Well, emulators are now allowed in the marketplace. - Windows Phone 7 General

What's the next complaint? I think Microsoft is opening up, starting out with a steady foundation and opening up. It certainly beats android's open source jenga tower, buy a flimsy foundation, make it flimsier, leave it to the OEMs to get it running at a reasonable rate.

yes, happy to see. maybe there will be a win mobile 6.5 emulator soon

This isn't a complaint but I do find it odd that microsoft having game systems of thier own (and IP's) is allowing emulators. I'm guessing this was a slip up.

Source? Last I read they were pulling the emulators once they learned they were there

Well if u read the article on WPCentral I submitted my emulator after checking in with App Hub support multiple times and they've basically said go ahead submit it. So I did and they've passed it.
Dunno if it will stay up, but its pretty laughable that they can't give a straight answer if they allow it or not and they have been rubbish at removing emulators that bundle pirated ROMs with them.

I just downloaded your app and for 2nd gen settings you should shut off 60 fps mode. On my Focus S I get 2 fps with 60 fps mode on and 30 fps with it off. I tried different combinations of settings and can't get over 30 fps even though I get 60 fps on other emulators.

Have tried turning fixed step on with the 2nd gen. settings? Still need to tweak the settings for 2nd gen. devices as I don't have one yet.

Anyone got any links to games, or instructions on how to get them?

Hmm turning on all three options on the advanced page gives me average 55 fps but it seems like that number is wrong because gameplay is very choppy.

It can get quite choppy when u have the speed hack enabled.
Frameskip 0, speed hack off & fixed step on should be the optimal settings for 2nd gen. phones though. Sound will stress it even more, but might work.

Those seem to yield the best results but I still only get 20 fps. All the times I've tried have been WITH sound but I've gotten 60 fps with sound on a different emulator.

Huh that's fairly odd, sounds like what I get on my Trophy and it should really run a lot faster on a Focus S. Sadly I'm probably not going to get my 2nd gen. device for another couple of weeks so there's no way for me to test it out.
I'm assuming you're other emulator is NES EMU 7, haven't had a chance to try it out since it got pulled so fast and I didn't know if it was legit.

so basically a android and ios emulator would give us direct access to both libraries of apps?

Probably not, because I highly doubt you'd be allowed on either of the app stores and frankly most of those apps are so badly optimised they probably wouldn't be able to cope with the 'lesser' hardware

SpeedBooster made my Xperia very fast..

Hi, this is my first post, and want to share a application that i found on another forum, the application called "sppedbooster v2" and it made my xperia file navigation much much faster then ever.
i have R2AA official UK ROM, and from India.
http://teksoftco.com/index.php?section=speedbooster&picture=05.jpg#pictures
try this.
Only problem is that it somehow don't know the banchmark for video, other wise, all my banchmarks increased by a good margin.
Looks interesting, I wan't to try it but i'm scared to make my phone unstable... Well, if anyone tries it before I do please post the before and after benchmarks.
I'm in touch with Teksoft, the manufacturer of SpeedBooster.
The Video benchmark not showing results is being corrected, it's a simple problem of formula.
Apart from that, I'm having great results with this soft, including panel manager.
Before and after results will depend on your settings. You can give higher priority to some programs, it's not a overall overclock. To get some more speed on general behaviour, you can try giving priority to gwes.exe and shell32.exe.

I m having the latest software version .. but still can't get the video banchmark results. .
is there a tweak to make it work ??
is there a way to boost the priority of certain applications without installing this application. i imagine rom cookers will find this very helpful
Mah...I don't see any result.

You can do that with SK-Tools
**** SK-Tools that **** always seems to **** up my xperia..
i can never figure that program out
I installed this and it made my xperia 10 times.....SLOWER
dun ask me why .....i removed it and now i'll give it another try
New version (2.0.020) available on www.teksoftco.com

SK Tools is a brilliant program, if you know how to use it correctly then you wouldn't have deleted the wrong registry keys.

I think sk tools is an essential tool , making my phone more responsive if I tweak several options , also you can see installed software , delete temp files and a long of etc things , with a single finger touch .
My rom isnt uk and works like a charm for me .
it makes my X1 very fast
Spedbooster works good for me, but not like in the video.
I need to select each of the programs I need using. Then increasing the power for these, seems to make them run better.
eg. I'm using a touch pro, I've tried to optimize the camera app, and now it starts faster.
same for internet explorer or opera.
Yes, a good program. I'm still on the trial version, would love to find a freeware as good.
Let me know if there is any.
Played with it for a couple of days and couldnt see much of performance improvement. Moreover, benchmark showed less values than default settings.
faced a battery overheating as well .
Deleted it.
Guys, I have a question. On my device I'm using Destinator and iGo for GPS navigation but mostly iGo since I like it more.
I've read that I can speed it up using this tool, so I've installed it and added iGo8.exe to the list.
It seems to load smoother, and the search is somewhat faster, if I'm using the France map, calculating a trip from N to S only takes like 4-5seconds instead of ~10seconds before. These results were obtained setting the priority for iGo8.exe to aprox 90%.
Should I set it to maximum? It seems to work better at 90%, I wonder why?

