Which game-emulator works on Jasjar/MDA PRO

Hello there
got myself today a mda pro. On my ipaq 4150 I played I lot with snes for pocket pc. This doesn't work on my new mda pro. Which emulator like snes, mame, GBA works on MDA Pro

Im a big Amiga fan, so I just signed up to this;
http://pocketinsanity.sourceforge.net/
Its for PPC devices, and it *almost* works on my Exec, so I posted a message on the developers forum to let him know.
Cheers

MorphGear is probably the best all-round Emulator. Though recently they've changed the way you use it, preferring to go for plug-in style bits rather than an all-in-one .exe

I already installed it. But whith the vga screen it crashes.
p.s. I have 10.000 of roms

I cant get MorphGear to work at all on my XDA Exec
Get the error;
Destiny: Exception in E:\dev\spicypixel\destiny\src\gapi\gapidisplay.cpp at line 355. Unable to open display.
Any idea how to fix this????

i have the same error...
however that is only since i did my 1st rom update.... with the original t-mobile dutch rom it worked..

The Morphgear is trying to use the GAPI drivers, and since those are not supported in the WM5, you need to switch it to GDI instead (much slower).. If you'r not able to open the settingspanel for morphgear, you can manually change it in the registry (don't remember the key though)
If you look at the supportforums at morphgear you'll soon find that this is the #1 most reoccuring question. (at least when I last checked)
best regards

It's probably a 3 right now. You can change it to any of the following numbers:
0=GDI
1=GAPI
2=RawFrameBuffer
3=Auto
when set to GDI (=0) it works fine again
thnx LOMF

ScummVM works, but only in QVGA mode, and the screen is 180 degrees rotated.

Opera 9.5 build 2745

Looks like it was released recently.

Just installed it so can't say much about it, but the screen rotation issue still exists, and the download manager doesn't seem to be accessible (?!).

I've tried all the opera builds on my x7510 and I think that the one that works better is build 1957 from Omnia (no keyboard or screen rotation issues).
I think that the opera builds released into Omnia ROMs fits better on Athena devices than the versions released into HTC ROMs (Diammond or Touch HD).
Yesterday I've extracted a new version (or at least, not released on this forum) of opera from the latest Omnia oficial ROM. Its build number is 2520 and seems to work fine on my x7510.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH !!!!!
It does seem 2520 is faster than 1957.
The ADDRESS BAR is slightly OFF just like in 1957. Is yours the same too?
I still have Opera 1957 installed onto my Flash Disk. So basically I have both Opera 1957 and 2520 working well on my device and both installed to my Flash Disk. You can only launch one Opera application at a time though.

Those that have tried 2520, please post your experiences.
xtep, do you have a full installer that you can post on a new thread?

fastest ever here on my 7500. no flsh lite 3.1 working, though. that is not unusual, though, either...
j

FlashLite 3.1 works only on youtube. It works for me. You must have done something wrong.

tjat is always nice to hear but you were right, youtube works. I didn't know they limited a player software to a site. with opera 1938 (or 1937, tried so many...) I could also play youpo**n, btw

Does 1938 have the keyboard bug?

Unfortunately yes. That's why I don't use it, could live with the screen switching to portrait when loosing focus, but the keyboard problem is annoying.

hey i just put together 2520 cab. you guys can get it here:
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=Q6BTMTFE
changes to the cab inlcuded:
removed transparent overview window
black diamond skin
set width mx to 240/less jumpy when browse in mx mobil view
ie7 regedit hack
[Performance]
Max Connections Server=6
Max Connections Total=6
Network Buffer Size=2 (for those with more ram available, you may when to increase this)
edit: didnt realize that the athena has a 480 max width. you guys may want to change the ssr max width in the opera.ini file to 480 and network buffer size to 6 or 8 for better performance.

Giving more infos

Thanks for your upgrade. It's working well on my sd card for Vega O2 Exec by just upgrading from version 1957 through copy on SD Card\Program files\Opera9\
High appreciated!

I installed 2520 a few days ago and its definitely my new favorite. No keyboard or rotation issues. I don't like the zoom control in the top right, I wish it was at the bottom left like other versions - it covers scroll bars.

