In this topic we will discuss about console/platform emulators compatible with Touch Pro.
So far I got these working on the TP:
- PicoDrive
- FinalBurn
- Genesis Plus by n0p (you can achieve better framerate with PicoDrive - but far away from smooth gameplay)
- PocketSNES by n0p (better for SNES, but far away from smooth gameplay)
- PocketSNES by masterall
The emulator were tested with sound.
Performance tests (more to come?)
- Picodrive (Sonic 3): HTC Tornado (SPV C600) vs HTC TOuch PRo.
More information about poor touch pro graphics performance can be found here.
--- OLD POST ---
I've also tried PocketSNES without succes (black screen when trying to load a ROM), PocketNester Plus (program exits after loading a ROM)
Haven't checked yet:
- FPSCe (playstation emulator)
- MorphGear (multi-console: NES, Sega, GBA)
- PocketScumm
You may check this guide.
Please post here your experience with emulators on TP. Also, you may post link to workable emulators and I will update the first post.
I Tried finalburn, can load ROMs with it, plays perfect, but on the same time are unplayble, due that the keyboard maps the same (OE) key on all.
Still haven't found a fix for this. Do you know of one?
For the fix try this. If the arrow keys are inversed, just map:
- Up: left key
- Down: right key
- Left: down key
- Right: up key
Ah, one note, on PicoDrive you must select "Fast renderer" because the poor redraw issue of the device, otherwise you will get full of annoying vertical delays. Anyway, at this point emulation is better (fluid) on my good old Tornado overclocked at 252Mhz than on touch pro (tested Sonic 3 with PicoDrive) .
I've been using the Gameboy Color emulator PocketGnuboy v1.21 with the KforTouchPro 1.0.0.3 keyboard fix. It runs well when set to 160x144 with sound enabled. I've noticed that Frame Skip has to be set at Auto or else the phone crashes after a bit.
Scummvm works and looks fantastic on TP only issue i had was that i couldn't map keys to the qwerty keyboard, but most games where still very playable, even COMI worked for a while!
Hope that helps
using morphgear gbc module with the fix by dilta.. works very smoothly
For an SNES emulator, use n0p's:
http://n0p.tonych.info/?PocketSNES
You have to use portrait right mode without the stretch, which puts that ugly controller skin on the screen. If you do portrait right mode with the stretch all the roms just glitch out. Also, there's no sound. Other than that, games tend to run smoothly (although I've come across a few that just don't work). Still need the KforTouch fix though.
Also, in your main thread you said Morphgear supports GBA, but from what I've seen it only supports GBC. I was able to get PocketGBA to work:
http://sunbug.net/attachements/download/9
However, I haven't found any way to put the emulator in the correct display mode for using the hardware keyboard, so I was stuck using the sucky directional pad on the Touch Pro with the touch screen keys. But, it works like a charm.
Alot of complains about the TP i cant seem to fit any of the complains here on my device v 1.90.409.6
1:You have to use portrait right mode without the stretch, which puts that ugly controller skin on the screen. If you do portrait right mode with the stretch all the roms just glitch out! >-->> i play it perfectly on my TP with sound and in ladscape mode with the keyboard to play with no need to use the skin i use pocketsnes 1.52!
2: Ah, one note, on PicoDrive you must select "Fast renderer" because the poor redraw issue of the device! >-->> i use picodrive and cant see any redraw issue on my phone also need to limit fps to 50-60 to get the games run perfect or they run too fast!
the only redraw issue i get is in opera browser! IE work greate without the redraw...so im not sure why my device dont get the other problem on emulators..and for the key settings use (shift left) (ctrl left) (tab left) and (q or a) for the r1 and l1 buttons on the snes use the volume keys its alot playable then for emulators i recommend is PocketSnes 1.52 (super nintendo) PicoDrive 0.52 (sega genesis) PocketGba Rel 060723 (gameboy advance) fpsece (playstation slow yeat but some games you get 30fps+) PocketNesterPlus 0.9 (nintendo) FinalBurn 0.011 (arcade) is some of the emus i recommend for you and all this emulators i can run at landscape for a note hope this help some!

