video game front end in flash - Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General

I am making a simple flash vidoe game front end (launcher) for classic vidoe games such as mario through morphgear. M y question is how do you Associate the game files with morphgear(as they are not now) and create a shortcut to the game, or shortcut to morphgear with a command line launching the game through morphgear.
So I would need to know how to either, associate the roms with the emulator, or need to know the command line syntax for morphgear that would allow me to launch the game command line style.
I attached what I have right now so you get the idea of what I want to do, it is a swf file, I have done 0 testing yet on my tilt, and is in the still at the beginning stages. If you can help I would be happy to send you a full “working” copy via email when I get it completed

Q3CE Quake 3 for X1 with 3D Acceleration

hi there,
i managed to run quake 3 but WITHOUT 3D opengl acceleration.
anyone suceeded running it with accel.?
Was it playable?
yes about 5 fps. but hardware accelerated is about 30 fps!
Can you give us details?
The Xperia runs most optimized movies at 20-22 fps, so I don't think we'll be able to run Quake III at a usable framerate anytime soon.
Could you make a guide of what to install and in what order etc? Maybe upload some files so other could do it?
Obviously dont post any game files or links to game files as this would contravene the anti-warez rules, but perhaps any custom config files if there are any.

I'd also like this.
Thanks.
ask not what people can link to for you but what you can google for them
http://www.google.dk/search?source=ig&hl=da&rlz=&q=pocketpc+quake3&btnG=Google-søgning&aq=o
got 5 to 15 fps on mine but this is the accelerated version. non accelerated version run at 1/5 fps ....and the reality is that you have more than 5 fps even if 5 is displayed... cf the diamond thread.
Can you post the configuration file or what files did you modify?
I tried it on my X1 and it just exits without errors after it ries to load a map. Also, it wasn't fullscreen.
Any help with configuration?
Here my config file.
menu are NOT in fullscreen but the game is in full screen
you can change the invert mouse configuration but don't change anything else.
Thanks, I'll give it a try.

is this with acceleration? which files do you have in q3 root dir?
Ok, it worked, even in landscape if i start q3ce while the keyboard is out. In this case, the menu is messed up, but you are able to guess where to press.
It's running at 4-5 fps with low graphics, I think. Anyway, thanks for the config file! Maybe someday we'll have a better optimized quake.
dont forget that q3ce has been program to run on intel 2700g so it's not optimize for our qualcomm with ati graphics
The conversion isn't working properly for me.
After the pakconvert I end up with a 123mb pak0 file (correct according to the installation manual). the 123mb file can't be manipulated though, I get errors when trying to copy, zip or do whatever with the file (so I deleted it.)
Anyone encountered this?
Alright, now I've gotten the convert to work, but my X1 keeps telling me that the execute file isn't a valid ppc application!
I've got the original Q3A files, who can send me (/point me towards) the proper PPC files (the non-illegal ones)? I think mine are broken ^_^ (googled).
Thanks!
you have to remove the libgl.dll and sometime have to softreset for the program to lauch
Strange thing is, it sais that the executable file doesn't work on my x1! I get the error that it's not a ppc file. And yes, I downloaded the PPC files.

