Worked for me, but just a little slow, and the controls don't really work without a dpad. What ROM are you running and what error did it give you?

how did you manage to get it working? and running which game? i tried metal slug X , because its a small (64mb) but it crashes immediately when i click the .bin file.

I put my bios in my bios folder, my games in the iso folder, and it worked

Can You share Your bios file and what game are You running?

Running FF7(great game btw) and I would love to share the BIOS files, but that is sadly illegal. Search around the nets, and you will easily find them. Or you can dump the bios from your playstation if you have one. I tried that once, and it went wrong, it isn't an easy procedure

Hi guys. I just see that excelent program. I dint imagine that exist. The problem is that i dont know how to make it work. What i have to download and how i will make it work? i have the htc blackstone, with this rom RUU_Duttys_HD_WM6.5_Leo_Holy_Grail_R0. Can you help me please????

i am having a problem too when i try to run it..it says that i need mmore than 16mb of ram to run it but nothing else is running.
any one any ideas

@ jonathanfoster
Maybe the game that you are trying to open is to large, try a different one. If not, try using a different bios if possible. If that doesn't work, try a different version, or maybe the game is bad
@ nikosfa
Bios goes in bios folder. .iso and .bin games go in games folder. click on the executable from the device, and done.

I couldn't get version 0.9.5 working so I downloaded newest 0.9.6 beta of the emulator. Digimon World 1 and 3 ran almost perfectly... just little fps drop in fights. I also tried Gran Turismo and it was very playable.

i cant use the directional pad because its going to the left even without touching it

hi lads. can someone explane step by step haw to EnableHLE=off and use bios file. thanks

ups sorry wrong section

Just want to say thanks schtruck.
I'm enjoying fpse since the release date.
All the ui option and gfx- game fixes are most appreciateed.
The latest version with screen positioning and pad positioning
is awsome on my desire HD.
Catch ya later.

FPse is the best emulator there is and 2,99 is really no money. Tried like 20 games, all work super well!!

[App/Tutorial]GameCIH(Cheating engine for Android)

I decided to introduce this app to those of you that just cant wait to unlock all levels, or get more gold/stars/coins or any collectable from almost any game ...
Please post your phone model and confirm it working so i can add device here... BUT it should work on ANY device.
This app is tested by me, and it is CONFIRMED WORKING. Seems not to work on SOME games, and on ICS it is unstable, and only working in some cases.
Requirements: ROOT and a game that you wish to cheat.
Administrator Edit: Link removed.
Tutorial:
A game is pretty simple to use. but i will do a step by step guide:
1. If you don't know what is root, or dont know how to root, you are on the wrong thread. Come back after exploring xda
2. Download the version that you wish to use, i use older one, the reason i did that is because i didn't need the latest features of GameCIH.(about features read changelogs on gamecih site)
3. Install it, and open, put it on your phone memory, and give it root access.
4. When you open it, assign a key (i use VOLUME DOWN), don't exit it just use home so you can continue(for exit use menu exit).
5. Open a game that you wish to cheat in. I personally tried it on Defenders game..
6. Start playing the level, and pause it after taking a note how much gold/crystals/stars or anything you have.
7. Press Volume down, Input number, and write amount of gold that you have. It will list a lot of numbers and stuff, 1 of them is our gold .
8. Press back, resume game, continue playing, kill some monsters, earn some gold, then pause again and input the new amount of gold that you have. Now it should list a single number beneath.If not repeat this step.
9. Press on that number, modify it to amout that you want, after pressing okay, you will have the gold you typed in...
10. Now you can go spend what you hardly earned with cheating the game.
That would be about it. For any further info, or any instruction pm me, or try to find solution at gamecih forum. Good luck cheaters
Credits for this app go to its maker : Software Magician in Taiwan.
Interesting facts about its name can be found here

Thanks and also many games will not work when updated.
Sorry
Home Run 3D here we go again!

