PocketSNES WM5 on the Tilt

First I'm sorry if there is something out there to help me with this that I over looked, but after weeks of going through several forums for various issues I am going to ask for help.
I've put PocketSNES 2.00 on my tilt along with a few roms. The roms are on the Tilt and PocketSNES is on my storage card. (I've tried to put it on the phone but when I run it I get, "the file POCKETSNES cannot be opened. Either it is not signed with a trusted certificate, or one of it's components cannot be found. If the problem persists, try reinstalling or restoring the file")
I've also installed tgetfile.ppc.arm.cab which I read somewhere that it was needed.
Well when I open the app then load the rom it takes its time to open. When it opens it runs extremely choppy. I would say it refreshs the screen every 20 to 30 seconds. I've fiddled with every setting I can, yet still super slow performance.
What am I doing wrong?

running it from a storage card i guess
there is something floating about on how to disable that security thing that will prolly let you install it on the main memory and that might just fix your issue

I cannot get the GBA emmy to run properly either - rather the buttons don't seem to do jack ****.

You can use SK Tools to get rid of that message or just find it in the registry yourself.

Ive been playing with nops pocket snes for the last few days with similar results. Very choppy, pretty much unplayable. One thing to remember is that you cant use the screen for controller buttons. Whenever you touch and hold it slows down to almost a stop. I use the keyboard for buttons.

I found it in the registry but it was already disabled. I'm pretty sure it was
hklm/security/certmod/allowuntrustedapps set to 1
There was another mention of changing 000101a in another folder but it was set to 1 as well.
Are you sure this SKTools will work on the Kaiser/Tilt. I tried it and it said that it was disabled. Lastly I found that the kaisertweak app had the option set to disable the error. Grrr

I just tried running it and the roms from main storage, still no good.

snes
I have pocket snes it runs perfect with no sound also have pocketnester(nes) pocketgnuboy(gameboy) and they all work perfect and you can sound working great too except on the snes. I have them all on my card 4gb sandisk and the roms are on the card as well. I have the tytn 2 stock rom with your basic tweaks. took them off my wizards memory card and just continued to play where I left off. also have pocketgba but its far from perfect and slow. u can probally google them. if u need more help just send me a pm if you need help with settings etc. also on the snes u can play perfect with no sound and run ur mp3s so its the emu that can't handle sound not the phone.

Sounds like another reason to go to the htc rom.

Yeah, I play with no sound, but that sux. I'm using the helmi rom, but also tried it with the HTC rom. I also have pocket nester working great.

I saw a method involving certifying the app but I think that might be beyond my scope.

Bad news the @ssholes at HTC still haven't managed to fix this problem - this has been a problem with ALL their 2.8" devices for TWO YEARS!!

Guys, I *really* hope you've been closely following my emulation-related Bibles in the General forum. If you don't want to search them one by one, you can find them all at http://www.pocketpcmag.com/blogs/index.php?blog=3&cat=353
You might also want to give a try to alternative emulators to find out whether they're any good.

I actually did read most of them, thats how I got into pocket Doom. I have Wolf3D, doom, and these emulators.

SNesoid problem

I had had various Eclair ROMs for some time but recently I tried some Donut ones and I'm more happy with speed etc. The problem is SNesoid stopped working. It won't run on the latest Cyanogen, SuperD Ram Hack or non Ram Hack. When I try to run a game it looks like it's starting, the screen goes black for a few seconds and then it goes back to the main ROM selection screen. Game ROMs are fine as I played them without any problems before.
Some more info - the same thing happens on Game Boy Advance emulator from the same author but Game Boy Color emulator works fine. I've searched and couldn't find anybody else having this problem, some people even recommend Dount ROMs for emulators.
I can't really think of anything. All ROMs I have tried were installed after a full wipe. I have 96MB swap as far as I remember and about half a gig EXT3. Am I missing something obvious here?
thanks

It's been solved now so I post it here in case somebody comes across the same problem. Author's response:
Yep, it has this problem on some hacked Donut ROMs. You can 'fix' it by turning off the virtual keypad.

