Emulators are in the Marketplace! - Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games

Hey everyone I was browsing the marketplace this morning and I noticed something really odd and seemingly impossible. I saw an emulator in the marketplace Here is one of them http://www.windowsphone.com/en-US/apps/1740c542-69f4-4a8c-afe7-e2a3bac5e71b
Anyone have any idea what the heck is going on? MS said no to emulators but I guess they changed their mind? 0.o

Aye Samuel Blanchard (the creator of WJ7) just tweeted me about it, had to check if it was my emulator lol.
Checked out the xap, it's a port of XNASharpNES and probably of this project. He's included the rom files in a couple of different games, like nes open, metroid, punch out to mention a few. I can't believe MS let this through validation with the roms included, that's a pretty bad oversight.

:O Yea that is pretty bad oversight. I told Sam about it XD. But no one should say anything XD Everyone should put their emulators on the marketplace now .

I read an article on this the other day. It really is surprising they are allowing these broken emulated versions of big title games such as mario and metroid to get on the market.

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....

That's what she said app

So this is an app a buddy of mine requested. I in no shape or form own rights to The Office or any of its characters. This is strictly a "for the heck of it" application. I took pictures of the characters and attached their own versions of "That's what she said." from a few clips from the show.
I didn't go through the little details yet. It is my first "real" app for windows mobile. I always used palm os devices. Let me know what you think. There is a vga and qvga version. I've tested both the vga and qvga in the appropriate emulators, but only tested the vga on the touch pro. Please check the qvga version if any of you have the matching device. Thanks everyone, and enjoy!

As always, I am not responsible for your phone spontaneously lighting on fire or any other random software and hardware failures.
Haha not sure if this app really serves any useful purpose but I love it.
I find myself saying that's what she said at least once a day anymore.
OMG, cool app man. That's what she said!
thank you so much this is the app i never new i always wanted
tryin it out now
one of my professors says thats what she said daily and loves the office so im gonna try to score some points tomorrow
Thanks everyone for giving it a try. I'm going to leave it posted. Tell your friends to stop by and give it a try. Especially if they have a qvga device. I don't have one, so I can't test it on hardware, only the emulator. Thank you again.
could you make it so michael says more than one? i know he has like 50 or somethin
i especially like the one where he gets roasted and he pulls a thats what HE said on oscar

It would be awesome if there were more for each character and it played them randomly.
Anyways, soundboards are always awesome... thanks for taking the time to make and post.
Yeah, thats how the iphone app works, it switches up the TWSS!
Ok, by request, I will be putting it in where each character has numerous at random That's what she said(twss). I have the rest of the week off, maybe I will set it up so it's a tick box option or something like that. Thanks for the suggestion and the interest.
Sorry everyone. I got food poisoning Thursday morning. I have been out of commission since then. It was crazy, hospital visit and IV and such. Anyways, I will be working on the suggestions over the weekend. Thanks for all the support.

Android Developer Challenge 2 App

If you don't already know google released a ADC2 app to download submitted apps and review/rate them. Anyone get any good apps from it?

bump. its hard to believe no one cares about this.

I could care less about GOOGLE and their challenges now to be honest. After what happened with Cyanogen. Pssh..

If you "could care less", why are you not taking part? Oh.. because you mean "couldn't care less".
Yeah what happened to Cyanogen sucks, but I wish everyone would stop acting so childish about it. He was wrong. End of story. Move on with life. It's not like it's really that difficult to get the things back in anyway.
I've been judging apps for this all day. Come by a few good ones but most are not that original really. I've been checking the ADC2 website every day waiting for them to announce the judging app release. Can't believe it's out and they didn't even post it on there.

This perversion of the popular axiom irritates the hell out of me too.
Anyway, has anyone actually been issued any decent apps for review? I saw an ADC2 version of Spreadsheet and that's about it. Kinda disappointed in the deluge of kinda 'meh' apps.
Let's keep this thread on topic.
Both of you look slow, because I SAID I could care less, and I MEANT what I said. Never said I wasn't going to compete.
@g1-evolve stop jackin the thread
I haven't gotten a single good app. In fact they are all crap.

I uninstalled it after a few days. Nothing good came across. Extremely disappointing. That seems to be the trend this week.
I got Ping2Locate, which was kind of cool but not really original. That's the best of what I received so far. There was a book library but the scanner just continually took pictures until it found a bar code rather than waiting until one was present in the way BCScanner & ShopSavvy do.
Then there was the endless stream of crap.
One of the most pointless I got was this "unique new media interface". Sounded exciting. It actually turned out to be almost insulting, considering the prize money on offer. It was 4 images taking up a quater of the screen each. One was a season. Pressing changed the image to represent a different season. Another one (I can't even remember what the image was) began to play music and spin the images around. The other two were labelled "M" and "V" which just looked on your SD card for music or video.
Seems like I would have had a good chance at winning if I'd just submitted Hello World.
I guess now I know why they never bothered to announce on the ADC2 site that the judging app was available...