Thank you so much for this app !!
It's really great

It doesn't work for me.

this does not work under ICS
i tried in honeycomb and it worked then but after i update to ICS it doesnt work

Thanks, i've been using this for a while now...
Anyone know any ways to cheat credits into Galaxy on Fire 2?

Anyone tried with spectral souls? :3

very nice like the good old times on the psp =)
but it don´t work on ICS i try it with sentinel3 on my CM7 Nexus one it works but on my Sensation with ICS rom not

doesnt work on ics for me either. i get a message saying i need to delete a data converter program.. says something like that lol

Works fine on my vibrant running ICS.

For the guys experiencing problems, you could post screenshots on cih forums, or send them to me, and i will pass them to developer if you want ... comes same way...
ONE SOLUTION COULD BE:
download the FIRST version, find it ... so the oldest version of cih and try it on ICS, it should work ...
try it out and tell me if it works ... good luck

First of all thanks for app (tried second version).
Tested on galaxy S (v 2.3).
Worked flawlessly of Robodefence. After that tried on House of the dead. After applying hack during middle of game the cheat menu disappeared and no input function could be performed on phone. As in no hard/soft button worked neither did touch. Game did finish on its own and after pressing multiple buttons multiple times got this message to display "No Top Window", though i can see game still running.
Going to take out battery to restart (since as mentioned earlier power button didn't work).

if you are using cyanogen, as a backup you should tick the option 'holding back button kills the app' if such problem happens again... but that's very strange.... you should consider posting on gamecih forums ...

Bro, i've been looking everywhere for an app similar to cheat engine Thanks

Please remove this, it's bad enough the gaming development has blocked many of the features putting all save data on servers you go on and tell everyone this exist, when everyone knows already

And can you please give direct link of change log in opening post?

Anyone getting this working with triple town??? Cant find those values..

[APP][GUIDE] Working PSXPeria Ready to Go! NEED TESTERS

PLEASE READ WHOLE POST BEFORE ASKING QUESTIONS OR COMPLAINING THAT IT DOESNT WORK
Please remember, if this guide helps you in any way, press the thanks button for both myself and Fma965! (Second post)
Even though this guide and it's files have allowed alot of people to get things working, that doesn't mean EVERY GAME will work. Even when Yifan Lu was still working on it, there were still games that would no work no matter what you do.
One thing to try is enabling SOFTWARE RENDERING for the game. This can sometimes fix issues, sometimes not.
Check out https://github.com/yifanlu/PSXperia/wiki/Compatibility for a list of games and what can be done to try and help, or see if the game is even playable. If it's not on there, report it here what you tried, or if it just won't work.
Refer to this thread for instructions to enable software rendering: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1220541

Unbeknownst to poo-tang, files he posted on page 14 of the official PSXPeria thread were what helped get that last little push to get things working!
Fma965 for packaging and testing!
Masters2150 for writing the tutorial and testing!
This is PSXPeria V2.0 Beta, AND MAY ONLY WORK ON Android 2.3.4. If you want to try it on another version, please do and let us know!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hello all!
Like many of you, Fma965 and myself were having a hell of a time getting PSXPeria to work, LET ALONE, finding support for it.
So we worked together and scoured the internet and forums looking for ways to get this working.
One problem was that you needed the US Crash Bandicoot v1.0.3, as well as the ZPAK that goes with it. Both of which are extremey hard to come by.
We tried many different methods of getting things to work, but ran into programs of corrupt data, or the emulator not working.
Fma965 found a post by poo-tang on the original PSXPeria thread about files needed to get things working on the UK version.
What we found was that these files would work, regardless of being in the UK. So we added them to what we already had worked out, AND BINGO, it works.
We tried multiple games, all worked!
We want other people to test this out and report back if it worked for them.
Please note, neither I or Fma965 are developers, so if it doesn't work, not much we can do. We just finally found something that worked for us.
The attached file contains PSXPeria, and the required files to make it work. It DOES NOT contain the APK or the ZPAK.
HOW TO USE IT
Just start the program, either psxperiatool.jar or psxperiatool-gui-windows.bat, and run through the program as you normally would.
Choose the image file you want to use by pressing the choose button.
For the game information section, put in the name of the game. Try not to use special characters, while we haven't tested this, special characters have never made things easy.
For title ID, only change the zeroes, make sure you keep the same number of digits. We haven't tried putting in more or less, but it works, so why do something different.
Just leave developer. publisher, and description alone.
You can use icons for the games if you want, they worked when Fma965 used them.
Analog mode DOES work, so you can select it. We only tested this on the few games we had. You have to go into the control scheme of the application an change it to use the analog pads as controls, by default they are set to act as L2 and R2. Scheme 5 or 6 makes them act as controls. Then check the box to enable analog mode.
After this just press CONVERT.
When completed, goto the output folder. take the folder inside the data folder, and copy it to your SD card, put it in the /sdcard/Android/Data folder. Then put the APK file created and put it anywhere. Then just select the APK and install it.
If you try and open it from the installer, it won't work. Either goto the playstation pocket app, or your application drawer and open it from there.
THATS IT!
Please test out your games and tell us if this worked!
If this worked for you, please press the thanks button for me and Fma965, and poo-tang if he ever replies!

