Just don't flash the 3 button lol its evol

Sent from my i897 running MIUI 1.8.19 with TalonMTD kernel.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prbassplayer:
Its not evil its just outdated. It was used pre GB bootloaders. Its ment to fix the 3 button issue by JUST flashing a secondary bootloader. Now that we have GB bootloaders people think they need the "fix" and end up mismatching a GB primary bootloader and a eclair/froyo secondary bootloader creating a very expensive paper weight.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xijar:
Meh can still jtag. Not too expensive and gets the phone going again. I understand why the fix breaks phones I just think its best to stay away from it since adb + jig work without it.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prbassplayer:
Ive read issues with ADB and CM7 based roms not working properly though. But I dislike AOSP roms on captivate, haven't had great experiences with them. But thats just personal observation. Although I quoted you my explanation was directed at OP sorry if that was confusing, just noticed it xD
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] studacris:
Adb doesn't work in all states such as a soft brick when you would need it.

And a jig only boots to download mode, meaning something that could have been fixed by a cwm flash is now a flash to stock using odin. And THEN the custom rom you could've flashed if your combos worked...

The aio toolbox has the 3 button fix, if you don't plan on flashing gingerbread any time soon then use that.

JUST DO NOT USE IT ONCE YOU'VE MADE THE JUMP TO GINGERBREAD. Unless first using odin one click jf6, that replaces both bootloaders with eclair ones, first.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Darkuso:
Is risky applied this fix? If i have a jig, can i avoid try this fix rigth?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prbassplayer:
Keel in mind you wont be able to reach recovery, jig only gets you in download mode. As ti risk flashy any type of bootloaders carries some risk for a hard brick. Id recommebd GB bootloaders and just forget about bootloaders. Just my 2 cents. But like always read read read =)
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AdamOutler:
That's because THOSE gingerbread bootloaders are not for our phones. Tell whoever your ROM developer is to change his methods. He's causing bricks.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] studacris:
So it won't brick with kf1 pbl mixed with a froyo (kb1) sbl?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AdamOutler:
Never mix bootloaders and never run bootloaders which are not for your phone. That's how you end up with a brick.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Darkuso:
Good to know this, question: that is why u and ur team made andromeda3 in froyo? is safer stay with those bootloaders?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] studacris:
Andromeda is based off of the armani source code, which a gingerbread source has not been released for. So they haven't updated it.

But yes it is safer to never flash bootloaders as that is the only time you risk a brick. So if you never touch them you have a very tiny chance of ever bricking as it would be a hardware malfunction that would not allow you to flash out of a "soft brick" Such as a broken usb port...
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pirateghost:
Andromeda (in all its renditions up to and including 3) were based on Froyo because GB wasnt even a spec on the map for Galaxy S devices when it began life.

If we see some Armani source drop, we will work on a GB version, but we decided to stick true to the game and only work on armani source.

some of us have other projects we work on outside of a teamkomin build.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AdamOutler:
Right. Like my heimdall one-click project is designed to take the guesswork out of flashing for noobs. If you stick with one-clicks for your device, then you are using proper firmware which has been tested or at least pre-paired by someone for your device. It's not a Team project.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chrislbaird:
I have just installed cyangenmod 7. I have enabled market and installed the Barnes and Noble nook app. I noticed some e-books give an error that they are not supported. I get this for the pets book that was auto added to my library. It worked on vanilla 1.2. I am thinking there is a nook color specific app that enables opening more book types. Is this true? Can I install this app on cyengenmod 7.0.3?
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] hairdewx:
It's a good thing that we have multiple options in terms of emulation. So which emulator should we use and why?

Obviously if a game works for one and not the other, the choice is clear.

But what about games that work well on both? What are the differences?

Ultimately the choice is your own, but know that there are subtle differences between the emulators.

The native emulator appears to have some filtering going on when SW-render is on, and higher res models when SW-render is off. The native emulator also seems to have more stable frame rates when a game works.

FF7:

FPSE:

Native SW-render:

A bonus for using the native emulator is this:
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] LegionTHEFecalExcretion:
Analog support, Hardware Acceleration, Playstation Pocket compatibility. All reasons why I will be using PSXPERIA whenever possible, and FPSE in other situations. Tekken 3 for example, no contest, the PSXPERIA version beats the pants off of the FPSE version. Your screenshots speak volumes.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] subcu1ture:
Yeah alll the games I like work fine of PSXPERIA
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] Red_Kop:
For me, the only negative things with PSXPeria compared to FPSE are:

1. Lack of easily configurable options. Just to fine tune that game!

2. Lack of a multiple save state system that is quick to use.

That's all at the moment.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] subcu1ture:
Yeah what we need is the Sony Emulator devs to be in this forum :D
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] AndroHero:
lack of multi disk support, lack of compatibility .....

