[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] biggary:
hello, im using elelinuxes superb rom, one question though, when you go to htc ime settings, it gives you chance to change from qwerty keyboard, to phone keyboard or compact qwerty, i prefer phone keyboard, as I got big fingers, but after changing option to phone keyboard, it still shows normal keyboard, it seems to do this on all froyo roms, can anyone help me to change? what am I doing wrong?
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 87Vortex87:
The black keyboard is not the HTC _ IME one. Long press on the text box to change to the HTC one and not the stock keyboard.
[G Tablet General] urbanrunner:
I am not really sure if there is a good answer for this question, but i figured i would post it here. Remember i am a NOOB to the forum!

I recently saw the Nexus S quadrant score of well over 3000 with a single core 1ghz processor.

The Viewsonic GTab has the new dual core Nvidia chipset and only reaches around 2500.

Is this a hardware limitation or software limitation. I know there are two different android versions on each of these?
[G Tablet General] muerteman:
I remember reading somehwere, and I may be way off, that Quadrant is a single-core benchmark and thus it only utilizes one core, but again I may be totally wrong.
[G Tablet General] urbanrunner:
I understand that it only tests on core, and that this program isn't always 100% exact, but if it very surprising that this phone 1ghz processor is that quick, as opposed to Nvidia's chip. I guess there are some unknown variable between the two that could mean the difference. phone vs. tablet, gingerbread vs. froyo, viewsonic UI vs. android's, as well as Gtabs custom roms are getting better by the week! Hopefully within a few months we will see gingerbread or honeycomb so that we can actually utilize both cores!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] acme64:
I just rooted my friends evo, same hardware as my own, but there's all kinds of issues.

First, volume up + power doesn't boot into recovery like mine, It vibrates 3 times and that's it. You need to pull the battery and use volume down to get it to boot. If you use quickboot from within android, then it can reboot into recovery and everything seems to work normally.

Second, I loaded the Sprint lovers rom but now the phone doesn't answer every other call. For example, first call you can't hear me, second you can, third you can't etc...

Whats going on? I have a feeling it has to do with the different recovery version then i have on my own evo. I used the "z4root" method i found on here for his, for my own android I used that old flash based browser hack.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] acme64:
Also It just occurred to me, I think I deleted the wimax backup I made. Is that really essential? I never had to do that with my own evo
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] acme64:
Could really use some help. If I flash with the ru, will that erase s-off?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k2buckley:
First of all, let me say I'm not familiar with the z4root method. I have followed the unrevoked methods, and also Zikronix's thread on hboot s off.

Also, there's not really any way to help you without more info. You said he has the same hardware of you, but never specified what hardware you have. We need to know the hardware version, software version that the phone was shipped with, radio versions would be nice. Way too much left out. All of that matters for various troubleshooting reasons. What recovery are you using? Clockwork or Amon RA? What bootloader version is it? Oh yea, to get to the bootloader, hold volume down, not up. So vol+down+power button. That is how it has always worked for me. When you get to the bootloader, record the version number, radio(baseband) version, and if you are s-on or s-off. Report back wth all of that, then we'll have a direction to look in.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] t3project:
do this to solve your problem

1. download this file

2. place it on the root of your sdcard

3. rename it to PC36IMG.zip

4. reboot into bootloader

5. when it loads choose yes to flash the pc36img.zip

6. reboot into rom and delete the pc36img.zip

7. power off your phone

8. reboot into bootloader, select recovery from the menu.

this should fix your recovery problem as for the other, i suggest flashing a different rom afterwards
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sekigah84:
Or you can flash another recovery. Use the latest Amon RA Recovery.

As for your ROM issues, did you wipe data/cache/dalvik? If you did you might want to try doing it about 3 times. The recoveries are not wiping cache, dalvik and data properly until you do it a few times. Also the latest Amon Ra fixes that I believe
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] t3project:
That is another recovery in pc36img.zip format. Specifically amon_ra 2.1.1
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xHausx:
Just a word of advice, never use vol up & power to turn on your phone. That will put it in diag mode if your nand is unlocked and that is something you really don't want to do.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chogardjr:
LOL!!! Sometimes its good to know what your doing specially before messing with a friends phone.

Name: NES Emulator for Windows Phone 7

Instructions for loading rom files:

1) Sideload the app to the phone by dev tools or some other means

2) The app appears in the xbox live tab among with other games.

3) Roms are added by typing in an direct http url (ie. http://www.myhomepages.com/roms/somegame.nes) and clicking download, if all goes well the rom appears on the main listbox.

