oh snap it is out! bought it right away! lets see if we can get a list of games that work now
[Nexus One General] grainysand:
Can anyone please investigate whether Silent Hill works? If yes, I'm going to buy the emulator right this minute.
[Nexus One General] johnnie93:
i would like a PSX game list too!
[Nexus One General] Sistum Id:
Silent Hill? Of all games you want to replay Silent Hill? That game was too damn scary for me back than and I was maybe 16 or 17.

A friend of mine recently gave me his busted xbox 360 and it came with a few games as well as Silent Hill: Homecoming. I thought I could handle it now. Nope, I was wrong. I turned out all the lights and played on my 56in with 5.1 sound system in the living room. It was too damn scary for me again. I heard every little noise in front and behind me. 10 minutes into it I took it out and was done with that evil ass game.
[Nexus One General] g4m3rz:
that's the first game i tried .

and sadly, its hardly playable.. there is a white box that appears around the characters and sometimes they just disappear in the mist..

i'll upload a screencap and a list of games i have tried..

btw.. pm me if anyone has trouble finding a good site for the roms (although google still is your best friend for that )

edit: Screencaps added.

well, now that i tried it again.. the game isn't too unplayable.. I'll try finding a ripped rom.. maybe that works better.
[Nexus One General] t0mmy:
Can someone see if metal gear solid works?

Sent from my Nexus One
[Nexus One General] xXJay_RXx:
ugh guys i ran into an issue i forgot about. if youre using the on screen keyboard, the nexus one multitouch screen is the issue. i was playing RE1 and i forgot that i had to hold the R+L button to use the weapon n sadly, we cant do that on our devices :(

**EDIT: FF7 seems to work fine. FF8 works fine except for the video at the very beginning of the game. i will test out MG Solid later on in the day**
[Nexus One General] g4m3rz:
I tried MG solid.. the game loads but i cant get past the menu screen..
[Nexus One General] CFORDv:
just downloaded and i would love a list as well. i'm just searching for the bios
[Nexus One General] rtx101:
Tried Tekken3, the game runs without any error but the fps is crap, somewhere about 13fps. Im on N1.
[Nexus One General] xXJay_RXx:
ah i was just about to try it. good thing im not now lol i tried mortal kombat trilogy n its a no go. gets stuck on the screen that says Mortal Kombat Trilogy and the dragon logo
[Nexus One General] grainysand:
Hahaha, that's the point. The sound of static was never the same afterward. I love love love this series (at least, up to SH3). It's probably going to be a lot less scary on a 3.7 in screen anyway. :)

Oh. :( Well, at least it loads and runs. Weird glitch, though.
[Nexus One General] xXJay_RXx:
DONT JUDGE ME!!!!......but Rugrats Search for Reptar works fine ;) lol i was searching through roms and i saw this and loved it as a child so i wanted to give it a try for the hell of it n it brought back a lot of memories :D
[Nexus One General] mcp2009:
Downloaded Tomba to try. Graphics were glitchy and it ran extremely slow. Gonna search for some more ROMs
[Nexus One General] Jrbourque:
Where did you get a working copy of tekken? Ive tried so many different ones that the emulator wont read....and also someone mentioned resident evil i would love to try and get that one as well.....If you dont want to post link pm me please

also if anyone has a link for how its possible to rip ps1 games, i will have a HUGE list
[Nexus One General] xXJay_RXx:
RE runs good but the multitouch screen issue is a problem. if youre using a bluetooth control then it should work fine
[Nexus One General] Jrbourque:
Where did you get RE from tho? and what is everyone setting their fps to? default or something else?
[Nexus One General] Jrbourque:
I just found a guide on how to rip from original cds....going to test it when i get home from work today
[Nexus One General] EErez:
Need for speed: Porsche unleashed works well.

has anyone tried crash bandicoot?
[Nexus One General] CFORDv:
has anyone tried crash bash or pandemonium they were my fave psx games
[Nexus One General] johnnie93:
Pepsi man was awesome!
[Nexus One General] devious338:
crash 3 works fine just a small frame rate issue
[Nexus One General] Jrbourque:
crash bash works but its a little slow ...the copy that i had
[Nexus One General] xsnipuhx:
I bought the app, but it gets stuck at Authorizing payment...any quick fix?
[Nexus One General] EErez:
Crash bandicoot 1 confirmed working pretty much full speed. i missed this game!
[Nexus One General] UNICORN025:
I read that bandicoot was working in another theard seem like third person shooter are not working.
[Nexus One General] ROBIN50N:
to the people having problems with resident evil controls, have you gone into settings for virtual keypad and enabled multitouch?
[Nexus One General] ndiguy5:
XCOM works almost perfect
[Nexus One General] SeEsAw12:
Just ordered my 3200 mAh extended battery and it's apps like these that make me happy I did.. ;)

