Anyone tried any of the Console Emulators? - Desire General

Has any of our proud Desire owners tried some of the Console Emulators off the Market?
Specifically SNesoid, GameBoid, Gensoid, Gearoid, Nesoid, CPS2HD?
I just wondered if anyone had tested them out on the Desire and if they work ok?
Anyone fancy making some videos and sharing them?
These will be among the first Apps I download from the Market when I get my Desire.

Have tried both Nesoid and Snesoid.
They both work full speed with the mario games! Tried Super Mario 1 on nesoid, and had a bit of trouble with the pad and buttons, because I think it doesn't 'line up' correctly on the screen. Multitouch also works.
I had more luck with Snesoid and Super Mario All-stars, which worked nicely. Colours went funny at 'game selection' screen, but ingame was good, and registered button presses were accurate. I think its very playable with some getting used to.
I really want SCUMMVM to be released for Android 2.1, but its not available yet

Nice, .. have you tried other things other than super mario ?, .. btw is there a PS1 emulator for android, i know that there is one for the WM, not sure about android.
I think if there is it will be spectacular, specially with the powerful hardware the Desire has

Working GBA emulator for WinMo 6.1?

I tried downloading the last updated Pocket GBA and it does not work on my TP2. Don't know if it's just plain outdated or not compatible for 6.1. Does anyone know a good working gameboy advance emulator for the TP2/WinMo 6.1?
No one has a working gba emulator?
bumpppppppp
Anyone? Bump
What version of pocketGBA did you download, keep in minde it wont play GB or GBC games.
You could try running WVGAFix to set a lower resolution.

Sorry, I do not remember the exact version #, but it was the most recent update from Sunbug.net. I realize it only plays GBA games, but the loading the rom isnt the problem, it's just the emulator itself.
bumpppppppppp
PocketGBA works on my phone, PocketGBA rel.060526. Works with out WVGA fix, or should work. Only issues I ran into was getting the screen in the right postion. Its upsidedown and there is no option to rotate it, kind of sucks becuase zelda looked like it was running smooth.
Other then that let me know if you find a fix.
I know there has to be atleast one person that has a working GBA emulator on their Touch Pro 2.
I have a trouch pro 2 with wm 6.1 like I said I have it working however the screen in landscape is wrong and there is no way to change it.
Morphgears gba works great full screen and with keyboard support with KforTp, however its slow as hell in GDI mode.
Look here this is the only emulator that seems to work ok
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=565163
As much as a hate paying for software I might buy this, even if I think it should be free. I might if the creator speeds it up more and makes it run games smooth with sound.
On a side note does any one know how to switch the screen to portrat more while in landscape mode with out sliding the screen. On my mogul it was on the bottom but now there is nothing there because of touch flo.
Any ideas?
pocket gba don't work on my i780..what i can try??
I have Morphgear running in landscape by choosing RawFrameBuffer and using East orientation. Oddly, I use KforTP to map the buttons, but after they're mapped, I don't need to use it anymore.
SNES works great, albiet no sound (enabling sound makes the games unplayably stuttery). GBA games are so slow they are painful to play.
My question is, why did all of this emulation development get dropped four or five years ago? I wish someone would start it up again -- there are a ton of GBA games I'd love to play on the TP2.

any one tried any games on android???

ive been trying to get gameboid (gba emulator) working but nothing happens when i open a rom. are there more people who allready have tried this?????
btw are there more people who have tried playing other games on android
its a bit laggy with me but i dont know if it is because we dualboot android or it isnt perfect enough for these games
I'm coming from a G1, so I still have a few games I had already purchased. All my emulators (snes, gen, gba) run pretty slow, it was a little better with the overclocked build before the wifi was added, but no where near as smooth as it played on my G1 (smoothly with sound and no frame skip). I think once they get the OpenGL to work, it should run pretty smoothly, But for now, it's just a waiting game. Be patient.
i have download a newer version of gameboid and now it works but have to find how to set the buttons
i haven't tried any of the emulators in android (just use my WM ones still) but have some games from the market place that work pretty good Gem Miner, Crystal Light, Farm Frenzy (lags some) Portal Keeper, Settlers 3 and Spades Master Online i tried path of the warrior icommando and tankace didnt work
i can see gameboid works better then morphgear, ive more frames
i ve not that many games for android yet but labyrinth is damn laggy but maybe its because it uses g sensor
yes i tried this game labyrinth lite and its 3d game
did you also have very much lag with labyrinth ?????
Robo defense is a very entertaining tower defense game. It's probably my favorite game for Android.