3.5) Zip files are not supported. Get that Rom directly somehow

4) select rom and click play

Gaming mode application buttons are pause/play, save, load and sounds on/off

Most of the nes roms should work.

Source: Me.

Download Link: http://www.cs.uta.fi/~tp79800/nes/Emu120.xap

update: updated xap url, but still same old emulator

Page is offline :(
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] Sacer:
i didn't get this. how does this emulator work?

if i sideload it, no app appears in my list. if i type in your site in the mobile IE theres just a big button with "download silverlight".

"tested" on HTC HD7
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] bellenic:
same for me. Is there anything in the XAP ?
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] Tuska:
App or the emulator should appear in the xbox live panel where other games are.
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] ycavan:
It's really slow on my LG Quantum. @ First I thought it did not work, but my zelda rom must be corrupt ( or unsupported here ). It played super mario bro's just fine, just slow & no sound at all.

I dl'd it to my laptop, chevron-unlock ( 'cause my phone locks every 5 minutes or so ), tom's xap install. Put in the url to my nes rom, hit download, hit play & it plays.

Note: can ONLY be played in portrait mode. In landscape mode, the controller takes up half the screen, so you don't see much of the game screen.

recommendation: allow users to map buttons to controls in-game. ie, my Quantum has a nice slide-out keyboard so I wouldn't need the dodgy on-screen controller.
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] Tuska:
Damn that it's slow.

First priority should be to increase framerate to playable rate. Then the UI improvements.

Sounds are enabled by pressing the gearwheel button.
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] poy41:
confused:

"Type in url to some .nes file of your choosing and click middle button (download)"

anyone elaborate on this?
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] Prophecy650:
i would also like to know how to do this
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] Tuska:
You need to get .nes files to your device somehow.

Currently only implemented way is to download it to the device by typing in a direct link to a rom file ie. http://www.myhomepages.com/upload/mario.nes (imaginary link)

Upload your rom files to your own homepages or find some files online and use those links.
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] poy41:
thats what i figgered i had to do. but still cant get it to go. keeps bringing up a error when i try to load the .nes...

edit: found out i can download the file if i rename it to 'rom.nes' (AKA case sensitive) but still gives a error when trying to play it.

edit edit: tried 5 diff. roms. all come back as "ROM was not valid"
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] jojo0821:
I run it at my focus

1. Slow! just 40% NES Speed

2. No Multitouch control
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] Tuska:
I added some ARM specific tweaks, let's see if that helps..

What's the framerate now?
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] jojo0821:
Samsung Focus, don't press sound button

The Key of Solomon

18~20 framerate

FF3

18~24 framerate

Press sound button

The Key of Solomon

16~17 framerate

FF3

16~17 framerate

But press the sound button can't hear Sound.

I get "The remote server returned an error: NotFound" when i try to download a rom. Interestingly though it worked once after I turned my WIFI on, but the rom was not valid
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] vagabond1:
Is there a rubric or something to tell us which romsets work? I've tried GoodROMs that I've had on my PC for ages and have played countless times on countless emus on countless devices.. etc, and this app throws back an 'unsupported' error.
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] Jaxbot:
Tried it on my Focus and it worked fine; A little slow, as the others are saying, but the gameplay was smooth. Controls were a little slow to respond at times, but it worked fine all-in-all. FYI: ROM tested: Super Mario Bros NES

Gave it some attention here, also, a picture of it running on my Focus. Looks nice!

Easy way to get a URL

If you use DropBox you can quickly put a rom in your public folder and get the URI from the DropBox right click menu...

--------------

BTW, I'm the author of a SharpDropBox Client for .NET (over on CodePlex -- sharpdropbox.codeplex.com -- sorry not enough posts here to post an outside link) which is really just a client for WP7. I'm not sure if the author used XNA or Silverlight, but if he used the latter he could integrate my library to make it easy for those of us who can sideload to get stuff on the device. If not, I'm not sure if my library will work with XNA or not (I need to learn XNA and figure this out)

I'm hoping to give a talk on this at MIX this year (I'm actually working on creating a client library for a few other similar services for WP7).

Anyway, if he wants to get in contact with me I would love to give him a hand with this..

DevTheo
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] Tuska:
Next version is up, 1.1.0.

I hope for better framerate! and touch input should be more responsive now.

I also tried that dropbox api, but the login didn't work.
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] vagabond1:
Shame on you having me do testing on the morning of my Birthday ;)

Results in a minute....