You don't use virtual keypad on the G1 anyway but it's turned on by default. Also I have found out it works fine on Dwang Dount ROM.

[Q] Angry Birds Beta Lite

I was looking forward to playing Angry Birds on my game since I saw how much fun it was on Apple platforms, however there is a problem it's not working on my mytouch 3g. I was wondering if anyone else had this problem as well? Also it wasn't showing up in the market even though Rovio said it would. I'm also running Cyanogen Mod 6 which might be a reason why it's not working.

same problem with me.
can not find in on the market but a direct dl link.
game is just showing the logo and then crashing :-(

I'm having the same problem on my fiancee's mytouch 1.2. Her phone's not rooted, which is what I suspected to be the problem. but if you're not getting it to work even on froyo, I'm guessing it could be a hardware issue. It's strange though, because someone in the vibrant forums said that they had it working on their G1...

My logcat shows that there is an issue with hw3dc. Not sure how to fix that tho.
Sent from my jitterbug

I've looked around and I've seen people say they've gotten it to work on their mytouch 3g. I'm just curious what the problem could be. Be nice if someone who did get it to work could reply and tell us how they got it to work.

I have the same problem, just saw a nice logo with birds and then ..... homescreen :S

Not working on mine aswell. Read something that it will only work on second generation android devices...

If it only works for second generation devices I'm curious as to why they would list mytouch 3g and other similar devices as compatible with the game.

I can't get it to install after downloading it externally (magic 32A with froyorider v1.0)

finally got this running on my vodafone magic running CM6.0 tapping the screen seems to keep the process active so android doesn't auto shut it down when gets low memory

I also got it working on my Rogers Magic running CM6 by repeatedly tapping the screen as the game was loading.

So i'm guessing it's a low memory problem then?
Edit: So I managed to get passed the title screen by tapping the screen repeatedly however I'm still unable to play it.
Re-edit: Never mind I got it to work. It works fine now.

Runs on my rooted ION running CM6. But it does seem to just stop after a little bit launching a bird. I will try tapping the screen to keep it running.

I'm not sure if it's just cause the game is a beta or not but I've noticed that some parts of the landscape is just white. I'm pretty sure it's supposed to be grass but all I see is white. Does anyone else get that problem as well?

Works on my mt3g running 6.0 rc3, tapping on the load screen does seem to help...once it loads it has not crashed

I get that white land problem too! Seems like a pretty wierd bug...

wow the same problem like me! but it runs smoothly in eclair.

ya i get the white border thing too...

Hm....maybe it's a bug then? or it could be that our phones can't render the landscape properly.

Tapping, or rather holding my finger on the screen worked for me too. MyTouch 3G (32B) with CM6.
I had never played this game before and I went from "this is stupid" to "I have done no work for 3 hours."

Dungeon Defenders - network error

Tried to run Dungeon Defenders. It will load from the Market so that is good. The intro screen loads. But normally it checks that you are on wifi before loading patches. Unfortunately on the nook it pops up an error message about the network and being unable to reach the host.
I know it isn't the network since it works fine on my droid x. Oh well having that would be kinda cool.
Anyone know a way around that issue?

Where does your problem appear? I get the title screen, unreal screen, game spy screen, intro video, menu, I can play locally, internet gaming I can select a character and then it asks to login into my gamespy account. I don't have one and I really don't want create one. As far as i can tell it works.
I installed the came a couple of weeks ago and then uninstalled it because i did not like it but I never removed the data from my sdcard. After I read your post I reinstalled and it still works. Keep in mind this game wants to download 600 MB. So if your nook goes to sleep and yourwifi turns off you could have issues. What sucks is that it was $6 wasted since the market refund policy is now 15 minutes. Google really needs to change that again. It took 1.5 hours before I could even play the game in order to try it. I have a 40Mb/s internet connection so the problem was the servers that provide the additional contend that needs to be downloaded.

