Touch Pro 2 and Emulators...why such a hassle?

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?

First install morphgear, Than install the module you want.

****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.

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!

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...

psx4droid

Hi, I am new here so I apologise if I've posted in the wrong place.
I have looked through the forums, and there doesnt seem to be any help for alot of people who have asked the same question. Blank screen.
I had psx4droid running, had a bios selected, but when I tried loading a rom (ff7, which others have no issues running) I just had a black screen and nothing happened. Phone was still responsive, but nothing appeared.
Can anyone help an eager student to understand things a little more clearly.

Try a different rom, I had exactly the same issue with another game.

i have the same problem, with android 2.1 i could use psx4droid, but when i update to 2.2 psx4droid doesn't work anymore... i don't know how to fix the problem

a few roms wont work, idk why but they dont. try downloading different version of roms from different source and try them. maybe they will work?

If it's a .ecm file, you have to uncompress it. Search for an ecm decompiler.

Exact same issue. Roms were working smoothly on 2.1 but now they seem to crash the app everytime. I think we may just have to wait this one out

Phew, no 2.2 for me then. I play FF7 every day!

Hi, How is the sound for you guys. I am running on a samsung epic and the video is incredible smooth for a lot of games but the sound, while it isn't terrible it is no where near what I would describe as good. I'll just use the final fantasy as my example. Is there a specific format that is better for me to rip my games to like .iso, .bin .img to get better sound?
the sound is sometimes choppy and sometimes slightly garbled. They are still playable but if I can improve them it would be great.

Sound is choppy for me on my Samsung Galaxy i9000.
I wish he would code it so it uses Open GL rather than the software renderer, that way he'd get much better performance out of the graphics leaving the CPU to process the sound and other things.
Judging by his schedule, he's not that interested in optimizing the emu.

Only had the SGS for 2 weeks now.Came from Symbian phones.
So I tested all the emu's for them in the day,the picodrive,the Vampent SNES and GBA emu's etc.
So when I browsed the market and saw a psx emu I was amazed....sure come a long way to be able to run a psx emu on a mobile phone (of sorts).
Yeah,while not that many roms work and a bit slow with sound I think it sure is a big achievement to have a psx emu at all. Damn amazes me.
This phone (and the android OS) still suprises me.

PSX4Droid
Today I found the PSX4Droid and was trying to set it up. It tells me that I have to specify the BIOS file(s) before I can play any games can someone tell me what it or they are and where I can find them please.

Yeah,you need the the PSX bios file.
Ofcourse you should have your own from a disc you own D) otherwise google scph 1001 and you will find
(Hope its allowed to post this if not Mods please delete)

i would love for this to get a big update, as great as it is to have a psx emulator on my phone there is very few games that actually work and even less that work correctly.
i know this is new though so i have faith even though it did take years for it to be as good as it is on pc so it may not be in this generation on phones that we see great emulation (maybe 3.0 phones if were lucky)

Hey all,
Perhaps I should post this in the captivate forums being that I have one, but I will start my question here.
As far as the emulation goes, just about everything runs perfectly that I have tried other than Tekken 3.
My question is: has anyone found a way to swap disks (like FFVII requires) without having to use a psx emulator on your pc and changing the file names etc...?

psx4droid + Ginger xxkpe?
thats it. ill like to ask if any1 had luck booting a rom on Ace with that OS thx
soz if i sound nuubish, thats just cos i am
btw ill like to say hi in this my first post and thank the community for this awesome place

Had to use chainfired3d with the tegra plugin in order to get the textures to work correctly. Runs very smoothly and doesn't seem to heat up the phone too badly.

Cant get it working and ive updated chainfire 3d (paid version) and used nvidia plug ins. cant get riptide working wither which others are. Are there more up to date plug ins? only seem to find same ones all the time

I had this exact same issue. Turns out I had to uninstall chainfire3d. Then reinstall - non free - then pro. The reinstall the plugins. For riptide you will also need the shaders (google for them). Then you need to set per app settings for riptide and GOF2. use the tegra plugin.

