Hey All,
I couldn't find any related threads but please point me to them if there are any.
I'm having a problem with pocketsnes. I've tried both 1.12 and 1.53 and even different emulators. The problem is it doesn't seem to release the 'ram' after i exit out of the application. It even seems to grab more until my 6800 needs to be soft reset. I checked the task manager and its not showing up anymore but the amount of available memory still shows upwards of 80-90%. The only solution I have found to free up my ram again is to uninstall the cab.
When I first install it and run it everything seems great and i'm getting 60fps on games like chronotrigger and r-type, but if I exit and come back to it, its using up too much memory and starts to get laggy.
Any help is appreciated. Thanks
i had that same issue a while back with PocketSNES. i would just soft reset after playing. not ideal. however, it seems to have resolved itself after using DCD's more current kitchens?
btw have you tried playing in 'landscape mode' fullscreen, keyboard closed, and using the D-pad as a joystick? turns my Mogul into a budget-PSP! i love PocketSNES but it appears no longer maintained :/
Yeah i'm on titan reloaded 1.3.1, based off DCD's newer roms i guess. I think soft reset is going to be my only resolution. I haven't tried playing with the d-pad yet but I got it working good with my keyboard... anyway if anyone else knows some fix for this let me know.
Thanks
I'm using 1.12.141 build 2002-10-16a On DCD 3.3.4. Currently its working very well. I had trouble with later versions like 1.5.... I couldn't load roms or even use the file navigation. I find that running Oxios Hibernate after running Pnes frees a fair bit of memory but you should always be ready for instability. Its to bad Pnes isn't updated, Its great!

Pocketsnes
Yeah i'm running 1.53 currently because i get the best framerate out of it. I've used oxios too and it seems to help. Its more like an intermitten problem on my latest install, hasn't been too big of an issue but my framerates aren't as great as they were on my first install of it.
Can anyone vouch for if it's worth me installing the cab and roms on the phone rather than the SD? right now i'm running the app on the phone and the roms on the SD and i'm thinking it might have something to do with my performance. Also, it sure would be great if anyone had any info on if pocketsnes is being updated at all ( its been over a year it seems), also if there are any other updated emu's outside of smartgear and morphgear.

Hello all...
I am at an end here, frustrated and very sad..
No, now really the problem.
I've searched high and low for this problem, and really can't seem to find a solution.
I have a htc Tytn, or hermes.
If I haven't performed a reset in a couple of hours, when I run an app, like NEtfront, or Messenger, then for instance go to write a text message, the tytn closes all other apps.
This is starting to become very annoying, especially since I am also running s2u2, and s2p.
If s2p is running, and s2u2 locks the phone, after a couple of seconds s2p auto closes.
Really tried everything, this is really bugging me out, anybody had or has the same issue?
Please, please pretty please with cherry's on top, can anybody help me?
Running on Schapp's rom, 4.22
Using quickmenu, want to use x to really close apps, maybe that's related, but problem is also there when use x to close is deactivated.
Running SBSH today screen plugin (Ilauncher) as well, but also with task manager function disabled..
This is getting so annoying, someone please help me!!
I think you may have a chronic shortage of RAM. Try running less stuff, and perhaps as a test, run a clean ROM for a while.
Thanks
Thanks for the reply.
Was thinking the same, just strange that when I look at my RAM usage, it is always way above 10mb with all above running.(normally I am at a stable 21-17 MB memmory free).
But maybe incidentally, it's usage peeks, especial;ly with s2p.
Been noticing that when you play around with it a little, it consumes a lot of RAM.
Waiting for Schap's new rom..
In the meantime, can you recommend a good clean rom?
Was thinking about PDACorner's rom.
But are you sure you do not have the phantom taps on top right corner in portrait mode. (Has the effect of closing programmes):

Since I don't own a Hermes, I have no idea what ROMs would be best. But, anything that's been stripped out a fair way would seem a good bet to me!