no we are saying that the zip included in OP has the files needed from the us crash apk. to make it work on any stock 2.3.4 rom.

You don't need to rip ANYTHING from a APK or ZPAK, the zip file has everything you need, just choose your ISO and away you go.
What I meant when I said UK version, poo-tang posted those saying it gets the UK version working, what he didn't know, is it helps get them all working.

java says cannot find valid files
i left the apk file alone in the extract tab
EDIT: RE=READ the whole post,sorry for not reading it the first time..im so spoiled will be back to see how the game works

I'd do anything to be able to play Soul Reaver. my god.

i originally thought that this File of PSXPERIA did not require the apk/zpaks.
Then i re-read the whole post saying it doesnt contain any of apk/zpaks, and then i discovered the Crash files were still needed.
I have the Crash USA 103,when i used the PSXPERIA.jar ,it started decoding values,and once it was finished (it finished rather quickly than usual) i went to the output folder and found a ps1_rom.bin ... was this suppose to happen?

i wouldnt say revivied he simply took the converter from yifanlu and used a data file iploaded by poo-tang and but them in a zip together and shared it.
no "actual under the hood work" i.e programing has taken place from what i gather which means the project is still officially dead in the water.
please if im wrong correct me and tell me your taking psxperia under your wing and improving it and will make it ice cream sandwich compatible when the times ready but it seems unlikely from what you wrote earlier.
also nearly everyone else with non-us xplays has been using this method since pootang uploaded the files if you read the forums.
but i can always hope im wrong and your taking over.
on a side note ive taken a look at the psxperia and its way beyond my reach to get it working at the moment thought might give it a try with ice cream sandwich

it doesnt need the apk files or the zpak files just skip the extraction steps and go straight to the convert tab.

Please remember, DO NOT TOUCH THE EXTRACT TAB.
You don't need to extract ANYTHING. Just tell it which ISO to load, put in your settings, name id, etc. And Press CONVERT.
Try redownloading it.

we don't claim to be releasing this as our own nor do we take full credit we merely take credit for joining the files and writing this tutorial clearly you havent been to the Q&A recently constantly people are trying to get psxperia working but fail. now we can redirect them to this page and hopefully more people will have working psxperia.
AGAIN WE ARE NOT CLAIMING TO BE DOING MORE THAN WE HAVE DONE.

hmm maybe the upload didnt work correctly i will test this and get back to you.
EDIT: it works fine first accept the checkboxes then highlight the guys name then skip the extraction tab and go to the convert tab simply add the name of the game, description etc if you want and select the iso for the game in the psx box. simples ?

