I have read most of this thread and so far haven't seen anyone having the problem I am having.

I have downloaded N64 roms from several different sites. And they all download as zip files. I wasn't sure if N64oid can open zip files or if you have to unzip them, so I tried to open them and got this error "Load ROM failed. Please try another file."

So I tried unzipping them, and I can't, because all of the zip programs I have are saying that it's an invalid zip. And I get the same message no matter which files I try to unzip from several sources.

Anyone else encounter this problem?

Can someone verify what type of file needs to be used with N64oid?

I have read in this thread that it's either .n64 or .z64. But can someone confirm that?

Where is everyone getting their roms, and are they zip files? Are you able to unzip them?

Thanks so much, in advance!
[Android General] HunteronX:
Those zip files are probably corrupt. Zipped roms are just single rom files compressed into a zip file (so you could extract the roms from the downloaded zip file).

You'll have to try finding other copies of roms instead, but I can't provide any links, though.

Also, the file types I've seen are '.n64', '.v64' or '.z64'.
[Android General] keeverw:
Well, thanks for the help.

The place I got some of these roms is a place that I've used for years, and I've never seen any corrupt files from them. So I wonder if that is it. The other place I tried is also very popular, so again I'm not sure why the files are corrupt. But I'll keep trying.

Thanks again for quick response.

This app is incompatible with your Motorola MB525. :(
[Android General] ermacwins:
Are there any updates from yongz on updating this emu?
[Android General] keeverw:
I got a full version of WinZip yesterday thinking that maybe my freeware zip program was the problem. Nope.

Winzip said it's invalid too.

Can someone whose actually gotten this thing to work please pm me where they got the roms?

Thanks!
[Android General] i900frenchaddict:
It has been updated today:

N64oid v2.0 is out on SlideMe

We had the news very fast at Fpse forum thanks to

CrualFoxHound

who has kept us informed of yongz's work almost daily.

I just bought it (again)=> it's way faster, many games don't require Frameskip at all on my HTC Sensation, and much more are compatible, here are for the ones I've personnally tested with V 2.0

WORKING:

1080 Snowboarding (frameskip on 3 )

Banjo_Kazooie (perfect, no frameskip needed)

Beetle Adventure Racing (very good, just a little frameskip needed)

Carmageddon (smooth with frameskip on 5)

Castlevania (perfect, no frameskip needed)

Castlevania Legacy of the Darkness Castlevania (perfect, no frameskip needed)

Conker's Bad Fur Day (slow, even with frameskip on 10 it remains laggy)

Diddy kong racing (perfect with frameskip on 3 )

F-Zero X (perfect, no frameskip needed)

Goldeneye 007 (hard to choose between high frameskip and smooth but a little slow. OK in the whole)

Harvest Moon (perfect, no frameskip needed)

Legend Of Zelda the Ocarina of time (frameskip to 3 to be sure it will never lag, but could be no frameskip needed)

Lego Racer (perfect, no frameskip needed)

Mario Kart 64 (perfect, no frameskip needed)

rampage world tour (perfect with frameskip set to 3, remains smooth )

Star Wars Shadow of the empire (actually works! Would be full speed with frameskip on 3 BUT it starts flickering as soon as frameskip is ON, so very playable but the first mission is a little slow)

Starfox (perfect, no frameskip needed)

Super Mario 64(perfect, no frameskip needed)

NOT WORKING (for me, if you have it working, tell me so that I can check my rom)

California Speed (menus are OK but go back to file explorer as soon as the race starts)

Donkey Konk 64 (I'm stuck on the first Rareware logo, with monckeys shouting as sounds)

Wave Race (black screen)

NEED A FIX

Star Wars Ep.1 Racer: the same problem remains: image too low, whatever the plugin + menus can hardly be read =>unplayable)

Paper Mario (my US version is always flickering, my Euro version crashes after I got the mail but doesn't flicker...)

Fpse+N64oid=Ultimate emu. combo :cool:
[Android General] joshnichols189:
Paper mario doesn't work perfectly, the new gfx core won't let you get past two minutes in after the mail call, and the old one has rendering issues. It's playable, but it's annoying as hell to see the screen flicker half the time
[Android General] klub242:
I was really excited until I saw the fact that it's $4 now. I already paid for it when it was in the market, anyone know a way to get in touch with the developer and work that out with him? I've got an email receipt still I'm pretty sure.
[Android General] phoenixs4r:
Agreed. I already paid for this app.
[Android General] i900frenchaddict:
Right, Paper Mario doesn't work:

My Euro version doesn't flicker but crashes just after you got the mail.

My US version doesn't crash but flickers all the way.

As for the price, I would have agreed with you if Yongz's emulators had not been all kicked out the Android Market. So let's say that I considered buying again was a way to support this great dev, so I'm not frustrated too much of paying again.

EDIT: Star Wars ep1 Racer is working, you must set the old plugin before starting the game (the reset function seems not to change anything once tha game has been loaded). It's full speed and smooth without any frameskip on my Sensation.

