Hey,
Before I get started, I just want to stop all flamers - I have searched and I couldn't find anything for this specific phone.
The specs for the nintendo 64 is a 93.75mhz processor and a 62.5mhz GPU -and people who like to call themselves "educated" in this area say that you need 10x the power to emulate something - and I reckon the HD2 has the power to do it. What do you think?
I think it would be great if this was possible, and just like the fpsece - people would donate to have this ability as we all love the goldeneye on the n64, and to be able to play that on the go would be amazing.
Thanks,

OMG good idea zelda - Ocarina of time all over again..
Love the idea and hope there is a supreme programmer around who loves the idea too..
re
it is a really nice idea, but after all a dream i guess...
remember there where some N64 emulators out, but most of them took years until the could
emulate the standard games like mario kart,mario 64 and some others, there are still many games wich dont run on the emus.The next Problem is the controller...
Perfect 64 is a great N64 emu for PCs, so it has been done well already on other platforms...
I'm going to bump this thread up a bit so it gets some attention. I would also love a n64 emulator for the htc hd2! Would be so awesome to play zelda on my phone! And I agree , I and many others would donate for such a thing.
I know some people have been working on an emulator for the iphone and this phone is much more powerful than the iphone.
You read my mind... N64 on this phone would look awesome!!! we got some genius developers out there. crossing my fingers and praying they listen...
I'd happily part cash for it!
And a FinalBurn emulator, damn my lack of programming knowledge! Where does one begin to learn such technical wizardry?!
Even if we have an emulator for N64, it will be very difficult to play games due to too many buttons for control in N64. And HD2 is not really multitouch, am I right?

Um no you are wrong . Hd2 got multitouch. And a nice button layout combined with the big screen would make it possible to play games pretty good. Atleast slow-paced games would be possible to play without much problem.
Goldeneye oder Perfect Dark on the HD2 would be magnificent!!!
the source code for project 64 is available,
http://www.pj64-emu.com/downloads/
so in theory it is possible.
Ye there are also other open-source n64 emulators out there.
Like:
1964: 1964emu.emulation64.com
Another emulator for the PC
Daedalus: sourceforge.net/projects/daedalus-n64/
Which was the first emulator to emulate n64 on the psp.
DaedalusX64: sourceforge.net/projects/daedalusx64/
Which is a continuation of the original daedalus on the psp. This is the one that currently is the best for n64 emulation on psp.
And all these are open-source. So it should be very possible, I think, to use one of these codes to write an emulator for the HTC HD2. Don't shoot me down now if I'm wrong, I'm just a noob when it comes to programing.
I wish I myself could help getting a project like this started but I know nothing about programing.
What we need are some good and dedicated programmers willing to give this a go.

I think Im not.
Multitouch on HD2 is not like iphone. HD2 only support multitouch for a couple of programs. It will be really difficult to build a n64 emulator, for action games like Zelda play smoothly with multitouch. I completed Zelda by Project64 on PC before.
Did u try emulator like Morphgear, or FpseCE? I had the supporter version of these two, multitouch really does not working so well, still some bugs and problems
No I haven't tried those emulators yet. But even though the multitouch isn't perfect it's playable, from what I understand, and they are both works in progress aren't they? You can at least play it fine if you use a bluethooth controller.
And I can't say anything about how difficult it is to build a program that supports multitouch , since I know nothing about it, but didn't the multitouch version of these emulators come out rather quickly after the hd2 was released? At least it isn't impossible to build a emulator with decent multitouch support.
We just need to get the ball rolling!

Multitouch works very well on both FPSECE and MorphGear. The only reason it isn't very good on MorphGear from the beginning, is because the standard pad sucks HD2 has a capacitive screen, and therefore it is able to use multitouch just like any other multitouch phone (iphone etc), it just requires the programmer to write the program with multitouch support, by using the code from HTC
And a N64 emulator would be awesome
What about games like Ogre Battle though? Underlying point being there are still some worthwhile games that will work well despite the lack of hardware controls and/or multitouch support...
I was searching for this!
I love the idea and would pay (just i have for FpseCE) to get this, i would love zelda on my phone
Seriosly, this is the idea of the century!
Maybe not, but it is a very good idea i would sertainly donate to whomever creates this very much appreciated emulation program!
And as someone else sad before me the multitouch works well if you just put some effort into it and program it right, i have Supporter Version of FpseCE and multitouch works well there!
fantasytozi: *Flame, flame you* Multitouch works perfectly inf FPSEce. ONly thing holding back is y-alignement problem. But multitouch works great.
All: This wont really happen. Who would start work that would take years to program on dying OS? IF there will be some emulators in future, it will be for WP7 (as emulators are best with strong HW and strong HW devices will come only for WP7. So add two years (if there is genius team of programmers) to WP7 release and you have date where first emulator could exist =)

Easy man, that post was when I hadnt tried ur optimized package yet
But honestly, it's been a long time I havent played fpsece. It's great for like rpg games, some action games. But, for action games when u have to hold and charge like Megaman, it's really difficult
Hi guys, I was hoping we could get a project together to work on a Playstation 1 emulator for Android.
What I miss about my HD2 was FPSECE.
Something like this for us Android users (mainly snapdragon) would be awesome!
A paid app for it would be even better. (money going to whoever creates the app, not me)
Tell me your ideas on this!
+1 was thinking about this when i found at that the N900 had a PSX Emu, Chrome Broswer and Firefox :|
PSX Emu is on almost everythin except Android :/

Would be cool.. but I'm sure it would absolutely KILL the battery
How do you plan on controlling games?
I can't really see this being an enjoyable experience, unless you have a BT controller or something and you're sitting on a plane or bus where you can prop your phone up.
Iphone has it... wers its buttons ... as long as touchscreen buttons are correctly layed out across the screen it shud be fine. I dont find it hard to play the snes emu or any other emu on the nexus tbh
Also on the N900 they got the ps3 pad hooked up... maybe thats summet that can be done on android, now that would be...
I'm more interested in a n64 emulator myself.

