Fuze emulator for pc?

Is there a publicly available Fuze/Diamond/Raphael emulator that I can run on my pc? I've done some searches, but only find info on emulators that run on the fuze itself. I would like to test some ROMS I'm trying to cook up, but as an obsolute beginner, I would like to test things without installing them on the phone itself.
Thanks!

There's a generic Device Emulator available from microsoft, but you have to use the Device Emulator drivers, and as a result you can't test a number of things (like the navi pad, accelerometer, etc)
It's not realistic to emulate a device to the point where the drivers would function on it, it would be an extreme amount of work (for each device, too!)

The emulator from Microsoft does not allow ROMs to be flashed to it. There isn't an emulator that allows you top test your own ROMs.

Thanks for the answers! Maybe I'll just have to pony up and get a second phone .
I first heard of such a beast when I was on the phone with a tech from FireThorn trying to work out a cert problem. He mentioned he wasn't using a phone on his end... just an emulator. I wonder if he was using the Microsoft product.

Just suck it up and flash your phone with your own roms. As long as you don't do anything super-stupid, like include a radio from the topaz or something like that, you won't brick the device. Just keep another rom handy that boots up fine if you need it in a pinch. Seriously, it's not that big of a deal, and the first time or two that you flash with your own rom, you'll get a nice rush, like the first time you unlocked the phone and flashed someone else's cooked rom.
Now, there are things you can do if you're cooking a lot and want to see if something you added (like a reg key) is 'sticking.' Look in the temp\dump folder of the kitchen, and examine the initflashfiles.dat to see if your start menu is ok. Look at the .hv files with ceregeditor to see if registry changes were compiled a-ok. Look at config.txt to see if your add2configs were compiled (and look for the corresponding cabs, etc, that you want to run during compilation). Look around for annoying shortcuts you're trying to remove, and see if they're still there. There's a lot you can do without flashing, too. I've seen Arrupenthal say that he flashes a non-booting rom like 3 times a week. It's annoying (hasn't happened to me in probably 100 cook/flash cycles, but I'm pretty conservative), but it won't kill your phone.

[Q] Xperia Play PS1 FPSE help.

So this may be a little annoying to some members because there are probably threads out there somewhere however, I am new to this website (friend suggested it) and i am new to android and xperia play.
So i'm a little miffed at the lack of serious ps1 titles on it and i was hoping Sony would release more now that the tablets are out and using the same software but they aren't.
Is there anyone who could explain in clear steps as i am a technical noob and have no idea what i am doing with this phone, how to get ps1 emulators/roms to work well?
I've read about FPse and such but i have no idea how to work it or how to make sure it runs games properly. So i wouldn't wanna pay for it and then not know how to use it.
Any help would be really grateful.
Thanks

FPSE is really simple.
1) Extract the BIOS from your PSX (it's illegal to download them...).
2) Extract the ISOs from the disks of the PSX games you own (it's illegal to download them...).
3) Install FPSE and put the BIOS file and the ISO you want to play inside your SDCard.
4) Run FPSE. It will ask you for the BIOS you've ripped. Go to the folder where you've extracted it using the program's file manager, and click on the BIOS file.
5) Now you can do the same procedure to select the ISO you want to play. You have different options to configure the emulator to your liking.
6) Get an idea of what you're doing to your phone. No one is going to spoon feed you everything.

Hey, thanks for the reply and I appreciate it.
I own the majority of ps1 games that I want to play so I can just
rip those using imageburn right?
I dont expect to get spoon fed anything but as im still relatively
new to my phone I also wouldnt want to install an app or mess
with settings without knowing the right way to go about it.
Again thank you for the steps, will use these when trying it out.

Is it true that multiple disc titles run into problems though when disc switching?

Not on fpse. There is a handy Eject button so you can pop in the new disc as you need it.

Games not supported, found a way to install! (Kinda)

So, after countless hours of searching and trying many ways to install some of my favorite games from my bionic to my tab, I had found 0 luck. (Completely stock tab and phone, Free games just not compatible) I stumbled on something interesting though:
The ES FIle explorer allows you to back up apps on your phones sd card! So, with that said, I did that... plug my phone into my PC, copied the backup file, drag and droped onto my tab, and boom, it worked! No longer do I have to play my games in a foreign language! I have only tried 2, but had success with the game working and I have to head off to work...
The one down side is, the backup is for a phone sized GUI, so I did run into some control problems, but Im sure this could be remedied i *think* by using another compatible tab device, backing it up on that tab, then repeating the process! (IE.., Moto Xoom, w/e 10.1" tab) My wife just so happens to have a xoom, so I shall try it out and report back in a day or two!
Just wanted to share!

The backup isn't for a phone sized gui, the app is. Each app has settings for all the resolutions it supports...

[Q] downloadfile-x.apk, Invalid Package File, The Package was not signed correctly.

