[G2 and Desire Z General] jontornblom:
Ever since I got my G1, the thing that has been synonomous with my android phone is retro gaming with emulators. It's actually one of the biggest reasons I will only buy an android phone with a keyboard, ergo I upgraded to Vision.

Shout outs for Earthbound and Chrono Trigger anyone?

If you've never played those games, do yourself a hugely enjoyable favour and buy super gnes or snesoid from the market and start playing them now!
[G2 and Desire Z General] david279:
I've got the roms on my evo. Haven't tried any emulators on the g2 yet. chrono trigger its one of my favorite games of all time. Earthbound is just goofy.

Swyped from my evo 4g using the xda app.
[G2 and Desire Z General] jontornblom:
Did you ever finish earthbound? It gets pretty messed up by the end lol. I've used both the *oid emulators and super gnes. IMO super gnes works better; the music keeps playing even though sometimes things get slowed down. Snesoid would do weird things with the sound when the game would slow down. Perhaps it's been fixed since then.

One note is to always save games via emulator, but also save ~inside~ the game too. That way the savegame from within the game is on your sd card in case you install a new rom or need to wipe for another reason.
[G2 and Desire Z General] david279:
Never got to far on earthbound but I did finish trigger. Also secrect of the mana was a great game. I don't have the patients to finish rpg's like I use to but they don't make rpg's like they used to.
[G2 and Desire Z General] jontornblom:
It's true, they don't make them like that any more. About 2/3rds of the way through earthbound it gets all psychedellic and psychological and has a really gratifying end. I actually just finished it right now haha.

Maybe I'll do secret of mana next, since I've had that rom on my phone for a while ;)

But speaking of roms, I'm off to try the latest gingervillain! I'm pretty hooked on virtuous, but last time I checked in on what the villain was up to, it was quite promising!
[G2 and Desire Z General] HotShotAzn:
The only thing I really don't like about emu's on the G2 right now is the way the key mapping works. I wanted my D pad to be:

UP = Q

Left = .com

Right = A

Down = menu

But it wont let me choose those buttons. So I have to use W-S-Z-A. It's easier to track where your thumb is by the edge of the phone.

I wont be buying the game gripper because I have a case. I've thought about buying one anyways and modding it to fit but I really don't want to just throw away $20 right now.
[G2 and Desire Z General] Kohr-Ah:
Secret of mana had a beautiful story and ending. Well worth playing
[G2 and Desire Z General] scottmog:
yup, SOM is better then chono and earthbound
[G2 and Desire Z General] david279:
Final fantasy 7 beats em all.
[G2 and Desire Z General] scottmog:
Ff7 is where all the retards started playing because of the 3d graphics.

Ff6 had a better plot, story line, and probably the best soundtrack of any video game ever. Just look at any "greatest of all time games" list, sabin would slam cloud game anyday with a bumrush hahah :)

US ff2 was also really really good.
[G2 and Desire Z General] david279:
I liked cloud, I mean rpg's had to go 3d at some point even if it was best to stay at 2d. There has been a bunch of good 3d rpg's.

Swyped from my evo 4g using the xda app.
[G2 and Desire Z General] jontornblom:
Ya, I'm definitely going for secret of mana next. Good times all around.
[G2 and Desire Z General] HotShotAzn:
I have actually not played FF7. I still have the game and manual from when I bought it years ago.

I started playing FF8 and fell in love with that.
[G2 and Desire Z General] Kaczman:
what emulator

what emulator is the best for the G2? and where are you guys finding roms?
[G2 and Desire Z General] jontornblom:
Snesoid and super gnes both work really well. I think snesoid has a rom search engine inside it. That should help ya find stuff :D
[G2 and Desire Z General] geert01:
Any of you guys ever had a chance to play Terranigma? awesome snes rpg!
[G2 and Desire Z General] scottmog:
I wasnt slamming on the graphics, I didnt like the story. If you like rpgs play jpn ff6/us ff3. It beats ff7 on every "best games of all time" list ive seen.

Alot of people say the ff7 is one of the most overrated games of all time.

Then again most of the time it comes down to which games you played as a kid. SNES was and still is the best system for me, followed by N64. Not nes since I wasnt really skilled enough at that age. Born in 84.
[G2 and Desire Z General] jontornblom:
No, but I'm always on the lookout for a new one. Thanks!

I decided to play Mother 3, since I just finished earthbound, but I'm going to play secret of mana probably next. Then terranigma? I like having games to look forward to :D
[G2 and Desire Z General] Pohket:
Classic Games

Earthbound - great game, ending was amazing... Had never heard of it until a friend of mine spent like $40 on ebay to buy a copy!

