PocketGBA - General Topics

I've been trying to get some Gameboy Advance games to play on my Wizard, but I can't seem to get an emulator to work. I've searched around a bit, and found that everyone seems to recommend PocketGBA for Gameboy Advance gaming, but I can't seem to figure out how to install it.
The file I downloaded off the site for it doesn't seem to have any exectuables or archives, only files that are xxx.001 or something, which I'm not sure what to do with. Anyone got any ideas, or any suggestions of alternative emulators?

Here you go!
This is working fine on my Wizard... even if some games play slow compared to the perfomance on the Hermes.
But I haven't overclocked my cpu
Just extract it and copy the whole directory on your wizard, no installation required.

Not working on WM6.1?

The worst thing is that aint workin in left-handed mode!

The worst thing is that it has no virtual pad D;

Has anyone installed morphgear or Snesx9?

I just received my Treo750 yesterday and I am migrating from the 8125. I love the phone my only worry is with the screen and its support of gaming emulators, I have tons of games. Has anyone experienced with an emulator on the device?? If so please give me your opinions and concerns. As always thanks in advance.....
Emulators on Palm 750W
Hey there,
I have installed MAME CE, and PocketNester and they both work, but the resolution leaves much to be desired. Let me know what Snes emu you are using, I would love to try it out...
I loaded the morphgear emulators for snes and sega both work with no probs. After mapping the keys with the screen a little dis-organized you should be fine. I did so and have no problems while running them. I also have an pocket nes emulator loaded with no problems. I could possibly load the gba emulator from morphgear as well however I have so many games there is just know way I would use it.

Can anyone please get a SNES or GBA emulator working on the Tilt?

Coders made them for prev generation HTC phones, why not the Tilt?
Probably better posted in the general Kaiser forum...vs the Upgrading forum; however....
I believe that Morphgear works....I have only tried Gameboy (regular) and NES games, but they both work. It does have support for both SNES and GBA.
But as you mentioned, it was created quite some time ago and thus is not optimal for the Kaiser. As I recall, SNES should be "ok" in terms of speed. GBA will be slow.
Using the HTC Performance plugin, the gba emulation is a little bit better. But I still wouldn't play any platform or fast paced games on it. I stick to games like advance wars, or fire emblem, where you can use frameskip without too much consequence. Still better than any ppc games out, IMO.
there are a couple of emu's for snes ive used one called zsnes that seemed to work ok the only problem is the hardware keys being to close.
There was a thread in the general Kaiser forums about NES emulators. Your best bet would to be to ask there, as it already contains some information pertainent to this subject.

Morphgear is the best EMU ever
It got all the platforms
NES , GBColor , works great 100%
SNES, SEGA GENESIS works nice without sound, some bugs with soud
GBA is a little slow

yea, cause you need to launch the exe with your computer and have your phone connected to activesync or mobile device center... its not a cab installer
Morphgear works
pocket gba works faster than morph gear at least it feels faster

Mame or NES on Raphael?

I have tried PocketCultMame
http://www.pocketcult.com/home.php
But it is so buggy that it isnt an option for the raphael.
Also tried Pocket Nester for NES.
Nester seems to start the ROMs ok but the key mappings just dont work right.
Anyone got these anything or else to work well?
Curious
I would also like to know if the keyboard works with Pocket Nester. Anyone know?

seems to be a general problem
i have tried all the emulators with virtually no luck at all. Seems none of the keys every work for me
same problem here, it seems that HTC used a different technology to number the keys.
maybe because the touch pro has more buttons than most other devices.
Had same problem with games that use mapping (like worms for ppc, doom 1 & 2, etc), as well as with the DOS emulator.
It's a key mapping problem... when is someone going to create a program to use the capacitive part of the TP as buttons (so we can play and emulate stuff?) :^P
For the moment im playing with the device upsidedown, im using the Up, down, left, right as the D-Pad and strg + shift as A and B button.. not a very practical but it works.. i hope there will be a better solution for this problem..
Play full playstation games
I use FPSEce 0.9.6 beta and it works with red alert retaliation. The intro video is laggy but once you skip that and get into the game menu, its smooth.
You just rip your psx games to .iso format and copy to the SD card.

And when i found no program it went automaticly to the "memory card / disc" Menu all playstations have .. all fine but i was unable to get OUT this menu and had to reset the device in order to get it back up ...
Any thoughts? maybe doing something wrong

Any Updates?
Has there been any progress on this? I really want the Sprint Touch Pro! But if I can't map the keyboard for use with emulators, that would be a deal breaker.
Have you tried FinalBurn?
You can get it from:
http://www.modaco.com/content/smartphone-software-games/247894/finalburn-for-wince-0-014/
FinalBurn emulates 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! Try it!
Here is a great solution for the keyboards issues:

i googled around for awhile and found a really great and supposedly rare emulator for nes its hard to find in english since its a jap build of nester only problem is games flip upside down in landscape mode but key mapping works great even with out kforraphel.
If someone know how to flip the screen ide really appreciate it since playing with the keyboard on to is pretty wierd.
also anyone have a good gba emulator outhere pocket gba is alright but not perfect...
bump- anyone how to fix the upside down screen in nesterj4u?

PocketGBA on Touch Pro

i download PocketGBA.cab and copy it to my storage memory..
when I try to install it, it says installation of pocketgba_rel060723.cab was unsuccessful...
i dont undestand why, when in a htc touch of a friend its run flawless..!!
anyone help please??
Go to the webpage for PocketGBA, I installed it following their instructions and it worked just fine. You need to get the CAB that comes with FMOD.
which page is it?? can u send it please.. thx
I think he is referring to the file called "Direct Installation" on this page:
http://sunbug.net/products/view/141
It's not a CAB file, but it's a zip file with the FMOD dll included. It works on my TP, but I can't really control anything because the directional pad on the TP doesn't work for crap, and I can't play vertically with the keyboard either because the screen rotates in the wrong direction.
Is anyone able to actually play PocketGBA on their TP? If so how?
bump i have the same issue. does anyone have a well working gba emulator?
Bump
Also looking for a rock solid GBA emulator.
man this really blows some of my fav games cant be played on gba emulator just because of the full screen orientation. Many others also fail like 10 min into the game when i open shop or enter a battle sequence. the only one i have found that works decently is golden something 2 but i runs slow I wish someone with the know how could just update pocket gba
i have no issues with pocketgba..ive been playing through final fantasy VI advance and it runs alot better than my tilt did (even tho pocketgba STOPPED working after wm6.1 came out and it just would crash when a game was loaded) and i havent had ANY crashes on my fuze...
pocketGBA works for some games, but some other games get only 5fps even with sound off.
Super Mario world and Pokemon FireRed are two such examples.
Im not sure if this topic is even alive, but to all of you who tried the cab and it failed...Download this its a standalone version of it http://www.1800pocketpc.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/03/pocketgba.zip
Its alive, thanks for the contribution. now people without a pc hookup can play too.
well are there any gba emulators that handles in playing in landscape mode?.. well as for configuration of the hardware keys we could use an app called KforRaphael.. it doesnt keymap but it's a workaround.. well predefined keymap... well do anyone know of any landscape mode gba emulators or is that something we have to wait for?
from what i've seen all the emu projects except for ps1 are dead... it makes me sad
Please help, I cannot get any game emulators to work on my FUZE.
Actually, I play using the d-pad... but if you really wanna another emulator, try morphgear. I hear it has on screen buttons...
