I just downloaded FPse emulator for android and it is working with Wildfire as well.
Tried with Tekken 3, it works, slow, but works. May be I need to overclock a little more (currently 710MHz) to make it work reasonably.
Anyone else tried and which game working smoothly ?
EDIT: O.K. With CM7 RC1 installed without google apps, JIT enabled, overclocked @768MHz and only FPse PS1 emulator app with 15 fps skip setting (for android) installed (trying to simulate gaming ROM for HTC Wildfire), the following games are tested and found satisfactory run:
1. Tekken - found running O.K.
2. Tekken 3 - found a little slow (but playable)
3. Gran Turismo - found playable
4. Digimon world - To be tested (as reported by ms_green)
5. Moto Racer - Full Speed with sound (After enabling boost mode)
6. Final Fantasy VII - Full Speed with sound
7. Tony Hawk's Pro Skater - Full Speed with sound
8. Quake II - Full Speed with sound
9. Tenchu - Stealth Assassins - Playable with sound
10. Mortal Kombat 4 - Full Speed with sound
11. Moto Racer 2 - Full Speed with sound (After enabling boost mode)
12. Moto Racer World Tour - Playable
13. Mortal Kombat 4 - very smooth (40-50 fps) as reported by @Was3k
14. Pro Evolution Soccer - playable (20-25 fps) as reported by @Was3k
15. Mortal Kombat Trilogy - very smooth as reported by @karl23koch
16. Motorhead - playable (30 fps with JIT enabled, @730MHz, sound OFF & boost mode)
17. Metal Slug X - very much playable @40 fps as reported by @ziemjak
Additionally, switch to Airplane mode and enable Boost Mode from system.
I'll add the games in above list as I test them.
Note: Only one mode can be enabled at a time, either HLE or Bios mode (if HLE is not selected, it is bios mode) and in bios mode only, Boost Mode can be enabled.
Wildfire can't even emulate SNES at a reasonable speed, it's just not powerful enough.

Well to be fare snes is fine but I doubt that ps 1 will work good
Try digimon world. It works fullspeed on my legend. (without frameskip) ...some text is missing tough...
Final fantasy 8 is not fullspeed but payable.
The same goes for ridge racer.
(try using frameskip)

I have done few steps which makes FPse play faster:
- fresh Installation of CM7 RC1 without Gapps
- Only installed two additional apps: FPse (obviously) and SetCPU for overclocking (@768 MHz)
- Enabled JIT
- Stopped all background processes and put in Airplane mode
and in Fpse settings, set frameskip to 15 fps.
With above changes, I think, FPse is working fine for Tekken 3 (not very fast, but good).
Can anyone suggest what more can be done to speed up the games ?
I think we can have a CUSTOM ROM for wildfire only for gaming without any features like phone, message, google services, etc, etc, then only, Wildfire will be able to play PS1 games smoothly.
Anyway, I will test additional games on FPse and put the result here.
I think this is the best place to requiest a good gaming ROM for wildfire:
Anyone can produce CUSTOM ROM for Wildfire for GAMING only ?

If you're wanting to go to all that effort then why don't you buy a cheaper android mp3 player that has a GPU something like one of the archos ones, you can get them now for around £100 (roughly $150)
Such a Rom already exists. CM7 without gapps in airplane mode.
There's hardly any point of making a gaming Rom separately because it would hardly do much to speed up games. The wildfire suffers mainly because it lacks hardware, which can't be fixed by a rom.
Edit : I don't think most wildfire users bought it for gaming anyway. There are better phones for that.

I agree with you on that even when I purchased HTC Wildfire, I never thought it will be ever playing PS1 games. I tried PSX4DROID earlier, but it did not work for me.
As Fpse developer mentioned, he has made this even for ArmV6, which is wildfire CPU.
The point is, since I already have Wildfire now (I know I should have purchased high-end phone with double the cost of wildfire), and PS1 emulator is available for it, why not to get few games which can play decently on it. I think, the low graphic requirement games will play decently on it.
I tried Tekken, and it is playing decently, and as I mentioned earlier, Tekken 3 is playing a little bit slow (with frameskip 20), but still playable.
Edit: I think I may buy it on next payday, I would like to try out some turn based classics like Kartia.
Tekken isn't exactly low end.. its 3D... bad 3d I know lol but the geometry is all done via software on our crappy CPU. Try a 2D game. And RTFM, apparently you can tweak the configuration for better performance. Alas it is only a new emulator, maybe the dev's can future optimize the 3d software emu in time.
I'm curious though... how the heck can you put up with real-time gaming with all the buttons PSX has?!? I have a hard enough time playing Super Mario World on SNES with this touchscreen... its impossible! Though I guess a fighter game wouldn't be as twitchy hey lol

Hey, the newest version has an option to disable sound to get better fps. That will help wildfire users as well I guess.
Oh and about the touchscreen controls: you can map controls to hardware buttons like search and back.

