TigerGBA BIOS issue - General Questions and Answers

I've always used TigerGBA/SNES/NES for playing ROMs ever since my first android phone the D2G. So it's been a few years of using it without problems.
Well I just recently had to reset my phone (a crappy LG Revolution, upgrading when the Galaxy S4 comes out) and reinstall everything and now TigerGBA is not working. It finds my roms and everything but when I try to open one of the games it says it can't find the BIOS files and it says to either put the BIOS file into mnt/sdcard/roms/gba manually or to download the ROM Emulators app and it will do it for you.
Well that app doesn't seem to exist but I found an app that install BIOS for any emulator and so I had it install in the proper directory but it's still saying there is no BIOS file when I try to open a game. So I was hoping someone can help me figure out how to get this working cause out of all the Android emulators I've tried, the Tiger ones are the best IMO and plus they are free which makes em even better cause they run even better then the paid ones.
So if someone can help me figure this out it would be greatly greatly appreciated. I've never had an issue with it before. And for all my android development knowledge, I can't seem to figure this out.

Just a FYI for anyone interested, I am taking a crack at porting psfreedom to the epic4g. Not sure who would be interested in trying to use this.

EDIT 11/02/2010
Here is a psfreedom.ko if anyone wants to try it, I had to setup the Epic to load it on startup (via RC script) on DI18 stock, but using Epic Experience 1.2.04 with MixUp DI18 Voodoo I was able to load it after startup.
Good luck.
Fortunately it isn't my first song and dance with linux kernel modules, so at least that is going for the effort.

good luck will be looking forward to this if u get it working
Well, I have it compiling, which is definitely a good sign, just have to fight an insmod problem and making sure I don't lock myself out of my phone in the process. I will let everyone know how the process goes from here.
Will throw a donation your way if you can get this running. Was gonna order the key but I would rather just have my phone compatible.

I am very interested in this! I was about to use my sisters MT3G to try it out, but my lovely roommate updated my PS3 today to 3.42, do you know if they posted a updated fix for PSFreedom yet?
Anyways good luck and can't wait.
i would certainly love this
Good luck with that man. Im no dev but I'd definately help test this. Maybe you can ask for help from the guy who originally ported it to android if you need any. Thanks again for your efforts
hell yea i will donate for sure if you get it working
I would also donate if it could be done by this weekend.

Epic 4G = Samsung Vibrant for T-Mobile ?
the hardware drivers wouldnt be all that different but im sure would still need a revision of sorts. i cant imagine they used different usb chips in the different versions.
just to clarify to everyone when this works (not if ) the very concept of it means you will lose all usb functions aka mass storage (access to your sdcard over usb), adb tethering and anything but charging. if its possible to make it into a script so that whatever file may be needed can make a backup and rename the original and then another script to make it revert then you could flip flop
However according to my knowledge you only have to run the exploit once to get backup manager on your ps3. Therefore couldn't we just run this script load up the exloit then flash back to stock and be done with it. Its not like you have to keep the exploit on your phone to use backup manager...

Shoot221,
Can you PM me? I need some info on the vibrant to build that in parallel.
Bubby323,
Wrong. You need it attached on each startup of the PS3. I will make this as user friendly as possible.

Might not be supported yet is my guess...
Nope not working here either. Shouldn't be too much longer before they fix it.
a lot of these apps don't work properly on 2.3
It does work, what doesnt work is the Gba emulator
Contacted the developer and he said he should be able to fix when he gets his nexus s.

Any update on that? Does it now work for the Nexus S?
Snesoid has worked on mine since I bought it in January. I did pay for the app if it matters. I'm running on stock unrooted 2.3.3.
I played Super Mario RPG start to finish with no issues or lag at all. I can confirm gensoid works also.
Xda app won't let me upload a screenshot. Wrong format.

I have it and play everyday no problem. never crashed on me.
stock unrooted
Hi,
new to android world. I've bought a nexus s yesterday and downloaded snesoid from market.
Dumb question: where do you put the roms? as nexus s doesn't have sd card is not clear to me how i should setup application to work properly.
It is unrooted and i want to keep it as it is for the moment (want to learn more before to do it).
Any help?
thanks in advance.
I think i figure out ... it has a mnt point within sdcard as there is one...

