[Q]FPSE help - Xperia Play General

Hello ppl. While fpse forum seems quite innactive nowdays, i would like to ask for some help. My problem is that while i try to load some iso/bin games fpse stucks on sony black screen (sony letters on blue), just after the white sony entertainment screen with the orange diamond. The rest of the games that just doing fine bypass this sony intro, i mean there's no sony logo intro at all, they start straight from the game developer logos etc. Fpse settings are by default, any suggestions? I know many ppl have faced the same problem cause of the fpse forums, where no real answer was given bout that.

Check the game compatability list, cud be a game that just doesn't work, or your bin file is corrupt..most likely the first tho

Already did this, abe's exodus/oddworld, parasite eve & a couple more are on the list. As far as the corupted stuff, 3 different iso of each title, shows that the isos aren't the prob.

Ok what i have found is that this happens on every game that was previously compressed - ecm - (of course i decompress them to make em play). I've been looking if the cue files is the reason, but not much luck. Although the games that was d/led in a non ecm status, but in a BIN one and that doing fine, doesn't need a cue file at all.

I created an image of my copy of Oddworld and it works fine. I haven't got exodus or parasite eve to try.

hey man

I have an XDA Exec but quite a lot of my old games dont work with wm5. I was wondering what good games people use with this setup. Something to really show it off would be nice, pity Rayman doesnt work because it was nice to show off the gfx. Anyway, here is what I use:
Virtual Pool Mobile (A pool game!)
Bejeweled 2 (Puzzle game - aim to make rows of 3 same coloured jewels)
Microsoft Entertainment PocketPak (collection of small addictive puzzle games)
It would be nice to see what everyone else is playing on their Universals...

Good old Solitaire

As far as Rayman-type games are concerned, there are some new platform games that DO run on the Universal; for example, Gold Miner Joe and OpenJazz. You may want to check out my blog - on it, I've elaborated on all the new titles.
Sorry for going a little off topic.
I have AoE and used to play it on my old Ipaq H5550, i'm sure I saw it listed as WM5 compatible. But i've yet to finnish a game witout the my Universal locking up. Anyone else had any luck with this game :?:
Back on topic. :wink:
Apart from Bubble Breaker and Solitaire, I have the i-mate versions of Pool and Backgammon installed, both work great in single player mode.
Never tried the multiplayer option.

AoE requires quite a large amount of memory available before starting, and then during play, memory seems to be taken up by continual playing. Its locked on me too - but on the times when it hasnt and I have successfully exited AoE my available memory is greatly reduced, resulting in a soft reset to get it all back.
Cant remember if there is an autosave option - but would be invaluable if there was.
Matt
Thanks for the info Matt.
I did a soft reset before playing today.
It didn't lock up and I was killed pretty quickly, so all is back to normal :lol:

Just wondering how you find the device since upgrading!!

Playstation 1 emulator! (FPSEce 9.6)