Thanks ms_green for the info.
I confirm, with the latest FPse with sound disabled, the games are running a little bit more faster.
I tried this with Tekken 3 and also with Moto Racer, both are playable now.
There is another thing I noticed:
In some games, turning on boost mode makes a huge difference...(tony hawk 2 from 30 to around 45 fps) however it might break other games...(controls in ridge racer stop working)
To enable it, load the game and then go to settings, system.

@ms_green,
I am unable to enable boost mode, it says "IN BIOS MODE ONLY".
Can you please tell me how to enter in BIOS MODE ?
Get a PSX BIOS file and set it in the emu settings. Don't ask for a BIOS here, because that's piracy.
Thanks for the tip about boost mode. Yeah, I'm quite surprised by the performance! Legend of Kartia runs great, next I will try Alundra... so many good RPG and RTS games on PSX...

Just to avoid confusion: a BIOS file should look like this: SCPHxxxx.bin
Instead of xxxx there are 4 numbers. So you need such a file and then choose its location in system settings.

I figured it out. In System Preferences, I had enabled HLE mode and was trying to enable Boost mode as well. If HLE mode is enabled, Boost mode cannot be enabled.
@ms_green:
Where can I enable FPS to be visible on screen ?
Yes indeed, HLE = High Level Emulation, which is what you use to ignore the BIOS file if you don't have one.
On screen FPS? Its right there in Video settings... this laziness is beyond RTFM.... lmao...

FPS option is there in v0.10.10 and I was still in v0.10.9. So, now figured it out.
Thanks
I am unable to turn on boost mode. I turn off HLE mode, choose bios file, enable boost mode and when I go beck to the game I have black screen and after a while FPSE crash down.
Hi.
In several (paid) Gamloft HD games I see all or most white textures instead of buildings and characters.
I am with SG SII with Cognition ROM 1.08 and tried installing Chainfire 3D drivers but no luck.
Can anyone know how to solve this issue ? thanks...
Anyone ? any ideas ?
Happening to me too. Even with backbreaker games. If anyone can shed some light..?

Did you also install plugin , like tegra plugin ? and set it in settings ?
Do we need to? Even if they are not Tegra games??

Exynos has only very basic/standard texture compression , tegra games most of them just use better texture compression and there is no other special proprietary features , few games do but that is besides the point, some none tegra games can also utilize it.
Just load the plugin, also some games work better under different plugin like powervr ect. Trying only takes 10 seconds tops. OP should have mention what games he is having problems , i tried few GT racing works with tegra plugin for example, without plugin i get white textures.
I have a Galaxy S II as well and I'm on the stock rom and facing the same issue. Also tried installing Chainfire 3D from the market but it did not make a difference. phone issue?
Experts... please help!
I came across http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1087427
This genius Chainfire explains everything and also has a part solution.
We all know Wildfire is a bit (lot) on the slow side, but, surprisingly I was able to play and complete several PS1 games on it, yes 3D games, on Wildfire!
So far I played:
Playstation 1 (FPse):
*Gran Turismo 1 - played nicely, was able to win few races in simulation mode (if you played GT1, you know AI is a bit hard, even more in US and japanese versions). I'm big GT fan so I don't enjoy it if it isn't on wheel or joystick (got PS3 only for GT5 ).
*Resident Evil 1/2 - completed, very nice gameplay.
*Metal Gear Solid - stuck on electricity torture after defeating Sniper Wolf (can't press the button fast enough, but, no big deal, I completed the game 10ish times), nice gameplay overall.
*Tekken 2 - works fine, smooth.
*Twisted Metal 2 - nice gameplay.
*Few other games.
Super Nintendo (SNESoid):
*Mortal Kombat # - No problem, smooth, fun, got my a** kicked, though.
*A lot of other games, all played smooth.
Gameboy Advance (GameBoid):
*Pokemon: Fire Red Version - best game ever , playing it currently, smooth gameplay.
Note: Games were played on CM7/RemPuzzle Lite, clocked at: 528-748 MHz with ondemand governor (PS1) and 352-691 MHz, again, ondemand governor (SNES, GBA).
So, did you play any game? If you did, share it!
Gameboy Advance:
Castlevania: Aria of Sorrow
Castlevania: Harmony Of Dissonanace
Pokemon Emerald
Zelda: a Link to the Past
I have also tried Need for Spped Carbon for the GBA, but it's really laggy once you try to use multitouch (multiple controls at once)
Are you running overclocked or stock?
Wow blast from the past. This was the whole reason I rooted my phone to start with back in the day,so I could o/c and kick ass on tekken3. No place on my phone anymore for games but loved that period/phase I went through.
Fspe served me well, but I think it was a little awkward to understand at first if I remember right.
Sorry ramble over.lol
Tekken 1,2,3
Hogs of war
Lots of others but can't remember.
it made sense in my head !!!
I played tiger snes/ GBA. sound is so laggy; have to turn off the sound ?
I also clock to 328- 729. on demand. it's doesn't help.
Hey Can anyone advice...how to activate and where to download these emulator games...

