Hi there
I just downloaded a emulator of the nintendo DS. Right now i'm playing Pokemon on my computer
So my question is: can a interested developer work on a emulator or something for the Diamond, so we could play games like pokemon etc.?
Anyone interested?
Google morphgear... don't think it has DS funcionality but I used to use it all the time on my Tilt
The Diamond hasn'tgot even 1% of power required to run DS games. The idea is nice though, because both PPC and DS have a touch screen.
I have pokemon for GBC on my diamond. PocketGNUboy i think.

And where did you get that from? Oh, the name gives it all a way !
If anything, the opposite statement that DS hasn't got 1% of the Diamond's power would be true. However the reality is Diamond has, theoretically, more processor power, a better GPU for better gaming. But up till now, the GPU has never been fully utilised due to the decision of HTC and Qualcomm (the processor+GPU manufacturer.)

I have download and installed PocketGNUboy on my Diamond right now. Now, do i just have to download a ROM of Pokemon and put it on my diamond? Or are there special roms for pocket pc's?
Mhm i downloaded a ROM of gameboy color. But i cant use the touchscreen, i need the buttons to play. And somehow that doesnt work good.....
Anyone know what to do?
Because i cant use volume buttons for example, because when i press them, the volume bar appears, and the emulator does nothing...

From where I know? My friend has a 1,8GHz Intel Celeron CPU and NO$GBA (a DS emulator, written in assembly) ran at about 80% with no sound. How do you imagine running it on an about 3x weaker CPU?
And before you say my friend's computer sucks. If you read VisualBoyAdvance's readme file it says you need a 500MHz PIII CPU to run GBA games:
Windows: PIII 500Mhz machine for GBA emulation.

GBA has a 16.8MHz CPU. So, now you will tell that thousands of users of this program are using a underpowered emulator?
Here's a great emulator I use on my Diamond, its MorphGear. You can play SNES, GB, GBA, NES, GameGear and SMS games on it. It requires you to pay a bit for some features(not sure what, never had the trial version for long) unless you're a pirate, but its well worth it.

The bottom of the screen is working as buttons. But for me there should be an image there showing the buttons but it doesnt. dont know why.

Your an idiot, plain and simple and your friend must be mentally challenged, too. The Diamond's processor is running at about 500mhz and has a ton or RAM whereas the DS lite has like 32MB? of RAM (the original had way less than that and it needed to be expanded by a gba memory pack to even handle web browsing) and an incredibly weak processor and it managed to run GBA games just fine. The Diamond and almost any other late 2008 ppc can handle GBA games with ease. The iPhone, running at around 600mhz, can play most of them at full speed.
I seriously doubt that you understand anything about emulation or virtualization, but basically to emulate a GBA the software has to translate commands meant for the GBA processor into commands the Diamonds processor can understand which takes a hell of a lot more resources than virtualization which uses the full CPU power like the DS when playing GBA games so it easier for the DS to play GBA but that does not mean it is more powerful.
Back to question, you can use any emulator for PPC that plays GBA games like morphgear, but some of them require a gba BIOS which I can't post the link to but if you google gba_bios.bin you should find it pretty easily. also I cant post any ROMs but any regular .gba file will work
just use an emulator like the ones listed above or get the game boy color versions of the game
i use smartgear to play pokemon, works a treat
In regards to the keys need a remaperer such as AEG

a) Because it doesn't emulate, nor virtualize, it is just backwards compatible ARM processor. And before you say GBA emuated GBC/GB. You know that GBA had simply GBC's hardware in it?
b) So tell authors of emulators they suck - they can't emulate a tiny GBA cpu with less than 500MHz. Or two NDS CPUs with total clock about 100MHz reuires

If you actually paid attention to what I wrote, you would see that I simply show that having 10x better CPU clock doesn't mean you can emulate a game.