And you guys wonder why FPse devs cant be bothered adding touchpad support, if i was them and i came here, I'd igore the play users too :rolleyes:
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] Dousan:
The few games I like gets stuck with no graphic, just black nothingness within the first mission, with psxperia but with fpse they work without any graphic glitches.

Even more the analog touchpad does not work correctly in those games either.

So I choose fpse any day as of now and if they implement analog touchpad it would be a signed deal for me. Further more it has far more settings to finetune to optimize the gaming experience ;)

Regards Dousan...
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] AndroHero:
In the prefrences.xml file, the bottom line says:

<boolean name="Analog Mode" value="false" />

Try turning it to true .... maybe the sticks will work

:)
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] LegionTHEFecalExcretion:
Lots of games are single disc, but lack of compatibility?!?!? Ive compiled over 50 games thus far. I have 35 flawlessly working games now. Id say thats a pretty good ratio for something that was never supposed to work in the first place. To enable analog support you have to go to controls in the menu and change to option 6. Works amazingly well in Crash 3, Spyro 3, Need for Speed 3, Tekken 3, and the list goes on. This is what the X-Play was meant to be!
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] Cat_On_Droid:
Strangely the native has PERFECT FMV, something schtruck said was difficult to emulate.

Oh and psxperia runs faster too and less graphical glitches from what I tested

Oh and its free and the UI is soooo sexy
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] Logseman:
It is difficult to emulate if you didn't create the console and have access to every minute detail of its internals.

About FPSE not adding the touchpad support, it's a choice of theirs. However, my money is as good as any other user's. If those users get updates so that their device can run FPSE better, so should I.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] Nifnodge:
Id love to Try PSXperia but every time I've asked a question regarding how to even set it up I've been shot down for being too inexperienced. I think one of the most common lines Iget is that if it's too complicated then I shouldn't bother. I guess I'll be going without Xmas dinner this year too :-P

For all the help I HAVE had, the amount of replies to the above tarnish my opinion. Its like an elitist hive and woe be tide if you dont know what you're doing and you're made to look a complete child amidst what I can only call technobabble. I've had to resort to PM's and YouTube tutorials due to the amount of rudeness I've received on here.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] Logseman:
I never knew where this meme came from. However, you've made me use it and educate myself by googling the origin of the meme. For that, I thank you. And as a bonus reward, the PSXperia guide that the DEV himself (who by the way has been absent and probably won't come back), penned for us: https://github.com/yifanlu/PSXperia/wiki

Oh, and the thread where the whole PSXperia thing is covered: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1201532
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] Cat_On_Droid:
Yifan lu not coming back, why??
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] AndroHero:
He has his money. Why would he? :D
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] Logseman:
Actually, he hasn't. Or at least not half of it. And I don't think it's for the money: he seems like a really helpful guy and not a mercenary. However it doesn't encourage much additional effort that after doing his part of the deal, half of the ones who pledged refuse to do the same. If the bounty was $200 and all of us had paid, I'm sure he'd still stick around here and do his best for us.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] AndroHero:
I totally agree about the people that pledged money and then refused to pay. I was especially disapointed with one that was ment to be a developer too. *CoughFrAsErTaGCough" :rolleyes:
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] jdz7t8:
Neither can properly emulate final fantasy 7 or chrono cross :(

***Update***

Well PSXPERIA with sw turned on does seem to be able to emulate ff7 pretty well -SO FAR.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] 5zal07:
psxperia was the default xperia ?
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] Nifnodge:
I've tried both those links and they've proved useless. But thanks for the picture. My 3 year old got a kick out of it. I'm not familiar with me me's but thats the price I pay for living a life in the real world and not glued to a monitor. Go you!! :rolleyes:
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] Logseman:
The time you spent writing this ad hominem fallacy (aka insult) could have been better used in

a) spending time with your toddler.

b) setting a good example for your toddler by reading and understanding what you read instead of insulting someone over the internet.

Given that b) is out of reach for you as your post proves, I'd recommend you to stick to a). It's for your child's good :)
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] Cat_On_Droid:
This is going nowhere...

