Bios file for fpse - Nexus 7 Themes and Apps

I couldn't find anything about this in the forum so i'm making this thread. Glad for the settings thread though. Made a HUGE difference in appearance. So everytime I Start fpse it asks for a bios file for making the program run better and to save games. What is this and where can i find it? Or do I really even need it? I've never had a psone emulator. Just SNES.

This is a file pulled from the physical system itself. By not including this file, emulators can be distributed legally. For those same legal reasons, you won't find them posted on a forum such as this (or links for that matter). You'll either need to google instructions for pulling the bios if you have the device, or search for less reputable places than this

Oh I see. Ok now I understand what it's asking for. Thanks.

Wrong place for that! Use google and don't create troubles to xda-developers! We use this forum for ROMs and nothing more than that! Just Google it!
flash games
For games i just use flash lite from adobe.
works well.
To get games I just use google search for swf files.. something like
"snake filetype:swf"
"tetris filetype:swf"
"arcanoid filetype:swf"
works well
you could aloso go to flash games sites. find the flash game in the source code and just copy the *.swf file.
some games need lots of memory so they wont work. older games are no problem. games that don't work are like
rtype etc.

I don't agree that this forum is just for ROMs!! He wasn't asking for pirate games but FREE games. Like these for example http://www.pocketpcfreewares.com/en/index.php?cat=25&sortby=

Thank you all, you were very helpfull.
Apart from this thread, i am truly amazed with this forum and the high level of knowleged that goes around here.
Keep up the good work,

I really don't have any games on my Trinity but I do have Kevtris, which is like Tetris. Man that game is addicting. I also downloaded a pretty good golf game from Microsoft's website and it is free.

I have to agree that that is a very creative idea questsin - one question though, how do you save the .swf file?
*snip*
it's okay! i figured it out. just open the file in a new window then click on File > Save As....
Flash games are pretty cool. The buttons however don't seem to map well. Having a keyboard helps

When you find the link on google, right click on the link and click on "Save Link As..." I forget what the option is in IE; as I'm currently using Firefox.
It'll save the .swf file to your pc. Just take that file and slap it on your phone and you should be able to open it up with the Adobe Flash Light player.

[Q]

Hi people.
aThe ability to have access to all those retro games, which I by the way often enjoy more than recent games as they mostly are nothing but eyecandy, was an important point for me to get an Android device.
At the moment I am kind of pissed. I just searched for SNESoid and couldnt find it in the Market. Did it get pulled?
Is there some other way than the market to get this app?
Apparently i failed to give this thread a title. Sorry about this, its my first one.

You can edit the title
Anyways ..
There is Snes9x EX or sega Genesis ...both give you the retro games ......
yes Snesoid (and the dev and all his software )got pulled becouse SEGA was *****ing
Thanks for the Info.
By now I found out, that the developers account in the market was deleted.
For now he posted all his emulators in another appstore, (am not able to post the URL, but just google for "SlideMe") , for now they are even all free. I think its a shame that Google pulled his apps, as they were a real plus for the android platform giving you access to a LOT of "real" games.
BTW: I still cant figure out how to change this threads title...

[Q] Some ideas for psxperia PSX multidisc support

Ok. So I wasnt sure how to word the title but I had an idea for converting PSX games to work with the Xperia PLAYs bult in psx emulator. Couple years ago when I was still in the PSP scene I used to use I believe it was called POPstation or PsGUI300. It allowed you to take 2 ISOs like for example disc 1 & 2 of grandia and convert them into a single eboot which you could then play on the PSP, but the POPstation also lets you convert that eboot to a stand alone ISO. I was thinking even though uit would be a long process and quite a PITA we may be able to take a 2 disc game convert it through POPstation as a single eboot and then convert that back ot a single file ISO which we can then convert hopefully with Yinfanlu (I apologize if I misspelled) conversion process and make it work in the Xperia PLAYs emulator. Any thoughts and or ideas? I apologize if this is long... just wanted to make it understandable..... which i hope it made sense.......
Here is a link to the application Popstation GUI:
http://endlessparadigm.com/forum/showthread.php?tid=57
That actually might work I will try and give it a go tomorrow if I have the time and tell my findings.
Ps I also use to chop and screw the psp

