I was looking for Emulator(GameBoy/GameBoy Color/Gameboy Advance) for Smartphone and i found a lot of others that does not work or there is no option for me to change the resolution because it is too small.
Finally i found a post from modaco that work on my cingular 3125 wm5/wm6/wm6.1
I believe it also work on older OS like wm2003
Hi everybody,
I've been hunting on the net for good console emulators for the smartphone and came across PicoDrive and PocketSNES. Unfortunately neither of these emulators worked properly on my C550. So I decided to try and fix it so I could play my favourite games on my phone.
The biggest change is probably getting it to work at QVGA resolution, which was a definite improvement to the postage stamp size window. After much tinkering, I think I've reached a milestone and am happy to share it with the rest of the community.
Disclaimer: These programs have been tested on my C550. I hold no responsibility for any damage caused by running them on your own devices.

Please send enhancement requests to the original developers as I have no plans for doing any more updates to these programs.
Enjoy!

The best emulator I've seen is SmartGear. It has support for NES, GBC, GameGear, Genesis and a couple others I think. It's going to have SNES support really soon apparently too.
The only problem is it's not free, but it works so well and with unlimited free upgrades, I think it's worth it.
bitbanksoftware.com (there's a dev discussion at modaco)
Wicked. Just what i needed. Thanks for posting this (..and thanks to Parallax for the changes!)
What are game emulators? The name implies a peice of software which enables running various formatted console games. Or is it a console game that has be rendered to play on a multitude of devices. In which case, a more appropriate name would be game emulation.
is this worked for 6.1 pro erofich ?
The PicoDrive is an interesting app.
But isn't it possible to load ROMs from a SD card?
I can't select the card in the menu and with my 64 MB ROM there's enough memory for just 1 ROM.
are there any GB/GBC/GBA emulators for HTC diamond? i tried "PocketGnuboy_QVGA_08_01_06.zip" and i was able to config the keyboard for directional keys and game keys but every time i tap the screen (to launch keyboard), it always pause so i cannot play it anyway.
any other alternatives or solutions please....
i appreciate it thanks...
hahaha... i just found a keygen for smart gear...it's funny coz the keys are dependent to owner ID.

.NET Compact Framework 3.5
2.5MB free RAM
Features:
up to 6 timers or stopwatches

multilanguage (English, German, Spanish, Italian, Dansk, French, Greek, Czech, Polish, Hungarian, Russian, Lithuanian).
landscape support / sensor support with auto rotation
d-pad support
AppToDate support (download AppToDate here)
use your own notifications sounds (WAV only)
use your own icons (PNG only)
you can change graphics and colors (registry only HKLM\Software\M_G\TouchWatch2\)

Tweaks
You can find some more settings in your registry. HKLM\Software\M_G\TouchWatch2
S2U Users:
If you are using Slide2Unlock there might be a problem if you switch off the device while a timer is running. S2U forces the device to suspend, but the device have to be in unattended mode to work properly.
Take one of this possibilities:
1. Uninstall S2U.
2. or Never switch off the device while a timer is running.
3. or Try to configure S2U like this (settings taken from G-Alarm Homepage):
* Lock when screen is blank > off
* Lock when backlight turns off > off
* Power off in > off
* But blank screen only > off
* Blank screen on talk > off
* Please check those settings on both "On battery power" and "On external power"

nice!
great app and nice look! thanks! but i miss that feature of changing the background image.
I'm running it on a Samsung Omnia (i900) and here are some of my observations:
1. In portrait mode, the application is a little short of the 400 height
2. When I try to draw a line from the top down, the application throws out a "NotSupportedException" error message.
Otherwise, very practical application!
We've written a post about it: http://www.careace.net/2009/05/26/control-stopwatch-and-timer-on-the-touch/
what an awesome app, I was looking for something like this because I coach soccer. Thank you very much
looks good but gwatch works perfect for me already
hi
Just a note to let you know that this does not fill the screen on my HD it just treats it like VGA
Good ! Thks for sharing this tool !

(Today, i run with 2 separates tools... )

Damn, testet it on Touch and Diamond. Don't know why this happens. I wish I had an Touch HD to test it. Will try to fix it.
Thanks for all the feedback
Hi all,
I have tried to fix the WVGA fitting. Give it a try and test the 2.3 version please. I can't test it because I only have a Diamond.
Thank you very much.
Get it here.
I really like this program but unfortunately when i turn off the screen on my HTC Touch (CDMA), the timer stops working until I turn the screen back on and return to the program. It's like it stalls in the background and stops counting down. I installed it to my storage card rather than main memory. Could this be the problem?
Update: I uninstalled it and reinstalled it to the main memory, soft reset and tried it again. Now once I start the timer and turn the screen off, it makes one short vibration, no sound, no screen turning on, and the timer starts counting upward when the timer reaches zero. Once I manually turn the device on I can see the timer counting upwards and then it starts to vibrate and make sound normally while the timer continues counting upward... really weird. I want this program to work. I really like it. Hope you can reproduce the bug and figure it out.