yes i do know that nintendo did just incorporate the gbc processor onto the mb of the gba. however the ds does not have that so it virtualizes the gba/gbc environment, and the ds does this at full speed with a very weak processor. emulation takes way more resources but any pc with a graphics card, even an intel gma, can run gba games at full speed. are you using the gba bios? try VBA on your pc and let me know how fast it plays? I pointed out the the iPhone can run GBA games at full speed with gpsphone so wy can't the diamond, which has a dedicated video card, albeit slightly slower processor?
looking at this thread made me install morphgear and i also registered some of the freatures and so forth .. well anyway.. just to say, what the horse... GBA is not running smooth... it's not even running on original speed... well it does come down to developement.. the specs of the phone is good enough for GBA i guess.. well GBC works perfect.. haven't tried other types of emul, on morphgear... well i really wanted to play pokemon emerald but no way, i can't because the emulator is to slow for me to be patient to finish it... i have a Raphael BTW.. well from being a symbian user in many years and coming from a nokia n95 phone which does emulate GBA games perfect and more than perfect, this kinda dissappoints me but i'm not going to cry as i remember when the first beta for emulating GBA on symbian was way slow.. well even my nokia n70 runned GBA in a over perfect speed... well it all comes down to developement..
as for NDS, it is possible but nothing we can expect to come fast at this moment.. we might want to wait and see,...

I’ve tried that one and its pretty old and they don’t keep up with it.
I recommend trying out MorphGear 2.4.0.9 works good on my 8525.
And Finalburn v0.011 for arcade games. by far the best emulator out for ppc.

Please DO search the Wiki before posting. http://wiki.xda-developers.com/inde...ng SNES games on Windows Mobile (and Symbian)
SNES9xJ4U performs really well with full sound at 299Mhz on my omap850 elf. It just doesnt go sideways fullscreen like n0p's pocketsnes does, and it doesnt work with all games for some reason, compared to pocketsnes...i'll look into morphgears emulator.
Basically in my opinion SNES9xJ4U runs faster than n0p's Pocketsnes emulator anyday, and we should make it run better than it does already...

mmdaa..
nope.
i spent MUCH time with ~15 versions of all kind of snes emus available, and cannot say such definitive statement, you know...
i am now on xscale machine, using SNES9xJ4.
guys:
- SNES9xJ4U is fastest thing on xscale cpus available, it lacks landscape mode, no problem for me, great sound emulation. it is quite fast on omap too(but you know, it is not good idea to emulate snes w sound on omap cpu..).
- pockesnes by n0p fast is fast on xscale, VERY slow on omap(and prolly qualcomm, 'n samsung ****), but emu is slower a bit than SNES9xJ4U, main advantage over SNES9xJ4U is landscape mode, and stretching, main difference between n0p's ones and OLD ones is onscreen buttons feature.
- masteralls emu is worse than both on xscale cpus, works much better on omap(...and probably qualcomm, and samsung...etc.) cpus. sound emulation is not nice, imo, on xscale machine, as on omap.
there are more snes emus/versions, but we can forget about 'em, i assume.
MorphGear 2.4.0.9 works good
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
well..works good, but it is much slower, than presented above. emulation feels sluggish.
and it is not freeware.
SNES9xJ4 is best choice if you do not need landscape mode and you have xscale cpu machine.
it provides possibility of gaming with:
200 mhz xscale - lowest speed useful for nosound gaming(...6 hrs battery lifetime is real,hheh).
300 mhz xscale - without sound - frameskip 2-3 for fast gaming,
300 mhz xscale - with sound , 16 bit, 22050, quality high, mono, fs=3 for fluid, nice gaming,
400 mhz xscale for gaming with sound 16 bit, 22050, quality high, stereo, fs 3,
520 mhz xscale for fluid gaming with sound maxxed on,
my test games are: earthbound, and chrono trigger - if these are fluid, i assume any other game will work flawlessly(speed factor), these are heaviest ones for emulating i tried.
NEVER use sound interpolation! never ever.
masterall's one is what i used to emulating on omap oc'ed to 175 mhz, that was MINIMUM for fs 3-4, nosound.
i threw it away after machine change(sound emulation sucks with it).
one more thing:
ALWAYS TURN sound sync off, always if you have not enough power, almost always, if you have cpu power too.
second thing: frameskip 0-1 is just wasting machine battery, also - it just slows down things, so, imo, 2-4 FS is best choice(you do not walk SLOWLY, right)?
third thing: in general - do NOT use onscreen buttons, if emu offers such option - 95% of pockets are SLOWED down while tapping up to 30%, let's say.
it is VERY visible on most emulators for ppc.
--
sorry for poor english, maybe someone find this useful...
btw, there were TWO main releases of SNES9xJ4, there were emulation and program GUI differences(also, SNES9xJ4 may have problems with file requesters on some roms/configs).
i may provide link to version i am using...
and every snes emu i found so long, too..
general advice for pocketsnes clones users: try to avoid turning sound on and off, and again, while playing, your save may be damaged if you save after sound on/off, keep one settings for serious gaming.
black screen is symptom of that problem, no clear solution to this, be awared...
And Finalburn v0.011 for arcade games. by far the best emulator out for ppc.

