Recently I bought HD2. I have searched most of the top gaming sites and forums, but still not able to find games of a quality offered for iPhone. The hardware and graphic card quality of the phone is the best in its class but still games available in the market are way out dated .
If you people really have some thoughts, please share them.
Thanks,

I tried this option also Kowboy, but still the games are pretty old. Checkout the games available for iPhone and the quality. We are now into the world of God Of War 3, still you want to play Mortal Combat? Strange!!!!!
FPsece0.10 working with CHT Editor ??
Hello!
I have read all the informations about FPsece. But it doesn't work on my HTC HD2. I install it like the support say it to me. When I start the Emu,I only see the "LOAD CD-Rom File" Screen(grey). And I see the games in .iso . If I select a game the only thing it happen is, a short time black sceen and then the screen turns back to Home screen. But the top of the Home screen(the bar which shows "Start", "Network", "Sound", "Accu") stays BLACK.
What's wrong??
This Emu works with .iso, .bin, correct?
Is CHT Editor a problem for working FPsece?
Data of my HTC HD2:
BS: Windows Mo 5.2.21869
Manlia: 2.5.20121429
ROM : 1.72.207.0
ROM- Date : 02/23/10

Are you saying that God of War 3 is available on the iPhone, or are you now comparing the HD2 to a PS3?
Yes, PSX games are pretty old, but that has nothing to do with their quality and blatant superiority to anything the iPhone has to offer. The PSX was a dedicated games console, and is obviously therefore better than any phone on the market today, for games. Show me any fighting game on the iPhone that comes close to Tekken 3.

I have no idea why you would think that, since the CHTEditor has absolutely nothing to do with the emulator, but I will tell you now, 100% guaranteed, that your problem has nothing whatsoever to do with the CHTEditor.
I suspect your problem is that you've downloaded the game images, rather than ripped them yourself. If you have ripped them yourself, rip them again, but at the slowest speed available.

Im sorry but most of the games on the iPhone as far as i can see are a complete joke. Some are absolutely brilliant but very very few.
Take a look at Street Fighter 4 on iPhone as a perfect example... 1 button for punch, 1 button for kick and the other buttons do the special moves for you... talk about dumbing down your game for your target audience.
There is no mobile device in the world that has as many quality games available as the original Playstation One library. Yes they are old but that doesnt mean they arent better then anything that is new. Most of them in fact are MUCH better then the newest mobile games on any platform.

I am not saying that God of War 3 is available on iPhone or trying to compare HD2 with PS3. My emphasis is on the latest technology. Have you ever tried to run Tekken 3 on PS3 (event though it is not compatible)? I hope, the answer is NO.
I have been using iPhone from last couple of months. As far as the gaming experience is concerned, undoubtedly it is much much better than HD2. Just have a look at Hero of Sparta or Blades Of Fury then you will realize how much outdated the games are for HD2 in the market.

I have actually played Tekken 3 on a PS3. It is compatible, if you don't have one of the newer PS3s.
My point was that there are a slew of PS1 games that completely wipe the floor with any game currently available on the iPhone. All those games are playable on the HD2.
I have been using FPSEce for many months. As far as the gaming experience is concerned, undoubtedly it is much much better than the iPhone. Just have a look at Tekken 3, Driver, Wipeout or Final Fantasy then you will realize how basic the games for the iPhone are, in the market. After all, they're being blown away by games, some of which are over 12 years old.

I've got xtract 2 on mine, installed to the storage card, so it definitely asked me. You could always just copy the folder out of \Program Files\ and then edit the shortcut.

lol... did you even read my previous post?
Hmmm.
OK, so there are no HD2 specific games, but surely had research been done regarding WinMo, that would have been realised before purchase? And disappointment adverted.
There are a few games using Open GLES, but what mobile game can even come close to playing Tekken or Metal Gear Solid (which are full console layer games) on your phone.
Anyway, I have downloaded BIN/CUE files from a particular online resouce , and apart from issues with playing background music and sound effects at the same time, all is great! I really cannot be bothered to purchase a PSX disc and rip them myself, so I will just continue to download them.
Is anyone able to explain why ripping a disc at a slower speed is better from the ROMs and FPSECE?
Thanks.

From my knowledge of ripping disks way back in the day when i first discovered fpsece (about ten years ago!)... its because you get less bit errors when ripping at a slower speed therefore the emulator wont throw a spaz when it finds something out of place.