You must be using those emulators without sound? That's the only way you're going to get 100% speed. I've used every one of those emulators you've mentioned, and I haven't been able to get full speed on any one using landscape mode with the hardware keyboard.
@Quake3000, I can record a video if you don't believe me. Try a fast action game such as Sonic 3 & Knukles.
... And the redraw issue si present not only in opera. Just see my videos from here (i've done a test with IE too). Maybe you just don't feel it.. try with other sites . Anyway, we are kinda offtopic here. We can contine the discussion in the appropiate topic specified above.
@kevingilbert thanks for the links, I will try them ASAP and update my first post. I haven't tried yet MorphGear, but on this page GBA is also mentioned..
@0llyTouchPro have you tried KforTouchPro?
@at10ti0n thanks !. any other experience?

Need to get my nokia N95 back from the care center first. then il use that to record with since my video camera died this summer after a very big fall from mountain there the plan was to film when i was mountain climbing:/

I'm amazed. And I'm almost certain it can't be true. I'm running the stock Sprint firmware. With sound I can only run 100% speed with jittery movement due to all the frame skipping. I'll have to await your video.
DSF I'd like to thank you for making this thread, I'm a gamer, and I really wanna know how the Touch Pro compares to the tilt in gaming. The tilt cant play any emulators without lagging or needing to disable sound.
One main concern I have is, does the TP have the same touchscreen bug that the tilt had? the one that when you held down the touchscreen it would lag horribly? best way to tell is map the onscreen buttons in finalburn and see if it starts lagging.
speaking of finalburn, what roms have you tried and how was the peformance?

Hey Mikeeey,
Good to see you on this forum. I'd only ever seen you post on Modaco.
Unfortunately, there's always a little lag on finalburn - even when using the software keyboard. Final Fight plays pretty good. CPS2 games (like D&D) I tried are a little more annoying. The big neo geo games also have some slowdown.
Actually, Mikeeey - your request made me find out something VERY interested. I just played D&D Tower of Doom and tried the screetap for the first time ever.
Using screentap instead of the action buttons - lag goes away altogether! I couldn't believe it and had to go through several fight scenes to prove it. Everytime I press a button on the keyboard in a fast action scene, the game stalls for a fraction of a second. If I do the same with a screen tap - there's no stall - it's just as fast as my 6700.
I think it's an issue of the program that we have to run in the background. I wish there was a fix for this, but HTC screwed up the keyboard setting such that without the background program - we can't map keys.
I've gotta say this is exciting, I played a few other games - and if we solved this, emulation on the touch pro would be near perfect.
Not sure why he says PokketNester doesn't work. Works perfectly for me.

