Emulation softwares you have been successful with

I'm planning on getting the wizard very soon and i was wondering which emulation software you guys have been successful with. i understand that snes is abit sketchy, but has anyone tried the psx FPSEce program? I was looking at the videos and i was pretty impressed, but the only thing was that the program was being runned on hp's ipaq series with 400+mhz. how was this thing par up with the measley 200mhz? has anyone tried it?
i'm pretty hyped.. btw hermes isn't coming for a while so i don't htink i can hold out seeing that i need to switch out of carriers very soon.

Mario on a Phone...
I have been using Pocket Nester...it runs old NES Roms...I have loved it...Finally Mario 1, 2 & 3 on my phone where they were meant

I've been trying to get FPSEce to run FF7 on my wizard, but haven't had much luck yet. I think it's a problem with my rom (making my own from my playstation discs, so I probably botched it somewhere...) I'm going to keep trying though.. I'm worried about the speed issues too.. not sure how well it will work since it seems everyone else is using axims and ipaqs.. haven't read any reports of people doing it on their HTC devices...

FPSEce most likely won't run well at all on the Wizard. I run it on a Universal and it still has major slow downs at times, and only does a semi-decent job in general.

I've also been using PocketNester and also PocketGnuboy, both of which seem pretty fast and stable as well as free!
Also tried PocketUAE last night just for the hell of it, actually worked first time with a 1.3 rom and happily loaded up the first game I found (1st Div Manager). Too slow to be playable (especially in the match part) so no SWOS soon I'm afraid but did remind me of those happy bygone days! Really ought to dig out my A4000 again (or my CD32, A1200 or even my A500!)

I don't want to hijack the thread, but is anyone else having trouble with not getting sound from PocketNester or PocketNES? Neither one has sounds out of all the ROMs I try.

ive run ff7 on my wizard but performance isnt too great...the fmv's **** everything up so i have to re do the iso and maybe relink the fmv's

really, thats pretty impressive, i would think the measley 200 mhz processor isn't enough to even have a start screen. =\ do you guys think the hermes will be able to accomplish task?

ANY GOOD PS1 Emulators??????

If you didn't know already, im a pro gamer.
And i usually get sent out to Los Angeles to film some Footage for Directv.
And sometimes, i get to play live.
I usually end up play Classics, like Tekken 3 for the Ps1
And i have tekken 3 for pc and Ps1...
But i was wondering, if i could put it on my Mobile Windows?
So that i can play in the airplain, or just to keep my skills sharp.
I know the possessor of my Hermes is strong enough (400Mhz)
Let me know if theres any Emulators that let me play ISO.
Thanks

Emulation isn't all that easy.
Also, why don't you already own a PSP for this purpose? PSX ISOs work decently.

Of course i had a psp... But its not my thing..
The psp is a load of trash.

You can try FPSece

i have not tested this personally as my device is too weak for it.. just heard this thing works pretty well.. http://www.fpsece.net/index.html

EDIT I donwloads FPSECE, an then i put the iso and the program on my WM.
Now, when i load it... It just brings me backk to the Original Menu screen.
Any ideas?
-thanks

this is a bug
dont start it over the icon, run it over the .exe or just wait for v1.0

400mhz with version 0.95/0.96b will be slow..
but the new version will run way better and is coming out soon

this isn't the place for questions.

psx4droid is in the market came out today.

oh snap it is out! bought it right away! lets see if we can get a list of games that work now

Can anyone please investigate whether Silent Hill works? If yes, I'm going to buy the emulator right this minute.

Silent Hill? Of all games you want to replay Silent Hill? That game was too damn scary for me back than and I was maybe 16 or 17.
A friend of mine recently gave me his busted xbox 360 and it came with a few games as well as Silent Hill: Homecoming. I thought I could handle it now. Nope, I was wrong. I turned out all the lights and played on my 56in with 5.1 sound system in the living room. It was too damn scary for me again. I heard every little noise in front and behind me. 10 minutes into it I took it out and was done with that evil ass game.

that's the first game i tried .
and sadly, its hardly playable.. there is a white box that appears around the characters and sometimes they just disappear in the mist..
i'll upload a screencap and a list of games i have tried..
btw.. pm me if anyone has trouble finding a good site for the roms (although google still is your best friend for that )
edit: Screencaps added.
well, now that i tried it again.. the game isn't too unplayable.. I'll try finding a ripped rom.. maybe that works better.

