Hi there,
My first post on this forum so bare with me Last week I got my HTC Touch HD, and I'm now for a day or two trying to get emulation of ROMS (GBA in this case) working. My favourite emulator seems to be MorphGear, due to the fact I can also emulate NES, SNES etc. on it, which I also like. The problem however is, the emulation of the GBA ROM works, although with very choppy framerate and lagging, bad sound. I've searched quite a freaking lot to find out what the problem is, and have come across some similar problems but nowhere a decent answer.
I've also read a lot about people that DID get their sound and framerate to work just well. PocketGBA is something I've also tried but it seems no option since A) it does not load the ROM, just shows a white screen (ROM is ok, works in morphgear) B) shows no D-Pad and C) I like the skins I can get for Morhpgear, they make gaming easier.
Sorry for the long post, I am really stuck now though and have fiddled around with many settings, reinstalls and tweaks. Tried different programs but it just wont do.
Can anyone help me with this?
Thanks in advance!
I can't load up any roms with psx4droid since moving to CM7. I was reading to fix this issue in CM 6.2 you just had to flash the market fix for 6.2, as there was an issue in the build.prop.
I was wondering if anyone else has had this issue? Or if the same solution (flashing the 6.2 market fix) might even work?
I don't know enough to just start messing with files and whatnot, and don't want to break anything.
And yes, I have the right bios, and I have tried multiple roms.
Thanks!
Yes, I'm having the same problem with CM7 on my inspire4g (even tried a different kernel).
Also identical problem with snesoid.
Same here,and add to that;the game I got from gameloft are giving me trouble as well.....

psx4droid is pretty much a dead project. ZodTTD (of Zodiac emulators fame) put together this emu after many requests from devoted former palm users. He is focusing all his efforts on iPhone and OpenPandora ports so I wouldn't expect a GB compatible version of psx4droid in the future.
psx4droid v2 1.1.0 works for me. All earlier versions don't work. the psx4droid lite does work on GB

Awesome, yeah that was the issue haha, I got the paid v2 version and it worked fine! Sweet!
So I have an HTV EVO 4G with CM7 (2.3) and no versions of psx4droid will run Metal Gear Solid. Any ideas?
PSx4Droid works for me [CM7 2.3.4] Though make sure you have the latest version. Also not all games are compatible; another emulator worth trying is fpse; I have both installed, and some games work on one that doesn't the other. EX: FF Tactics doesn't like to run on psx, but runs fine on fpse.
Many of Gameloft games closes on ICS/JB roms,,mostly due to some problem in multitouch..i found http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1443949 where some tweaks have been done to the zoom to make the games working.can these be done to the epic too??
What games?
I have quite a few running on my Epic with CM9 RC2 with no issues, such as Asphalt 7, Asphalt 6, UNO, and N.O.V.A. 2 - Near Orbit…
I did not do any special configuration to get them to work.
side note: I DID add the info from THIS THREAD to the end of my build.prop, but that was to help with the battery life

Maybe a bit off the subject, but I had GTAIII on my HTC EVO4G (unrooted) and I loved it.
Now, I have the Epic 4G (rooted) and I have the game purchased on the market but of course it isnt compatible.
So, I notice some people doo have it on their Epic, I'm wondering how you get it to work ?

I run GTA3 on my Epic all the time, luv'n the save game with a Tank!
I do tone down the details and OC a bit, but it does startup and run with no issue.
Also run Modern Combat 3: Fallen Nation and Backstab with no issues
In general, I have no issues with Gameloft games, so I would guess this is just an issue with games Gameloft has not bothered to update for ICS, which kinda sucks for those that paid for them.

