This one looks great ! Any idea if it's also working on HTC Desire?
I wonder if the optic "trackball" of the Desire is working as great as the N1 one, because on the video, it looks really playable
See you.
Zepiii.
Hello,
By example, for me, on HTC Dream, I have installed Quake 1 and Quake 2, they runs perfectly !
You can build from the source code :
Quake 1 : code.google.com/p/glesquake/
Quake 2 : sites.google.com/site/quake2android/
The source code for Quake 1 has been part of the Android source tree since the 1.0 days, and it's always compiled by default in the build. (But it's never installed by default.) So anyone with an Android build environment already has it on their system. I've attached the one I compiled recently, here. Rename the file to "Quake.apk" and install it using your file manager, adb, or whatever. You'll have to supply the data files yourself of course.
I've also supplied the config file from the source tree. Rename it to "config.cfg".
It goes into /sdcard/data/quake/id1 on your SDcard. That's also where you have to copy the pak file. I just tested this with the pak file from the Quake 1 demo.
You just need to use lha to extract the data files. E.g. see these directions http://tldp.org/HOWTO/Quake-HOWTO-2.html

I just tried your attached files on my Galaxy S2 - installing works fine but when I try to run it crashes immediately.
Quake 1-Recover APK from old Xperia Play?
I recently replaced my xperia play with another xperia play cuz I love it so much. I had Quake 1 installed on the old phone purchased from the play store back in 2011. The developer was Jack Niu (published his source code) and per my request he was able to release a version on 1-15-12 that made the touch icons disappear so I could play on my Xperia Play (with controls) and no touch screen icons blocking my view.
I still have all the pak files on my SD card for the game, however, the game has been removed from the play store and I cannot re-install. The only file I was able to recover was the "tk.niuzb.quake.asec" file from when I copied the SD card.
Does anyone know how to get this back to the apk file that I originally paid for and installed on my old phone? or is anyone willing to share apk that would allow me to play this without touch screen icons?
Taken one step further, I would be willing to make a substantial paypal donation for any developer willing to make this happen?
All I really want to do is be able to play Quake 1 on my Xperia Play without those annoying touch screen icons.
Thanks ahead for reading and hope someone can help me out.

We cannot share paid games, you will have to get someone who has bought the game to do a memory dump for you ........

Why doesn't someone just donate the money so he can buy a game? I'd do it but I'm buying a house.
How much does any multi-disk game costs? SE's PSX market is not available here.
The problem is... AFAIK, no multidisk game is available in the PSX market.

First, I can't access the store because I have the R800i and am in US. Second, it is a rule of mine to never accept donations until after a project is completely finished.

That's interesting to learn. My phone is an unlocked R800a that I'm using on AT&T. I installed the unlocked UK firmware on it and it now reports as an R800i in the "About phone" section. However, as of the last month or so, I can finally see games in the PlayStation Pocket app store. I wonder if it's using the IMEI or something like that to report to the store for the region?
If you use a User Agent String changer to match that of the r800a and use a proxy so that the website thinks you are in the proper country you can maybe able to download the games that way.
I can confirm this worked for the gameloft wapshop from my desktop. I have never seen where the psx games come from so I cant guarantee it, but it is worth a shot.
They're actually in the Android Marketplace. For the longest time, they were limited to Europe, but now they're available in the US. Perhaps it might be possible to purchase them from there and remote install them to the phone?
Again all that can be done with the ua switcher and a
Proxy in firefox. Android market is available via your browser. Could be worth a shot.

I'm sure there'll be no need to break a sweat about this.

I figured I earned it. I was for about 20 minutes the only unlocked R800x.
That felt pretty awesome.
So I have extracted ALL the encrypted files now, this means libdefault.so, image_ps_toc, and ps1_rom.bin. It was pretty hard because it was obfuscated in memory, but I got it using another, unorthodox method. Now, here's the weird thing. I can't figure out how the PS1 bios works. It's not a copy of any of the BIOS floating around the internet, in fact, it's not even the same format (all the bios that can be found on the internet have a similar structure). In addition, I still can't figure out what image_ps_toc is for. If anyone wants to take a look at these files for me (I've already decrypted them, you're welcome), PM me.
EDIT: I spoke too soon, I found out that the PS1 ROM is actually part of the PS2 BIOS. Yea, wtf. It seems to be using the PS1 emulator bios from the PS2, or something like that. Now, to find what the toc file is.

TOC maybe contains sub-channel data, known from original PSX CD-s, which served in copy-protection mechanism?
I've been trying to find some information on the PSX iso format, like what's at the different offset, where checksums are, where the executable starts, etc, but google isn't helping. Can you tell me more about this? If this copy protection thing is true, that means every game has a different libjava-activity.so. Could someone with another game pm me with /data/data/packagename/libs/libjava-activity.so where package name starts with com.sony and ends with the titleld? Also, Blagus, if you want, I can let you take a look at the decrypted toc files.

