Hey guys, I know you'll tell me to search, but I've searched all of the boards for the HTC Touch Pro, Diamond, and even the Tilt and I simply can't find an emulator that actually works right on my HTC Touch Pro. Here's what I've tried:
PocketSNES 1.12.200 - Freezes when I load a rom.
PocketSNES 1.53 - Glitches on basically every single rom or crashes.
Morphgear 2.4.0.9 - Extremely tiny and the menu glitches in landscape mode.
Can someone please tell me what emulators and what versions they're using? I'm having the worst time finding a practical emulator that works on the HTC Touch Pro.
Thanks in advance.
Update
Best version of PocketSNES for the Touch Pro (thanks Snakie): n0p's PocketSNES WM5,VGA-compatible Build (02.02.07)
Fix for mapping the hardware keyboard keys (thanks Dilta): Dilta's KforTouchPro 1.0.0.3
have you searched here? i think not, theres a few thread around
http://forum.xda-developers.com/search.php
Thanks for your helpful reply, Brendo! However, I searched this entire forum and tried different versions of emulators as recommended for hours upon hours. All I see are people saying it works, while not really giving specific information on how to get it going. And the ones that do give specific information don't even come close to how they describe it.
Can anyone who's got an SNES emulator to run on the HTC Touch Pro please respond?
in for someone who has an answer cause i cannot find one either
I've also looked around for a few hours and wasn't able to find anything that worked. I found one called smartgear(2577) which looked promising but it doesn't recognize the .smc filetype yet. Hopefully someone here knows of one that will work well with our Touch Pros.
is it true that morphgear is freeware? the version I got expires after 5 minutes of play
the one found here is working on my Sprint TP
http://n0p.tonych.info/?PocketSNES
I dl'd the "WM5,VGA-compatible Build (02.02.07)" file
extracted the contents and copied them over to my storage card.
I had to make sure all my roms had the .smc extension for the program to see them.
Am I correct in guessing that that famous emulator is slow as heck on our Touch Pro's?
I'd used the QVGA version with my 624mhz 6700 (oc'ed) and it was barely playable. I've since given up on a playable version of windows mobile snes.
Someone earlier had suggested there was a SNES version for the Diamond that used opengl drivers - and thus would be faster, but I haven't seen it anywhere.
Thanks for the n0p one. I just tried it out and it's the most usable one I've come across. Although i wish the button mapping would work with the slide-out keyboard. Almost every button I try to assign is set to "0x5e" regardless of the letter pressed on the keyboard. I'm also using Sprint.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=2850031
I gotta try these because I need my emulation.
I looked into that other forum, morphgear was already listed and doesn't work well at all. All the pocketsnes verisons are pretty iffy as well, the best imo is the n0p verison although that isn't spectacular either. I wish there was something else out there..

Thanks for the specifics, Snakies. I remember trying this one but I had it in a weird video mode that was glitchy (Landscape right stretched) and figured the emulator was just messed up. But if I run it in normal Landscape Right it works like a charm. Thanks for the confirmation!
Also, to someone who posted in here earlier, there's a post that has a program for the TP that temporarily changes the input mode on the keyboard to make it compatible with older Pocket PC apps. Here's the thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2791652&postcount=36
So Snaky, can you share what settings your using? I'm using the defaults with Landscape Right and it works well, but I'd like to get rid of that controller skin on the side if possible.
Awesome! Thank you
this version of snes emulator is much better than before.... but its still... super slow and laggy. is it running perfectly for anyone? if so, what are your settings?
It runs very well for me. Just be sure to disable sound. Now what i am really curious about is if anyone has gotten the gba emulator to run at decent speeds
The link is dead for "n0p's PocketSNES WM5,VGA-compatible Build (02.02.07)" that was recommended in the first post & by Snakie.
Can someone share this file or perhaps an updated link ?
Thanks.
Currenly I'm using Morphgear but the performance is not great. Would like to try this.
Can someone please send me nops snes emulator? the link doesnt work. Im not sure what version I have but when I load a rom it all freezes and nothing happens. The link is down and Ive tried googling for the emulator and they all refer to the same link, I even tried rapidshare and torrents and Im getting nothing.

