N64 Emulator?

Does anyone know if there is a Emulator for N64 that would work on the diamond?
looking around, everyone says its not possible because of the hardware... but this was a year ago, before the Diamond
Cheers,

no any n64 emulator exist for windows mobile.
maybe some years laters if the devices have enough power.

edit: I didnt give up searching! found one called "PocketPCProject64" which is in development. The site i think was a warez site (and German), so cannot link to it, but google is your friend
as i said, in development, not released yet, but should be availible soon!

Nonsense, here the link:http://www.pocketplayers.info/Jooml...ard&Itemid=32&func=view&catid=10&id=2326#2326
Check the date, it was a april fool.

Nope, we are not a warez site, sorry... ^^
But CharlyV is right, it was our joke for april fools' days this year.
We didnt expect it would get that much attention... our report about the dreamcast emulator didnt last that long in other boards...

Hm? Since when is emulation considered 'warez'??

Iagree with krakout! If you have an original copy of the game...I have the psx with many games, but she's dead..i'm very happy to return in my favorite game with my diamond or my PC! The better psx game doesn't exist in PC (like ff9 by example..)

In general, and in fora the world over, emulation-related talk is always considered ok. Linking to ROM files MAY or may NOT be ok (for some systems and/or companies it is), but that's another story. What is the forum's policy?
For instance, I'm trying to make CaPriCe32 work on my Diamond. CaPriCe32 is an Amstrad CPC emulator; now, Amstrad has given permission for its ROMs to be distributed and used freely, so...?

We only offer emulators, but usually not any roms, isos or bios-files.
The only roms we offer are those that are officially freeware (some games like FOTAQ or BASS for ScummVM) or that are distributed by the companies themselves (Cinemare for example, who offer roms to their classics themselves).
@krakout (best akanoid clone for c64 btw ^^): Amstrad roms are really free? That would be great, then i could offer a selection of games in this case as well.

I was refering to the site as being a Warez site, so i couldnt like to it.
It was on a German site about a month ago, didnt understand much of it, but from a rough translation they thought it was going to be released soon...
So, is there any reason for there not to be a emulator?

(krakout was plain great on the CPC as well, only less brownish )
I used the word ROM literally here: Amstrad has given away the code for the machines' ROM chips, so I wasn't referring to the games themselves.
That said, there are hundreds, if I'm not mistaken, titles whose rights holders have given them to the public; I think those rights have been researched and you can find everything at TACGR.

Oh okay, i misunderstood the rom part here... ^^
I thought TACGR is down?

Ah yes it is, but then again, plenty of places to find the disk images... All the TACGR contents have been compiled into a GOODCPC ROM archive anyway (which I've been seeding on torrents for a long time now myself).
PM if you need any details

Does anyone know why is it so difficult to get a N64 emulator to work on a ppc when ps1 emulators work fine- I get around 50-80 fps on my HD2.
Are N64's actually more graphically demanding?

hey.. im wondering the same thing. I have a sprint touch pro 2 running FPSEce and it works fine. i would assume N64 roms would be much less taxing on the phone since its alot less memroy and ram needed to run it

Sweet!
Imagine that playing Golden Eye on your Hd2....

StarCraft on Android!

Apparently somebody has been working on porting Starcraft to android right underneath our noses! Click Here! for screenshots.
This could be interesting.

Is it really that hard to write the word "starcraft" in the searchbox ?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=509691

I didn't see it down there; my bad. Is it really that hard to be polite?

well i can't wait until it gets done. i would never put my phone down again when it is lol

omgg this would be amazing when its completed! Id be willing to help, but im not a developer or anything lol

If we could get Starcraft on the G1 that would be amazing. And if thats possible it should be possible to port Diablo to the G1. Now THAT would be awesome.

Hmmm how is this legal? AFAIK, starcraft isn't open source and blizzard still owns the copyright

Someone was actually working on a hombrew version of Starcraft for the DS. Im glad someone is actually making one for the G1!!!