You may want to download original Crash PSX image in CloneCD format, which comes with CUE, IMG and SUB files. Check the SUB file size, if it's approximate to TOC fle, then it might be worth downloading it.

I made an image using CloneCD and looked at the subdata file. It's 25MB uncompressed and 4MB compressed. The TOC file is 67KB, so I don't think that's it.
maybe it stands for Table Of Contents.
sort of a way to keep track of all the files within the package.

It seems like a license or license check. I used the libjava-activity for another game, and it said could not authenticate the licensed content.
I read the whole section forum and people are side loading uncompatible apps, but no where does anyone explain "how to" side load an app can somenoe tell me, I have apps on my Galaxy 7in and they are not compatible with the Sony S running Android 3.2.1.
I want my Amazon app store, Pinger texting, words with friends and I have others too!
This is a new toy for me but disappointed that I cannot get these apps
Any help is appreciated!
It's easiest if you have ADB knowledge so you can pull apps from the galaxy tab and push them to the tablet s, but you can get the amazon appstore by going to amazon's website and it'll email you a link to the download. Also, I have words with friends on my tablet which I downloaded from the market no problems. Maybe with the latest tablet s update it is no longer marked as compatible, in which case we'll have to wait for the ICS update for a lot of the fragmentation problems to go away.
Put the .apk file from your Tab on your sd card, then you go into a file explorer type application on the Sony to find the file. Click on it and it should ask you if you want to install.
You should be able to download the amazon app store directly from amazon.com.
Also a nice program that will backup all your settings/files/apks is MyBackup Root, which will put all the apk's in one folder. However looks like the sony still hasn't been rooted?? I'm still waiting for mine in the mail.
Thank you
I am sure some of this is out of my league but I am going to take a shot at it. This is all new to me. I am technically challenged LOL.
I am going to go get the Amazon App Store though.
Thank you for the extra help

If you use Astro File Manager (I know plenty do) on your Tab, you can use Astro's built-in App Manager to backup the apk files from every installed app to a folder on your SD Card. Then just copy this folder to your Sony like any other file, then using Astro (or some other file manager) to click on the individual apps in that folder and choose install.
I backed it up
AGC 93
I really am technically challenged here, I downlaoded the Astro File system, and I backed up the programs I want but I don't know where I backed them up to, it didn't give me a choice as to where to back them up.
Then I dont know how to transfer them from one device to the other. I wasn't kidding when I said technically challenged!
Thank you
Sandy
you could also save apps on a shared drive and install from there using file manager or the same via dropbox, etc
Maybe?
Maybe one of you would be willing to walk me through this procedure from beginning to end and then I will learn it, but right now it is all a mumbo jumbo to me.
We can do it through PM if we don't want to clog up the forum or maybe there is someone else who needs the same help as myself
Thank you
Sandy
Would it not be easier to just use the normal Amazon web page rather than mess about trying to get an app to install? If it's anything like the Amazon iphone app, it's pretty useless anyway - certainly nowhere near as good as using the web page.
I should explain better
I really need to text so I need a texting program that works well with at least some options. Chompsms and Handcent do not work without a phone number and getting an answer from tech support from either of those is like pulling eye teeth,(sorry)
I found a texting program on my galaxy 7 inch that works wonderful and does have some options for larger fonts, a local phone number bubbles so you know who is talking blah blah blah, it is not compatible with Android 3.2.1 which is on my new Sony tablet,
I am trying to side load that and Have no idea what I am doing,
Plus when we get ICS does that mean some of the things that are not compatible now will be when we get that update?
thank you in advance for all the help