I hope I don't get a faulty battery :(
[Nexus One General] Dai323:
I would post a link to the bios and to a great ROM site, but I think I would get in trouble. Google is your friend guys!
[Nexus One General] DenZj:
I tried tony hawk skateboarding on my nexus, But not everything is rendered well (white half pipes and some of the floor). I had no issues with multitouch :) by trying a 360 melon.
[Nexus One General] guyver2077:
Mortal Kombat trilogy get stuck before the menu screen appears.

Marvel vs Capcom 1 works but gameplay is pretty laggy.

WWF Smackdown 1 works. Extremely laggy.

What formats does the emu read for the isos? .iso, .bin? what else?

So far all my games have been running pretty meh. If you own the games, use IMGBURn to rip to ISO or BIN. Works pretty quickly too.

Evo4g
[Nexus One General] UNICORN025:
it also reads .pbp
[Nexus One General] Dai323:
If you guys need the link to the BIOS and a ROM site, PM me :)

[Nexus One General] Goonish:
I just bought this and ripped a few roms.

Every single game either freezes straight after the menu or 5 seconds into the game.

I've tried;

Destruction Derby 1 & 2 a few different BIOS and rips

Metal gear solid

Grand tursimo

Not a great start hopefully this program improves, honestly the devs shouldn't be asking for money for this just yet. Especially since most of the coding is just a straight linux port.
[Nexus One General] erikiksaz:
Just curious, for those of you who are having trouble, have you tried using another bios?
[Nexus One General] seanhassars:
RE3:Nemisis seems to be working, although the audio skips a little.
[Nexus One General] Goonish:
I've tried 11 different BIOS trying to get Destruction Derby 2 working to no avail.

Will try a bunch more roms when I get near a PC, I'm not going to hold my breath though.. I'm definitely not impressed by the compatibility.
[Nexus One General] phazey12:
Anyone get to the world map on FF8? It becomes unplayable for me. Dunno if its just my copy.

Have my CPU set to 1113mhz, on latest rodriguez rom, with wildmonk oc/uv kernel.

The FF8 file that I'm running is a .bin
[Nexus One General] xXJay_RXx:
hey any of u guys know which kernel i can use to enchance game play? i know there was a kernel for this. i dont care about battery life cuz i got 2 spare batteries. im running the latest Enomther rom. thanks
[Nexus One General] xXJay_RXx:
wheres that at? i only see multibutton, no multitouch

**EDIT: i think the multibutton is the multitouch. ill have to test it out**
[Nexus One General] xXJay_RXx:
also whats the FPS rate you guys have on your N1s?
[Nexus One General] willverduzco:
You should remove Tekken 3 from the list of working games, or at least put a caveat that it's unplayable because of how slow it is.
[Nexus One General] Zephyron:
anyone tried metal slug?
[Nexus One General] rtx101:
I have a ripped Tekken3 iso file, its size is only 43MB. I think it's playable if you oc your n1. I will post a link for you to download later.
[Nexus One General] amd_203:
Resident Evil 2, Claire and Leon.iso - Both work perfectly fine, some moments it may get a little slow, that everything seems to be going in slow motion but most times it runs smooth.

Gran Turismo.iso - Works but it seems to be buggy, my cars won't accelerate when I hold down X, it goes between 1st gear and reverse so I get no where, still looking into it.

Tomba! 2.img - Works but very slow, playable but slow.

Parasite Eve Disc 1&2.iso - Works perfect.

Resident Evil.iso - Didn't work for me, just stood on a black screen.

Einhander.bin - Works perfect

Final Fantasy VIII Disc 1-4.iso- Works almost perfect, except battles seem just a little slow, nothing noticeably bad. Where you'll have trouble is the world map where is just seems like it froze on you but in fact it's going like 1-5fps so you'll be struggling to get to places, but I'm fine dealing with that.