Just a quick note mate, the reason you should set it to 90% rather than a full 100% is because like in a full deskktop pc, if you give one program a the max priority then you bottleneck the cpu from keeping the os stable and giving it some cpu time to continue ticking over, its the same deal with a phone.
Hope this sheds some light for you.

[Q] N64oid problems. Help?

I just got an S2 yesterday and have tried N64oid with Wave Race and there are some slowdowns with sound and frame rate along with a lot of graphical glitches.
I saw an Infuse run this just fine. Any suggestions?
I think this is nothing to do with the phone, but more to do with the emulator.
The author took it off the market to fix some problems with it. Hopefully it will come back more smoother, faster and compatible.
thats not true, the developer was forcefully removed, however he along with many other developers who have been forcefully removed have moved over to "Slide ME" app market, a 3rd party market, which is becoming a very awesome place. he has made n64oid, along with all of his other removed emulators (nes, snes, atari, sega, gameboy, gameboy advance) and made them all free, so be sure to check it out
are you on the most recent n64oid? he has updated it on Slide ME market, download the most recent version
He's heavily working on an improved version that he first said should have been done by the end of may, so any day now. It's gonna make games compatibility a lot better.
I just want to play the Zelda games. Anyone else get constant chop-ups and crashes on them?
Has anyone managed to hook up any controllers yet? Mario Kart is a real pain to play using on screen controls.

For Mario Kart use Sensor as Analog stick, and have Controls layout to "Top + Bottom"
this allows you to steer by moving the phone and gives you the Z (fire button) on the left, and A+B (accel, break) on the right.

How much have you played? I'm still inside the Deku tree and it's crashed maybe 3-4 times total It only seems to happen upon loading new areas, and it's completely random at that. Not an issue if you save very often. Majora's Mask is damn near unplayable though.
But damn, does the phone get hot! Far worse than FPse for example.
What's the changelog for the updated n64oid from slideme since the last update from the emulator nazi (android market) I haven't noticed any improvements I paid 6 dollars for the app
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA Premium App
I don't think n64oid was ever updated when it was put up on slideme though? I'm sure it was v1.1.4 I got off the internet while yongzh had the app pulled from the market while his other emulators were still up.

Yeah we are still waiting for the big update, the mov to slideme was in preparation for the release of the next version apparently
I hope it's coming soon. If the game compatibility becomes that much better I'd definitely buy it if he puts a price on it.
I know there's been lots of talk about how he allegedly uses open source code for his emulators and then charges for it without permission, but as this is the only n64 emulator available I don't care at all.
Personally I still am fine with my six dollars going to yongzh and am sad that his expertise in emualtors is now unwelcomed by google on its market. And my 4 dollars for his gba emulator too I hope he distributes his new n64oid release via email first to all that paid for it and then publish to slideme.

Well I don't think El Goog care about his expertise when they get a request to remove apps from the market. n64oid was removed due to a lot of the code being taken from mupen64 and them filing a request. That PSX emulator was taken down because it was breaching trademark.
Don't want to sound like a ****, but good riddance to be honest. If you are gonna use other peoples code, at least credit them.
Checkout N64oid v2.0.1 is released.
*Changes*:
v2.0.1
- Fixed depth issue on Galaxy S2
- Changed app icon
Here:- http://slideme.org/application/n64oid
N64oid appears according to commenters to be a crapshoot.It might work like a charm or might crash everytime.Yongzh hasn't shown a lot of haste to update his software in the marketplace so until he fixes most of the glitches and crashes I'd keep my 4$ in my pocket.Already paid once for half baked buggy software, 4$ is a good eats.
His pages on Slideeme now appear to give full credit(and maybe %) to the original coders.Step up I say.

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.

Movie Studio- Does yours work?

I was please to see a native video manip program. I was also pleased to see I could thread 2 clips together with transitions however when I actually export the video the transition skips every time the clips change. Also, regardless of what setting I use, when I play the video back it is like a thumnail size in the android player- a little pointless.
has anyone used this successfully?
*bump* *bump*
never played with it before, so i figured id test it out...
I just tried to put two clips together and it just straight up crashed... the program closed. So I went into apps settings menu force closed it, and now it can't even load the project. It can't start a new project either... it just hangs on "loading project"...
so, no, mine don't work either. I'm on stock 4.0.2, rooted. Sounds like mine is brokener than yours.
Works fine for me!

That's a bit of a pity. At least mine functions stably- it's just the skipping during the clip transitions.
Stadsport- can you join two clips with a transition (any) inbetween and play back without a jump during the transition?

Think that's exactly what I'm talking about. It's frustrating that they should ad an option that doesn't work properly. Transitions are there to help link 2 clips together better, not make the change more pronounced lol.
ya.. i just got it to work... my phone was wigging out for a while...
I did get the transition jump/skip.
My guess is that it is just pretty bad software. Maybe issues with the types of movies put into the project, but any movie editing software should be able to handle multiple types of formats and a simple paste one after the other without a chunky buggy skip / time shift / blackout.
couldn't add a subtitle for one video, can only add certain filetypes for audio tracks it seems. Although the interface is pretty good, and the options are pretty neat. Wish it worked well...
+1 for iPhone :'(
Mine works at times. It stopped midway through rendering one time, and the second time it worked fine.
