Hey fellas,
I'm a huge fan of the old school LucasArts games like DoTT, Full Throttle, Indiana Jones and games like the Leisure Suit Larry series. I was extremely excited when I read about SCUMMVM for Android. That excitement died when I then read that it currently work only on 1.5/1.6.
Anyone know if any progress has been made with the 2.1/2.2 versions? Can I help in any way?
Thanks! Let's get this ball rolling.
Turns out there IS progress!
http://anddev.at.ua/news/2010-6-2-1-0-1
Testing it out now.
Very interested in this - never really got it set up when I had a G1.
Thanks for reminding me My biggest loss moving to android was no scummvm..
Imagine running it on the nexus, using the trackball for mouse movement
There was some movement around 2.1 with a buggered beta of some sort as far as i remember, but we all need some froyo support now!
Is there still only one dude working on the port?
-e
****edit
@rickytenzer: let us know how it works out
****Edit2
I tried the tremor version for no camera (since n1 doesn't have a dedicated cam button)
It takes 25mb worth of space..wow, apk boots fine on froyo, trackball support for mouse with left click. Unfortunately I'm at work and my roms are at home, so i haven't tried a game yet.. very exiting, anybody else tried yet?
Jesus ****ing christ, it's amazing! I was able to boot up DoTT with ease. Didn't get a chance to play with it yet (@ work ) but it seemed to be working well. The back button even acted as escape and skipped the movies! Awesome.
The touchscreen/trackball combo is great because sometimes the trackball moves too slowly so you can generally locate yourself with the touchscreen and then hone in with the ball.
I'll give more updates later!

I tried vorbis no camera. Any reason why you went with tremor?
Most ROMs you can get online legally and for free as they're abandonware. I just downloaded DoTT with no problems! And they're only around 10MB
Omgomgomg, didn't have patience too wait, so i downloaded freeware from scummvm site.. went for bass floppy version and it is beautiful
Sound, menu, everything
Will try my dott CD version and samnmax later..
Just went for tremor version because the dev couldn't get it to work on his Samsung, so i assumed tremor might be better/ tougher on the hardware and n1 has nice hardware
Dunno the difference, has to look into it. Does savegames work? Haven't had time to try (@work)
-e
Haven't tried yet. App settings don't save yet. I realized that the DoTT available online is sans speech so I'm going to get the full versions later, through obviously completely legal means of course
So excited! Have a 5 hour train ride coming in a couple of weeks. This will definite keep me occupied!
As promised, I got my hands on a buttload of games
Day of the Tentacle
Full Throttle
Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade
Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis
The Secret of Monkey Island
Monkey Island 2: LeChuck's Revenge
The Curse of Monkey Island eek: I can't believe this is a ScummVM game!)
Sam & Max Hit the Road
Simon the Sorcerer
Simon the Sorcerer 2
And as expected, they ALL run flawlessly! I'm so psyched. HOURS of gameplay. And I have never played the first Indy and I'm not sure about the second Simon.
WOO!
The emulator runs fine on my Nexus One, but when I try to load a game, its can't find the zip in the directory.

Because it's not looking for a zip
Extract the zips to a directory, then choose that directory when adding a game.
Sooo, is this easy to set up? Might just have to put it on my phone tonight.
Ricky - please would you share the place you got your games from?

Check your PMs. As for installation, it's a joke! Just download the apk, get the files on your SD card and you'll figure it out from there.
I think it's best to put them all in a folder on your SD card root called "ScummVM". I don't recall settings being saved until I had everything in that folder.
Thanks again, that's my evening sorted!
Thanks guys, I figured I had to unzip them. Works great!
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.

All,
Please find the attached Windows RT native binaries for Snes9x 1.53. Snes9x is a SNES emulator.
http://snes9x.ipherswipsite.com/
I've had to disable a few features, such as OpenGL support and AVI recording. Direct 3D support is still there and I've included the D3D9 runtime in the package. Please don't ask me for ROMs - google is your friend. I've tried a couple roms, seems to be working just fine, but there could be issues lurking as there were lots of compilation warnings.
Also, I don't have an Xbox controller handy so I'm not sure how well that will work.
Cheers!
EDIT: before anyone slams me for the port.. yes I'm aware of "Snes8x" in the app store

It's funny, because when you first posted this port I had that thought, but I downloaded it anyway. I have since discovered I cannot freaking play Super Mario with the store version's touch controller... it's just to imprecise (and no feedback) for me to actually have fun playing Mario (i.e. not dying constantly), and unless I'm just missing something, it doesn't seem to support keyboard input. So your port of Snes9x to the rescue! Thank you! I am curious what your motivation was to port it...

open charms bar, settings, there's something in there to enable and disable hardware or touch controls etc.
I guess some people prefer desktop apps to modern UI, that and its always a nice exercise.

*facepalm* there are many threads and posts saying how there is no jailbreak for 8.1, this requires the jailbreak, therefore you cant use it. Snes8x is on the windows store though.

