[Windows Phone 7 Software Development] Nudua:
vNESLight 1.0 is now live, bringing a redesigned GUI, new controls, improved save states and much more. It has also been split up into a fully functional ad-supported free version and a paid version (vNESLight Pro) without ads. Unfortunately that means the xap file will no longer be available for sideloading. Both versions should be up in all of the marketplace regions by the end of the week.

vNESLight (free): http://www.windowsphone.com/s?appid=3d8e51b8-1884-4aa7-bb2c-2eda47745a27

vNESLight Pro (paid): http://windowsphone.com/s?appid=11ff7758-04ea-42d9-b012-55f90de82b10

Version 1.0 features - 1-April-2012

- Completely new and improved controls + portrait support

- SkyDrive integration

- Fully featured jump list for all your games

- Fast and fluent multiple save states system (swipe to change slot)

- Backup and restore your save states via SkyDrive

- Pin any game to the start screen

- Auto detects the best settings for your device

- Experimental Hardware Keyboard support

- The demo ROMs of Battle Kid 2 and Super Bat Puncher are included

Method 1 for adding games: (SkyDrive)

1) Get ROMs, don't ask me where. (use GoodNES branded ROMs if u have issues with invalid files)

(Optional) zip, or rar all your ROM files to more easily add a batch of games at once.

2) Login to https://skydrive.live.com/, you can use any Live account u like xbox, hotmail etc.

3) Upload said zip/rar file or nes games to SkyDrive.

4) Hit the + icon inside vNESLight, hit sign in to SkyDrive and navigate to your zip/rar or nes file then just tap on it to add the game(s).

Method 2: (via webserver, or direct link from dropbox)

1) Upload the files to your webserver (or dropbox)

2) Hit the + icon inside vNESLight and enter the full link into the Url box and hit add. Support for zip, rar and nes files.

As always thanks for all the feedback and testing done.

@nuduaa for updates on twitter.
[Windows Phone 7 Software Development] ubeyou:
this is awesome if the performance doesn drop in the phone. Support!
[Windows Phone 7 Software Development] Nudua:
Yeah that's what I'm most worried about as well, wish dev's had Mango already so I could do performance profiling on the phone, but at least it's possible on the emulator.
[Windows Phone 7 Software Development] kwill:
Looks like you're prayers were answered as dev's got it today apparently.
[Windows Phone 7 Software Development] Nudua:
Aye still waiting for the invite e-mail for the Mango rom update, but I've already installed the new tools.

Currently pushing about 20-25 fps without sound atm, it's abit lower with sound.

Will be great to actually do some profiling on real hardware.
[Windows Phone 7 Software Development] ryotgz:
Did you receive your mango invite? I'm running the official Mango beta on my Focus.
[Windows Phone 7 Software Development] Nudua:
Yeah, actually more or less done with the beta version for Mango already, you can seamlessly switch back and forth between the game thanks to the new multitasking.

I'm just trying to figure out how I'm gonna do the UI for the Nodo version.

As for the age old question on how to add roms to the app;

What I've come up with so far is, first you add all your rom files to a zip file called "nesgames.zip" then you open the xap file of the emulator in winzip (or another zip manager).

Finally you can just drag the "nesgames.zip" file into winzip to replace the standard "nesgames.zip" file and voila all your roms are added easily.
[Windows Phone 7 Software Development] ryotgz:
Do you get any better performance on Mango compared to Nodo? If you need a tester, I can help out.
[Windows Phone 7 Software Development] Nudua:
Sadly it didn't really, but it's helped a great deal by beeing able to performance test on a actual device.

I'll get the Mango beta version up in a couple of hours, just need clean up a couple of things.
[Windows Phone 7 Software Development] Nudua:
Ok, just wanted to bump the thread to let u guys know that the beta version for Mango is out:

http://nudua.net/files/vneslightbeta1.xap

Check out the first post for more details (Update #2).
[Windows Phone 7 Software Development] ryotgz:
Awesome. Going to download and try it out.
[Windows Phone 7 Software Development] ryotgz:
Very nice for the first beta. I'm getting about 26-30 FPS on the games I've tried so far on my Focus running Mango beta 2.

Pros:

I like the way you add games to the XAP.

Multi-tasks

Pretty fast

Cons:

Controls

If you reopen the app (via icon) while its running, it relaunches it from the start. I remember seeing a command that you can add that will make it open like it does from the multitask window.

One thing to note. I saw a post about mango got rid of the 30 FPS limit by adding a new line in the program. But I can't remember if it was just for XNA games or if it included silverlight. Not sure if this would help your or not.