Hi,
the windows mobile design don't allow to run timers when the device is switched off. There are some workarounds for this (like using alarms), but this isn't a good idea for timers or stopwatches.
You can switch off the screen if you want (there are some tools out there which can do this), but if oyu switch of the device, all timers or stopwatches will stop.
I have noticed that there is a way to run applications in an unattended mode. MAybe this will work. I'll try it.

Ok, found a way that you are able to suspend the device via power button. But the device will not be suspended really. Only the screen and lights are switched off. Timers will run in background and switch on the screen if timer is elapsed.
Will release it soon..
Nice work lopez1_de - this has real promise.
I don't know whether the various reports of issues with the screen sizing on WVGA pre- or post-date your release in whivh you thought WVGA was fixed, but it appears not to be. The screen still comes up with a 'gap' at the bottom.
Keep up the good work though!

Hi Gustopher,
thank you for testing.
Damn, how to get the proper screen dimensions on WVGA devices. C#.NET does not give the correct values for Client.Height I think. I googled so long to find the answer. No luck until now. ...

Yes, I did notice that with some programs. I do however use a timer program called simple timer which allows me to turn off the screen and then lights up and alerts me when the timer is up. Your program is much cooler looking though. Thanks for keeping at it.
OK, finally fixed the WVGA screen fitting. Many thanks goes to Gustopher for testing it.
For all developers:
And here the trick which allow to run things in background while device is "switched off". You have to set the power management of the device to unattended mode. If the user is pressing the power button, the device will not be suspended, it will be in unattended mode. You have to deactivate the unattended mode manually!
Code:
private const int PPN_UNATTENDEDMODE = 0x0003;
[System.Runtime.InteropServices.DllImport("coredll.dll")]
private static extern bool PowerPolicyNotify(int dwMessage, bool dwData);
I will release a new version very soon.
New release!
Version History:
2.32:
* Fixed WVGA fitting.
* Added support for switching the device off while timer/stopwatch is running
* Added S2U2 detection and automatic exception creation.

great app but the icons for the running programs is painted a little strangely on my device. I get 4 icons painted 2x2 for every program icon. I have an ipaq 210 and changed dpi with realvga, otherwise works great...
thanks.

yes wqvga not supported yet.
what resolution is wqvga? 240x480 or 320x480 ?... I will try to design it, I don't have wqvga emulator currently...
edit: Ok, I had wm6.5 emulator. WQVGA is 240x400, so I need to create one new image for skin with width 400, just wait a couple hours....

Yes that was the problem, the Icon size in GetSystemMetric will also changed if you change the dpi.. try to change it into 192dpi it should be ok...
EDIT: You can try RC2
one thing missing from most task managers is listing all running processes, can you please add this?

Sorry, I can't fulfill your request, because main goal of Showcase is not to become Full Features Task Manager. Showcase act as Task Switcher just Like HTC Task Manager.
It's not every time you need to check the process. Another Task Manager like FdcSoft Task Manager is more capable to do something like this. Just Install both Task Manager. Showcase for switching, FdcSoft for controlling.
What a nice Task manager!!
I just tried in my device but it doesn't work, surely for the 320x320 resolution.
Hope you'll release a skin also for square screen, soon or late.
Good work!!
Can you make open this program when you hold the x/ok button?
it will be more fast, on htc touch we dont have hardware button....
Ok RC2 Is Out... Support all resolution. WQVGA/WQVGA Landscape and QVGA Square.
- HAHAHAA 1 Day 3 releases....
About X Button I will try to code it now.. but it will on another process..