Help rooting Quench/Cliq xt

After setting up SDK Manager and installing motorola 4.9.0 drivers, in device manager, I see that Mot composite adb interface has a warning. I checked the properties and it says it failed to initialize (code 37). Anyone ever come across this? I've uninstalled and reinstalled several times to no avail. Just hoping to root and need a little hand.
Dude, all the Cliq xt info on rooting can be found over at modmymobile.com forums, plus a good custom recovery, and quite a few Roms.... more rom's on simplyandroid forums also....

Sounds like a driver issue. if you install the wrong driver for something thats the same error code you will get. not sure if thats the case but i thought id throw in my 2 cents haha
Thanks to both of you, I apologize for lack of forum etiquette. I'm sure i've got the right drivers though

Iir I had to install the Motorola flashing program, the name of which eludes me at the moment .... to get the phones drivers set IP properly for it to be visible from adb ... if your on windows 7 one or the other of those apps have issues working right without launching it as administrator by holding shift, and right clicking and saying run as administrator then.answering yes to the dialog that pops up

No problemo..... that was a great little phone....I was so disappointed when moto decided not to officially support it after 1.5 after saying the would get it to 2.1 for months...
I left T-Mobile over it, burned almost 400 bucks buying it o. Release day, and got no satisfaction on seeking an upgrade or replacement for less than the same.... sad little company...was with them almost 7 full years and they could do nothing useful for a "valued" customer....
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA App
Thats vile dude. Im On rogers and I guess if im thoroughly unhappy with the phone and say its problematic there is a refurb program for 50 bucks. Sounds Decent and I may go down that venue. Ive been wanting to root for awhile because as a canadian rogers said no to the 2.1. Ive accepted it and am going about the "other options". Mostly for multitouch. I know its a little faux pas to compare roms, but do you have any good suggestions for a rom. Im thinking either barely blurred or adlxmod 2.1.54 consolidation as they appear to be the two that everything works for the most part.
Sent from my MB501 using XDA App
Most all of those roms work well...the only hiccup is the speaker toggle issue.....different ones are worse about it than others...
Basically when you get a call...you might have to switch the speakerphone off and on for the other party to hear you....iir same holds true if you make a call....
FWIW, before I passed it to my brother, I was using the latest official Motorola motoblur release, still based on 1.5, but I had manually gone thru and stripped out a lot of the bloat....mostly stuff I'd never use, including the Amazon mp3 store that ALWAYS runs in the background eating mass resources. I'm actually kinda fond of the happenings widget, and how motoblur integrates all the contacts so well across social networks....the downside is if u move off of a motoblur device, you loose all your motoblur contacts...so if you haven't been keeping your Gmail contacts updated, well.you'll spend a few hours like I did keying them over manually.
Happenings is cool, cause it shows every status posted by every friend on Facebook, so you don't miss anything, and always know where you left off last time you were there.
I enjoyed being that connected, YMMV...
I think overall, the fastest fully functional rom I ran was the vanilla one based on 1.5.... basically makes the device function exactly like a stock mt3g or g1....just with more ram and app storage.

Got it!
Rooted and Flashed a 2.1 rom with motoblur features still in it. ADLXmod 2.1.54-2 Consolidation was the name I think. It's sweet. Thanks again for the back and forth and help. I agree the XT is a deadly little beast, underrated and now unleashed.
Yeah, very solidly built, 256mb ram....why it never took off is beyond me.
Gratz on the new Tom. That sounds awesome.
How're the issues with making voice calls. Does it work right now?
Might need to try that rom on the one I gave my brother.
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA Premium App
voice calls are no problem, there was a speakerfix by a dude named @firesnatch included in the rom itself. you can hear it automatically turn the speaker on then back off. I often use the 3.5mm jack into my car stereo so voice calls on that have been 100% normal/flawless. I highly suggest it as it's got some sweet stuff built in like wi-fi tether, titanium backup, and clockwork's Rom Manager. Loving the launcherPro as well, because adlxmod also uses the motoblur HOME ui (dialer on left/apps in middle/contacts on right) but with the launcherpro UI I've got 5 shortcuts instead of those three, and at that - those shortcuts are customizable.
Sweet! Ill have to set that up for my bro. How well does Tom Manager play with jr0dd's recovery

