs C is a great example since the opening scene and player selection run full speed, but hits a wall at actual game play. In FF9 I am in Oilvert in disc three so the game play seems great . Then in RE3 THE WHOLE GAME AND EMULATOR CRASHED at the beginning cutscene of game. Digimon world started and ran great.
The controls are very well made and much more friendly to big thumbed people, the only complaint would be that you must activate through the input menu the L1L2, R1R2, select , and start buttons for landscape mode for different games.
Note also that this emulator doesn't YET stretch the image fullscreen.
Over all it will take a few updates to polish it but I am confident this developer is headed in the right direction. How this helps some one.

meh, my psp can do that

I think you just got punk'd
Edit:
Wow, great performance. I think zod just got served!

It's FPse on the market

I've been using psx4droid for a while and i really like it. This one though has some serious potential. I tried street fighter alpha 3 and the first thing i noticed is how much better it looked than on psx4droid. However, it ran much slower, im not sure if i can change any settings to fix that. I was amazed by how well it ran rival schools though. Psx4droid runs it but its really slow.
Couple things i dont like about fpse though. There doesnt seem to be haptic feedback ftom button presses. I need haptic feedback.
Also, on fpse the keys arent very forgiving. What i mean is that you need to press the button precisely or it wont register, thats kind of a problem. Psx4droid registers my input even if its a little off.
I cant get start, select and the shoulder buttons in landscape mode. Thats gotta get fixed.
All in all, this emulator has some issues, but it is a first release and has some big potential.

Keep the reviews coming. I don't want to buy it because of that 15 minute window.

I downloaded it just to try it and compare it to psx4driod 1.7 and v2 and I gotta say it still needs some work fsce (wateva the spelling is) is kool but dosen't play ff9 at full speed like psx4driod does....It has potential after a few updates and the ui needs to cleaned up menus look wak to me...just my 2 cents

Had the same issue. Download Autopopstation4 and read the readme. Trying it now.
Update: Works like a charm. Tried this with Final Fantasy V, Metal Gear Disk 1, as well as Legend of Dragoon disk 1. Go nuts...
Update2: Autopopstation does not work on multi-disk eboots. Still looking into that....

Let me start off by saying that I used to use psx4droid on some previous roms and it worked fairly. Definitely not a genuine playing experience, but it worked enough to show it off a little bit. Then when I jumped ship to MIUI it stopped working, no big deal. I just stopped using it. Then I tried this and what do you know.. works like a charm. I messed around with kernels a bit to get the wiimote working and voila.. my rig:
MIUI 1.2.11
Cm snap latest (7.5?)
HW Version 003
The first thing I tried out was Crash Bandicoot. The title and intro scenes flew by at well over 100fps so I decided to turn on the framelimiter in the options. I played the first level and a half and to my almost disbelief.. solid 56-60fps constantly. Very few drops to mid-high 40s. Sure I only played a few minutes, but I was definitely impressed.
Second game I tried was Spyro. Again, runs very smooth at a constant 56-60 during gameplay. Drops during cutscenes, but the gameplay itself is flawless. Again.. incredibly surprised.
Third game.. and this is where things get a bit rough. Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver. The game itself while you run and jump around runs at 45+ fps but it's definitely playable. It's not perfect 1:1 of what I checked out on youtube, but it plays. I skipped the beginning cutscene hastily, but there are some scenes generated with the games actual engine that you can't skip. This is where it all went downhill. There is an ominous voice speaking to you as you come back as the soul reaver or something along those lines.. I couldn't make it out cause the framerate kept dropping and his voice would skip. This drove me nuts. The sound emulation is generally not great on this emulator, but this game particularly was bad.
Other stuff:
For some reason, the settings don't save for me. I have to set them every single time I start a new game. Hopefully this is not a product of my setup and of the app itself.
I was able to play full screen. I saw someone post earlier that it won't stretch to the full screen, but it seemed to play perfectly across my entire screen beautifully. Just pointing that out.
This got me so excited for gaming on my evo that I actually ordered a Classic Controller Pro from amazon.. I can see myself using my evo much more once it gets to me for gaming. Very excited!
Battery drain was insane. Literally a % a minute. Although don't take this for much as I JUST flashed the kernel and usually I do see quick drain the first day or so of usage.
EDIT: My next game will be Tekken 3 only because I remember having such a hard time emulating it on a stock hd2 about a year ago and once on my own Evo. If this emulates it nicely... well... We have a winrar on our hands.

Updating with a new post otherwise no one will see this. I tried out street fighter 3 alpha and surprisingly enough, it runs like crap. It maintains around 40 fps but unless it runs at 60 it's just not smooth enough to pull off combos and all. Tekken 3 won't play at all past the first logo, the game just crashes. It came as a bin.ecm which I renamed to just a bin to get it to with which might be the problem

When ever you get an .ecm you need to un compress with the ecm tools - just google it . Once you download them drag and drag and drop the rom into the unecm file if I remember right and it will un compress so you can play.

ANOTHER GTA 3 MOD/TWEAK BY MEE! (in progress)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5uvs3kqiRlg
As you can see in the video, the files I tweaked were weapons in general so anybody with a weapon (police, gangs) have the same abilities, so what im doing is tweaking the weapons gangs & police use so they dont hurt us... But then the weapons they use, if we use them they will have low damage etc, guns that will be affected will be:
- Police: Pistol
- Police Squad: M16 or AK47 (Not sure, someone tell me?)
- Gangs: Shotgun, Pistol?
Any that ive missed please comment...
& ive found a way to make pedestrians, (i think police & gangs too) to be scared of you & run away from eachother & the opposite (fight with eachother) which is quite fun to watch...
As you can see in the video ive got most of the weapons outside my base (done most hidden packages)
& please could someone direct me in the right way because the current mission im on is 'a drop in the ocean' & when ive nearly finished the mission the game closes? :s ive tried restarting, chainfire 3d & its not helping

Its not like your cheating the game when your Modding it. Modding only gives you a whole new experience of the Game, like cool looking cars, jump while using weapons with movement restrictions and a whole new GTA World full of things you like. Its your choice to play and finish it without it or Live a Life of unparalleled Experience at GTA 3.

Mate good work on the mod, its good to see such creative work.
I love mods, even more so now as having already kicked pently of ass playing cheatless GTA3 on my PS2 ten years ago!!!
A modded version to be played on my mobile is sheer amazing work.
I cant help you with your problem as ive not played the story out much this time around, been doing taxi missions and random violence when playing it on my phone.
