I have been reading /watching vids about FPSCE and have just downloaded. I have an iso which i am using to test (rayman)
I understand the concept but when i try to run an iso it quits the app back to sense screen.
I cannot even look at the options for the application.
Am I being a little stupid?
Thank You
Did you place a PSX bios file in the BIOS directory?

It can be picky about the iso sometimes, if its not "pure" enough. Maybe try out a different iso if the first one won't work. Also, like the poster above said, make sure you use an approprite bios file.
I have put a bios file in the bios folder now (thanks for tip) Now the iso loads a and then freezes. Just got to figure out how to set controls up and I will try another iso just in case (any you can recommend that are solid?)
What game are you trying to run?
i was trying to run rayman
gets past the ps logo then hangs

Wonderful!
Add a list of games that you would recommend downloading!
Thanks
Awesome!
Looks like it could use a small frame rate increase, but its still awesome.
Is there an option to hide the on screen controls for people that want to use a mini bluetooth keyboard or something like that?

Agree, looks a little jerky. Maybe newer versions will be optimized to run better on Galaxy S hardware.
I have a feeling its using CPU and very little GFX card. Maybe with the next version we will get some GFX support. I have not tried but I heard you can hide the controls and use a Wii mote with it.

wont be compatible on the Galaxy S phones because the developer said that it currently does not work with BT 3.0 devices

How did you get it to work? I have the .bin and .cue file in a folder but I just get a blank screen. I tried renaming to .img but no luck.
FF Tactics works just fine. It's the only other game I have to test.
I've tried a ton of games, that are eboot files and they all work fine. most of them have no lag, and if they do its minor. but some games like resident evil have a lack of controls due to no r2 and l2 buttons.

where is the bios then? I downloaded it from megaupload to the internal SD so it was in /sdcard/downloads but if you transferred over wire it would be wherever you put it.
Once on disc just click the bios button in the app and nav to it. When I went back into the emulator it asked for rom location and it started playing FF VII.
when i play FF7 my audio lags quite a bit. i cant seem to get it as smooth as all the videos i see on youtube of people playing on their galaxy s phones. i always make sure i kill all the programs running in the background before i play a game too.
What BIOs are you using and Livebackground maybe? I use 1001

sorry, i made a folder under sdcard/psx/bios and i couldn't get to my internal memory with the usb cable attached. a couple hours later i played with the app again and is saw that i could see the root of my memory and set up the psx bios that way. weird how i couldn't get to the bio folder with the usb attached. thanks for responding.

im using 1001 and i dont have a live background. i also make sure that my cpu is clocked at 1 ghz through setcpu. ill see if converting the ROM to a pbp file makes any difference.

well thats because the usb was attached, pull down the notification panel and unmount it so you can see the internal SD card on your phone.
hi is there an android app to mount iso files?
I doubt it and i can't even begin to imagine why you'd want one! Care to elaborate?
I have iso training video files from work and want to watch them on my phone during travels.
Best thing to do would be to use Power ISO to get the vids then transfer them to your phone
I would suggest transcoding to another format as .iso will not play on your phone. Try Handbrake which is a great, free program.
Yea ISO isn't supported as a video format, you'll need another application to convert it to something decodable.

It would be nice to put a downloaded file/film directly on your phone
Or download it from your phone.
.......without having to spend a cupple og hours converting it to an other format.
My computer play iso's directly, why not also my phone?
Around 1/3 of what i download is ISO's........
Dude.
No, your computer does not "play iso" files. It is likely that it mounts them and plays their content, though.
What Android is missing, in your case, is a way to mount these images. It already comes with many players that will be able to play their content.
Well, yes, my computer mounts the iso, then plays the content.........(=my computer plays iso's)
rshemeld point is (and mine) that we would like our phones to do the same........we can always discuss what to call it, in what order stuff is going on, but that's beside the point.
Your computer plays the videofiles contained in these cd/dvd Images, so why don't you just copy those from your pc to your phone? Chances are, you don't even have to transcode them... or, since isos are some kind of zipped files, try any unpacker you can find to open them.