Its called a clean room reverse engineer, which is totally legal. As long as the dev. has no inside knowledge, if he codes the engine to be compatible, then it is legal (code wise).
However, he also would have to change names/text, and also regenerate all the image/music/etc content (as those are also most likely copy writted).
Now, in the end, the question really is will Blizzard care if he reuses names/graphics, and the answer is, probably not, provided he does not try to charge for it.

Right, but so far from looking at it all the graphics and everything look the same and he's currently calling it starcraft. Also I wouldn't be so sure about them not caring, if this picks up any kind of speed at all(which I think we all know it would if released to the public) Blizzard would likely shut it down and/or at the very least demand royalties. Even before it reaches release, I've seen major companies like Nintendo demand project be shut down for copyright reasons even though they're just small community projects. At any rate, I'll be interested to see if this makes it to release and will certainly play it if it does.

Well, but Blizzard isn't Nintendo.
And this only runs on Android... and as long as they have no plan for this this is not more than free promotion in my eyes. And luckily blizzard is very user friendly.. we'll see... anyway atm the project is stopped.

Actually, every now and then I will talk to James Beckingham, the author of Pocket Hexen II. He's currently working on a Diablo 1 port for windows mobile

Blizzard WILL care. Starcraft is a very active game and blizzard is known for defending their copyrights. Even if they didn't, they are still legally obligated to defend their intellectual property.

Well I have a starcraft on my HD2 with Windows Mobile that works well. I wonder if they should try to get together on it.

Just though everyone whos been waiting on an emulator should see this

http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/21/video-gp2x-emulation-goes-down-on-t-mobile-g1/#continued
From what they said it's in pre-alpha, but from the video I'm having high hopes for it. Anyone know if there's a website for it?

MODS, please merge this thread with this one:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=517435

For some reason the mods decided to call that other thread a dupe. I believe these are two different developers. This app is an amazing port of the GP2X (from wiki) "open-source, Linux-based handheld video game console and media player created by GamePark Holdings of South Korea."
It has an active community supporting it because it's open, and it runs all the emulators you need. And because it's linux-based, it's not too difficult to make it work for android!

this app looks incredible,
now if only the g1 had better up down left right buttons...
can't wait for this one to drop though

I pm'd the mod that closed that thread, he was unaware that it was by a different group and was responding to the thread being reported. He said for me to let him know if I want the thread re-opened or to start my own thread, but I guess we should just keep the discussion here?

not just two developers but also two different emulators this one being extremely amazing. i cant wait for this to come out. i most def think this will be an even bigger reason to not give a damn that iphones have cooler looking games compared to the ones the G1 has to offer as of now.
only thing is that it being an emulator it cant become too mainstream without it becoming a copyright nightmare. so if it does come out as a licensed app all those companies, capcom, neogeo, nintendo ect..... will have to get a cut and its most likely not gonna be a free app.
but if i were the dev, im not sure if i would want everyone(the public aka people that only see ghey ass iphone commercials) to know that the G1 capable of handling badass games. or just kinda keep the emulator underground.

[Q] xbox live games crash

Hi,
I unlocked my phone.
I can download games and install them.
They appear in xbox live, but whenever i try to play them, it just crashes and comes back to xbox live screen or the home screen.
non xbox applications seem to work fine.
I have the latest updates.
can some1 help me plz?

the games are downloaded from marketplace or they are installed with a xap installer?

xap installer

maybe that's the problem...it can be the corrupted xap...try to find and download other xaps...if the free xbox games start normally then it means that the problem is within the xaps

well Im using the 3mktplace v0.54 to find and download games. From where can I download xap games that arent corrupted?

you cant crack live game with this tools... forget it... only solution is to find it cracked on other (very known forum)

You guys are some douchebags for encouraging this. Buy the games legitimately and they won't crash on you. I can't believe this question was even asked and then responded to.

there's an user that has a problem and i've tried to give him a solution or an explanation of his problem...from what we know he could have downloaded free xbox games with that software...

