Emulators

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...

Prince of Persia 3D gaming demo running on TG01

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DbSygbjObQM&feature=related
this is it. the operating like spiderman for PPC.
is there any news for this game? or under deverloping?

seems quite unusable, since win mobile lacks multitouch support.. anyway it runs smooth wonder if it runs similarly on our blackstone

multi or not multi,thats not a problem. you played spiderman for blackstone? almost the same operating button. play so good.

for me, multitouch definitely matters
it seems that gba emulator on iphone support multitouch,
but with regard to our blackstone,
we can hardly to get gba emulator running smoothly,
it is very often that we get very low fps on morphgear,
and that is when sound turned off,
otherwise gba games are almost unplayable,
and that really disappointing me.......
I don't want to say this, but iphone seems obviously superior to our blackstone, they got bunches of 3rd party 3d games, which are better in graphics and controbability in comparison to wm games,
and I just seen a video on youtube, which shows they got gba running @150 fps and above....
however, the only good thing for me is that we got fpsece for wm device, which seems better to psx4iphone, but since it is not fully support to wvga in current version, we still have to wait untill version 1.0 comes out and see if there is any good update for our device, but it is still unknown.....

btw, someone mentioned that wm 7 will support multitouch for device like blackstone, it that true?
does it means that we could press any buttons for example on morphgear's gamepad simultaneously?
if so, when will wm 7 to be released?

Well about iphone and blackstone
, the main advantage/disadvantage is graphic on blackstone u got 800x480 and that is double quality then iphone, so it same if u run on PC game on 800x600 and run same game 1600x1200 ( wich requires alot performance) and the hardware is almost near, so u need to chose, quality of Graphics , pictures, movies or, game playing on iphone

where can i get this game or spiderman? i have a tg01 and a touch hd, i want it on both phones, please help

if im correct this is actually just a java game (.jar file) which can be played on touch hd!! i had it installed before i flashed my phone!! i have the file saved on my pc although im not sure if im allowed to post it here!!
EDIT: just had a closer look and my version is actually not the same!! although very similar!! sorry...
this game does look rather nice though and i wouldnt mind trying it out!!

crap i want that game the graphics seem to be fantastic

yes java game, and it is not 3d game, no problem on touch hd and it bored

just for clarification, the PoP HD game is a java game, and the level (from what I can tell from the youtube video) is very similar. HOWEVER, the graphics are really really bad (very pixelated and not full screen) and there is an element of lag.
as for WM7 multitouch? WM7 will support multi-touch and capacitive touchscreens..however, ONLY for new devices. As far as I know, it will not turn resistive screens into multitouch-capable ones (mostly due to hardware limitations). Also, rumours are the WM7 will be so "revolutionary" that even our Blackstone hardware may not run it well...so we might be stuck with WM6.5, but I'm sure one of the talented Chefs here will get something going! otherwise, it'd be upgrading time =]

What can we expect for the microsoft app store?

I really hope developers who design apps for the iphone and android will also make stuff for our app store. I've seen many great things from the android market( while many are in my opinion useless ). For example, the emualtor they have for android and iphone run very smooth with sound and all. especially the android ones! Yes we have morphgear and a bunch of others that run smooth...as long as you keep the sound off. Most of the emulators out for winmo havent been updated in who knows how many years! Whats the point if you're playing an rpg game like chrono trigger for example if you have no sound. What apps are you guys hoping to see on the microsoft app store?

Actually similar to what you're saying...
Multimedia, games...
I downloaded a couple of demos today from Microsofts Windows Mobile page...Wow they looked like 8bit Master System graphics...
Not cool...
Honestly thats all we PPC users lack IMO.

Pocket GBA and WM 6.5

OK here is my issue, I have a Sprint Touch Pro 2 and I just upgraded to the new windows mobile 6.5 rom. I am trying to get Pocket GBA to run in Full screen or....even half scree....hell any size screen would work.
I have a feeling there is no fully complatible GBA emulator for windows mobile 6.5 out right now.
I downloaded the newest version off
http://www.sunbug.net/board_contents/view/250/PocketGBA-GameBoy-Advance-Emulator-for-PocketPC
the cab wont install and however the .zip file will work just fine.
Any ideas or are there any 3rd party patches or is there a better emulator for GBA for wm 6.5 anywhere?

