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?

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...
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

maybe psx4droid doesnt support froyo or something. havent tested it myself, but will let you know once official froyo comes out.

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
Hi everybody, lately, I'm wanting to get rid of Sony themes and annoying apps, and install a Stock ICS.
But as an avid FIFA 12 player, but I'm worried if this game will work, because it's exclusive for Xperia Play.
So, will it work?

If you go completely AOSP, and use a rom with NO Sony (Ericcson) material you will lose the touchpads and may also lose the directional buttons and the 4 shapes buttons as they are specific to the Sony software. You should still be able to use the touch screen with the game but that is if it will even load. I believe there are Stock Gingerbread roms with some Sony stuff left in it so that it will still use the full touchpads and game controller, if I am wrong someone please correct me but from what I have read this is what I found no Sony specific software isntalled no game controller. Like CM7 no touchpads or game controller and if there is support its only on a limited number of games like Shadowgun, etc.

So, I have to install a Rom based on Sony, uninstall all crap, based on a list of safe removal it can be found on this forum, and then keep hours customizing it to look like the original thing...
Damn!

For speed and ease of use this is what I do. I use titanium to backup all my apps. Then I do a Custom Recovery backup before trying a new ROM. Then wipe and flash teh new ROM, then once its all booted up, I use titanium to remove the system apps, then restore the apps you have backed up you want to restore. I did a full blank slate on my phone 2 weeks ago an what used to take hours took about 30 minutes. But yeah it sucks, this method just makes it suck a little less. And when you restore from Titanium it will at least restore all your apps data. so like I restored my GO launcher and all my wallpapers and widgets were restored as well.
Is there some games that doesn't work with ICS? There are a few games that I bought that either freeze my phone(GTA3) or the game auto closes as soon as it gets into the actual game(Dungeon Defenders)
Also another think i just remembered. In TrialX2(Gas*I think*) and Blood and Glory(Dodge right) the O button brings up a option menu.
Anyone know?? I just spent like 30$ on games and some aren't working at all.

If you're asking if some games just don't work correctly on ICS like they should, then yes.
If circle is bringing up the options menu, that means that game isn't supporting the Xperia's gamepad, so it's trying to go "back" instead.

Well its Trial Xtreme 2 SE Xperia Play is the name of the game on the market.
Also they worked on 2.2.3(2.3.3?) whatever it ships with.
Google Play Store has that app isn't even compatible with my ICS Xperia Play, so maybe that tells you something. Not really sure though.
Being ICS is BETA.
Yes, there will be problems.
Go back to gingerbread if you want games.
First of all my Xperia Arc S is not unlock or rooted, its completely stock no modifications made upgraded thru Sony PC Companion.
anyone experience some issues on temple run when you swipe to side to side sometimes the character jumps or slides instead of turning left or right?
and another issue for me is xperia home launcher it doesnt save my settings to arrange my drawer in alphabetical order it always return to own order after opening some apps like playstore?
any solution guys?
need your help badly..
hmm,i think i read somewhere that some games arent fully compatible with ics and there will be problems with the touch screen.
yea my arc s is GB and temple run is running smooth. Then after i get ICS its not recognizing touch properly
It's appears when i update wif ics 4.0
When I downgraded this problems havn't appear.
This is a known issue with Temple Run and ICS on some devices including ours. Plenty of comments on this on Google Play so let's hope they fix it soon.
Congratulations, you are the 100th person to ask this!
It is an ICS bug, happens in most of the games. Sony's fault.
I am not happy with Sony's ICS. I actually run Achotjan's SEMC Debrand Engine and it's awesome. I recommended it.
Downgrade to GB is the best solution for this case!
I think so
Temple run is not fully compatible with the ICS.

It's not Sony's fault. I've experienced this problem on CM9 too, which is not based on anything from Sony(kernel, firmware, etc.)
I just downloaded Gravity Project and it has the same problems as Temple Run. Completely unplayable.