hey PolloLoco nice to see you here too! well if you look at my post count youl see I've actually been here for quite some time lol. How long have you been here?
I had no idea you got a Touch Pro, thats awesome! I thought you had verizon? isnt the verizon version not out yet? if it is what do they call it? I'm recommending it to my friend who has verizon.
how much lag is a little lag? On my tilt it was so bad, if i tried playing metal slug with sound it would slow down and the sound would be skippy cuz it was lagging.
wow... so.. they fixed the screen bug..but now there are button bugs?? Idk which is worse.. Well hopefully there will be a fix for the button mapping issue and the buttons slowing down the game. Have you flashed to a custom rom?
I noticed the TP has less buttons for games in portrait mode. It doesnt have the left and right softkey.. am I correct?
have you played in finalburn games that were in portrait mode, like those verical air shooter games? DonPachi for example?
Could someone try DoomGLES on the TouchPro?
I would have when I went to play with the Fuze at the AT&T store but the guy had to grab one from the back and he watched me as I played with it, waiting for me to give it back so he could put it back in the box.
I've 100% discovered that any slowdown with games on the touch pro - is 100% due to lag from the keyboard. It may not even be the background program "Kfortouchpro". Some users have reported that they have keyboard lag when typing - UNTIL they flash to a new rom (GSM version). I hope there's a similar fix for the CDMA version. Then it may be reasonable to use this phone for gameplay with the keyboard.
What I did to test this was by digging up (it took hours) my old smartphone bluetooth joystick. I installed the program (told it it was an HTC Magician) and then mapped the joystick buttons to the very few hardware keys that register. By the way - on the keyboard, up down left and right map independently without k for touch pro - and there's apparently no lag.
Once I'd mapped to the hardware keys, I started playing Finalburn. It played awesome. Almost 100% speed. On some high speed action shootemups (shocktroopers 2) - I saw a little slowdown. That said, I'm picky about emulation, and I have no concerns about recommending Finalburn on the touchpro. It's beautiful, great speed, and it looks and sounds great on the VGA screen and speakers.
I then tried Picodrive - and it worked just as well! The difficult and jittery gameplay I had before, were purely from the keyboard lag. I'm happy - and I'm still hopeful I can connect my phone to the tv and play games from my couch on the bluetooth joystick. However, I'm expecting serious slowdown due to tv out.
Mikeeey, to answer 2 of your questions. I'd heard about Verizon's initial plans to issue a crippled touch pro - slower processor and half the ram - for the same price. So I sent a complaint e-mail, wondering why it wouldn't make sense to switch to Sprint. I never got a reply. So I decided to switch to Sprint. It makes sense for me - the same unlimited data plan is at least $15 cheaper than Verizon's and I haven't had any coverage issues since I got this phone 3 weeks ago.
The Verizon phone, since many user complaints - may not be as crippled as originally planned. The latest rumors I've heard were that the Verizon XV6850 will have almost the same processor and 192 megs of RAM as opposed to the 256 of the Sprint Touch Pro. Early leaks suggested that the Verizon prototype is a touch slower. We'll see.
Mikeeey - the vertical shooters you're suggesting would stink on this phone that way. The optical joystick and surrounding buttons stink. Very often you press one direction (they're connected) and the next direction registers. So it's not very accurate and I try not to use it. For a vertical shooter I'd either use the direction buttons on the pull out keyboard (they work as I mentioned) and the 3 front face buttons that register.
well im glad you discovered the problem, I'm glad to know it's fast!
ah yes, the speakers, how are they? louder than the 6700 and kaiser? does it have good sound quality?
So I assume you use the arrow keys on the keyboard then, isnt that difficult considering you cant easily go from 1 key to the next or press 2 at the same time. For example trying to press right and up at the same time? on my Tilt if I try to do that I end up pressing "enter" as well.
damn.. vertical shooters are my favorite.. does the D-pad actually "click" or is it touch buttons? I didnt have enough time to figure it out when I played with it. and is there a single softkey button on the device anywhere?
the other day i paid for and downloaded the nes emulator, i was playing around with it and realised that i couldnt play games really as i dont have a keyboard like the G1.
also with this problem, when playing cestos i cant talk as im playing from my HTC MAGIC and have no keyboard. do we no of any one that is going to be fixing these problems
thank you in advance
Hello,
From my experience (which is some what limited mind you, haha) ScummVM works very well with the HTC Magic. I have a Vodafone HTC Magic (black) and had Broken Sword 1 running perfectly. Obviously most other games will not work as well given the lack of hardware keyboard - but point and click adventure games are no problems with the touch screen/trackball! Also, the ScummVM app is free from the Market last time I checked.
Hope this helps!
It seems the magic requires a vitual keyboard. Also, as the magic is capacitive, that would mean that it's essentially multi touch capable (even if google haven't capitalized on it yet), so theoretically, it should be possible to get that virtual keyboard running with multiple buttons pressed at the same time. As far as I can see, the Sapphire(magic) is a rather new phone, so these things just take a little time to come from the developers.
Caid.

