Hi Guys,
I have searched high and low for the answer to this one, so I thought I'd give up and ask you guys.
What I need is an Emulator for PPC that I can use on my computer to test downloaded programs before I instal them to my XDA.
The problems are:
Active sync appears to only work with visual .net development suit, which I dont have the money to buy.
Embeded visual C does run a nice emulator, but it wont connect to the active sync and thuse I cant install programmes. There did seem to be a solution in useing the folder option in the above programe to access a Virtual SD card on the computer (shared folder on my drive) but how do I access the programmes?
I would prefer to try these programmes out in a sand pit if I could.
But there doesnt seem to be away.
Please dont flame me if I have missed an earlier thread or some google search... I am new.. I am not worthy... I have no flame retardent underware...

I don't have an answer for you, (I also would like to do this also!), but I don't believe you will be able to get the eMbedded Emulator to run 'real' apps because these apps are compiled for a CPU target, (usually ARM) and the emulator only runs 8086 compiles.
The emulator is more to test your own source code and it compiles for 8086, and when you are ready, you compile your source for ARM, MIPS, to distribute.
If anyone knows of a Windows based emulator that runs ARM compiled programs, I would LOVE to know about it.
I seem to remember there was a Palm version where you could simply drag and drop programmes into it and test them. Would be nice if that were so for the PPC.
Still noone said life had to be perfect ;-)

Ya, I came from the Palm world, and they did have an emulator that would allow you to run Palm apps. It wasn’t the great emulation, but it usually was good enough to give you an idea if you even wanted to bother installing it on your ‘real’ device.
Well, maybe there is one for PPC and we just don’t know about it… Anyone???
There is no such an emulator and making it is extremely difficult. You'll have to completely emulate whole CPU, some hardware and write your own OS just for this "virtual" PocketPC. Noone has done this.
So the long and the short of this is I need visual .net to be able to run the MS emu... Any here doing that? If so can you tell me if it is possible to install other programs for testing, or will the emu only work with applications you are writing yourself?

no it's that that difficult at all sure it takes some time to do
if you look around for emulators many many platforms come as emulated on pc systems like ps2 all the way back to mame
i have a few friends who just made a whole emulation of the arm cpu on the pc not a pocketpc or windows ce emulator but just pure arm

Please, can you provide us with a link? I was very interested in such an emulation to test Xanadux stuff without being afraid to render the Himalaya into a brick
Matthias
they are making it because they are embedded software developers
and they are making a project where they are programming to the arm cpu i dont know if they would part with the code but mind you it's no
pocketpc emulator and i doubt it would even support a graphic display apart from text since they dont need it for the project
i'm sure there must be some emulators out there
i mean the stuff in embedded visual c++ and visual studio 2003 and 2005
even if it's not a true emulator then it comes kinda close
embedded visual c++ does have an emulator, but you cant sync it with active sync and therefore you can only test programs that you are developing yourself. There was a posted solution for this involving a null modem cable and two com ports. But my computer only has one com port :-(
Looks like you need to buy Visual Studio .net to get a fully working emulator that can sync with active x and thus test programs....
Hi there,
Somebody correct me if I'm wrong about this, but I don't think even getting the .NET framework working with Microsofts PPC 2003 emulator will work as a true emulator for the actual device.
I have the emulators for PPC and SmartPhones installed since we are developing applications for mobile (but mostly Java based) phones. So far with our initial test developments, you can only run your own developed applications or applications that are currently being developed and compiled for the emulators. Final compiled applications (for ARM/MIPS) are different from the compiled versions for the emulators and won't work with it. Being like this, the compiled version for the ARM processors will not work with the PPC emulator.
Well, that is just my comment...
Cheers,
Hey, I haven't tried it yet, but this sure sounds like what we have wanted...

Hey, I just tired it, (installing an ARM app) and it works. Cool!
How do I download that program. or can somebody upload please.

* Visit http://beta.microsoft.com,
* Login using your Passport account, or create one if you don't have one.
* Use Guest ID MSDEVICE to access the Community Preview website
You'll have to create a passport but that shouldn't be a real problem? I tried to upload it to the FTP using upload:upload but it won't let me send the file?
I have to say that this tool / App is one of the best you can find on the Web. I can now emulate the Pocket PC on my PC to trial games / apps first without messing up my XDA2i.
Thanks for the link guys well done!!

Upload it plz!
can u upload it somewhere? i am unable to download from the MS site!!!

I assume you installed the Microsoft ActiveX component called "Microsoft File Transfer Manager" right?
It's the requestor that appears just before the download begins... Then press "transfer" to begin the transfer ..
I hope it works for you...