Hey,
does anyone know whether there's a first person shooter for the HTC HD2? I've seen one once on the Iphone and I figured, if the Iphone can do it, surely the Leo can do so as well!
Or... does anyone know another really good game for the HTC HD2, i tried a couple so far, but they all were quite disappointing...
Cheers
theres call of duty and doom and whatnot, just not specifically for a hd2.
I personally am pretty fond of this game i bought called 'cops and robbers', really, all u do is press 3 (or just 1) buttons, but its nicely old school, time the presses or the cops get u, bscly.
Im also very eager for FPSEce 0.10, wich will be out soon, its a psx emulator, and 0.10 version is aimed at snapdragon&widescreen devices www.fpsece.net

Well, they all need a joystick/dpad and sometimes other buttons as well (such as Enter), so few of them are playable on HD2.

Any ideas when? I waited for 9 months with my Omnia when they said 0.10 was out and nothing got released!!
Just saw a video on youtube of new multiplayer FPS on iphone, looks like quake 3 engine.
Makes me wonder if I did the right decision by buying hd2 :-/
I can only hope that someone will give a damn about windows mobile and port some games over.
I'd like to port Zombie Mansion to the HD2. I have a win mobile version working already with improved weapons.
But I need to get proper multitouch support or it would be completely unplayable.

If you're that much into mobile gaming: yes, you made the wrong decision. The number and quality of games for WM won't improve much in the near future...(maybe that'll change with WM 7).

i can really recommend tower defense it is quite expensive but it is a class A+ game
Does anyone know who is making games for wm 6.5...Tell them to make some 1st person shooters or third person like they do for android.If some **** samsung with 600mhz processor can play those good games then hd2 with 1ghz can do it too
They are not fps, but I enjoyed palm heroes, Viking saga,deer hunter,everquest,Final fantasy. Space trader was a laugh. I try keep fps games off my hd2. I'm too heavy fingered.

Those games aren't free and they're not fantastic either.
Ferrari Evolution is too fast on the HD2, can hardly control it...graphics aren't WVGA either so it's not fantastic.
GH5 is OK but it's slow and jerky...At first i thought it was my phone but after watching videos of it on youtube, alomost every OS it was made for is jerky and hard to play...only the Android one was smooth....DATA is also a requirement to play it...i never played it again...it came with my HD2 also...but it's too horrible to play...
Thanks for the info peaceboy. Good to know.

tmo hd2 with its supersized rom and expanded ram is the best phone out there. it kills all the iphones they cant even multitask.android runs programs without your permission so your phones ram is full after just an hour or so without you even using it and the android email sucks compared to windows mobile--android cant run but a few video formats--winmo can play anything.
guitar hero 5played smooth all the way on the hd2. my cliq(android) hangs up if you try to do anything. i hope motorola ends up upgrading it to android 2.1 so i can at least get turn by turn. motorola has really let people down.
hd2 is windows mobile at its best. you can make it just right for you.
I wouldnt post guitar hero here if it is the full game, that might cound as Warez

You can get most of these and other games and apps here

More nice games please... Thank you.
still searching for the tetris game on the US HD2... or a link to the manufacturers site would be nice too
I will be getting an HD2 tomorrow (hopefully) and have been doing research about alot of different things for it... one thing is games - I have seen alot of games and none of them seem to be using the specs of the HD2 very well.... I would expect a phone like this to be able to have some very nice games, I understand it is quite new and maybe there aren't any out yet...but could you please let me know what is out there so far? I have only seen things like xtkart (I believe that is how it is spelled) and the ps1 emulator... so I was wondering what you guys have or what else is out there that is in accordance with my recommendation ?
Thanks in advance!
XTRAKT, Experiment 13 and Electopia demo are by far the best games for hd2! avatar, asphalt 4 and nfs undercover are great too!
man.. its just that i'm not interested in racing games...
i wouldn't mind some good ol tetris.. but with nice visuals that take advantage of the hd2 specs...

Ferrari GT2 Revolution looks BOMB on HD2. MiniGolf Wacky World looks also nice
the ferrari game runs 'terribly' on the US HD2.....they should be embarrassed....constant lag and slowdown. :O(
so basically to answer your question... there are none....... yet... don't lose hope... things will turn as soon as 7 comes out
yeah im not sure there are any games that fully take advantage of the hd2 hardware.
thats not to say that there arent any good games because there are PLENTY!

