Has someone tried emulators on X1 ? - XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi, Guys !
I was wondering if someone has tried some of the game emulators we have for WM - NeoGeo, Mame, Gameboy, PS1 and etc... and if yes, could you share your opinion about them and their performance on the X1 cause this could be a good solution to the otherwise poor with cool WVGA game titles phone .. Thank a lot

I tried mame. It works quite fine. Only problem is with lack of buttons to control the games. I guess this will be problem for all emulators.

Use search, there have been plenty of topics.
The best emulator is definitely MorphGear. It can emulate almost anything, from NES, SNES and Gameboy to Sega Megadrive and more! You can play in fullscreen in WVGA resolution. The smoothest speed possible on an emulator. Full customization of the keys. It is the best.

MorphGear is GD slow! i've tried only genesis module, which i had to use FPS = 4 and disable sound to be able to play on the right speed... so i concluded snes module will be even worse... anybody can run MorphGear in a decent manner??? i use PicoDrive, which runs perfectly smooth WITH SOUND!!!! it's also possible to use the hard keyboard keys, so after some training it became really playable.... minor drawback: you have to install wvgafix3 (search for it here at xda) to run it on xperia..... go for PicoDrive, you won't regret.....

MorphGear does all of those + fullscreen. Super Mario ftw!

Morphgear is very laggy for me when playing super mario. Any tweaks?

Very interested in this topic too!!!
I have messed around with mame quite a bit and am using FBA 0.14/0.12...i am sooo sad, that they do not develop this project anymore...without sound, the speed is not bad for some games!..with sound it lags too much i am afraid =/
cannot wait to test the ones you mentioned!

I tried pocket dosbox and played spelljammer pirates of realspace for a bit worked fine

... about MorphGear. GAPI runs the fastest on it but it doesn't work right. It scales the screen so it shows only a part of the gaming screen ... anybody know a fix for this?? Been wrecking my brain recently trying to get it work. With other display modes the fps just sucks.. Pocketgba I think uses GAPI and it runs supersmooth, but has numerous other problems so I'd prefer MorphGear.
ps. been searching this forum and googling this problem for like forever now

Haven't tried morphgear but pocket gba is slow

MorphGear + Kaiser (TYTN II) = Problem :( Help!!!!

I Folks!
I wanted to play SNES, Genesis, NES and Master games on my Kaiser. I downloaded latest version of MorphGear 2.4.0.9.
My problem is that i can´t activate sound on SNES and Genesis platforms. Master and Nes works great.
Another problem is about the speed emulation on 16bits consoles (Snes and Genesis). Especially when running heavy rom like: Super mario world (Snes), Rock in roll raca (SNES), Magical quest - mickey mouse (Snes)
When i played Toejam & Earl (Genesis platform) the game runs but i cant see no names ant text, and souds too!
As you see i´m in a big trouble hehe!!!
Does anyone could help me?
Sorry: My device is a Kaiser (HTC TYTN II) 400mhz processor 32bits perf..
The courious part is that many people could run MorphGear on 200mhz 32bits devices

you should sell your kaiser and change to a 200mhz 32bits devices... and not a HTC product.....
ps: someone may want to kick me for this.... whatever just saying what need to say
Thank you for your silly reply by i´m very satisfied with this device!
Anyone else?
Try this emulator instead, http://paqpark.nuclearfallout.net/projects/pocketsnes.php
It's much faster, just make sure sound is disabled on all of your Snes emulations or you will experience massive lag.
yea i got pocketsnes in my titan and its great as long as you deactivate the sound, but since these htc devices dont allow multi button pressing in the keaboard, the games are tricky to impossible to play, but indeed this is the best snes emulator around
Kind of seems pointless without sound though
PocketNes and MorphGear are the same quailty speed emulation on kaiser!
I tryed Genn1.0 and ran Genesis ok! But without set buttons

Is it possible to Play SuperNes games or Gameboy advance games on the diamond?

Play SuperNes games or Gameboy advance games on the diamond?
one word - no

http://www.pdagameguide.com/snes-emulator.html
Haven't tried it though..
yes it's possible and very easy!
I've got installed 4 amulators working fine
for SNES: PocketSNES version 1.12.200
for Sega Genesis: Genesis Plus/PocketPc version 1.06 (GenPP)
for PSX:FPSECE version 0.09.6
for Gameboy Advance: PocketGBA
you can google them or find some of them in the xda-wiki.
all of them work fine in the diamond with vga support, but the best are for SNES and Sega Genesis. the other 2 are a little slow but of cours you can play some games.
tell me if you need any help, I'm new with WM but I've tried lots of things already.
And don't forget morphgear.

