Installing Super Mario World for the tilt

I would really like to play Super Mario world on my Tilt, sadly, i know nothing about roms or anything of that sort.
I did find an Snes emulator (http://www.derok.net/emulation0/snes.html) and Super Mario World (http://www.derok.net/emulation0/supermarioworld.html) I just have no idea how to install this onto my phone.
Any help would be appreciated.
where does it say it can be played on a mobile phone?
what you want to do is install a game boy advanced emulator for the mobile phone(Morphgear, pocketgba, etc).
I recall super mario world being ported to the gba, so with a little search you should be able to find it.

MorphGear has an SNES plugin. I play Super Punch-Out!! almost every day at work.

I'll second it. I like playing ROMs on my 8525 a lot more than the Tilt (because of the location of the IE and messaging buttons). I beat all of Alladin on the way to a basketball tournament keeping me busy on the bus.
morphgear and the snes freezes up my tilt every time i try to exit it. i downloaded the .cab from spicypixel.com, perhaps it was an outdated version?
are you able to play snes games smoothly with the sound enabled on the tilt? I know I was never able to but that was before a video driver cab was released. Does it make a difference?

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

PocketGBA

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?

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)

Has someone tried emulators on X1 ?

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

I haven't done any special tweaks. Just the regular stuff.
Haven't tried morphgear but pocket gba is slow

[Q] NFS shift: steering issue, any G-sensor emulation?

Hi everyone, NFS shift is a best ever racing game for X1, however, this game require G-sensor for steering. As there is no G-sensor on X1, so it become unplayable.
Is there any G-sensor emulation app to use Dpad as G-sensor, so that we can play this game?

There is no such thing as G-Sensor emulation, either your phone has a G-sensor or it doesn't. I actually have this game with onscreen controls Pm me.

So I got a chance to try the 100mb version of NFS Shift and turns out the version I have is older, the 100mb one looks completely different. I've been searching but could not find one with onscreen controls yet.
Hi Viper89, thanks for your reply. Discovered that the HTCSensor service will mislead the game that X1 have G-sensor, once it is removed then the game will able to run with keyboard for steering & drift.
Now the game can play but the GPU seem not powerful enough to run smoothly, sigh.

Nice find, how do I find this HTCSensor service and remove it?
Simply remove the files: smiHapticsServer_1.dll and SmiSensorServer_1.dll from windows directory. Now you can play the game by pressing j and k for left and right and d for drift.

You can find them in \Windows directory but they are hidden so you have to use total commander instead of file explorer.

cool controle works with J & K
its a little bit laggy on my xperia x1 with 672 mhz. does someone knows if it works better with another graphic driver?
thx
Hi Bro how did you make this working with keyboard.
I did not find those files which have to delete.
Please tell me how is going to work
Thanks in advance

emulators on classicnerd?

i'm having a hard time with emulators on classic nerd .3se. i have yet to make anything play on fpse or snes. it is a problem pertaining to something with the rom or am i just doing something wrong?
the emulators open. the games open, then crash. worked on xron cm7.
any1 have fpse working on classic nerd?
i don't think its hard question. any1 have fpse working?
Don't know about that rom, but with cm9 . 6 fpse works okay, but the audio is crackly. The N64 emulator works better than it did on cm7, snes, nes, and gameboy emulators are all solid. Six axis app is working perfectly to boot.
Could not get FPSE to work until I used a different GPU plugin. Haven't tried it with SNES emulators yet.
I went back to CM9 specifically because of the "games" issue, though. Classicnerd is a great ROM, but not exactly what I need.