Download?

Thanks for the help-got riptide working now but still not galaxy on fire. i will return to it when ive got time

Just downloaded from Android Market (still coming soon on Tegra Zone) and installed.
All looks good and seems to be working well with the Nvidia plugin

Is it just me or is the startup time damn slow. Runs fine once its going but sloooow to start.

Works fine here with Chainfire 3D

also no problems, works fine with chainfire 3D+nvidia plugin.
But 15$ is too much for me, stay with the free version.

Order & Chaos Online MMORPG now on Market

The MMORPG Order & Chaos has just been released on the Android Market. Most gameloft games are pretty good, so I am thinking ahout buying it!
I thought maybe this would be a thread for people to talk about it and maybe add each other. Make a Galaxy S II XDA clan or something This game is fun for playing with friends, offcourse.
So, people that bought it: is it worth it?
Price: 5.49 euro.

Im planing on buy the game to
is the game worth it ?
thx

Hello,
I've bought Order & Chaos yesterday but I have already posted on the gameloft technical forum because the game doesn't run smoothly on the SGS2!
There are several issues:.
1. The game often freezes for 1 sec, this happens every 30 sec/1min. The game doesn't really run smoothly.
2. Opening the minimap takes 2 sec and browsing the minimap is really slow
3. In the options, asking for the ping indicator or the camera being vertically or horizontally fixed doesn't work
The gameloft custumer care has already told me that the dev team is working on these issues and apparently I'm not the only SGS2 owner who has these issues.
I hope they are going to resolve this pretty quickly (especially the freeze/lag) because the game in itself is really fun and addictive

I have same problems like you, but i have freezes for 1-2 sec every 10 sec . I hope they will fix it soon.

Market Web Link
I too am having the freezes.

Wonder what they where thinking when they decided you need WiFi to play it...
Do they think people are walking around with WiFi routers in their pockets?
Fail!

This game is Huge, Massive, GODLIKE. Such an incredibly detailed game and plays beautifully. Insanely addicted. Seriously, this is World of Warcradt IN YOUR POCKET!

I just downloaded this game, it is very very nice, and with Anti Aliasing 4x (thanks Chainfire3d) The graphics take a whole new dimension.
The problem is this random stutter/freeze mentioned by everyone every zone loading.
Will wait for a fix, game looks great.

Hows this compared to pocket legends?
Its also a WoW counterpart.

i was thinking about buy it.. but with the freeze problem.. oh ****

This happens due to GPU not running at 267Mhz I believe but at a lower clock rate. This happens on Asphalt 6 and GangsterMiami etc.

It can only remove the cache on YOUR PHONE; all game data (characters/maps/weapons in your inventory) is stored on the GameLoft server.

Some guys said that flashing a kernel that supports Tegrak, and installing this app might fix the freezes.
I'm on Oxygen, not really having the time to test this, but anyone on stock might give this a try and post feedback.
- install Tegrak
- OC the GPU to 257 Mhz, or find a good clock
- you might as well downclock the CPU a bit to prevent heating, 800 will be enough to run this.

FPse and ff7

I have tried so manu variations of the settings and tried to google but I cant find a solution to my problem.
Its laggy and the sound is not right.
Is anyone playing ff7 on there nexus, what settings are you using in that case?
It worked pretty well at first, but the sound was off.
Ive bought it so its the newest version.

Not an issue with the phone. It is like that on every phone.

When I played it on my tb I disabled the sound; seemed to help the frame rate. Either way its a novelty.

Eh that's what hooking your ps3 controller to your phone is for . I don't mean to be a jerk by any means but if its like that in all phones. This phone won't be an exception. I just use my laptop as my emulator station a lot less bugs.

