MAME

Has anyone got MAME(arcade emulator) working on xda II?
Cheers.

Nope..
Tried MegaCE 3 9.5 .. Gets stuck with a blank screen..
:-(
Not tried any of the others.

not MAME,or xdaII But nintendo entertainment system on xda
I use PocketNester an have 100 NES Roms on sd card, works perfectly

You have to use the hardware buttons at the top of the XDA 2 with PocketNester though, right?

yea, i use the calender 4 a and the volume 4 b, it gets sum gettin use to
it be better if u can landscape it, but i tried 2 diffrent lanscaping progs, an they didnt work, or made it worse

Try PocketGB. You can play GBA NES and Gamegear games and use any hardware buttons.

I'm running an XDA-I and can't seem to get the buttons mapped appropriately. Any hints for this?

I just like using the full screen skin for pocket nester and map the B button to the volume control down button. That way, you can run and jump at the same time (in Mario for example). What I'm trying to look for are those 3D stickers made out of epoxy and putting them on an overlay over the onscreen buttons - that way it will be easier on the thumbs.

HELP
I'm using pocketnes on the XDA and it is awful. All of the games are really choppy and not worth playing. Where can I find all of these great emulators you guys are talking about. Thanks.

I had installed iMAME and MAMECE and both of them worked on the MDAII.
iMAME is faster and better sound but limited roms, MAMECE is a bit slower, more games and bad sound.
but I lost the installation during a memory card installation

Working Games and game related questions...please post here

I dont normally play games on me mobile but things have changed since I got my SPV3100 and now my Ameo!
Was thinking we could start a list with useful links of games that actually work on the ameo.
Ive managed to find a classic, wolfenstein 3d, its a complete port and it runs really well!
I was wondering tho if anyone can get Quake or Doom working. (found hpc doom but it crashes at the very start, looks like it would work but doesnt)
What games do you guys have working on your Athena?

Got Doom Working! Its Great!
Managed to get doom working fine.
Heres where you need to go to download the program, it runs in Portrait at the moment but works smoothly nonetheless.
http://home.freeuk.com/gamefreaks/pql/gfDoom.htm
Keys:
Joystick - Directional Control
Tap at the bottom half of the screen / Comm Manager Button - Fire
If you want to exit, click the X in the top right, then Press the camera button. Once in the main menu, move down to exit game and then press the camera button again.
You need to have the DOOM1.wad file (read the readme file that comes with the program from explainations)
Very nice!
Have fun!

My personal favourites are
SPB Brain Evolution (although it infuriates me!)
SPB Air Islands (the game sucks, but it has some cool minigames and it's VGA!)

ScummVM is a must! Its free, you just have to get the game files. There are even some free games.
Favourites of mine, Sam 7 Max, Simon the Sourcerer, Day of the Tentacle
It works, but you have problems starting it up. Start with the pda in portrait mode, and fumble your way around to the options menu to get to graphics settings and turn on the 2x doubling. Once thats done it works fine from then on.

Megadrive Emulator
Managed to get PicoDrive working altho all the keys are messed up because of the screen orientation, it seems to get the joystick confused, and makes UP left and DOWN right for some reason, still looks good on the Ameo tho!
Keep em coming!
Thanks for the games so far

Gotta agree with you on Spb Brain Evo ..simply the nuts. I also like the 'Real Dice' ensemble of games like;
Real Dice Mahjong
Real Dice Dominos
Real Dice Sudoku Master II......all are in high quality genuine VGA. They look and play really well.

Open Transport Tycoon Deluxe (2.0 beta) works perfectly (just remember to set the phone to portrait view before starting). Now with the "original" music sounds!

SIM Coupe (SAM Coupe emulator) works okay if you start in Portrait mode with only the "keyboard" menu being present as a glitch. (I thought I'd posted about Pocket Commodore Plus/4, too, which works but is PAINFULLY slow sometimes).

For bought games, Broken Sword (Astraware) demo looks very very promising indeed; it rotated the screen correctly and looks very pretty, and appears to be playing at the correct speed.

Hi
This is my first post so hope im doing this ok.
I am thinking of getting one of there phones as a friend has one.
I currently have a hermes and all is ok, the problem is that the athena is lacking in buttons on the front that are needed to play games, like "fire" in worms for example.
none of the keyboard buttons seem to work.
Is there a way round this?
thanks
Sean.

I have the same trouble, Worms in X7500 only admit two buttons and the game requires three buttons to work correctly.
Can someboy modify the wwpsave.dat as somebody did for the HTC Touch to make the x7500 buttons workable for this game???
Thank you.