It would be helpful if somebody could upload this program, I am having no success after many attempts to download.
Here you go: ftp://ftp.xda-developers.com/DeviceEmulator050419.msi
(better use a 'normal' FTP client to download)
I have a VERY small EXE file, about 200 or 300KB. It runs on Windows, and will not run on my device obviously since it was not compiled for Windows Mobile.
I do not have the ability to recompile it, so is there a way to make a stand-alone windows EXE run on Windows Mobile? Like a compatibility app/emulator I can install on Windows Mobile to allow it to run?
Thanks
1) If it is DOS application, use DOSBOX emulator.
2) You can boot Win 95 in emuator, but it is pretty inconvenient (and not very easy to do). And many of today's apps won't run in Win 95 neither.
3) Get a source code and recompile it
PS: Size doesn't matter
i have one win aplication., but cant install win95 emulator.. something is wrong... program is 150kb., but must be runed from win...
forget about it and i am serious.
or do what CommZ said:

Hey, first time posting to XDA. I am curious about this as well. Allthough my idea is not as small, but as you said size doesnt matter I would love to be able to run rpg maker 2000 games on my mobile device "Axim X51V with lennysh 11 rom on it". I'm not talking about building games, just being able to run the rpg_rt runtime file so i can play games on it. Don't point me to smokingfish's site as I can't imagine it bieng able to play rpgmaker 2000 games as it seems like it was all a project on its own. This idea has me almost interested enough to learn some programming. Do you think it would be possible? Would it be a huge undertaking to someone who knew what they were doing?
Games to play would be.
1. Three the Hard Way
2. Laxius Power series
3. Final Fantasy Endless Nova
Here is a video tutorial I made to help use the PSXPERIA tool that allows you to you any PS1 games you want with the native PS1 emulator which lets you have things such as better screen filtering and use of the analog touch pads!
Video tutorial
Im posting it here as it keeps being lost in all the posts of the development thread. I hope this helps some people.
Important notes:
this does not require root
this tutorial will work for windows mac and linux, you can pretty much just copy what I do on any OS and it will still work.
Great video thanks!
This is really helpful. I hope someone finds a way to get around the 3rd release emulator so we can start testing the capabilities of the games.

I dont think its worth the effort tbh, I think the older version of the emulator didnt have a licence check to get them to work so we just needed to convert a few files thanks the yifanlu's amazing tool!
To crack the licence check will be alot harder to do and apparently FPSE will be getting touch pad support soon anyway, although the dev has been saying that for the last 3 months
the only good thing about sonys emulator is the touch pad support, besides that it has very bad compatibility.
I like the native emulator because you can apk your games unlike FPSE where you have to load everything and play around with the settings.

I find there to be alot less hassle with fpse, I can just copy all my games to the SD card and everything works fine with the default settings most of the time.
hey bubblegumballon,
i keep getting a cannot build apk error even though i put jarsigner in the path variables and inside the psxperia beta folder. Im using windows 7 64 bit and have heard that jarsigner has issues with windows. Any workarounds that you know of?

I dont think xda would let us start a project with the sole aim of circumventing sony's piracy protection, just because we want to do it for legal reasons, dosent mean pirates wont use the technique to start spreading copies of PS games with the protection removed
Do you think the PSX games purchased for PSP via PSN would have a better chance at working with that emulator seeing that Crash Bandicoot is the PSP version?
Please could someone upload a windows environment video.
like bubblegumballon Mac video
i am a newbie and am struggling.
cheers
harlzden
It is exactly the same with windows as it is on mac.
Just get the beta 2 release of PSXPERIA and run the windows psxperia UI bat file and follow the steps from the beta 2 caption that pops up from the start of bubblegums video.
Everything is the same as in the OSX video.

Just copy exactly what I do, its exactly the same on windows expect your desktop looks a bit different. I have an annotation in the video telling you to skip the first step now as it is no longer needed in the newer version of PSXPERIA.
Thanks for this. Will check it out when I have my Play next month.
Since the new version of PSXPERIA is out I wanted to bring some attention to the tutorial again, theres alot of new users to PSXPERIA every since the new 2.0 version so hopefully this video will help assist you in installing it.
Hello to everyone, I just want to know if anyone knows how to make emulators for androids or can teach me how to because I want to try remake the nds (Nintendo ds) for android phones.
I got Xperia Play
Googling shows that there have been made some attempts at that topic. However it seems that they aren't usable (yet?). http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MGPoKyc2n_A
Or google "nds4droid"
Just wanna try.
I am aware of this, and this had made me more determined to try and make an nds emulator, also I know high end android phones meet the requirement to run an nds emulator to a better standard then nds4droid because I don't think they put enough work into it
Why do you think they didn't put enough work into it?
What I am wondering is why it has to be emulated when both (most) android devices and the nds use ARM cpus. If the code would run dircetly on the phone, without emulation, it should be much faster. But my knowledge is too limited on this topic to say that this is even possible. Another thread on this topic: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=11820180#post11820180
what I think
I think there are certain things you cant really modify that's why they cant do it directly and starting from scratch to make an nds emulator on an android will be too much work.
i start learn java .. and planning to move to android
my java so weak until now
i just want to know the way to build my first app about ps1 emulator
so can i use app inventor for that or basic4android
or noway .. i have to use eclipse
Sorry for my English
Step one, install EPSXE. Step 2, load rom.
Sadly, while I don't doubt a better PS1 EMU might be possible, it won't have the years of bug work and trust EPSXE will on PC or Android so it's just not worth it to make a PS1, N64 or any Emulator for systems older than that because top notch EMU's already exist and the rest are just waiting for hardware to catch up before they are viable but there is already a DreamCast, PSP and PS2 emulator that still are being held back by current hardware limitations.
Sadly, there just isn't a need for any emulator and if you have the skill you'd honestly be better off joining one of the teams for an existing emulator to get the experience than trying to start a project like this on your own.
Not trying to shatter your dreams but there just isn't a need for another PS1 emulator that will be riddled with bug's and take you years to get to even half the status of EPSXE.