Phone - Nexus One 2.2 FRF91 with 2.6.34 Cyanogenmod kernel and 1.1ghz over clock but clocked at 1.075ghz

Bios - SCPH1001.bin
[Nexus One General] Travladin:
We shold creat a dropbox and share Roms

This would be a better solution.. Post your working roms.. Converted roms only!!
[Nexus One General] UNICORN025:
change tekken 3 to buggy rom,
[Nexus One General] amd_203:
Tekken 3.iso - Works but extremely slow, I still could play just seemed like everything was in slow motion.

Silent Hill.bin - Works.

Final Fantasy IX.bin - Works.

Final Fantasy VII.bin - Works.
[Nexus One General] Dan2552:
Final Fantasy 9 (IX)

Playable with sound bugs up until you get the cargo airship, it simply crashes during the video sequence at that point
[Nexus One General] erikiksaz:
I'm not sure about kernels, but so far I've tried this on 3 roms and there has been a difference in performance in Crash bandicoot on all three.

Geohom's stock rooted froyo > kingklick's beta2 Sense > CM6 RC2

Crash bandicoot is only a little choppy on geohom's rom, and it's slightly choppier on kingklick's, but it's nearly borderline unplayable on cm6.
[Nexus One General] Dan2552:
by the way guys, Zod (the developer of psx4droid) has a wiki perfect for making a list of compatible games. Here's the iphone version.
[Nexus One General] Goonish:
Ok,

Add to my previous post I've had some success;

Working roms;

Metal of honor

R type Delta

Command and conquer red alert

Resident evil 1 dual shock edition

All working flawlessly :)

Didn't work;

Twisted metal 4 didn't work.
[Nexus One General] UNICORN025:
when i play resident evil i have to hold the R button while shooting with the X botton it works fine.

go to setting and change it to multibotton. that should solve your problem
[Nexus One General] nDrg:
Dino Crisis visually works perfectly but has some audio stutters.

EDIT: Same for Driver as well.
[Nexus One General] coldchillen:
may i suggest that the region (NTSC,NTSC/J, PAL) type, custom rom type and phone be included with the submitted psx games?

castlevania: sotn --- kinda slow motion, but playable

ntsc north america

ridge racer --- works well, no music

ntsc north america

both on enoms 2.10.2
[Nexus One General] B6gSix:
well aside from breaking rules does anyone have a hint of were to get these " working items ". i heard one guy say lets do a dropbox but didnt see nothing. anyone????
[Nexus One General] Goonish:
I've found full .bin files to work mostly. Haven't found a rom with parts removed that actually works, which is a bit of shame.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thorpe24:
Just did some reading on the Droid x and saw that the messafing app has a universal inbox for txt Facebook twitter etc. Any chance of porting this to the evolution.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] pappadj:
I just need to start off by saying you guys are awesome! I'm actually enjoying my phone for the first time since I got it the first week it came out. Keep up the awesome work!

Main concern is that when the screen times out in either my Froyo or Eclair Roms, I cannot get it to wake up. Anything I press will initiate the back-light and nothing more. I've pressed several times using each button and nada, I have to pull the battery. All issues occurred prior to installing the latest zImage, running the task29 and formatting my sdcard.

Additionally, I've noticed the Camera Flash doesn't work in either Rom and no picture is shown in the Froyo build. Other then that, I have found no issues. Mild delays but that's probably attributed to the Class 2 card and early Android builds. No real concern here. None of these issues occur in the Windows Mobile environment.

So I pretty much put everything I am using in my signature. I have the Froyo build in \Android and the Desire files are all in the root of the SD. I have task 29 the system and used Panasonic's SDFormatter v2.0 to wipe the SD. I have nothing installed but exactly what I have listed in the signature. I haven't even copied over the Transformers movies. My issues are consistent even if I haven't set up any account information or anything. I'm not complaining and I've read some others express similar issues but haven't figured out an answer. So that's about it. If I find any answers to my few issues, I'll post here. And again, I'm freakin excited for the development of the Android Roms and NRG's WinMo Rom has never let me down. I just prefer Android but like having both options. Thanks for all the help and if there's nothing that can be done right now, well again, I'm not complaining... Stay at it Chefs, you guys are awesome!
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] pappadj:
OK I didn't think to try a different zimage but I used the July23rd one and my screen timeout issue is fixed. Now to resolve the no camera issue in my Froyo Rom and I'm set. The other issues are fairly minor and will likely get worked out in time.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] ananthb:
Does your zImage charge the phone, too? I'm facing the same problem, sometimes the screen doesn't come on and at other times it's unresponsive even if it does.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] tgerbracht:
Look around, the newest zimage causes this for some ppl. Chill for a new zimage release.
[General Questions and Answers] junior007:
Hello.