I recently put the Sony Playstation emulator FPSEce 9.6 on my Cingular 8525 and it is way too cool! Curently I have Army Men 3D (full speed), Crash Bandicoot (kinda slow but playable), Tekken 1 (kinda slow but playable), Mega Man (near full speed), Gran Turismo 1 (kinda slow but playable), Driver 1 (kinda slow but playable), San Rush Extreme Racing (near full speed), Twisted Metal 4 (near full speed), and Ready 2 Rumble Boxing (kinda slow but playable) all playing on my phone! Guy's try it out, you won't find better pocket pc games than those of Playstation 1. Just own the games and a Playstation to make having the bios legal (Google on how to extract bios).
What I want out of this post is for everyone that uses FPSEce on this phone to list the games that they have found to be compatible with the tytn model phone running this emulator. I will update it as well when I find any new compatible games. Enjoy!
I use Metal Slug X Super Vehicle 001 full speed
mortal kombat 2 & Cool Boarders 3 runs a bit slower..
Is there a Site where i can find the Images?
Or do I have to rip everything by myselve?
As above, but legally speaking I would guess you need to own the originals!!!
What size files do these games produce when ripped and what software do you use?
Crash Bandicoot is my all time favorite game on the PS... you mentioned its slow, but playable... is it so slow that I might end up throwing my MDA across the room
To answer the first question, yes you do need to own the originals. I have a used game store that I visit that still sells used playstation 1 games. Most of them they let me have for $3 to $5 each. Pretty cheap pocket pc games if you ask me!
I use a program called "Magic Iso" to rip the games. Then I use a program called "Pocket Iso" to rip out the movies and shrink them. To get Magic Iso just go to (www.magiciso.com), I only use the trial version of this software. To get Pocket Iso go to (www.fpsece.net). I have been able to shrink a game down to between 39mb to 304mb. Some games will let you rip out all the movies and music where some will not. Kind of a trial and error thing.
Crash is like I said "playable" @ maybe 12 - 14 fps. There is a frame skip option on FPSEce that you can use that helps some. To some that frame rate might convince someone to throw their MDA across the room but there are other games that play at near full speed that you can always use. Still cool to see Crash on a PDA though! Hope all this helps!
Does it eat up a lot of battery life quickly when you play the games?
Not that I've noticed. The juice holds up very well! As a matter of fact I can't tell tell any difference between running this emulator and running a normal ppc application when it comes to battery life. Hope that helps!
Crazy thing, I experimented with a Gameboy Advance emulator yesterday for this phone and the Playstation 1 emulator not only has much better graphics but on average runs I'd say 10% faster! I was surprised that PocketGBA was so taxing! One advantage that PocketGBA had over FPSEce was that the roms are so much smaller. Anyhow, just thought I'd give you guy's a little more info on my findings.
I just found this (kind of slow, lol) but I was wondering how those running it were doing with performance?
I put it on my 8525 and downloaded the Spyro Demo (that was in the thread to download fpseCE) and it ran like... 13 fps. which is kind of unplayable.
Also, if I get a call/text/notification of any sort, or run it in anything other than portrait mode, I can't quit it and have to soft reset.
Any performance tips? Or any idea what my problem is with the buttons/options/inability to quit thing? lol
Thanks.
Hope this helps.
What version of fpsece are you using? I'm running the latest release of the emulator (fpsece 9.6). So, for starters get the latest release if you don't have it because I noticed ALOT more bugs in the older releases. Depending on how you map your buttons it should take care of if pulling up the other applications you mentioned. Me, I have my controls mapped to my keyboard and I run the emulator in landscape mode. Also, to assist in the speed issue, I run the emulator on a frameskip of 3 and that seems to work well for most games. Of course it's not going to play as good as it did on the PS1 but I think you will find alot of games to be more than playable. Just keep in mind that you are playing far superior games on your pocket pc with the PS1 games and it will need just a little patience to enjoy. Hope that helps!
Has anyone managed to get FFVII running nicely on this on a Hermes?
I get jerky sound and no FMV support, anyone managed to get it ok?
thanks, Forlornity
any answer?
Well I've solved that problem now: bad rip, but I still have a problem in landscape mode: I can't exit without using soft resetting! Has anyone got a workaround for this?
Nevermind, I've fixed that too, for those of you wondering: Just ensure that you assign a "menu" button before going into landscape mode and when you press that menu button, ensure your Hermes is closed (i.e. No keyboard visible)
NICE! how does Parasite EVE 2 run on this?
can it detect CD change?
I'm able to run Final Fantasy VII at nearly full speed on my WM6 Wizard. Of course I need to overclock a little so its smoother without any frame skip. I hate the frame skip on such a good game like FF7.
There are a couple glitches with the new 9.6 version but much better than the previous one I tried. Sometimes the Messenger and IE buttons instead of doing their PS equivalent it opens up messenger/IE. Also sometimes the title bar appears and it covers up the right side of the screen in landscape.
Has anyone able to tweak a little extra performance out of the emulator by glyph / font / file system tweaks? Or by increasing those buffers does it slow down the game because of the lesser amount of available RAM?
"Oh you got the iPhone ...whoopdie freakin do ...can it play PLAYSTATION games like mine can??? I don't think so... puahhhahahahhaa"
Can som1 confirm if the games are playable on a HTC touch?
Anyone try to run Castlevania: Symphony of the Night? If so, does it stand up to playing it on the PS1 at all? If it does, I'd like to know, as this game would definately be my reason to download the emulator!
problem with emulator
the emulator goes back to the starting menu screen when I try to load an iso. I have set the bios and mapped the buttons to the keyboard. I also turned the screen to landscape and turned framskip on. Does anyone else have this problem? Is this a bad rip or another problem? The iso I used works perfectly on my playstation.
The emulator would actually go to the about screen after I try to load an iso.
Can someone post exactly how they installed this onto their Hermes? I want to find out what I'm doing wrong!
Ive run this on the hermes and magician and both had the same problem with the button layouts. The games will run ok once you set them up but the controls are in wierd places so gameplay is hard if not impossible especially on some of the faster moving games.
And as for buttons on the screen, that would work great if it was multi point touch.