Sniper Spr3e said:
i wouldnt say revivied he simply took the converter from yifanlu and used a data file iploaded by poo-tang and but them in a zip together and shared it.
no "actual under the hood work" i.e programing has taken place from what i gather which means the project is still officially dead in the water.
please if im wrong correct me and tell me your taking psxperia under your wing and improving it and will make it ice cream sandwich compatible when the times ready but it seems unlikely from what you wrote earlier.
also nearly everyone else with non-us xplays has been using this method since pootang uploaded the files if you read the forums.
but i can always hope im wrong and your taking over.
on a side note ive taken a look at the psxperia and its way beyond my reach to get it working at the moment thought might give it a try with ice cream sandwich

Well me and Fma965 have been looking everywhere for things like this. But no one seemed either know, care, or bother helping. I had a post bumping for like a week and NOTHING. Where were people like you who had this info when we needed it?
I saw other people with the same problem. Either no one replied, or no one knew what to do.
So we decided to put together a complete package to get it working.
We are NOT DEVELOPERS. We simply chose to do this to help people like outselves out.
We are not trying to take credit for ANYTHING. When we ask to press the thanks button, it's for people who couldn't find this kind of information and we helped them out by making a new post, and including everything they needed.
Is doing this wrong in any way?

I can't get it to work. First of all, it doesn't extract from the crash apk and zapk; it even said "the output directory is not empty". I tried to compile soul reaver anyway. It seems to go fine, then when the bar is at the end it suddenly goes back, stays still for a while, and then gives an error: executable did not return without error.

Try deleting the output directory. It should recreate it.

The Google Now for ICS Project -THREAD II- [UPDATE 8/5][APKs AND ZIPs]