[Q] PocketDOS on X1

I've installed PocketDOS 1.12.1 with FREEDOS on my X1. PocketDOS runs just fine and shows my storage card as c: - which is good.
Now I'm trying to get my favourite oldschool DOS game running, One Must Fall (OMF). Here, a problem occurs where it states that an error occured at *hex code*. aka, it doesn't run as DOS normally would. (and yes, I've tested OMF, it works fine on my PC) I've also tried x486 emulator, but OMF sais that no 486 is detected.
Has anyone gotten a DOS emulator running properly? I'd love to play this game on my X1.

Give me a hint where I can get the game and i'll test it on my PocketDOS setup.

I have no idea where I got it from, but I'm pretty sure it's shareware.
How about you share your pocketDOS setup?

Sure

Sure thing, what exactly do you want sharing?
I'll go google the game and ty it out first, no point wasting time if it doesnt work.

Ok
I just installed it and it works fine with sound off. If I enable sound i get a runtime error, but with about 10 sound card options to choose plus having to manually chose the IRQ and DMA channel it was unlikely I was going to get it right first time any way.
There is also an update for the game that was STRONGLY recommended, I'll install that now too and see if it still works.
P.S. It's currently running pretty slow.

Alright. Good to see that at least you've gotten it to work.
What version of PocketDOS are you using, any addons? I'm using 1.12.1 with FREEDOS. Also tried the x468 plugin, but that didn't work properly.
Perhaps the OMF I've got isn't any good for the PPC..

PDOS_BOCHS_CPU.dll 486 emulation
If you put more than 1 DLL in there for the emulation it wont detect or work. Delete the DOSBOX one if you have the both then enable this one in settings.
P.S. I tried installing the update for OMF.... I didn't notice any improvement ... but it did break the "full version" and make it a demo.

my cracked version works tho i even had heroes of might and magic working on a 11mghz 486 and also windows 3.0

Aye, I got it to work now, but it's indeed slow as hell. The X1 is far more powerful than is needed for this game. I've only tried a 486 emulator, does anyone have a pentium emulator?
Would love to get this game running properly!
I also noticed one graphical issue, the screen is shifted towards the right a bit, clipping off ~60px of the image. On the left side, the missing pixels appear. You guys see that too?

i'd say skip the emulators and run native games for good performance

Just try this:
In the dosbox goto
Settings ;Display ;performance
Write mode :Choice Write-thrrough
and under
options: choice "Write directly to display memory"
perhaps this might help.
best regards

not using any plugin, increased the expanded and extended ram to above 8mb, under display write mode "write through" and "write directly to video memory"
this setting makes some of my games not as painfully slow as dosbox 4-7 fps... quite playable, just no sound

You have to have a cpu plugin to run OMF.
The tweaks aren't helping!

try the PDOS_BOCHS_CPU.dll plugin with that setting? it will probably slow it down pretty bad...
i dont get how some of the xscale 500mhz+ device runs some games at 20fps while x1 runs at 4-7fps with the exact same setting using dosbox...

Yes, that's the dll I'm using. Are there any better ones? I mean, this is 486 emulation, there must be something like a pentium emulator around.
I don't get why the X1 doesn't run it smoothly either. Though I guess it's the qualcomm cpu that isn't properly supported.

Just the thread i waited for...
I've been trying to get dosgames to run on my x1 for quiet a while but coludn't get any sattisfying results.
I used three different versions of dosbox for ppc but they were all too slow and had problems with their on screen keyboard. the wvgascreen is an other problem. but the worst thing is that development of dos-emus for winmob stopped a long time ago.
I would wet my pants if i cold get rebel assault with sound to run on my phone at a playable framerate...

i just dont think the 2d driver is properly implemented... like all the msm7xxx line qualcomm cpu
my dell axim x51 (xscale 416mhz) runs dos games fine with dosbox (20-33fps), and x1 runs at 4-7fps, and a whooping 11fps when the screen is completely blank ); with pocketdos, the dell axim is running at full speed (except when 486 cpu plugin is used), x1 is just playable with a big "?" attached to it
same goes for morphgear snes module, it is quite fast with axim x51 with mid quality sound, but lags on x1 with no sound (still playable)

Has anyone tried to run the no$gba dos version on pocket dos?
Would be very interesting if or how it works.

