At last: PocketSNES for HTC Universal!

You guys must have been aching for a working SNES emulator for your Universal; you've got it now!
Two days ago I received this updated version of PocketSNES from a generous guy who wishes to remain anonymous. It is based on the SNES9x ver. 1.39.
I ran Super Mario World and Yoshi's Island on the emulator. Both ROMs ran smoothly without sound on, and I mapped the controller buttons with the keyboard. So now my Universal is a bit like the Nintendo DS, except it only has one screen and only runs smoothly without sound on.
Have a go anyway - simply unzip the downloaded file, copy both the .exe file and .dll file to a folder on your device and then run it.
Unfortunately this program has been optimised for use on the HTC Universal only, so I'm afraid that owners of other WM5 devices may not be able to use this.
BTW the boring stuff: you should know that you can only download the ROMs provided that you have bought a copy of the game. You will have to search for the download sites yourself I'm afraid!

Tried but it couldn't run.
It raised the error: "The file cannot be opened. Either it is not signed with a trusted certificate, or one of its components cannot be found...."

Will give it a shot. Thanks for sharing!

That could be to do with your ROM. Which version is it? You might have to app-unlock your ROM in that case.

I get the same error, tried running from phone memory, and storage card. I am running Mr Clean Rom
Thanks

same error. Certificate problem. Have latest jasjar ROM from Imate.
PLs solve it, you made me curious and I still have hundreds of SNES files, wating to be played with.
Huib

Got the same error
Have a XDA Exec with latest rom.

Dear all,
Sorry about that: my bad. I forgot to include an essential .dll file.
Download the new zipped file, extract it and copy both file to a folder on your device and it should work.

Yep it's working now.
Tried donkey kong country and mario allstars, both working excellent with sound on. You just need to get used with the controls (buttons).
Thanks man.

May I ask what sound setting are you on? Is the game running at a good frame rate?

At the moment i'm running arkanoid at a frame rate of 30. The other games i tried are between 25-35 fps.
Activated sound options are:
V Sound Emulation
V Sync Sound
V Stereo
V Interpolate Source
V Alt Sound Decoder
V Envelope Height Rea....der
V Fix Frequency
Quality is 16 bit.
Rate is medium.

wow works great. 25fps. I would like my dos-emulator to do that.
The only thing is that the keys aren't working like on a joypad or my computer. Let me explain.
on my qtek 9000 you press the right-arrow key an hold it for walking right. If you meanwhile click another button the system forgets that you've holding the right-arrow key. Threrfore its almost impossible to play jump'n'run games.
Does anyone have a solution for this kind of problem?

I'm having that problem too. Disabling the sound helps a bit but I don't know if there is a solution for this. I'll ask the guy who wrote this program.

The Keyborad driver for qtek9000/Universal doesn't allow multiple key press.
You can use other hard keys though including camera, voice, backligh, Video, Contacts etc

is there a way to replace these drivers? does alternative drivers exist? does anybody knows a solution?
This cant't be the end I've tried "super street fighter 2" it works fluently and flawlessly except the fact that you can't jump forward or backward, not talking about the special moves, just because of the keyboard!

It is possible to write an alternate driver for the keyboard. I'm not voluntering though (not at the moment at least)

Thank mate! This is awesome.

its beatifull

Are you using it on a Universal device? It is probably the game because I have sound problems with one of my games too.

How to play Worms ?

I tried to play Worms for mobile but i only have one button working, the pad is not responsive... so i can't play
Is there a solution ?

I just wanted to ask the same question...
Can't map any buttons, except the camera.
Are there any ideas?

Here is a start: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=296263&highlight=worms
Now we have to find how to set FIRE to the Center Pad button
Hex editor friends, you are welcome here

yeah, i want to play worms too.. plz someone do us the favor

I tried the metod from Valentin.H's link.
I got the following keycodes:
0xd (13)) center pad
0x72(114) green
0x73(115) red
0x75(117) slider up
0x76(118) slider down
0xC2(194) camera
As you see, the center pad gives some weird code. Don't know why.
I hex'ed the codes into my WWPSave.dat.
But resuts are not exactly satifying.
Green and red buttons are not working.
But at least I managed to remap camera button to shoot, instead of jumping
I guess we just have to wait for a fix, playing at increased difficulty with no jumps.