The mysterous adventures of the Screen Tap Ghosts!
starting fresh..
just installed the PDAcorner v21..
will see what it will do.
It's not the ghost, though, since it only happenes after the device was running for couple of days without reset.
Will keep you posted of progress..
ps...sorry Mike for crossposting
You all have my humble appologies...
Just hope this helps, cause it was driving me absolutely bonkers...
Cheers for answering guys,,really appreciate it
Ok so I have installed M2D from the beginning and got it working....kind of.... I have a lot of questions about it but I love how fast it works. But everytime I close a program and go back to my home screen it says "TOUCH HERE TO LAUNCH TOUCHFLO". With having to wait for this to load every time I close something I don't think it is worth installing anymore. If anyone can tell me how to have it loaded from when I accept it the Today menu instead of having to keep loading it. THis is a major deal breaker. Does anyone else have any feedback on M2D?
I had the same problem. I uninstalled it now.
sometimes it happens with me to, but maybe it closes automaticly when you run out of RAM? so you have to free up ram by closing other programs?
That happened to me until I installed Update 13. Now it only does that when the phone is booting up. After that any program I close brings me to the Today Screen automatically without giving me the Loading Touchflo prompt.
I followed the instructions and it works wonderfully me, I have no problem with m2d, is perfect in my sprint touch
Can you guys help me find this?

Where is this? I want to try installing from the beginning.
may be because of still developement is going on some glitches here and there. once opal is officially released it may solve all the problems.. we hope so.. as of now i have uninstalled it..
I am waiting for someone to hack the heck out of it to make it MUCH smaller, and more flexible (e.g., use other apps that default HTC ones).
But it sure is slick!
Hi
I'm not sure if I misunderstood something with the early M2D versions, but is it (still) true, that installing M2D will disable every other today plugin? I have phoneAlarm running and wouldn't like to have to scrap that.
Do you know where to get update 1 thru 4?
Amazing progress for WM
Hey, I installed everything that was in those instruction folders made few resets and turn off the cube. And now everything works perfectly including longer battery charge and much much faster phone performance... I am using Sprint HTC Touch
Does anybody know of why this won't work on non HTC devices? I tried installing it on my Samsung i760. It installed no prob, but when loading, it keeps saying "TOUCH HERE TO LAUNCH TOUFLO" and nothing.
Its probably something to do with the drivers Im guessing.
Any ideas? it looks like an awesome interface and it would great to see this running on any WM6.1 device.
Which files to install on a standard ROM
Deleted, posted in other thread...
I have an Alltel HTC Touch, and I have a problem with WM 6.1; everytime I close out a game, it slows down my entire phone (and sometimes freezes it if I load an app like Opera Mobile). I've been to PPCGeeks about this, and they helped me a lot, by helping me overclock the processor. My phone doesn't slow down too much anymore, but the slowdown is noticeable enough to still be a problem.
I've flashed to at least six different WM6.1 roms now, and each of them gave me the same issue.
Does anyone have any fixes for this? I would really appreciate the help!!
SIDE NOTE:
Also, my camera is very laggy indoors. It ran perfectly smooth before my transition to 6.1, and it remains laggy when I flash back to the stock WM 6.0. Its bearable right now, but if anyone knows how to get it running smoothly indoors again, I'd really appreciate it!
For starters, this is not an issue with the OS.
What game is it?
How many other apps are running?
How many processes are running?
What ROM are you using?
What is the Page Pool size?
Thanks for the quick reply!
Uh oh... that means the problem lies with my phone. I hope it's a problem that can be fixed...
Do you know if there's anything I can do to fix this then?

LOL!
I'm trying to help you, but I can't until you answer some of the questions.
It's like calling a mechanic and asking what's wrong with your car, it runs a bit odd, but that's all the info given.
Sorry about the double post. My info's below.
Maybe a little more information will help.
My phone first started doing this when I flashed to the new Alltel WM 6.1 rom. I followed the instructions, doing EXACTLY what the tutorial (from HTC's website) told me to. After the flash everything worked fine except for my camera and the games (slowdown issue).
I hope this helps.
WOW, I am SO sorry, I didn't even see those questions! I thought they were a part of your sig and didn't read it
1. It slows down with any game I run except for the ones that come with the rom (solitaire and bubble breaker). The games I've tried are:
Acky's XP Breakout
4pinball
Anything on Pocketnester
Snails Reloaded
Turbo Invaders
Shift
Realms
More...
2. No other processes are running. The game is the only one.
3. The roms that I've used are (all of these are for Alltel):
Conflipper's Vouge 6.1 ROM
Crystal v.4 6.1 ROM
Official 6.1 ROM
Dette M2D Diamond Edition v2.3 (Generic rom. This is the one I'm on currently).
4. How do I find the pagepool size again?
Again, sorry about that. I didn't see your questions
I officially give up!