Diamond Emulator games

Hey, I found a link here on xda to a youtube video showing a game(Art of Fighting), and I wanna know if it really just a ROM emulator is, or is it game you install on your phone?
The user is 520darky on youtube, and he's got a few other games aswell.
If someone can reply to my question, can they please tell me where to get the games, either emulated ROM or Cab files.
Thanks in advance.
Cheers,
scruffy_joe

Morphgear or FPSECE. Do a google/xda search!

actually, for running art of fighting the emulator you need is Final Burn, it runs neo-geo games, CPS1 and CPS2, you can find roms in here http://romhustler.net. All games I've tried run pretty smooth ( super street fighter 2 turbo, marvel Vs. Capcom, art of fighting, street fighter alpha 2, etc )

any 1 got this working
managed to get the game started, credits loaded, and started a fight
but when i try to assign the keys it just doesnt work
i can assign 3 of the dpad keys but one always goes to home
also the on screen buttons, do not work as the game automatically pauses and goes into portrait mode
is there any easy was of disabling this so i can use finalburn, as graphics are quality

Yeah it works great for me, go into options and make sure enable screen keypad is ticked and use mode 1 (fire buttons) - then when you start a game pause it and go to Options-Keys- and re=map the buttons....i've got my back button (0x5C) mapped to coin and the centre button as start (0x8E) and everything works fine.

im using finalburn and havent managed to get either of super street fighter 2 turbo, marvel Vs. Capcom, art of fighting, street fighter alpha 2 to work - managed to get cps1 roms to work but not neogeo. iv got the neogeo.zip (bios) in the roms directory but still no luck. maybe im using an incompatible rom.
can anyone email me or pm me a link to a working rom?

I have mapped the keys and made sure the screen buttons are on
still my game pauses wen i press anywhere on the screen and i can not map the home key, all other keys i can map
but i only have 6 i can map??
is this anything to do with the cooked rom i am running maybe, swift

Hi dudes i find a good instructions for emu http://www.pocketpcmag.com/cms/index.php?q=blogs/3/1928
cheers

yeah that the guide i used to set ip up
but still no joy
i think it must be the swift rom
anyone got this working o this rom

Quake 3 CE on htc hd

I have found this post :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=433595
It works on htc diamond so is it possible to make it work on htc hd ?
When I start quake I have this message :
'q3ce' is not a valid Pocket PC application.
help please

Hmm... and if you sucess...
How are you gonna control without a D-Pad ?

maybe we will control with G pad ...

Exactly...
Just assign the D-PAD to the G-Sensor. Should work nicely.

What's about the WVGAFix + D-Pad Project.... I hope it's not dead

yes, it should be nice
I hope that someone will find the solution to work on hd

Whats this DPAD / GPAD ? I want to play Age of Empires and it runs except needs a control pad!

First hit after searching for G-Pad

I did not find any application that works to use a pad with G sensor
to play Age of Empires, you can use the minimap, it is a bit boring but it is playable
Nobody has a solution for quake 3 ?

Will a bluetooth keyboard work?

yes I think but it should first be able to launch quake 3 on htc hd

Well, the game boots on my Touch HD just fine.
Allows me to configure parameters, choose player (it displays the 3D models correctly), and everything seems smooth.
When I try to start the first level, it loads it up and immediately dumps me back to the opening screen, without any error message. It did the same both with GL Extensions enabled and disabled in the options screen.
That's as far as I got.

where do you download quake 3 ?
how do you install it ?
can you add q3ce.exe to this post please ?

seconded......

I managed to run Quake 3 CE on htc hd
it runs with 7 FPS
the max I could have is 12 FPS

with or without d3d drivers?

I have tried with and without d3d drivers
I think it is the same
but I have followed this thread :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=460006
and it really is faster and more responsive not in quake 3, a little in quake 3 but especially in general

I can run Q3 but about 5fps what aint good. Pity it would rock in multiplayer !
But out of ten roms tested recently, not many loaded it up at all. Present rom works.
Phoenix that is pretty good. In my case my hardware holds me back.

Dosbox Turbo - Mapping Triggers and Thumbsticks

Hi all,
This thread probably won't get much traction, but I'm pretty sure the developer for DosTurbo isn't very active anymore.
There are really two separate issues here:
1) The analog triggers are not mappable. The in-app mapper does not register them at all. I dug around quite a bit on this, and if I'm not mistaken, DosBox Turbo is really just an android port of Dosbox with some added features. Dosbox itself has it OWN mapper. Has anyone had success getting the triggers to work?
2) The thumbsticks. Now I don't know why the developer restricted the mapping here, but here are the options:
a) map a thumbstick to keyboard keys (like up, down, left, right)
b) map one thumbstick to mouse control, the other to "joystick"
You can only pick either a or b. No combination of both allowed. The problem with this is that I want one thumbstick to map to up, down, left, right and the other to map to the mouse control. You'd think (b) would work, but games without joystick support do not recognize the "joystick" so I'm stuck using the d-pad if I want mouse control on the thumbstick.
FYI, I'm trying to setup the controls of a modern shooter with Duke Nukem 3D. I am very close. The dpad control movements, the right thumbstick controls mouselook, triggers do nothing. I just want the left thumbstick to work like the dpad, and the triggers to work.
If anyone has any advice, please let me know. Like so much in the Android emulation world, things get so very close to perfect without ever reaching it.

Did you tried magic dosbox?

That was actually the first emulator I tried for Dos (free version). I found it confusing because at the time I knew nothing about Dosbox. Anyway, last night I bought the full version and yes, the controller mapping is 100% compatible with the Shield Controller. Thanks!
Also it seems the developer for Magic DosBox is active, unlike all the other Dosbox ports. The UI is kind of weird... perhaps that's why I was so confused. Runecrafting and all these other references to fantasy RPGs is an unnecessary layer to the learning curve. That said, the help documentation inside the app itself is quite good.

Actually im interested as well.. can you make make a small guide,link or something for this?
I only found things in russian..
