Games on TyTN

Hi there.
This question may have been asked before, and I used the search function, but didn't find a satisfying answer.
Do you guys know of any (S)NES/gameboy emulator that works on the TyTN?
PocketNester seems to have problems with the screen being in landscape...
Thnx

I know this is not much helpful either...I'm working on a new version of PocketNester which may be released in several weeks.

Try Morphgear.. it works fine on my TyTN..

Cool! The one thing I was put off by with SNES emulators was that you were forced to use the touchscreen, and the interface for that took up a good 1/3rd of the screen!
Are you showing it full screen in landscape and allowing use of the hardware keyboard to control?!? train journeys would be even better (still good thanks to coreplayer but...) if SNES games were on the agenda also!

Will you please post here when it's finished? I thank you very much in advance.
And Shamanix, thanks for your tip to use Morphgear. I think I did that, and it didn't work. I'll try again. Which version are you using?
Regards,
DM

I am using v2.4.0.1, but there is a newer version out there..

Landscape support: Yes, as well as VGA support.
But the new features in this version will not be just limited to that.
Speak of SNES emulator...we'll see

PocketGBA is surprisingly good, I play without sound though so that may have an impact.
http://www.sunbug.net/products/emul/PocketGBA.html
You can play in landscape and assign the message and internet keys to a and b so it's like holding a proper games console
oh yes and it's free :-D

I use PocketSNES - works fine on most games.
Also use CEGG (GameGear/Master System), PicoDrive (Genesis/Megadrive), GNUboy and PocketGBA and recommend them all (well, some versions...).
Fed up of emulation on Hermes though, what with the multiple-key bug and lack of diagonals. Can't seem to play a game without using the on-screen pad and hardware keys simultaneously. Real pain.
On the other hand, there's PocketSCUMM!

Kick Ass NES emulator

He everybody.
I found a nice NES emlator whis works great on the diamond (and other wm devices). Its simple and fun. I do not take any credits for the emulator.
you can find it hear: http://pocketnes.retrogames.com/
direct link: http://pocketnes.retrogames.com/pocketnes0100.exe
O and you need to find the roms your own way. The bad way
P.S. this is my first thread. So YEAH ME

Wow awesome, I've given it a run through and it performs really well. There is one fatal flaw unfortunately, but this is an issue with WM lacking multi touch... You can't hold down B and press a directional arrow at the same time! So in Mario for example, you can't hold down B to run... You can't jump while you're running e.t.c. I tried remapping the A and B functions to the call end and back key but it refused to recognise the setup. Besides, prolonged pressing of those buttons surely won't do them any good. I wonder if there is a workaround...

if you want NES roms, here they are http://www.romnation.net/srv/roms/nes
cannot set controls to play games..for example POP

Remapping the A and B button to the up and down volume keys works very nice while using the standard harware d-pad =)
/sonny

or the midle and back button like I have. And tnx everybody for your positife commends. and lepermessiah for his nice link. lest al keap this NES on ppc alive!!!!

doesnt work here downloaded several snes roms but none of them starts up..

yes im sorry, i tried several nes roms but it didnt work.. if i start a rom *.nes it pops back and does nothing..

try a diverent one. I got all the nes roms working

Prince of Persia is working great, but it's a pitty that the keyboard shown on screenshots doesn't work (sometimes flashes, but that's all)

I had issues mapping the volume keys. The MDA Compact IV d-pad is very stiff, not much use for directions. I find the lack of multi touch a real killer for this. Would run real nice on a HTC Touch HD if they gave it this extra feature.
But I digress, this is a Diamond forum.

Touch Diamond Game

Hi, i saw this game for touch diamond on youtube. Does anyone know where can i find or buy it. Thanks
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sqyy9K3Uj64

street fighter on diamond! ZOMG!!!1!!11!!

id rather have shoot-em-up like Raiden on my diamond.
cant get enough of shootin alien ships

hmmm .. whats he pushing to controll??
maybe it's just a video of a street-fighter game.. fake??
well I hope it's real.. that would be awesome!!

he seems to be touching the screen with his right thumb? would that not bring up the controls of the video app? hmmm....i wonder

I wonder if it is using the accelerometer somehow,, but anyways can't wait to try it out. If i can find it somewhere

not if the device is locked.

What you see here looks like the MAME Emulator for PPC.
It splits the screen in 3 parts which are used as the Buttons.
What takes me wonder ist that it also looks like that he is using the jog wheel als joystick.
Does anyone konw how this can be done?

No this is FinalBurn.
In this emulator you can emulate the fire buttons on the touchscreen.
It can be found here:

looks awesome ill have to get my hands on it when i get home

And that's not Street Fighter but Art of Fighting. ^^'

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i_sYsvoOdPo

Ok looks good but the dpad is not good enough to play.
Does anyone know if it is possible to use the Jog Wheel?

Please upload right here if u manage to find this game.
Thanks !!!

FinalBurn does indeed emulate CPS1, CPS2 and CPS3 games (including Street Fighter Alpha 3).
However there are several problems:
1. Low FPS during match (other games like XMENVSSTREETFIGHTER are better)
2. Jerky UNPLAYABLE performance with Sound ON.
3. Keyboard can't be mapped
4. Controls mapping issue
The degree to which FPS is impacted is dependant on the game.
This is my experience with the HTC Touch Pro.
I think we need a more optimised FinalBurn version.
Another problem is that the processor has to process 4 times more info for the VGA screen so it will probably work better in QVGA devices.
Unfortunately I've not found a way to adjust in game resolution.
This MAME emulator certainly has potential!