Can someone see if metal gear solid works?
Sent from my Nexus One

ugh guys i ran into an issue i forgot about. if youre using the on screen keyboard, the nexus one multitouch screen is the issue. i was playing RE1 and i forgot that i had to hold the R+L button to use the weapon n sadly, we cant do that on our devices
**EDIT: FF7 seems to work fine. FF8 works fine except for the video at the very beginning of the game. i will test out MG Solid later on in the day**

Hahaha, that's the point. The sound of static was never the same afterward. I love love love this series (at least, up to SH3). It's probably going to be a lot less scary on a 3.7 in screen anyway.

DONT JUDGE ME!!!!......but Rugrats Search for Reptar works fine lol i was searching through roms and i saw this and loved it as a child so i wanted to give it a try for the hell of it n it brought back a lot of memories

Downloaded Tomba to try. Graphics were glitchy and it ran extremely slow. Gonna search for some more ROMs

RE runs good but the multitouch screen issue is a problem. if youre using a bluetooth control then it should work fine

Where did you get RE from tho? and what is everyone setting their fps to? default or something else?

Sry Marvel vs Capcom Clash of the Super Heroes!

Yea.
Also, that game isn't running full speed and the video shows it pretty clearly. It really stood out when you were jabbing with Ryu, but then the jumps and the like were slow-mo compared to what they should be. Also, you were throwing out medium fireballs, and
I don't doubt that your phone is runing at 50 fps, but that app isn't running that game at it's proper refresh rate.
And I'm sorry. Don't take it personal. I'm just a fighting game NUT, and play this game pretty regularly, so it's hard not to be nitpicky.
Here's hoping it gets there... and here's double hoping that someone decides to make a dreamcast emulator!

I'm running CPS2HD with Wii mote and game works perfect

That little essay you typed out was complete bull****. The game runs perfectly. The tabbing thing is because I wasn't doing the move correctly also I'm not even sure if multi-touch works or not.
Well it is being rendered at 50 FPS. Anything after that is beyond my control.
In other words, the game is running great, and when I get my wii mote to play it, it will run well.

So... it running in slow mo is perfect?
... gotcha.
And the jab had nothing to do with you inputting it wrong. I didn't say input lag, I was talking about the animations on the screen. In that game, most jabs are between 2-4 frames, and in your video, even from eye sight it's beyond that. If you've ever even played these games before, you'd know that their arms don't just stick out for a few frames on jab. They go right back. That's why they're JABS and not medium or fierce strikes.
Anyways, game was slow. From reading the reviews, the application itself has quite a bit of work to do in general, making it especially weird that you're acting "butt hurt" over the game not running correct.
Glad you're enjoying the app., but I'm chiming in because the game obviously isn't running perfectly as stated, and it's a paid app., so false statements on it could potentially waste people's money.
But anyways yea... ummmmmm... I've said what I have to say, so, I'm just going to ignore your next troll post calling it bull****.

Sweet that they got the PS emu out finally, now they just need to get it to work with a ps3 controller and we are set.
btw, just because it tries for 50fps does not mean it is going to get it. If you watch the vid frame by frame you may be able to see if the fps drops below 15 or so

How do i specify the BIOS file in the settings?

Hi, Can someone point me (PM) to instructions on how to convert the DL from one of the popular ROM sites to the proper format for this program to work? Rom nubeus over here..

Download 7 zip, install
Extract the file you downloaded from popular rom site
You get a .bin.ecm file
then download ecm100
extract it
click the .bin.ecm file
drag it over unecm in the ecm100 folder
you get a .bin file
rename, play

ive paid for this app in the market but i still cant get it to download successfully... google has locked up the app for some reason, the dev has his email setup to auto-respond saying that he's working on it

[Q] MOJO mod questions

Okay, saw this can be rooted now.
So my questions, desire for advice, are....
1) Would there be a benefit of installing a custom rom?
2) Will installing a custom rom erase necessary programs that will allow the controller to successfully map to the games I want to play?
3) I'm really only get this because I want to use a good PSX emulator that can use the chip's power to use the shaders and give the games a good HD makeover. This should be more than possible with something like this, right? Basically I'm creating a super PSX device + some N64 emulator. My hope is that I can play this games on 1080p on my television, using either the controller that comes with it, or at least my PS3 controller.
4) Would using apps that overclock this device help game performance?
Should I wait to root this when the official MOJO kitkat android update comes out or does it matter?
Thanks for all your advice!

1) Would there be a benefit of installing a custom rom?
For psx emulation, I doubt it.
2) Will installing a custom rom erase necessary programs that will allow the controller to successfully map to the games I want to play?
Again, not really the controller is easy to map as is (at least with the ouya's emulators)
3) I'm really only get this because I want to use a good PSX emulator that can use the chip's power to use the shaders and give the games a good HD makeover.

What you want can be done on the MOJO, just depends on the games.
I haven't tried PSX emulation, but N64 is pushing it- playable but very laggy at least with mupen64plus AE.