Nice app, it is what I was looking for. Just simple finger friendly task switcher. Just maybe if you can add some exception list in the future (for example I don't want to see Active Sync on task list).
Anyway thank you for this app
SimplePiano V4.3
SimplePiano with the SP_mickesjo WVGA Skin
As the name suggests it's a simple piano application. I took over "CrisRowlands SimplePiano" after Cris decided to give up developing it (Original thread). The main reason I took over is because I wanted to implement multitouch. I own HTC HD2 so my emphasize was on the WVGA format, but the application should also support VGA resolution. It should be pretty easy to create skins for other resolutions as well...
Features:
WVGA, VGA, QVGA, HVGA versions.
It has three octaves.
Record and Playback.
Dualtouch via the PinchToZoom events (not ideal but the best I could find...)
Customizable skins.
Customizable sounds (currently include Piano, Acoustic Guitar & Violin).
Currently in develop:
Continuous sliding of the keyboard view.
Change the skn files to support arbitrary number of keys.
CHANGELOG:
21.06.10(4.3)
Added two single finger chord modes (Major and Minor) - Requires special skin. I don't like this solution so I didn't follow it. If anyone is interested in this please let me know...
Added minimum note sustain length control (in milliseconds). If minimum sustain is not specified the full sample is played.
Added support for looping over the sample (by looping over the sample) Two samples can be specified, one is played once in the beginning, and the second is played over and over until the key is released. If the second sample is not specified the first one is used for the loop. This feature requires appropriate sound samples to be available.
Sounds are controlled via "Sound.lst" file. Different behavior of the notes (those mentioned above) can be controlled via this file.
Added OK/Cancel button to the settings dialog.
Vibration LED index can be now set via the "Device" tab in the settings dialog.
Polyphony can control to the "Device" tab in the settings dialog.
Fixed a problem where SimplePiano closed if an incompatible skin was chosen.
Fixed issue where bitmaps were not always clipped to bounds.
Fixed crash when sound file did not exist.
Changed applications icon (thanks mickesjo)
11.06.10(4.2) Added some exception handling during initialization and a vga skin for the Default skin. Fixed the link to point here.
10.06.10(4.0) Initial release including the new features (dualtouch, recording etc. as desribed in this post).

Some documentation
Some useful information about the *.skn files and the Sound.lst file.
The *.skn files
These files define the location of the different items on the screen. For each screen resolution the skin supports there should be one skn file. When a skin is chosen, SimplePiano search the skin directory for a compatible skn file and loads the skin according to its content.
here's an example for a skn file
Code:
Display=0,0,480,800
This line declare the target resolution of the skin. It is given in the following format: 0,0,Width,Height
Code:
Name=mewskin
The name of the skin, currently not used for anything.
Code:
Octave1=360,10,120,120
Octave1Image=OneNormal.png,OnePressed.png
Each key should include those two lines. The first line describe the location and size of the image, using the following format:
KeyName=Left,Top,Width,HeightThe second line points to the images to be used with this key. The following format is used:
KeyNameImage=NormalStateImage, PressedStateImageWhere KeyName is one of the following:
Octave1, Octave2, Octave3
Quit, Settings,
Record, Replay,
NormalKey1, ..., NormalKey8
SharpKey1, ..., SharpKey6All these keys must be specified.
NormalKey# stands for the normal note keys (C,D,E,F,G,A,B & C)
SharpKey# stands for the semitone keys (C#, Eb, F#, Ab, Bb & C#)
In addition the toolbar background has to be specified as well:
Code:
Toolbar=360,0,120,800
ToolbarImage=Background.png
unlike a regular key here only one image is supplied.
In addition the optional chord modifier keys can be specified (using the same logic):
Code:
ChordMajor=-30,0,60,60
ChordMajorImage=MajorNormal.bmp,MajorPressed.bmp
ChordMinor=-30,60,60,60
ChordMinorImage=MinorNormal.bmp,MinorPressed.bmp
The Sounds.lst file
This file defines the sounds to be used with the selected instrument. First of all it binds a note to a wav file. In addition different properties can be set for each note, as I'll explain below:
Code:
[1]
The file is divided into octave, currently there are 4 octaves (since SimplePiano also includes C4 &C#4). Each octave is titled with its number.
Code:
C=Data\C1.wav, Loop=0
Then, the sound files for this octave are given. The following format is used:
Note=FileName, Option1=value1, Option2=value2,...Note is one of the 12 notes in an octave. The following notation is used: C,Cs,D,Eb,E,F,Fs,G,Ab,A,Bb,B.
Then a relative path to the sound file is specified. Followed by a list of parameters and values pairs separated by comas. These parameters are optional. The following parameters can be declared:
Loop=#This specify how many times to loop over the sample (0 - plays the note once, -1 loop infinitely). If a non-zero value is given for a note, the note will be played as long as the key is pressed, once the key is released the playing will cease immediately. By default (if not specified) Loop=0.
MinimumLength=#This specify the minimum length (in milliseconds) a note is to be played. If this value is -1 the sample will be fully played. any other (non-negative number), the note will be played at leas this amount of time. For example, if a value of 500 is specified, every touch on the keyboard will generate a 500ms sound. If the key is held longer than 500ms the sound will stop when the key is released (or the sample reaches its end). The default behavior depends on the "Loop" setting: If Loop=0 MinimumLength=-1. Otherwise MinimumLength=0.
Good job man
Good luck with this
I don't suppose you could maybe send me a copy of the source code etc?
Maybe upload it & give me a link.
The main reason I wasn't able to implement these features is because I don't know how. It would be quite interesting to learn about how you did it
good job on significantly improving chris' already nice work