***THIS DISCUSSION IS ONLY FOR ANDROID 4.0 ICE CREAM SANDWICH! THESE APPS ONLY WORKS IN ANDROID 4.0! DON'T TRY THESE ON OTHER VERSIONS!***
So, first and foremost, Not I, or anyone else is responsible to any damage you do to your device. You are renaming/modifying system files so if you screw it up you are RESPONSIBLE, NOT US. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED. Follow the instructions in this post and you should be fine.
BELOW YOU HAVE INSTRUCTIONS FOR ARMv7 AND ARMv6 SEPARATELY, BECAUSE ARMv6 HAS ONLY A WORKAROUND FOR VOICE! SOME USERS SAID THAT ON THEIR ARMv6 DEVICES, VERSION FOR ARMv7 WORKS, SO YOU COULD GIVE IT A TRY, IF YOU ARE ON ARMv6!!!
INSTRUCTIONS FOR ARMv7 DEVICES (I repeat, you could give it a try if you're on ARMv6)
For ARMv7, there are some APKs and some flashable ZIPs. So I will give some information for everyone!
APKs for Google now: ATTENTION>>ALL O THESE APKs SHOULD BE USED WITH OTHER FILES. YOU HAVE TO USE THESE INSTRUCTIONS<<
• Download LennoxPackage.zip from http://www.mediafire.com/?8lv1h2879q925x1 It is not a flashable ZIP!!! Do not flash this in recovery!!!
• Extract all 3 folders from LennoxPackage.zip to a new folder on your computer
• Then download and replace the Velvet file in the app folder of your new folder with one of the following Velvet.apks. The Velvet.apk from Zip don't working!!!
• Move the folder you've created (with 3 subfolders) to your SD Card
• On your phone, in /system/app/, rename GoogleQuickSearchBox.apk to GoogleQuickSearchBox.apk.bak using Root Explorer (or something similar)
• In the folder you placed on your SD - you'll need to move everything from the /app/ folder to /system/app/, and set permissions to RW/R/R for each of the 3 .apks
• copy the files from the lib folder on your SD, and paste to system/lib (note, a couple of these already exist. Before copying these files go through /system/lib/ and rename any existing files to include .bak, then copy/paste new files. If you don't do this it will paste them with '- copy' as part of the file name). Change permissions of these New files to rw/r/r
• rename the existing "config" folder in /system/usr/srec/ on your phone to "config.bak", then just paste "config" and "en-US" from the srec folder on your SD to /system/usr/srec/. Some, also changed permissions on config and en-US to RWX/RX/RX
• Reboot and enjoy. (of course, your System partition should be mounted R/W -read/write - to move files in it)
And now, the APKs :laugh: >>
1. The no double take APK. The most of these APKs, shows Google Now Cards twice, one after another. This problem is solved in this APK, but it has another problem>>sometimes, you have to move your fingers on the screen for showing up the Cards<< Here, the auto-launch function should work!!!
Here is the link>> http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=1240357&d=1344043690 !!! Enjoy it! :good:
2. The one with no double take and no blank screen. This one eliminates the double take problem and the problem with white screen when you don't see Cards and you have to move your fingers on the screen. But it has another problem>>it eliminates auto-launch function because it refresh automatically the screen for showing up the Cards and there is no transition animation (for those that don't know, auto-launch function is that function that you can see when you say something like>>Navigate to ...<<A blue bar shows up and it loads and automatically does that action, in this case, opens the Google Maps Navigation and schedules your navigation details)
Here is the link>> http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=1242492&d=1344147549 !!!
3. The first voice-functional version. This one has double take but it should't have blank screen problem. It sometimes has auto-launch, sometimes not, from what I heard from users.
Here is the link>> http://www.mediafire.com/?ij9tsfg5jitm8ep !!!
4. A new version from mikeyxda. This should resolve the double take problem, auto-lauch and white screen, but it has some problems with the showing up of the cards on some phones, as I saw at you, guys.
Here is the link>> http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=1243199&d=1344183455 !!!
5. A new APK from mikeyxda. Oh man, you are completely dedicated! I like that!!! Keep it on this way!
This APK should resolve:
1. No double takes
2. Web results display properly: no font stretch or invisible results
3. Action countdown fully functional
4. "Refresh" is always available via a press of the Menu button from the cards view
Here is the download link>> http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=1243421&d=1344190796
More information here>> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=29824319&postcount=8.
The choice is yours!!! You will choose the APK that is working for you!!!
**Removed per original authors request*** ~TRM
And we are done with ARMv7 devices!!! :good: Oh, man, this will be big :laugh: !!!
TIP FOR ARMv7 DEVICES>>>***LONG PRESS ON MICROPHONE BUTTON FROM GOOGLE NOW, NOT JUST A SIMPLE PRESS, THIS WILL HELP YOU SO MUCH TO AVOID PROBLEMS !!!***<<<
INSTRUCTIONS FOR ARMv6 DEVICES (of course, if you have an ARMv7 device and methods for ARMv7 didn't work for you, you could use this, give it a try!!! This should work on almost every device with Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwitch!!!)
These are the current instructions:
1. Rename GoogleQuickSearchBox.apk in system/app to GoogleQuickSearchBox.bak
2. Rename the "Velvet-Thes0o-5.apk" that you downloaded ( http://www.mediafire.com/?hbtjvbzwbbaf3yj ) to: "GoogleQuickSearchBox.apk"
3. Place the renamed .apk in the system/app folder and set the permissions to rw-r-r
4. Reboot and enjoy!
OR
1. Rename GoogleQuickSearchBox.apk in system/app to GoogleQuickSearchBox.bak
2. Try to install the downloaded .apk off your sd just like any other .apk
OR
1. Flash this .zip through recovery -- AOSP ONLY
Here is the link>> http://goo.gl/svDEF !!!
To make Voice Action work (this is just a workaround for ARMv6 devices -if is needed, I repeat, for ARMv7 devices- that will listen to you, but it doesn't give you voice responses, just repeats what you said) you have to use these instructions:
1. Download the "Voice Search for Google Now!" app from here>> https://dl.dropbox.com/u/11388416/GoogleNowVoiceSearch.apk !!! and install it!
2. Either open up the app, hold down search or tap on the dedicated widget that comes with the app to launch the voice search
3. The app will use ICS's voice-to-text engine to get your answer, and then enters it into the Google Now app. All you have to do is hit enter and then congrats, you've got working voice search!
So, to get it working, open Voice Search for Google Now (after you installed Google Now with above instructions for ARMv6 devices), click that microphone button, say what you want, the app will open Google Now, you will see that what you said is written in Google Now, press Enter on Keyboard, and you will see the result.
***>>>NOTE FOR ARMv6 VERSION: THE VERSION FOR ARMv6, DOESN'T VOICE-RESPOND TO YOU, IT SHOWS UP RESULT, BUT IT DOESN'T READ WHAT IS WRITTEN IN RESULT, IT JUST REPEATS WHAT YOU SAID!!! THE VERSION FOR ARMv6 HAS DOUBLE TAKE!!! YOU MUST HAVE INSTALLED A PREVIOUS WORKING VOICE SEARCH, LIKE THE ONE FROM GINGERBREAD OR HONEYCOMB, TO HAVE THIS THING WORKING. YOU COULD DOWNLOAD VOICE SEARCH VERSION 2.1.4 FROM HERE>> http://www.mediafire.com/?r9b47dcirtt8m98 <<<***
INFORMATION!!!>>>
FIRST>>THANK YOU very much to all the kind people who are providing the modded .apks and .zips for us. I can't account for every single person but thank you all for helping with the effort.
Second, I will try to update this post as frequently as possible, but its so difficult to keep up with you, guys :laugh: !!! Any 'info dumps' in PM's would be appreciated.
For those of you who are complaining of no cards showing up:
You Have to understand that Google Now works by gathering information about where you are, what you search for OVER TIME. You simply can not expect it to have all of the information you want in a few minutes after you installed it, wait for it a few days, just use the Google search like you would usually and it will start to fill in!
Devices this will NOT work on:
-Devices that are running anything before Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich
-Devices not running an AOSP ROM (in most cases, try anyway and report back)
-iOS Devices (Suckas!)
Secondary voice widget:
If your ROM doesn't support a persistent search widget, this will allow you to still have a search widget that also ties to Voice Search for Google Now app
(and its color customizable for you, themers out there).
Here is the link>> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=29019660&postcount=2016 !!!
Troubleshooting Guide:

Ugh. At the risk of people think I'm "bombing" these threads with Velvet.apk versions, I have one more version today. Every time I think I'm done, someone mentions another path or "case" where I'm able to make a correction/improvement. The one attached here is hopefully my last for today and it corrects the fact that the "Refresh" menu option is not available if you go straight to the Google Now cards without first doing a search. Now "Refresh" is always available via "Menu", so to sum this version up, it does the following:
(1) No double takes
(2) Web results display properly: no font stretch or invisible results
(3) Action countdown fully functional
(4) "Refresh" is always available via a press of the Menu button from the cards view
Tips:
Searching from cards view: results are heard but don't display
If you use the small mic from the cards view window, your search will work but the results are not displayed. Simply press "Menu", "Refresh" to display them.
Searching from cards view: getting back to the red mic search window
If you are on the cards view and you want to get back to "the big red mic", just press on the small little mic on the cards view window and immediately after, use "Menu", "Refresh" while that mic is still active and it'll refresh the mic to the main/red search mic and you're back in business. "Menu", "Refresh" refreshes whatever action is currently going on so if you do a "Menu", "Refresh" while the mic is listening, it'll refresh the mic to the red mic and you'll be back on the search window.

Sweet!

I don't think you can install the apk like a regular app. You can use adb to push the file out to your phone or use root manager to replace the velvet.apk in system/app and change the permissions.

Nice thread, hopefully someone would look into getting this fully functional on ARMv6 devices. It works somewhat but very buggy. I think it has something to do with display

Has anyone had any (consistent) luck with sports cards? Right now I only have one card: for the Tampa Bay Rays. If I reboot the phone, sometimes (maybe 1 out of 10 times) I'll get the little baseball in the notifications and it'll notify me about game results after it's over. But... I never get a notification that the game has started. Never get updates when the score changes during the games. Is this a known limitation of the ICS port? I have the settings checked to "low priority" so I should be getting them consistently but I've gotten maybe one out of a dozen and... only when I reboot. For now, I've just turned the main on/off switch for Google Now to "Off" because all it does is drain my battery and never gives me any reliable notifications anyway. Just wondering if this is a known issue. I tried a search but only found a few people complaining that they don't work at all. I can't find any reference to them only working intermittently (rarely).
I said "McDonalds" into it once and it told me probably 3 times within an hour what the traffic was like to the nearest McDonalds. But I can't get it to give reliable sports cards.