I can confirm NES.emu, SuperGNES, GBC.emu, GBA.emu, DraStic, FPSE, NEO.emu, MD.emu, PCE.emu, SAT.emu, PPSSPP, and SuperN64 (A branch of Mupen64).
All work flawlessly except PPSSPP (doesn't support the D-PAD at the moment, and sound is laggy). Also, DraStic is really wonky because it models the DS touchscreen....Works with a mouse, but that feels strange to use the controller and a mouse....Then again, it's sort of like using a Wii. Heh..

The mojo's controller is better, the PS3 controller will have to be wired in I think.
The R1/R2 might be only digital and not analog depends on the emulator detection of R1/R2.
4) Would using apps that overclock this device help game performance?
Yes it would, but not sure how playable the games would be.
Should I wait to root this when the official MOJO kitkat android update comes out or does it matter?
It's nice that it can be rooted, but I don't really need it, I'm fine waiting for kitkat, but if you want to overclock then you'll need to root it.
I'll be installing FPSE and SuperN64 soon, I'll let you know how I go :fingers-crossed:

Yes, please do!
One last question. You mentioned that the N64 emulator isn't running well on this. Isn't there one on the Ouya??? I could only imagine that on that one, using the much lesser chip (the tegra 3) it would run like crap, if at all.
Im I missing something? Or is this an accurate observation?

SuperN64 is decent, but there really isn't a good N64 emulator at this time. They're all built from the exact same code, just changed the names, really. When one updates, they all seem to update within a few days. My judgement that SuperN64 is flawless has gone out the window because it cannot run Conker at decent speed....One of my all-time favorite games. I still like it, though. From what I've read, I think N64oid is probably a bit less laggy.
Also, I've not tried with it yet (I don't have a cable to root, so I cannot install the mapping software), but the PS3 controller is compatible without needing the cable. It connects with BT, just as it does on tablets or phones.

I don't have an ouya but if you youtube ouya's N64 videos you'll see.
The mojo's is playable, overclocking would help but not sure by how much.
I'll do a youtube video of N64 and PSX on mojo
@ExtremeRyno, I'll try Conker tonight using my mupen64plus AE see what FPS I get

How soon until MOJO gets an update and KitKat?
Any idea if this is coming soon?
Any idea on what the update will fix in terms of bugs, etc?

@ExtremeRyno, I tryied Conker using my mupen64plus AE, at 300% it's laggy but not too bad, the sound is messed up tho.
Pretty crappy you have to sit through the intro lol
Anyway I have my settings there so you can see it.
 @Pleiades7, I also did some other random games too

I'll try again next week and I'll install the other N64 emulators, but I'm pretty happy with mupen.

Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think it's possible to make PSX games look or perform any better than they did on the original playstation hardware. Emulators are made to best mirror the hardware the games were originally intended to run on. I think that's why some roms wont work or have trouble playing on any emulator for that reason. Sure your playing the games on a 1080p TV through the MOJO, but that doesn't automatically convert the games themselves to HD quality.

I get that. But those games blown up on a big 1080p look pixelated and really show their age anyways.
BUT an emulator like FPse includes OpenGL plugins that redraw the textures and graphics in a way I don't fully understand but transform those games. Just try Twisted Metal 2 on your PS3. Then open up a emulator on your MOJO and play the same game in FPse but turn on the high res open gl plugin. Not only will you feel the difference, but you will swear you are playing a different game. No where was that more apparent than in the Resident Evil Games. Pixelated zombies which might have been novel long ago feel dated now. But those filters on FPse and PCSXreloaded , etc., redraw the monsters in a way that is now thematically coherent and gives the games a fresh coat of paint they always deserved, especially fun considering you couldn't play those games in HD back in the day.
In any case, that's what fun about these things for me. The chance to preserve great games in all their glory and then some.

I haven't messed around with Fpse that much to realize it can use OpenGL. That's pretty cool, kinda anxious to try it out now

I've got shaders enabled, and it runs just swell. Crash Bandicoot looks great, and games like Wipeout still run at 100%.

I will check that out this evening. Thanks for the tip.

Just wondering if anyone has tried to install a custom recovery and do a nandroid backup. I didn't know how different this device differs from a phones software.

I don't know, if someone of the developers knows a working way to flash a working custom recovery.
As you can see in the way how the root method works, there seems no other way to get out of bootloader/fastboot mode, as to unplug the USB and power cable.
That means, you can't be simple do "fastboot boot xxx.img" and boot a temporarily kernel or recovery.
I have tried it with some of the kernel/recovery images from Nvidia Shield, but after loading the image, it stucks in bootloader.