good that you are using 011 - newer versions started to have strange problems, i strongly recommend that version.

Who has a cab so that your can load ROMs?
question
ive been searching for a pocket pc snes emulator that has a cheat function... gg or pro action .. either one.. ive been using pocketsnes 1.53 and the older ones( have a cheat tab) but dont work. i have also tried morphgear and it does not work on my tmobile wing. if yall know of any please let me know
So this may have been asked before, but does anyone know if there is a DS emulator for windows mobile devices, or whether somebody out there is working on one?
I mean I don't know **** about emulation, but it makes sense to me given that both are touchcreen devices and a lot of pocketpcs are pretty powerful these days.
Sorry to say this, but forget it, you'll never get a decent NDS emulator on PPC... Most NDS emulators on PC don't run at fullspeed when using 3D, and that's for homebrew, so on PocketPC... Not likely...
Yep, what Mollusk said is true. Let's also remember that the DS has two screens, and if you'd like to split your already small PPC screen into two, it won't be fun.
Depends on the size and resolution you have I guess - splitting it might not be that impossible after all. But on the performance end there is no light in sight of course. We don't even have full speed GBA emulation (with sound) and so it's probably highly unlikely to ever see something usable for the DS. The only straw is that both the DS and PPC use ARM CPUs and there *might* be a way to use this somehow just like with FPSEce.
The problem wouldn't be the ARM CPU, but the 2D and 3D GPU... Maybe we could have an emulator in text mode ^^
As for splitting the screen, that wouldn't be an issue either. I ported a few of my DS games to PocketPC and just did some minor resizing.
DS total screen size : 256x384
PocketPC standard size : 240x320
It's not perfect, but close enough (with a little cropping ^^)
Anyways, won't work
damn i was really look on finding the emulator for the NDS, but i finally stopped on this thread, lol saved me some trouble on continuing my search for the NDS
Just wait 2 or 3 years..i bet our phones are gonna be capable of doing this.
suure, with qualcomm ****, yeah lol.
dream on, htc users, dream on..
ds emu as plugin for manila 9d(with iphone icons to be cool, of course).
sry to say that, but sometimes you are ridiculous, guys.

Since you know how to read the future..how is it gonna be like in 2015?
there will be NO electricity, power lines, etc. in 2015, so..
(hheh..)
it will be "GO" and chess era.
again.
Another little problem you will have to deal with.:-
A DS is actually driven by two ARM processors, running at 66Mhz and 33Mhz respectively. Not particularly fast by PPC standards, but usually they drive one screen each, and talk to each other to keep the game flowing along correctly. Most PDA phones also have two ARM processors, but one is driving the phone subsystem and is strictly off limits, you can't get at it.
As mentioned above, the killer is the 2D/3D graphics hardware they have access to, to do all the drawing gruntwork. Even a PPC ARM processor running 10 times faster than those on the DS is going to struggle emulating all that lot.
Well there is already a phone with a 1ghz processor so maybe it's not too far off?

Then someone realized, that state was given TOO FaST to earn money.
And HTC became ruler of market.
It is ok, if you HAVE cash for ****...probably you do..
maybe a device with a good chunk of ram and a tegra chipset
i imagine this would open up a whole new world of emulation. solid ps1, maybe n64 as well?
my only worry is the loss of d-pad on the tp2, and the ****ty dpad on the tp1, makes for a poor user experience when trying to jump and you hit home by accident I dread to wonder what the 2010 devices will be missing. No qwerty devices any more?

doesnt have to be entirely touch tho, mapping the volume rocker and using the dpad, the screen could be utilized for one-at-a-time buttons. like picodrive for genesis uses dpad with a/b/c buttons onscreen. these buttons are never used simultaneously anyway
so ppc can fast emulate ps1 and it cant emulate that ****ing noobly nds??????????? .....WTF?......