Ok, so I have tried 5 times to get it to convert in the back to a ISO and I have had no luck, maybe its just been so long since I have used this stuff I forgot the correct settings, but anyway if you happen to get it successfully converted can you let me know? It would be awesome to get it to work, especially Grandia as I love that game... more then FFVII (dont shoot or burn me... I just like it better, not saying FFVII is not badass)
I have never tried to use Yinfanlu's (again apologize if its misspelled) conversion software and i cannot figure out why its nots workig. under the extract tab what wold I extract as there is no apk and zpak file with this eboot to iso converted file? oodst0016 if you get it working right can you assist me in what I am doing wrong....
I tried to load the eboot to ISO file in the fpse app and it works great, now all I have to figure out besides trying to convert it in yinfanlu's app is how to convert the save file from my psp for Grandia to work in the fpse and Xperia plas built in emulator, I am stuck at the end of the game where I am fighting the last big boss before the credits roll and I really dont want to redo all 60+ hours it to me to get there..... again if anyone knows how to convert the save to work on our Xplay I would appreciate it. Thank you
You can just move the save file over with a file manager, Its not convenient but it does let you play multidisk games.
I tried moving it over and the game does not see the save file, even though its in the right folder....

You sure you moved the memory card save and not the save state? the memory card file is called raw0 I think... Just thinking off the top of my head haha.
I moved the save file from my PSP to my phone. its all .bin and .sfo and .vmp file extensions. I thought I saw somewhere where you can covert the psp save file to work in the Xperia PLAY... I will start looking for it again....

Oh I thought you meant you moved a save file from disk 1 to disk 2. The psp save format is totally different.
yeah I am aware that ps1 files are in .raw format while psp is in .vmp i think. I have been scowering the internet trying to find a way to convert the psp save file to a ps1 .raw file type.
It's likely that we'll have to wait until a multi-disc game is released officially before we can fully discover how it is supposed to work.
Great news..... the process of taking Grandia disc 1 & 2 and making them into a single PSP eboot file then using POPstation to put it back to a single file ISO then using Yinfan Lu's conversion tool worked. I now have Grandia in its full form as a single game, no disc swapping. SWEET!!!!!!!!!
Have you gotten to the second disc yet? I wouldn't exclaim success unless you've been able to do that yet.
I agreed with jay.
If it does work then ff7 full package yay
Sent from my R800i using XDA App
Ok... you guys are right... got excited as I was struggling to get this to even load right, goit excited when it did. the final file size is around 680mb. I will see what I can do to get to an area where its the 2nd disc and give you my results. Cross your fingers ya'll
anyone have a game save from Grandia ending with a .raw file extension I could try out? I cannot find a way to convert my psp .vmp save file to .raw to see if it works on the xperia play emulator. Or if someone knows of a website where people can download a .raw psx game save?
just an update,i checked out the new metadate.xml for crashbandicoot and there was this nice option:
'standalone = yes'
if you put it no,and add other settings there couldb a chance it would work
also this is the NEW crash apk and ZPAK! So compatability and MULTIDISK are iN THIS!!
Nice find Cat_On_Droid. I think I may have found a gamesave... dont know if it will work. Just to make sure I am doing this right. THe save game file should go under the /Android/Data/Grandia/all the way to the folder that says "saves" correct?
update time...... Damn. Got the save files I downloaded to show up in the game, but the files for disc 2 are faded. Selecting them says "wrong disc". Guess its back to the drawing board. Thoguht it would work as the game is both discs made into a single iso file......
Cat_On_Droid where did you get the updated apk and zpak? Did you just redownload the files from the Crash app? Not asking you to share the files just curious.

Noob to Android Help Please.