1. Download the emulator application, e.g. GameBoid.apk is for Game Boy Advance
2. Download the BIOS (http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/BIOS), to simplify, the thing that makes the emulator application think your phone is a Game Boy Advance, Playstation or whatever.
3. Dowload the actual game and enjoy
I cant supply you with links because this is kinda considered warez, but i will send you everything in PM if youre interested.

Well, only some emulators require special bios, those do "heavy" emulation, simply, if you want to play game boy advance, google gba bios, it should be in .bin format. Download it and copy to sd card, then, start the emulator application and it will ask you to locate bios, just navigate to the .bin file and select it, done.

Is there any Android nintendo DS emulator? if exists, how is named, and how can i use it? thx
Thanks
it seems like wildfire can handle every gba/snes/genesis game, but on fpse:
diablo - laggy
tomba - laggy
harvest moon - found running good at 50 fps, lol
medievil - laggy still, sometimes is playable..
Chrono Cross - laggy
CM7 build 57, 652-768 mhz on smartass, is really there anything to improve gaming perfomance on this device?
FPSe on the wildfire with no gpu? How is that even possible! Is it all software rendered?
I tried FPse emulator, I tried both Resident evil and Gran Turismo 1.........
I faced problems on both games.......
I have the Digital controls set, But On resident evil i couldn't attack the zombie, I pressed all the keys but no use...... On gran turismo, I couldn't get the car to run, Which key to use.
And Can we use the touch panel to control the games, It would be awesome.
And what other games can you play on it.... Please help

i dont know what could be the problem, when i was playing all touch keys worked just fine, you should disable the sound im fpse though because sound is performance killer. id try different version of fpse first, then try to fix it if it doesnt work.

Oh I can drive the car on Gran Turismo,.... It was because the Gsensor driving was on, so it drove backward when I pressed the key........ Everything else works good.
They say you have to press the R1 to aim and X to fire.... but it only works sometimes.
so I can't use a knife on resident evil, and on landscape there is no R1, R2, L1, L2, how to fix that?
Hi all,
I have fpse for my galaxy note, with standard settings ff7 looks pretty dismall.
I downloaded opengl and it caused nothing but problems, crashes,bad frame rates etc.
I purchased chainfire 3d and downloaded the plugins (my phone is rooted) no matter what settings I apply in chainfire it makes no difference to any game in fpse whatsoever. I tried nvidia,powervr and qualcomm with no joy at all.
Night mode is not even working.
I am using a galaxy note gt-7000.
Any help would really be appreciated, been at this for days
Anyone?
Chainfire3D
Did anyone use it in this forum? If used, any performance gains or any issues faced?
Please reply...
ChainFire let you run specific graphical apps (like games etc.) but its not for video perfomance boosting at all It emulates shaders processing, so you could run Tegra or PowerVR games on Snapdragon devices. Using with SK17i, no bugs, all works fine.
Hi
I had it for some times (but never used a proper game to test it).
I just remember that I had some GUI graphc elements really stretched and messed up, did not know why...
I uninstalled Chainfire3D driver and all turned normal...
Ok, thanks for the info. Yeah, I just wanted to know that if it boosts performance or not. .
Depends en the game, if it's Hd or heavy,you can reduce the graphics and play games very heavy and incompatible with ours devices
