I'm loving my rooted Nook color, but was wondering if there's a way to get emulators, like Nesoid and Snesoid, to work on it? That would be sweet to say the least, and may even make on screen controls somewhat manageable for me.
I searched the forum but didn't see any threads about it.
just download them from market and put roms either on sd or interal media. easy as pie. to fix full screen install spare parts from market and disable compatibility mode. snes plays perfect. everything else should as well
Thanks. I tried putting them on my sd card, but I can't find them from the NC. I'll fiddle a bit though. I must be placing the roms in the wrong folder.
Edit: Still can't find the files on my sd card from within the NC. I have two folders, labeled SNES and NES, and I can't find either one. I tried placing them in the "My Files" folder, and nothing. Then tried putting them in the root of the sd card, and still nothing. Any help would be appreciated.

Got it to work. Thanks
What emulators are working for yall?
I have FPse working with Bluetooth but not at full speed. Snesiod and Nesiod both work at full speed.
Has anyone successfully gotten the Wiimote to work w/ an emulator? I am currently trying to get it working with Nesoid, but no go. I can see that the keys are correctly polling on WiimoteControl, but once I set up Nesoid to accept bluetooth it will not actually recognize the keys under key mapping.
Got it, I didnt enable the correct keyboard (ie button 2) from within WiimoteControl.
Emulators
If you have SNESoid and NESoid, be sure to get ROM Gripper as well. You can go into ROM gripper from the emulators, and you can launch games from ROM gripper. ROM gripper will place the game ROMs in the correct folder.

I read a lot of threads, about using ADB to push the google apps onto nook. I couldn't get it to work, probably because i suck at linux.
I ended up just putting the microSD card back into my card reader, copied the vending.apk etc to the apps folder, and stuck it back in the nook.
The apps were there when i rebooted, and work fine. (a few force closes elsewhere, but seem to only be after i've changed a setting. and the setting change stayed.)
Did i miss a thread about this, or get lucky? Maybe ADB has other uses but easy is worth a lot when hard doesn't work.
This is driving me a bit mad.
For a while, my Nook (BN v1.1, nooted) didn't want to start up easily. If you rebooted, you had to go into Clockwork and then reboot again, otherwise it would get stuck on the intro screen.
This weekend, I decided to go back to stock and factory reset to start again. I updated the NC to v1.2 and then ManualNooted. Works great with one exception... I can no longer get ePub books that I load to show up in the Library.
I can get to them in the Library by going to "My Files" and hunting around for them, but I want them to appear "books". They used to do this and I can't figure out to get that functionality back. I've tried putting the files on a few different places in the Internal Memory and an SD card, but Library doesn't seem to find them.
Am I missing something stupid or did something change between the versions?
Thanks!
I've set this up on both my Galaxy Nexus and Asus Transformer. I'm trying to transfer over my memory card saves onto my N7. I can't seem to get it to read it.
Upon further investigation, FPse typically stores it's files in /data/data/com.emulator.fpse/
On the Nexus 7, it shows this folder as empty.
What I've done in the past, is open the new FPse load, do a backup (do the SD card), copy in my save files, then do a restore... but this isn't working either.
This is a fresh out of the box N7. Root may be a factor as both of my other devices are all modded up. But /data/data is RW... I don't even think the FPse is successfully restoring the backed up files. I've even downloaded my 2 saves and manually selected to load them... but still showing blank in the game.
And I've grabbed the file from both the backup and from the actual /data/data/com.emulator/fpse directory and tried, but no luck at all. I doubt anyone has got this far on such a new device but curious if anyone has had any luck with it.
--UPDATE---
Still haven't figured out the actual memory card saves and why they weren't working. But I ended up doing a Savestate, copying it over, and loading that.... then creating an actual save file on the "new" blank memory cards.
I still haven't found the actual folder where the real FPse files are... but this worked!
I apologize if these questions have already been answered but I didn't see them in any Nook HD+ forum/thread.
1) I downloaded some books from B&N prior to rooting the Nook. I then rooted the Nook HD+ and I can still read the books thru the default reader but I can't seem to locate them in any folder. I tried two different file viewers from Google Play and can't seem to find them anywhere. Does anybody have an idea of where they could be stored? I know they are stored locally somewhere since I have WiFi turned off. My reason for asking is I would like to access them from the new launcher (using another reader) rather then going to the B&N home page.
2) My next question involves connecting to my desktop. I use openSUSE and run WinXP in an Openbox VM. Whether in Linux or using WinXP in VM I can't access the folders on Nook. I was able to get the drivers working to use ADB (in the WinXP VM only), but I can't get any folders to show up in a file manager. Well, I actually get one folder to show up, called "NOOK", but it has very limited storage. I tried this with both developer mode on Nook turned on and off. I can transfer files to Nook (and see personal folders) when using Win Media player and Nook set to MTP, but I can't see any folders with a file manager. Any idea on what is going on? BTW, it would be nice if I could see everything from Linux without having to use WinXP.
Thanks for any help. Also, many, many thanks to Someone0 for the simple root instructions. Much better use of the Nook HD with general Android apps available.

B&N books are stored at /data/nookmedia/B&N Downloads/Books
Thanks

Thanks...that helps. Wonder what the purpose of the /sdcard/B&N Downloads directory is. Very confusing.

No clue...the external sd card also gets a B&N Downloads folder.
I have several game emulators for games I legally own. I want to use the SD card for game roms but I'm running into trouble when I try to access them through the emulators. I'm getting a message about read access permission being denied. This doesn't make sense as the emulators only need read access to load the roms. Am I missing something? Is there a switch in the settings anywhere to enable read access by apps? I'd really like to reserve the mini's internal storage for apps as 16 gigs isn't a heck of a lot. I have a 128 gig SD card mostly sitting dormant because of this issue. I'm not worried if I can't write to it, I can do that from my pc. I'm just puzzled as to why my emulators are denied access from it. Is there a non root way to fix this?

I found a work around oddly enough, but I need a real solution. If I open the rom from the SD card, I can select the appropriate emulator to play it. I can even get back to it from "recent games"... I just can't get the emulators to read the directory path which would populate the games directories in the emulators. What a pain!

I gave in and updated because my SD card was more or less sitting dormant making it pretty much useless. So I updated to the latest update and sure enough GMS was removed. However it was available for reinstallation. So when all was said and done, I got read and write access to my SD card and was able to reinstall GMS from a known good source. All is well with the world again.