On my German HD2 with stock ROM it works brilliantly without any freezes etc.
@ Topic: You have to keep in mind that it is a Windows Phone. If you wanna have a phone for playing only then you have to buy an iPhone or sth. like that. Nevertheless I got more than 20 brilliant HD2 games that brought me hours of fun during long train trips.
wow, i wonder why the one on the us hd2 runs so poorly.........it stutters sooooo badly that it's barely playable......i didn't buy this phone to play games but since they were included i certainly checked them out, that's why i'm so shocked that they included a game that runs like crap, lol, not a good advertisement!
the graphics suck on that game too, not up to the HD2 par in my opinion...the game market for this phone is disappointing! =\..
By the time Windows 7 comes out you said ? Yeah, but the HD2 would still be stuck on windows 6, remember ?....I wonder if the games will be comaptible though? or If someone will come up with a perfected windows 7 rom for the HD2 ? Or at least a perfected android rom... then maybe we will have some decent games ? Otherwise I hope the developers are working on some great games otherwise the hardware will be going to waste for the most part...
I would take a look over at pda4you.org, if i was you guys..
So I've had my phone for a couple weeks now, I was hearing all this buzz about how awesome Android is now and how far it's come so I just took the plunge. The phone has been fun to use and explore as far as widgets are concerned etc... but if I would ever make this my full time device it would have to do everything that my other phone (iPhone4) does. This brings me to the games... so far on the market all I've seen are pretty shoddy looking atari or nintendo looking games, where are all the graphically intensive and/or beautifully designed games in the market? How do I find games that actually take advantage of the GPU in my phone (Galaxy S)?
Gameloft has bunch of 3D games like Avatar and Assiasin's Creed for Android on their website, I can't post links so just google it or go to Gameloft.com and go to their Android section.
Also, emulators

Why don't you go buy a dumb flip phone and supplement it with a PDA? Oh, maybe because you want one device to do multiple things? Imagine that. With phones like the Epic out, phones are starting to pack some pretty nice GPUs - you shouldn't dismiss gaming just like that.
To the OP: Check out Gameloft's stuff like someone else mentioned, they really are top of the line, but they refused to list their games in the marketplace. SNESoid, NESoid can run SNES/NES games. There's also some decent paid games in the Marketplace, you can usually find a demo or Lite version to try. With more people flocking to Android, more developers will start creating fleshed out games other than Bejweled clones (hopefully).

I wonder why people say garbage like oh get a PSP if you want to play games, Or if you want to use a navigation system get a gps, etc. I for one buy a device so I can do it all with one device. Or else I wouldn't buy it. End of point.
oh if you want a phone buy a land line phone instead it works better??? Logical I think not!

Except Gameloft that begins to bring its Iphone hits to Android, there are few 3D games on our favorite platform.
Few days ago, I played Asphalt 5, that's not a bad game, because Gameloft proposed some free demo versions on its website (not avalaible n the market)
You can also try some good games you can find on the market like Speed forge 3D or Replica Island (not in 3D but a very good game).
At least you can try emulators (gensoid, gameboid...)

You need psx4droid...
And you'll need the bios of the ps and images of the files...
FFVII runs really well (on samsung i9000)
You should try quake3droid if you like FPS games. It's awesome.
Wow this phone is fast! N64 and PS1 at full fps with sound! Almost kind of boring when you don't have to tweak a ton of settings just to make the roms playable
I've been into emulation on every device I've owned, so its how I benchmark the relative performance from one device to the next. Coming from a N900, this G2X blows it out of the water. My N900 could play SNES at full fps but turning the sound on would slow it down. The N900 could play N64 and PS1 but they were really slow at ~10fps skipping at least two or three frames without sound.
So N64 and PS1 emulators were the best I had to throw a the phone and it handles it no problem. I'd like to see what the phone can really do. Its starting to feel like this phone might be pretty close to my laptop (older 2Ghz C2D) in emulation performance; blows my mind to even think that. Is there a PS2 emulator anywhere? I read a rumor that said Nvidia might put out a PS2 emulator but I wasn't sure how true that was. I'm assuming if Nvidia puts the emulator out then it would be optimized for Tegra2 and actually use both CPU cores and the graphics chip so the games might actually run OK-ish.
If not, what is everyone else using to push the phone? I don't really care about quadrant benchmarks or anything like that.
Oh BTW, this is my first Android device so excuse the noobness of me not knowing what software exists

