OK so I just got my Sprint Touch Pro 2 today and one of the first things I tried to do was install PocketSNES.
From what I have gathered there are 2 fixes that need to be applied before any emulation will work.
First is a resolution fix so the roms can run.
Second is a keymap fix so you can play once you get the games running.
Now some emulators I have tried
The original PocketSNES 1.12.200
(Not going to work needs both fixes)
n0ps PocketSNES
loads roms but there is this annoying white gap and runs REALLY SLOW. Also needs key mapping.
Last PocketSNES 1.53
Will not work with out a rez fix such as WVGA FIX and there is still a gap(or maybe I am just not using it right) and also needs a keymap fix. This version runs the best by far no lag at all when auto frame skip is set and no sound.
Is there any way to get a version of PocketSNES working with the touch pro 2 in full screen where all I have to do is load the program and it works. With out having to load some other programs every time i start the emulator and then end them after I am done playing? Or something that does that for me when I need to run it?

****s up whenever you slide up the screen, runs much slower then PocketSNES 1.53.
is it worth it to try? i'd love to get the emulators to work.

if any one, make this work smooth on the TP2 please post how to ??
like the tweeks you did, and programs you used..
Any one tried Morphgear with WVGA fix? I still have not figured out how to get WVGA to work on the TP2. All I need is a key fix for the sprint version it does not have a control key.

Works on vga, not sure about Wvga..
Morphgear works just fine on the Touch Pro 2 (even Fullscreen). Maybe not perfect. (Speedslowdowns pop up here and there - for example in Megaman X in the Waterlevel )
It's been posted many times, but this is how to setup Morphgear: (correct me if im wrong)
Click on the settings icon (joystick icon) and choose Global Settings
- choose "GDI" at the Driver option
- choose "North" at Orientation
- leave "Enable Sound" unchecked (Sound Emulation sucks with Morphgear and slows down significantly)
- choose "Polling Method" (very important vor mapping your hardware Keyboard)
now go to the SNES9x (SNES) settings under the Joystick Icon
- choose "Window Size" under Screen Size (Window Size = Fullscreen)
- disable Image Smoothing (extrem slowdown)
- disable all sound settings
- choose Frame Skip "2" (or 3 depending on speed of the game - although 2 just looks the best)
- leave Auto Sync checked
- now comes the nasty part with mapping your keys:
if you have a control key (ctrl, strg) keep it pressed the whole time and start mapping your keys.
There are different ways of making this work (K for Raphael or disabling eT9 - search the forums)
K for Raphael didnt work for me and disabling eT9 somehow screwed up my hardware keyboard, since i have a german TP2 with the Rom from NRG (WWE Rom).
If your using WM 6.5 and are having troubles selecting options - try using the direction keys and enter-button to choose different settings.
Attention!!: Everytime you want to play, slide out your keyboard before opening Morphgear! Otherwise Landscapemode wont work!
As i said, emulation works great. Zelda, Super Mario, F-Zero work perfect. Even the Romhacks like Mario Kart R or Zelda: Parallel Worlds work great.
Megaman X, Super Mario World 2 and Mario Kart work almost perfect... small slowdowns which i still find acceptable.
But there are a couple of games i just cant get to work:
Secret of Mana is super slow - Seiken Densetsu 3 (Secret of Mana 2) wont even load right - Super Metroid is the same... all my favorite games
The other negative things are no sound and extreme battery consumption. But aside from that, i think morphgear works the best - considering that nobody is programming any SNES emulators for our Qualcomm processors and that PocketSNES and Morphgear are YEARS old. If your interested, you could check out this emulator - but the guy somehow vanished months ago and nothing changed since then: (snesGO) http://sites.google.com/site/snesgo/
I dont have any other tips for speeding up morphgear. You could maybe try GFXBoost http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=509704
Or wait for the Overclocking tool from no2chem. http://www.nuerom.com/BlogEngine/post/2009/09/06/Touch-Pro-running-at-800MHZ.aspx
I hope this helpes you guys with SNES emultion. I havent tried NES or Gameboy... but Sega also seems to work with Morphgear (as long as you have the corresponding Moduls).
...oh yeah. If your looking for a Playstation emulator, check out fpseCE. Version 0.10 should be released sometime this year (i hope) and seems to be very promising. Version 0.0.95 runs at around 20FPS. But 0.10 should run alot faster. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kSjZGjeQSdg
Thank you for this clear description.
KforTouchPro worked fine for me; and I prefer EAST orientation, which also meant I had to rotate Left, Right, Up, Down buttons on keyboard 90 degress.
Just make sure you have the keyboard slid out BEFORE opening MorphGear.
You don't need to do anything very special to get keys working in emulators.
When you are mapping keys in the emulator, open the virtual keyboard and use that to map the keys.
Virtual keyboard is the software touch keyboard which has a full set of tiny keys. You know the one...
I have been using SmartGear to play my NES ROMs and it works well other than the occasional audio glitch. In the settings, it has options for different emulation modes: NES, SNES, Genesis, TG16/PC-Engine, GameBoy, and GameGear/SMS. I do not have any of theses other ROMs but it should work. You are able to use the keyboard or touchscreen to control the game and it also plays in full screen. Works much better than any other emulator I have tried to use on the TP2.
You can download a trial of it here:

nice
love the notes and your ideas thank you now i can play ff3. thanks alot bro
yeah I just wanna say thanks a lot for the comments here and instructions to get morphgear running right. I've been playing super mario world non-stop ever since!
Can anyone provide a list of games that run the best? Things like Super Mario RPG never load for me, and with the sega genesis emulator, I can pretty much only get sonic and knuckles to load.
SNES seems to have a better success rate, but still not good enough.
If only I could get mortal kombat 2 to run!