Sorry for the slow reply. By default, the apps we be backed up to a folder called Backup on the SD card. In there, there should be your apk's.
Hope that helps
Hey, guys!
Yesterday, I suddenly got a vibe, and felt like playing "The Big Roll In Paradise" game from Symbian60v5. So, I read an online tutorial to convert my SIS files to JAR files, and then those JAR files into APK files.
So, I got a JAR file of Real Football 2010, and tried to emulate it with a variety of Java emulators such as phoneMe, JBed and J2Me Runner. But still, the maximum I am able to reach is to the Gameloft logo...
Does anyone, *anyone* on here care about playing Symbian games on their Android phones? Would anyone be willing enough to take up the job?
I know I'll get flared by the experienced members for even asking such a question, but then, I'm really missing some of the Symbian games which aren't available for Android or iOS..
BTW, if someone wants to know about the source, here you go:
http://www.androidgyan.com/2011/09/run-symbian-sis-sisx-files-android.html
Bump-ity Bump! Could anyone please possibly help me? I'd highly appreciate it!
Hiya did you hear anything onthis? Ive been missing the big roll in paradise too! Shame its made by nokia and not another developer :-/
Nope... Nothing. It's a superb game. One worth paying a huge amount of money. Unfortunately, couldn't find a way around this... Do you know anything about it?
1. With your JAD & JAR files, go to: Get APK and convert to an APK file
2. Save your APK file onto your SD card
3. Install Java J2ME Runner App
4. Using AppManager, install the created apk file from your SD card
Your file should be found both in your main folder; as well as in the J2ME's "App Manager". You may need to play with the configuration to get the program to fit alright. I have Auto detect Game Canvas clicked; but have had to change it for a few games...
It's not perfect, but it seems to work alright with some of my old java games.
hello guys i have one problem with compatibility we all know that gameloft couldn't care less about supporting more devices and simply say "ask a refund" - which is not the way i'm gonna stop trying i have bought the game back when i had LG O2X, but now i have Xperia S which is not supported by default (odd, as cracked versions did - unfortunately i'm unable to play with cracked version anymore cause of update), so i decided to solve this by myself, i've managed to get Arc S data files pack from gameloft and decompiled it with third party tool to sd files and data files, moving them to according positions, but the game acts like there are no data files found, trying to download data files for LT26i, which, of course, fails, as there are no such data on gameloft server. is there any way to either trick the game to think it's running on Arc S or to properly setup the game manually including game data setup. thanks in advance.
2 mods: this is not "howto play stolen game" thread but "howto play legally owned copy on unsupported device" thread, but if it still break the rules, feel free to delete this thread and accept my apologizes. thank you.
problem solved... in case anyone wondering: open build.prop file in /system/ root...
then, find and modify following values:
Code:
ro.product.model=LT26i
ro.product.device=LT26i
They are ALLWAYS there, so do NOT create them in case you think they aren't, that might cause unforseen consequences including bootloop...
change them accordingly:
Code:
ro.product.model=LT18i
ro.product.device=LT18i
Reboot phone...
any application that checks those variables will think they are runnng on Arc S instead of S, allowing you to "forcibly download" data for Arc S in gameloft games, which, in most cases, will work on Sony Xperia S...
After the download it is safe and advised to revert values in build.prop to their original values, as it might break compatibility with other apps, relying on those values.
PS: you can buy the game by accessing gameloft mobile website (m.gameloft.com) and setting your device to Arc S, then you will see and be able to buy the game, it is even cheaper than via google play...
Hi guys,
I've just made the switch from iPhone to the Galaxy SIII and am loving the ride so far. I'm a big fan of the old school type games and have been reading up on how to play them on my new phone. Dosbox Turbo is the way forward I believe! So, I've downloaded the program as well as the manager. But I have one problem. How do I get games from my Mac (or PC) to work on Dosbox. As in, do I just hook up my phone and move the games into a created folder on it? Is it that simple? Also, what files does dosbox need to read? The ISO? As you can see I'm a complete noob in regards to anything Android currently and any information or a tutorial would be greatly appreciated!
Cheers!

DosBox Turbo Getting Started FAQ
If you've never used DosBox before, you should also read the DosBox Getting Started Wiki
Basically, you get the DOS games you want from the internet (GOG, etc) and then unzip and download to a folder on your SD card on your Android Device. Then using DosBox Turbo (or better yet, use the DosBox Manager and create a profile) start your game. Be aware that you may have to run the game's setup.exe utility to change the game's parameters.
Cheers for the reply. A follow up question though. Do you need an SD Card to run the dosbox games or can you use the phones internal memory? Also, if I have the original disc of the game I want to run (I've checked on dosbox to see if its compatible) can I just copy all the files from the disc and use those to run the game(s)?
Ok, so I have been reading up on DosBox and have tried installing and running a couple of games with little success. I thought if I tried running it on my mac first and then moving the files over to my phone once successful would be the best bet but I am still yet to get a game to work on my mac! Bah...
I've done a little hunting for DosBox Turbo guides and or videos but they seem to be very limited. I've also tried contacting the Dev but have had no reply in a week which a little annoying. Sorry to ask again but does anyone know of a tutorial I could follow to install a game via DosBox Turbo so I can follow and learn from it?

DosBox requires significant setup, and if you are a noob, you should also read the DosBox Wiki. Once you get DosBox Turbo setup properly, it works like a charm.
Here's a video on how to use the excellent DosBox Manager add-on. Here's a video on how to setup and use the Gamepad Keyboard.
Contact the dev again. He may have missed your e-mail. I'm sure he's getting many e-mails a day. He's always replied back to me quickly.
