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.

Be sure to check out GenesisPlus too while you're at it .
So I've been noticing that after a certain amount of use my Hero eventually slows down to the point where typing on the keyboard is frustrating because of the slow response. I did some searching and I came across this online
http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=3453
since I'm no where near the level of a dev, I figured I'd put this out there and see if anyone can make heads or tails of it, and possibly create a signed-zip so we can just use the update feature in the recovery screen to flash it to our system.
Seems legit as a fix, and apparently this was something that was a known problem with Android 1.5 that I guess has been fixed with 2.0.
Any Dev help would be hot.
Excellent. Thank you for tracking that down.
The TL;DNR explanation: Location services are causing multiple "heartbeats" on the phone all on top of each other. One guy counted as many as 253 in 5 seconds. This consumes the CPU. I will look at the patch.
Would disabling location services be a temporary fix?

Yes. We're pretty close to 2.1 though so shouldn't need more then that.
ive seen this problem too but not until recently, it lags the phone and drains the battery amazingly fast.

I'm taking a wait and see approach on the 2.1 progress right now, what's there looks very promising but without the camera, accel., & (for me anyway because I do have alot of apps that i use) a2sd, I'm content with Fresh 1.0, just wanna get help get that issue solved cuz I'm sure I'm not the only one who is experiencing it.
PS: I know I said I have alot of apps, but I know that's not the cause because the same thing happened when I did a wipe and just left things "stock" with Fresh Rom 1.0 for a few days
If they got the accel and wifi tether working, I'd make the jump to 2.1, but I need the accel for work, and the wifi tether for internet.
What app can be used to show the system_server process? I use task manager but it isn't listed. I want to monitor this process.
Also, does anyone know about the patch? How Do you apply it?
1) I can't answer the first question. I just took the advice here and turned all location services off. My phone is back to its snappy self. The only way I'm really impacted by having to do this right now (I'm sure I'll use this phone for more after 2.1) is using google maps. I already kept GPS off when I wasn't using it but having to go into the settings and allow Location Setting before using gmaps is a PITA.
2) I know very little about android and ROM DEV but think the "patch" is programming code, only useful to people who know how to read and write it.

RoboTop???
You can use DDMS from the Android SDK toolkit to monitor processes running on the phone. Should be able to pull up a process list from there.
Now, I'm using Locale but not with Location settings for my different profiles. I also have Location settings turned on for use with Google Maps as well as the HTC Flip Clock / Beautiful Widgets Home. Surprisingly, my system_server process is sitting at 0% right now, and the phone has been on for over a day. Both DDMS and running "top -n 1" in the adb shell confirm this. If there's much of a change over the day, I'll be sure to let you know. So, it's possible that HTC found and fixed this issue with their SenseUI CDMA 1.5 build. Unlikely, but possible.
So I was seeing this issue even with the modified services.jar from that thread. Granted I didn't test it very long and it was only maxing out at 1%, but it was enough for me to feel that it wasn't working.
I have since removed HTC's location service. After rebooting it looks as if because the phone couldn't find HTC's service anymore it installed the stock one. Time to see if it makes any difference.
with my BB for example there was an application which rebooted your phone at a custom time that u have set .. is there an application that can be used to do the same with the hero? ... reboot device while u are sleeping.. so it runs nice and quick for u the next day?

On the Fresh ROM thread I thought you said that it was using 16% previously... and is this an issue that's apparent immediately or is it something that gets worse with time?
Any chance of including the modified services.jar in the next release even if it doesn't immediately appear to make a difference? I mean, if it's not crashing things and is supposed to be an improvement, then why not stick it in there, right?
Just read nearly that entire chain of messages. now somebody (fresh, ima callin you out!) dooo eeeet!
What's the word on progress for this in Fresh ROM? I have found it to be a very significant issue for me (and apparently so has my roommate), as I use location services quite a lot. GMaps being most in particular, but some other apps as well (Aloqa, Sprint Navigation). I'm really glad there's a workaround that doesn't involve a reboot!
I looked at the other link and I have downloaded both the services.jar file and the LocationManagerService.patch. Which one should I apply and do I apply it? I am having problems with this now.