Problem installing apps larger than 30 mb

So if you have tried to install Wind up Knight you already know it won't install on your GS4G, I asked the developer why and he replied:
"Hi Jorge,
Do you have an HTC Desire or a Samsung Galaxy S? If so, your phone is broken and you should complain to your carrier about selling you a defective product. Those devices are unable to download any application that is larger than about 30 mb. There's nothing we can do about it from this end--it's a problem created by Samsung and HTC.
Good luck,
Chris"
So my question here is, does any one have a fix?
I believe you go to manage applications market and clear the cache and data

Ha.. Defective... psh. So what are you supposed to do, return it for the same "Defective Phone"?
Big question, are you using Data or Wifi to download?
Have you tried the app download all files? I think I read somewhere that it would allow you to download larger apps.
Sent from my SGH-T959V using xda premium
I have tried both data and wifi, so there's no way to bypass this? I have never seen an app in the market that takes more than 15 MB but this one is almost 50 MB.
Download app to computer copy to sdcard and install using something like root explorer

EDIT: Oh well, I thought you could download the app to your computer fromt the android market... guess not.
Anyone have any other ideas?
I am having the same exact problem. I am trying to download a 31 mb file. It will not download. 20 mb files are fine. WTH?
I have tried all the app cache and data refreshes mentioned.
This is lame.
But, the suggestion to download to PC and load onto sd card is a great suggestion. Thanks for that. I hadn't thought of that.

Still havent tried it, I will soon though .
Yeah installing the apk from sd card works.
Sent from my SGH-T959V using XDA App
I think raver posted a fix for this for froyo.
Those big files are usually games and if you search you can often find the apk available for download somewhere other than the market. I did that with this sword fighting game but the game turned out not to be worth much.
It could be the new market...
I had this issue a while back on my vibrant and now again with Wind Up knight on my GS4G
I believe its the new market causing the issue.
When I uninstalled the updates of Market 3.1.5 and rolled back to 2.12 on my GS4G, Wind up knights Downloaded and installed no problem. My GS4G is rooted with Stock ROM.
My Vibrant is on Cyanogen Mod 7 with Market 3.1.5, unfortunately version 2.12 is not on the ROM so I can not roll back and install this Game.
I don't think its entirely a device issue. There must be something about the hardware that the Market Software just doesn't agree with.
Any other ideas?
I saw that on SGS I9000, custom ROMs fixed it by changing the download temp file size. Maybe we van do the same on SGS 4G...
Sent from my SGH-T959V using XDA App
I have the same problem using the Android Market, but if it's a problem with the phone, why can I DL Peggle which is 74.1MB using the Amazon Market app? I've had no problems at all DL'ing huge files using Amazons Android Market. It wasn't until I heard about a game that was only on the Android Market that I ran it this problem.
I've also read that to fix this all you have to do is roll back to an older version of the Market. The updates have messed it up somehow.
the problem is not the device...
the issue comes with the market sets a cache limit ...
eg cache limit is x size apk is y size if below x limit download if beyond x limit deny
the reason the trick i posted in froyo worked before the new market is it deleted out the temp file folders and recreated tehm without the restriction imposed...
now its handled by the apk itself..
also note working on removing it from the market ;P cause honestly its annoying as hell!!!
Definitely the Market
Its definitely an issue with the new Market 3.x
And it is cache related, but should not be something that we have to worry about fixing.
I found the issue on Google code on the Open Handset Alliance Project. The bug is open, and it would be great for everyone that has this issue to click the star so that the issue can become more important and hopefully be fixed for the next update to Market.

The issue was even opened from a rep inside Samsung.
Thanks all!

Has anyone gotten the iFruit app to work?

So I've been playing some GTA lately and decided I wanted to customize my number plates. However, I can't get the iFruit app to work, whatever I try. It always says 'Downloading data failed'. I've copied the obb to /sdcard/Android/obb/com.rockstargames.ifruit/ but no dice. Anyone got it to work on the senny? I'm running ViperS5.1.0 if it matters.
bumpty bump.
I've also ran into this problem. I've also tried changing my device model in the build.prop to no success. Would be cool to get a working .apk