You should have followed the cookers instructions, if you did not follow their instructions exactly, reflash by their way.
For the camera, it's sometimes laggy, especially with low memory.

I haven't even seen half of these games, but PocketNES can be buggy. I suggest using dotfred's Task Manager and viewing CPU usage after playing these games. One of them may have a memory leak causing this.
Also check the other running processes for memoery consumption.

Ususally the cooker posts this, but I see he didn't, the basics on this is it determines your available program memory at all times, especially on boot up, if you really want to know, soft reset, wait a min or two and check the avail program memory. Or use nue's system tool to view additional info.
Also, trying using Oxios Memory, it's free and will free up all avail program memory not being used.
You can try schap's Advanced Config Tool to speed up various parts of your device for improvement.
Alright, don't want to sound frustrated, but I just watched some Hell's Kitchen !
You are a genius! Thanks for the suggestions. I'm gonna try them now and see what happens, and I'll be back with my results!
And, no, you didn't sound frustrated, even though if you did, I couldn't blame you
Thanks again!
Okay, I'm back. Using the task manager you suggested, I found the problem.
The game that I tested (4Pinball) is still running after I closed it. It doesn't show up on the quick menu in the upper right corner of the today screen, but it DOES show up in that task manager.
So I go to close it, and it says it can't be closed properly, and it asks me if I want to kill it. The strange thing is, the choices are ok and cancel instead of yes and no. But anyway, I hit ok.
then another message pops up, but there's no text in it; there's just an X there. After I close that message by hitting ok, I see that 4Pinball remains in the task manager, and it's still there even after I hit refresh.
I installed it to the storage card. Would there be a better chance of it working if I install to device memory?
Sometimes I got the blank message to, don't worry about that, but you have to kill the process for it to work.
Try uninstalling it and running without it.
I keep getting the blank screen... I tried to install it on both the storage card and the device memory, but in either case it doesn't close the game. I'll keep tryin'.
Oh yeah, and I tried that oxios memory program, but it didn't work... it would start loading, but it would never come up.
I remember hearing about a program that freed up ram over at ppcgeeks's forum. I'm gonna see if I can track it down.
Well I did 2 hard resets to see if Manilla2D was the problem and i'm using just that and the stock sprint 6.1 ROM and all of a sudden im having a couple annoying problems and wondering if there is any fixes to them.
- When I click on a Text Message from the main screen and it brings up the threaded texting, when im using XT9 and I start typing it will type as if im holding down the letters like if I press the "as" button "?" will come up, and for me to type normal i have to go to Start>Programs>Messaging, which is really annoying lol.
- Another one is im using the TouchFlo2D Dialer, if i switch to keypad from call status the whole phone freezes up and i have to soft reset
- everytime i restart my touch i get a startkey.exe error and i just hit dont send and start up touchflo.
- last problem/bug that i can remember is that my phone is really really slow and i have nothing on it except manilla2d.
these are the steps i did to install manilla 2D idk if it will help solve my problem:
copied the "EMPTY" biotouch.exe and 3 other files I got from XDA and put them in the "Windows" folder, then used resco registry editor and disabled the cube, then installed all the cabs for Manilla2D to my "Device" not storage card, (it asked me to soft reset after some of them, but i didnt since i was going to soft reset after i finished installing them all.) then soft reseted and manilla2d works just is really laggy =(
any help would be greatly appreciated! thank you in advance =D
I had the same problem with my phone running extremely slow whenever i tried installing manila 2d on my phone through the cab installs. I flashed to a custom rom with manila 2d built in it and the problems went away. It runs extremely smooth now.
ive never flashed my phone and only way i would do it if i had someone walk me through it as im doing it=\
How did you get the 6.1 ROM? You would flash it the same way as you did that one.
i just installed it from the htc site or whatever, but for custom roms dont you have to do all that unlocking and what not?