One problem with that method is that the video file is chopped up into smaller pieces, I have tried to download several video players that can play them in the right order automatically..........but they couldn't

Geez... let's name a few others other than the one the originall poster stated...
Using a bootable ISO...
You would be able to boot your computer for oh so many reasons.
1.) Unlocking a locked OS
2.) Running Defrag the way it was meant to be run (w/o the original OS locking files down).
3.) Recovering deleted files/partitions w/o having to pull the drive and use another PC.
Number 4 and prob one of the best reasons...
4.) Try to see an iPhone do that! Just another reason why a Droid no matter what flavor... is still just BETTER!
I would like to use my DroidX with an [email protected] BootDisk ISO (http //www livecd com) so that I don't have to lug around another CD/USB. Plus on some networks USB devices are unauthorized unless they have biometrics. I'd still rather just boot from my phone.

Though your reason is different than mine... I would also like to see this happen.
Esp if the PCs can see a bootable ISO as a bootable CD... and i'm sure I'm not the only one as some google searches will show.

Sure. It is even bundled with Android system.
Code:
mount -o loop -t iso9660 /path/to/file.iso /mnt/somewhere
Does not work? Well, here is the "small" glitch. Unless
Code:
cat /proc/filesystems
returns iso9660 among others, you would better start with recompiling your kernel.
Thx for the info!
Helps narrow down the options.
Time to see of anyone has recompiled

I was wondering if there are any updates to this topic?
I would love to be able to somehow view the contents of several cdroms I have on my tablet running 3.2. These cds/dvds are interlinked files for example to do sample exams, the program can then check the answers. Another example is a dvd with multiple htmls interlinked with each other. I have tried converting all the files to a linkable pdf but about a third of the links still dont work and some files cannot be found or one has to scroll through the whole document. Any suggestions how I could get something like this into a format that would work on the transformer tablet?
Are there by now any apps which could read an iso file made of the cd/dvds?
any of you guys have an update on these thread? i love also to see my training videos running on my android phone.
Why don't you convert the videos into *.avi-files for example before transfering them onto your phone?

I've got tons of DVD-ISO's on my home network (QNAP NAS) and it would be really cool to be able to stream those on my SGS2 but I guess that's a no go. Even my old 166Mhz PC could do it since decoding mpeg2-video doesn't need a lot of CPU power.
I have used DVD Copy Pro to turn DVDs or ISO files into video files. Also have the option to compress them, so not taking up 4gb of space. Can compress significantly and have played just fine on my android phone. I'm sure there are many other programs that will do the same thing.
I have installed PSX4Droid 1.7 , 2.0 , and 3.0 (the new free one) ... and none of them will work... When I use 1.7 and 2.0 and try to load Harvest moon they don't do anything, and when I use 3.0 it loads and then crashes and says "PSX 4 driud gas crashed... please click here to help fix the issue"
I have the scph1001.bin for the BIOS but I just dont know whats wrong, I have only tried it with Harvest Moon which is a eboot (eboot.pbp and keys.bin files) I have not tried any other games as I am in the process of putting them on the tablet now.
Has anyone had these issues or is it specific to this game?
I could never get it to work. I use fpse instead which works great.
I just tried Crash Bandicoot and it is also not working
What version of FPSE are you using? I am trying with FPSE , and when I load the keys.bin file it just says "FPSE has exited, try using bios, press menu, system, load bios file, save and retry"
But I have loaded the bios file ... ?
Can't remember although I've had no problems with several versions. Make sure after you load a BIOS you save that as your default configuration in the system menu. Turn off HLE in the system menu too. Also fpse cannot run eboot files. All of my ROMs are either bin or cdi and they work fine.
Thanks, Does anyone else have any tips??
I'm currently copying over FF7 (actual ROM, not eBOOT) to see if that will work...

One more thing. The G-Tablet's multi-touch can be a little finicky when touching two points on the same plane (same position in respect to the y-axis) so I highly suggest setting the d-pad to the middle left of the screen and keeping the other buttons on the bottom right of the screen.
If you have more than one Gameloft game (which is easy when they are buy one get one at $2.99), you've probably run into the problem of not having enough space on your tiny 8GB internal SD. I personally have been fighting with ~200mbs free for the past few weeks and its been annoying me, so I decided I wanted to "fix" the problem, at least till Gameloft gets together and adds an option of where to download the app data.
My first idea was some sort of syslink or bind mount at boot between the Internal and External SD, but while I was researching this I ran into this "convertor" which modifies the apk file to install the game data to the external SD card.
Create the folder called GL on your external SD and the game data from your main folder (sdcard/gameloft/games) copy to "external SD/Gl"

I am still looking for a better solution that doesnt require EVERY apk to be modified, so if you good w/ scripts or can think of a way similar to my original idea, please let me know.

