I recently put the Sony Playstation emulator FPSEce 9.6 on my Cingular 8525 and it is way too cool! Curently I have Army Men 3D (full speed), Crash Bandicoot (kinda slow but playable), Tekken 1 (kinda slow but playable), Mega Man (near full speed), Gran Turismo 1 (kinda slow but playable), Driver 1 (kinda slow but playable), San Rush Extreme Racing (near full speed), Twisted Metal 4 (near full speed), and Ready 2 Rumble Boxing (kinda slow but playable) all playing on my phone! Guy's try it out, you won't find better pocket pc games than those of Playstation 1. Just own the games and a Playstation to make having the bios legal (Google on how to extract bios).

What I want out of this post is for everyone that uses FPSEce on this phone to list the games that they have found to be compatible with the tytn model phone running this emulator. I will update it as well when I find any new compatible games. Enjoy!

I use Metal Slug X Super Vehicle 001 full speed

mortal kombat 2 & Cool Boarders 3 runs a bit slower..
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] raix:
Is there a Site where i can find the Images?

Or do I have to rip everything by myselve?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] stewcp:
As above, but legally speaking I would guess you need to own the originals!!!

What size files do these games produce when ripped and what software do you use?

Crash Bandicoot is my all time favorite game on the PS... you mentioned its slow, but playable... is it so slow that I might end up throwing my MDA across the room :eek:
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] brwnohno:
To answer the first question, yes you do need to own the originals. I have a used game store that I visit that still sells used playstation 1 games. Most of them they let me have for $3 to $5 each. Pretty cheap pocket pc games if you ask me!

I use a program called "Magic Iso" to rip the games. Then I use a program called "Pocket Iso" to rip out the movies and shrink them. To get Magic Iso just go to (www.magiciso.com), I only use the trial version of this software. To get Pocket Iso go to (www.fpsece.net). I have been able to shrink a game down to between 39mb to 304mb. Some games will let you rip out all the movies and music where some will not. Kind of a trial and error thing.

Crash is like I said "playable" @ maybe 12 - 14 fps. There is a frame skip option on FPSEce that you can use that helps some. To some that frame rate might convince someone to throw their MDA across the room but there are other games that play at near full speed that you can always use. Still cool to see Crash on a PDA though! Hope all this helps!

Does it eat up a lot of battery life quickly when you play the games?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] brwnohno:
Not that I've noticed. The juice holds up very well! As a matter of fact I can't tell tell any difference between running this emulator and running a normal ppc application when it comes to battery life. Hope that helps!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] brwnohno:
Crazy thing, I experimented with a Gameboy Advance emulator yesterday for this phone and the Playstation 1 emulator not only has much better graphics but on average runs I'd say 10% faster! I was surprised that PocketGBA was so taxing! One advantage that PocketGBA had over FPSEce was that the roms are so much smaller. Anyhow, just thought I'd give you guy's a little more info on my findings.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] c0wb0ycliche:
I just found this (kind of slow, lol) but I was wondering how those running it were doing with performance?

I put it on my 8525 and downloaded the Spyro Demo (that was in the thread to download fpseCE) and it ran like... 13 fps. which is kind of unplayable.

Also, if I get a call/text/notification of any sort, or run it in anything other than portrait mode, I can't quit it and have to soft reset.

Any performance tips? Or any idea what my problem is with the buttons/options/inability to quit thing? lol

Thanks.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] brwnohno:
Hope this helps.

What version of fpsece are you using? I'm running the latest release of the emulator (fpsece 9.6). So, for starters get the latest release if you don't have it because I noticed ALOT more bugs in the older releases. Depending on how you map your buttons it should take care of if pulling up the other applications you mentioned. Me, I have my controls mapped to my keyboard and I run the emulator in landscape mode. Also, to assist in the speed issue, I run the emulator on a frameskip of 3 and that seems to work well for most games. Of course it's not going to play as good as it did on the PS1 but I think you will find alot of games to be more than playable. Just keep in mind that you are playing far superior games on your pocket pc with the PS1 games and it will need just a little patience to enjoy. Hope that helps!