I've seen countless threads on these 2 errors, but I just found something intriguing on my android device.
This one is a Measy U1A android stick (the ones that you connect to your TV via HDMI). A truly nice piece of hardware, but it seems to have some issues.
Since day 1 I can't install apps most of the time. Yes, *most* of the time. 80% I get the "Invalid Package file" error, another 10% of the time I get a "Package was not signed correctly", but curiously enough, a 10% of the time the packages go through and install correctly.
Of course, this gets on my nerves.
Now, I'd really want to know what's going on and I'd love some help from the true Android experts.
This is what I've already done:
Got a Log Viewer to see what was going on.
At first it said that was an error downloading (more on this later)
Then other times it said that there was no signature for X or Y file INSIDE the apk file (I remember some libraries, I was trying to install netflix on my tests)
So, I tried to tackle the download error by checking the space (df), I found that /data had few space remaining, so I cleared stuff from it. Now I have 308Mb free, more than enough to download Netflix (14Mb download). I'm talking about /data since I found out that the downloadfile-x.apk files get downloaded to /data/data/com.android.providers/downloads/cache
Tried again, nothing. Ok, so I thought that maybe there was some weird error in the /data partition. I created a directory on the sdcard portion of the stick and linked it (ln -s). Same issues. I created a directory on my external sd card and liked to it, and the same.
Now, for the weird part, and this is where I'd love some insight:
Out of 5 downloads, ES File Explorer got installed correctly, and I got a bunch of EQUALLY SIZED downloadfile-x.apk files on that directory, but NONE OF THEM HAS THE SAME MD5 SUM. Weird? Yep, but that could only mean 3 things: Either there's a problem with my wifi/network stack, or the /data, /sdcard, /mnt/extsd partitions ALL have errors in them. The 3rd option is that Perhaps Google signs every download with a different salt and that's the reason they are all different. But I DON'T THINK THE 3rd OPTION IS LOGICAL OR PRACTICAL.
Now, I don't have access to recovery here... well, I haven't tried but there's no obvious option, perhaps CWM but I don't want to risk it too much since it ran Ubuntu for a while and now that won't boot (that's another topic, unable to debug it since I can't see anything on the screen until it boots).
I've already tried:
1. Deleting Play Cache and Data, rebooting
2. Deleting Play and installing it again (it took several tries because of the same issue)
3. Factory Default and logging to my google account again
4. FIRMWARE UPGRADE (yes, I found a new firmware, it seems faster and more stable, but I still have that issue).
Now, I haven't found a memory checker or a "nand" (as you call it) checker on the app market, do these apps exist? I'd love to rule this out.
Thanks if anyone has another option, as I said, I'm out of them. The funny thing is that once the apps are installed THEY WORK FINE!!!!
Please help, I just can't spend 15 minutes to install each app that I want :laugh:
I know my way around Linux, so don't be afraid to suggest crazy things :fingers-crossed:
*The only thing I still want to do is to be able to boot Linux again and perform some tests from there*

No one?

hey dude
finally a fellow measy u1a user.....
where r u from???
regarding the package invalid problem the rom of the device isnt exactly signing the package while installing....hope measy would release an update(i know its impossible)
i tried installing mk808 firmware but couldnt despite tampering its kernel code
no use of factory reset as it just installs the already existing os
p.s
i am trying hard to find a wifi remote control app to control this dongle from my sammy galaxy r mobile but no luck did u do anything like that??

Mexico City here.
I found a firmware update, it makes the homepage icons bigger, changes the boot screen and overall feels faster. But I still have the same error.
As for the remote control, I found a vnc server that can be run on the dongle, and any vnc viewer can be used to control it.
I got a Rikkomagic III (not S, silly me), and let me say, that thing kicks the U1A over the window, performance is great but it has no bluetooth.
I'll keep trying to find a solution for my issue, as the Rikkomagic works fine.

That's the server. You need a VNC viewer for your phone

As of now there is only one app . Remodroid which works as per requirement
you can download it from play store. you need to install in both the Dongle and cellphone . it works well.but sluggish at times

Gameboy advance emulators

Hi all,
Not sure if many of you have experience with this. I've got all three of the gba emulators from the screen shot.
All need a .gba file to run the game. No problem I have many of these files passed to me by a friend years ago.
I put Pokémon on a while ago (yes I know haha) and it ran fine, so I went ahead and out a few others on (street fighter, harvest moon) but none of these .gba files work. They were stored on a different hdd to Pokémon but surely this can't make a difference?
Anyone know if there's a way of analyzing the files somehow to see if they should work or making them run some other way?
I can attach the files if this helps?

They all work on my emulator on the pc, just not on the phone whilst Pokémon does?

Hmm, seems they work when I email the files over. But not when put on sd card. Strange

Guys, emulators themselves are ok to discuss… as that's not warez. But discussing games is.