Hope its not a Rookie "?"

so i was wondering if i download ITunes n download some IPhone apps (games). could i get them to play on my 8125 there not muilty touch games or the tilt thing jusy basic good games... if u want to know it the Push Button game and the game called Catch the Mouse ??? can ne 1 help me ??? let me kno if its can b done ??? i just figured id ask b4 i spent all the time n mem on my compyuer downloadin itunes ??? make sense fellows ??? let me kno

No app of any kind made for the iPhone will run on Windows Mobile, nor will any Windows Mobile app run on the iPhone.
and theres nothing we can do ??? a copy of it that will play for us??? or a hack ??? theres gotta b somethign right? i mean we hacked all of the iphone themes push buttons the slide to unlock the pics the contacts we (not me) but its all been done n it took no time to have it. i dont use them all but i am a fan of the contacts n pics. but im a bigger fan of that silly mouse n push the button game n its such a B(&^# that we cant work it ,,,,, ne1 feel me on this ??
There are a lot of great games available for WinMo, and even some handheld console game emulators, for those who are never satisfied. I have over a dozen games on my phone, including many simple/basic games like yatzhee, uno, solitaire, video poker, hearts, and freecell, and many more interesting games like space trader, mah jhong, tetris, and adventure (text-based RPG like Zork).
When I need a serious game fix on the road, I run my Sega Genesis emulator, and play games like Afterburner, Battletech, Road Rash, Super Monaco GP, and Zombies Ate My Neighbors. Emulators really kill my battery though, so I usually play these while I'm on a charger.
Also, here's something Apple wishes you didn't know (but now you will):
You don't have to pay for any of these games (or in an act of dubious legality, download them with your friend's login). They are all available free and legally on the Internet. You need only to look for them.
On a separate note, what is the fascination with iPhone?
It's mostly claiming credit for doing things that we were doing on WinMo phones long before iPhone was even a tech blog rumor (downloading apps straight to the phone, touch-screen interfaces). It's made a few minor innovations (read: multi-touch) that everyone has latched onto as though they had reinvented the wheel. Ironically, the one thing the iPhone is worst at being is an actual phone.
The current batch of home-brewed ROMS for our Wizards are quite robust (some even include a nice batch of games...see CRACING's CR86 Touch HD in the Wizard Mobile 6 board). Many of them will remind you of the high-quality appearance that the iPhone first made a splash with, but now everyone (even LG....::Yawn:: ) is cloning...without resorting to being copycats.​

Thanks for the tip... on the other hand i love my 8125. i got Punch Out,Mario,Base Wars all the classics but im stuck on them 2 games that she has n i cant stop playin um when shes over. so i figured id ask

FPSEce now working at all on HD2 ! NOOB in need of HELP!

Typo: Meant Not in the title not "now".
Hello fellow smart phone users,
I am new to the deal, would be safe to assume I know nothing. This should be fun for some of you ^.^"
I've got the HD2/Leo from T-Mobile UK and currently on the 1.43.110.2 rom
I have the 3.5 .NET Framework thing installed as per the intructions on the tips thread here. God knows if that has to do with anything.
But the problem is, when I start the FPSEce 0.10, the loader thing starts alright, then when I click on on fpsece010.exe as instructed on Pdf, all I get is a black screen for 1 sec, then back to where ever I was, the app simply doesn't exists in the task manager. Tried uninstalling FPSEce and installing it into the device memory instead duno if that helps, but still no good.
Am I missing something here ? Was there something I should;ve done in the installation process ? Didn't find a video on youtube which is really a N00b guide, all of them assume it works first.
Anyone with the same problem ??
Your help will be greatly appreciated !!!
PEACE^^
The Post is sinking into te abyss with no replies ... Help !!!!!
my advice is to wait for newer versions of fpse as the current 0.10 is still unplayable in my opinion. the control functions have not yet been configured for proper use with the HD2 screen.
im not sure if .net 3.5 is required for fpse but have you configured your device (device policies) to use .net 3.5 in the .net configurator
before some one starts flaming! yes i have tried it and got games to work but the current controls its just to cumbersome to play in my opinion!
ignore due to repost

cheers for the reply,
But I have made the registry change so it uses 3.5 but no good ?
It simply won't start, any chance that it conflict with a specific app ?
Same problems and no answers
here same problem too
1. Do you have a PSX BIOS file in the BIOS folder?
2. Are you starting it from the FPSE icon in the start menu?
3. Do you have a PSX ISO ( game ) to load?
There is no reason to be clicking on fpsece010.exe since the Startmenu icon is handling this. With the correct BIOS installed you should see a request to select your ISO game file at startup.