Maybe somebody could figure or a way to connect a dual shock 3 via bluetooth. lol
I saw that someone managed to get the Wii controller to connect to the iPhone for playing games
This would be absolutely awesome!
Thanks for all the responses guys!
I think we cold make this or a N64 emulator happen for snapdragon devices.
For a physical controller:

bump. Let's get this thread going again!
I would personally love to see this happen and have loads of GI Bill money to DONATE toward the cause!

oooh! that would be awesome.
Maybe someone with C++, linux, and java can help us out
Has anyone tried contacting the developer of Fpsece or the developer of Psx4all? They might be able to help get a ps1 emulator for android.
Yes and was completely ignored...
this is a shame, with android becoming more and more popular, a KILLER app like this could change the tide faster. I hope some bright folks reconsider and make one.
Guys with the way the Nexus handles multi touch, PSX games would be near unplayable. Any game where you are pressing multiple buttons simultaneously will have a big problem translating over. Hell, this even applies to many of the SNES roms there.
sad news i was surprised on how well the hd2 handled it. damn do i miss playing psx on it
PSX emulator would be a waste of time, how do you expect to emulate 2 analog control sticks, 4 buttons and the R1/R2/L1/L2 buttons? Only very basic games would be playable.
Even playing PSX games on a PSP is difficult enough sometimes.

its not a waste of time..its available for windows mobile and works beautifully for the hd2..also on the iphone
and it is almost done..yongzh the creator of the emulators on android and zodttd the creator of the emulators for iphone are working together on it
Yeah thats Pretty much it
I havnt seen one either, golden eye with paintball mode is on if there is one.
I've heard the dev of psx4droid has that as his next android project
An N64 Emu for android would be really great !

Hello to all!
I can see that nobody talk aout this.
Can you suggest some emulators for old consoles wich best suits this device?
I'm using some from android market but those do not have option to save game. That's bad, realy bad. You have to buy full version I guess to have that option.
All in all any sugesstion can help.
Oh, I tried to use snesoid, gamebod, gensoid... but they doesn' work. I'm found them on internet. they work great on my wildfire s but here is no go...
Boysi, a little bit off-topic, but do you think the Status' screen size is good enough to play PlayStation games using the PS Emulator (which has been banned from the market)?
For sega genesis, snes and game boy advance is big enough. I will try psx and than I can tell you.
btw Newer versions of Gameboid, Snesoid, Gensoid... are work great on this phone.

The one that was banned was pretty crap, but FPse is on there and going strong. Works wonders on my Desire, will try it on the girlfriend's ChaCha over the weekend.

got gameboid on my brothers cha cha and it doesnt work, such a shame! I've tried so many emulators on this model but none properly work! why is this?!
I'm using John NES Lite though and I am quite happy with it. I have Super Mario (old time classics, eh) only.
Gameboid, Gensoid, Snesoid, Nesoid... All works for me. Just try to find some new version. For Gameboid you need gba bios file. Just google it. You'll find it, I'm sure.
have you already tried fpse on chacha what is your review

Yeah, I would like to know that too! I am planning to buy it for my sister. who has no interest in Emulators, but still I want to know!
ScummVM and DosBox

Apart from those emulators ScummVM works extremely well on my ChaCha. It sometimes takes me a blank screen when start-ups (only if RAM is low / very low!) but no game crashes whatsoever so far once loaded and I have tried the following games on it successfully:
Day of the Tentacle (CD version)
Beneath a steel Sky (CD version)
Sam and Max Hit the Road (CD version)
You may have to install plugins available on the playstore for some of the games to be supported!
Also try DosBox for older DOS games...still haven't used DosBox extensively yet to fully confirm how well it works for the ChaCha nut with my experience so far it works well (only a week or so trying it out)
I will have my portable shield in half a month so I'm preparing stuff... I wanted to know which are the best emulators for this device. I will mainly use it for this thing. From NES to whatever more I can. And one more question, I know that you can stream a game from PC to the Shield. Is it possible to stream a video?
Noone huh?
Retroarch has a ton of emulators built in from nes to psx, Reicast is a dreamcast emulator (the older version from the play store lags less), Robert Broglias emus from play store used to work great but since the latest shield update they lag, so stick with Retroarch unless you want to root and then change your cpu governor. Mupen64plus AE and n64oid are good n64 emulators but n64oid is outdated. DraStic is the best DS emulator. FPSE and ePSXE are good psx emulators but the one in Retroarch is better. PPSSPP is a good psp emu just make sure you download a nightly build.