That is so weird that it works now because I've tried awhile back and it didn't work, it'd give me a black screen after opening it. But I checked out that thread which helped a ton, and I got it installed and working! 100% .. not one problem.. yet haha.
Ahh, just like PS2 lol, lovin' it! I just found the GTA||| v1.2 apk and downloaded the SD data once (which I've read you may have to d/l it twice) and once it was done it opened just fine and has been working great ever since.
Thank you DCRocks :good:

1) Watch where you're posting. I know there might not be a separate forum for Micromax A89 (and there will not be!) but anyway one can always go to Android General/Apps and similar sections for this kind of problems.
2) As for what you mentioned, yes I'm experiencing the same with an older version of Asphalt 6, only that it exits ONLY WHEN I do a multi-touch action. The problem exists across Android 4.x. I don't care about that game so I deleted it for all my Android 4.x ROMs. Best bet for you is to see if the game you're playing has any recent upgrade. But then again, if you happen to be playing Asphalt 5 or even older games... Time to move on to better games and a better phone!

Hello. Is anyone else having issues with Yongzh's emulators (snesoid, gameboid...) when running them in ICS?
I get slightly poor performance and sound issues that don't manifest themselves when using Gingerbread. The same happens in Android 4.0 and 4.0.4. I've tried different ROMs too and I even tried overclocking the CPU to 1.5 GHz. Nothing helps.
I'm looking either for a fix or for some nice alternatives (some other emulators work nicely, but they're not as good).
What are you using since switching to ICS?
No kidding. That's one of the reasons the ICS update was dropped, it killed performance.
So if I read this post correctly, I guess its answering my other thread.. that I guess Yongzh's emulators are no good anymore and we should buy a new emulator off the market?

I don't know about not being good, they're still my favorite, but they perform badly in ICS for some reason and they're actually one of the main reasons I can't decide whether I want ICS or GB.
Glad I came across this thread tho.. didnt even know they had issues in ICS.. Maybe I will have to buy a newer version emulator, unless anyone knows if he is still updating for ics on slideme wasnt it?
Hey, I'd like to know if this is ROM specific. Perhaps the emulators might work smoothly in some ROMs that I haven't tried. Please post your experiences. I'd mostly like to hear about CM9 (I haven't tried it yet).
I tried Tiger Arcade and Tiger Genesis and they both work like a charm in ICS. Consider this emulators as an option.