The donation version works great with the HD2. Well worth the investment.
same here
i got supporter fpsece 0.10 version n still got same problem
if anyone needs bios files check the link below. I've been meaning to test this out so i got in touch with some of my old friends in the emulation scene and i have managed to obtain a quantity of of bios files of many different versions.
I knew all that time i spent playing mario, sonic and co on the pc as a teenager wouldn't be wasted.
I downloaded it and played around before doing the last T-Mo US update, but I could not get multi touch working at all. Until that works in the free version I will save my money. Otherwise it worked very well and I was pleased with the quality, but trying to race with only one button pressed at a time was not so fun

you need to use a bios rom (i am using SCPH1001). copy this file to /Programs/FpseCE/BIOS, then launch fpsece. when the loader shows up, tap "cancel", the program should start and you should see the playstation animation and hear the sound. if this worked, exit fpsece by long-pressing the [X].
then start fpsece again, choose your playstation image in the loader.
if you own the supporter version, you should use the hd2 optimized pack.

You need the supporter version for multitouch. I would highly recommend spending the few dollars it costs to get that if you have the hd2.... its well worth it. This is one of the best programs out there for gamers.... you have the entire playstation library in the palm of your hands. You can even get a psx iso with a nes emulator and every nes game and it plays pretty well with fpsece. The multi-touch controls make a huge difference. Also with the supporter version you get realtime saving and g-sensor support. Well worth the measly 5euros it costs.
strange one here but isnt against forum rules to upload the bios here seen as you're not supposed to be able to get hold of one even though a quick google and you can find it

3d mainly, games and something about spbshell3.5

my tp2 in the tmobile one unlocked so use orange and has an April 2010 version of athenos. are there any games 3d racing, fps, rts and other wise that suport the hardware keyboard and run well on this phone? i hate all the touch only nonsence trying to be an iphone. the difference between hermes and tytn2 with 2button press support was fantastic and if i can use the H/W keyboard it would make up for not having a dpad. I tried tony hawks 2 but runs upsidedown for me and about 5fps which is sad with little discernable difference after i renamed the dll in windows and moved the one in the th2 folder there.
im also gutted hardmarks scrabble doesnt work properly where the botton of the letter tiles is cut off.
finally is there opengl or 3d compatibility with the tp2? experience to date has been a little dissapointing and mobile shell 3.5 is a little laggy
thanks for any help you can throw my way
I've been disappointed by the amount of 3d games for our phones much less windows mobile .
Remember the phone is designed for business, but you can try an emulator. I use FPSEcE for PlayStation games. If you do enough reading on their forums you can get some good games running pretty well.
games
Well there are some fun games but not console type go on google and type
SuperMarioBros windows mobile
Xtracts windows mobile
Gears of War windows mobile
games
Ok there not much games right now for windows mobile but go to this website they have some freeware games made by independent developers like SuperMarioBrosHD , SuperMarioJump,Different pong versions, and Gears of War lite. Its located here
www.krenisiswinmobilegamesapps.com
thanks alot for the replies and the links. i found air hocky again something i had on the the tytn 2 but it never played great but it was playable but i was surprised to see it run slower on my tp2.
id love an accerlerometer controlled game like the ps3 game with ducks on a tray whatever it was called it was strangley addictive and great fun to have a try each when its cold n wet out side.
i also really want hankmark scrabble as it is the only properly playable version out there it allows you to move tiles arround freely, look up words the lot all other versions fall way behind but the tiles dont display in their entirety so you cant see what letters you have! such a shame. anyone know a work arround? wvgafix doesnt work just makes it worse.
finally tonyhawks. how DO i flip the screen the other way?

I am in the same shoe as you! I had handmark's scrabble on my old I-Mate JAMin, but when I upgraded to Touch Pro 2 the CD wont install at all. So I bought a new Scrabble off Amazon and that wont work either. It needs "Palm Software" before it can install on my device. Handmark suggested I use a desktop running the XP but that did not work either. Handmark is essentially dancing around the issue of continued support for their Scrabble Software. When I asked them about the Scrabble being sold through 'Handango-in-Hand, they did not respond on that. If anybody here know how to make it work, please come to our aid.
