what do you use to play dos games on your HD2 ?

what do you use to play old ms dos games on your hd 2 ?
there is the n0p dosbox version but it is not in wvga and if you click on the sides, it interacts with manila so...
then there's QEMU, but it seems that in the versions prepared until now, you have to drag the mouse where you want to click......
So what do you use for you hd 2 (or other phones WVGA) ?

Yeah same here. I've got all my old favorite games working now via Morphgear but need this to get Chaos Engine running
Any one?

Ooooh yeah, I love chaos engine, if you cant tell by the nick... Anyhow, have you tried playing soldiers of fortune for the SNES? Very good port of it.
Anyhow, yeah I am trying to get dos working as well. Have had limited success running games but everything has been fairly buggy so far.

Damn, I would love to get some of the old DOS games on the HD2 as well. Haven't played them for ages ...

dos games
hi there i have been looking in to this problem to and for me Elite Frontiers is the holy grail i have tried dosbox but i came across a post on YouTube about running
windows 95 on the HD2. this in theory will run dos games but when trying to run my games I found that installing dos box on windows 95 the games run fine. There is a java chaos engine but then it was controlled with a keypad.
Hope this helps or at least gives you a start
Xtal76

Well its a start..
Thanks buddy!
I already knew i probably could get it running through win 95 but what a load of fafing just to play a couple of games!
Could you provide a link to the Java based Chaos Engine? Would still like to take a look Just cant help it...
Cheers,

Sorry buddy forgot i left you a message here is the like to where i got the java game.
mobgame.info/games
but i found that if you use the morph gear emulator by spicy pixel there are roms for the megadrive or the snes that work great.
spicypixel.com
if you look on xda there are loads of skins for pads to
hope this helps and sorry again for the time it has taken for me to get back as wee scots say "ma heed is up my arse".

FPse FTW! PS1 in the palm of your hand!

I just want to let people know what an awesome app FPse is. If you dont know what it is its a PlayStation 1 emulator. I had tried it out on my previous phone the MyTouch Slide but wasnt very happy with the performance. Using it with my G2x though is like holding a little Playstation in my hand. So far I have beaten Resident Evil Nemesis on it and I'm working on Metal Gear Solid and Road Rash 3D, both of which run beautifully on the G2x. No need for Tegra Zone games on here, I'd rather play full length PS1 games!

Is it comparable to PSXdroid?

i don't know about that last part buddy... i can't WAIT for Galaxy on fire 2 to drop. Played it on my itouch.. sold the itouch.. and i'm missing it bad. very good game with very good graphix. in the meantime the gameloft knock-offs are keeping me fairly entertained. LOL

Where can I get the app and is there **** a bios setup?

Better...just better. Give it a try.

this runs so flawlessly way better than psx4droid
anyone know how to make the l1,r1 and start and select buttons to display in landscape mode?
edit: nevermind I got it

This emulator beats psx4droid hands down.

FPse is much better than psx4droid. The bios os avaliable online just google it. I find emuparadise to be the best rom site around. The only thing with roms on emuparadise is alot of them are .ecm file so u need to unecm them but that software is available on thier site

bios
I need help I couldn't figure out how to use this app I download the Tom's but I can't seem to find the BIOS after extracting can some one give me a link for spyro

It might be better, but for the average user I think the "free" price tag of psxdroid sounds better

The price tag of free Is always good. Its always nice to support our app makers. It keeps them coming back to the android platform.
I tried both and fpse was way more polished. psx4droid only became free when It was pulled from the market.

I paid for psxdroid back when I owned an n1 and only received "updates" that worsened performance each time. Fsck psxdroid, I'm glad the dev got hosed.

The BIOS file is completely separate from ROM files. The same BIOS file is needed for all PS1 ROM files. I'm sure theres a rule against posting links to files like that so just google "scph1001.bin" and you shouldnt have a problem finding it.

also....
you can use your hdmi cable and play it on your hdtv! its like having a portable snes genesis n64 and playstation wherever you go! needless to say its pretty awesome

Download 7zip. Then right click the file and choose extract here. You have to do this on the pc.

