Best emulating app(s)?? - Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development

I was specifically looking for SNES, NES and Gamboy and/or GBA. I'm currently using MorphGear with full activation, but it's just not up to par. I've ever got a speed tweak allocating more CPU usage to the program and it's still somewhat sluggish. Are there any 'top of the line' mobile emulators out there?

try www.coolrom.com there is a variety of emu's and alot of good roms/games

Pocket Nester is a good (probably the best) NES emulator. Works pretty good on my XV6800. I've been able to run about 90% of the games I like.
As far as SNES, you can try PocketSNES. I had mixed success. Some games ran fine, other had problems with freezing up. Ended up removing it, since I like the original NES games better anyhow.

They all would be lacking as there is no Multi-button press App that I know of that works with the Titan.

?????....are you talking about multi-touch on the screen? or pressing 2 hardware buttons at the same time?
if you are referring to pressing 2 hardware buttons at the same time, i think you need to return your mogul....if you are talking about the screen, why use the screen joystick when you have hardware buttons??

Hmmm, this is interesting... are there any C-64 emulators for WM6? I have one for PalmOS, called Frodo... it's pretty wild to see "COMMODORE BASIC V2.0" come up on my Treo's screen

Ugh, no. The mogul doesn't allow multiple keypresses during Emulation such as games. The response is fast between keypresses but it is not true multi press. Meaning you can not hold one button to do one action and press another button at the same time to do another action at the same time.
We need an app like the 6700's kb fix.

Hrmmm... that would explain why Fn or Shift + another button never works.... ermmmm.. 'duh

again....you need to return your mogul....if what you say was true, NES emulation would be so poor, it would be unplayable.....i don't know about you, but i can make mario run by pressing and holding right on the d-pad and holding the 'messaging' button....if you can't do that, your mogul is inferior and you should have it replaced....

Yerp, he's talking about pressing MORE than 2 buttons at once. Sure, you can make Mario run to the right by pressing right and holding "B" but whenever you are holding both of those buttons you have to let go of "B" and hit "A" to make him jump. If you are holding right and "B" and try to hit "A", Mario won't jump.
As stated before, there was a fix for this on the 6700 however it does not work with the Mogul, I've tried. Hopefully someone will figure out a workaround or fix for this!

ahhhhh......i see.....never noticed that...good thing no nes games require both a and b to be pressed at the same time....not sure why this is a deal breaker for some, but to each his own.....

I'm not too into gaming, but to indulge in the novelty of it I played a bit of snes mario world, and came to a level where this limitation was an absolute deal breaker.
The level required mario to run fast across a platform that was descending into lava, and it was timed so that you had to run in turbo the entire time, and also jump over a couple obstacles. Well, everytime you jump it cancels your turbo and delays you a little. Couldn't get past the lava in time no matter what. Had to go back a couple levels and get a feather and fly at the end to make it.
This limitation absolutely needs a fix like on the apache. I will pay $10 to the creator of a fix, as will many others I'm guessing.

how to use an emulator
i've searched everywere and can't find a thread that explains the basics of emulators and how to intasll and run each particular one
i'm using XV6800 with utstarcom 6.1 upgrade.
still a noob...kinda
interested in whatever emulator works well with my system
SPEED is a major concern as my device alllready seems pretty bogged down
I WANT CONTRA 4
thanx for all help in the past
and than for anything u can offer in the future

Pressing multiple buttons at once?
Is there a fix yet for the 6800 that will let you press multiple buttons at once for emulator type applications?

Decrease mogul screem pressure threshold?

I wanted to do this so that I wouldn't have to press down as hard on the screen, mainly for using S2U2, but this registry key does not seem to exist. I searched the registry for 'threshold' and could not find the screen setting:

Is this possible on the mogul? Thanks.

No. not possible duue to hardware limitations. Pressing is required because of the type of touch overlay used.
This isn't a capacitive touch iphone! thank god!
When you align your screen if you use the softest touches to align it with it will make it where you dont have to touch so hard. I know it sounds crazy but I run into this issue once and realised that I was hitting the screen too hard during the calibration.