i belice in cestos you can chat by pressing menu->show keyboard

Yeah, it works. But some point and click, like broken sword 2, monkey island 3, need a right mouse click (inventory) to continue playing. Also no buttons to save the game.
So ScummVM is good, but with some games not. I hope they fix this soon.
There are a couple of experimental multi touch apps appearing in the market for use on rooted phones running certain firmwares. Hopefully we'll start seeing this being implemented into emulators soon. I'd be more than willing to pay £5 for a decent Megadrive emulator with multitouch control.
You never know, maybe we'll get official multi touch in Donut... or Eclair... maybe Flan? Please?!
There is a game boy/game boy colour app called kidd GBC. You have to pay for it but it uses an on screen keyboard (well an a and a b button that you press on screen) and you use the trackerball on the phone to move about. It works quite well and is one of the first emulators i've seen that has a basic on screen keypad implemented.
Finding games isn't easy tho.
The guys over at http://www.supergnes.com/index.php are working on the bomb snes emulater that will supposedly eventually support touchscree/multi-touch/trackball.
Theres a slew of myTouch 3G users coming down the pike, lets hope they start getting support.
ggNES is the BOSS! it allows u to set onscreen arrows and buttons, but i use volume up down for a b and the screen for the arrows cuz without multi touch its hard to put both on the screen.... hopefully donut should fix that!
Been using Nesoid for NES games and Gensoid for Megadrive games, both have on screen D-pads and you can map the buttons to correspond to A/B etc..
Works really well, really like it, tons and tons of roms out there. Been playing Altered Beast on the megadrive emulator and Mario and Zelda on the Nes one!
I've got it down now.
Please go buy this new emulator is blows Nesoid out of the water. It is called ggNES. The lite version isn't a good impression to be honest. It uses the trackball, the volume keys, etc and you can't map the keys.
I bought the full version and I've got the FPS's up to 115!!!!
Sound is a lot better
Just will take a few to get use to.
A lot of comments are badgering the app but they're just foolish I haven't seen a better emulator yet!
"FC" = Family Computer (commonly called by its shortened name "Famicom") home video game console in Japan but in the US it's called "NES".
Have yet to use the emulator so I can't help you there.
I got the lite version and i can map the keys just fine!
-BMFC
I just don't like how it scans my files when it starts looking for Roms. I have all my Roms in a folder with Subfolders so it should let you tell it where to look opposed to going scan happy.
I haven't really tested it other than that so far.
The sound and totally fullscreen is better than nesoid. However, the screen is pixelated. Nesoid looks more filtered. The colors are off on ggnes. People are getting high fps but frame skip of 2 is imposed at a minimum. Its choppy.

I'd suggest just playing around with it, turn off the high def.
And you can disable that rom search just tinker around with it.
Its not hard.
I prefer nesoid. Things I do not like:
Lists entire directory path
Odd screen dimensions (how is this better than Nesoid?)
No turbo option
Things I like:
Nice options, but screen options odd. Either squished on sides or top and bottom.
Frame rates show plus 60, but do not seem so. Besides, anything above 60hz is pointless with games designed for 50fps (PAL) or 60fps (NTSC).
The effort is appreciated and will be real good if noted issues are corrected. Since there already is a good NES emu. Perhaps time would be better spent on GBC, SMS, Game Gear and Turbgrafx?
actually this is runnin good.. u can change ur keys, i had it for 2 days and it updated twice ahh back in 4th grade memories
Lol I think it will more support for it will cause better emus later on. I think its better then Nesoid. I really like how you can key map and I like the fps running faster then 60.
I want to see a SNES emu from him so I can key map for portrait and play some good RPGS like Breath of Fire and Chrono Trigger.
Like every device has this now just thought I'd bring it over to help out my armv6ers lol anyways these were all tested on my SGY how u like them
1.Requires root: This 1 is a screen recorder for armv6 phones it's the only screen recorder I found that works with armv6 it's called