+1
also, where do you get games?
I have had several games playing well with Genesis, Earthworm Jim, Sonic 3, Streets of Rage 3, Ecco the Dolphin. Can't get Eternal Champions to run though. For SNES Crono Trigger runs beautifully, Sparkster, Contra III, and many more working well.
@hani1 Just google SNES Roms or Genesis or whatever you are looking for. We can't post here, keep in mind that it is illegal to own a Rom if you dont own the original game. Not that' it's stopping anyone

If you want free games just go to the WVGA games section here

Any updates on this. Anyone here have a Sprint touch pro 2 with a stock 6.5 rom and working?
I guess the d3d driver by At0mAng will solve any lag problems.
Video Driver I use (another link in the link to other video drivers, but I am totally fine with this one):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=546522)?
Still would like to here from someone that has the same phone as me and confirmed working and how you got it to work before I try.
I am just tired of messing up my phone from small issue to not being able to send/ receive texts. Doing a lot of hard resets.
But I guess it may be worth a try, but still want to read experiences.
A perfect emulator is always a dream...
I have an HTC Evo that has been fine for quit some time.
I was running the AVA-Froyo rom and yesterday the screen would what only I can describe as jitter back and forth between my home screens without me touching it. I would hit the app launcher and it would scroll up and down when I would barely swipe the screen once. I would fire up a game like Dungeon Hunter and the controls on screen were un responsive.
I was wanting to try the Frost rom anyway so I thought it was a good time to wipe and install it. After I did, I am seeing the same types of things(although not quit as bad).
Is my hardware failing or did something go wrong with the roms?
Thanks in advance for any help.
Hi there! I need help with my newly(yesterday) rooted Samsung Galaxy Y S5360. I have rooted successfully, so I downloaded Chainfire 3d from the market, and the plug-ins aswell. Then I downloaded two games, Football Manager Handheld and GTA 3. Tried to run them first without using CF3d. FMH force closed when it wanted to download data all the time. GTA 3 was fine, downloaded the sd data files, and it seemed to work, but after starting it, it came with a black screen for like 5 seconds, then took me back to the main menu. Hoping, other games would work, I installed Gangstars 2, but it came up with the black screen for the first time, without asking about data files. Could someone help me? I have tried all plug-ins, played with settings(reduce texture size, etc.), tried SetCPU, Swapper, have got enough free space on SDCard, and Phone Memory, but no success.
Thanks in advance!
EDIT: Tried NOVA HD, and Brothers in Arms 2. NOVA did the same as Gangstars 2, black screen for a few seconds, and back to phone menu. BiA worked, but characters were red, everything else was gray or brown, probably it's related to shaders.
I have never tested those games but dead space and pes 2012 surely work on my phone smoothly

Your RAM must be low that's why the black screen thing must be happening. Anyways, i tried gta 3 and fifa 10 in mine, gta 3 didn't work but fifa's working fine. Another thing, try to run the games in flight mode too.

Well, PES 2012 worked really smooth for me, and it didn't even need Chainfire, it was fine without. Haven't tried Dead Space, will do later.

Just tested Fifa 10, it worked, maybe I'll try out some other games later.
Thank you guys for the answers.
Each game has its own procedure for running. Try this blog, and follow the procedure given there. http://galaxyy.tk/ i have tried many games and was working without any problem.

Football Manager Handheld won't work on a Galaxy Y - the devices screen is below the minimum resolution required by the game presently; sorry.
(the GooglePlay store will automatically block attempts to purchase on that device - so I presume you didn't get it from there?)
I am currently using CM10.1 by OWL Project. It was a very nice ROM, smooth and all. But, somehow when I go into Settings>Apps, the the app does not fit the entire screen(The sides are black, and the app is very small, leaving a lot of space between the app and my Wildfire S's screen). Also, Youtube in Browser does not work. When I click on the video, it would goto full screen and then suddenly go back to normal, and the video was said to have finished playing. I wonder if anybody else had the same issues as me? Thanks to anybody who would reply to this post.
It's a bug....all of the users have it,CM10.1 is still a work in progress...you have to be a little patient as the developers are working on it
Hi,
does anyone else experience the phenomenon on his M8 device, which is pretty much similar to the Xperia Floating Touch feature (can not post a link to a description of this feature sry, just search google with "xperia floating touch" for more information about that).
About 1 out of 10 "touches" is already detected while actually hovering (1-2mm) and not touching the screen. Most of the time this is no issue, while playing flappy bird e.g. this is pretty annoying though ;P.
Is this a bug or a feature which I'm not aware of(searched the internet and forums, but didn't find anything about that) and how can I turn this off?
I am using the Android Revolution HD 8 system at the moment.
Thank you for your help!
It's just the sensitivity of the screen, combined with just how charged your skin is. I get it a few times weekly,just a few,, my gf,who also gets lots of random static jolts from lifts,car doors,etc, gets it constantly,and can barely use it. ( which is perfectly fine by me!) I find a slight tongue touch to the tip sorts it for me.