It seems people with a Galaxy S2 have gfx glitches and bugs due to their GPU. Yongz is working on it but I would recommend not to buy it yet for GS2 owners (or to wait for more feedback)

It also seems I see much more speed improvements on my Sensation than people with a Galaxy S (1) who don't see such a big difference.
[Android General] ermacwins:
Thanks for the update but what new things does it bring to the table? Does banjo tooie and perfect dark work?
[Android General] daveid:
Anyone with a 3.1 tablet who can test if this is working properly with usb gamepads now? If so, I might actually buy it.
[Android General] bongd:
All I want is some stability but it crashes like crazy still!

Spent like an hour trying to pay for this again but I'm disappointed :(
[Android General] i900frenchaddict:
@bongd : What games are crashing for you? I had time to play Zelda, Goldeneye, Mario 64 and Star Wars Ep1 Racer for some time today, no crash on these ones.

@ermacwins: I think the 2 games you told about remain uncompatible, I haven't tested myself but read on another forum.
[Android General] klub242:
How are save states working? The old version I have seems to crash at least half the times that I try to save them, at least on Ocarina of Time and Smash Bros.
[Android General] i900frenchaddict:
Please note that you'll lose all your save states from previous N64oid versions when updating to 2.0 :(
[Android General] ermacwins:
OK seriously what is it bringing new to the table? And he's ignoring my emails what's his personal email?
[Android General] gwaine:
Waverace 64 works really well for me...great game if you haven't played it before. I've got an Xperia Play (2.3.2) if that makes any difference with it working for me but not for you but maybe it's just a bad ROM?
[Android General] bongd:
LoZ: OoT was crashing, but I didn't play much because the beginning really drags on and it sucks I couldn't use save states. I see that yongzh said the save files reference the ROMs internal name and not what we've named it, and that this will be fixed. I could change the name and try playing from where I left off though.

LoZ: MM crashed tons unfortunately.

Played through Mario64 after a reboot and it's not crashing as much. In fact, it only crashed once so maybe I'll try new ROMs and double check the checksum, at least for OoT. Thanks!
[Android General] i900frenchaddict:
I don't have his personal email either :p

So what's new? A new plugin + the choice between the new one and the old one.

And even with the old one, it's faster for me.

Also slightly more compatible games (as for what I've tried: Star Wars Ep1 racer is an example)

More speed for games that were already compatible, on my Sensation frameskip is now useless for some games that used to require it, so it's smoother.

Once more it seems the improvements of v.2 may be different, depending on your device, especially your GPU, so I can only tell for the results I have on my Sensation.
[Android General] bongd:
I really hope he can find out what's causing the instability and causing games to out right crash. He's acknowledged the few bugs and quirks so that's promising. Here's to hoping for a more stable and quick release! :)
[Android General] ermacwins:
What email or how are you contacting him? Feeling left out after paying.

I have galaxy s2 and LG optimus 2x for testing :)
[Android General] edgarpo:
I got it on my galaxy tab 10.1

F Zero X works

ocarina of time works

super smash bros flickering and crashing, better on 1.1.4 however more details on this version.
[Android General] ermacwins:
Got 2.0 and testing oot masterquest and links house is green and the bed is blue. This update is crap

using galaxy s2
[Android General] i900frenchaddict:
Can't you read?? I posted in the previous page of this thread that Galaxy S2 had gfx problems with N64oid due to its GPU and that yongzh is working on it.

=> If you have read a little the post instead of just come to complain, you would have known you would have this problem on your GS2. ;-)
[Android General] shaolin95:
So 2.0 seems to be a decent upgrade. I can tell Killer Instinct runs better without the hiccups (almost none but music still breaks up often specially during the player bios but rarely during the actual game so no biggie) and XG2 works better too.

There are still glitches and not on the same level as FPSE for example but I like it better now and in my Captivate the games are running superb with no FPS skip selected.

If someone wants some game or thing tested, let me know.

Regards
[Android General] i900frenchaddict:
Sure, Fpse for Android comes from FpseCE that is now a more than 10 years old project. (and a port from Fpse by LDchen released in 1998 or about, ....who also worked on FpseCE then Fpse with Schtruck) so in my opinion, Fpse is surely the emulator with the biggest background.

Have you tried Paper Mario? If yes, what's your result (and is it E or U version?)

Some say their U version doesn't flicker, mine does, and my E version freezes after you got mail.

And what about Wave Racer, if you've tried that one?
[Android General] ermacwins:
where are you getting this info from? and your right about the gs2 gpu bug:o
[Android General] keeverw:
Mod Edit: let me remind everyone that warez are NOT allowed on this forum. Be that requesting them or posting them. Ether of that two actions will result in appropriate punishment. Game roms do fall under the warez category.

Jug6ernaut

Keeverw Edit:

Now that is pretty darn hillarious.

We can talk about an app designed to play game roms, but we can't discuss how to aquire said roms.

In what world does that make sense?

And for what it's worth, even though I completely disagree with that rule, I was aware of it, that is why I asked someone to pm me, so I wouldn't be discussing it in the forum proper.

