Is the Artemis any good with emulators for consolegames, arcadegames and such? I'm just thinking that the clockspeed of the Artemis isn't really up to par with what is needed for most emulators.
I'm going to download the ScummVM later today to relive those glorious days of lucasarts adventure games.
But I was also thinking of downloading something like Morphgear. But as I've gathered Morphgear is discontinued. Some of the modules became open source, while others remain commercial (i.e. you have to pay for them). I'd really like to know if GBA games can be played in a decent way on the Artemis. Games like fire emblem, final fantasy tactics and such...
Also, can anyone PM me a link to a site with the game files for scummvm-games. I have bought these games on my Amiga500 back in the day and I can't imagine why i would have to pay for these games all over again, just to play them on my PDA. They should just release these games for free use so we can all enjoy these gems.

generally the Artemis can run the games, the problem comes when you want to control them! the buttons dont make the greatest game pads...
Monkey Island rules haha! I've you're interested I can PM you Monkey Island 1 + 2. I'm to trying to complete the game without a WWalkthrough but it's just too hard hehe
That would be awesome. I'm betting i'll find it harder to complete it this time round to when I was 13-14 and used to playing this kind of point and click adventure games all the time. I'm gonna look and see if i can find: Sam & Max, Loom, Full Throttle, Indiana Jones, Maniac Mansion...(i'm guessing that Grim Fandango isn't playable on ScummVM).
Which coincidentally brings me to another loved series of mine back in the day...Police Quest (and also King's Quest, Space Quest, Leisure Suit Larry...). Is there an emulator out there that allows you to play these games???
=> I found a program called PocketSarien, but the latest build i found was for pocket pc 2000!! anything else out there?
Does anyone know if this build of morphgear will run on the Artemis:
Morphgear Windows Mobile - Download Version 2.4.0.9
Pocket PC devices with the Intel XScale processor. This includes devices such as the Dell Axim X5 Advanced, Dell Axim X3, and HP iPAQ 2215.
The Artemis doesn't feature said processor, so I'm curious if it can run on it.
Hey, Which version of ScummVM works on the Artemis? i'm guessing its gonna be "Windows CE ARM package" from http://www.scummvm.org/downloads.php#stable .
cheers
You're right. It's the ARM Package. I have it installed and running since yesterday.
There's a great topic about ScummVM and its games on their forum:
http://forum.scummvm.org/viewtopic.php?p=24519&sid=69406681e9cf5636123d019c275c6c5d
Even though it explains everything in detail, I just can't seem to get Lure of the Temptress working (free download on ScummVM site). I wrote the files to a specified folder on my storage card (called ScummVMGames) and when I start up ScummVM and it asks me if it should automatically scan for games, it finds nothing, even when I manually redirect it to the folder where I stored the game.
Any help would be greatly appreciated...as well as sending me some games

ok cool thanks i'll see if i can get the game to work...
Downloaded Flight Of The Amazon Queen and this one works as a charm. Very nice to play this type of games again. That absurd sense of humour found in games like Monkey Island is also present in this one and I absolutely love it. Wonder if Discworld will be playable...
Can somebody recommend me RPG games that work @ full screen resolution, many thanks!!!
I would like this to.. someone got any suggestions?
although i still do not own blackstone i did som research and there is to be a fallout fullscreen for this baby

pocket fallout is only qvga!
sadly, there are only a few games that work at full wvga resolution....I've seen one RPG which is called onris(just forgot the name), it seems quite a nice game, but the resolution is only for vga i guess, and most rpg games running at Java platform are also unsuitable for touch hd...is there any tool that can resize java game's resolution?
I've also installed morphgear which is an emulator for NES, gb, gba..etc., but the fps of gba's rpg games that running at morphgear is quite low, especially, when you turn the sound on, you will find the quality is extremely poor..

Thanks for telling me that, I've already got it, and it works for me but as this tool resize the resolution, half of my screen is blank while gaming, that's looks a little bit wierd to me
lynne can you give me a link to this RPG game (onris or something you was saying as you forgot the name lol)..
Also this morphgear Emulator ... does this work with the g-sensor then? or you need the D-Pad program thing

sure, the rpg that I mentioned is: Orions: Legend of Wizards v1.20
you can have it from here: http://pocketmoregames.com/orions.htm
but this is not freeware so u gotta either try it or buy it for full version gaming play
btw, before u try this game, u'd better have wvga fix pre-installed, cos u need change your resolution to vga through it, otherwise u will encounter display problem
on the other hand, regarding to the emulator - Morphgear
it's has modules below:
1, SNES9x MorphModule
Emulates the Super Nintendo Entertainment System (SNES).
2, HuGo MorphModule
Emulates the TurboGrafx-16 / PC-Engine.
3, Generator MorphModule
Emulates the SEGA Genesis.
4, Marat Fayzullin MorphModule Package:
Includes MasterGear, VGB, VGBA, iNES (SEGA MasterSystem, GameBoy Color, GameBoy Advance, NES).
you can find it here:
http://www.spicypixel.com/web/page/morphgear/Download.aspx
installation order:
1, morphgear
2, rest of its modules
and also, you need pay for it in order to unlock those modules after the application is installed. (you don't have to install third party application to run game at morphgear)
and this tool allows you to change screen size of your game and many other useful options, but as i said, it's kinda low fps especially when you turned sounds on (gba rpg game - final fantasy 6 tested)
if you ask me how to get most from it, there are many 'suggestions' around the net, that's the only thing that i can say haha

hey, maybe u can try wvga fix, and set the resolution to vga and see if there is any difference?
yeah i tried it and actually works when vga is set, however, you need the stylus to play and besides the very poor english text there are some textured texts in russian no go for me at the moment.
it WORKS anyway.
actually, there are bunches of good RPG games out there if Morphgear is working fine for me, but since the low fps that I've encounterred, I finally gave it up...but I'm just wondering if there is anyone else got the same problem?
does anyone know of any compatible vga emulator (nes, snes, psx, gen, etc) for the tp2. i tried pocketnester but its so old it does rotate to landscape when you play so you cant really use the keyboard. just lookin for something newer to work with, something thats still being updated.
Could this be what you are looking for:

you want this if you have TP2...
http://www.bitbanksoftware.com/private/smartgear.zip
youll want morphgear for SNES and GBA
FPSeCE for works with the TP2. It's a playstation emulator. They are supposed to have a new version out soon with full support for WVGA and with much better framerates but right now alot of games are still playable just alittle slow. Find version .096beta on the net and use it. Make sure you start the program with the keyboard already out and you won't have any problems. Select GAPI as the GFX Driver(It works the best). There website is www.fpsece.net.
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.
If someone has installed the full version of this mame port can tell me if he can play in landscape mode?
I can play in portrait mode but when i switch to landscape the screen turn black and i can only hear the sound of the game.
Only buying this emu was a pain in the ass because the market return a unspecified server error, and now that i buy it from pc, i can't enjoy the full potential of this app.
I wish that some devs with the balls will port the real mame on android!
Hi sar3vok!
I tried the full version and it works flawlessly! It is as good as MAME4Droid.
Maybe you should try MAME4Droid (it´s free) and see if it is working Ok on your S2 as I have a Neo
You can find more info about MAME emulators on my blog: http://retro-android.blogspot.com.es/