Hello Everyone.
I have just purchased a Sony Experia play for my sons Christmas present.
All I know is it is unlocked to any network and this is purchased from the UK.
What if anything are the 1st steps to enable emulation rom loading etc. on this phone. ??
I can`t find any tutorials on the 1st steps to take. Out of the box (Not even sure there are any)
Or is the phone good to go ….as it is with loading rom emulation etc.
There is no FAQ on this subject at all, and if there is?? I can`t find them.
Basically I would like my son to be able to acquire all the Good Stuff that this phone is capable of getting. E.g.: loading Roms. Iso, game files, emulation etc. etc. (like the psp, if this is even possible?)
Thank you for your time and any help.
Basically, you just have to install the emulator apps, load some roms into the sd card, do some quick configurations, and it's ready to go.
Gameboid, snesoid, n64oid, fpse are the most popular ones. You'll have to map the buttons to the gamepad first though. GBA emulators require a gba bios file. Finding one for the emulator using google shouldn't be too difficult.
Google keeps removing emulators from the market, but you can get the "oid" ones from slideme. There's an app called "emulator roms plus" that will help you find emulators, roms, and it can also install a gba bios. Personally I use tiger gba, tiger snes and tiger genesis (by Tiger King) instead of the "oid" versions.
You can either download the apps with your computer, load them onto your sd, then install, or use the phone's internet browser and download directly from there.

Hello Thank you Sir for your input..
Dam after reading numerous threads on rooting and bootloader unlocking I was under the impression ,that I had to do some major flashing to enable some sort of custom FW to get this Beast to run all the good stuff.
Real glad that this is not the case.

No, most of the good stuff is available out of the box. You only need to root/unlock if you want to do technical things like overclock, edit system files, and install custom roms/kernels.

The plays dual channel DDR2 ram means it can pretty much handle anything you can throw at it straight out of the box.
Bootloader unlocking/rooting ect is more for people that like to mod the phone and for flashing custom roms ect

Flashing custom roms is legal, though you have to unlock your bootloader to do so and that might void your warranty as SE put's it. So if you mean by 'not legal' is the same as voiding your warranty, then yes.
As said in this thread it do most things out of the box and pretty good i might ad

Thanks Guy`s you have made it almost crystal for me now with the experia play options.
Really appreciate all your help and advice.
Thank You.
On an added note any general computer experience with emulators or file browsing and opening will help you work this emulator app's pretty fine
fpse and gameboid will need bios files if you need a hand finding them just reply here i'm sure more than enough people will help you
also in fpse once you have loaded the bios save the settings so as you don't have to load the bios everytime you open the emulator app.
other information including compatability with the emulator is over in the themes and apps thread!
Your son is going to love this phone, it's so pro!

Custom roms are custom software for your device, most custom roms are based on the offical sony software. But some like CM7 are built from source (AOSP).
Sent from my R800i using Tapatalk
"custom roms" when talking about bootloaders and such = custom Android installation
"roms" when talking about emulators = the games themselves
A lot of newbies seem to get confused by these terms being used in more than one context within a single thread.

Afaik it's not legal to share the bios file's, you'll have to google them yourself, but is easily found when doing so and wich ones to use for best results
Ohh and it's not allowed on xda to share, link or discuss warez and such

convert snesoid saves to snes9x?

hi guys.
I know it's a funny question, but i really be happy if it can be done. I played translated seiken densetsu 3 on snesoid cause it worked there (even if i had flashing screen at avery conversation bubble), now i found out with latest update of snes9x (which was my favourite to begin with) seiken densetsu 3 works PERFECTLY.
But yeah, don't wanna start over again. So, again, is it possible to transfer my save state or save point (you know, the save feature existing in "battery" inside every cartridge-stuff) to snes9x from snesoid?

could you load that save then save it as a emulator .sav file then use that on the other emulator

Yea you can, only the battery save though, not save states. You just change the .sav from snesoid to a .srm that snes9x uses, its been a while since i did it but i think they are the correct extensions.

it works, i did it myself, they are basically the same core emulator, yongzh just changes the save file output for some reason.
you can also use save files off many pc emulators and put them on the play if you wish. They might not all work but some will.
ups, delete me pls...