Secret of Mana, Chrono Trigger, Secret of Evermore, FF3 (FF6) etc.. All Square (now SquareEnix) and all great games. When Square said they were not making games for the N64, but for Sony's PlayStation, I got a PS :D

Other RPGs (aside from the epic Link to the Past ). Lufia series (starts with Fortress of Doom), Breath of Fire, RoboTrek (very cartoony and 'PokeMon'-like... Developed by the same company that made Terranigma)
[G2 and Desire Z General] david279:
Don't forget the original phantasy star on genesis and sega cd. I liked the first super mario rpg. That was goofy but fun.

Swyped from my evo 4g using the xda app.
[G2 and Desire Z General] :
I def already played phantasy star. It was great fun! I also really liked shining force 1 and 2 for sega. Great battle system :D

Edit: I actually think I played phantasy star IV only. I quite enjoyed it anyway.
[G2 and Desire Z General] ellessidil:
Sad I havent seen this mentioned yet, although its little brother was mentioned..

Seiken Densetsu 3, a part of the "of Mana" series for SNES that never made it stateside.

Graphics were some of the best for a SNES game, it had three distinct storylines and varying endings, combat style similar to Secret of Mana combined with Chrono Trigger, and an enjoyable varying class system for each character.

You will have to find a translation patch, or already patched rom to play, but it is quite possibly the best RPG for SNES, and I hold FF6 as one of the greatest RPG's of all time.
[G2 and Desire Z General] scottmog:
ya, ive played like halfway through a couple of times. I like action/rpgs more then other genres. I hate bad translations lol >< I have a feeling if I played it when I was 10-12 years old then I would have liked it alot more.

Phantasy Star ;) Only ones i played was the dreamcast 3d ones, never had a sega when I was a kid. They were on sega right? Closest thing I had to sega was a game gear lol.
[G2 and Desire Z General] david279:
Yea the phantasy star games were on genesis and sega cd. Anybody ever play chrono cross?
[G2 and Desire Z General] TotalCrisis:
I'm actually ditching my Galaxy S Vibrant for a Desire Z today.

I'm a big emulator junkie, how is the keyboard on the desire Z for emulators? I'm also kind of curious about battery life and performance, right now my Galaxy S can play any GBA game without lag, I'm hoping the same for the desire Z.
[G2 and Desire Z General] d@rklink:
Gaming on the G2/Desire Z keyboard isn't bad at all. Took a little bit of getting used to but now its like second nature. Props to the OP for a great thread topic. The only roms I mainly play are Earthbound, Chrono Trigger and A Link to the Past. IMO they are the greatest games ever for the snes.
[G2 and Desire Z General] TotalCrisis:
Great, I am very excited about this phone.
[G2 and Desire Z General] theratdude64:
n64oid FINALLY came out! It plays many games pretty nicely, but so far the one I'm hooked on playing on my G2 is Banjo Kazooie lol. I've got SNESoid, N64oid and Gameboid on my phone. I'd play em more but the battery drains so bad :(

On SNESoid my favorite's are Zelda, Super Mario All Stars, Super Mario World, Kart, and Donkey Kong. I'd love Mortal Kombat 3 but the controls are kind of a pain on the phone.
[G2 and Desire Z General] sodvs:
can't leave out that edgars uses a chainsaw!!!!
[G2 and Desire Z General] :
If you liked Earthbound, get gameboid and play Mother 3. I just finished it last night and it is a worthy sequel for sure! If you can't find a patched/translated rom...just pm me an email address ;)
[G2 and Desire Z General] scottmog:
It didn't come on in the US correct? What system was it on? N64?
[G2 and Desire Z General] :
No, and it was finally released for game boy advance, but only in Japanese. There are fan translations out there, and I played a pre-patched english rom.
[G2 and Desire Z General] workingmanbh:
I played the first Phantasy Star for sms here in Brasil right after launch, and it was amazing and unforgettable. Chrono Trigger was another gem, as well as Xenogears.

Born in 81.
[G2 and Desire Z General] nmadd:

[Nexus One Android Development] rolle3k:
Hiya!

I've disassembled hboot-0.35.0017 for the nexus one. Security check is done by a function that I have patched.

I attached my current IDA (5.5) Database. Patched HBOOT can be found here.

