This could be for a number of reasons but the main one for me is to avoid using special characters in the game title, description, etc. Doing so will cause this error when it comes to compiling (after the 20mins it takes for it to convert the game).

Thanks - I have looked at these threads but still cannot work out what the problem is, ive tried everything!
Hi, i think i know the problem, i had the same issue a couple of months ago, the download you used doesnt let you launch the appliction because its missing fies, i don't understand why.
i don't know where i found it, but i will look and the files you just put in the psxperia folder and it worked.
'.psxperia.247' folder is missing
i will upload it now the full psxperia 2.0 and it should work.
http://www.mediafire.com/?w6cqau7bhgicx8o
The PsxPeria is built in 3 sites. At fitst go to the second one and open the needed psxperia folder(if i remember right its something with crash bandicoot...), and only after that do the rest on the last third site.
thanks all, seems to be working now, its doing something anyway! not sure why my download had some files missing, odd!
Same i never understood that either, glad its working.

20mins to convert a game? How come it takes so long? Mine takes about 30 seconds at most! Converted a small game the other day (might have been motoracer or something) and it took about 10 seconds!

I just saw the news of a release of a very popular game, Disgaea for Android (Free!).
However, it is limited to Japanese GMO customers only, and cannot be found in the Market.
The GMO link is here: http://gmo-game.com/app/351/
News article here: http://www.4gamer.net/games/133/G013303/20110516005/
The full game is free to download and play, and I believe many people have heard of/played the game before and got addicted for hundreds of hours and wouldn't mind playing it again! Also in this version, you get to use Prinny as the main character!
Would be great if someone can get the .apk for us to experiment whether it works and whether it needs hacking for it to work. Anyone?
Thanks in advance!
P.S. Sorry that I can't be of much help, I just thought with more brains and resources it might be easier to get the game to reach a wider audience. I am willing to translate all the strings to English when it's available, and even do graphic editing if the translation requires it.
Edit: Wonderful guide to getting the game by jtkg and getting it to play by Rahkaral!

You can't download it from the market (the google official one) in Japan too.
You have to get the GMO market app (ttp://ap.gmo-game.com/apk/G-GEE.apk) and install it from there.
And also it's not an apk.
When you download the game, the data is copied to
"/mnt/sdcard/RuntimeApps/351" and you need to launch the game via the GMO market app.

I too would love to have this.
Gonna give you my thanks, man. I was a major fan of the Disgaea series (I even played Soul Nomad!) and this is big news for me. If ever there is a port of this game, my first request is to have an international, english-dubbed version of it.
They better port that in english.

As you can see by my avatar picture, I'm a big fan of Soul Nomad. You're automatically awesome for liking/playing it.
Anyway, I installed GMO, but apparently the Milestone is unsupported - I get an error saying <moonrunes> Milestone </moonrunes>, and then the install button reads "Uninstallable".
I might see if the Magic will download it (maybe it's a processor thing?). EDIT: GMO crashes when opening on the Magic, so it looks like I'm out of options, unless I can borrow my boss' Wildfire. Damn it all.
Seems as though you need a compatible device, not 100% sure but after registering on the site and downloading the game center and trying to install via the QR code I get an error message in Japanese referencing my phone model, I'm using the g2x
yeah, attempted to install but it says uninstallable, it looked at my model or os saying its a gt-i9100
Im running a samsung captivate using Continuum v5.4.1

I tried GMO on my Desire but it crashed when opening, too.
Actually you can find some GMO games in the Market (by faking a Japanese provider), but you still need a GMO account to play any of them. Judging from their terms of service, it seems that they don't accept users from outside Japan. (I didn't try registering, though.)
Sorry for my poor English.

This allows the game to install correct?
You need the GMO Game Center, (In order to download the game, just to be clear this is NOT on the android market as an APK)
Do the build-prop,
Allows Download,
Install,
Play.
I just finished the first couple of tutorial maps. (Which are handy if you don't know a lick of Japanese too, as they highlight the appropriate button for the tutorial, (teaches move, attack, throw, etc)
Mine just gives the same error, except now it says SO-O1B instead of Milestone.

I don't have crash bandicoot pre-installed on my sd card no more. I'd like to try out using the Native psx emulator developed by yifanlu, but when i run my crash bandicoot, it seems to get stuck on "Updating" and never changes.
I've tried the US version as well, same result. Left it on for over 2 hours and still showing Updating page and nothing moves...
Anyone have any idea what i can do?

Maybe you will have more luck, if you push it back to /system/app where it came from rather than just installing
Thanks for the tip, but I didn't realize that within system/app I already have the same file that you uploaded. So I installed it from that location, but when I try to open it. All it keeps saying is updating... And I don't think it changes? Is it meant to change page to say maybe downloading or something? Is it meant to take ages to download?
This is getting quite annoying =.=
Anymore tips? Or should I just keep leaving it on the updating page?