You can installed with a xap

I paid for the "Full House Poker" app from the marketplace and it crashes almost every time I try to use it. It works about 1 out of 25 tries, and then when it finally does launch, it crashes about 5 mins into it.

you know seems that you are really ignorant! Not every country has the market place enabled thus can't use or buy items simply because some countries ARE NOT SUPPORTED!!! USA does not mean the WORLD you know.
So if you or MSF wants to ban piracy they better expand their services.....and stop being ignorant.

Same here. My boss especially is pissed of, cause his phone is not unlocked (due to a various reasons), and both of his cards are a no go in the marketplace (zune.net throws Error! Try again later), live.com says the credit cards cannot be verified. Is it so hard, M$? Really?
And we can talk prices... but that a whole other story..

hmm...
downloading and cracking apps for iphone is much easier - Installes or cydia.
and jailbreaking iphone was easier. I wonder y is that?
the Iphone apps are also cheaper, right?
Thank you guys...

There will be NO discussion of warez here....
If you want things to work then pay for them.... If your too cheap to pay then get your warez advice elsewhere....
END OF DISCUSSION!

THIS.
Don't come in here asking how to bork devs out of money they deserve.

Well if say you work somewhere would you like it if your employer does not pay you for your work?
I have owned many different mobile OS and i always pay for my apps after using Android for 3 years i payed 60€ in total for 88 payed apps. Are you that cheap?
Verstuurd van mijn GT-I9300 met Tapatalk

ok............................
soo why are you making a wp7 custom rom? or the bazaar app ( its like installus right?) ?
if you pay for it why do need need developers for... (android dev i understand...)
edit: you can lock... i read somewhere i got my answer...

CustomROMs and Unlocks enable you to run Apps that are not possible with the official APIs. Bazaar is an alternate Marketplace that provides the possibility to centrally discover and install those Apps not possible in the official Marketplace. Bazaar does not allow you to pirate applications from the official Marketplace.

Its people like you that have already destroyed the PC games market something I personally loved and could out perform any console (eyefinity anyone, not to mention far more hardcore graphics etc). Now the Pirates are doing what they can to rip off the phone market. I mean how cheap is this world??? If you cant afford a couple quid then maybe you should get a job!

Im waiting on this answer too, thinking about moving from my Titan to a HTC 8S, but only if I can sideload my apps, I have 3 I have wrote and probably will never send to market (never get round to polishing them up) and REALLY dont wanna pay $99 for the use of my own apps on my own phone, as soon as this information hits Ill pre-order a 8S

Sent from my Lumia 900 using XDA Windows Phone 7 App

Companies will be able to install Apps from outside the Marketplace but we don't know yet how that will be managed. If I had to guess I'd be pretty sure that there will be no free sideloading, given that Windows 8 doesn't allow sideloading of Metro-Apps either without a developer certificate (though they are issuing them for free at the moment).

Microsoft will be allowing third-party developers to build Live Apps. These Live Apps can integrate with the lock screen, and also integrate into the new Windows Phone 8 Wallet and other hubs on the phone. The ability to choose among three different sizes of tiles as part of Windows Phone 8 OS.

is its mean that i can install a third-party app?
if soo i want to install waze, this one: http://meirtsvi.wordpress.com/
is it possible?

You can't install Apps from outside the Windows Phone Store unless your Apps are signed with a specific Certificate that you only get after being verified as a company.

Pirates destroyed PC Gaming?
WTF are you on about the PC market is doing better than ever right now and it's driving future business models for all platforms. I mean not only is there a Free 2 Play revolution going on but it's been a platform for mods to drive sales for games like Dayz has sold at least 1 million copies of ArmA 2 as a result. On top of that we have Steam which is currently the best digital distribution software for any platform and it has created this whole Sales trend. Then we have the flash games and all the casual Facebook games which I would be has more people playing than any platform alone.
The PC is just fine, the strongest platform out there and brings in the most revenue. The only difference is people tend to think of game sales just being retail box copies. Also lets not forget the fact that people who pirate media buy more media than people who don't, they just cannot afford to buy everything because it is their hobby and it would become so expensive. For example my friend buys all his games on his Xbox 360 but he's only bought 2-3 games this year and he doesn't know how to torrent, where as I torrent every game to try it out, yet I've bought over 20 games on Steam alone this year and some how I'm labeled as a pirate. Most of my friends torrent games and again they all buy far more games than any other group of gamer I know of.
So please put that piracy bull**** argument away, it was old 5 years ago and it's even older now.
Lets not forget the PC mod and indie scene has produced some of the best developers out there today. When a developer tries to deal with Microsoft or Sony they have to go through all these legal and restriction issues with them and wait around for ages. When their games are released they hardly get any coverage and are forgotten quickly. I think you'll find indie developers find far more success on Steam or even their own sites like Minecraft or Project Zomboid.