You don't like the iphone touchscreen? Why not? I wish windows mobile devices has screens like that. I do know that pressing is necessary, but how hard you must push is a setting.
Thanks for the tip about the calibration. I will try that.

It's capacitive meaning you must use your finger. I like being able to use a stylus, pen cap, finger, gloved finger, finger nail, etc, etc, etc.

I don't think this is likely. If this were true, someone could write an app to capture the touch pressure and change, say, the width of the brushstroke in a painting application (like a Wacom drawing tablet). I'm pretty sure that touch pressure for these screens is limited to ON and OFF, not variable levels.

yeah the quickgps is deffinetly a placebo. I've thoroughly tested using and not using this on 4 different titan's with mixed/random results, and conclude, that it does absolutely nothing.
QuickGPS to clarify (this is now off topic of the thread) saves empheris data from the internet to a file that on the original phones would be checked and the data loaded properly to use. On the titan however the file is stored, and is never checked again. Many of the people responsible for giving titan users modded phones have stated this fact. Yet n00b's, no offense, continue to preach that it works and others follow along.

Good enough for me. I will not be using it from this point forward. Thanks.
just to keep the spunk alive in this thread,,,,
as for the screen pressure.. I was pretty sure that they are xon xoff too... and that pressure sensitivity has no premise in these phones... until..........
and I may be speaking out of my arsehole,, I had loaded up a couple big apps that sucked up a bunch of memory, and at first i thought my screen had quit responding, because when i would click it with the stylus nothing would happen,, but I pressed real hard one time and it worked,, I went back to normal pressure and it didnt work,, i tried with normal pressure 5 times and no go.. then the 6th time i pressed hard and pow it took it,,, i continued doing this just to test it out,, and it did the same thing over and over again until I decided to soft reset.. then all was back to normal...
so maybe I had so much buffering or something going on with the other tsr programs running, that it caused a glitch in the pressure threshold of the screen...
just a thought,,,

has anyone else had problems with cursor while typing

Ok this isn't a huge problem but it does annoy me. When I type on the phone and.if i wanna go back to fix a typo or write something else it seems very difficult to get the cursor where i want it..on the og EVO u would just tap where I wanted to type or whatever..now it seems a lot more difficult..it brings up like a green icon that you slide ..its just like the icon when you cut and paste a word..funny though as i type this it isn't doing it as bad..the thing just bounces around and moves by itself..
One cool feature about the HTC hero was the trackball. I miss that!
if you use honeycomb (edit... Gingerbread) keyboard, you can slide the spacebar up to reveal directional arrows.
...nice upgrade from hero

I'd prefer to not adapt to a design flaw. It worked perfectly fine before, I refuse to believe this is a "feature" so much as a bug as they say, one man's trash...
Yea I can't figure it out ..ill press where I want it to go and it will go there there just bounce somewhere else..it drives me nuts when typing..also I always hit the period instead of space but I guess that's my fault

Similar with Swiftkey X, you can enable arrows in the options, allowing for finer control of the cursor.
Honestly, though, the touch-based cursor control is always something that iOS has done better than Android, in my experience. Android gets close, but iOS moves the cursor very smoothly within words.

[Q] Home button as a touchpad

I'm wonder if the home key could be used touchpad or optical joystick on the SGS2. The reason why is because that I could use the cursor in the browser. Any reply would help before purchase the phone.
Like the old samsung omnia? anyways that's not possible the button is just a press button, there is now 4 way direction or any sensor under it.
hope this idea can be true in next Galaxy phone
Don't let that sway you from buying the phone tho! what it can do out ways the little it cant do

Close, samsing omia used a direction mouse which is same thing. Touchpad are used on blackberries and I know optical joysticks are used on HTC like the Incredible.
I'm on Sprint so It won't will be till august till I can get the phone. I have been try to find something that with a trackpad type device. Which I thought the SGS2 had. I have fat finger and there is now good browser that address that. I try to click on something add I click the wrong thing all the time it make me mad. If the device has a trackpad in it many browsers support it. It would be great if somewould make an app or add on but no luck in the market yet(hint one anyone). I would pay for app like that.

