Hi!

Tried to play Super Mario Bros (NES), but the problem is that I need to use three buttons at the same time: right arrow, the high-speed running button as well as the jump button. This is a must to jump long, but I can not get it to work. Is it only supporting two button touches simultaniously?

Also tried Super Mario Cart (SNes), but there I could not turn when using the throttle, so when I hit a wall I was stuck (not possible to use the reverse gear).

Is there a way around this?

Hi all, first post and have only just got my HD2. I have downloaded the Cab files for morphgear and installed with no problem however when ever i try to start the snes9x or ines files etc. I get a message saying not enough memory.

Is there any way to solve this?

+1 :confused:
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] MarkyMark8609:
You need to install the correct modules from the Morphgear site I think, that's how I solved that issue with my Gameboy ROMs

Is there anyway I can import save files from Visual Boy Advance? I've looked through the directories but there doesn't seem to be one for saved games, how does Morphgear save games?

I've got .sgm files for some games that I'd like to use if it's possible?

EDIT - btw forgot to say what an awesome little program this is, if I can import the saves it would be perfect :D
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] xZdenis:
Saves are saved by default to the my documents/saved game files. You can change it in settings..

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] futureshock:
quite nice!!

but any change to get some on screen buttons?? and have the games in "fullscreen" ???

i've just played a bit around with skins.. but the gamescreen always overlays the controls...

playing without seeing the buttons isn quite funny... even if you know where they should be...
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] jesusrcm:
HTC HD2 Skin Wide

You need to configure the screen with 150%.

Hit the options of the module, and select Screen Size 150%

And in the global Settings set Orientation = East.

See the Readme.txt included in the zip file.

Good LK ;-)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] futureshock:
i had done this...

i didn't mean onscreen like this...

more than like with fpsece emu on WM..

look this screenshot:

the controls overlays the gamescreen...

HTC HD2 Skin

MorphGear don't support overlayed Alpha images i think.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] AllyKat:
I personally have found MorphGear is too bulky. Unfortunately, I do not know how to code well enough to make an update to some of the older emulators. For example: GNU GameBoy CE is absolutely the best emulator for GameBoy & GameBoy Color roms out there. The code is light and was designed to run with sound and minimal frame skip on Windows CE devices from 2005 and earlier. On my Samsung Omnia 2 they run like a dream.

I am not sure if this is the best place to post this but if anyone like Blutz can take a look at my request: Request to update some of the older Windows CE emulators I would greatly appreciate it.

The truth is that these all-in-one emulators have to load and waste unnecessary processing power switching between consoles and is often the primary reason for sound playback concerns. :(
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Hyweljh:
Hi, there, thanks for this epic looking skin but unfortunalty I cant get it working, it keeps comming up with the normal image on the top half and the colour keys on the bottom half, will upload a picture if you want me to.

Do I set the gameboy module to this skin and change the background in the global setting to this aswell? or just one?

Cheers for any input

Update! Got it working, sorry I was so stupid!

And that skin is amazing! A*****

I do have an additional question, is there anyway we can set our own screen sizes for example 160% or 165% ect.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] smartgear7689:
So I'm guessing the morphgear site meant full screen, but you see the pad and the actual game isn't full screen?

I'm considering getting the verizon omnia 2 but the lack of dpad is the only thing holding me back because of gba. Looks like I might have to go with the motorola droid for it's keyboard? That's twice the price though. :(
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Hyweljh:
Right iv got it working perfectly with gameboy colour roms and stuff but none of the gameboy advanced games work, they Load up but only shows the first image and then sortuv crash, and sound just repeats over and over,

What settings are you guys using for GBA???

Update: For fire red and some other newer games you have to set the save type to 128k

Now can someone please explain how to do this on the GBA addon on morphgear?

Update2 : I settleed for leaf green as it works perfectly fine, but I have a problem with audio, its working in the background but there is a loud crackle "heartbeat" like noise thats over the top and makes it very hard to hear.

Any ideas?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] RussKingUK:
I'm sorry if this has already been covered but I am having issues with multitouch and couldn't see anything in what is now quite a large thread. I have downloaded the latest version of morphgear from this thread (V0.8) but I am unable to get past the first few obsticles on a platform game such as Mario because the virtual pad starts to behave strangly. Imagine i've made a little progress through a level using the right d-pad button and then hit 'a' to jump. Well, after that jump has registerd correctly, the right-d pad button will also register as a jump for a few presses until it sorts itself out. It's as if it is registering whatever my last button press was regardless of which button i'm pressing now. Does anybody have any ideas what is going on and how I can fix it?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] jasong13:
hi, i was just looking for some help .

i am able to set up morphgear but i cant set up the skins , so i am stuck with the default skin which is far to small to touch.