[ASK] somebody tried GAMEBOID on android at tytn ii??

i'm very enjoyed play gba in tytn ii! but, the pocket gba on wm 6 is so bad. lag on tytn ii (i dont know if there was a plugin for htc perofrmance. i never found and never try )
so, how was the android? is it lag on the OS it self? and anyone has installed GAMEboid, THE GAMEBOY ADVANCE emolator on android? how is it going? really nice? or better? or bad?
i saw on youtube somebody played with htc dream. so perfect!
thx
sorry my english so bad
I haven't tried GAMEBOID, but I have used Nesoid, Gensoid, and SNESoid. Seeing as it's the same developer, can't image it working any different.
The emulators work perfectly, except that you need to remap the directional buttons, otherwise you can't perform more then 1 action at a time. I use WASD personally.
Considering how bad Genesis and Snes is on Wm 6, I'd definitely switch to Android for all you classic gaming needs. Even Nes is better, cause it sounds better. PocketNester has horrible sound emulation, but Nesoid sounds perfect.

Why don't you just boot up HaRET and try it? It doesn't take long, is simple to do, and then you'd know the answer.
Hell, you could even flash an Android ROM. If you don't like it, it's not hard to go back to WM...

I have tried it running under HaRET using an off-brand class 6 MicroSD and it works great after I set the aspect ratio to "original". However, with TyTN II (Kaiser) the original aspect ratio actually looks great IMO the size is about the same as the screen.

Games

Not heard much about games on the Desire. I've installed Gameboid (GBA Emulator) and a GBC emulator and both work perfectly on my phone with sounds. Shame they don't have multi touch!
Native games i'm not so sure about...
what do you mean by multi touch (lack of) ive used both and mega drive one and they play as they should. i find the vertical way works smoother than horizontal. I know what you mean about games although i know gameloft have a few games ie assassins creed and asphalt 5. shame i cant download them yet.
No multi-touch...I.E when i play GBC emu and GameBOID you can't press a direction and say jump at the same time using the on screen buttons.

There's a video on youtube that shows exactly that working with a Desire and Snesoid.
Cheers
But not Gameboid i'm 99% sure that doesn't work and definitely not on GBCoid.

thanks for the clarity as i know it works on gameboid and gbcoid and gensoid. tried em all. just not perfectly. I really think the touch is over sensitive. portrait mode works better for me.
Paperthrow ftw!! LOL
One game I can't put down is World War. If anyone is playing this and would like and ally, please feel free to add me on 3C4WJ4.
SNESoid works perfectly here with multitouch.
Are there any games pre-installed? What games are people finding work well on the Desire? Due to get mine shortly so just looking for the heads up. Cheers.
Abduction works well and the clone of bejewelled called "Jewels" which is free in the market is actually better than the official Bejewelled app.

Try N64oid with Super Mario 64, it works great on the Wave.
Have you tried N64 emu with Mario 64? Without sound it works so fast, but when I activate the sound, game loses speed and sound is choppy (on a Galaxy it works fine). Do you experiment the same ? Can be the sound driver? Maybe, it's not fully integrated.
@crazy4fun
i got it from a warez forum. i don't know if the emu is paid or not. Ofcourse i don't pay for apps @ this stage! And i don't know if i can post it here.
@NHS2008
ok too bad...now i have to wait atleast 1 year...(because i'm not the guy who needs a new phone every release...)
@tydem
Yep it woks pretty fine. Just tested the first level...Snes works great too and GBA also...
@lanluckez
i wil try this and give you a reply soon...
so thx you guys!
Your running Android from the Sdcard also
Android for wave runs from the SDcard rather from NAND rom so yes expect slowdowns.
Even Backstab, a gameloft 3d game which runs well on the wav 8500 with android has longer loading times compared to the galaxy s but once loaded it runs smoothly on the wave 8500.

What are you talking about?? PSX4DROID and FPSE??
They both run more than fullspeed! I never had any touchscreen issues. flawless. fully responsive. I will suggest you do a reinstall of Android.

I feel the touchscreen something like when we try to lock and its not responsive.
And its not accurate when I try to use Angry Birds.
Can you use it accuratelly? Are you using the same sources that ShadowAS1 posted or have you done something extra?

Yes. I am using the same files as in ShadowAS1's tuts. I dont have any issues what so ever (AFA touch is concerned).

Could you tell me where to download it on pc and the steps to install the games

Just search on Google dude. PSX4DROID is free for timebeing!
No need to install games, just copy the images to any folder and select them through it to play. But you will need a BIOS file of PS1. It's called 'scph1001.bin'.
Let me guess...
The NDS emu is probably Desmume port which doesn't work much on other platforms other than PC
Some guys ported it to Wii and it hardly runs simple games and can't even run properly my homebrews, so don't expect much from emulator for now
However it is still developed, so I guess it will be good someday
@xda admins
we have already an android section here in this forum this topic should be removed/deleted or something else
Move to Android section will do it
Great to hear that PSX4Droid runs smooth.
Atm I'm using an PSX emu on my iPod touch 3G but it is a little bit to slow to run smooth so I put Android on my Wave soon too, to get the PSX emu