Once I got sports cards to start working they seem to be getting more reliable as I use them. Be sure to do a ton of voice searches for your team right off the bat so it will know to prioritize them. My problem is actually with the auto weather notification, I swiped it away about 4 days ago and its never come back to my notification bar.. It's there in the cards section, but never the notifiy bar.
As far as a new video, I'd like to check out mikeys new apk, then if I get time maybe I can post one. if someone wants to beat me to it by all means go ahead.
One more thing.. mikey I wouldn't give up on using it quite yet, as you may have read- it really does seem to get better the more you use it and travel around town with it.. The first couple days I had it installed I was pretty much like.. is this it??

I'm not having any trouble there. Things you ask it are fine. The things it should be offering up to you automatically (without you having to ask) is where it falls flat. If I have a card for the Tampa Bay Rays, my understanding is that it should automatically alert you when the game is about to begin via notifications and also send notifications automatically during the game when the score changes. That just doesn't work.

[APP][4.0+] Gamesome Frontend - The first universal emulator frontend for Android

Before giving a low vote on the Play Store, notice that some crashes are not related to my application, but to the emulators. Some emus will have such bugs fixed in the upcoming updates. Feedbacks help me fixing issues, one-starred reviews don't.
The first universal emulator frontend for Android is finally here!
Get it on the Play Store! (It is FREE with all features fully working. The "PRO" version just remove ads)
DISCLAIMER: This app is NOT an emulator and DOES NOT include any game.
Gamesome is the first Android emulator frontend available on the Play Store!
With Gamesome you can manage your rom collection and start all your roms with your favorite emulator from a single app!
It's as easy as setting the folder where your roms are stored, Gamesome will AUTOMAGICALLY identify each rom in your collection and display it in a user-friendly way, with boxarts and useful informations about your games (Release date, publisher, and so on).
Since version 2.0 is out you can:
* Search through your collection of roms, divided by console or genre
* Customize your platforms and emulators, in such a way that you can even add unofficially supported ones(*)
* Select among many scrapers to get metadata for your roms
(Version 2.0 is still in beta testing, you install it by following the directions here)
Important:
* This application is NOT an emulator and DOES NOT include any games
* I do not represent and/or endorse emulator developers. If you think that some emulator can be supported, send an email to our support.
All the logos, products, and company names mentioned are trademarks of their respective owners and subject to their own copyright laws, Foreign or Domestic. Gamesome Frontend Emulator is not endorsing either supporting them in any way.
(*): Not all emulators are compatible with Frontend applications.
Support Wiki (work in progress):[/B] http://wiki.gamesomeapp.com

nice work!!!

This looks incredible and is exactly what Android has been missing on the emulation side. It has come a long way since you first posted about it on the RetroArch forums a month or two ago! Keep it up! :good::good:

Thanks for the compliments!
Update 1.02 just uploaded on the store:
Code:
* Roms can be stored in subfolders of the root rom directory
* Changed top bar to comply Android standards
* When the app crashes, users are now able to send a bug report by email
* Fixed UI: Some elements were not updated after selection of new platform
* Fixed a rare bug that made the app crash when selecting ROM folder
* Click on a game to show its details, keep a game clicked to execute it
* Fixed missing support for some .EMU emulators
* Added MD.EMU in Sega Master System emulators
* MSX and Colecovision are now two separated platforms
* Redesigned scan process: app is not locked during rom scan
* Roms alphabetically sorted and indexed
* Added region detection (incomplete, not working for Dreamcast, MAME and PSP)
* Platform Coverflow replaced with gridded list. In next updates expect something better :)
* Hide unwanted platforms
* FPSE working (latest update from store)
* Reicast not working anymore after the latest update
* Identification for MAME could not work. The service used for identification is currently unavailable.