These are a few non-working apps I discovered when trying to customise my TD2 on day one.
1) HTC's gprs monitor refuses to install.
2) Core player exits on installation complaining about a "problem". - NOW FIXED
3) I already mentioned Tomtom6 on another thread.
Anyone found any others?

As I've seen coreplayer showing video on the Diamond2 in one of the reviews I'd say that something has gone wrong during your customisation.
Core player 1.3 work perfectly on my Diamond 2 !!!!
A problem has occurred with player.exe
Please tell Microsoft about this problem.
That's what happens when I run the program. It installs and appears in the program list but just won't run. I can't tell you what version it was either.
Maybe I should try a different version.
After a hard reset and direct install onto the device from a cab file I can now confirm that Coreplayer 1.3 does work very well on the D2. I have amended my original post. Thanks.
CoPilot Live 7 HTC Touch Diamond Edition does not work with TD2 and CoPilot support phone number is useless for any help.

There is a new updated version of Co-Pilot specifically for the Diamond2, phone technical support on 0871 6412 540 (in the UK) and ask them for the download link, I did and my Co-Pilot is working ok.
If you try and load the D1 version you wont see many of the graphics on the screen, to get round this you can try using a non HTC old version and use the cab file from that, you should be able to find one floating around somewhere. The graphics are still not correct using the old generic cab but its usable.
Thanks for the reply and I did contact them and was given a link to the Diamond 2 program and it works ok.

Can you let me know what that version is? Im running 7.7.0.134 (full version with SD card etc, not Diamond version - which I think is the same but just comes without SD card and CoPilot Central PC app) but thats been the "latest" for nearly a year. Does this "new" version support the 480x800 resolution correctly.
It runs fine, just that the onscreen keys etc appear squashed.
Be grateful if you could let me know.
I just got the latest download v7.8.0.162 from them two days ago and was told by there sales person that the only thing that does not work is the TD2 Zoom Bar.
I have tested the program and it runs very smooth
How does this compare feature-wise to the TomTom mentioned in other threads for the TD2?
Co-Pilot
The version I am running is 7.8.0.162 Data NAVTEQ.EU 07Q3. v7.1.13.1.5, my understanding is that it has a higher screen resolution than the old Diamond 1 version, the menu system is a bit different. I think this version new will also run on the Touch HD.
I was told by Co-Pilot technical support that version 8 is on the horizon and will be out later this year.

In my opinion Co-Pilot is the better choice, for example you can specify the sort of road preferences you would normally drive on for each sort of road and enter the average speed you drive at to create a user profile that is normally quite accurate, there is a better zooming facility on Co P and I usually drive with the screen zoomed out so i can see all the small roads and villages around my route.

Getting an error
I installed the standalone eReader in my HTC HD2. When ever I run it, I get the below error;
the file 'HTCEBookList' cannot be opened. Either it is not signed with a trusted certificate, or one of its components cannot be found. If the problem persists, try reinstalling or restoring this file.

I installed it in the Storage device. My HD2 has the original ROM installed with the following versions;
OS version: 5.2.21869 (21869.5.0.82)
Manila version: 2.5.19211619.0
ROM version: 1.66.415.3 (76641) WWE
Radio version: 2.06.51.07
Protocol version: 15.30.50.07U
What is not right for me?

I hard reset my device and now the eReader opens up. But like others, only shows the list and does not open the books. Nothing happens. It just flickers once and thats it.

YAY!!! The fixed one is working for me! I would like to thank Mr. X for the efforts put in, indagroove for the initiative of the project, steve0007 for this thread, patcat007 for the library, jmart518 & keithdupont from ppcgeeks, HTC for my HD2 (not whole heartedly as I paid for it), Mr. Bill Gates and his team for Windows Mobile 6.5, my parents for nagging me to study so I end up getting a job which can afford me a HD2 and some brains to install this thing, my dog for eating my homeworks, my sister for I don't know why, my wife for supporting me by nagging at me everytime some installation doesn't work and last but not least GOD for techonology...*sniff**sniff* i love you all!
the same here
very good application
I'm not getting an error message, but I'm not getting ebooks either.
When I open the program, it displays the fancy book list, but none of them will open. Adding a book of my own to the Reader-folder doesn't change the list of books either.
I'm on a stock 1.66 dutch ROM.
Too bad, I REALLY want this application...
I had the same problem but just found that if you install it to the device memory it works fine