I can see there is no answer, possibly because there is no fully working emulator for 6.5?

nope not really. i've done some browsing for answers and it seems all emulators have some sort of issues with our phones (TP2/Tilt 2) in particular. they will run some games...but framerate, screen size, sound..or something or the other will be missing.
i would love to get GBA working on my phone and of course a playstation emulator to have some of the Final Fantasy games

That would be amazing if they were playable on the phone. the controller would obviously have to me emulated though the keyboard. btw, asiancuta, do you have a ff9 game?

used to own it, but unfortunately not in many years now lol. but i'd hunt for one on ebay, if i know for sure we can have an emulator that works and FF can run on it at 50-60 fps. i've been an FF fan since the NES first one.

FPSece is a PSX emulator that works very well on our phone, it can run somegames a full speed without sound.
http://www.fpsece.net/downloads.htm
Makes me sad when I see a PSX emu running this fast and I cant even get a SNES/GB/GBA emulator running a full speed with sound. We need these emulators to be updated with some better faster code. I know it possible with the hardware in our phone just no one with the skill willing to take the time to do it. Not like I blame them I am sure they have better things to do then make emulators for us.

Awesome to see there there is still some old school FF fans. For the last few months, I've been building a Tetra Master game for WVGA. its at v0.60 "missing the AI still". If your skilled at the game, you could be a beta tester for me. if you know C#, then i would love some help on how to add mp3s into the program.
the game has everything the PS game has, plus more features that SHOULD be included "buying/ selling cards and a non-cryptic tutorial"

Just if people are searching, as far as you're looking to play GB or GBC, I think the registered version of SmartGear is great. Game running, screen orientation and key mapping are ideal.

Silverlight SNES Emulator!

Hi guys
Whilst browsing, I came across this page at the microsoft channel 9 forum http://channel9.msdn.com/forums/Coffeehouse/543611-My-Silverlight-SNES-Emulator/
The guy has written a silverlight SNES emulator, how cool!!
There was me thinking without native code emulators wouldn't be possible, but heck just tried a rom and it worked, hopefully this means emulators on WP7 even if it does mean side loading them onto the phone.
here's the link to the emulator webpage http://unlimitedgilgamesh.com/supersharplight.html

Awesome. Hope it grows into something great for WP7. Either way nice to see a simple EMU being built in Silverlight and hopefully XNA in the future.

I hope to see a gameboy emulator on wp7 i havent played pokemon blue in years, it use to be the game when i was young

Hopefully the developer or someone else makes some on screen controls

Question, I have a ton of roms on my home computer, how would I go about putting them on WP7?

pray & hope that one day it will appear on your device lol
no really tho can an app open the browser within the app & download things to the isolated storage thats reserved for that app? i think i read somewhere where the iphone emulators did that or something like that

I'm not sure if you can do it through the web browser control (one would think so) but you could code your own thing to download them at least.

I hope someone ports Scumm over. Those old lucas art games are better touch experiences than console emulators. I also hate using the screen for virtual gamepad and buttons. A device really needs a d-pad and buttons to play console emulators well.

Um, you can. MorphGear plays NES, SNES, GameBoy, GameBoy Advance, TurboGrafx/PC-Engine, Sega Master System, and Sega Genesis ROMs.

He meant ported to WP7, we know morphgear etc exists

Great! I would love to see other emulators on WP7

There has been NO progress at all.
Just nothing, it was claimed that someone created a Silverlight SNES emulator for the PC and notied it was buggy like crazy but, it worked.
Another person with the gamer tag Cream​Filling512, claimed he got it running in XNA 4.0 and WP7, if you take a look at the image, it looks like it was photoshopped. THere is no way it was real, look for yourself..
http://ibghuq.bay.livefilestore.com...OwPxaZPljUzTTX35wTyXaSu8lg/supersharp_wp7.png
A few sites went up so far but, nothing saying that there is any progress towards making a working SNES emulator for WP7. We are currently at 8 bit systems (NES and SMS) but, seeing a SNES is a little time away.
Personally I think this thread should be closed till we get some proof that there is actually one in progress, this just gets peoples hopes up and kind of bumps a old thread.
I would love to be proved wrong here but, I have been searching and there is no active SNES programs in progress for WP7
