Hello,
I'm new to the forums....been reading a lot lately. Unfortunately, I had to post a n00b question because I couldn't find the answer anywhere and it's probably more of an opinion than a straight up answer.
What is the best Video Driver/ROM for a Kaiser running emulators? Specifically I'm thinking of FPSECE (the psx emulator), but also like MorphGear (I know, it's 2d so it's different, but it would be nice to know of a driver that can run this and FPSECE). Can anyone help me out? Thanks and have a great day!
Hi,
I am not so good on the technical side but I tried to use the demo for Morphgear with a previous ROM I had (from Laurentius26's), when the drivers were updated. 2D games like for GB or SNES do not present so much problem. I tried a GBA game recently, that's a no go, even with the latest update from our hard-workers of the HTCClassAction (at least for me ).
Concerning the PS emulator, never tried, but I strongly guess it's going to be ahard time for the Kaiser!
I don't know if you found it during your search, but I think some people have Quake and Duke Nukem working pretty well thou, worth the try .

First, the courts have repeatedly ruled that emulators are absolutely, perfectly 100% legal. There is NO grey area about this at all. Talking about emulators is not a legal issue at all.
Roms however are illegal to share or download so discussing where to get them, what torrents to get them in is not acceptable and so please absolutely no discussion of roms here.
My question relates to the Gameboy Advance and Super Nintendo emulator found here...
http://www.pocketsnes.net/ (I don't think this is the latest version but I can't find a newer version).
It's a program that lets me play backed up copies of gameboy advance and super nintendo games that I own on my mobile phone.
While the program worked perfectly fine on previous generation HTC phone, I can't get it to work here.
Could someone with some software experience please work on, or figure out what the problem is and why we can't get it running on this particular HTC phone.
It's honestly the only drawback to upgrading to the Kaiser so I would love to have it fixed.
Thank you.
The problem is more than likely to do with the much talked about video driver issues. Until an official fix is released or another way to get the video hardware running properly there's not really much that you can do. I've managed to run a SNES emulator on my Kaiser at a pace slightly slower than a snail's .
On the other hand, emulation of the original NES console games along with the Gameboy/Gameboy Color seems to work perfectly for me. Maybe give that a try if you can put up with the not-quite-so-good graphics?
Its going to play terribly because of the acceleration problems with our phones, My 6700 used to play them perfectly with out sound.. well except GBA but SNES was flawless without sound.. I just cant wait for someone with the intelligence and skills to come out with a fix for this problem, he/she should definitely become well known after that creation.
mine runs pretty smooth...i have had no problems yet
Wait, you have PocketSnes working!!! If so, could you tell me where you downloaded it from please. Thank you.
I'm 95% sure that the sourcecode for pocketsnes was released years ago.
The old program was written for Windows Mobile (the same OS we have now).
Could someone maybe recompile it in whatever language works with qualcomm processers (I have no idea how to do this but I'm hoping it can be done by some brilliant coder out there).
I will happily contribute to a paypal account for whoever can pull that off as I am sure many others will.

Rico are you talking about with or without sound??
Hey fellas, I'm just wondering what kind of emulator you can use for the Tilt and what type of roms does it support, like can you use the same roms that you use on your computer for it or is it something else?
I use Morphgear and it works great. ROMs that work on your computer should be able to work on your device.
I use "Pocket Nester" for NES roms and "Pocket SNES" for SNES games, all of which are normal roms you normally use on the computer. I also have a PSX emulator, which was pig slow on the orbit, but I havent yet tried it on the kaiser.
Alright well Morphgear sounds the most popular, does anyone know if this will be compatible with Virtual Boy Advance game saves? Could someone please test this for me, also does it use the same extensions? ".gba", ".gbc", and ".gb"?

pocket snes emulator is for snes games .smc format, nes games are .nes that`s why pocket nes won`t recognise the format.
Don't snes games run real slow on the kaiser..? I only found NES games to work wqell on it.

I can only get decent speed on morphgear with the sound disabled for snes games. Anyone got decent settings for snes emulation please?
I run Dutty's latest rom (June 7th (?..)) and pocket snes works okay on that, but it really depends on the game. For example, FF6 is okay, Super Street Fighter 2 Turbo is good, but Killer Instinct is a bit choppy.
Aside from the ones already mentioned, I like to use FinalBurn, it lets you play some neogeo, and some other arcade games.