And actually I don't need help finding roms. I need help unzipping them.
[Android General] klub242:
My U version of paper mario definitely flickers :(

And btw about the saves everyone - they're still compatible, he just changed the save naming scheme so you have to rename. Instead of saving them the same as the rom file name (e.g. MarioKartRom.sra, if Mario Kart is an sra save) it's named by the official rom name -- e.g. Mario Kart 64 (U) [!].sra. Easy fix!
[Android General] i900frenchaddict:
I have some of the infos thanks to CrualFoxHound, he is beta tester for N64oid, and is present on Fpse forum.

Fixing this problem with the GS2 is now yongzh absolute priority, he's actively working on it.
[Android General] ermacwins:
thats good to know.

Also I one of the devs from fpse replied to my email in February and said:

What ever happaned to that I wonder......
[Android General] haupman:
Can someone test to see if Toy Story 2 works on the new version? Also, I am curious if we will ever get multiplayer for Goldeneye.
[Android General] i900frenchaddict:
For toy story 2, here is a trick CrualFoxHound gave at Fpse forum, don't know if it works, I haven't tested myself:

As for the emu Schtruck was talking about, it was supposed to be an old gen. console, not N64 or above. Don't know if he stopped working on it for the moment to concentrate on Fpse
[Android General] haupman:
When I try to load Toy Story 2 on the older N64oid, I just get a blank screen so it doesn't seem that I can try your trick.
[Android General] rohit275:

[Android General] i900frenchaddict:
In most case=> No

Only under 2 BIG conditions:

=> Your kernell must allow it

=> Your USB host must be powered

I hgave that kind of USB adapter since my Windows Mobile Toshiba TG01 had a powered USB (he could read USB flash memory, handle a mouse....or usb gamepad)

It doesn't work on my HD2 or my Sensation, the USB host is NOT powered.

So a single USB adaptor won't be enough except for some tablets

@haupman: right, you need N64oid latest version to try this trick

N64oid 2.0.1 is out, supposed to fix a big part or maybe all gfx problems (transparency, etc) with Samsung Galaxy S2

Transparency in Zelda OOT is reported as fixed at least on GS2, but it seems the game still regularly crashes, like on galaxy S. It doesn't on my HTC Sensation or HD2, strange...
[Android General] ermacwins:
Well my GS2 supports USB host mode so what needs to be done in kernel side?

Is there a way I can contact yoghz coz I dont wanna pay for an app twice
[Android General] i900frenchaddict:
If your device supports USB host, you can try tu plug a PS3 controller and use some gamepad drivers from the market.

I've just realized that it's not so stupid, since the Sixaxis is self-powered, but I suppose we need specific drivers then to use it, not only to plug it...

I also wonder: does the PS3 wireless controller send its "button-pressed codes" through USB, or if USB is just a way to charge it and make it exchange its bluetooth address with the host?

As for not paying again, I really can't do anything for you, it's a question of choice, support one of the most brilliant emulator developper who was kicked out of the Android Market by google and so lost most of its developping incomes (who use SlideMe?) or use a warez...............or don't use it at all ;-)

I paid again mainly to support the dev (I'm using 3 of his emus ^^, not because I thought it was fair to pay again)

And also because I definitly know I could have paid 5Euros for Zelda OTT, Mario kart, Mario 64, etc, each, if we were still at the time when Android didn't exist and we had to pay 5 euros for ****ty java games lol

The recent updates have made my XBox 360 controller work much better, the analog stick is now pressure sensitive as it should be. However, I wish I had a way to adjust it, because it moves when not being touched sometimes. But, that is not enough to bother me really, the sensitivity makes up for it!
[Android General] Overstew:
How on earth did you get your 360 controller to work for it?!
[Android General] alain57:
simple

use a controller witch isn't wireless (it is USB) and it will be recognised automatically on your tab (at least on my acer iconia tab)

but i didn't try this emulator ... i may try it after work :)
[Android General] daveid:
Perhaps I should have mentioned, this is on my tablet running 3.1.
[Android General] i900frenchaddict:
Zelda OOT still sometimes (regularly?) crashes or freezes.....

=> Use and abuse save/load function :D

(I wonder if these crashes are not related with opening the inventory, without opening it, I could play more than 20 minutes....)

[Android General] skinnyveganboy:
I read the entire license and I do apologize and retract my previous statement. However, in reading the terms I can tell with some certainty why "his" programs were removed from the market and his account deleted. in short, the terms state that when he used mupen64 and ported it to android he would have had to do certain things to remain within legal parameters. two of which were: 1. include a copy of the license with the program and 2. include a "change log" detailing exactly what he did from the original work. There were many items in the license which he neglected to adhere to and therefor he was claiming these programs as "his own work". which is why I say he "stole" the program. It does say in the license that turning a profit is allowed so I shouldn't have asked for pirated software on this forum. (which is ironic given the fact that he is now hosting all "his" emulators for free at http://slideme.org)

I have included a copy of the license as a .7z attachment, Just rename and open.
[Android General] bongd:
I retract my internet rage as well. I always flame but never mean it and apologize later lol :D