The bug is that it gets worse over time. I can include it for sure. I believe the reason it's not working is because our hero's code is all stored in services.odex, not services.jar. And I haven't been able to deodex that file yet. But I'll include it regardless because it can't hurt.

I'm working on testing whether disabling HTC's location service will fix our issue. However with the release of the kitchen I was rebooting my phone non-stop. Impossible for me to know if it was working or not.

The patch is designed to apply to the source, so that won't help you. The services.jar would replace the one that's already there.
turning off location has been a dramatic difference in speed. its obvious theres something to that. it would get so bad the whole phone would lag
hi ppl ive just been messing around with the new Fpsece emulator for the hd2, however when i try to play metal gear solid i get the sound consistantly looping. On top of that the game seems to be running extra fast.
Has anyone had similar problems and if so is there a fix for it?
thanks in advance
i have metal gear solid here but i didnt make it a pocketiso rom so far. go check http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=606698 sooner or later i will post a video about that game aswell. for the sound issue go check fpsece forum ... there are tons of threads about that
yh ive tryed some of there suggestions with no luck. Im also using an uncompressed version. What settings and plugins did u use to get the game running smoothly?
LastSPU=0peopspu109.dll => remove the 0
and try
EnableHLE=off => ON
RunSPUsync=off => ON
UseOtherMDEC=off => ON
Please try the one after the other, not all of them at the same time, if it changes nothing for MGS, PLEASE SET BACK THE ORIGINAL VALUE or it may crash many other games
One of these tricks is supposed to be the good one for MGS
tryed this several times , no luck
anyone got any other ideas?
Hmmm....now that I have an HD2, I'll check it out, this game is particularly hard to run, but I got it working under Schtruck instructions, so ut's possible, I now have to remember the correct settings
thanks i900frenchaddict, i look forward to ur update
i know this post is old as hell but... it seems people still have trouble with mgs on hd2.
so so... heres a lil help which WILL HELP YOU for sure.
this is for 0.11 supporter version of the emulator so don't ask me about official 0.10.
1) run one time Metal Gear Solid
2) select in menu option External SPU and SPUsync.
3) Exit
4) open the ini file of MetalGear Solid into CFG directory
5) at the bottom of the file is the config of PEOPSU, configure like that:
[SPUPeops]
UseXA=1
Volume=1
XAPitch=0
UseTimer=2
SPUIRQWait=1
DebugMode=0
RecordMode=0
UseReverb=0
UseInterpolation=0
DisStereo=0
UseDBufIrq=0
Don't forget to download and install new core package which is linked into the email you received. it include the last version of peopspu109.dll.
Now you can run perfectly with MetalGear Solid, use Overclock function to get good speed.
(copied this tip from official fpsece forums, posted by "schtruck" himself)
So MGS runs just fine. k? =)
cheers!
finally, confirmed working perfectly no sound or video bugs thanks for the info.
As I`ve posted before some code in most new kernels is causing some issues while using my car's handsfree set(vw) I get random disconnects.
So as I like Super D and I like latest dwang's rom. I mixed both of them and took the best of both roms. What you get with this rom is latest Super D with the best kernel that's working for me.
i don't take any credit from it, I'm sharing a good setup working for me. I just took all the work done by people involved in Super D and Dwang's rom. Apart from that I also included advanced launcher themed by eesel with cyanogen's tray shape.(thanks rogro82, cyanogen and eesel)

Trying will report back
thanks for sharing friend!
Edit:
1. Speed is good
2. Sometimes launcher lags in sweeping
3. No MT anywhere, well thats the Kernel thing
4. sign-in page force-closed on me many times but got over with that
5. Killing all the apps gives 60 MB free, wwhile on SD default kernel we get around 45 MB, this is great!
6. application response is very very quick
7. wall-paper gallery is older
Thats all for now....hope it helps those wanting to try this ...
Cheers,
I am not having those issues. Have you wiped everything before flashing? I didn't have any force close in the whole friday.
I have to research how to solve multi touch issue, because dwangs rom supports it
Wow, superb work. I may test it asap.
Hows battery life compared to stock SuperD? That was the thing put me away from Dwangs (and the random reboots).
Thankyou!
sounds interesting.