Hey mate
that's easy , just use MD.emu , BGA.emu ... all of them are running smoothly on ICS .
Greetings.
In hopes of finding someone who's facing a similar problem, I'd like to ask you about a certain issue.
I've installed the Xperia Play Z Ultimate Edition rom on my Xplay r800i. It's running all cool and great, but there's one problem. The apps are closing for no reason. It's like, one moment you're playing a game, and all of a sudden the main screen appears, as if you pressed the home button, but the app is gone. It looks like they're crashing when the phone is under heavy load. It happens to literally everything. Even Messenger bubbles often disappear when there's a new heavy app starting.
I've searched the rom's thread, but didn't find any information about such problem.
If this matters, I've flashed the kernel that was supplied by rom creator - 480p DoomKernel.
This is the first rom I've seen which has an issue like that, and I don't think there's any alternative, as this is the only ICS rom I know that keeps all of Xplay's core features while significantly improving speed and functionality.
Please help. Does anyone know why this happens?
Update: out of frustration, I've changed to another ICS rom, Honami 2.1.3, together with switching to a Lupus V7 kernel (ram version)... and the same thing happens. Although with the new rom my phone's performance seems to have DRASTICALLY improved, apps are still closing for no reason. There's not even a popup or error, or anything like that - it just pulls the plug and suddenly kicks me to the main screen.
This problem renders heavy games literally UNPLAYABLE. It runs perfect for like 5 or 10 minutes, with high framerate even, then out of a sudden BAM - back to the main screen. No error, no nothing.
Browsing around Lupus settings I've found something called Low Memory Killer. From what I understand, this thing kills the apps when the device is on critically low memory. Maybe this is the cause? And if it is, why the heck is it "going rogue" and killing apps that I'm ACTIVELY USING? How do I configure this? I assume you can't just disable it...
Please help.
Seriously? No one has ANY IDEA what's happening? Please help! I literally have no clue what may be causing this.
Switched to YET ANOTHER rom and kernel - Nexplay, with bundled Lupus kernel, this time also changing the firmware to R800i_4.0.2.A.0.58_Enhanced. With this one, the phone runs definitely the fastest, but guess what... same thing happens as before. Games commit suicide when played for too long. Out of all I've tested, the only ones that don't shut down are OpenTyrian and Nes emulator. Gun Bros worked fine for like 5 minutes, and suddenly closed, working very slow for like 2 seconds before it happened. Same thing with Vendetta Online but this one outright REBOOTED THE PHONE! And these games supposedly are optimized for xplay, so it doesn't make any sense why there's such a problem going on...
I'm starting to wonder if maybe it's because I'm using ICS roms? But then, I've never seen anybody reporting such problems with ANY rom. This definitely isn't a common issue. I'm also using Link2SD, but again, I've never seen anyone mentioning it causing anything like that.
I can relate to your problem. I've experienced the same (apps randomly closing while in use) issues 1 or 2 years ago and to me the development on these roms are dead since the developers have moved onto newer devices. Currently my xperia play is dead (bricked) however with experience of using many of the roms i can safely say that ICS is not meant for the xperia play. Sony themselves didn't officially release ICS for this device due to the number of bugs and problems associated with it. I'd recommend you to use GB roms to bring out the best potential of your device. ICS lags some way or another whereas GB doesn't. All games run smooth on Gingerbread and they certainly do not have issues like ICS does. The best rom for this device is Gin2kitkat ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1631144 ) and my personal favourite Xperia NXT 2 r1 (i've used this rom the longest). Here's the link for that: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1649368
From experience, as long as you use a Gingerbread rom you should be good to go as they are the most stable for our device. Good luck
Aaw, that's a real bummer. The problem with GB roms is that there's a lot of ICS apps and games that I really need. One of the main reasons I've decided to unlock bootloader on this device is because I wanted to get an upgrade to ICS. It's really strange. I've seen people play advanced games on this phone (example) and there are no signs of problems such as the one I'm experiencing.
Thanks a lot for your reply. I guess I'll use one more ICS rom, and if that fails, I'll give GB roms a try.
Btw, what do you think about NXT Gaming rom? I don't care much about flashy UI and widgets, and as long as everything in the phone works (camera, xLoud etc.) priority for me is gaming performance, and from description, this rom seems to be the most aggresive I've seen when it comes for optimizing performance for games.
I agree, from the vid the user is seen to be running the ROM "ICS Ultimate". Also i haven't tried the NXT gaming rom only the NXT 2r1 but regardless, with that rom i've been able to play emulator games and heavy intensive games such as Fifa 2012. I'd only imagine the 'NXT Gaming rom' is faster and better but since i haven't tried it, i'm unable to give you a direct response, sorry. Anyways Gingerbread will always be the best in terms of gaming performance and functionality, but if you're able to find a good ICS rom that is smooth when playing games such as GTA then it's entirely up to you whether you want to stay on ICS or not. Also correct me if i'm wrong but i remember GTA3 (not san andreas) being playable on gingerbread.
Correct, GTA3 DOES work on Gingerbread, but unfortunately only this one and Vice City do so. GTA San Andreas and Chinatown Wars will not work on anything lower than ICS. This is an example anyway, cuz there are few more things that I need and will work only on ICS.
Anyways, guess what. I've tried YET another Rom from a portuguese site (rom is Fusion ICS 2.4), and the problem stopped - apps no longer spontaneously shut down. There's another problem though... as this system is ridiculously unstable. Sometimes it's fast as lightning, then sometimes it slows down to a crawl for no reason - it has nothing to do with active apps; it often happens with no active apps running and with tons of free ram available. It's completely random. Even the interface sometimes crashes for no reason. Curiously though, all games run extremely fast and they never shut down on their own. Unfortunately, it's not worth using such a train wreck. Games running well while the rest of the system goes haywire defeats the purpose for me.
I'd give "ICS Ultimate" rom a try, but for some reason, I get virus alerts when trying to download or open the file. I guess I'll either wait until it's confirmed false alert, or go for GB roms finally.