Same exact thing happened to me.
Go here: [wont let me post a link] Go to the Dungeon Defenders main website, go to the forums and then to technical support, there will be a thread at the top that says ANDROID USERS: Solutions for anyone having installation problems of DunDef:FirstWave! and it will have a link to instructions on how to get it to work.

It runs for you? I got all of the data downloaded but then i crash during the loading screen

Well I'm not sure if it was the update to the program today or my reboot but in any event today it downloaded fine. Actually seems to run reasonably well although the interface is different on the NC then it is on the droid x. On the droid you move with a little joypad, with NC you click where you want to move to and the character moves there. Not quite sure how the game works as I didn't really play it much but it is bright and colorful and seems to run pretty good.

If a network error occurs, just click ok and then click on the dungeon defenders icon again, it will start where it left off and most likely fix itself. I've got Dungeon Defenders running perfectly and everything works. I was surprised at how smooth it was on the NC. You can enable the joystick in the options, and it is probably the only way you can do well at the game. I have never had a crash and rate it 9/10 on the NC (not my rating of the game, of how the nook runs it). There are millisecond hang-ups I would expect to see on any platform, but nothing bad.

captain america market game

So I paid the whole .99 for captain America. It would run ok but almost all graphics were gray except captain. Tried uninstall/reinstall many times and it didn't help so I figured it wouldn't work. A week later i tried it and the graphics were fine. It baffled me why it worked?? Now its back to gray graphics again. Any clues anyone? I'm running brilliant corners.

Just a thought, but did you change your overclock settings?

Yeah I took it down to 1ghz on min and Max, killed a couple tasks and it worked normally once. I restarted it 2 mins later and back to gray graphics! It crashes the tablet sometimes when I exit the game. I read its working fine on transformer and xoom but of course that's HC platform. Has anyone else had luck with this game?

I get black boxes wherever graphics should be and haven't gotten past the first mission screen before it crashes.

My buddy has a gtab also running on brilliant corners (same as me). And he got CA and it works perfect for him. Also that gansta game works fine for him but black blocks for me in parts of the Game. What is different about his tab then mine? We both have 1.2 bootloader running brilliant corners. His games work 100% and mine don't. We need the experts to look at this.

If by gangster game, you are referring to Contract Killer, then I too have the black boxes...the card are solid black. I'm also running 1.2 Brilliant corners, using Clemsyn's OC kernel at 1500. I treid CA when on Calk/Clem and it wouldn't even load...it would cloase to home screen.
Heck with it, I'm trying CA again, wish me luck, I'll get back with what happens...
Edit - Well, I'm back, I first downloadedthe game content to SD card, tried to play and got REALLY choppy graphics and all black boxes. The entire bottom of the screen was black. Figured I'd see what happened if I downloaded the content to internal memory. The game played much smoother, but the entire ground is gray. I run, then stop, only to find out that there is an invisible "something" I need to jump over. I rebooted, tried again, still have all gray ground. So, it's not working...
Edit 2 for above quote...what kernel is your buddy running?
edit 3 - attempted wiht Pershoot kernel, no go there either, black parts, VERY choppy again...
edt 4 - went back to calk/clem, still not working

'Contract Killers' looks fine on Vegan 5.1.1, but I only played it a couple of times. By 'Gangster Game' He might mean 'Big Time Gangster'; That game works fine for me 90% of the time, but sometimes I get black boxes or during a gun fight I can't see the enemy's side of the screen.
Both of those games are published by Glu Mobile; they also publish 'Gun Bros' (doesn't work on my gTab, crashes at splash screen); 'Super KO Boxing 2' (I played for a couple of minutes, it worked fine)

Yeah bt gangsta is black blocks on mine. My friends gtab runs it perfectly on the same rom. I don't know what could be different between mine and his.