Very good work so far!
[Windows Phone 7 Software Development] Nudua:
Yeah the controls are extremly basic, will definitely make them work a lot better.

Gonna check into resuming the app while it's still running, sounds like a much better way.

Tried getting rid of the 30fps limit, but the problem lies with the cpu, can't run the logic fast enough.

Cheers for the feedback
[Windows Phone 7 Software Development] ryotgz:
I submitted this to WMPU and they have an article about it. Hopefully this will get ya some more feedback.

I've been messing with the emulator more and it runs much better than the other NES emulator.
[Windows Phone 7 Software Development] Nudua:
Cool cool, yeah I originally checked out that sharpnes based emulator myself, but getting something like that up to par would be a lot of work, considering the original project is so incomplete.

I'm currently checking out various ways to speed up the code even more.
[Windows Phone 7 Software Development] DavidinCT:
I got my trophy unlocked pretty much just for this... Do you have a list of games tha run fine or is there issues with some games ?
[Windows Phone 7 Software Development] Nudua:
Since this is a port of mature emulator called VirtualNES, most of the mappers (MMC's) needed to play are already done, so most games should work just fine.

The only problem game I've seen so far has been with Kid Dracula, but it's pretty easy to modifiy any single mapper.

But keep in mind, this is still a very early beta.
[Windows Phone 7 Software Development] ryotgz:
Most of the games I've tried run fine. Maniac Mansion doesn't display properly in some parts, but I've seen the issue in many emulators.
[Windows Phone 7 Software Development] DavidinCT:
I see the controls on the first page, I don't have a QWERTY keyboard on mine, is there on-screen controls for this ?

Also for adding/removing games, why don't you look into the USBdriver option ( HERE ). There is addon (works with Nodo and mango) where you can use your WP7 device as a USB drive (same folders as music and pictures), you can create a NESROMS folder in there and anyone could manually add or remove games with out re-deplying the app, just by connecting with USB and closing Zune.

Please hit thanks if this helped !
[Windows Phone 7 Software Development] Nudua:
The controls in the emulator are touch only, as for the controls mentioned in the post at the top are for the Silverlight 4 version, I'll clean up the original post so there's no confusion.

USBdriver looks pretty interesting, but I really don't want to complicate things.

And there's no reason why you can't add your ~50 most favorite NES games from the get go.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] volantis:
I'm on BAMF 1.7. I just noticed that programs that require root like Wifi Tether, Shoot Me, etc. don't work and question whether I have root access.

Root Checker says I have root and Busybox is correctly installed.

I want to install BAMF 2.1 and am not sure what I should do. Do I need to re-root to be certain? I did the manual ADB method the first time and the root-required programs worked fine before.

Any ideas appreciated.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lostnuke:
Reboot and check again.

[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] volantis:
Tried that several times to no avail.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lostnuke:
Kinda strange. I would probably go through the root process again to be safe. Probably not what u wanted to hear.

[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] volantis:
Figured I might need to. Could definitely be worse.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lostnuke:
Exactly! Good luck.

rooted Tbolt w/ tapatalk
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] volantis:
Ok, so weird.

I re-rooted without issue. Installed a new ROM and it's all good. The apps that quit working still aren't working after restoring with MyBackup Root.

Some of the errors:

ROM Manager: Failure to execute privileged commands

Shoot Me: No root access

Wirless Tether: Starting tether failed, verify root access

So that was last night. I let the phone sit overnight and this morning and was able to Fix Permissions w/ ROM Manager for the first time. Shoot Me and Wireless Tether are also working. Any idea what would have caused/fixed that?

Also, I still have some apps that are Force Closing. They won't uninstall from the Application management area. An Example is WindAlert. Why is this happening and how can I correct it?
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] loonatik78:
I had this happen once with one of Chingy's ROM's. I think it was TPS 1.4. I just reflashed the ROM and it worked like it should. If I recall, he suggested you had 2 options if that happened. 1: reflash the rom. That worked for me. 2: flash a full rooted RUU, radios and all, through the bootloader. I wish I could remember the thread.... I want to say it was on his Gingeritus thread, but I can't remember. The answer is out there though. Doing the ADB root again isn't at all needed since you've got s-off.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lostnuke:
Something is still not right.

I would verify the md5 on your rom. perform a full wipe. 3x cache, data, and dalvik. reinstall rom. once phone reboots, allow the phone to sit for a while to settle in. i wouldnt use Ti backup for restoring apps data. definitely not system data.
[Galaxy S II General] rantzzz:
Hi all,

While I was using the phone, the screen suddenly turned neon color (all the colors were off the chart!)