To be honest for me, when i launch crash, that updating box stays on maybe 1 second then goes

Any luck on the stuck at updating ? Im having same problem and it will never stop updating!!! Just sits at updating screen for hours
Problem Solved
I went back through and started replacing .apk's i had deleted. I even tried installing crash different ways, put it back into system an still no good, installed to sd card didnt work, installed to system normally didnt work. So when the Syphon Filter didnt work for me either, and I had all the sd files for syphon filter already, but even that said updating. It wasnt crash. There is an app called "preinstalledservice.apk" and idk why but none of the sony playstation game apps would work without it. Just put that .apk back into system apps and change permissions on it. Everything works great now, oddly enough the preinstalledservice.apk also has a weird looking icon... I attached it below, almost like its smiling with razor like teeth just because it knew I was gonna need it back in system lol....

Interesting...... On another forum someone mentioned how Sony said a long time ago the emulator will work on Tegra 2 (which it does, as in the Sony S1 tablet). However you would think ok then why wouldn't it work on any Tegra 2 phone, well the Playstation Certification of course. But what could that entail? Simply a build.prop modification? Based on this maybe not, maybe this .apk is specific to hardware to make sure that its running on PS Certified devices only.
Just my theory....

I would have to agree with you because without that apk I couldnt run anything. And when Syphon Filter 1 or 3 opened and froze at updating , I knew it had to be something missing on my phone because the Syphon Filters weren't released for xperia play on verizon, So they didnt need to update anything because I already had the files needed and they were modified to work on any xperia play model/carrier.

Hi guys and girls,
after looking quite hard at the forums, iv found a few topics that are "close but no cigar", so im starting a new thread to try and get the ball rolling and hopefully soon, make an app that will be available on all android devices.
the topic says it all.
I started a website 4 years ago that enables direct streaming of .avi files to your pc and now im trying make the process on your phone as seamless as it is on your pc!
at the moment, the current way of doing this is
1) get the file link from megaupload.com
2) go to your .avi media player
3) input the link
4) watch.
so basicly im trying to get it so an app will skip steps 2 and 3.
because the way you get the link from the site i run at them moment is allready a 4 step process, cutting it from a 4 to 6 step one on the mobile phone side would be a brilliant step in the right direction!
a couple of threads allready on xda/apps on the market that are along the right lines are:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=11621885 - But the app has been removed from the market and the dev's have stopped working on it.
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.stonyx.megastream - this app has recieved many negative comments and after trying it, it does what im trying to do but in a very long winded and drawn out way.
(edit) the irony is, the app thats been made now which is fantastic btw, has been made by the same guy!(/edit)
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.stonyx.icestream this is the app btw
Not trying to advertise but if you search Icefilms on xda theres a lot of people who use the site and want to use it on their phones, so im here now trying to do it and hopefully get some help because honestly im a total n00b to the app dev side of mobile phones!
there is allready a greasemoney/userscript app for android, but the Greasmoneky script the site uses encorperates DivX web player, which is not available for android. So you can install the userscript but theres no bridg between the link and the video player!
so, there in lies the problem and my mission!
any ideas or anyone willing to give me some of their time to get this project rolling?
thanks in advance,
Morgan
icefilms.info admin
anyone home?
guess i'll go to bed and come back tomorrow and see!
good night all
and thanks again in advance!
As a daily icefilms user, and soon to be a android tablet owner (TF201). I hearby *BUMP* this thread!
well, like i said, we have near on 3 and a half million hits a day, but dont have our own app.... that kinda sucks tbf.
hopefully we can get some interest!
still nothing?
I read somewhere that there is a XBMC for android in development, but who knows how long it'll take
well, to be honest, thats a fantastic idea!
if you find any more info on it, please let me know!

Hello people.
I have a friend's HTC Inspire 4G, he wanted me to install Shadowgun, which I did. I downloaded the 1.1.0 APK version. When I executed it, it began to download the required data and when it finish I began to play. Everything worked perfect, but when I reset the phone, the game ask me for download the data again... and when I check the
Code:
Android/data/
folder on SD-Card, I can see the Shadowgun data in a
Code:
com.madfinger.shadowgun
I can't remember the exact name. The thing is that folder have 1GB of data... meaning the Shadowgun data is really there. So I have no idea why the game ask me for download again.
Is this a common issue? How do I fix it?
Best regards.
maybe go to the market and redownload a fresh copy, possibly corrupted download?

it can still have a file corruption, wasnt trying to be mean to you. just saying its probably the easiest thing to try first before delving deeper into it. i did search around and went through market comments looking for a similar problem and couldnt find any. so that brought me to the conclusion that theres possibly something wrong with the apk. one flipped bit in a file can show at install or it could keep u from viewing the ending of a game.
at first i thought maybe you got the THD version of it but seeing as that one was 1.0.1 and you mentioned you had 1.1.0 that wasnt the case. Got to start somewhere with troubleshooting
Question...where did you download shadowgun from? If you did from the market then try emailing the devs. The contact info will be on the market page for shadowgun.
If you downloaded it from another place, and did it for free, please stop asking for help. That is a paid app. You should not be able to receive help here on xda for paid apps that were pirated.