Whats it like with gameplay in terms of hardware buttons, etc?
hi,
the pocketsnes i dled the arm version, and when i tried loading up my rom nothing happens, and when i click the screen it leads me to a website, i also notice that everything is slower.
morphgear on the otherhand is tiny, i guess its only for qvga mode.
is there anyway to make one of these work properly?
I really hope that the Diamond/TP can play SNES quite good because my 4 year old Palm T3 with 400MHz has no problems with 320 x 480.

If you want an on screen controler you have to use a vga skin.
The default is only for qvga.

Emulation Speed

Has anyone tried to play any console emulators on the X1 yet? I would like to see how PocketSNES, PocketGBA, and FPSEce perform. Anyone would has the device that would like to try them out let me know how they work! (If at all)
PocketSNES 1.53
http://www.modaco.com/content/smartphone-software-games/237589/pocketsnes-1-53/
PocketGBA
http://www.sunbug.net/products/view/141
FPSece
http://www.fpsece.net/download.htm
Pocketsnes works for me ony thing is the screensize but it works
Awesome does it run at full speed? I would assume so since my wizard gets pretty close. FPSEce only runs at 18fps on it so I'm wondering is the X1 has a nice improvement over it.
yeh it runs at full speed so no worries there
Does button mapping to the keyboard work?
Kloc said:

Yes, it works
problem is the emulators and games dont support WVGA so the viewport is reduced to VGA which is really tiny on the 3inch display.
Also for me many SNES games dont run at full speed and you cant map all the keyboard buttons, for example the arrow keys on the keyboard all have the same Keycode...
in my opinion game emulators are pretty useless on the X1
I wonder if the people posting here who says it works have actually tried a number of games and played for a period of time or are just saying things they read somewhere else.
Wow you really can't get SNES at full speed? My wizard with a 200mhz proc can do it just fine on most games.

Well you can, but only with Sound disabled and Frameskip on many games. With Sound most of them lag horrible, also compatibilty with the existing emulators on the X1 isnt really good. You need a WVGA fix to get them running at all and overall its not a very pleasant gaming experience...
the only one I got running properly is the GBA emu and the only game worth playing is FF tactics. that one works quite fine .. its just that itdoesnt use the full screen and the actual game screen is tiny! not sure if there anything u can do to fix that
?
I use Morphgear (MegaDrive/Snes/GBA), Picodrive, GenesisPlus, PocketSnes and PocketGBA (mostly without sound but) running at full/nearly full speed.
You have to use WVGA FIX2 but Morphgear+PocketGBA can be used without it.
Keyboardbuttons can be mapped without a problem.
The X1 can be used as much for gaming as other (W)VGA devices.
Greets !
in PocketSnes i cant map the buttons right next to the spacebar where normally the arrow keys would be..atleast two of them (ö/8 ä/9 or so on german layout) produce the same code in PocketSnes.
Besides that it works but compared to those emulators on my PSP its just useless...but thats mainly due to the very tiny screen in VGA res...
do they completly fill x1's screen?

Thats true for most emulators but you can use Morphgear full screen (800*480) !
Without sound it is usable/playable but with a normal ratio (640*480) it plays smoother/more fps.
could you please put up a link for the latest version of morphgear? I cant seem to find a working download link
thx
Here you go...
morphgear is working great!
I cant seem to get sound to work thou...I checked enabled sound in global and snes options /hmm...
where can i download to put more games on the emulator
I've never had any game running without lags on my X1 (Haven't tried SNES)

Genesis/Mega Drive emulator for Kaiser?

Is there a fully working, full speed Genesis emulator for the Kaiser?
I tried Genesis Plus 0.6. With frameskip on auto, it was way too slow. And it doesn't have any options to remap keys.
I tried PicoDrive 0.52. It was also too slow and it doesn't have any options to enable frameskip. I could remap keys, but up was right, down was left, right was down, and left was up.
Are there any full speed Genesis/Mega Drive emulators for the Kaiser? There were some nearly full speed ones for my ancient Nokia 6620 (150 MHz Arm9, 16 MB RAM), so full speed emulation on the Kaiser (400 MHz Arm9, 128 MB RAM) should be possible.
I have not found even a decent Gameboy, Gameboy Advance, or Nintendo emulator. My iPod Touch has got them all and working great :<<
You won't find any emulators at the moment that are going to be fully smooth (forget about sound) on kaiser. sorry, but that's the way it is.
hopefully incoming version 0.1 of fpsece will let us play games like final fantasy VII with decent framerates. it may be possible, as makers of it have promised to release source code for gfx plugin. maybe, just maybe someone will try to write a dedicated gfx plugin and to utilize 3d hardware in kaisers to give it bit more processing power.