I love your app.
I've been searching for this kind of app for a long time. Thank you :good:
Can you tell me what file extensions does recognize for playstation games?
I have cue and bin files and it does not detect them.
They work fine on RetroArch.
Regards.

Maybebi just didn't see it, but if its not there, add a Playstore link. Trying it out now.

I'm still having trouble when detection PSX games. I have all bin files in PSX folder i created specific for this emulation.
Selected that folder for Playstation rom folder.
But it does nothing, i select Playstation in the menu, it takes to the part where it should check for rom files, but it does not it doesn't even tell me so. And after some minutes the app crashed.
I might add, while it is trying to search for games and if i go to another console list, it does not show any of my collection until the app crashes.
After that all of my collection is listed in the diferent console type except in Playstation, where it continues to trying to search and crashes.
I've sent the error through e-mail the other day.

lg l38c not supported?
the lg-l38c or lg optimus dynamic is apparently "not supported" i have this device sitting around all the time and have nothing to do with it. though it is an old phone, it emulates great and has wiimote support. if anyone could upload the apk for me it would be greatly appreciated!

Hi, i installed the Playstore version but i am only getting a blue screen, no emulators.
I have an Odroid U3 with a stock rooted andorid 4.1.2 version.
Any idea?

Hi Vekto88,
I just want to give you my thanks for this great work, I really love what you're doing. I even bought the "PRO" version. But there is a problem I just want to report, when it comes to scan the roms, sometimes it missunderstood the name and guess one similar, another game. Probably, and this is just an idea, could be use an internal database as No-Intro or Goodsets, scanning by the crc32 hash. Anyway, I love seeing all those covers to play the games, something I always wanted to. So again, a thank you very much for this soft.

new ui
Thanks for your work on this project..it is awesome!
I have purchased pro and have it has worked great until the recent release with the updated UI.
I primarily use this program on my set top box and am having trouble navigating without use of an airmouse. (Before everything could be controlled with a gamepad)
Is it possible to downgrade to a previous version?

Hi!
I tried to sideload the apk on the amazon firetv, but it won't show or do anything but a grey background and the settings icon in the top right. i could also navigate to the settings and change them, but there was no option to scan and no games were shown at all. maybe you can fix this.
Also: does your in app-purchase work on the firetv too? or will i be forced to watch ads?
I completely understand that this is not an officially supported device, just wanted to let you know about this issue(s).
Thanks for the app, it works wonderfully on my phone!

Hi superkoal,
To run properly the app needs that Play Services and Play Store are installed on your device, otherwise it won't show the platform list.
To all the previous posters:
For some reason I never got the notification mail from XDA for this topic even if I was subscribed and I've never checked it. I hope that your problems have been solved through the email/forums support!

Great App!
Any way we can customize (change) the console selection icons (circles)?

Not yet, but it has already been pointed out to me that my icons aren't so good and I'll probably add the possibility to set custom icons, because I always schedule to redesign icons, but graphics is not my forte and I always procrastinate.

PSX Game not recognised
I have a collection of PSX games and one of them is not getting picked up by the scanner "Castlevania Symphony of the night". The format is .bin .cue. I have tried changing the file extension to iso and still nothing. How does the scanner work? is it based on a checksum or the file name? Where is the android log-file situated so that I can try and see what the problem might be.
The probem happened both on a android top box and my Galaxy S3 running Cyanogenmod.
Thank you, this is a fantastic App.

Hello,
The game recognition for PSX games is based on the content of the SYSTEM.CNF file inside the disk image, this file contains the game serial (i.e. SLES-11504) that can be used to identify the game.
Some games like Castlevania and Tekken3 are known to not work properly.
Rest assured that I'll investigate the cause of the problem soon.
