x86 emulator for PocketPC

I'm looking for some x86 emulator that works on Windows Mobile 5 or 6. I used Pocket Bochs, but it doesnt work on my Qtek9100 with WM 5 nor WM 6. Is there any way how to run it on WM5/6 or is there some other x86 emulator for WM5/6? Google didnt found anything else than Pocket Bochs.

plz NO MORE BOCHS name EVER!
there are some other versions and builds of x86 emulators...
dosboxes by n0p - ok on wizard,
n0p cvs build(only which lead me to launch fallout on ppc..13 mb RAM!, master of orion playable, even HOMM was ok, settlers in 800x600, settlers 2...and playable jack jazz rabbit ) - works ok on wizard,
n0p dosbox xscale optimised - cant remember if its ok on wizard,
dosbox 6.1 - didnt want to try,
dosbox for wm03se - i cant find it on HDD...
some older dosboxes(arent optimised),
pdosbox 1.1 - forget it..,
pdosbox 2.0 - damn fast DAMN unstable....didnt test it on wizard
pckdos(made as pdosbox 2.x, more stable than 2.0)-seems to be quite slow on wizard, best mouse control,
pocketdos(fast 286, until 386/486 plugins used, then slow like bochs, i launched fallout on that 1 too ...)....works fine on wizard...
qemm- did not test...
3/4 of speed is to set PROPER cfg options.... so if its slow... its wrong set, or you are trying to make it on improper device ...
i am on wizard now, i was earlier on 400 mhz xscale...trust me wizard is slow with pc emus, always , but dosbox cvs seems to be fastest...when we are talking about usability.
for 286 pocketdos may be best...though.
btw, do not waste time with 195 mhz..lol... start from 243-273 mhz ...
link to dosboxes by n0p..:
http://n0p.tonych.info/?Welcome
btw - theres port of WARCRAFT 2 too, and ONLY sega mega drive emulator, that is able to run EU roms(pirates, cannon fodder, lemmings, lemmings tribes, etc)...
n0p is great.

Guys and gals, don’t forget to check out my brand new, MS-DOS / x86 emulation-related article at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=1276884
(Sorry for flooding – IMHO, this article certainly deserves attention because it answers ALL the questions a Windows Mobile user may want to EVER ask about emulating MS-DOS. Make sure you read it!)

wow, respect, seems to be very interesting article!

Windows 95 on Pocket PC

there was i a way of doing so long ago
http://www.pocketgamer.org/showthread.php?threadid=3660
but moust of the links sfrom there are dead or Outdated !
any sugestions of were to gell all i need ?
ie Bochs emulator that works on WM5 etc

niet, forget it....
do you have wizard?
forget it.
bochsppc was made for that screen(hheh)..
forget it.
you may think about win3.1, but believe me...forget about it too.
Wizard can hardly allow dos text mode imo..
btw, i am amazed, that you aren't looking onto Russian foras ...
You have BEST foras i could find...many talented people there...

i got Treo 750 WM5
i got the screen resolution Nyditot Virtual Display to run so it feels like huge screen but u have to scroll through it
and win 95 have sys requirement of "Preferred: Pentium 75Mhz or higher"
i think 300Mhz CPU even on emulater cen handel these (i hope)
and these link in the first post was on of the first from google search

you are new in matter, don't you?
your 300, 400, 620 mhz is nothing comparing to x86..believe me. add 4x more gfx data to compute(nyditot).
400 mhz xscale is like 16 mhz 386 in x86 emulated environment(MINUS that 386 gfx speed of course and on dosbox ONLY, 'cause bochs is SLOWERRRR)...
well.. circa about.
max emulated mem is ok, 13 mb with n0p's dosbox, but you won't be able to launch w95 on it(i launched dos fallout with it..hheh.).
bochs may launch w95, but you will have time to drink big coffee(or get nap) to get onto w95 desktop.
And then you will feel pain, cause there's NO KEYBOARD support(as far as i know..).
When u will see desktop, your battery say AAAAAAArgh.
Good luck with installing w95 of course....
win3.1 installation is taking 35 minutes or so? installation of total commander for 3.1 took >20 minutes.
I gave you links, you will find preinstalled win there(made on pc bochs).
go and have fun...
http://4pda.ru/forum/index.php?showtopic=44701
sorry for destroying your vision of having UMPC,...no way.
all you can have from pc on ppc - some old games/dos soft. settlers 1 ,2, colonization..etc.

