Gameboid Emulator - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Does anyone have this working on their galaxy s2? Or any other working GBA emulator. A link/how to install would be nice including your BIOS.
(I know that it was pulled from the android market)

A quick search indicates it works fine.
http://www.google.com/search?q=site:forum.xda-developers.com+gameboid
Returns, amongst others (which appear to happily link the emulator and bios file) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1265791

Since it was removed from the android app store, do you know what is the latest version of this emulator?

Don't much like searching eh? Well, from a quick look, 2.4.7 would appear to be the latest version.

working and fully functional. thanks everyone!

Mind helping me sharp2G
I am currently having the same problem you had...
Do you mind explaining what you did to get the emulator working.
I went on getjar.com and the emulator isnt there anymore.
I get that black screen when I try loading a rom, I've tried various things and nothing works.
Thanks

O_O wait 5 seconds and a download link appears. you don't need to click save as.

Same here... They're still downloaded as .htm files no matter how long you wait. I don't think you can download them directly from the phone. So you'll have to download them from a computer first I guess.

[Q] Should Modern Combat 2 HD work on SGSII?

Hi,
I installed Modern Combat 2 HD from Samsung's Games Hub and it crashes after downloading all of the extra 249MB.
I tried to use Chainfire's CF3D driver with NVIDIA plugin but it didn't work as well.
Does this happen to anyone else?
I bought this game today and it runs fine on my Stock Galaxy S2.
I have the game as well and it runs fine on my phone :/
I had issues running it, got force close errors all the time. Someone on another thread posted a work around.
Try to open it, after you get the fc dialog, click ok to get rid of dialog then hold the hardware home button for a couple of seconds. A list of recently opened apps will be displayed. Find the game here and open it. Should work from here

I will try this in a minute.. I will update this post if it works.
What Build number is everyone using? I am currently on KE2. It could be a bug that is build specific.
I'm running KE7 and this workaround works for me.

No worries brother glad to be of assistance... i can't take the credit for discovering the workaround but happy to pass the knowledge on
Er, why not just buy it at the Market? The version there is fully compatible with the SGSII, I have it on mine.
I bought it from Samsung GameHub. Everything there should work perfectly.

I don't really understand this comment? What's the difference between buying it on the market or off the Gameloft website?
It was available for £1 on the Gameloft website, which automatically picked up that my phone was an SG2... surely it should be fully compatible with SG2 if they are making it available to owners of the phone on their website?

Thanks for the info Kenn! So if we don't want to wait for the worldwide release, is it okay to just use one of the downloads you provided? Will it just install over my current market, or will I run into some problems?
Keeping us Atrix users up to date and informed. kennethpenn is the man!

its not your signal, it wont even download for me over verizon mifi. the download just sits there with "downloading..." nogo.
I got my Evernote download to finish after several tries, and even downloaded a couple games. I'm not sure, but someone who hasn't updated yet should test their market right now. Could there just be an overload due to a bunch of people rushing to try the new market?

Just some clarification - I couldn't use the Sideloading Wonder Machine to install this as it is already installed on my phone, so to get it to install, just push it to the phone or put it on the SD Card (internal or external), and use a file explorer to install it. It will ask if you want to install over the existing app, and obviously you want to.
Works like a charm! And by charm, I mean slow as crap right now, but that's cool, it's not even supposed to be out yet.... Thanks Kenn!

[Q] This app is incompatible with all of your devices.

I went from stock S2 rom to MIUI and so far loving it. However, and this is just a query really, the other night I downloaded GTA 3 from the market.
Now, on MIUI when I browse the market, its not there. Going on the website, it states "This app is incompatible with all of your devices." Well, yes it is.
I know I can prob download it elsewhere, but I paid for this.
Is this cos of the MIUI rom confusing google?
Also, as a bonus question, how can I get a list of all the apps I installed recently.
When I check googles market website, it lists only 3, and I've downloaded like 30.
GTA III will show not compatible with Galaxy S2, no matter what rom you used.
You can download the apk from others. I downloaded it and haven't got any problem so far (Just sometimes the game is force closed.)
For the installed app, I think it will show only the paid one. Mine doesn't show the free app in the previous installed. (Not Sure bout this)
EDIT : Clarify my word a bit
It runs....saw it on drippler
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App
The thing was I downloaded this from the market in the first place. It must of been compatible to let me download it? Because on this market its gone. It like they pulled it.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App
I think something is wrong, tried to download the natwest app and that's also missing from the market. This MUIU seems to be causing issues which is annoying because I love using it. Any ideas?
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App
I don't think problem is with your Rom. I am using lightening Rom and I have the same problem with some apps I downloaded from market. Maybe its because the newer versions of those apps miss something to be compatible with galaxy S2 or maybe its a market glitch.
sent from my 'Samsung Galaxy SII'
Its odd. They dont show up on my phone by going to the market on my pc just says it's not compatible. I guess the only way ill know is going back to my rom backup and see if it works.

Some apps are just not compatible with your phone ( GTAIII is an example, the developers haven't optimized it for SGSII ). You can still download any of those .apks elsewhere, and install them , chances are they won't work ( GTAIII does in fact work , if not by default , then by using chainfire3D). It's not, i repeat, it's NOT a bug in the market , or a bug in the ROM.
Edit: Solved it.

hey, how did you solve this? been at it for weeks no soltuion
And suddenly I can't update Go SMS Pro (v4.33) in my Black i9100 (suddenly says incompatible) while it's normal on my fiance's White i9100.
Both international version, same ROM same installed programs inside, configuration, and version.
This once happeneded to me, maybe your DPI is not compatible with market giving you the error. If its changed return it to the value of 240
Nah, I never mess with DPI settings. Its suddenly like that.
Yesterday I can see it in the market and when it requested to update I just decline it because I wasn't in wifi area and decided to update it today but it now says incompatible. Weird...
While in my fiance's i9100 it downloaded perfectly.
And the build prop is stock. Also here's my config:
XWKL1 stock odexed ROM & Siyah v.12 kernel.

what is this jichuan root? i have never seen it anywhere. please provide a link to it. As for your apk not working... there might be a license check issue or something.
btw this should probably be in the themes and apps section, but i'll let the mods decide that...

you should be able to find out the version by going into manage applications under settings->Applications.
just tap on the app itself and there should be a version number under the name of the app.
i am using 1.1.38 and it works fine with me.

Gingerbread? This is the Galaxy Tab 10.1 forum.. We never had Gingerbread.. But I'm pretty sure that Xbox App needs ICS or higher anyway.