i can get super mario world to play well on pocketsnes with sound on a 2 fps skip but for some reason if you enable auto skip it slows down quite a bit the newer roms are definitely the fastest. has anyone been able to get pocketgba or genpp working?
Hey everyone, I was playing some old PC games and could was wondering why you could not play a simple click and play game on the kaiser such as Monkey Island or The 7th guest.I came across a program called scum but I have not been able to find the games to run on it. It says that they are freeware. If anyone could find a few please let me know. Thanks for your help and happy hunting.
Update
I guess a better question may be this. If you have these older point and click games, is there a way convert them to ppc so that you can play them?
You would want to search for emulators to play them. like scummvm and whatnot. for pure dos emulation, I'd recommend dosbox ppc or pdosbox.
I keep meaning to give this one a try...
http://www.astraware.com/ppc/featured/brokensword1/?skucode=0211-000-0466
It's been converted to WM6, so no need for an emulator.
I only ever played the PC Demo and it seemed a good game, but never got round to buying it. No idea what it's like on the Kaiser, but saying that, maybe I'll try now....
Otherwise - http://www.scummvm.org/ looks good thanks ycavan! I've tried Dosbox before though, and it does work but wasn't that impressed with trying to use such a small screen.
http://www.scummvm.org/downloads.php
Go on the Scummvm site and Broken Sword is free anyway! Plus theres Lure of the Temptress, Beneath a Steel Sky.... Excellent!
After about an hour of searching this forum, and many links for games and emulators from this forum, I cant find the only games I really want. The classic arcade version of Donkey Kong, and the Legend of Zelda. I know I could probably have the both of these with a nintendo emulator, but the 5 or so links to download different emulators never worked. Does anyone out there have a working .bin emulator file, or just the games themselves. Thanks.
Well i found this. I dont know if this is what you looking for. But just trying to help.

There are more emulator games on the site. You just have to find them.
Would have been exactly what I wanted, but they dont work with the Kaiser. Always prompted with "file error". Thanks.
Anyone have either of these games already.
thats weird they work on mines. sorry it didn't work. If i find more ill post it here
Thanks... I'll try again, but it seemed the java that they run off was conflicting with my phone.??? Are you running an Emulator with them, or just straight off the website?
Have you tried Pocketnes? I have a few hundred games that all work flawlessly. Which rom are you using? There are a few roms that it wont work with.
I'm not using one yet. Everytime I install one, it never works, or just doesnt download.. I'll try pocketnes though... don't think I've tried that one. Thanks.

I have PocketSnes, but I can't get Roms to work, when I load them they freeze my device. I tried Killer Instinct and The Avengers, anyone know of any issues with these.
I also have pocketSnes and have both those games running just fine, most likely your rom. Which are you using?
Probably a useless reply (sorry!) lol
But i did manage to find a copy of zelda thats a stand alone java application.
Try searching for zelda+winmo+java maybe.
Sorry dont have time to upload it somewhere for yea atm.
My kid is a huge zelda fan - Its NOT for me. Thatd be quake2
Have you tried MAME for PPC? It's called MAMECE3:
http://www.mameworld.net/mamece3/
I imagine it shouldn't have any problems running an older game like Donkey Kong!
As far as the original Legend of Zelda goes, have you tried PocketNES?:
http://pocketnes.retrogames.com/
Of course, finding the ROMs is a question of legality.. You could try building a ROM dumper and dumping the contents of the chips in that old Donkey Kong arcade machine in your garage.. (you know, the one sitting next to the box with the old Legend of Zelda cartridge in it!)

Hi guys,
i downloaded Fpsece 0.10 for my Xperia X1.
I saw a thread about it and how it performs on games like Driver.
Well, the thread says that you can get up to 35 frames with Driver.
But the highest i can get is about 13 fps.
Soo, do i have to install any patches or stuff like that??
Push!
No ideas, anybody ??
well never used it but if it's optimized to use the nvidia gpu which some games are then not really much you can do
Well, but why does the guy there in the FPSECE Forum( cant post the link because im new user) get so much better FPS with the same mobile phone??
Push again !
Cmon please, does anybody know something?
maybe the guy in the emulator forum got some pointers?
What do u mean by that?
Im sorry, Im german, so i dont understand everything.
But anyway, does anybody get good results with FPSECE?
Push again..
Come on, as far as i know im not the only one who has problems with that emulator.
So whats the deal with it?

Their is already a thread on this. Search this in the search engine: New FPSEce v0.10 !
Not sure what's yr problem. But at least you should list what game you tried to compare. I tried FF9 on my rom and got ~40 fps for movie and 23-30 fps for game play.
I tried the Game "Driver".
And i get about 12-13 fps, unplayable.
Not sure what im doing wrong, but id be happy if someone tells me
Push!
Cmon, pleeease !!!
Does nobody want to help me?? Please...
Have you tried different ROMs? Your ROM maybe the issue
when its in portrait im getting 30-35 fps but landscape is virtually un-playable for me (8-13 fps) sorry
Just not all PSX games are supported.
I think you'll get your questions answered faster if you ask it on the X1 thread in the FPSCE forum
also, depending on what ROM you are using and what programs you are running, the game will perform terribly
i have found if you close out slideview (i used taskfacade) it runs a little faster