nothin is speaking the absolute truth about this software. I tried this on my old x50v and even with the 624mhz processor an old 486/66 with 16 megs ram made it look like a joke.

Oh well im givig up th idea
to much to do for it and i dought i will be sucessfull
for start i cant find win95
not tlaking of the rest of the tools i will need

why not just use simple OS if you want something like a windowed operating system, works but still a bit buggy

Games

Hi
Anyone have a list of decent games that work happily on the VISTA side?
Havent played games in years and tempted to get Civilisation IV - would this work OK on Shift?
Cheers

Hi.
Don't know if Civilisation IV worked.
I know that Command & Conquer works up to "Red Alert 2". I often play RA2 and it works like a charm.
Tobi

I play Ground Control and Warcraft, Starcraft also works.
I guess there are a lot of titles which will work...
Just make sure to update the VGA driver to gain some extra performance.

how do i install command & conquer first decade on shift
i installed it already using an external dvd drive
but some games don't work
how do i get them to work?
and what no-cd file do i use?
i installed it on my sdhc card

Rise of Nations works, Fifa 2000, Pro Evolution Soccer 7...

If you have enough space, you can create an ISO file from your game disk and mount it with a virtual cd drive. DaemonTools can do that for you.
Alternatively, you can use NO-CD cracks, provided by GameCopyWorld.com. (I assume you have legit copies of the games)

yeah i have them installed with no-cd files
but these only work : command & conquer
command & conquer tiberium sun
command & conquer red alert 2
how do i get the others to work?
tommorow i'm getting : the sims deluxe edition

You may need to edit the ini files for some of the games, so they will work under the Shifts screen resolutions, I had to do that to get some C&C games to work on my Asus Eee.

and how do i do that?

google the game name and "widescreen". There is a website dedicated for this guides.
Also, looking at the game forum from the eee helps a lot, as most of the games will also run on shift.

maybe we can make a full list in a thread of all games that work on the shift
and give info on how to make them work
who is willing to do that?

We can start here:
Neverwinternight: ok at 800x480
Pirates( newest version): ok, a bit slow
wesnoth: perfect
freelancer:buggy screen, but playable
myth II : ok
freespace: ok
dominion 3k
ground control: ok
galactic civilisation: ok but at 1024
medieval total war: battle ok, campain not ok
virtual villager 1 2 3k
warzone 2001: ok
unreal 2004 :slowish but ok
freeciv sdl versionk
Baldur Gates II SoAk
don't forget vista games: they are not installed by default but they are here

i can confirm that homeworld 1 and cataclysm runs very well on it.
homeworld 2 runs a bit slow sometimes but it's ok. (you can start the game in 800x480)

how do i get the standard vista games?

Anyone know of a good external DVD drive that works with the Shift (slimline)?

I'm using HP dvd1040, works perfect , maybe is little too much bulky and needs external power, but is better than this one build-in in my Sony laptop, and has double layer, light scribe...You just plug in, and that it .But for games I much more recommend to use Virtual CDv9 software...Of course big games don't will be working on Shift, and older don't take that much space.So the best way is just keep images of games on storage card (I have 16gb) and than if you want to play, you insert virtual cd in.

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..

Not working on my TP2..
Gives a SEND - Do not send error after i chose the rom to load..
Is there anyone who managed to make it work on the tp2 ?

oke thanks guys for emulator info and software..
now.. what kind of nice games/software you guys got installed on your babies..?

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.

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
