Help! Can't find a working SNES Emulator after hours of searching

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.

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.

Worked for me, but just a little slow, and the controls don't really work without a dpad. What ROM are you running and what error did it give you?

how did you manage to get it working? and running which game? i tried metal slug X , because its a small (64mb) but it crashes immediately when i click the .bin file.

I put my bios in my bios folder, my games in the iso folder, and it worked

Can You share Your bios file and what game are You running?

Running FF7(great game btw) and I would love to share the BIOS files, but that is sadly illegal. Search around the nets, and you will easily find them. Or you can dump the bios from your playstation if you have one. I tried that once, and it went wrong, it isn't an easy procedure

Hi guys. I just see that excelent program. I dint imagine that exist. The problem is that i dont know how to make it work. What i have to download and how i will make it work? i have the htc blackstone, with this rom RUU_Duttys_HD_WM6.5_Leo_Holy_Grail_R0. Can you help me please????

i am having a problem too when i try to run it..it says that i need mmore than 16mb of ram to run it but nothing else is running.
any one any ideas

@ jonathanfoster
Maybe the game that you are trying to open is to large, try a different one. If not, try using a different bios if possible. If that doesn't work, try a different version, or maybe the game is bad
@ nikosfa
Bios goes in bios folder. .iso and .bin games go in games folder. click on the executable from the device, and done.

I couldn't get version 0.9.5 working so I downloaded newest 0.9.6 beta of the emulator. Digimon World 1 and 3 ran almost perfectly... just little fps drop in fights. I also tried Gran Turismo and it was very playable.

i cant use the directional pad because its going to the left even without touching it

hi lads. can someone explane step by step haw to EnableHLE=off and use bios file. thanks

ups sorry wrong section

Just want to say thanks schtruck.
I'm enjoying fpse since the release date.
All the ui option and gfx- game fixes are most appreciateed.
The latest version with screen positioning and pad positioning
is awsome on my desire HD.
Catch ya later.

FPse is the best emulator there is and 2,99 is really no money. Tried like 20 games, all work super well!!

Emulation with Market for 2.1

Hi Guys,
Slightly odd request. I'm planning on making a regular tech vlog/podcast and I definitely want to review android apps. I want the production level of this show to be high so I don't want to be filming my phone.
I've looked into using Android Screencast but the framerate is really low and almost unusable for review/how-to purposes. A recent post by Lifehacker showed how to run a emulated version of Android with market enabled. The latest version is only 1.6 however. I'd like to be able to review any android app so 2.1 is a must.
Does anyone know of a way I can run 2.1 with Market enabled whether this is through the standard SDK or something like virtualbox. SDK files or ROMs would be fine just as long as I can install apps and review them.
I'm running Ubuntu 10.04 and Windows 7 Professional so a solution for either would be great.
Many Thanks
Grinboy

BUMP.
Could someone at least explain why this isn't possible?

Ok last bump and then I'll let this die. Can't believe no one has an answer.

I too would like to know this... I have been searching for a while tonight trying to find the answer (that's how I found this thread), but the only information I can find says to use the system.img file from a nandroid backup, but I haven't been able to make that work... It just boots to the android screen with the blinking cursor

only 1.6 for this time that can using market

Maybe if you grab some 2.1 firmware (nexus one, desire, G1 CM 5.0, etc) and put Vending.apk into your original system.img then, MAYBE, will be the Market application.

Why don't you invest in an HD camera and place it over your phone. Tons of professional sites do that. It gives it a more hands-on feel, IMO

Bit 64 Emulator anyone have it?

There was a Nintendo 64 Emulator released on the market on the 1st of this month called Bit64 but has been since removed from the market and I can't find a download anywhere. It was a FREE application.
So if anyone managed to snatch it before it was removed mind sharing?
Please and thank you

Bit64 headsup
Posting in reply to N64 emulator, reason why it was removed from market cause it contained stolen programming. Problem with these emulators is that someone develops them than everybody steals them and renames them and releases them into the market. For example: the original snes emulator is snes9x ex, if your using or supporting any other app, it is stolen material. Currently looking for original developer of N64 emulator, think it might be N64oid which I found on the internet, currently looking into this.

64 emulator
In reply to my previous post... N64oid is the original emulator. The dev pulled from market in order clean up emulator and fix bugs. Scheduled to be put back on market anytime soon, so keep a look out for it. Heard rumor that google was going to pull N64oid permenatley, but thats not the case since the scripting was borrowed from an open project, permissions are not needed.

I never saw bit64. But like jolly was saying. And at least from articles I have read online N64oid was the first android n64 app that was put on the market. I have the latest version. At least I think it is the latest. Ver. 2.0. The only game that I have found that actually runs well is mario 64. Other games are playable I guess. Most are not worth it though. I would just wait to see if the dev gets it working better.

How to install Flash and Java???

I've heard this is possible for the Note Pro but cannot find an actual working process for either.
Any luck out there for others?

There's a thread here somewhere on using a hacked flash apk with dolphin and jet pack. Works great. As for Java? No idea.

Working java binaries (runtime environment, not a browser plugin...) were distributed with android apktool:
https://code.google.com/p/apktool/
However since kitkat i cant get it to work.The binaries structure is very messy and it would take some time to catch how to launch java vm in an appropriate way, ie. letting it use associated so libs. Didnt have time yet.
They are also seem to be redistribuded with AIDE app. Didnt checked out that yet, too.
Above may let you execute jar applications from command line.
Browser plugin not available atm.

Um what do you want with java on an android tablet?

I have several java-based games I play online that are not working now.

I followed the instructions and it works. However, flash playback seems to be slow. Anybody has an idea why?

Because Adobe do not care about Android Flash users.
KitKat version is working at all thanks to community, not to the developer... Adobe depreciated Flash some time ago (a year or something?). It's not optimized, that's it.
It's not a drama after all, as the whole world seems to be switching to HTML5...
PS: you may want to try turning on GPU acceleration in developer options...
PS2: you may also want to try Puffin Browser from Google Play store, which has newer version of flash included (and really works!), however I cannot guarantee if the performance will be better...