Thanks guys...
Cris... no problems, just let me tidy the project a little...
I love your simple piono 4.1. Now 4.2 should be better than 4.1. Thanks for the updated version...
OP, thanks for the APP. I look forward to future updates once more of the bugs have been knocked out!
Update: added a download link to the mewskin, this is nicer looking especially for the VGA resolutions (but also on the WVGA). Kudos to the author (xxmewstarxx)...
Just install the mewskin.cab after installing SimplePiano (no need to reinstall).
Z.
for now, I vote for default to 0 interval between multitouch keypresses, instead of 300ms
Not much of a big deal as you can change it yourself, yet if you already restarted to register multitouch, and you change that option later, you need to restart again
I am also thinking about spanning through more than 3 octaves, and a different method of changing the octave that lets you do that faster and more easily, will report back when I have a better idea
Nice!
Unfortunately the space on the screen ins't that much but if there was a way to "somehow" squeeze in and create spaces for Chord Symbols/Buttons and when these are being pressed, a chord is being played (a flat chords, an arpeggio). Said chord-sounds could be default-sounds distributed with the application or pre-recorded by the user. Something similar to those Casio-chords (or whatever they are called) which do the fingering for you. Another option could be that it played just the root of the chord so one could create some variety and a little base-line while playing the melody on the normal keyboard.
The problem, I guess, is surely the space on the screen and the limit of two touches simultaneously.
Just some thoughts....

Well, as for the 3 octave limitation, that could be easily broken, just that I don't have the sounds... If someone's willing to generate them I'll include them in the application.
About changing octaves I thought of two possibilities, one would be to just add two buttons at the end of the keyboard that moves one octave up or down. Another possibility is to create a slider above (or below) the keyboard on which you can slide left or right to change octaves. Sliding can also be continuous so that the first note is necessarily C. Such slider can also have some buttons to toggle chords buttons as tilleke suggeted...

I was thinking the exact same things regarding octave switching, more like automatic recognition, as in when you press a key near the border, the keyboard gets slided past the border of a X length to accomodate for the "direction" you're taking
And tilleke suggestion is very interesting.
Here's my take: just like you play two sounds together when you do multitouch, you don't need to really record a chord, you only need to play 3 sounds together.
Example, put a swith on top, with three positions:
1) Normal
2) Major chord
3) Minor chord
Then you press, say, C
Cases:
"normal" : the note C is played
"major" : the notes C E and G are played
"minor" : the notes C D# and G are played
THe switch would be a slider onr, because a toggle one (1-2-3-1-2 and so on) would take too long if you need 1 and you're currently on 2.
Glad to see somebody picking up on this where Chris left off.....
If you want more octaves I'd be happy to provide them.
Just out of interest, are the samples in this version the same ones from Chris' original version?

More samples can't hurt, but at the moment I'm trying to solve the chords feature...
The samples are the same ones from the previous version.

Totally awesome. Poor WM support. it seems like everyone writes off Windows platform as thou its limited, but if you had the support you show with this simple piano, the experience level and communication would be thought on a positive (note) about windows platform... GOOD JOB!!
Thanks zevele for the work!
xda member TWolf has a FlashPiano that he stopped developing. The program itself has a great sample of 4 instruments in mp3 form, but I don't know enough about music to rename them. Maybe somebody here can take a look and rename the files. Here's the link and source code from TWolf:

Seeing these applications on the iphone just depresses me... they run so much better than on the windows mobile...
Specifically to your question... If you mean playing several instruments in parallel, it shouldn't be to complicated to implement...
Okay, here's my idea for a solution for the chords feature, I've added two buttons below the keyboard one toggles a major chord and the other a minor. As all other buttons these can be moved and changed through the skin files. Please try it and let me know what you think...

Can this be hosted somewhere else? Rapidshare gives some of us problems and the the download limitation sucks. I can't download the v43beta after just downloading the v42 version. My suggestion is drop.io or dropbox... You can even use the free Skydrive for this.
Thanks for the good work...