It's not terribly hard - in fact, the unlocking process is very similar to how you flashed the official ROM update.
Just use COKE's unlocker (just an app like the flasher) and install any custom ROM you want
this slowness has happened to me with a custom rom, i think its manilla.
it was very wierd, overall the entire OS was mega slow and un-usable as the OP said
I found what works best for me is piecing everything. I took everything from Update 19 except M2D-Beta-x.xx(Update19).cab. I installed M2D-Beta-x.xx(Update 15).cab (anything after made my device slow). I installed the latest version of Opera.
(sorry for the dots I'm just looking at them on my phonenand it's not showing all of the titles on some.)
First I ran:
HTC.home.v2.1.1005.722.directory.and.......... .cab
So From 19:
Enchasement..outlook.and.picture...... .cab
Audio Manager_2.0_1819.2129.cab
FSP, DShow, WMP, Youtube, Video Fixes.cab
Album_2.0_1818.3829.4.cab
Task_Manager_2.1 34837.5.cab
GoogleMaps_compressed.cab
HTC_Opera9.5.2392_www.cab(This is not from 19 Found it in another thread)
YouTubeQVGA1_5_1819_1531.and.mhubVO.cab
From Update 15:
M2D-Beta-0.08(Update 15).cab
Good Extras:
digital clock
Ringtone_plugin_1.00.080416.2.cab
Volume_control.cab
UI Tweaker
If you need this packaged let me know.
Great manilla2d rom
Hey guys.
If your looking for a good, fast, stable rom with manilla29 PLEASE flash this rom..............
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=432487
NFSFAN has spent lots of time on this and is by far THE BEST manilla2d rom there is out there. He is constantly update bugs and getting the fixes out as soon as possible. This is the closest thing you can get to the diamond/touch pro without buying one. Any questions please feel free to ask BUT READ ALL DIRECTIONS ON FLASHING IF YOU HAVE NOT YET!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have to second that.
I used to have the stock Bell 3.09.666.10 ROM, with (my last incarnation) update 21. To get all the parts of M2D running (yuotube etc) you have to install alot of patches and tweaks.
My theory has always been, if you have to add too many parts to get something to work, maybe you should start over. Google "Beech 1900D" to see how this applies to aircraft!! A custom ROM with everyhting cooked in oem style runs much better than a Frankenstien special.
It is fun trying to get everything to work though.
When I first added M2D to my device it was extremely slow. After playing around for a while I found that the page pool played a huge roll in the speed of the rom. My page pool is set at 24 and I have no problems at all. I have had no problems with NFSFAN's roms. I believe the PP is already set to 24. Hope this helps.
Hey everybody.
I got some problems with a few games on my diamond.
The first game, I got problems with is DragonBall VGA, which can be found here.
At first, I install it. Then I start the game.. and it works flawless.
But if I try to start it a second time.. it doesn't display anything.. only the normal screen I have been to before.
The weird thing is.. I can hear the game running. I can hear the sound and I can navigate through the menu.
But I just can't see anything! Although I could play it the first time I installed!
WTF!?
I tried different version numbers etc. but I allways got the same problem. And a simple re-install doesn't help.. I have to hard reset my device to get it to work once!
Similar problems with: Nanobotz, Enslave and Resco xBall (doesn't even start once. Just gives me a weird error message, "not enough free memory")
I just want to know WHY!?
And is there any solution for this?
I'm using the very stable AZTOR rom.
Thanks for your help,
Monstaaaah
No recommendation? o_o
I really need help to play these great games..
wow.. 286 views and still no response.
Nobody got any idea?
try to uninstall games and apps from main memory and reinstall it on the 4gb internal memory.... idk if that is ur problem
Allready tried it. Doesn't change anything.
But thanks anyway.
Any other solutions?
try this
try taking off TF3D and doing it that way, if still no, clear up more ram by reseting the phone and then run them, it probably will work now. if this doesn't help. then i am clueless.
hope it works
If it is a lack of memory issue (which I had on xtrakt) then you can gain quite a few megs by disabling the htc dialpad with advanced config and as stated above also disabling tf3d, settings/today/items.