Not that weird... It's just 0x0d (13)... Which happens to be the code for <Enter>.

ProzzaK, that's a start, could you share your WWPSave, at least i could fire

Play Worms!
The phonebuttons and the Centre-D Button don't work in the game
I use the slider buttons for Jump & Backflip and the camera button for Fire.
This works ok for me.
I've edited the dat file to make the slider buttons work in the game.
Just copy the attached WWPSave.dat to you Worms installation folder, overwriting the existing one and you're ready to rumble.
Cheers!

That's brillant, thanks a lot boogieman !!
Worms is the best game so far

You´re welcome and you´re right, Worms is a great game, but a network multiplayer mode would be nice.
Being overwelmed by the sleek look of the touch, I never realized that we´d run into problems with key assigment for games e.g. Worms.
I tried several programs to create virtual buttons and even reassigned de phone buttons and the slider button, with no success.
Luckily someone else (sorry forgot the name) on this forum informed us of an existing workaround to assign buttons in Worms by using a Hex editor on the savegame file.
Altough the instructions were not totally correct and our phone does have less assignable buttons, I managed to assign the slider button for Jump and Back-Flip.
Enjoy the game.

I want the game but cannot get a working version for wm6
anyone please email me with a 'solution' of the game please
[email protected]
Thank you very much

Yes multiplayer would be perfection !
By the way, if you don't know the game Cavemen, you really should try it, it's a Lemmings-like but better ! You can glide or jump and also the touch screen is matter. Pretty addictive game like Worms with thousands of levels

wow, you guys had to go thru all of that just for 1 game..
imagine what the iphone will be like? when people try to port games and get frustrated with it lol

Sure
http://www.lightworksgames.com/cavemen/

i cant open the option to edit the keys to use the slider using boogiemans saved file. it closes the game when i try to do this.

That's weird, i can, but it's not a problem at all because you don't need to open that menu, it's useless on the Touch, Boogieman's file is all that matters

i replaced the file but it still cant work. =(

Doom on my Kaiser!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ig2NIxeMqRE
this is one of my longer videos. hope you guys recognize the music, they were the songs used in doom (but these are the real versions).

So what are the names of the songs?
Metallica, yes?
BTW, Awesome! Makes me want to fire up doom so badly, think it will work on the titan?

That's quite fast considering the Driver's issue on the Kaiser, did you tweak the performance a bit?

and there i was thinking it was another "i hate my kaiser thread"
nice vid btw.

there are several doom1&2 ports as well as quake1-3 for pocketpc
these are pretty direct ports of the old pc versions which are only software rendered
so they dont benefit from a ati or nvidia based acc chip like
the on not working because of poor drivers on kaiser and other qcom devices
so it matters little

hi
great port, but any chance to let us know how did You managed to switch it to landscape mode??
br
bro
oh yeah.. btw: lmao tsadek I was thinking the same thing

hey man, looks really cool!
i don't know if i can ask this here, but where did you get this game?
greetings

i also wanted to ask this..can u PM me the link

try to search for "gamefreaks doom" on google
You will have to dig for shareware or whatever wad's by Yourself...
btw: mikeeey - I've seen Your quake vid on Youtube. again - can You let me know/post cfg on how did You landscaped it???
thanks
br
bro

Yes, metallica's in there.
the song's are listed at the end. Metalica, Black Sabbath, Slayer, and Panterta.
I did not need to peform any speed tweaks, gfDoom is fast already, i would have displayed the framerate but this blocks out other messages from being seen during the game. the framerate is at a minimum of 30fps. and it keeps going from 30 to 45 and back.
It took me forever just to even get this working right, In october when i very first got my kaiser this was one of the first apps i put on it, and i wasnt able able to get my on config, or use the keyboard. i would like to thank a member on this board for showing me how to configure my keys.
thanks danits!
i will post in a little bit about conifguring keys.
haha tsadek, i have not made a single "i hate my kaiser thread" im very happy with my kaiser, and optimistic i must add. i look forward to updated and drivers. of corse i do wish it could emulate things that previous phones could.