Has anyone managed to get FFVII running nicely on this on a Hermes?

I get jerky sound and no FMV support, anyone managed to get it ok?

thanks, Forlornity
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] forlornity:
any answer?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] forlornity:
Well I've solved that problem now: bad rip, but I still have a problem in landscape mode: I can't exit without using soft resetting! Has anyone got a workaround for this?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] forlornity:
Nevermind, I've fixed that too, for those of you wondering: Just ensure that you assign a "menu" button before going into landscape mode and when you press that menu button, ensure your Hermes is closed (i.e. No keyboard visible)

NICE! how does Parasite EVE 2 run on this?

can it detect CD change?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] SeanFromSoCal:
I'm able to run Final Fantasy VII at nearly full speed on my WM6 Wizard. Of course I need to overclock a little so its smoother without any frame skip. I hate the frame skip on such a good game like FF7.

There are a couple glitches with the new 9.6 version but much better than the previous one I tried. Sometimes the Messenger and IE buttons instead of doing their PS equivalent it opens up messenger/IE. Also sometimes the title bar appears and it covers up the right side of the screen in landscape.

Has anyone able to tweak a little extra performance out of the emulator by glyph / font / file system tweaks? Or by increasing those buffers does it slow down the game because of the lesser amount of available RAM?

"Oh you got the iPhone ...whoopdie freakin do ...can it play PLAYSTATION games like mine can??? I don't think so... puahhhahahahhaa"

Anyone try to run Castlevania: Symphony of the Night? If so, does it stand up to playing it on the PS1 at all? If it does, I'd like to know, as this game would definately be my reason to download the emulator!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] jza802k:
problem with emulator

the emulator goes back to the starting menu screen when I try to load an iso. I have set the bios and mapped the buttons to the keyboard. I also turned the screen to landscape and turned framskip on. Does anyone else have this problem? Is this a bad rip or another problem? The iso I used works perfectly on my playstation.

The emulator would actually go to the about screen after I try to load an iso.

Can someone post exactly how they installed this onto their Hermes? I want to find out what I'm doing wrong!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] st3v3:
Ive run this on the hermes and magician and both had the same problem with the button layouts. The games will run ok once you set them up but the controls are in wierd places so gameplay is hard if not impossible especially on some of the faster moving games.

And as for buttons on the screen, that would work great if it was multi point touch.

I have to install disable proximity sensor module to be able to turn screen on and off while in a call. I never had a issue with it until I flashed lollipop and now no matter what I do its a no go...

[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Screensaver.tv:
Hi all,

So, I have been going back and forth and back again between the Nexus 6, the Note 4 and the soon to be released S6. My hands are not large (feet are 11's tho ;) and I do find that the Note 4 is probably pushing the one-handed operation boundry for my hand size. I have all but ruled out the N6 as a result and that leaves the Note 4 (half off right now) or the S6 (released months away) so, this is what I have observed with countless demos and plays at stores and a friend's Note 4...

I can't type one-handed! BUT because of something very specific, my palm is accidentally touching the enter key in the lower right corner when I type. Over and over I get line breaks during typing. I cannot stand the samsung keyboard, tried swift key and google keyboard as well. It appears to be the way I must hold the Note 4 due to it's size, my palm just over laps uncontrollably. No matter how hard I try I cannot seem to prevent this action lol

I know the answer, buy a smaller phone unless you Note Masters have any other suggestion!

Thx,

riz

[Shield Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jaredmorgs:
My apologies, I think I'm missing a few key points from your post (I know English isn't your first language).

Q1: Have you already purchased a Shield Tablet?

Q2: Do you have a fast and reliable internet service?

Grid needs a fast and stable connection.

VPN services should let you connect, however the game experience will most likely be poor because you would need to go through your countries' submarine cable connection to the US servers.

This service really is for domestic US customers only.

My truck has an iPod cable hidden in the center console but I've not used it since my iPhone 3GS. I'm wondering if a device exist that I could plug into that cable to accept incoming Bluetooth audio from my Nexus.