I would find the newest version of psx4droid (NOT the one in the market). FPSe is very slow on ICS/GNexus and I have never been able to get it to work right. psx4droid will work correctly right after installing it.
I play FF7 through my phone onto my TV with a PS3 controller, works pretty well. I would supply a link but I am at work at the moment. If you can't find it, I will update this post once I can.

Hmm where is it lagging for you? I am in the middle of disc 2 and the only thing that has lagged on me is the part where you try to stop the train from running into Barret's little town (forgot what it's called).
I am on AOKP and Franco, just installed GlaDOS to try to get some more performance but it is pretty playable.
edit: Try this on FPSe and see if it works for you. I don't have mine setup so I can't try it out.
go in fpse.ini file and set DisStereo=1
Will need root explorer or something to get to the FPSe directory but it might help.

Hmm where is it lagging for you? I am in the middle of disc 2 and the only thing that has lagged on me is the part where you try to stop the train from running into Barret's little town (forgot what it's called).
I am on AOKP and Franco, just installed GlaDOS to try to get some more performance but it is pretty playable.
edit: Try this on FPSe and see if it works for you. I don't have mine setup so I can't try it out.
go in fpse.ini file and set DisStereo=1

Ive already changed the DisStereo=1 and I thought i was all good. It was in the starter town after blowing the first reactor. But as soon as i left with the train it got unplayable.
Im on stock yakju, but I know people were playing it with their xperia minis without lag. So something else has to be the problem.
Doesnt the sound lag for you? What settings do you use?
edit: ive got scph1001.bin bios and a ntsc-u game.

I can't understand why i cant get rid of the lag when people with half the performance is saying their playing it without. Isnt it suppose to be able to play without a problem?

I have tried so manu variations of the settings and tried to google but I cant find a solution to my problem.
Its laggy and the sound is not right.
Is anyone playing ff7 on there nexus, what settings are you using in that case?
It worked pretty well at first, but the sound was off.
Ive bought it so its the newest version.

On my Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1, I've gotten it to minimal lag by enabling dual core mode (in my version it's done by default and the option is actually "force mono core" but I don't have it enabled) with the following things enabled under the "video" settings:
framelimiter
frameskip
and that's it. I also have my processor overclocked and i do NOT have the OpenGL plugin installed (don't do it).
The sound is messed up and don't EVER use Tifa's limit breaks during boss fights (freezes right up), but otherwise I run at a pretty consistent 60fpt.

It's strange, if you download the OpenGL plugin, the sound is actually fixed (well, 85% of the time anyway), but then strange things start to happen randomly. I've had menus go missing---namely the battle menu during battles---and sprites go missing (sprites are video game programmer speak for pictures of things). Like the little white hand that points at "continue" or "new game" on the load screen disappears. So I just deal with the sound being messed up. I'd rather have smooth game play than fully functional sound.
Mind you, the music actually plays correctly, but it sounds like a stereo recording trying to play out of a mono speaker set up, like there's a speaker that's broken and not playing. Probably something that'll get fixed eventually.
In either case, DO NOT USE TIFA'S LIMIT BREAKS DURING BOSS BATTLES. I've had the game freeze on me half a dozen times during that first boss battle she's in during the 5th Mako Reactor and during the Sewer Boss after the "cloud dresses in drag" scene. During regular battles she seems to be okay, but boss battles freeze up bad enough to have to restart.
Hope I helped out I'm currently about to bust into the Shinra HQ for the first time (way early in the game lol). I love my ps3 controller set up on there too. It feels just like playing when i was a kid...but on mute...damn sound

Hm, that's weird that it is lagging. I played the whole of FFVII on my Nexus One using FPse without any lag whatsoever. Is it like this for all the PS1 games you are trying or only FFVII?

I've only tried ff7 so far cause that's the only game I'm interested in. But I'm gonna try ff8 and see if that runs well.

I got the psx4droid 3.0.7beta which is the last one to ever be released, but I don't know if it's okay to upload it here even if ZodTTD put it out as permanently free.