humm....
so any chance to let us know about that landscape mode?? pretty please??
br
bro

to toggle landscape mode you must go into options and select between low and high quality, it doesnt really toggle the quality, it toggles landscape or portrait.

thanks Mate
works great
can't wait for Your info bout key config
cheers
bro

ok so key config,
you need to edit one of the skins, the .txt file.
at the bottom you need to add each button. it would look like this:
VKHWBUTTON
after VKHWBUTTON you put which button (in code) so for example
VKHWBUTTON 190
now you need to tell it what the button does, so lets say, fire.
VKHWBUTTON 190 FIRE
that's 1 example, ive made it so the . button fires.
use this app to find out what each button's code is.
another example would be
VKHWBUTTON 13 OPEN
13 is space bar.
so VKHWBUTTON 13 OPEN makes it so spacebar is the open key.

You are the Greatest !!
will check it out when I'll finish building my feature wall to the kitchen...
thx again
br
bro

no problem, be sure to thank danits, hes the one that taught me.
nice wall btw, hope that works out for you and doesnt end in a terrible disaster causing the ceiling and housing to collapse lol.

Just a quick question does it matter which version I download? I see a MIPS, ARM, AND SH3 version? Is there a specific one I need?

arm
MIPS AND SH3 are old cpu types which were supported by windows CE pre pocketpc2000 i believe

okay thanks

Can it be played on a Touch?

ScummVM - Play the classics on your Xperia

Hi,
In case you, like me, love the classic games such as the Monkey Island series, Broken Sword 1 & 2, and more... then you are also probably aware of ScummVM and how it allows us to play these games on our computers today as well as handhelds.
Though ScummVM does not support the wvga resolution yet, i posted the info on how to get it to run properly (with the ability to use the keyboard - finally) over at my blog: http://xperiancer.blogspot.com/2008/12/scummvm-on-xperia.html
Best Regards.
Salman Khalid.

I tried it and it has potential, however, running it in 640x400 just plain sucks.
Running it fullscreen at 786x480 with 3x Interpolation would be a great gaming experience.
But dont mind me, I just hate black borders, especially when its totally unnecessarilly. (ofcourse i know wvga wasnt usual "back then")

I know exactly what you mean... i don't like the black area either. And if it hadn't been the damn addictive games playable on this, i wouldn't be using the software at all.
Here's to hoping that ScummVM guys can get us a WVGA version soon.

Stretched games don't look so good on widescreen displays, I think we need to stuck with 640x480 on these screens. Maybe the software keyboard could take up the place on the left or right side, so the black area disappears
Does the newest version support the X1's hardware keyboard?

@Norti
Like i said... once you make the app open to the side of they keyboard.. you can use the keyboard in any game possible. Even if the game uses no keys at all, i have set all shortcut keys on the keyboard (like pausing, saving, quitting, skipping, right-clicking, etc.)

Do the math, 786x480 IS the original aspect ratio (if my speedy calculations where correct). With the current version it uses only 640x400.
How it is now it just looks wrong, it just sits there in the left upper corner with borders on both the right side and below it.
btw, to rotate the screen, click the left monkey.

Attached is my ScummVM.ini file. Just put it in your ScummVM folder on your Xperia.

That works too... but is annoying - you have to do it everytime you start ScummVM and you have to click it in the right place ('cos the clicks are off when opened other way around).
Editing the INI file is an easy and quick way to set it the right way.

how did you actually map the hardware keyboard keys?
if I click on MAP (for the current action e.g. pause) and then press a key on the hardware keyboard it wont work.
the only button seeming to work is enter (for action).
can you give me a brief info on how to get the keys working?
thanks in advance

hi everyone!
i have some problem with the scumm vm on my new xperia.
i show you some pictures, that you maybe better understand what i mean
first of all, what is the difference between scummvm1 and 2?
http://img4.imageshack.us/i/p1000285i.jpg/
then, do you have the same small screen?
http://img190.imageshack.us/i/p1000288u.jpg/
other problem: the scumm-bar below, covers the letters (also of the items).
http://img3.imageshack.us/i/p1000289.jpg/
http://img3.imageshack.us/i/p1000287w.jpg/
and i can start scummvm just for one time, when i would like to start it again, an error shows up.
http://img3.imageshack.us/i/p1000290r.jpg/
(means that there's an error with scumm and ask me, if i want to send the problem to microsoft)
so what's wrong with my scumm?
hope someone can help me.
thanks very much!
ps: sorry for my english, try my best