I did install it to the device memory.
Could it be the dutch ROM? The program opens up fine, but won't open any books.
I have the same issue (on stock WWE 1.66 ROM) - the reader opens, but clicking on the book does nothing. Still, I'm really glad this has been released as a standalone and hope a new release or a new ROM will get it working. Still in love with ALReader in the meantime
I seem to only get the library message If I dont soft reset right after install. As for the other issue I do have to where adding books (using the ebooks indexer cab to add them) the books will display but not open. Using cdma VZW tp2 woth Latest Mighty Rom. Hopefully we can get some help on this.
same problem here. Installed the program, I can see the list of books but will not open them. using 1.66 asian shipped rom.
Exactly what I've been after!!
Fantastic work Mr X . This is exactly what I've been after. I've tried a few 3rd party ereaders and the B&N HTC eReader is IMHO the best reader out there for the HD2.
Now I can go back to my current favourite ROM (stock 1.66WWE)....at least until I can find a UK stock ROM with 576mb RAM enabled
troubleshooting
So neither this version or indagroove's version allow me to actually open the ebooks.
The program installs fine, opens fine into the list of ebooks, but clicking one of them does not open the ebook.
I'm on the dutch stock 1.66 ROM from HTC.
Was running Mobipocket as well, removing it doesn't change anything.
Other programs installed:
-CorePlayer
-Dutty's Task Manager
-LMT
-OpnMarket
-Sony Pictures Player
-Diagnosaurus
-MerckMedicus
So, let's do some troubleshooting:
If it works for you:
-What ROM are you using?
-Does it have the Documents tab installed?
-Are you running any other ebook readers as well?
If it doesn't work for you:
-What ROM are you using?
-Does it have the Documents tab installed?
-Are you running any other ebook readers as well?
-What other programs have you installed that might interfere?
UPDATE: ereader

From what I've read, it seems the standalone ereader cab only works with 2.xx ROMs and above, which makes it partially redundant since a lot of the cooked 2.xx ROMs already have it built in.
At Holy Bear's suggestion above, here ar my findings :- I reflashed my HD2 to 1.66 WWE stock ROM, installed .net 3.5 Framework, installed the ereader .cab to phone memory, installed the ebook indexer .cab. Ran the indexer, looked in my Multimedia folder to find the ebook reader, it was there, but with a standard (ie. unrecognised blue and white window icon instead of the proper eReader icon). It started up and displayed my full library, but wouldn't open any books.
Still a good job by Mr X...just a pity it's no good for me (he said selfishly...lol)
Oh well, the search continues for the perfect ROM
Call History Tab
hi guys,
I am making this thread, because I could not find any CAB to add only add Call History Tab on Manila. I found one, it works well, but it adds also htc reader + tv.... Do u know guys how to add Call History tab only. i hope i do not make some guys angry, because i make a request here. I do not know, where i could make such a request.

That sucks, especially as during the installation it changed all my HTC Sense home screen icons in the Start menu to generic white window pictures, like Calendar, Footprints, Music and Chainfire's HD2 3D Driver Patch icon. I have tried deleting them from the root folder but they just reappear when I soft reset.
If it doesn't work for you:
-What ROM are you using?