-_-

I used the XDA App to post this, what did you use?
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] Logseman:
Cheers to you too. At least I can say I didn't start it ;)
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] Nifnodge:
yes, you in NO WAY belittled a genuine inquiry with an image usually attached to unusually long and boring rants, as well as some overly sarcastic overtones. Half your original response was neither wanted or required. You could have merely passed on the links without the stupidity. As I've said somewhere else. It's too much to ask people when you simply want support without them being a fool. I'm not the first person to realise this and I doubt I'll be the last.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] Logseman:
Hey, it's not me who accompanies his "genuine queries" with this epilogue:

As you very well say, I could have simply passed you the links or simply stayed away from this thread. However, I chose to pass you the links AND to contest the self-important attitude you show there. No one cares about how you feel people treat you in an internet forum, and there is no reason why anyone should care. You certainly won't read anyone worth reading here whining about those things.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] liaoip:
I've tried both...

I think both FPSE and the PSXPERIA have their pros and cons. I actually like the graphics better on PSXPERIA but the lack on ability to customize and configure, as well as the inability to use multiple save states is kind of a bummer. The other thing that rather bothers me (though some might not find it a bother) is that every single game that you add to PSXPERIA is treated like a separate app. This means that it not only takes up space in your app tray, but it also takes up internal memory space (even if you apps2sd). This is kind of annoying. It would be nice if there was a way to load a rom without it having to be "installed". That's just my 2 cents.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] Nifnodge:
Love the elitist overtones. Go back to your keyboard and let the helpful people help others and you stick to those you consider worth reading. Now shh.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] Logseman:
Of course I'm being elitist. If your attitude is prick-like, someone will shoot you down. And about being helpful or not... XDA members decide. And seemingly I'm not being that hideously unhelpful after all. Perhaps it's because some people come to ask questions and not to show off how douche-y they can get to be? :eek:

I've added you to my ignore list. I suggest you follow my example.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] Cat_On_Droid:
I only play 1 game on fpse, and that's sypro 3

Psxperia ftw

I used the XDA App to post this, what did you use?
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] Logseman:

[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] Nhialor:
anyone got the analog sticks working?

EDIT: In PSXPeria i meant?
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] JM43:
Fpse-MGS, Valkyrie profile

Psxperia-ISS Pro Evolution 2

Can't get the analogs to work on Psxperia; although they did work for VP but there was a bunch of other issues with the game. I've only tried these games. I think analogs are hit or miss with the psxperia.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] Nifnodge:
I'd rather not. One too many dicks on here already. I'll just stick to the helpful folk. Thanks for your input?
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] youtashiro:
Well , I am very happy with the functionality and compatibility list of the psxperia so far, almost all games I have are working with no big issues , but the xpera play´s limited internal storage thing is starting to be a problem cause I´ve installed several games that now if I want to install a new one, I have to unonstall another one first.. Hope games could at least take less disk space, its the only negative point I see about XP.... So, I will give a try to FPSE and see what happens ...
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] vemoxy:
I'm playing Final Fantasy Tactics on PSXperia, and the screen keeps going back every once in a while. Is this normal?
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] benoitb85:
Me too, playing Tony Hawk 1 and 2, I overclock to 1.4GHz and it's still a bit slow depending on what is shown on the screen but quite playable and enjoyable.

I would appreciate if FPSE can speed up a bit more.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] shsh_ustc:
prefer psxperia but recently upgrade to 2.3.4 and hence no choice...
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] bangmang520:
Really good
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] trueg:
Well, I haven't tried FPSE on my Play yet (it worked great on Windows Mobile), but I decided to try PSXperia today.

Considering that we are able to use the emulator core, optimized for a single game (Crash) with other games is pretty awesome. Major props to yifanlu for doing the foot work and then putting together an app for everyone to use.

I tried it with Intelligent Qube and it worked great once I enabled SW mode.

I then wanted to try Tomb Raider, but since the original CD is a mixed mode Data/Audio CD I ran into problems. It would work if I didn't care about the original CD audio, so I will have to use FPSe for this game.

I then wanted to try Heart of Darkness & Metal Gear Solid, but these are both multi disc games.

Obviously there are limitations that would need to be fix/implemented by Sony, but if you can get it to work, it's an excellent alternative to FPSe.

Hopefully Yifan will be able to extract something useful from Version 3.

A sense ROM would probably be a refreshing change from the currently overloaded AOSP based ROMs (not complaining).