Which version should i download, I downloaded the Windows Arm CE but i couldn't run the .exe from my xperia, am i even supposed to? if not can somebody instruct me how to install it plz

WARCRAFT 2 , Touch Pro 2, NON LAGGY, SMOOTH VERSION

Tried and tested.
EDIT: ARGH i just realised that i messed up somewhere in my upload, after menu it reverts to VGA with blackened places where it doesnt cover WVGA. still playable tho. gimme a while to solve it, i must have mixed some thing up some where
EDIT 2: fixed
I got several mails requesting for the WVGA version of Warcraft 2 as seen at http://heretical-rantings.blogspot.com/2008/04/free-games.html. Its simple really, all you need to do is edit the preference files and you got yourself WVGA.
I believe there are a few WVGA versions on XDA, and i tried them, and i've no idea what he did but damn that was laggy and choppy. rest assured this isnt the same file, and its smooth and perfectly playable. (take note WQVGA is probably possible as well, just download the QVGA version from my other link, and download these preference files, and edit the two preference files inside with notepad, pay attention to the resolution)
Download the WVGA version (fixed tilesets and everything, shud be perfectly fine now)
http://heretical-rantings.blogspot.com/2009/11/warcraft-2-wvga-version-totally-smooth.html
(u get better performance if u switch off the sounds)

pfffft solved the problem. i accidentally left out the tiles for 480X800. Will update within 24 hours with the files, gotta sleep now.

its done. please leave a comment if u have any problems or if it works fine for u.

Downloading

glad to know, both instant action and campaign works fine right?

I downloaded it from my computer and then extracted it onto my TP2 since it was not seeing it as a .rar file when I downloaded it directly from my TP2. I just ran it on Single player and works great Thanks for uploading War2.
I was just wondering if there was a certain method you guy's used to do the "Right click" where it directs the peon? For me to move them around I use the attack button haha. Also there's no way for us to build walls huh? I trapped a few peons while building stuff haha. Was just wondering, anyhow thanks again!

Played it.
Pretty fun. Runs smoothly. Crashed after I beat the first level, but that might just be due to memory usage.

It doesn't support hardware keyboard and lelt orientation (turns right landscape)!?
When clicking near the place of virtaul keyboard (hided by game), the HTC virtual keyborad binks with the game window...
I use the game on the WM6.5 FR HTC stock rom

what are the campaign and gzes rar files for?

Awesome!!!!
this is very cool!! it runs great on the Tmo Usa Tp2.

Hmm.. I was excited to see this and downloaded right away. It starts up fine but when I try to click on "Human campaign" it crashes. Any ideas?

does not support hardware keyboard. to save just overwrite one of the save files provided. save often and save twice in two different slots cuz sometimes it gets corrupted
@Jrun, no choice but to use the move and attack function. to avoid trapping units place your buildings carefully. this can be done by clicking on the building u wanna build, but duntap straight away on the screen. instead, drag your stylus and u'll see the outline to place your building.
@ed_bracam, no problems on my side with virtual keyboard. if u're starting the game from somewhere, where there was virtual keyboard, like in sms windows and u use some shortcut to start game, may happen.
to swicth left/right orientation, go to options and select "full screen". it'll switch orientation.
@perkins, i'm sorry but i and the others have no problems so it sounds like its your rom. check ram, and pagepool and redownload maybe your download is corrupted.
@hani, dun wrry bout them

Can't get it to work with custom rom, I get to the menu click on single, it load then crash. running off of my memory, do i have to run it ont he device?

the first time i ran it i witnessed some screen tearing.. but now, it works just fine. hope i dont witness screen tearing again.
thanks a lot Baronic!!

screen tearing? weird never saw that before. you're welcome

Any chance of a manual?

The best should be support of the keyboard because it's not easy to play with the stilus only (you cannot win in hard mission because you develop too slow). If I remember, WC2 has a lot of keyboard shortcuts to play fast.
