Retro arch problem - Android Apps and Games

Hello guys.
I have a big collection of psx games that I did not use for a while, they were mostly collecting dust.
Just a couple of days ago I discovered this wonderful app called retroarch , I just converted all my games in iso files but it looks like retroarch is experiencing problems.
when I boot the iso a message on the bottom says "no bios found expect bugs" after a little while the game freezes or crash. now I have read that the bios must be in the iso's folder in order to work properly.
the problem I am experiencing is that I cannot find the BIOS FOLDER in my android phone (glalaxy note II), can anyone tell me where to find it?
cheers guys!

Mame or NES on Raphael?

I have tried PocketCultMame
http://www.pocketcult.com/home.php
But it is so buggy that it isnt an option for the raphael.
Also tried Pocket Nester for NES.
Nester seems to start the ROMs ok but the key mappings just dont work right.
Anyone got these anything or else to work well?
Curious
I would also like to know if the keyboard works with Pocket Nester. Anyone know?

seems to be a general problem
i have tried all the emulators with virtually no luck at all. Seems none of the keys every work for me
same problem here, it seems that HTC used a different technology to number the keys.
maybe because the touch pro has more buttons than most other devices.
Had same problem with games that use mapping (like worms for ppc, doom 1 & 2, etc), as well as with the DOS emulator.
It's a key mapping problem... when is someone going to create a program to use the capacitive part of the TP as buttons (so we can play and emulate stuff?) :^P
For the moment im playing with the device upsidedown, im using the Up, down, left, right as the D-Pad and strg + shift as A and B button.. not a very practical but it works.. i hope there will be a better solution for this problem..

I use FPSEce 0.9.6 beta and it works with red alert retaliation. The intro video is laggy but once you skip that and get into the game menu, its smooth.
You just rip your psx games to .iso format and copy to the SD card.

i did all the above Downloaded a bios file etc etc but somehow i was unable to find the iso file wich was locate don my memory card.
And when i found no program it went automaticly to the "memory card / disc" Menu all playstations have .. all fine but i was unable to get OUT this menu and had to reset the device in order to get it back up ...
Any thoughts? maybe doing something wrong

Any Updates?
Has there been any progress on this? I really want the Sprint Touch Pro! But if I can't map the keyboard for use with emulators, that would be a deal breaker.
Have you tried FinalBurn?
You can get it from:
http://www.modaco.com/content/smartphone-software-games/247894/finalburn-for-wince-0-014/
FinalBurn emulates CPS1, CPS2 and CPS3 games (including Street Fighter Alpha 3).
However there are several problems:
1. Low FPS during match (other games like XMENVSSTREETFIGHTER are better)
2. Jerky UNPLAYABLE performance with Sound ON.
3. Keyboard can't be mapped
4. Controls mapping issue
The degree to which FPS is impacted is dependant on the game.
This is my experience with the HTC Touch Pro.
I think we need a more optimised FinalBurn version.
Another problem is that the processor has to process 4 times more info for the VGA screen so it will probably work better in QVGA devices.
Unfortunately I've not found a way to adjust in game resolution.
This MAME emulator certainly has potential! Try it!
Here is a great solution for the keyboards issues:

bump- anyone how to fix the upside down screen in nesterj4u?

PocketGBA on Touch Pro

i download PocketGBA.cab and copy it to my storage memory..
when I try to install it, it says installation of pocketgba_rel060723.cab was unsuccessful...
i dont undestand why, when in a htc touch of a friend its run flawless..!!
anyone help please??
Go to the webpage for PocketGBA, I installed it following their instructions and it worked just fine. You need to get the CAB that comes with FMOD.
which page is it?? can u send it please.. thx
I think he is referring to the file called "Direct Installation" on this page:
http://sunbug.net/products/view/141
It's not a CAB file, but it's a zip file with the FMOD dll included. It works on my TP, but I can't really control anything because the directional pad on the TP doesn't work for crap, and I can't play vertically with the keyboard either because the screen rotates in the wrong direction.
Is anyone able to actually play PocketGBA on their TP? If so how?
bump i have the same issue. does anyone have a well working gba emulator?
Bump
Also looking for a rock solid GBA emulator.
man this really blows some of my fav games cant be played on gba emulator just because of the full screen orientation. Many others also fail like 10 min into the game when i open shop or enter a battle sequence. the only one i have found that works decently is golden something 2 but i runs slow I wish someone with the know how could just update pocket gba
i have no issues with pocketgba..ive been playing through final fantasy VI advance and it runs alot better than my tilt did (even tho pocketgba STOPPED working after wm6.1 came out and it just would crash when a game was loaded) and i havent had ANY crashes on my fuze...
pocketGBA works for some games, but some other games get only 5fps even with sound off.
Super Mario world and Pokemon FireRed are two such examples.
Im not sure if this topic is even alive, but to all of you who tried the cab and it failed...Download this its a standalone version of it http://www.1800pocketpc.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/03/pocketgba.zip
Its alive, thanks for the contribution. now people without a pc hookup can play too.
well are there any gba emulators that handles in playing in landscape mode?.. well as for configuration of the hardware keys we could use an app called KforRaphael.. it doesnt keymap but it's a workaround.. well predefined keymap... well do anyone know of any landscape mode gba emulators or is that something we have to wait for?
from what i've seen all the emu projects except for ps1 are dead... it makes me sad
Please help, I cannot get any game emulators to work on my FUZE.
Actually, I play using the d-pad... but if you really wanna another emulator, try morphgear. I hear it has on screen buttons...

RealDice games:mobile server off?

Greetings people
Please forgive me if I posted in the wrong category
Now after a year or so I decided to start playing games from RealDice again. Problem is, when I tried to play some of the games on my device, no matter if I used WiFi, AS or Data connection, the app gave me a "failed to connect to server" error.
PC version of games on the other hand work perfect... so I'm not exactly sure what could be the problem. Anyone else experience this or has possibly found a solution?

[Q] psx4droid problem

I recently purcheched the PSX4Droid app from the marketplace for my new Droid X running android 2.2. I've been trying to get ANY game to run correctly on it, even games that I've seen work great on a Droid X on youtube. So far I've tried Yu-Gi-Oh Forbidden Memories, Spyro, and Megaman X6. None of them work, it will boot up like a normal PSX game, and I can go so far as when it first starts rendering 3D, then the app freezes but sound still plays. I've restarted my phone 3 times, made sure I have the correct BIOS file, and have tried every file type this app supports, and it still dosn't work. Futher more, I know that my rips work because I've tried them on my PC with an emulator and it works fine.
I'd like to know to fix this problem and if anyone else is having it...
Thanks,
13bgarli
I have this same problem. I really want to play parasite eve, or FFVII, but they only play so far and then the app force closes. Id like to know what im not doing right.
