Tomb Raider on the Niki

Has anyone else tried it? Ive been playing it recently and the graphics get a little choppy when you touch the screen, but its very playable. Ive not worked out how to draw my gun yet though, it seems the button configuration isnt pliable with the niki as far as im aware.
Does anyone know how to draw the gun?
that's due to lack of drivers. a fix will be released in March and it should improve the dual's response
i cant draw my gun because there is no button assigned to it on the niki
Have you tried pressing the keypad buttons?
How do you even install a game on your Niki? Cuz i've kinda been wondering if Red Alert ( <3 !!!!!) would run on my Niki, but i haven't got a clue on how to install it...

yeah, the keypad doesnt seem to do it either.
I had the same issues; game is almost unplayable. The Niki doesn't have all the keys, and the game response when you touch the on screen controls is .... terrible.
mines alright when you touch the screen.
it goes a bit pixely but its playable.. its the best ported game for a ppc ive seen. i just need to somehow assign a button to draw my guns.
it should be great when htc release the graphics drivers.

not if the device is locked.
What you see here looks like the MAME Emulator for PPC.
It splits the screen in 3 parts which are used as the Buttons.
What takes me wonder ist that it also looks like that he is using the jog wheel als joystick.
Does anyone konw how this can be done?
No this is FinalBurn.
In this emulator you can emulate the fire buttons on the touchscreen.
It can be found here:

looks awesome ill have to get my hands on it when i get home
And that's not Street Fighter but Art of Fighting. ^^'

Ok looks good but the dpad is not good enough to play.
Does anyone know if it is possible to use the Jog Wheel?

Please upload right here if u manage to find this game.
Thanks !!!
FinalBurn does indeed emulate CPS1, CPS2 and CPS3 games (including Street Fighter Alpha 3).
However there are several problems:
1. Low FPS during match (other games like XMENVSSTREETFIGHTER are better)
2. Jerky UNPLAYABLE performance with Sound ON.
3. Keyboard can't be mapped
4. Controls mapping issue
The degree to which FPS is impacted is dependant on the game.
This is my experience with the HTC Touch Pro.
I think we need a more optimised FinalBurn version.
Another problem is that the processor has to process 4 times more info for the VGA screen so it will probably work better in QVGA devices.
Unfortunately I've not found a way to adjust in game resolution.
This MAME emulator certainly has potential!

Is Keyboard mapping in Morphgear etc. normal ? Or abnormal like on the Raphael ?

Is Keyboard mapping normal ? Or abnormal like on the Raphael ?
(When mapping keys in Emulators like Picodrive, SNes, Morphgear etc.)
Can someone with a X1 test it ?
Thx alot !!!
No one here with a X1 to test it ?
Haven't tried it with Morphgear yet but it works ok with Fpsece and some games i've tested (Duke Nukem 3d, Quake 3, Call of Duty 2) so it shoudn't be any problems.
Sounds nice ! Thx for your reply !

I currently have a Touch Pro, and I'm seriously considering moving to the xperia... How do quake 3/ Duke Nukem etc play on the experia? Good framerates/playable? Any sound problems?
I'm using HTC touch pro.
The keyboard wasnt useable, but with an addon "K for raphael" important keys (like left/right/up/down,a,s,x,z,-,=,backspace,shift) are covered.
The only problem I'm having atm is that when I enable sound the games become laggy (sound aswell) but when i disable it the games run smooth as hell!
Anyone else here with a HTC TP that had sound issues and fixed them? I tried lower bitrate, all the availb sound options but nothing seemed to work
Sorry for bumping this old thread, but is the Xperia keyboard good for doing things like moving up/down, right/left in Sega games? Or are the small buttons not really suited for this?
I been kicking ass in TMNT lost in time snes on morphgear, keys are great for it

TouchHD and games

Hi,
I've got a question for TouchHD owners, I m use to use my touch (elf) to play game such as Tetris to waste time in the airport/train. I would like to buy a touch HD but given there is not button, it is possible to play this kind of games?
thanks.