Needless to say, I was shocked beyond words

Then I checked the battery graph and noticed a large spike in the battery usage

Anyone experienced this before? :( (Pls see the attachment)

Faulty battery perhaps?
[Galaxy S II General] cmd512:
I have not. But, I'd like to know if you've been drinking or used any other controlled substance prior to SGSII usage?...
[Galaxy S II General] kreoXDA:
he clearly spilled a diluted Viagra cocktail on the phone, but the effect was short lived, the phone climaxed in about 1 minute, and returned to its normal flaccid curve.

OP - this is very unusual, you should get this to support. Either battery is bad or something shorted in the phone??
[Galaxy S II General] RogerPodacter:
What is the confusion? His phone has been unplugged 7 hours, and his graph shows the display on almost the entire time. Seems normal to me, most people get around 5 hours screen on time.

That said, I have no clue about neon screen from heavy usage.
[Galaxy S II General] XpLoDWilD:
Wouldn't it be the opposite ? I mean, because the screen turned neon (so white/blue colors I think ?), it drained much more battery since OLED cells eats more battery when white.
[Galaxy S II General] kreoXDA:
#4 and #5 - guys did you open the OP's attachment? The battery graph spiked to 100% momentarily, and that is when the display turned neon.

The question is not about 7 hours of battery life, it is about that spike and color change. I bet something shorted somewhere :)
[Galaxy S II General] rantzzz:
:( probably that's the reason

Shucks... piss poor battery life and now this? :mad:
[Galaxy S II General] rantzzz:
Pink and white, but it was a sudden burst

I must be the lucky one in a million to experience this kaleidoscope of colors :p

And yes, bloody strange that it spiked to 100% instead of -100%!!

My phone must have given it a superturbo 1millisecond charge!

Or the battery might have zapped my screen when it malfunctioned

Damn!

Oh hell:(
[Galaxy S II General] RogerPodacter:
oh i see it now. i opened the pic first time but glanced too fast. it looks like some type of voltage spike for a split second. interesting.
[Galaxy S II General] __NBH__:
I had this once, the screen went bright red/pink but its never happened again but I don't recall seeing battery spike.
[Galaxy S II General] rantzzz:
YAAAA!!!! Bright red/pink!!!

I was totally freaked out

Did you check the graph? It's really hard to miss the spike!
[Galaxy S II General] blue265:
My screen also went pink/red at one point out of the blue. I can only say it looks sort of like Night Mode in Chainfire3D but at the time I did not even have it installed. It freaked me out and went away. It wasn't green though
[Galaxy S II General] rantzzz:
Ok, seems like I'm not the only one :p

Ya it was pink/red bright. No greenish colors :D
[Galaxy S II General] victaaaa:
I also had this spike, whilst I was using the phone charging via USB.

I don't recall any colour changes though.
[Galaxy S II General] Paganister:
Just this second while I was charging my phone I unlocked it using the home button and the screen appeared MUCH brighter than usual (even set to 100% brightness) and all the colours seemed to be pumping out a lot more aggressivly. Maybe this is what the OP saw.

I locked the phone, unlocked it again and it was fine. But if I tried to turn the lock screen on by pressing the home button nothing would happen - only the unlock button. I unplugged the phone and plugged it back in and now it's back to normal. :confused:

I will try to take a photo next time but I may not in fear of burning the pixels out.
[Galaxy S II General] rantzzz:
I'm pretty much sure what I saw was different

The colors on the screen were totally out of whack, only pink/red bright colors
[Galaxy S II General] Sleepycat3:
It is probably the sudden power draw by the screen which caused the battery to overdraw and hence spike in voltage. The battery capacity chart is based on voltage and so it shows the spike.
[Galaxy S II General] Dr.Sid:
If you draw too much power from the battery, the voltage should lower. Not spike to 100% ! Imho something is seriously wrong with the phone.
[Galaxy S II General] Mitty1990:
I had the funky coloured screen but mine went aqua and was upside down lol
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raydm:
so is there anything like this with verizon ?

i m currently with tmobile and want to switch.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yareally:
A lot more than tmobile (who has a 2gb cap before they throttle you).
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ddgarcia05:
Before july 7th the unlimited data plan for $30 will have no cap which is a big plus for people who live in a 4g area. Starting on the 7th new customers will have to pick data packages what start with 2gb a month for $20 or $30. New plans suck.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lostnuke:
Existing plans will be grandfather in.