haha yeah its my first I've been reading about Android since it was announced and I've played with different versions on emulators and I actually had my N900 dual booting Froyo, but this is my first actual Android device. I'm a little bit of a software nerd so I like trying out different OS's. Meego, Maemo, WebOS, Palm, WinMo CE 6 and 5, Android 1.5-2.3; I've spent some time with all of them. I even lurked for a while before my join date. Not too much of a noob in general, just with the world of 3rd party software for Android.
So anyway, back on topic. Does a PS2 emulator exist for Android? What's everyone running to test out their new G2X?

But anyway, It really is an amazing device...much more powerful than the netbook I bought just last year. But then again, I remember just how crazy fast my home built 50MHz 486 with 512 Kb of RAM was. Amazing time to be alive...
Damn, I feel old...
No PS2 Emulator out for Android yet.
As a general rule it takes around 4 or 5 times the processing power to correctly emulate a system (give or take). The PS2 has a 128bit processor running at 300MHz with multiple coprocessors. I think we are getting close but not quite there.
Yeah I realize the G2x won't run PS2 perfectly, especially if its run completely off the CPU it might not run at all. That's why I was hoping there was more to the Nvidia PS2 emulator rumor...
Oh well, it's not like I wont have fun playing with N64 and PS1, its just too easy.
Just like older phones with SNES and other emulators, you have frame skipping and stuff to help the frame rate.
I think the PS2 is overkill but whatever.
I just think its funny that Sony is coming out with a new PSP Android phone to run PS1 games that we can already do for free using our own backups.

Overkill is the whole point. What software are you using to push your G2X?
I agree with that last part, it is pretty funny. It seems like a pretty cool phone though, I just don't buy sony.

Wow this phone is fast! N64 and PS1 at full fps with sound! Almost kind of boring when you don't have to tweak a ton of settings just to make the roms playable

What are you using for controls when playing the N64 games?
What emulators is everyone using for the G2x with success?
I have DLed a few but lost all my roms with my HDD so haven't tried them out yet.
I couldn't get PS1 emulation working with my own backups or others

I've only tried N64oid and FPse, both work really well for me so far. I'm just using the onscreen controls right now. I tried to get the accelerometer working for the left dpad/stick but I still have some tweaking to do to get it the way I like it. Still, the accelerometer doesn't feel natural with these games, they weren't really designed to be controlled that way.
Id like to get one of those iControlpads, its bluetooth so it should work. It's just kinda of pricy so I'll wait to hear of other people using it with a G2X first.
speaking of slide out gamepads, I'm surprised something like This hast come out yet. It would be perfect for me.
Yea i like the IcontrolPad as well, but like you said its a bit expensive.
If you don't mind not being able to hold the phone this one is great

Its the Wii retro controller with bluetooth built in, no nunchuck needed. People have used it with Blueputdroid.
I figure I can just plug the Micro HDMI into the TV and USB for power with this controller and have portable classic gaming
Nice! If anyone gets that bluetooth remote working let me know please...I would love to use some emulators using hdmi and the BT controller!
I dont have any on my phone yet cause I really dont like playing on the touchscreen...but with the controller would be sweet!

so far until someone works on the drivers or the bluputdroid dev supports the phone its not going to happen on a stock G2x rom. Ive seen it does work on CM7 roms however I haven't tried myself.
I'm half tempted to try a nightly but i like having a stable phone.
my controller should be here any day so if HDMI out is working on CM7 I will probably give it a try
I currently use a one handed bluetooth gamepad. It works with Fpse, Psx4droid, N64oid, Gameboid, Snesoid and Gensoid. Plus i have the belt clip kickstand. I just sit back on the bus or train to work and play FF7, Super Smash Brothers, Tekken Advanced, Killer Instinct and of course Sonic.

I was wondering where those were in stock. the one handed control would be weird for a while i bet

Just ordered one of those from Ebay...shipping from Europe though...and the wait is killing me. I thought it looked iffy at first. Glad to hear you've had good results with it. Not a lot of inputs...but I guess four buttons and a directional is enough for most anything.

Go to the android market and download them.
You should be able to find all but the n64, emulator which should be re released soon.