TouchHD and games

Hi,
I've got a question for TouchHD owners, I m use to use my touch (elf) to play game such as Tetris to waste time in the airport/train. I would like to buy a touch HD but given there is not button, it is possible to play this kind of games?
thanks.

No , you can't. On HD can't play games that need buttons for game play ...

I hope that optimized games for a such big and touch screen will be developed

Maybe a software D-Pad, so the games would run at 640x480 with a touch d-pad...

I'd kill for a good screen overlay that blocks input to the game and provides overlay hardware buttons. would be great if you can activate it once you start a game and need no more menus.
the psx emulator uses a similar method, ingame you get a screen overlay so you can do without any buttons. brilliant. that's why my Diamond was very adept at playing games as long as they were PS1 games, and im sure the HD is no exception.

yes, I've seen several emulators running on iphone using that method

The iphone psx emulator is quite the same as the one that winmo has (and had before iphone did, years before actually) and it has great features.
Something like that should be made as a separate program.
But problem: you need some way of placing a program layer (the invisible button layer) on top of an otherwise functional other full screen program -> not really possible in any stable or practical way... or so it seems.
Anyone?

Or, I am gonna get me this:
http://www.tang-shop.com/bluetooth-game-pad-bgp-100.html
HELL yeah
can anybody confirm this is compatible with the HD?
I'm guessing so.

Is there someone who has tested the games for the Blackstone?
You can get a list of games that work on Blackstone?
Thank you

we should start a separate thread like the apps thread... games are a whole different kind of app so it would make sense to make such a thread, or merge with the apps thread after all?? mods??

It would be hard to play with soft keypads..
Since HD doesn't support multi touch, if the game needs you to press 2+ keys at the same time it just won't work.

This Warcraft 2 - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=422606 - works with the WVGA fix, all we need now is for someone to figure out how to edit the pocketpc.lua so that one of the volume keys works as right click.

yes maybe, but the point is how to have more than 1 input per time cause hd is singletouch

I was thinking of making one of the volume buttons to be the button that's the right click, but can't find which one it's supposed to be.

Damn. Would have been a nice option. I also found some threads about making regular controllers work, but can't find any post of somebody getting it to work... Are there any other options than the clip-on controller?

Why we don't use the Gsensonsor for navigation? Gcontroller is a good app that do the trick. If there is something more accurate.

MorphGear. SNES and GBA in full speed possible?

I really want a phone that can play emulators in full speed so would be rly nice if any1 can tell if they have been able to play snes or gba in full speed with full screen and with sound?
thnx.

I tried yesterday plaing snes (knight of the round) and it works very nice but ive got no sound and its just a bit leggy but I think its accaptable (maybe 22 fps)... I didnt try to get it in fullscreen, but i coulndt get it working in landscape mode...

GBA files work really nice, guess they are even with sound. Fullspeed? Yes!

hey man,
I have had my x1 since jan this year and with roms getting better/faster and with people making tweaks (gfxboost etc) yes...morphgear is very playable.
To be honest tho, I dont put it fullscreen...i make it "actual size" which keeps it 4:3 and also turn on sound. NES/GBA games are full speed...I have noticed some snes games are kinda sluggish still (better with sound off).
I read on another part of the forum somebody is making a new snes emulator and its been getting good reviews so far!

oh, ye, found something about the new emulator you were speaking of
SnesGo:
http://sites.google.com/site/snesgo/
any1 tried it on the xperia?

are You sure guys that You are talking about gba and not gb/gbc ?? if yes, then is it possible to play on this morphgear in landscape mode with keyboard open?

gba is not fullspeed on morphgear. its laggy, but playable. Sound doesnt work with gba roms in morphgear.
fullscreen is still playable. 4:3 ratio (actual size) is a bit better.
The problem is, that this emulators were made when phones were slow. They dont emulate Roms like an emulator on PC does. If you want a fast Emulator (GBA) on X1 someone needs to make a new emulator desigend for fast phones.
Maybe a solution but I havent tried it:
Install pocketDOS and run the No$GBA dos version. maybe it works. dont know ...

Tried on X1. Can't get it to run roms. Just goes into the splash screen after loading up a rom and hangs there. Exactly same thing happens with pocketSNES which this emulator is based on.

Finally! Just got morphgear running perfectly with Chrono Trigger on X1 And with a amazingly cool virtual pad.

Yippee!

Good topic, I was thinking about a good SNES emulator yesterday: "I wonder if there's a good SNES emulator for Winmo..."
Well, it works pretty good on my X1 and I'm happily playing Frontmission (one of my favorite mecha game-series) while commuting. the only thing I didn't get working yet was sound, but I'm thinking I should fiddle around with the settings a little. I really like that the emulator lets you rotate and auto-scale the graphics so that I can comfortably use my X1 sideways for a bit more screen-estate.

I'm using Morphgear.

Nice. The below comment conversation is from SnesGo dev blog. So we should be waiting for a X1 compatible version in a few weeks. Hope it will work out

hey, Im running this on a SE X1. When I choose rom the emulator goes to the the SnesGo splash screen and does nothing.
I tried changing to VGA and then running snesgo, but the problem remained. Roms that I tried was Super mario world, punch out and zelda. They are all in zip format.
I tried to look for a FAQ or instructions but couldnt find anything. Maybe I missed something here, lemme know, I'll be glad to help you with testing.

Thanks for reporting this. I've added a FAQ page at project site.
VGA/WVGA devices shall be supported by next release, in 2-3 weeks