Sorry, it doesn't say anywhere that it requires jailbreak, so I didn't think about it.
I'll start assuming it requires jailbreak if it's not in the Store. Safe enough assumption?

yes. the idea of the jailbreak is that windows RT will only run apps if they have a digital signature from microsoft, which is not something they are issuing for desktop apps so our apps ports do not have a signature and will not run on windows RT. The jailbreak removed that restriction so it will run desktop apps developed by us (internet explorer, microsoft office and the other apps already on the device being microsoft apps are signed so will run on non jailbroken systems). Only microsoft can sign the apps.
There are a few exceptions, bat scripts can run on RT without a jailbreak, I think powershell scripts are fine too. You can coerce it into playing .swf files too (in metro too actually). Anything else, jailbreak required.
Sadly the exploit the jailbreak used was patched by microsoft in 8.1, why? we don't know. It serves no purpose to lock the desktop in this way and they went right out of their way to change the signature enforcement seemingly just to prevent the jailbreak. I think a few people have hinted at ways to jailbreak 8.1, but so far the idea has been to keep your mouth shut if you have an idea and only share via private means so that microsoft can't patch it until its too late (october when 8.1 goes fully public), as a result I have no idea if there is any progress, officially there is not.
Since the whole point of the jailbreak is to enable running non-"app" software, yes, that's a pretty safe assumption (not perfect - sideloaded apps don't need a jailbreak - but anything that tells you to run an EXE will).

This is only kind of true. The kernel exploit itself, the lack of validation on the object pointer on NtUserSetInformationThread subfunction 7, was not fixed. Getting to it was fixed and/or made much harder.

Do you happen to have the sources and project files available? I'd like to build upon yours and try to integrate with XInput as done by snes8x, specifically CBoxController.c/h, ControllerInput.c/h, etc.
How about buld new 1.55 release for WinRT?

Before giving a low vote on the Play Store, notice that some crashes are not related to my application, but to the emulators. Some emus will have such bugs fixed in the upcoming updates. Feedbacks help me fixing issues, one-starred reviews don't.
The first universal emulator frontend for Android is finally here!
Get it on the Play Store! (It is FREE with all features fully working. The "PRO" version just remove ads)
DISCLAIMER: This app is NOT an emulator and DOES NOT include any game.
Gamesome is the first Android emulator frontend available on the Play Store!
With Gamesome you can manage your rom collection and start all your roms with your favorite emulator from a single app!
It's as easy as setting the folder where your roms are stored, Gamesome will AUTOMAGICALLY identify each rom in your collection and display it in a user-friendly way, with boxarts and useful informations about your games (Release date, publisher, and so on).
Since version 2.0 is out you can:
* Search through your collection of roms, divided by console or genre
* Customize your platforms and emulators, in such a way that you can even add unofficially supported ones(*)
* Select among many scrapers to get metadata for your roms
(Version 2.0 is still in beta testing, you install it by following the directions here)
Important:
* This application is NOT an emulator and DOES NOT include any games
* I do not represent and/or endorse emulator developers. If you think that some emulator can be supported, send an email to our support.
All the logos, products, and company names mentioned are trademarks of their respective owners and subject to their own copyright laws, Foreign or Domestic. Gamesome Frontend Emulator is not endorsing either supporting them in any way.

nice work!!!
This looks incredible and is exactly what Android has been missing on the emulation side. It has come a long way since you first posted about it on the RetroArch forums a month or two ago! Keep it up! :good::good:
Thanks for the compliments!
Update 1.02 just uploaded on the store:
Code:
* Roms can be stored in subfolders of the root rom directory
* Changed top bar to comply Android standards
* When the app crashes, users are now able to send a bug report by email
* Fixed UI: Some elements were not updated after selection of new platform
* Fixed a rare bug that made the app crash when selecting ROM folder
* Click on a game to show its details, keep a game clicked to execute it
* Fixed missing support for some .EMU emulators
* Added MD.EMU in Sega Master System emulators
* MSX and Colecovision are now two separated platforms
* Redesigned scan process: app is not locked during rom scan
* Roms alphabetically sorted and indexed
* Added region detection (incomplete, not working for Dreamcast, MAME and PSP)
* Platform Coverflow replaced with gridded list. In next updates expect something better :)
* Hide unwanted platforms
* FPSE working (latest update from store)
* Reicast not working anymore after the latest update
* Identification for MAME could not work. The service used for identification is currently unavailable.
I love your app.
I've been searching for this kind of app for a long time. Thank you :good:
Can you tell me what file extensions does recognize for playstation games?
I have cue and bin files and it does not detect them.
They work fine on RetroArch.
Regards.
Maybebi just didn't see it, but if its not there, add a Playstore link. Trying it out now.