<Mod Edit> Deleted contents. Condoning Warez, violation of XDA Rules.
If you are having the same issue then why do you need the files? Just download them and back them up yourself.
<Mod Edit. Deleted.>
Take Notice on Warez
I believe this same (edited) post asking for data files, was deleted from the General forum earlier.
And the same outcome. It is strictly against XDA rules, to ask for or condone the practice of sharing PAID Apps. Violations result in infraction points, and ultimately a ban from XDA.
Whether you paid for the app, is not a concern. In this case, your first avenue is the Dev of the program. NOT asking members to upload data files. You KNOW the rules, paid app or not.
I should hope I won't need to post again on this topic.
yeah .. i have same problem..

hi, its my first time here in the forum and i have read your problem with shadowgun.. i have also htc inspire phone installed with shadow gun.. i got this in android.mob.org at first, i downloaded this game in the torrent but i came up with the same problem with you. so here what you are going to do
1. download shadowgun to the mentioned site(put the cache file of the game into any folder of ur device but do not put it directly to sdcard/android/data/ bcoz at first launch it will be deleted)
2. then install apk
3. set your phone to airplane mode
4. then run the game
5. then press begin download (it will show some unknown javascript and let it
6. minimize the game.. do not close
7. copy the the files inside the com.madfingergames.shadowgun folder into the sdcard/android/data there is already a folder there with the same name with that folder.
8. open the minimized game shadowgun and it will now run smoothly
i hope it helped...
E-Fun's latest Android tablet is now on the shelf at BigLots. It's a $99 budget device running 4.0 ICS.
I tried to install Android Market (the easy way) and the app crashes. I take that means this tablet will require a little more work. Has anyone hacked it yet?
I am also interested in knowing how to get Gapps to work on this as well...just purchased mine on the 27th at Big Lots too for the $89.99 special, been trying all apk's with no luck..keeps on crashing when clicking it.
When I sent a note to E Fun asking if there were any plans to update and add Google support, the response was:
This is not an issue we can change. Like the majority of tablets on the market Google will not grant a licenses to use their app market. The tablets are designed to work with third party Android apps sites where you can still download Android apps, the only difference is it's from a different website.
Of course I sent them a list of bunches of budget tablets that come with access...
I don't have the technical savvy to create the necessary mods -- but if anybody out there is interested, and there's anything I can do to assist, please let me know! With access to the google apps, this would be one sweet little tablet for the price!

I'm pretty sure that was written for Gingerbread, not ICS. The last couple of posts kind of imply that it didn't work on the Next7S.
Your right...besides not finding the USB drives anywhere (as I cannot get the sdk's to work on it) I tried to uploading the files then install and cannot get some of the apks to install, like the GoogleCalendarSyncAdapter.apk, GoogleContactsSyncAdapter.apk & GoogleServicesFramework.apk all others installed fine. With no luck on keeping the market from crashing boo! I am sure someone will be able to come up with something in due time, I hope.
Look at freaktab.com - Finless Bob has cooked a rooted rom with Google app,Super user and /system mounted r/w.
The download includes all neccessary instructions, files and utility - including driver - for Next7s. There is one clarification that I think will help... To get into the download / flash mode you need to hold down on volume rocker so that BOTH (volume up | down)switches are activated.
Thanks SO MUCH Moonpie! This has worked! With no problems and coming from me I always flub up something but the directions were very nicely typed out.
Try this blissb2599, only problem I am having is quiet a bit of apps are not compatible like my banking ... facebook, but I have an apk for facebook, old version but works lol...
Great to here reddtessa! Sorry to hear about apps not working. Maybe there will be some tweaks in future.

It's days like this that I feel somewhat challenged... I'm not seeing the Next7S ROM. Would one of you kind people point me in the right direction? I'm sure it's staring me in the face, but I'm just not seeing it...
EDIT: Yup, it was right in front of my face. Got it, installed it. Loving it!
Glad you found it..took me a min as well to find.

In case anybody else is having a hard time it's here: http://www.freaktab.com/showthread....Cream-Sandwich-Finless-ROM-1-2-Root-and-Gplay
Thanks for the link. I just picked up a 7s for my kid yesterday after the Next5 we got him originally quit working. I DLed the Play store APK and was like OMG-WTH every time it kicked us out. The Next5 came rooted (out of a sealed box) and had no issues with Google Play from a standard APK. If you guys have this working on the Next7s (YF031 serial) then I'll flash it.
One thing I find hysterical is on the box it states it is a Capacitive Screen, but my kid used his generic plastic stylus (intended for an older Nintendo DS) and it worked! I even tried a pencil eraser and it worked too. Does that make this a hybrid Capacitive/Resistive screen then?
****Update, I got clarification in the other thread on the two different versions of the rom. All is well, the tablet is now rooted, and is running Google Play on the Finless Rom. Very happy with how quick it was to do as well. Thanks again for the link!
Please help!