I have downloaded skins and put them into the skins folder but they dont appear in settings when i look for it.

has anybody else had this problem or know where I am going wrong :s

i mainly just want to play with a larger screen and multi-touch if possible?!

thanks
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] xZdenis:
You need to unpack the rar or zip file into the skins directory, so you have there a bmp and txt file. Then they should appear in the options menu..
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] jasong13:
i have tried this, but no skins are shown except the morphgear default skin. Also i cant change the orientation from north.

do you think this could just be my phone? or an installation problem.

I would like to see how this is done, do you know of any videos ?

thanks
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] acneman:
Has anybody been able to get a GBA savegame ported to another emulator? iv tried using both the save state and the raw save but unsuccessfully. i know the raw file is the best bet but its still very dissimilar to saves from other emulators. Ideally id like to be able to play my morphgear save on the visual boy
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Hyweljh:
I have also been trying this, and came across a forum with a guy who said he managed to port it to the "YAME" emulator, but for the life of me I cant find it! He also said that with the YAME emulator you could trade or battle if the game supports it!

Sorry if I got the name wrong for the emulator but that may be the reason I cant find it :confused:

The sound is not good by game boy advance games?

And what kind of roms work best? (gba, game boy colour, of...)

Is the new version from the website (morpgear website) beter?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] hoanzlmann:
Installed 0.8 works really great!

However, I have one problem which makes it almost impossible to play action games - when I don't tap very accurate the virtual d-pad buttons, it makes the last move again..

Is it possible to lock the screen around the d-pad?

any help welcome..

thanks
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] leeuwtjevanjuda:
Its working great ;) Physical buttons would be better though. ;)

I loaded some snes games, but Its not playing sound. Al the options are checked. Are the roms lacking sound or is it some setting?

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Crazy-Indo:
hey my multi-touch doesn't work.:(

i've tried it by super mario, bomberman & kirby but it doesn't work on 1 of them

can anybody help me ?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] ephestione:
Yes, I think I have the same problem, especially when trying hit-and.slash games where I'm supposed to use combos, I cannot press up+punch, for example, it doesn't have any effect.

As by signature, using a HD2
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] NLS:
did you guys soft reset?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Hojlind:
Okay guys since some people seem to have problems regarding menus and the multitouch i will just sum up how it work :)

The Menu/Settings:

When having to change the different options inside the settings menu you will find that its almost impossible to just use regular touch input.

Here is what to do (as said at least 20 times on the last 43 pages ;) ).

You will need to use the arrows on the standard HTC keyboard to navigate around the options. If you have to change skin for example, you will need to select the option, and then pull up the keyboard and use the arrows from there.

Multitouch:

Multitouch IS enabled in this custom version, thats the reason its custom ;)

Some might believe that it does not work and the reason is very simple. The reason is that the standard morphgear gamepad SUCKS at multitouch. If you want the full multitouch experience, you will need to find a custom gamepad (any will do, but for some reason some are better than other, if anyone knows why, please throw me a pm :) ).

Without being an arrogant idiot, I would just like to say that you might want to try out my gamepad collection, as they for some reason work well with multitouch :)

Pressing outside a button results in the last action being done again:

This is a bug inside morphgear (again if anyone have any idea about why please send me a pm as I would like to know myself :) ). Best thing to do is simply to find a gamepad with big buttons that are easy to hit. again you might want to take a look at my gamepad :D

Link to the gamepad and a (pretty) complete guide on how to install gamepads, can be found in my signature :)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] elgrego4:
I cant get anything to work, i installed, added a few roms, nothing starts it feels like its crashed and i cant understand why?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] ephestione:
No arrogant idiocy taken! :D

Your reply sheds useful light on the matter and as such is definitely appreciated.

Regarding settings navigation, I can manage touch changes with no problems on my hd2, but again i was not lamenting that so probably nothing to report there :p

Regarding multitouch... I am in fact already using your skin, which, even if not topnotch design (and I don't care about it) is the best for easy gaming experience, with its gloryfying big buttons (I use the portrait version).

I know there's a room in Chrono Trigger where you have to press up to 3 keys together to get the job done on a console, but it's too long to get there to test it, so anything you could suiggest me to check if I indeed have multitouch enabled?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] ephestione:
breath deeply, read some more, spelunk some more inside options/settings, try again at least more 10 times with different combinations, then if needed come back and describe the problem with the most details youn can include, otherwise noone will be able to reply you with useful things :p
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] postar19:
I have question about save games.

When i'm play on my Omnia it works perfectly, but can i play that save game on my desktop pc?

I tried play ih some other emulators, but MG save that file like a .save, and other emulators save like .sg1, .sav etc.

I also try MG for desktop windows, but i cant find module for GBA.

Help?

Compatibility?