[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vinnyjr:
Currently with T-Mobile, they don't throttle you until you reach 5 gb. Some plans are different but being with T-Mobile for several years and NEVER been throttled, my plan is 5 gb. I am also going to switch to Verizon to take advantage of their data plan before they change.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nrfitchett4:
new t-mobile unlimited plans are 2gb for the special price, all others are still 5gb and they will throttle you (found out the first month).

Verizon's official position is that they may throttle those that are in the top 5% of data users, esp during peak data usage times. Only been with them a couple of weeks so not sure how hard ass they are. Haven't seen anyone complain.

I've only used about 4gb so far in 2 weeks.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] satseaker:
I've been using about 10-15 gigs a month for the last 3 years and have never seen any cap,I'm sure they will start it when the new pricing plans start but I plan to keep my service the way it is.

[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ron750ss:
I have also been told by Verizon employees that plans in place before 7/7/11 will be grandfathered. If you don't have a VZW data plan yet but have been considering it, pull the trigger before the 7th.

I have not been able to confirm that the unlimited cap on grandfathered plans will be "for life" but this has been the general consensus from what I've heard.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raydm:
so there is no data throttling on verizon as of now ! cause i might just use about 10 -15 gb of 4g in a month.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PhillyCheez:
verizon throttles but that was 3G... not sure if that applies to 4G... yet.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sg1dan:
6.6gb in third week and haven't been throttled. unlike the tmobile where i got throttled to 56k speeds.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EFoxwell:
I have never heard this 5% thing before. I am on a 3g only area and can say my data is getting throttled pretty rough. Been days since I got solid speeds and my girlfriends dinc, my old phone, is getting way better speeds. I am currently over 4.5 gb this month and she is under 2.5
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] orkillakilla:
Good god what do you people do to use that much data? If I TRY to use a lot, I may use 4gb in a MONTH! I just don't find out practical to watch full movies on my phone... Sure a youtube video every now and then, but not a WHOLE movie. Talk about a battery killer...

Recently, in order to save battery whenever im home which is most of the time i switch off the 3G network and go on wifi. Since I dont have 4G coverage near my home yet its much better than running of 3G. not only has it been lowering my data usage which is small to begin with but been making my battery last forever. even on my extended battery.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EFoxwell:
I have a boring job and no super vision. :-) plus I tether a lot...
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] satseaker:
Well data flies when you tether,a movie on the phone might only be 300mb but the same flick on a pc it 2gb,anyway since I have been a vzw slave I have bounced as much a 20gb but average 10-15gb,i drive a truck and this is my internet,as far as speeds go some 3g markets are slow some are fast but I have never seen it throttled,as far as 4g goes fastest I have seen is phoenix, slowest was oklahoma city, los angeles is consistant all over the valley.

[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RunNgun42:
I just switched to verizon yesterday after learning this so that I would be grandfathered in. I spoke to 2 different store reps and 1 online rep and they all confirmed that data usage is 100% unthrottled and uncapped if you sign up before the 7th. Now I imagine there is some fine print which says if you use 50GB in a month they can throttle you if they wish, but obviously this is well above and beyond anyone's usage pattern.

On tmobile I was routinely hitting the 2GB cap without doing much at all. I stream a lot of music while I drive, and email a lot of 5MP pictures to myself to watch on my computer so I dont have to worry about a USB cable. I also surf on my lunch break and in the evenings on the couch. I can use about 1GB a week doing this.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] David 617:
I think im getting throttled. my 3g used t be much faster.

I used over 70GB the first month this was out and never got throttled and still don't(Didn't have internet for that month so my phone became the internet). So its a good bet its quite high and will stay there for the unlimited people. >1MB/sec upload speeds <3 for torrents

[Eee Pad Transformer General] Ubelmort:
So as most of us know the mic on the TF sucks completely for video chatting. Has anyone figured out how to just hook up a mic to the TF without it turning off the TF speakers?

Right now I have a removable mic from my Razor headset that I can plug into any mic jack and use it on, but since the jack on the TF is for headphones and mic, it disables the sound from playing on the internal speakers.

I'm going to try and dig around on the back end to see if I can find the code that disables the speakers, but I was just wondering if anyone has come across this yet?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] frosty5689:
My mic is detected as headphones, even worse off than you. You need to get those 1-to-2 splitter for iPad/iPhones, no way of not turning the speakers off (unless you modify the kernel source and compile your own)