Not me. What exactly is that?

Well, its a gba emulator
It comes as a windows or dos version. haven't tried it myself. Maybe because i do not have pocket dos on my X1^^.
Its freeware, not like morphgear. You find it on the site linked above.

GfxBoost

Has anybody tried running the new GfxBoost program on their Touch Cruises?
I was wondering if there was an increase in performance and also if it impacted the battery life of the phone.

I tried version 1.0 but my Cruise freezes...
Now im using Neos2007SVG drivers...

I tried version 1.0 service work well but camera no work

Do you notice any speed improvement? 3D or 2D?

version 1.1 works on my polaris with wm6.5
installs ok, SR, process & service works, camera works
now i use MS3 + M2D together and its like it was, after SR graphics works slow then i turn screen off & on and it works fast as it was but i see no improvements,
windows wm6.5 default today plugin works not very smooth as it was,
file explorers (resco and windows explorer) scrolls same speed as it was,
3d games (virtual pool & 3d mines) works same as it was,
igo8 same as it was
so....it works but doesnt improve
edit:
i tried now driver from HERE and its definitely improving file explorer scroll

Enhanced D3D Driver

Here is an Enhanced D3D Driver for our Touch Pro2. Before you install driver run the D3DDemo file from your phone. Extract D3DMDemo.exe and copy it anywhere on your phone (Storage Card is good). Run it and see how slow it runs with the default D3D Driver. Then install At0mAng Enhanced D3D Driver.cab, restart and run the D3DMDemo again and see the difference
Enjoy!
Just to make things clear. I did not develop the driver, it was from the Samsung Omnia and the libgles_CL.dll comes from NuShrike. I have been using it since my TyTN II days, gave it a shot on the Rhodium and it worked. I did not see it in this forum so I cabbed it up (was OEM in my kitchen) and posted it.
The cab file contains two dlls both from the D3DM driver and the correct registry settings for d3dm_ati.dll.
To learn more about this driver and to try newer releases please see this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=496528
There have been a few reports that the drivers from above thread break a couple of things like the G-Sensor with Opera so I am posting back the original file I had up. Strange since I do not have that problem with the latest drivers from the above thread.
It's up to you to decide which drivers you would like to use.

Rocks!

Cool...glad it is working on other devices.
Been using this driver since the TyTN II then to Raphael and now on to Rhodium Not sure if it is a good or bad thing that the same driver works on the last 3 devices I have...

Wow! It really worked and the M3D really is faster!
Cheers mate!
-ilari

On the Telus (MSM7600) it went from 0.85 ish FPS to a smooth test. Very dramatic change

Same for me here too

is it really faster?
does it mean, that the video-playback is also better?

TF3D is using OpenGL ES or Direct3D? If it's written for OpenGL ES the new drivers should not have any impact over it. It's only my opinion.
Any ideas?

Just to let you know I also went from 0.75 FPS to about 25 FPS.
Crazy change, just don't notice much difference in TF3D.

what's the difference between this and neo's beta 3d driver pack?

Same opinion. But I cannot see fps in the demo after installing the new driver.
The increase in fps is recognizible high in the demo. The object first is absolutely stuck without the driver. With the driver installed it runs fluidly.

in this demo I have a big boost with this driver !!
Whith games work with that driver? My old quake dont work on my TP2

Will this work on MSM 7201 chipset as well? I don't want to make hardreset again if something will going wrong on my TP1. Thanks.
Edit>
Nevermind,I tried it. Unfortunately no visible change happens on Raphael.

No Change
It made no difference on my Touch Pro 1

I installed it on Touch Pro2 and test runs a lot faster. And also TouchFLO 3D runs more smoothly. I don't know why, but it's really faster. I think TF3D2 uses OpenGL-ES and Direct3D driver can't change it's performance.

great great work At0mAng
i have tested in my HD and workly very very well

Difference in the Demo is quite noticeable.

will this driver accelerate need for speed undercover or xtrakt as well?

Seems to work awsome. Thanks.
