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.

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.

Emulator for Touch Pro2 (+roms)

Guys,
Any good emulators for HTC Touch Pro 2 on the net? - GBC
- GBA
- PS
Any nice games/roms for these emulators?(for example i would like to have the whole pokemon series (from GBC to GBA (to DS if possible)))
What are your sources? sites and ****
Will there be emulators of PSP or DS or something or isnt that possible?
Thanks

Dont think those emulators exists.
I was looking for emulators of nes and sega, could find anything..

You can use morphgear if you change your IME settings so it can recognise the keyboard. However, Genesis module crashes and SNES isn't so stable either. SNES is usable though.

I've so far found FPSCe for PS(x?), Pocketgnuboy for GBC and Morphgear for GBA..
But shouldnt TP2 be able to play games from DS and PSP platforms.. it at least has a better CPU?? or doesnt that have anything to do with it?

Please note, you need to emulate EVERYTHING from DS and PSP! Our beloved Pro2 isn't capable of that!
Simply try to play a GBA game with sound enabled and you know how many power such an emulation would need!
P.S.:
Have you tried PocketGBA for GBA games? Loved it on my old dead Diamond!

Just because it has a higher CPU speed, does not mean it should be able to process stuff from other platforms better.
All CPUs have different architectures. The CPU in the Touch Pro2 is an evolution of the ARM architecture. The DS also uses an ARM class processor, but uses a different instruction set.
The PSP uses a MIPS CPU.
Modern computers use variations of the x86 architecture.
The reason why they are called "Emulators" is because they have to emulate the instructions and architechture of the processor of the other device. This wastes a HELL of a lot of your own devices CPU cycles.
This is why running a PlayStation (33MHz MIPS CPU) emulator on a 500MHz x86 PC CPU is pretty slow, despite having 15x the CPU speed.

Does anybode here have a NES or/and SNES emulator, which one supports landscape modus ???
I am using an TP2
1.53 CRASHEs after i try to load the selected rom.
Thanks a lot !

After I have watched the following video, I found that TP2 is quite smooth for playing some games on emulator.

You can also try emulating PC (not just DOS). You can mount any ISO as CDROM drive, there is Windows95 image ready to use, so no need to install, just start it up and play with it.
I got it all to work, it's not very slow, sometimes I click on something and it opens in 1-2 seconds, so not bad.
Not something to install games and play, but something cool to show off and play with.
I managed to add NE2000 network card but couldn't get network to work yet.
Works well on Touch Pro2, including Landscape mode.
After you press F12, hardware keyboard Enter key works as mouse click (single and double click). F5 turns full screen on.
Instructions:

P.S. There also is older MAC OSX image, loads pretty quickly under that emulator.

I think SNES emulator works...
you may try this..

wow, wait a sec.. does that mean that you managed to make an emulator work for the TP2 , which also supports landscape and full screen ?
If thats the case, than i wanna know where i cant find the software, before we go further with the games
If there is someone here in this whole forum, who wants it the most, than its definitely me
Im curiously waiting for a reaction ....

oohww.. no.. sorry i made you all enthousiastic for nothing
i ment thanks for the info about why the tp2 probably wont be able to handle psp & ds games.. and the software suggestions like.. fpsce(ps) pocketgnuboy(gbc) pocketgba/morphgear(gba) pocketsnes(snes)..
(allthough i thought that the gba emulators are in landscape what i saw on youtube.. but don't wanna give you false hope)
laterss..

I'd definitely be getting on this when I get my TP2 next week. I love using emulators for gaming on my Wizard and will definitely find ways to get SNES,PS,GBA working.

i came across a site that was crapping about an psx emulator??.. what's psx?

psx is playstation one. FPSeCE will run playstation games on Windows Mobile. There is a new version that should be coming out soon I've been keeping an eye on this one.
www.fpsece.net

and how about a c64 emu for wvga?

the *morphgear* is a great emulator (nes,snes,mdrive,gboy,gboycolor....) to full screen mode u have to go in the config settings,tap the vgame u'll play(nes,snes....) and change de zoom 100% to window size. u have to change de driver to (auto to GDI) , in orientation stay in north. to config the inputs u have to tap your virtual keyboard and tap "other inputs method", if u don't to it u'll stock inthe config input method and the number 229 will appear in all buttons. thanks

Podcasts and emulators?

Hey,
I've probably watched close to an hour of video reviews on the leo and no one mentioned podcasting functionality, afaik. Is it built into opera or the media player? Are there finger-friendly apps available?
I'm also interested in emulators for older gaming platforms, like SNES and the PSX. Performance seems promising, how about controls? Are there overlays with multi-touch in the works?
I'm new here, please forgive me if this has been answered. Didn't find anything in the stickies or through searching.
Cheers.

For podcasts you could give SmartRss Touch Edition a try.
I looks like it's still in beta, and isn't free, but there's a trial version for download.
I haven't tried it myself yet.
Cheers.

Thanks, looks good enough.
Someone on the FPSEce forums mentioned that a multi-touch controls overlay
for the psx emulator wasn't possible - something to do with limitations of the
capactive screen
Any word on whether he's telling the truth?

Performance should be almost full speed for every game with FPSECE as is with Toshiba TG01.
For controls, just buy a bluetooth gamepad from ebay and your away!
I tried Morphgear with Toshiba TG01 and got poor performance - I hope HD2 is differnt.

Thanks for your reply, I expect performance to be solid as well.
As for controls, I'm sure a bluetooth gamepad will work for some people but it's
just not for me. I would never consider carrying one just for a quick fix of wipeout
in the subway, and that's what I'm after.
The emulator runs VGA anyway, that leaves plenty of room for controls left and right.
The question is whether it's technically possible.

Pc games for Tp2 ?

Hi there, today I've recieved my tp2 But I saw you can run warcraft 2 on a htc diamond i believe is it possible for the tp2 to run this ?
THanks in Advance

yes its possible just search for it on the forum
maybe its an idea to go to http://wvga.pda4you.org/wvga-games-480x800/wvga-games.html
you have to register first but there you can find a lot of fun games for free and also warcraft

Thanks man this is so awsome !!!!!

Also do a search for Pocket UFO 1.26 - it's a Windows mobile remake of the classic UFO: Enemy Unknown. Great stuff if you like a bit of turn based action/strategy.
EDIT: Also, if you are familiar with DOS and can fiddle around with settings, you can download PocketDOS and/or DosBox for PPC. You need to tune the settings some, but that enables you to download original games for DOS and play them on the PPC. Personally I've been playing Eye of the Beholder 2 quite a bit the last few days, after that I'm playing Monkey Island I bet.

WOW wait dosbox on my phone FANTASTIC but does it support the qwerty keybord ? And Monkey Island great game my favourite only is there scummvm for windows mobile ??

3d mainly, games and something about spbshell3.5

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.