EDIT: Confirmed working on NOVA 2 and Shadow Guardian. You MUST copy all the game data to /_ExternalSD/GL/ (make sure to remove the "games" folder if it's there, all the data needs to be in the "GL" folder. Also, confirmed it only works on games purchased from Gameloft's website, not the Android market versions.
This is how your GL folder should look on your External SD if you run ls in terminal:
ls /sdcard/_ExternalSD/GL:
GloftN2HP
asphalt6
GloftBPHM
GloftSGHP
nova
May God bless the fruit of your loins with prosperity and well being from now till his return. Bless you!
works great... except with Starfront.
EDIT: looks like starfront works.. just needed wifi to verify the files
Damn, what the hell are the people who buy the Sensation going to do when they only have a measly 1GB for appdata?
having a hard time downloading that file. It isnt working for me. I need this
People w/ the sensation are screwed and r gonna need to create scripts to move stuff SD. I successfully patched all 4 of my Gameloft games and they are working fine. Just make sure you put them in the right folder (see OP). No issues downloading the one-click patcher, but I'll see if I can get another link.
Despite this working well, Id still like to figure out a way to syslink or bind mount the gameloft folders on Internal and external sd.
EDIT: Posted mirror link in OP. Enjoy!
I did this and it worked perfectly (thanks btw!!) but all my saved game data and progress is gone this is for Dungeon Hunter 2 HD
guys - im having a problem with Data but not sure if its different - any time i download the gameloft data via wifi to my 32GB SDCard - the game crashes after the gameloft logo and asks to download the data when you restart (even if the data is already there)

I would double-check that the folders are set up properly. it is case sensitive, so be careful. I layout exactly how the folders should be arranged in the OP. Another thing u can check is have it download SOME of the game data, and go and find it. It may help you track down the issue, (like folders arrange incorrectly). Hope that helps!
i tried to launch the program but it crashes after loading.. this is so frustrating.. i feel like going back to HTC (never had this level of problems)

This has nothing to do w/ the manufacturer of your phone. We are essentially "hacking" these games to trick it into using the external SD. You would have this exact same issue, on say, the newly releases HTC Sensation (if not worse because of the lack of space on the Internal SD). Also, I just want to point out that I doubt this will work on "cracked" apks for Gameloft, so those may cause crashes as well.
Im not very fond of hacking each APK to work, as it will eventually cause issues, and this would best be solved by syslinking or bind mounting the two folders between the internal and external SD card. Unfortunately, I dont have enough background knowledge to write the script from scratch, as it requires some kernel modification, and would have to be unique to each phone.
cm7 by default installs your games to the sdcard, but if you want your games to install on internal storage i have attached a config file that goes in /system/etc make sure to back up old one first, ps i dont know the site i got the infop off of and the re done config file it isnt my work im just letting people know here ill post in a second post since its on my phone and im using a computer

Do you have any strange side effects from using it? Did it require any modification to the files from the other thread to be used on the G2x?
I'm using trinity kernel and it was just a matter of changing fstab so no

Hmm, Ill have to give it a shot?
EDIT: This DOESNT work when using the files from the other thread, as it mentions its specifically for the i9003. Tried it and both SD cards cant be seen. It may need to be modified, as I looked at both files and they are completely different.
Its basically the reverse ill post the fstab file when I get home the 1 for external storage it wont let me attach from my phone so got to wait till I get home

Okay, I used the changed from the Samsung version and modified our vold.fstab to mount the partitions properly. Give the attached vold.fstab file a shot and see if it works. Seems to work for me Please post your feedback.
Backup your original vold.fstab file (its in /system/etc).
ADB push this file to /system/etc after mounting it as R/W (u can do it in terminal but I use the app Remount)
Reboot
Check SD "layout" in Settings
EDIT: Seems you cant mount either SD card as MASS storage after switching files :/. Anyone w/ experience feel like chiming in?