I have this device for more than two years and after changing sim card it wont boot. It was stuck at Windows Mobile boot picture which after waiting went black. After allot of rebooting (including clean reboot) sometimes it started up but was slowed down like snail. I was able to update it from OS-v1.00.03 to OS-v1.01.04 and from FW-v0.81 to FW-v0.88.

After that it boot up more often but is still awfully slow. Now I was trying to find update to wm6.5 hoping this would help but with no success (factory recovery didn't work either).

I am out of ideas what to do to get it running back again. Can someone give me directions what to do (if this is even possible to fix)?

Edit01:

I have been able to upgrade to "23562 Beta 37 by kioeved". After upgrading, first boot stopped at Windows boot screen. After few rebooting system started (slowed down) barely. I am getting feeling that this is hardware problem but I don’t know how to determine that.
[General Questions and Answers] junior007:
PROBLEM SOLVED!!!

I take it to service and they send it to HP. After a month I received new device free of charge. I have upgraded to wm6.5 nad it looks good.
[Vibrant General] atvman29:
I've had my Vibrant since launch day and coming from the G1, I'm absolutely blown away.

I do have on gripe though and that's with Google Maps.

At first, like many, I have/had GPS problems (poor/slow/no connectivity) which was seemingly somewhat corrected by the fix in this forum (thanks!).

I'm still having another problem though. About 1 out of every three times I open google maps, the phone begins to locate via GPS then freezes (zero functionality). A few seconds later the screen is black with the soft keys lit up. I've had this happen upwards of 20-30 times now. Holding the power button to kill the phone is necessary. The reason it seems like Google maps is not other GPS app has done this.

Today, using navigation, it was working good, until I lost GPS signal (due to river bluffs), and Maps never re-acquired the GPS signal, although a quick check using GPS status revealed a full lock. I had to close (task manager style) maps and re-do the navigation. Then it worked fine again until all of a sudden it locked like usual and completely froze. Hard re-boot, reopen maps, froze, hard re-boot, reopen maps, froze....and this happened 4 times before I was finally able to get in and kill the navigation request. Of course by this time I had missed my turn by about 2 miles. :mad:

I also thought it was latitude (before today's incident), since I had never used latitude on my G1; but the girlfriend got a Vibrant (her first smart phone) so we tried out latitude for kicks. But after trying it with Latitude on and off, there doesn't seem to be any ties as if will freeze both ways.

I've also tried uninstalling and reinstalling the Google Maps updates three times now with no changes.

Talking with a guy at the T-Mo store today was no help, other than he said a fix was coming within days to correct the GPS connectivity issue. For my problem though, which the phone faithfully recreated in-store to him (much to my pleasure) he recommended a new phone.

I'm not too crazy about getting a new device or doing a master reset (since I've heard this has helped some folks), so I thought I would ask for any suggestions from this fine community.

Any help or ideas would be appreciated.

EDIT: Just enabled SkyHook out of curiosity, and I haven't been able to replicate this problem yet since doing so. Even doing an immediate operation upon opening Maps its ok. Inside house got a 10m lock withing 15-20 seconds every time. I'll keep trying it some more tomorrow.
[Vibrant General] timafey:
I have the same exact problem and it just recently started... want to see if anyone else has a fix or an idea.
[Vibrant General] atvman29:
Same exact problem? Frozen with black screen shortly after opening?
[Vibrant General] heygrl:
Have you both tried a reset? This is due to the GPS because the phone will get overwhelmed when it can't get a GPS lock.
[Vibrant General] splat matt:
I have noticed when my wifi is on I cannot receive a gps lock. Once I turn off wifi the gps is functional and will lock quickly; ~10 secs. I still may only lock 2-3 satellites indoors and accuracy is about 20'.

Also I am using the stock GPS settings.
[Vibrant General] lqaddict:
I had the issue with google maps and gps when turning gps on will freeze the phone and if it happened that the phone screen is locked you are sol.haven't had the issue since the reset though.
[Vibrant General] Keslynn:
I had this problem as well. Maps and sometimes Navigation would lock up my phone entirely, just as you described. I did a Factory Reset and that fixed the freezing problem, but my GPS problem was still there. I finally did an exchange and the new phone seems to be working better. I'm crossing my fingers that it will remain that way.
[Vibrant General] dcam1075:
Same exact problem here. It happens with and without the GPS fix applied. I think the only solution is to wait and hope Samsung addresses the bigger GPS issue as I am sure it is all related.
[Vibrant General] Jon C:
I have the exact same issues with my phone locking up.