WMV on TCPMP

Hello all (Freaks ,Nerds, and all other Crecks) i´m a newby here because my
english is Bumpy but i hope you now what i mean.
Do anyone here know the way to compleed assoziations of TCPMP-0[1].72RC1-ARM-PPC-recomp-03.cab (runn´s verry good on my Touch-pro) to play WMV Files ?
Change bevor, on the PC with (for Example) the Programm "Super" is not rearly good if im not at my Home.
Thanks for every Idea
Bernd35
Please answer for me "lik a child" and ill understand verry Better
every day a little bid ;oD
did you install the cab yet? to do that, copy it over to your device and open up 'file explorer'. then find the saved cab and open it up in file explorer. This will install it.
If it is installed already, and it still doesn't work, you will need a registry editor or the program 'total commander' to change the association (assuming tcpmp play wmv files). If that's the case, post again and I'll give you directions.
edit:
Oh, on rereading your post, it looks like you already have your program up and running. find and instal total commander. Find one of your files, right click (hold down on icon) and click on properties. Click associate tab. Click associate. For the command, type in "\Program Files\TCPMP\player.exe" including quotes. You may need to edit the command for your devices settings. Under parameter, type "%1" including quotes. For icon file, type '\Program Files\TCPMP\player.exe' WITHOUT the quotes. Index is '-1000' WITHOUT the quotes. You may need to soft reset to get it to work.
I had the same problem with .mp4 files. I made the association using a registry editor, but I think this way is easier. If this doesn't work, post again and I'll dig out the registry settings.
I assume you have...
Clicked options,
settings,
Select page--File associations
checked 6th box??? (Windows Media File (WM,WMV))
Check your file associations.
Thanks for your answer´s, Atachments show my Condition until NOW
i`ll reply again if I sucsessfully (or not ) and why i belive so.
See you again,
Bernd35
Hi again
i testet the asotiation with the extention :"associate selected Program with this file typ":
WMV file with TCPMP .
Answers are :
1.) Player: AUdio codec (WMV) not supportetby the player!
2.) Player: Video codec (WMV 8 ) not supportet by the player!
I understand this because The Pictures, iload up jesterday, show this-.
In foretime i remember i have a VLC Player on my PC with an extra downloaded Codec add on .
Do everybody have a Idea to have a WMV ad on for the TCPMP-Player?
Bernd35
I'm running .72RC1...have you ried associating with EVERY type of file? The only thing I don't check are picture files (bmp, jpg). and eveything works fine. Is it on only one file giving you the error or all?
Dear Telegraph0000
you are correct; i do not read "All Files"- ; but i still hope it is a possibillity to do that.
In the meantime i found a site with "Core Player", and read that this is a following Player to TCPMP but its not free - .
i do not wish, to buy a kompleetly new Player for one file-asiotiation because i am verry sadisfact with the TCPMP the last years.
My meening: The Media-player is SH.., totally old, and unflexibel, therefore i used the TCPMP a verry long time. I think the positive feathures are everybody knows.
sorry for the Rumple, Bumple of my englisch, it´s like a defekt Mixer and i hope you understand nevertless nearly what i mean.
Best greetings Bernd35
Forgotten : every WMV-File will not work.

[REQUEST]WVGA FIX for NES/SNES Emulators PLEASE!

I know there is a fix somewhere for SNES emulator, PocketSNES, to go WVGA, because at the moment, its too hard to play and keeps crashing... help please?
I second this post. Please hax0rz just port over snes9x or whatever.. ill bless thee!!
morphgear
hi guys,
you can use morphgear:
http://www.spicypixel.com/web/page/morphgear/Download.aspx
you have to take the base and the SNES module
and then to play in WVGA use those files (put them in the skins dir of morphgear):
http://rapidshare.com/files/178085630/GBAMacOSX.txt
http://rapidshare.com/files/178085629/GBAMacOSX.bmp
start morphgear and select the "pad" panel choose the emulator and select the "Gameboy Advance OSX" skin
that should do the trick
have a good day and a happy new year

quake

downloaded and installed quake. I was curious to see if i could get a lan game going between two g1 one and to my surprise it worked! pretty well actually. (after some console cmd)
go into the console and type
+mlook for mouse and keyboard fell. makes trackball the mouse. then set straff
crosshair 1 for crosshair
chase_active 1 for 3rd person.
lan game ran pretty smooth. anybody else know any good console cmd or tips for quake
Where can you find quake?
Were you running the game in an emulator of some other OS? Or have you found a native Android version of Quake? Either way, where did you get it and how did you set it up?