[LIST] Emulators Compatibility List

I think that we should list some emulators (and details about them) that we have tested and found to be compatible/incompatible with the sensation, so that we don't waste time downloading and troubleshooting apps that don't work.
Here are a few that I found to be compatible/incompatible
FPSe-Somewhat Compatible (Tested with Ace Combat 3: Electrosphere, which plays well. Armored Core will go to the menu, but will not load into a game)
N64oid-Compatible (Tested with Goldeneye 007 and Ocarina Of Time, both of which ran perfectly)
GameBoid-Compatible (tested with MegaMan and Pokemon Fire red, both of which ran perfectly)
PSX4Droid-Incompatible (when a ROM is selected, it will go to a black screen, but the ROM will not load)

Ataroid, Gameboid, Gearoid, Gensoid, N64oid, Nesoid, Snesoid, FPse, Frodo C64, ScummVM, psx4droid v2 - all compatible and work great.
Only psx4droid v3 doesn't seem to work whereas v2 works. However psx4droid runs significantly worse than FPse (at least for me and with the games I play) so I don't see a reason for using it
ScummVM ist just awesome. Spent the last couple of days playing through Monkey Island 1, 2 and 3

I tried N64oid to play Goldeneye but it would not go pass the intro. sound would skip and just stop playing and dump me back to the rom list.
perhaps I just got a bunk rom since it's working on yours... or maybe something wrong with my copy of N64oid...

Yes Goldeneye is working pretty well, check your ROM here
Nesoid is the only one that refused working for me, Kupfel could you tell me whay version you are using??

what version of N64oid are you guys running?
I'm running v1.1.4 and I just tried GoldenEye rom from 3 different places and all three does the same thing... just freezes at the intro and kicks me back to rom list.
thanks.

Same N64oid version, but Goldeneye has always been working for me, it was already working with N64oid first release. You must have gotten 3 corrupted iso

N64oid - goldeneye works ok, slight lag but more Importantly I find it extremely difficult to play using touch screen controls. The mariokart and Mario world both work perfectly.
Sent from my nokia 3210

as for Goldeneye, don't let it play the very first video, press start to start the game or it may stop working during the video.
I asked the dev (through one of his testers) if it could be possible to have the other landscape available, thus having the volumes buttons at the top of the Sensation, not at the bottom, like a shoulder R1/R2 button. Set it as Z trigger and Goldeneye becomes really playable, as well as every game where you have to shoot
EDIT: stupid from me, the reverse landscape is avaliable for Android 2.3, I haven't checked this option since I stopped playing on my HD2 froyo to the Sensation ^^

What problem do you have with nesoid? I have version 2.5.0 and played through Megaman 1,2,3 and Metroid without any problems whatsoever.
Did any of you guys try aDosBox or AnDOSBox yet? judging by the reviews it's running perfectly on much slower phones than the sensation
and yet any game I tried so far isn't even close to playable. Just really really really slow. 5 FPS or sth.

just tried NESoid v2.5 and it's working fine.
played me some ninja gaiden.
I've been playing the SNES trilogy version... NES version is so much superior.
better control layout, better soundtrack, harder game play, and overall feels snappier.
only bad thing is for some reason on the rom I got the opening scene is not included... guess I'm keeping the SNES version around just for that.
anyway, tried 1942 on it as well. works flawless.
I gave up on the N64oid. installed/uninstalled so many times... not to mention time spent hunting down roms, different versions of the N64oid apk.
only game I want from N64 was Golden Eye but can't even play the intro.
kinda ruins the experience.
so, it's off the list for now. thanks for the help and suggestions though.
anyway, for the person that is having problems with NESoid, try version 2.5 as the poster above me have suggested. it works really well.
p.s. since we are trying to compile a list, I can confirm FPSE works great for PSX(much better then PSX4Droid), and Snes9x EX works great for the Snes and is available free on the market.

so psx4roid isn't working..and i though i had a problem with my device xD
what good playstation emulators can you recommend?

Fpse of course, the best around, updated about every week since the release and highly compatible. And much more is to come!
Thanks for the 2 guys who told me for NESoid working version
N64oid will be updated with a completly new build and core, much more compatible games are to come, more speed too.
And don't waste time looking for N64oid builds since the official version is free on SlideMe (that's where the dev had to place it after all his great emus were deleted from the market by google...)

n64oid issues? i have not had a single problem, playing mario64, mario kart64, zelda OoT, rogue squadron, starfox64, blast corps and goldeneye at full speeds.
N64oid Ver. 1.1 only issue is minor lag during cutscenes, but most are skippable

Every time i try to download fpse, it says that is incompatible with sensation ?!?!?
Is there some special version that you guys are using, or i just need to google harder ?

how about you just frickin' buy it from the market?

Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using XDA App

fpse is still very much in the market and most definitely compatible with sensation:
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.emulator.fpse
all of yongzh's emus (all those *oid emus) can be found here for free:
http://slideme.org/applications?text=yongzh
(he uploaded then there himself after his apps were kicked from the market)

N64oid 2.0 has just been out, it's on sale on SlideMe market now!
I've just bought it, now Zelda Occarina of time is smooth with no frameskip at all (better to set it to 3 to be sure there won't be some short lags sometimes)
Nice!!

Don't smack me please! But any chance we will ever see ps2 emulators for sensation? Is this even possible?
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using XDA App

nah, PS2 isn't possible. That would require a much faster CPU

[Q] Frustrating consolle emulation with the infuse

Hi guys... i'm having lots of problems when trying to play my favourite games from the past using different emulators with the Samsung Infuse 4g all the stuff i'm complaining about has been tried both under the original Infuse rom and with the adapted CM7 mod from LinuxBozo.
I know how the emulation stuff works... Although i've been using android for just one month up to now, i'm not a complete noob.
I already downloaded all of the apks and BIOSes needed for the platforms i'm trying to emulate.
At the moment i've only been able to play with SNESoid and GBCoid. Pretty boring though.
In all the cases mentioned i've been able to run the games using the same BIOSes and ROMs on my PC, although with different Emulators and HW ( just to point out -_-' )
I want to play GBA games but both Mojo GBA and GameBoid GBA emulators crash as i attempt loading any .gba rom i have.
Neither N64oid nor Mupen64 recognize any 7zip, zip or even .z64 rom downloaded from known rom sites (the same suggested in the different tuts i read).
Neodroid loads the roms, recognizes them, shows me the embedded thumbnails but fails to load any damn rom.
I bought the infuse specifically for the wide 5" screen and with the purpose of using it to play games during the 2 hours witch separate my school from my home.
I can accept the fact USB reading features weren't implemented on the Infuse, but not being able to play NeoGeo, GBA and N64 is giving me some buyer's remorse.
My Nokia was able to play GBA...that's not acceptable.
Hope to get some advice.

What versions of the emulators are you using? With Gameboid Lite and N64oid, I have no problems playing GBA games and .zip N64 roms on any ROM (stock/CM7/MIUI/GB/etc.). Do you have this issue on a clean flash (ie. GTG Ultimate Unbrick, don't install anything else, don't restore any data, etc.)?

The phone's rom isn't clean anymore but these problems keep happening since the beginning (These emulators were the first thing I installed right after google applications)
I changed version for the psx4droid and it's now working
I don't know what gameboid version i currently run...it's not shown...not even in the about tab. I just want to play gba but i can't find it on the market...looks the same for lots of other useful stuff like the ROM grabber...
The same for what concerns n64oid...i just couldn't find it and tried different apk found around the internet... tomorrow as the post office opens i'm going to charge my pre-paid card in order to give N64 Arcade a try... it's the only n64 emulator I can find on the market.
Btw... maybe i'll save those 0,99 bucks and avoid the risk of getting stuck in the same situation... may you tell me what n64oid and gameboid lite versions are you runnin?

Umm.. Infuse has a 4.5 inch screen.

N64oid 1.1.3, GameBoid Lite 2.4.7. I've never had an issue with emulators before like you're describing.

Emulation Compatablity Questions

I've heard retroarch is very good with cartridge based games. In terms of playing GBA, SNES and Genesis titles is retroarch the ideal choice (including camelot GBA games, which i've had poor experiences in the past playing on my psp). also is psx emulation close to as good as what is available on the PSP?
I checked the reicast compatability thread and found a few titles weren't listed. They are:
-record of lodoss
-floigan brothers
-fur fighters
-tee off golf 2
has anyone tested these four games. also i saw a large amount of feedback with shenmue. whats the latest on how it handles with the current build. Thanks

I can't speak for all the emulators but for snes I use snes9x, it was also an emulator on the psp. The ps1 emulation is working great, just as good as the psp if not better. all I've played is ff7 and It works perfectly.