[EDIT]
funny thing is, that silly old nokia N70 can play gameboy advance games without sound at almost full speed (frameskip 1), and all of it on ~200 mhz cpu. those who tried playing gba games on kaiser know, that they are not playable at all.

My friend always plays ol` good games (GB, GBA, NINTENDO) with his N95 and they look gorgeus compared to kaiser. I just hate the fact that we don`t have anything matching.
solid nes emulator for kaiser exists

I suggest u guys look for pocket nester. it runs nes roms just fine on kaiser. requires some remapping of keys. I believe it took some googling after trying xda forum links. i located the emulator while looking for kinoma free play here on xda.

It looks like the latest version is 0.7 from 2003 Giving it a try tho, need to source some roms.
Update : Works fine if you don't use the onscreen controls, just maps to the dpad and A=Softkey Left B=IE Button Start=Softkey right Select=SMS button.
The Audio works best upto 22800, 8 bit, with 2 set for frameskip .
Apparently free .NES ROMs here - full commercial games at non-warez site.
PS Sorry to hijack your MegDdrive thread with NES info but I'm all excited I got this working smooth.
seems right

yup, that is the one. simply copy pocketnester app to storage card, transfer your roms, load roms thru program or just setup association with nes roms inside options and double click ur rom
remember ull need to remap, which took a little state diagram for me to get it right.
if u can find your mario 2 it is perfect for ppc since no time limit, four characters, and lots of places when you drop it simply scrolls down. makes sloppy button presses little less upsetting!
morphgear seems to work fine

download site
download the generator and the emulators, run the files while ppc connected to activesync and computer thru usb, soft reset and proceed with installations, transfer appropriate roms to storage card, goto programs->games->morphgear, switch to whichever file type and load rom
try it
Genesis/Mega Drive emulation is currently broken in Morphgear. It crashes immediately on opening a ROM.
Check out Smart Gear. It emulates Genesis, SNES, NES, Gamegear, and Gameboy. Unfortunately, it's not free.
pocket nester works great for playing nintendo games, i'm playing mike tyson's punch out now, SICK
I use picodrive v0.52 for mega drive, pocketgnuboy v1.20 for gameboy and PocketGBA v060723 for gameboy advance and all run fine with sound, only thing is on picodrive turn the sound sample rate down to about 22050 or less because i've found if set any higher games become quite laggy.
No sound on Kaiser?
I am running Picodrive v0.052 on my TyTyn II and all of the roms run fine, but without sound. I have tried changing the sample rate, disabling Z80 and any other options I can see, but so far had no joy.
Anyone know what I am doing wrong?

getting Morpgear SNES, GBA to run smooth (3d Acceleration Cab needed?)

Hey Everyone
I have been combing this Fourms and there is a lot of stuff but I I have not found a soultion to run SNES and GBA games.
So my HTC (Kaiser) Runs Poorly on SNES and GBA Games. If I un enable the sound SNes Performace does get better, but it is still a little choppy. GBA games either way are choppy.
and of course NES, GB and GBC run very well
I have seen a few people mention they can get theirs to work and I was hoping to get mine up and running as well.
first I am Running WM 6.5
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=547754
That cooked version.
Morph Gear Version 2.4.09
after going through all the Posts I have also installed
HTC-CA-Kaiser-Drivers.cab
HTC TI Kaiser Drivers.cab
I was going to try
SJ SamsungOmnia_Driver_D3D.cab (but have not done it yet)
Does anyone have any tips?

Hey, I've been looking to optimize my new Tilt for high-speed gaming/emulation (and applications in general) as well... and to be totally honest, all this about flashing and roms (especially the tutorials) has confused me senseless; however this native ROM you speak of looks like it's what I want.
...could you link me to that ROM?
...and does it have any compatibility issues with the Tilt's keyboard/function keys, or other sorts of connection manager hell I'd have to go through to get it properly working on AT&T's MEdia Net 3G?

any last shipped 6.1 rom from wiki you whant. but it was writen before I try snesgo, and I must say - it is the best snes emu ever. runing smooth on on pdacornerXv9. only one bug - I cannt map qwerty as gamepad.
Most emulators were written ages ago. I wouldn't consider any of them anywhere near a finished product. Also, unless you're talking about PSX or N64 emulation, the 3D accelerator won't increase the frame rate. Though, it could make the graphics look smoother and sharper, without making the game slower.
3D acceleration is just a mess on the Kaiser as well. Most applications are looking for a Nvidia, PowerVR, or Xscale to even run. Even still, more roms come with superram, which prevents the use of proper 3D drivers. I myself am still in the process of trying to find a clean WM6.5 rom, without superram.
Dukenukemx
nes, snes or sega is not 3d-game console. so not of any 3d drivers neded at all. it is all about 2d.
obaz, that's what I said.