Hello,
Samsung Gear VR is a game changer for personal media enjoyment.
Not only Virtual Reality that most people might not be interested in it but mainly watching movies in a true cinema theater environment.
lately, hostesses or nearby passengers used to alert me that the plane has landed and that people are out already while i'm enjoying the movie.
i never enjoyed traveling like this before.
the issue with the Gear VR, is head motion tracking, which is a great feature when you are on your couch or chair, but when the airplane or train or car are moving, this becomes annoying because you have to continuously re-align / re-orient screen.
i tried many solutions like disabling the gear service or avoiding inserting the note 4 in the gear usb plug, but then cardboard traditional software like AAA VR, side-by-side player, Kodi, and others didn't function normally like they do on a normal cardboard. in addition to that, the Gear VR cinema is an experience they can't ever beat.
i'm dreaming of a solution that will disable head tracking when on airplane.
"An airplane mode for Samsung Gear VR".
It would be nice if there was a Fixed view option to avoid this. Seems a kind of obvious option IMO.
Not sure I could use one of these in public places (planes too) since do not like being that out of sync with what is around me.
What about selecting the last cinema in the menu? Not the theater, not the moon, but the last one on the right I can't remember its name. I think it has the image fixed and it doesn't depend on your head movement
Keep pushing
It's called Void mode
For movie watching, some Chinese version vr glasses is better than gear vr.

what you want is "cmoar virtual cinema" (avaiable in the app store). its the only non-oculus cinema that actually is on the same level (and in some ways a lot more powerful) as mr. carmacks masterpiece. the only thing that is a lot worse is the precision of the head tracking, which is the usual cardboard jitterfest - but then, you want a head tracking free cinema, and cmoar virtual cinema lets you completely disable any head tracking in its settings.
be prepared though that a complete lack of head tracking also feels a bit odd. im not sure, but i think id rather deal with the occasional screen reorienting than with a fixed screen in front of me. after all, the only time where its really that much of an issue is when the plane starts and lands, and the occasional fly route readjustment. same for cars, once youre on the highway, while you dont always go in a straight line (which you very much do on the plane), you still keep going in roughly the same direction and can just follow the screen a bit.
maybe you like the fixed one better. having used both options, im kind of divided (but still recommend the cmoar cinema, be it only because of the other 346974634 features i wish the oculus cinema had). i guess the only real solution is long term, where headsets may track your orientation not only absolute but also relative to your body. you know, when that whole hand recognition thing gets big and all that

Agreed with Cmoar. It has more codec support, Youtube 2D/3D support and video LAN streaming. Worth the $7 IMO. I also use with a generic VR unit since the app has barrel and FOV adjustments.
It makes the Oculus effort so far seem very shallow, but Oculus wants to control content as much as possible, so of course no streaming LAN or Youtube in Oculus They are hoping people are too lazy to copy content on the device themselves. Perhaps a future update will stop that.....
yes, the oculus approach of trying to create a confined ecosystem is starting to get a bit annoying. doesnt go well with the whole early adopters vibe of VR at the moment. i truly think they need to open this up, but since theres not much outrage from users about this, this will probably never happen.
shame how times have changed, and how people got used to what once was something only apples IOS dared to do to its users.
just think about it, for the very same reason, we will probably never have the wonderful cmoar cinema running as a real oculus app. which is a real shame, cause the featureset of that cinema is truly mighty impressive. i love the oculus cinema for its smoothness and quality of craftsmanship, but in terms of features, it doesnt hold a candle to cmoar. cmoar is truly better in every regard except the usual cardboard app jitter (for which i blame the underlying google VR framework).
meh. not an ideal situation. i dont mind the whole early adopters thing. but to combine that with the restricted nature of a closed ecosystem from day one is really a huge letdown. i fully understand the motives behind it and would happily go with that, but thats a move you can make once you have lots and lots and lots of content, but not in these early stages IMO.