I want something to act like an iPhone (but work) to stream music via Bluetooth from my Nexus 5 but the stereo receiver sees it as an iPod/iPhone.

Bluetooth options that plug into the front AUX port and have to be charged are not what I am looking for. Too messing.

Hi,

So my sister came to me day complaining that her battery goes flat real quick in her tablet. I explained that if she didnt take care of the battery it will get worse (well faster than normal) but this is only a 3-4 months old samsung tab4 10.1

that's a typical usage pattern . So am I right that this constant charging is what is killing the battery?

[LG Optimus G (International)] xdadevr:
Hi ClarkOwen, would you care to share what happened and how to solve it? My Optimus G won't boot with red flashing led.
[LG Optimus G (International)] ClarkOwen:
What rom are you using?

I tried to boot into safemode by turning on with power button + volume down button and holding it till it boot up then I uninstalled framework and gravity box as i think they are preventing my phone to boot up and then I rebooted my phone and it worked :D

What exactly did you do with your phone? What caused it not to boot up anymore?
[LG Optimus G (International)] ClarkOwen:
There are senarios where you do get to restoer your phone using kdz but then it still wont boot up with red led blinking which basically means the battery needs to be hardware reset - taken out of the phone which would require you to open up your phone which is difficult. Thats why I need to know first what happened which prevents your phone to boot up.

:D
[LG Optimus G (International)] xdadevr:
Thanks for your reply. I run stock ROM and was preparing for flashing with CM11. I installed ROM Manager and updated my clockmodwork recovery. Then I boot to recovery when this disaster began. The phone just wont boot.

I followed the instruction found in this forum to unbrick using kdz updater and LGNPST and yes I needed to disconnect the battery first. Open up the battery cover was difficult but I managed to to it. After numerous attempts I managed to complete the step for both kdz updater and LGNPST but that still wouldn't boot the phone. Not even into recovery. I could get to the download mode though.

The last successful attempt with KDZ updater (successful means completed steps) has caused my phone totally dead. Now it won't respond in anyway. No flashing led, nothing. I suspect the battery could be dead.

Is it true that we can't charge the battery when the phone is (soft)-bricked?

Anyone knows how to charge LG Optimus G battery in the case of emergency? Ie. not through the phone? I read post about charging using stripped-out USB cable but I don't know where is the +/- of the battery.

I'm having an awful time getting my MMS settings to work in WM6. I've followed all the documentation on Cingular's site and I'm 99% sure I have everything correct.

I get a message saying that it needs to disconnect from my current connection to send/receive mms messages and asks if it wants to proceed. This is bad because I must recieve MMS messages no matter what, like I used to be able to in WM5, to get pages from work.

Not to mention, even if I answer Yes, the messages don't seem to come through. It's also random, I can get MMS messages, just not all the time. So the settings seem to be right. =(

Sorry if i have posted in the wrong area.

I have

Device: Samsung-SGH-i957

Android: 4.0.4

Kernel version 3.0.8-1167230

I used Odin 1.83 (I believe cant remember the exact version but those of you familiar with the process will know immediately what i used) to try and root my device. Now goggled several different tutorials on how to do this. Downloaded all the Samsung device drivers. Odin and Kernel and went step by step. Now according to all the tutorials and my experience. I was successful in rooting the device. Everything works as instructed. BUT after installing Superuser, Root Checker, and Terminal Emulator, then trying to change boot screen animations, my device and above said applications have informed me that I do NOT in fact have a rooted device or permissions to access any of the root folders. Now I am all about full customization of my device. In fact that is the real reason I am trying to root it i just want to be able to do what i want on it. Ithe Samsung-SGH-i957 is a little old but I believe it is a good place to start to learn about rooted andorid device and how to work them. I believe the direction I really want to be taking is to just install a custom ROM from scratch there for not even having to worry about trying to root it. If this is indeed the direction those of you out there believe i should take i would appriciate feed back. If not and just rooting what i have is the best approach to full customization let me know. Either way I am good at following directions. Now finding good ones or perhaps googling the right key words to find good directions I am not so good at. So please suggestion on end game actions and pointers to good instructions.