I'm going to do a master reset when I get home from work. If that doesn't work, I'm going to exchange the device at T-Mobile (and hopefully extend my 14-day period, while we wait for the firmware fix).

I love this phone, but if these problems can't be fixed, I'll go back to the stone age. :(

I'll report back with the master reset / phone swap success rate on my end.
[Vibrant General] coolguy949:
Ditto here. Happened to me last night.
[Vibrant General] johndoe411:
+1 here. Although I never had a problem with Google Maps/Navigation. It's My Tracks that caused the phone to lock up when recording a track.
[Vibrant General] dalepa:
I have the same issue with "use wireless networks" enable. And wifi turned on... Something wrong with gps and wireless... I have applied the fix...

Now with wireless off I still have an issue:

Gps Test is taking 20-30 seconds when GPS has not been used in awhile. After the first lock, it then only takes 2-5 seconds for a lock.

So what's going with then initial lock?
[Vibrant General] timafey:
yeah, the screen turns black and cant do anything... So Factory reset seems to fix the problem? is that the general consensus?
[Vibrant General] dcam1075:
I have the same issue after doing a factory data reset. Just fyi.
[Vibrant General] DonutYankee:
Same here. Even after factory reset, it still does the black-screen crashing act. It's quite annoying. Actually, that happened to me while typing a text message. Samsung messed up royally. The software on this phone is pure trash. I really like this phone, but the issues are just pathetic.
[Vibrant General] Etrnaly:
I'm having the same problem on my Vibrant. It has happened before and after a factory reset, before and after the GPS fix. Without the GPS fix, I couldn't even lock onto a satellite. After running Google Maps for a few minutes, the screen goes completely blank. Sometimes, it would reset itself. Sometimes, I would have to hold the power button for a few seconds to get it to reboot. Hope they fix this soon. This makes the GPS completely useless for this phone.
[Vibrant General] Schnazzy:
I haven't tried the factory reset, but for everything else mention my vibrant has acted the same exact way.
[Vibrant General] kugeln:
I've had the same issue on both the pre-release ROM and the shipped ROM. As others have said, it seems to cause problems with all of the Google Maps-based apps (Navigation, Maps, and My Tracks). You loose signal and next thing you know, black screen with the buttons lit up.

I'm waiting for an opportunity to test it with Maverick and Trimble Outdoors to see if it's just a Google-app problem or not.

Also, a master reset (aka wipe) didn't influence it one bit. About the only thing I didn't try was removing the bundled-in maps apk and replacing it with a market one.
[Vibrant General] XfooYen:
Report these issues!

+1 Just wanted to add that everyone should report this issue (and ALL others ie. compass, GPS, dropped calls) to T-Mobile and most importantly, Samsung. I am now on hold with Samsung level 3 tech support to update my issues with the phone. The more they hear from us, the more likely they are to come out with proper fixes in a timely fashion. If these issues stay on the forums and nowhere else, we're SOL. Do it now!

UPDATE: Eric, a L3 techie, was very appreciative of the info I gave him regarding the inaccurate GPS, GPS crashing, and compass issues. He did state that these were becoming common complaints. The compass issue was said to be less popular but he was able to reproduce the inaccuracies I and many others have, so that's a good thing. He did not have any info regarding a coming fix on anything. Regarding dropped calls (which could be a radio problem) he said, as I assumed, that it is probably a service issue that T-Mo should be notified of.
[Vibrant General] heygrl:
I and most others have no problems with dropped calls but the only time I get that dreaded screen is when I mess with lbstestmode

Sent from my SGH-T959
[Vibrant General] jonathan75:
One thing I don't understand is in the GPS test program indoors I will get 11-12 satellites in view but will not lock on to any. But if it does lock on it will lock on to one that has the worst SNR usually 0. What gives? Because at the same time my Accuracy in feet is around 30 feet. If I am not locked on to any satellites how is it my accuracy is so good?
[Vibrant General] XfooYen:
If you have Wi-fi turned on, that will automatically give you accuracy at ~30ft.