We still need a method/exploit to flash this modified HBOOT on our device so we can have S-OFF.
[Nexus One Android Development] jdmoore81:
So does this mean we can lock or is it just a lock in progress and the modified hboot is it flashable
[Nexus One Android Development] rolle3k:
We just need to find a way to flash that modified HBOOT on the nexus one and we can lock it.
[Nexus One Android Development] GuestK00255:
Awesome! even if I don't exactly know the variables in play this sounds good and exciting :D :D
[Nexus One Android Development] jdmoore81:
What if the hboot is made flashable through custom recovery.
[Nexus One Android Development] rolle3k:
As far as I understood this:

/* Bootloader / Recovery Flow
*
* On every boot, the bootloader will read the bootloader_message
* from flash and check the command field. The bootloader should
* deal with the command field not having a 0 terminator correctly
* (so as to not crash if the block is invalid or corrupt).
*
* The bootloader will have to publish the partition that contains
* the bootloader_message to the linux kernel so it can update it.
*
* if command == "boot-recovery" -> boot recovery.img
* else if command == "update-radio" -> update radio image (below)
* else if command == "update-hboot" -> update hboot image (below)
* else -> boot boot.img (normal boot)
*
* Radio/Hboot Update Flow
* 1. the bootloader will attempt to load and validate the header
* 2. if the header is invalid, status="invalid-update", goto #8
* 3. display the busy image on-screen
* 4. if the update image is invalid, status="invalid-radio-image", goto #8
* 5. attempt to update the firmware (depending on the command)
* 6. if successful, status="okay", goto #8
* 7. if failed, and the old image can still boot, status="failed-update"
* 8. write the bootloader_message, leaving the recovery field
* unchanged, updating status, and setting command to
* "boot-recovery"
* 9. reboot
*
* The bootloader will not modify or erase the cache partition.
* It is recovery's responsibility to clean up the mess afterwards.
*/

The bootloader is flashing itself, the recovery just informs it to do so.
[Nexus One Android Development] efrant:
+1. What if you just use a custom recovery with signiture verification off?

@rolle3k: Assuming the we can get it to flash, would you be able to make the same mod to the newer HBOOT HBOOT-0.35.0017
[Nexus One Android Development] rolle3k:
Sure. I will edit it and try to flash it with verification off. If it works, I will let you guys know..
[Nexus One Android Development] MicroMod777:
Great work here! Keep it up! :)
[Nexus One Android Development] rolle3k:
I hacked the new hboot, but as expected, it failed to install because the signature is invaild. However, I attached the hboot nethertheless. If you manage to flash it, you can just use "fastboot oem lock" without problems thus locking the bootloader once again.
[Nexus One Android Development] redstar3894:
You won't be able to flash it unless you have an S-OFF nexus... otherwise HBOOT will refuse to flash anything that doesn't have a signature match...

That's why if you try flashing a Desire Radio to the N1, it won't work with a 'normal' nexus... you need to have the S-OFF in the bootloader as previously indicated...

So we would need to find a way (like they've done with the EVO, DINC, etc...) to get past the NAND lock (S-OFF)... I just don't think that people have tried to get that accomplished with the nexus since you can just do 'fastboot oem unlock' and it's done, unlike the other devices... :rolleyes:

Very nice work though... I don't think I've seen anyone else get this far... maybe someone could try to get a hold of unrevoked and see if someone there could be of assistance since they haven't published their method of bypassing the NAND lock... but then even if we were able to bypass the NAND lock we would still potentially have the already unlocked bootloader there... if that makes sense... :cool:
[Nexus One Android Development] ezeldin:
how i can used this file

??????????????????????????????????//
[Nexus One Android Development] MicroMod777:
Does it just need to be signed? Can you just uncheck signature verification from the Recovery program?
[Nexus One Android Development] rolle3k:
It's useless for now.
[Nexus One Android Development] rolle3k:
Thanks a lot for your post. Altho I was told that unrevoked's exploit does not seem to work with the nexus one bootloader, as it differs way too much from the desires bootloader.

Unfortunately that does not the trick. The recovery just tells the HBoot to flash an radio/hboot - it can not do that itself, the HBoot still checks the signature.

/EDIT:

[10:28] <@IEF> Bumble-bee: the exploit currently does not work on N1.

[10:29] <@IEF> it's on of the few devices that's missing the interface to hboot.

[10:29] <@IEF> *one

The exploit used by AlphaRev doesn't work on the N1 unfortunately ;(
[Nexus One Android Development] rolle3k:
Well, I prepared a HBOOT image which has the security check patched, that means security will be off as long as it is flashed. I could even add some code which would set the security flag directly, but that will stay open for the future until someone comes up with a solution to flash an unsigned HBOOT.
[Nexus One Android Development] efrant:
Thanks for your efforts thus far.
[Nexus One Android Development] knightnz:
If you have to ask, then it's of no use to you. It's for development only at this stage, not for users.
[Nexus One Android Development] rolle3k:
I uploaded my IDA Database of the newst HBOOT: http://ul.to/yiynox

Security check function has been identified. I will upload my patched HBOOT tomorrow as I need to get some sleep now.
[Nexus One Android Development] boqonx:
Can't we just dd the HBOOT like we do it on eMMC based devices?