Just wondered what extension roms do i need to play on this, as i thought it supported .GBA but it doesnt seem to?

doesn't matter i just installed the module, is htere a way to play .gba for free cos £15 is a rip off for software thats so complicated to use and to set, none of the settings would change the screen was miniscule and i couldnt change it, nor change it to landscape, for all the trouble you go through to get this to work, why not just get VBA for free and stick to tyour laptop, or spend £5 in a market on a GBA with pokemon???

please say this can be gotten for free
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Hojlind:
Design was in no way a priority for the pad as most people play fullscreen anyway ;) But you are of course free to mod it in any way you want :D

To test regular multitouch, which I guess you already did, you can just see if you are able to run and jump at the same time in any mario game. I believe what you want it to test for 3 point multitouch :) To do so, i believe that if you can touch 2 buttons at the same time, and get haptic feedback from both, and are able to press a button more and get haptic feedback from that one aswell, you have 3 point multitouch :) I've been playing around with it myself, and found that some buttons can be pressed 3 at a time, but that some buttons wont register if there is already 2 buttons pressed. whether this is caused by the pad, or a limitation in MorphGear i do not know. (again, if anyone has any idea whatsoever to what might be causing this, feel free to throw me a pm :D )

Saves:

Different emulators use different save files, but some allow you to choose which files you want to save the save file as (confused? ;) ). I do not know if MorphGear lets you do that, but I do not think it does so. The solution it seems, would be to find a emulator that supports the save files that MorphGear creates.

Games for MorphGear:

Games can be found all over the internet and are called ROM's. All you need to do is to google the platform + roms (fx SNES roms), and pick a site. A friendly reminder though: It is illegal to download ROM's of games that you do not own, unless stated otherwise by the company that produced the game. if you do not own the game, some countries allow you to download it for 24 hours before you have to delete the game (this is only in some countries though).

GBA module:

The GBA module legally costs £15. end of story. For that you get the ability to play all GBA games made (maybe with few exceptions). If you use just a few minutes of your time, you will find it to be simple (if you want to).

Small screen and no landscape:

Again this can easily be changed.

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] ephestione:
Yep, that works... but the harder test, I didn't perform, that is running in chrono trigger, where you need to keep direction and button pressed all the time.. and I don't have that rom on the device now.

Jumping in mario could still be possible because of "inertia" programmed in the rom, where running, leaving direction and immediately pressing jump, then repressing direction again would obtain the same effect of poressing jump while pressing run...

Testing three buttons press with haptic isn't probably very "definitive", as I think it would still vibrate even without multitouch, where the newly pressed buttons would cancel the other ones you're pressing and still give haptic feedback... anyway, no time to really "play" now, will need to check thoroughly some other time :D
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Hojlind:
Yeh I'll see if i can find some time for it too :P
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] noname81:
Hi,

"If you want the full multitouch experience, you will need to find a custom gamepad (any will do, but for some reason some are better than other, if anyone knows why, please throw me a pm )."

The touch values are auto aligned on x and y axis. You can test this behavior with the multitouch demos lying around here in the HD2 multitouch threads. So if you want do make a good working gamepad, you should that keep in mind...
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Hojlind:
Nice thanks a lot :D
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Crazy-Indo:
your gamepad is also not working with multitouch on my htc hd2 :(

should i do a soft reset ?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Hojlind:
Hmm why didn't you just try doing a soft reset instead of asking? It would only take like 1-2 minutes :) Its not like its a hard reset ;) But yeh try it and if that doesn't do the trick then try reinstalling morphgear (I suppose you did download the 0.8 version from this thread)

Also are you using the standard rom?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Crazy-Indo:
oh hahaha i forgot that the soft reset is easy to do. but it's still not working, reinstalling neither.

and yes, im using standard rom.

Does anyone know why the Lufia II Rom doesn't work? it won't go past the first image (the logo of Nintendo or Natsume)

wrong place to ask man - this is not a warez forum

tough luck
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Hojlind:
Just go here and you will be settled. They got all the modules for morphgear that you could wish for, and at the same time you acknowledge the hard work that the developers put into it :D

PS: As said this is not a warez forum... sometimes you have to pay to get whats good. <_<
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] ProjektFuze:
?? confusion...

so i'm gettin mixed reviews... can this or can it not run properly on the hd2?? everyone here is posting issues... so i'm a little confused... can someone please give me an answer? and i will pay for the full license.. but only if its working perfectly.. why would i shell out 20 bucks on something that is glitchy...
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] ephestione:
SNES support works well, and you don't need to buy the full version, just download the one in first post, plus hojlind's skin or the one modified by other members and based on his.

If you also want other platforms support, you'll need to buy additional modules.

And anyway, since morphgear is using snes9x as snes module, shoudln't be snes9x saves compatible with it?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] harv123:

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Hojlind:
There will alwaysv be a majority of people who have problems on a forum as the ones without any problems don't need to post about it ;)

The truth is... It works perfectly... at least on my HD2 which is running the official 1.66 ROM.

As said there is no need to buy it as there is a snes emulator included, and you can also download a few extra emulator modules for free, for example an emulator for the genesis.

@harv123

Yes this emulator is capable of playing GBA games, but you will need to buy a module from the official site :)

@elgrego

If you suspect that the gamepad is the reason for crashes, try to download another :) Mine for example :D