No , you can't. On HD can't play games that need buttons for game play ...
I hope that optimized games for a such big and touch screen will be developed
Maybe a software D-Pad, so the games would run at 640x480 with a touch d-pad...
I'd kill for a good screen overlay that blocks input to the game and provides overlay hardware buttons. would be great if you can activate it once you start a game and need no more menus.
the psx emulator uses a similar method, ingame you get a screen overlay so you can do without any buttons. brilliant. that's why my Diamond was very adept at playing games as long as they were PS1 games, and im sure the HD is no exception.

yes, I've seen several emulators running on iphone using that method

The iphone psx emulator is quite the same as the one that winmo has (and had before iphone did, years before actually) and it has great features.
Something like that should be made as a separate program.
But problem: you need some way of placing a program layer (the invisible button layer) on top of an otherwise functional other full screen program -> not really possible in any stable or practical way... or so it seems.
Anyone?
Or, I am gonna get me this:
http://www.tang-shop.com/bluetooth-game-pad-bgp-100.html
HELL yeah
can anybody confirm this is compatible with the HD?
I'm guessing so.
Is there someone who has tested the games for the Blackstone?
You can get a list of games that work on Blackstone?
Thank you
we should start a separate thread like the apps thread... games are a whole different kind of app so it would make sense to make such a thread, or merge with the apps thread after all?? mods??
It would be hard to play with soft keypads..
Since HD doesn't support multi touch, if the game needs you to press 2+ keys at the same time it just won't work.
This Warcraft 2 - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=422606 - works with the WVGA fix, all we need now is for someone to figure out how to edit the pocketpc.lua so that one of the volume keys works as right click.

I was thinking of making one of the volume buttons to be the button that's the right click, but can't find which one it's supposed to be.

Damn. Would have been a nice option. I also found some threads about making regular controllers work, but can't find any post of somebody getting it to work... Are there any other options than the clip-on controller?
Why we don't use the Gsensonsor for navigation? Gcontroller is a good app that do the trick. If there is something more accurate.

MorphGear. SNES and GBA in full speed possible?

I really want a phone that can play emulators in full speed so would be rly nice if any1 can tell if they have been able to play snes or gba in full speed with full screen and with sound?
thnx.

I tried yesterday plaing snes (knight of the round) and it works very nice but ive got no sound and its just a bit leggy but I think its accaptable (maybe 22 fps)... I didnt try to get it in fullscreen, but i coulndt get it working in landscape mode...
GBA files work really nice, guess they are even with sound. Fullspeed? Yes!
hey man,
I have had my x1 since jan this year and with roms getting better/faster and with people making tweaks (gfxboost etc) yes...morphgear is very playable.
To be honest tho, I dont put it fullscreen...i make it "actual size" which keeps it 4:3 and also turn on sound. NES/GBA games are full speed...I have noticed some snes games are kinda sluggish still (better with sound off).
I read on another part of the forum somebody is making a new snes emulator and its been getting good reviews so far!
oh, ye, found something about the new emulator you were speaking of
SnesGo:
http://sites.google.com/site/snesgo/
any1 tried it on the xperia?
are You sure guys that You are talking about gba and not gb/gbc ?? if yes, then is it possible to play on this morphgear in landscape mode with keyboard open?
gba is not fullspeed on morphgear. its laggy, but playable. Sound doesnt work with gba roms in morphgear.
fullscreen is still playable. 4:3 ratio (actual size) is a bit better.
The problem is, that this emulators were made when phones were slow. They dont emulate Roms like an emulator on PC does. If you want a fast Emulator (GBA) on X1 someone needs to make a new emulator desigend for fast phones.
Maybe a solution but I havent tried it:
Install pocketDOS and run the No$GBA dos version. maybe it works. dont know ...

Tried on X1. Can't get it to run roms. Just goes into the splash screen after loading up a rom and hangs there. Exactly same thing happens with pocketSNES which this emulator is based on.
Finally! Just got morphgear running perfectly with Chrono Trigger on X1 And with a amazingly cool virtual pad.

Yippee!
Good topic, I was thinking about a good SNES emulator yesterday: "I wonder if there's a good SNES emulator for Winmo..."
Well, it works pretty good on my X1 and I'm happily playing Frontmission (one of my favorite mecha game-series) while commuting. the only thing I didn't get working yet was sound, but I'm thinking I should fiddle around with the settings a little. I really like that the emulator lets you rotate and auto-scale the graphics so that I can comfortably use my X1 sideways for a bit more screen-estate.

Are you talking about SnesGo or Morphgear?
I'm using Morphgear.
Nice. The below comment conversation is from SnesGo dev blog. So we should be waiting for a X1 compatible version in a few weeks. Hope it will work out

hey, Im running this on a SE X1. When I choose rom the emulator goes to the the SnesGo splash screen and does nothing.
I tried changing to VGA and then running snesgo, but the problem remained. Roms that I tried was Super mario world, punch out and zelda. They are all in zip format.
I tried to look for a FAQ or instructions but couldnt find anything. Maybe I missed something here, lemme know, I'll be glad to help you with testing.

Thanks for reporting this. I've added a FAQ page at project site.
VGA/WVGA devices shall be supported by next release, in 2-3 weeks