-no idea then, coz mine asked for re-inputting log-in information again and again. although everythhing was setup (meaning, synching was running while it was still bugging for signing in to google after I did it once)
Coming to your question, ya I always do full wipe, no matter what.
Your Mod definitely runs fast, congrates, and the force close is only stopped once you ignore signing in request and press Home button - done!
MT is an issue fr me, not that I use it while browsing web or Gallery very often but I like to have it for the sense of completeness
Good Job, I am now back to SupD tho.
P.S. Battery was not checked since I only stayed on this rom for less than an hour, not enough time right?
cheers
Battery life *seems* good so far
Multitouch is working indeed BUT not in the browser nor the photo gallery, I still have to look for more info. If you want to try it run MT visualizer. I 'm sure it's something about multitouch being handled in different way by donut or eclair.
I just flashed it without a wipe.
It works fine for me so far, but it should be mentioned that it is the white version
But i like suprising graphical changes

60 MB free? "
It use ramhack, compcache and swap?
BTW.. seriously.. The kernel have ramhack, right?
Now I'm using the rom SuperCSDI V1, and with the SupSetup I can turn on or off APP2SD.
I think it's a great thing, because installing apps on NAND they run a lot faaaaaaaaaaster! So I install default apps in NAND, and other apps in ext partition.
If I found a way to do it in this rom, I'll try it
PS: If you don't use compcache or swap and it have 60mb free on killing.. ramhack can be removed to use 3D application

OMG i have the same exact issue with the random disconnecting. its been prevalent in every rom since cyan's 4.2.6 (and dwangs, super D, etc). I've tried pushing the older working "bluetooth.apk" from 4.2.6 to the newer builds with no success at all. Did you recompile the ROM to make it work? The perfect ROM to me would be Super D 1.9.2 with no ram hack and working bluetooth.
good work though, im willing to sacrifice 3D games for working bluetooth though so i may give this a run... *subscribed!*
sounds good flashing
nice Rom, but it only has 3 screens, and i don't like the launcher. Despite those things its great, i did a few tests
benchmark
lowest - 625
highest - 1084

after killing all of the tasks i had 50mb

What hands free set do you use?
I've read that you can solve it by editing /etc/bluez/audio.conf as follow
enable=
Disable=Headset,Gateway,Source,Control,Sink
uncoment #Master=true and replace it by Master=False (mind the caps)
It's working for BMW sets, give it a try may be you can keep 3d.

I drive an audi A3, and the OP drives a VW which most likely uses the same BT system. I just finished pulling the audio.conf from the phone and will edit it like you said. *fingers crossed* will update tomorrow...
UPDATE: The bluetooth fix mentioned by xabierd seems to have fixed my random disconnecting issue. didn't drop the connection once during my 30min commute to work. i normally experience at least 2-3 random disconnects every time i drive to/from work. yay!~!!
I'm glad I helped you, I am the OP too
I LOVE this appA! Probably my most used, and it unfortunatly hangs on the game overview screen, after a short dimming of the screen. Real bummer for me bc everything else is working great for me on Froyo!
...does anyone have this running successfully on FroYo?? Ive tried pushing into system/app thinking protection was maybe an issue but to no success...any help would be greatly appreciated!
There was another thread on here with ppl that had problems with this same app after froyo was installed. It doesnt even show up in the app store for froyo users. I have an off topic question: does androids mlb at bat app show live video feed of games? I kno the iphone app does. Thanks.
no its audio only and i miss this app tempted to go back to cm because i miss my baseball

Only works with 2.1 so far, no 2.2 support thusly the darkened screen.
No wonder... I kept thinking MLB at Bat shut my app
off.
just curious...since the MLB app is just for phone access, has anyone tried connecting with their desktop service with flash? Did it work well? I have a hard time justifying purchasing the android app if i dont get comp access as well, especially since it may be possible to have both.
Have not tried myself...
Anyone maybe have a fix for this since this thread has been started though? Still seems to have same issue.
it works just fine for me running 2.2 manual update
No problems with it either, manual download
I was experiencing the non-responsive dimmed screen as well. I went into the application info screen under Settings >> Applications >> Manage Applications and cleared data, cleared cache, forced stop, reopened...and it worked like with 2.1.
What do you mean manual download... I've been wanting to download this and I can't find it on the marketplace