I would have voted it all 5's considering the crap we were seeing.
There're some good apps in there, come on !
I run PrankDialer.com, and have an app in the ADC2 running right now - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1rFJDnXw4Ew
Yeah, I was using it since sunday, hoping that I'd be able to try some really exciting apps.
Instead I got loads of junk apps, games, even one who's description was 'create user table'. I'm hoping that in the later rounds that they will have been filtered out.

Want Words With Friends on Android? Try WordFeud!

I just saw this game on another site and decided to give it a try since it's free. I've been want Words With Friends or a decent clone for awhile. Wordwise Pro just doesn't fit the bill. So far WordFeud is great given it's really new.
http://wordfeud.com/
PS: I'm not getting paid to promote this. It's just really fun and I'd though I'd share.
Add me if you want to play. My ID is Snapshotx
Awesome! I have been looking for something like this. Thanks so much. Just started playing you, username is Foobu.
Thanks for the recommendation! I have been missing "Words with Friends"
Anyone can add me for a game as well. My ID is dweebs0r.
wioooow this is the most exciting day I have ever had work my captivate, please people just uninstall word wize loool, that's is it,this is actually better than words with friends, all it needs is sounds, and an option to pay for a add free version, if they make this a cross platform words with friends is going to be yesterdays news
The reason I want words with friends is so that I can play with my fiancee on her iPhone.
tell get to get a android then you can be reunited with word feud again lol
Having alot of problems staying connected
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App
its been working flawless for me and all my friends maybe its your network or something
my mistake, yes it isn't working at all now, even there website is down, seams like words with friends bought them out lol
Back up and working
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App
Been playing it with my coworker since this morning, lol... Btw, is there a way to resign even if it's not your turn yet?
yes, this is MUCH better than WordWize - almost exactly like WWF.... if anyone is up for a game, feel free to invite me: Aftashok is the name.
man I used to LOVE words with friends on my iPhone. Thanks so much for sharing this!!!
If anyone wants to play just add: smeltn
i wish the game would incorporate a ratings system and win/loss records..... the competitive me wishes for such things.
Wish there was at least a paid version to get rid of ads, hopefully that will come cause i dont mind paying a dollar to support the developer on this, pretty good so far and the people over at WWF probably wont release anything for a while. Thought that games that were won/lost didnt go away but apparently they do after 2 days, needs to be sooner than that or user removable.
Name: hollaholla
Sweet!
Mine is TexUS.
It'd be nice if WWF would show up on here though so I can play with iPhone people.
This game uses a lot of data, like 1MB in 1 Minute.
Is there anyway to stop it from using data when you're not in a WiFi area?
thanks for the heads up...
awesome game...
PS: not to thread-jack, but has anyone found a good boggle clone out there... with randomly oriented letters like the real game?

check out wordup. it's a "boggle-like" game.
on topic, word feud is fun. checking out how much batt. it takes with the push notification and multiple games. add me for games: funthony.
I gave this a try a few weeks ago, after using WordWise for 2 months...and I wasn't a big fan. The lack of a paid version, updates, and stat tracking was kind of a deal breaker.
WordWise was admittedly spartan when it first came out...but the developer updates the app fairly regularly, so I think I'mma stick with that one...until it gets abandoned or WordFeud updates. Heh.

Great new Android game!

There's a great new Android game in the market called Hungry MonstR. It's a very well put together game with a lot of replayablity and it has a level of polish similar to Angry Birds.
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.blowfishstudios.games.hungrymonstr
looks fun, but it also looks like it is better played on a tablet.
Hi there. I'm one of the developers of Hungry MonstR.
Just wanted to let you know the game has been modified to work best with both phones and tablets. The Monsters are scaled up for the smaller devices so they are easier to grab.
Most game testing was done on Nexus One and iPhone 3GS and we think the game is enjoyable on all capable devices. It's easiest to play with 2 thumbs on the phone compared to the tablet.
Hope you enjoy the game!
Cheers,
Blowfish Studios.
THanks for the heads up, I'll download it later today before work.
Now um I'm just wondering if I can meet Nichole

Not sure why it would, this isn't a "free apps" only section.
I'll be purchasing it later to try it out, thanks dev.

Whoa there, no pirating is going on here.
It's a topic on an app for android, with a valid market link, and a simple discussion.
It's even posted in the right section.
Edit: lol
Lol... I don't see anything wrong with this thread...
Anyways, I will definitly check into it pretty soon. Is there a lite/ad version for phones or do we just gotta like what we see in the video? Either way, I love games with polish that run nice and smoothly, and it looks good... so I'm sure I'll be trying it.

I thought I read that on here. My bad.
Looks like some of us at Blowfish Studios might be in LA this year for E3 Expo
No plans at the moment for a lite/ad version as we feel its very cheap as it is. Plus we have had very limited success with ads on the iOS platform. Still we understand that the Android platform may be different and we will keep our eyes on the market.
One thing we will do is release a free app that determines if a persons device is capable of running our games. At the moment we are using hardware filtering, but I believe that is cutting out some devices which could actually work with the games.
Cheers