- ROM 1.66.405.2 WWE, Manilla 2.5 1921.1619
- No
- Only AlReader, which doesn't 'hook' into anything, and I can't imagine causing issues
- Fairly few: Cookie's Mod, CorePlayer, S2P music player, TomTom
hi.. installed this on my omnia 2 with RFD's HD2 rom beta2... i installed the ereader cab and library manager... it opens fine, but like others, when i click on a book title, it doesnt open... hope somebody can fix this coz i really want it...
Same problem
Hi,
I have the 1.66 italian rom.
Same problem.
Maybe we need .NetCF 3.7 ???
I have 3.5 version installed.
Well, I'll hazard the guess that it only works with 2.xx ROMs based on the fact that it did work on my TP2 which has a 2.07 ROM, though even there it worked quite slowly.
on 1.48 it installs and loads, but as others have found i cannot actually open the book. Mobipocket runs fine.
Hi,
I have tried the Android rom for desire on HD2. Thanks the developers, it is funny. However, I have to report some bugs and hope there is improvement in the future.
1) Sometimes the music player reported "no SD card" detected.
2) Pairing problem with SE bluetooth MW600. Can hear music playing by the phone but cannot make a call/receive a call. The device is functioning very well in WM6.5. Don't know if the bug exists with other bluetooth device.....
3) Cannot mount the SD card under Android platform with PC. Any 3rd party apps can do?
4) Built in Camcorder doesn't work without the optical sensor. Hard to find a 3rd party camcorder from Market!
5) The key at the bottom have no backlite at all. Cannot press the key in darkness.
6) Buttons on HD2 handsfree is not function (play, pause, forward, backward). Also not working for Music player or making calls.
my ROM configure:
Radio: 2.10.50.26
Android version: Android 2.1: darkstone_desirebuild_v5.7z
zImage is 7/23 version
This is old, I recommend you to use the newest Froyo Sense build with Cotulla's newest Kernel -> better experience...
Im using android 2.2 on my hd2 and ive had no trouble with it upgrade to 2.2 it should be ok then
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
And the fact that THIS IS AN ANDROID PORT, your device dosnt run android natively, meaning no everything works like it should, before posting questions STFF, ofcourse things arent working, its a work in progress, not a "place cab on your sd card, install it and BAM! your hd2 magicly transforms into a htc super ultra megatron holy grail perfect android device"....
Thanks bros, I will try your suggestions.
Of course, I know HD2 is not running Android natlively. I just try to report the problems I encountered. I hope the group will work around it and make it perfect.
If no one reports the problem, how can you improve?

I'm looking to buy an HD2 or some other used handset to run and Android build on for now and potentially a build of Win7, when it becomes available. I know the HD2 has the hardware I'm looking for, and based on these posts, it looks likes its running froyo pretty well. I guess what I'm trying to ask is if this handset would be at the sweet spot between most compatible hardware to run the most current builds of Android and best price point for a used handset? i hope that question makes sense to somebody besides me
Hi, i have a acer aspire d255 which has a dual boot with android 1.6, i can download apps and they work but some like angry birds wont install as its 1.6.

Acer D255
I'm also quite keen on any info or hacks for this device. I've got a Acer One D255
with Android 1.6 I barely ever boot into it but has the potential of being quite useful. I'm also quite annoyed there
isn't a market app as this is 95% of android usability, without it there doesn't seem to be much you can do with it.
So what I'm asking is.....
how do I upgrade this version of android.
or how do I install the Market app.
or any other method of getting apps on it.
I'll be keeping a close look at the link posted above, as this may provide some level of success too.
hi so far the only way i have found is to use appstore or apk files installed with a file manager
i have the d255 been playing with it for a few days now the android is1.6 ot the best in the world but it works the down side is there is no market but i can run apps on it if i insall the apk file and it runs some that my wildfire cant it will run live wallpapersand the wifi works with no probs
so what i was woundering is there anybody working on making this better?
and is there anything the rest of use who have the d255 can do to help
thanks

What kind of apps have u been able to install? I tried installing ADW launcher (the only app I tried) but it gave an error parsing the package.
Is the D255 just running the "ordinary" phone android 1.6?
So I've been playing around with it today and I found that you can install .apks that you normally find in the market. I assumed the version running on here was 1.6. I managed to install ADW launcher (gives much more customization) and a lot of other apps. Right now I am going to try installing the Gapps found here: http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php?title=Latest_Version#Google_Apps
I also found that the App Center found on AndoidPIT works and allows you to download apps and install them (at least the one app that I clicked on ). Things like astro and Root Explorer also work. I pulled most of these apps from my phone and installed them and most of them work fine.
It's not android 2.1 (or 2.2 or 2.3 ) but it does make the whole thing a lot more usable.
EDIT: I just read the post above and people already managed to do the same I figured I would give my 2 cents anyway.