[Wildfire General] xyzisahero:
I installed the Wildpuzzle v8 ... and then i installed SetCPU from this forum ... and i am not able to set the max past 528mhz ... i thought it must be something wrong with the custom rom .. ive even tried cynogenmod bt no luck there either ...

I believe its something to do with installing a custom kernel ... but i have no clue how to work with that ... If any one can please help me with that ... I am new to the android world ... and i want to overclock my wildfire ...

Thanks in advance ... tc
[Wildfire General] 3xeno:
If you are using WildPuzzle, flash the overclockable kernel. (The file name starts with 0130 under kernels).

Once you flash it, OC'ing is enabled, and you will be able to OC till 768 Mhz.

Flashing a kernel is the same as flashing a Custom ROM. Reboot into Recovery > Install Zip from SDC, Select the Kernel ZIP. Remember to take a nandroid backup beforehand though.

Good Luck
[Wildfire General] nlovers2000:
Install the Jacob's kernal.

Just flash it like ROM thru the recovery without flashing. I recommend a nandroid backup first in case something goes wrong.

Dont forget to hit the thanks button if it was helpful to you.
[Wildfire General] xyzisahero:
Thanks for the reply ... one more help if u can ... can u give me a link to the kernel ... actually the one i was thinking about was 0159_691mhz_cpu_speed_v1 ... will it do the job ??
[Wildfire General] xyzisahero:
COnfusion ... wat do u mean by .... Just "flash" it like ROM thru the recovery "without flashing"
[Wildfire General] antonio1475:
Don't flash that package, it's just a speed setting. First, you need to flash this

http://rom.tat.tw/wildfire/wildpuzzlerom/2.2/patches/0130_kernel_overclock_jacob_2.6.32_v1.zip

(3rd kernel of KERNELS title in Wildpuzzle 0.8 post)
[Wildfire General] antonio1475:
Flash it over the ROM, without wiping or reflashing the rom. Just flash it without doing nothing before or afterm and reboot.
[Wildfire General] 3xeno:
This one:

0130_kernel_overclock_jacob_2.6.32_v1.zip

0159 will also do (You will STILL need to flash 0130 before that). It will preset the CPU Speed to 691. Personally, I prefer flashing the OC'ed kernel, and, setting my own speeds and profiles through SetCPU. But, it is upto you.
[Wildfire General] MasterDL:
Flashing a faster predefined speed than the default 528mhz, I prefer 652mhz file, helps with the booting process complete smoother.. less waiting time to load up desktop. That's what I find anyway... used to wait ages until setcpu kicks in.
[Wildfire General] ephbee:
if you use the 130 kernel with wildpuzzle, the wifi hotspot won't work, it will be visible but won't connect, if you flash 055 overclocking kernel from wildpuzzle 8.0.11 thread then wifi hotspot is all good:D
[Wildfire General] kanye92:
strongly reccomend HCDR Jacobs Kernel v4.1 its the bees knees haha

flash taht and your good to go

high - 691200

low - 25800
[Wildfire General] xyzisahero:
Oh !! nw ive already flashd the 130 kernel ... what steps shd i follow to flash HCDR Jacobs Kernel v4.1 ... or the 055 kernel
[Wildfire General] xyzisahero:
One more thing .. as i was told flashing the 0130 kernel would help me in setting up a predifine values through setCPU... after flashing the 0130 .. i still cudnt set my speed more than 528 ... then i flashd the predifnd 691mhz kernel ... nw atleast the setcpu widget shows my max 691 nd min 254 .... :/
[Wildfire General] ephbee:
130 works fine, and if anything got a slightly higher linpack score than 055 as i tested both, it just wouldn't work with wifi hotspot.

i have only ever used set cpu.:p

to flash 055 i restored nandroid backup i did before overclocking with 130 and then flashed 055.
[Wildfire General] leduard:
Flashing CM7 nightly #19 would resolve issues. Also i didn't heard anyone complaining about this on CM7 thread. Please be sure to follow exactly the steps for installing CM7 including wipe and format /system.

CM7 #19 is OC'able by defaul, u only have to install SETcpu.

#19 is pretty stable.