[Game] Nes Emulator -[R]- 5th Jan 2011 -[U]- 14th Feb 2011 -[V]- 1.2

Name: NES Emulator for Windows Phone 7
Instructions for loading rom files:
1) Sideload the app to the phone by dev tools or some other means
2) The app appears in the xbox live tab among with other games.
3) Roms are added by typing in an direct http url (ie. http://www.myhomepages.com/roms/somegame.nes) and clicking download, if all goes well the rom appears on the main listbox.
3.5) Zip files are not supported. Get that Rom directly somehow
4) select rom and click play
Gaming mode application buttons are pause/play, save, load and sounds on/off
Most of the nes roms should work.
Source: Me.
Download Link: http://www.cs.uta.fi/~tp79800/nes/Emu120.xap
update: updated xap url, but still same old emulator
Page is offline
i didn't get this. how does this emulator work?
if i sideload it, no app appears in my list. if i type in your site in the mobile IE theres just a big button with "download silverlight".
"tested" on HTC HD7
same for me. Is there anything in the XAP ?
App or the emulator should appear in the xbox live panel where other games are.
It's really slow on my LG Quantum. @ First I thought it did not work, but my zelda rom must be corrupt ( or unsupported here ). It played super mario bro's just fine, just slow & no sound at all.
I dl'd it to my laptop, chevron-unlock ( 'cause my phone locks every 5 minutes or so ), tom's xap install. Put in the url to my nes rom, hit download, hit play & it plays.
Note: can ONLY be played in portrait mode. In landscape mode, the controller takes up half the screen, so you don't see much of the game screen.
recommendation: allow users to map buttons to controls in-game. ie, my Quantum has a nice slide-out keyboard so I wouldn't need the dodgy on-screen controller.
Damn that it's slow.
First priority should be to increase framerate to playable rate. Then the UI improvements.
Sounds are enabled by pressing the gearwheel button.
confused:
"Type in url to some .nes file of your choosing and click middle button (download)"
anyone elaborate on this?
i would also like to know how to do this
You need to get .nes files to your device somehow.
Currently only implemented way is to download it to the device by typing in a direct link to a rom file ie. http://www.myhomepages.com/upload/mario.nes (imaginary link)
Upload your rom files to your own homepages or find some files online and use those links.
thats what i figgered i had to do. but still cant get it to go. keeps bringing up a error when i try to load the .nes...
edit: found out i can download the file if i rename it to 'rom.nes' (AKA case sensitive) but still gives a error when trying to play it.
edit edit: tried 5 diff. roms. all come back as "ROM was not valid"
I run it at my focus
1. Slow! just 40% NES Speed
2. No Multitouch control
I added some ARM specific tweaks, let's see if that helps..
What's the framerate now?
Samsung Focus, don't press sound button
The Key of Solomon
18~20 framerate
FF3
18~24 framerate
Press sound button
The Key of Solomon
16~17 framerate
FF3
16~17 framerate
But press the sound button can't hear Sound.
I get "The remote server returned an error: NotFound" when i try to download a rom. Interestingly though it worked once after I turned my WIFI on, but the rom was not valid
Is there a rubric or something to tell us which romsets work? I've tried GoodROMs that I've had on my PC for ages and have played countless times on countless emus on countless devices.. etc, and this app throws back an 'unsupported' error.
Tried it on my Focus and it worked fine; A little slow, as the others are saying, but the gameplay was smooth. Controls were a little slow to respond at times, but it worked fine all-in-all. FYI: ROM tested: Super Mario Bros NES
Gave it some attention here, also, a picture of it running on my Focus. Looks nice!

Easy way to get a URL
If you use DropBox you can quickly put a rom in your public folder and get the URI from the DropBox right click menu...
--------------
BTW, I'm the author of a SharpDropBox Client for .NET (over on CodePlex -- sharpdropbox.codeplex.com -- sorry not enough posts here to post an outside link) which is really just a client for WP7. I'm not sure if the author used XNA or Silverlight, but if he used the latter he could integrate my library to make it easy for those of us who can sideload to get stuff on the device. If not, I'm not sure if my library will work with XNA or not (I need to learn XNA and figure this out)
I'm hoping to give a talk on this at MIX this year (I'm actually working on creating a client library for a few other similar services for WP7).
Anyway, if he wants to get in contact with me I would love to give him a hand with this..
DevTheo
Next version is up, 1.1.0.
I hope for better framerate! and touch input should be more responsive now.
I also tried that dropbox api, but the login didn't work.
Shame on you having me do testing on the morning of my Birthday
Results in a minute....
Mario Bros 1 on previous ver: 23-29 FPS (about 38-49% speed)
wasn't able to test on new version, games that loaded in first version did not load at all in new version.. Seems even pickier than before...
tried 10 diff games from 3 diff sets. Same results
Tuska: If you can PM me and I can help with testing. I have a Dell Venue Pro and am experienced with using rom/emus