I'm still having trouble when detection PSX games. I have all bin files in PSX folder i created specific for this emulation.
Selected that folder for Playstation rom folder.
But it does nothing, i select Playstation in the menu, it takes to the part where it should check for rom files, but it does not it doesn't even tell me so. And after some minutes the app crashed.
I might add, while it is trying to search for games and if i go to another console list, it does not show any of my collection until the app crashes.
After that all of my collection is listed in the diferent console type except in Playstation, where it continues to trying to search and crashes.
I've sent the error through e-mail the other day.

lg l38c not supported?
the lg-l38c or lg optimus dynamic is apparently "not supported" i have this device sitting around all the time and have nothing to do with it. though it is an old phone, it emulates great and has wiimote support. if anyone could upload the apk for me it would be greatly appreciated!
Hi, i installed the Playstore version but i am only getting a blue screen, no emulators.
I have an Odroid U3 with a stock rooted andorid 4.1.2 version.
Any idea?
Hi Vekto88,
I just want to give you my thanks for this great work, I really love what you're doing. I even bought the "PRO" version. But there is a problem I just want to report, when it comes to scan the roms, sometimes it missunderstood the name and guess one similar, another game. Probably, and this is just an idea, could be use an internal database as No-Intro or Goodsets, scanning by the crc32 hash. Anyway, I love seeing all those covers to play the games, something I always wanted to. So again, a thank you very much for this soft.
new ui
Thanks for your work on this project..it is awesome!
I have purchased pro and have it has worked great until the recent release with the updated UI.
I primarily use this program on my set top box and am having trouble navigating without use of an airmouse. (Before everything could be controlled with a gamepad)
Is it possible to downgrade to a previous version?
Hi!
I tried to sideload the apk on the amazon firetv, but it won't show or do anything but a grey background and the settings icon in the top right. i could also navigate to the settings and change them, but there was no option to scan and no games were shown at all. maybe you can fix this.
Also: does your in app-purchase work on the firetv too? or will i be forced to watch ads?
I completely understand that this is not an officially supported device, just wanted to let you know about this issue(s).
Thanks for the app, it works wonderfully on my phone!

Hi superkoal,
To run properly the app needs that Play Services and Play Store are installed on your device, otherwise it won't show the platform list.
To all the previous posters:
For some reason I never got the notification mail from XDA for this topic even if I was subscribed and I've never checked it. I hope that your problems have been solved through the email/forums support!
Great App!
Any way we can customize (change) the console selection icons (circles)?

Not yet, but it has already been pointed out to me that my icons aren't so good and I'll probably add the possibility to set custom icons, because I always schedule to redesign icons, but graphics is not my forte and I always procrastinate.
PSX Game not recognised
I have a collection of PSX games and one of them is not getting picked up by the scanner "Castlevania Symphony of the night". The format is .bin .cue. I have tried changing the file extension to iso and still nothing. How does the scanner work? is it based on a checksum or the file name? Where is the android log-file situated so that I can try and see what the problem might be.
The probem happened both on a android top box and my Galaxy S3 running Cyanogenmod.
Thank you, this is a fantastic App.

Hello,
The game recognition for PSX games is based on the content of the SYSTEM.CNF file inside the disk image, this file contains the game serial (i.e. SLES-11504) that can be used to identify the game.
Some games like Castlevania and Tekken3 are known to not work properly.
Rest assured that I'll investigate the cause of the problem soon.

While browsing around the net, I've stumbled upon an article, saying that Fishlabs have released their game, Galaxy on Fire 2, optimized for Xperia Play. And how, not only it was XPO, but they've also thrown in Valkyrie expansion pack as a bonus!
This was 2 years ago and it was version 1.0.4.9. I've looked around for this version... but it's gone. Like, everywhere. Google App Store only offers Galaxy on Fire 2 HD, which is ages ahead and targeted at newer devices. I've checked it - it runs on Xplay with custom rom, but the touchscreen controls are catastrophe to play on Xplay. There is no way whatsoever of remapping controls to the gamepad.
As for the XPO version, for some reason, it vanished like a ghost. Literally all the links around the internet are dead. The only thing that's left are standalone APK files here and there, but they're useless, since downloading the game content with this version is not possible anymore - the server will not allow you to connect.
I don't understand - what's the point? It's not even piracy - the game is FREEWARE. Why would anyone go to such effort to delete the only version optimized for this device? Fishlabs got a deal with Sony to help in killing Xperia Play?
Anyways... What do you think? Is there still hope for playing this game on Xplay?
yeah, it's sad the support and old files for our (almost) retired xplay are slowly vanishing from the internet.
I just took a look on my backup and saw i still have the "data" folder, its named "Android\data\net.fishlabs.GalaxyonFire2\files\GOF2\GalaxyonFire2Valkyrie20111114"
something like 240mo is not biggie, if you want i can upload it for you somewhere.

I agree. I fell in love with this phone at first sight, and it really sucks it's losing interest.
I've sent you a private message.
I snagged this way back when it came out for my PLAY. Here is the link, I saved this too my gmail for safe keeping. I also have a backup of the apk and the files needed. As I recently replaced my Nexus 5 with a Nexus 6. I am curious if this link works for you,