Well i will buy a PPC so i need to know if the I Mate Jam can run (i think its possible with these XScale 416 Mhz Processor ) the GBA Games and the others emulators games correctly...
Thnx...
I know that there's at least this three GBA emulators:
PocketAdvance, PocketGBA & VBAdvanceCE.
However I haven't tried any cause the jam's buttons aren't distributed in a way that suits gaming. I would have given you some links but I'm in a hurry, just wanted to give you an answer before I forget.

There isn't even a really working PSP emulator on PC However, Sony Ericsson demo'd God of War and Little Big Planet from the PSP on the phone already - so we will most likely see some ports of existing PSP games appear in the Playstation Pocket app.

do you have a link to that? that would be really interesting to read/watch
as for the OP, i said to my self long before i got this phone was confirmed that if any manufacturer made a android phone with a slide out gamepad i would buy it even if it had zero games at launch or the foreseeable future
why would i buy such a device? emulators and thousands of roms that come with them plus the android games, the icing on the cake will be PS suite, possible PSP games in the future would be further icing
im not sure what you want out of this phone but maybe this has helped you in some way
There IS a emu for psp on pc called jpcsp which is java develop
I only remember it from some page where they said they demo'ed GOW and LBP's PSP counterparts on the Play. I think it was from the TGS, but I could be wrong.
I know of the emulator, but from what I heard, it performs very poorly. I don't think it's realistic to expect it to work on the phone in any usable form. The PSP Hardware is pretty close to the PS2, and you need a 2Ghz dual core Processor on a PC to get any joy out of it's emulator, which is not programmed in Java (and thus faster in general)

There is no way that Hardware from 2-3 years of the PSP is better then 1GHZ CPU and the Graphics card i find it weird if so...
and Android is not all Java there is NDK which is Native C++ OpenGL 2.1

I think you misunderstand how Emulators work. They emulate - as the name implies - the hardware of another system by software. That means, you need a TON more resources to emulate the hardware of the other System. Usually, that means you need to jump at least two generations ahead to make it work.
Some examples:
A GBA has 66 Mhz. To Emulate it back in the day properly, you needed about 800Mhz to do it.
The PS2 has a 300 Mhz CPU and 147 Mhz GPU. To make it run on today's computers via emulation, you need a 2.5 Ghz Dual core. And even that isn't very smooth in some games.
Ontop of that, the Emulator you're refering to is coded in Java, which means it'll be easy to port, but eat EVEN MORE resources due to the unspecialised code.
I still am waiting to get my note. Should be the end of Feb.
But in the mean time, I've been looking around for a decent NDS emulator for android, as it strikes me that the note is prefectly suited to be a DS emulator.
The screen seems the right size to be split in 2, it has a stylus, and it is powerful enough to potentially handle DS emulation.
The problem is I can't seem to find any good DS emulators anymore.
I found a copy of nds4droid 1.3 somewhere on the internet and tried it on my Xoom, but it is really slow.
Anyone know of a better one, and where the official nds4droid site is?
Or is NDS emulation on android dead and not likely to start up again?

The version I had had an experimental mode which apparently tried to make it faster, but it was still too slow on my Xoom, even with frame skip on 10.
What version do you have?
Are there any other ones?
It's weird that N64 can be emulated so well, but not the DS.
are you kidding, ds emulator barely runs smoothly on a core2dual, and you wish to run it on a dual core? its gonna take you like 5min to do a 1min action... even core2dual lags. just wait for core2dual happens on mobile, than nds is starting to be playable, by that time playing nds games is just like todays playing a snes game lol.

So GBA is the best handheld emulator that I'll get for a while then?
I just think it is strange that PS1 and N64 which have better graphics can run smoothly but not the DS, but then again, I don't know how they differ at the process level.
When is Nintendo going to realise that Handhelds are dead and bring out Mario, Zelda and Pokemon for Android? Seriously!!!