Mario Bros 1 on previous ver: 23-29 FPS (about 38-49% speed)

wasn't able to test on new version, games that loaded in first version did not load at all in new version.. Seems even pickier than before...

tried 10 diff games from 3 diff sets. Same results

Tuska: If you can PM me and I can help with testing. I have a Dell Venue Pro and am experienced with using rom/emus
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] jojo0821:
The 110 slow then the 105.

The Key of Solomon just get 12 frames.(I got 10 frames when press the sound button )

still giving me errors :S
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] MisterWhiz:
Runs on my HTC Surround.

Very slow framerate, but I'm very impressed at the fact this thing works at all, a credit to you, developer!

Instead of having the gamepad as a separate window, why not overlay it on a landscape fullscreen so you have semi-transparent controls on top of a fullscreen landscape game. Please keep working on this, this is one of the first times since owning a WP7 that I've gone "wow, i like this"

I'm still iffy about WM6.5 vs WP7 so please keep working on this! This alone will validate my purchase of the surround!

Very well done
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] kshakir80:
my HTC Surround says can't download file! Windows Phone doesn't support .xap files.

wtf? can anyone help?
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] OTD Razor:
Tested on Samsung Focus

Just wanted to post my feedback:

No showstopper bugs so far. The emulator does run slow, like others said seem like about 40% of what would be normal. I tested with a Super Mario Bros ROM. Multitouch seems fine despite reports from others, but I can confirm sound is not working. It's a nice start and proves that a fully working emulator is an attainable goal.

What can make it better, down the road of course ;)

- support of .ZIP

- connecting it to the browser in some way if HTTP is going to be the only method to load ROMs

- a way to rename ROMs once downloaded

A great start. You should be proud Tuska!
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] gitanojr:

if you own the game you can legally download the rom. You do have to have proof of purchase. Otherwise you can rip the rom yourself

Good to hear, maybe some charitable soul will donate a handset ;-)
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] ErikWithNoC:
Great first start. There's another developer on YouTube who has been creating an NES app (have you contacted him?). I wasn't able to find a .xap of his though so I installed yours. It needs some work, but it's a great first step!
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] vagabond1:
mattbetcher's? yeah his is stable but you have to compile it yourself, ROM included. That makes distributing the .xap illegal. It is open source though, and at one point it did run near fullspeed on handset
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] ErikWithNoC:
I tried downloading his source code, but I'm having trouble compiling it (I'm not asking for help as this is not the right place for it). Why don't you work with him to help come together and create a single NES emulator?

EDIT

I actually got it deployed, just getting used to the software (never really used it before). It does run much, much smoother, but no sound, saves, or menu system is a bummer.
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] Tuska:
Any tips where is the source for matt's emulator?

roms .zip

i've been looking for roms online and they are quiet easy to find the problem is when i put the URL on the nes emulator it doesnt doe anything

is it because the roms are in .zip format?

does the rom have to be unziped?

everywhere i go all the roms are in .zip format

is there a way i can download the rom and unzip it on my computer and put it inside the nes emulator and it would just have the game inside and i can simply select it instead of putting the url and downloading it?

let me know

Could the .xap be posted to a new host, I haven't been able to download from the link for two days now.
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] Ricmo:
You are correct in thinking that it can not be zipped. If all you can find is zipped roms on the internet, then my suggestion to you is to get yourself a webserver running on your own computer, and then put your .nes files on that. I wouldn't suggest hosting the roms on a webserver that you are paying for. Normally that is against their rules and you could get yourself in a bit of trouble.

For anyone with problems with putting your .nes roms into the web for the wp7 emulator app:

A very simple and uncomplicated solution to do this is to use dropbox! After you install the programm there is a public folder. When you put the .nes in there it will get its own web address. (for example I have this picture (of my own app - check that out in the marketplace too ;) ) in my public dropbox folder: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/6568643/tdbg6.png)

If you like this idea please use this link to log into dropbox (We both will get more free space if you use my link)

If you have questions regarding Dropbox just send me a pm.

You can also use Fileden.com

It keeps the filename the same rather than giving you a random like like skydrive does (e.g. hxxp://fileden.com/blarg/filename.nes )
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] waraukaeru:
*.nes file association

When one browses to a *.zip file in the WP7 browser it downloads the archive and presents a directory tree showing its contents. When you select a *.nes file it returns an error that no application is associated with the file type.

Couldn't this App be associated with the *.nes file type upon install? Then, when *.nes file is loaded into the application, from a *.zip archive or otherwise, it could be saved to the isolated storage of the app.