Found A Glitch In screen Use!!

So I just signed up in this forum just so I can post my findings. I would like everyone to be aware of the issue. I spent and hour and a half with tech support (supprisingly the best I have ever had and usually never call tech support) making sure there wasn't something I was missing, Or yet hopefully here someone could chime in and help. I have a Motorola Elecrify from us cellular which I take it as basically the same as the photon 4g. Which I also have rooted. I have access to a non rooted phone and same thing is occuring. What is going on is When you use a emulator lets say john nes light and playing a nes game like super mario bros and hold the dpad left or right button for about 8 secs it stops you have to release the button for a good sec and than you can press it again. If you do it to quick you press the button go forward and than stop. Any app or game that you hold the button down for a few seconds it stops. A great free game to test is called zombie village. Just press and hold forwar and you will see exactly what I am talking about. Like I said any game will do this. Its just not this game. I had the Galaxy S and none of this happens. Only with the Electrfies. Any ideas? Thanks and sorry for the long post.
Yep I see this frequently with on screen controls that require you to continue to hold the screen. Galaxy on fire comes to mind, pacman too. But I've learned to tap quickly instead of hold lol. Its a nuisance.

I don't believe that this is a Photon/Electrify-specific issue. Can someone confirm?
Also, seeing as you are the only Electrify user on here, is there any way that you can upload a full system dump of your phone? That way we can compare internals...
Thanks!

I can confirm that this glitch is present when playing Racing Moto.
It's not bug, it's a feature -- water drop detection, very annoying but officially confirmed on atrix and now on photon.
This "feature" was not throughly thought out. Who gets more water droplets than their finger on the screen?

(USC) Motorola Electrify MB853
(1st post - short time lurker)
I also have the Electrify from USC and have it rooted using the AIO method - thanks to shabbypenguin and others involved. The only issue I have run across since doing this was webtop would not load when inserting the device into HD Dock, but clearing cache in the Webtop Connector app and reboot seems to have fixed that for now.
More on topic, I can confirm the screen issue being discussed as evidenced in the "Sprinkle" game that is promoted on the Nvidia Tegra Zone. The game involves pressing an on screen button to shoot water to put out fires. The need to constantly hold the button is a given (at least for me.) I was beginning to think it was a problem with the program, but it may just as well be the glitch described here.
this isn't a photon specific issue, i've had this happen with the hp touchpad when playing asphalt 6, i think it just has somethin to do with touch screens in general
I experience this on yays deodexed rom....
ATRIX, bionic, droix3 ....all have this protocol for security reasons

This game probably doesnt have any patches to support the photon hardware, much like a computer game issues can arise when using a different operating system or from various video cards, android games are not optimized for each and every android phone out there, I suggest talking to the software company releasing this game, see if you can find out if there are game patches or notify them regarding your issues and perhaps browsing theough tegra 2 forums to find a solution? I do know there is some kind of tegra2 zone where you can find games optimized for the tegra2 processor

I don't think processor optimization has anything to do with it. This behavior its easily verified without playing a game. Download any of the free multitouch test apps. Hold a finger down anywhere for a while (for me it takes about 12 seconds), and the circle, or crosshairs, or whatever whatever will disappear. Worse yet, if you move your finger around after that, the indicator will jump and skitter around a bit, then disappear immediately again.
According to some of the other posts in this thread, this isn't a bug, it's a "feature", but it's one feature I could do without. I'm hoping that, if we get CM7 (or 8?!), we can turn this little feature off.
Im Sorry i haven't posted since I opened this thread. But I have pretty much gotten used to it. I just have to change the way I play games and roms. Still sucks but what can I do? Thanks for all the posts. Is there anyway to edit this behavior or anything?