Start using bing rewards. you earn points for searching with bing, and you can use those points & redeem them for MS points, amazon $$, Starbucks, and now you can use them to but wp8 apps/games. This is better that pirating because you get updates on time, and if its an xboz game you can get achievements.

You will not get people here to agree with you that it would be great to pirate software. Most games on WP7 and WP8 have a Trial-Mode anyway that allows you to play the start of the game to check if it would be interesting to you - actually ALL XBox Live titles in the Marketplace have that.
Aside from that your price argument falls to pieces really quickly in the Smartphone sector given that most games don't cost more then 3$. That's less then you pay for a beer at a bar. We're not talking about expensive Software here. Piracy is especially bad for small developers, given that they don't earn much to begin with.
Modding is a completely different topic that does not have too much to do with piracy. Many games actually have their own APIs available to allow for those extensions. This has nothing to do with unlicensed copying.
It always amazes me to see people buy phones for $ 600 and then get annoyed when they are told they should shell out $ 1 - 3 for a game every once in a while.

I plan to switch to simple mobile, and im eyeballing the 920. i could care less about pirating windows app but i would like to know if there is any form of emulator apps, or perhaps a way to sideload those like you can in android?
my concern regarding pricing is fairly simple, on android i can get angry birds for free, pay 99 cents and get adfree versions. on iOS its 99 cents, with windows devices you pay 5 bucks and it doesnt seem like its updated nearly as often. im only using this as an example i wont be bother to play angry birds, wheres my water is much better . i wont pirate the apps that arent IMO worth while but i sure as hell wont buy em either.
and before anyone comments on if im cheap or not etc, ive spent at least 80 bucks on various android apps the most expensive one being 7 bucks for a fairly useful app

As was already stated above: there is no sideloading on WP8 unless you have a company certificate or have your device developer unlocked. There have been homebrew Emulators for WP7 but given that the inclusion of ROMs would have been a violation of the ROM-owners copyrights those Emulators were not allowed in the Marketplace.
Angry Birds btw. is 99 Cents at the moment in the Marketplace. Some months ago they dropped the prices on several XBox Live games. Indie games have regularly been at the 99 Cent price point even before that.
Nobody takes issue with people saying they won't pay for an App they don't enjoy and just won't use it for that reason. The problem is that there are many people around that say they won't buy into a phone because it is so expensive by itself and they don't want to pay for the Apps they use on it for that reason.

interesting, why would they have included roms? with teh android versions you download the app and put the files on your sdcard. and thats what i was wondering more about, i have a dreamspark account due to my student status and i believe at the time it allowed you to unlock your wp7 device?
i havent truly looked throught any of teh marketplace and ive only loaded up my recent install of win8 and saw angry birds space was 5 bucks, which suits me fine i have plenty of those kind of "smartphone" games on my tablet. im more interested in getting better quality xbox live enabled games, those im willing to drop the money on
i think its actually a valid point, i mean im fairly vested into android and for me to uproot and switch OS' means that day one after i drop x amount of dollars on a new device if i want any of teh apps that i used to have back i have to go and repurchase them all. thanks for all the info, as i dont really know a whole lot about wp8

You still get one year of Dev Center membership for free with your Dreamspark Account. They would have had to include the ROMs given that there were no exchangeable SD-Cards or an accessible Filesystem in WP7.