Multitouch borked? (And potentially shady VZW customer service)

So I got my DNA on Sunday. So far, I'm pretty happy with it except for one issue. My multitouch seems messed up. If I'm trying to play a game that requires both thumbs, basically the two of them tapping the screen interfere with one another. For example, if I'm playing something like shadowgun, or GTA III, or max payne, or even the preinstalled diablo clone, if I'm moving a character and try to press an attack button at the same time(or in the case of GTA trying to actually steer while driving) the character movement "stick" resets to neutral. and sometimes the reverse will happen. Trying to move will cause the attack button to stop registering. The issue has been "confirmed" by me with multitouch visible test found in the play store. In the test, moving my thumbs around and making them cross axis screws up the touch registering. could anyone confirm or deny that this is happening on their device? Games are basically unplayable. I went into a VZW store today(the only one in my are with the phone in stock) and tried their demo unit and it exhibited the same problem. I was then promptly told by the sales rep that the one device they had was being held for a paid order. Nevermind the fact that I was told over the phone minutes before that the one phone was available and that they DO NOT hold devices for customers. A call to corporate may be in order... Anyway, any thoughts on the multitouch "issue" would be greatly appreciated.
Have you tried turning off HTC gestures in Settings -> Display & Gestures? I think the 3 finger swipe for HTC Media Link messes with multi touch
Generally speaking any issues with multitouch are software related. The sensors should be fine its a matter of callibration based on the software. Like the previous poster said it may be due to sense's gesture features. New kernels when they are released will likely fix this but I have never experiencedit. Gonna have to try and reproduce this today.
I've also noticed plenty of issues with multi touch. I've noticed while browsing, if I'm holding the phone with two hands and any portion of my one hand is touching the screen and I'm trying to scroll it won't respond till I remove that skin that is making contact.

I'm pretty sure every phone is like that.
I believe it is the game/app software related. I don't think a lot of them are set up to recognize the larger 5.0"+ screens running resolutions over 720p. We are kinda treading new territory here. I have heard of a few games that don't display correctly on our phones so I don't doubt controls/multi-touch could need some tweaking as well.
I may be wrong but that is my opinion.

Are you becoming part of the "Now" generation that I saw you complain about in another thread?
Games will begin working once app developers start updating for 1080p screens.

No, LOL.
But I have seen these things before, where developers catch up 6 months later. A lot of the games I want to play are Gameloft or EA, and they both are terrible at updating. Horn hasn't been updated since September.
In that case, I can come back in 6 months with a newer device and will be content.
I am definitely patient, and can live with the Gnex a bit longer if I decide to go that route.
Thanks for the replies. I did try turning off HTC gestures last night with no success. I'll have to figure out a way to post a video of it. Basically, in the multitouch test app, If i hold the phone in landscape, as if I'm playing a game, then place both thumbs in the lower corners, it registers fine. However, if I slowly move my left thumb up and down then repeatedly tap the right corner(an action commonly performed in 3D action games) it trips it up and starts reversing the thumb inputs and occasionally introducing a third input even though I only have two fingers on screen. I can't believe that it's just an issue with software, or I'd assume reviews would have pointed to it. It makes games basically unplayable. And I've seen video online of people playing those types of games on the phone without the issue. A video would help. I'll try to figure something out.
Its been like that for some time the phones capability is more than the multi tasking allows I got 7 apps at once any load after that it won't show in recent. Though its slightly better with the app refresh upon switch its much better than my previous HTC the EVO LTE . Still when we got aosp based roms it was much better but with no limit or more on that device it slowed a lot but two gigs in this is great.

So I've "solved" the issue. I actually swapped it out for another phone and then it worked fine and I was happy. Then I re installed holo locker from the play store and started having the same issue. So holo locker WILL break the multi touch capabilities of the DNA. I just e-mailed the dev and hopefully get a response. So again, for anyone using the phone, DO NOT INSTALL HOLO LOCKER. At least not until it's updated.
