Hey all..I'm sure somebody out there has ff7 running nicely on their nook color and I was wondering what were the right settings to use, as well as BIOS? I got it working but the sound is out of sync and the grplaphics are super blocky if the screen size isn't tiny.. thanks in advance!
I can sort of get FFIX to work.. but I think at this point we need a stable 2.2+ ROM with the hardware acceleration enabled to get a smooth experience with the emulator
I'm able to run ffvii but the sound is slooooow. Im pretty sure the blockyness is because you're playing a game designed to run at 320x240 stretched to a high resoluton. Any rom improvements wont fix that.
Dont play ff, but with other games on psx4droid ive noticed that earlier versions of the emulator are much faster. If you happen to have a backed up apk of a pre "v2" version it will run in general much faster....probably at the cost of compatibility and various features etc but ive had no problems
Psx4droid 1.7 plays ff7 very well on both nookie and stock b and n OS. I played all the way to the temple of ancients on my nook

Is that with Antialiasing turned on and also sound?
I was able to get my more current version to run great when I turned those features off, but of course it would be much better with sound..
FF VII Nook Color psx4droid 1.7 running great! 2.1 was laggy

Finally got around to finding the 1.7 and boy what a difference.. Near perfect in every way..
Plays Destruction Derby without a hitch!
I have 1.7 but when I try to load roms it goes black for a second then back to the select screen. I've tried several Roms to no avail
Anybody know why?

This does happen to me...The only way I can fix it is to completely shut down the Nook, then turn back on again..
Rebooted and downloaded new BIOS file and now its working.. need to get BT up and running before I can really play any games I'm interested in though
//from the nook COLOR
I know others have discussed this, but I was wondering if anyone can help. The game won't play because of the intro.mp4 file. It appears too high of a resolution. If you convert the file to say 720x400 the file will play but the game will notice the size being incorrect and re-download. I was able to create an empty file with the same bytes and drop it in the folder. Now this file was not a playable video file however the game did not try to download the changed file this time.
Conclusion, if someone knows how to create an intro.mp4 file that will play on the nook and that is exactly 30,624,735 bytes; in theory it should allow the game to play. I have tried a handful of different utilities and can't seem to accomplish this.
The same thing happens with Dungeon Hunter and Asphalt 5. I, too was able to successfully convert the videos in a size/format that the NC liked. The games detect their not the original and replace them with the non playable video. I gave up because I wanted to play the games instead but I'd be grateful to any one smarter than me that figures this out.

What version of the game are you tryin to run? motorola, htc, whatever. I did try a version that ran the intro mp4 fine but the game hung afterwards during the loading process.
Haha so I've had to use this site back in the day to get extensions on a couple papers... you can enter a file size and extension, so maybe it would work? At work so can't test it out but hope it works. It's called "File Destructor 2.0" it doesn't look like .mp4 is one of the extensions you can pick, but I can't imagine it wouldn't work, worst case I'd think you could pick like .avi and just rename it, but I don't think it should matter at all.

Well no go. Got the video to play then it just ends. I was able to convert the file with HandBrake, then used fsutil to create a dummy file to make up the rest of my size. Then appended the padding to the end of the video with copy from a dos prompt.
Tried this same thing Spider-Man and now my logo plays at the first of the game. Kind of nice not having that box popup.
If anyone really wants or needs all the steps I can post that.
When I launch dungeon hunter it tries to play the video but I get a pop up that says the video cannot play. I click ok and the game runs fine after that...

True. However, the point of this thread is to actually see the video / not have to press that Ok button.
BTW, how do you "click" on a a touchscreen? LOL

and were you able to play the game? are you on 1.1?
So, did anyone get Let's Golf 2 working and actually play it? I've tried the Galaxy Tab version, then it crashes back to the launcher almost immediately after downloading the required files...

Yes Spider-Man plays just fine. I'm on 1.1.0.
I actually managed to get let's golf 2 video to play once, but then crashed )I think it was played with rock player) - version for galaxy tab. Spider Man says the video cannot be played and moves on to loading the game, every single time. With Sandstorm however, it's a hit and miss - sometimes it loads, sometimes goes back to the launcher.

It's the version for the Galaxy Tab 3.0.8 I believe.
Just tried a new version v3.1.6 and same thing happens... downloads the files just fine, then can't play video, then crashes to the back to the home screen.
Anyone have any success?

excellent, u.b.d.man...
Has anybody had any luck running gameloft games. I can get asphalt 5 to work along with BIA and modern combat 2 but not the others. I want to run ganstar Miami, Spiderman, and ft racing but they wont run tho they install the extra data just fine. I'm on cm7 rc4.
What rom are u using if u are able to play them?

Could you tell me how you did it? NOVA looks great and I'm eager to try it on my autonooter rooted Nook.
What version are you using to get Nova to run fullscreen, I can get it to run but the hole game runs 1/4 screen.
how about lets golf 2?
The way I got MC2 was just by emailing the one I downloaded on my epic from their site to my nook. It installed and worked great.
Asphalt 6 HD works perfectly on the Nook Color.

I concur (hit or miss sometimes), I've got Dungeon Hunter HD and Hero of Sparta to work on CM7 v.33. And at times, I get the same scenario when it launches and I download the data, click on the game and it doesn't work. I'm currently running NookieComb, and they both work on that as well. Good luck.

I have the same issue with Spiderman. Im running CM7 RC4. Game installs and when I go to run it crashes right away when trying to play the opening video. Looking at the Gameloft folder on SD card I found the mp4 video and was able to play it in rockplayer but noticed it was 1024 x 600 which I think nook cant play natively? I took the mp4 file and ran it thru handbrake into a format nook can handle and pushed back to sd card however when I went to run the game I think it checks the file size as it asked me to re download the 13meg mp4 file again from gameloft.
It probably just checks the CRC to make sure it's the same file. I believe this can be spoofed.

I have tried manipulating the files too..
the odd thing is I was able to run Asphalt 5 once before and it has never since. The graphics are incredible LOL, so I want it back.
Need to find away to get passed the first video. I copied the Gameloft file from my phone to the Nook to see if it was any different and still no go..
well i re encoded the video (that was the easy part) and checked its okay and runs just fine on the nook. Looked around about the CRC thing and used PEiD with CRC32 plug in and got the CRC value from the source original mp4 file. Used that value and applied it to the new re encode video via PEiD. Value took but still doesnt pass some Gameloft check. Fails and wants me to re down the file.
I posted something a month or so ago about this very issue. I thought it was why my games weren't playing also. You can reencode the video but then you'll have to pad it to the exact size as the original. I was able to get the videos to play but then the game would still crash after that anyways.
Hi.I wish we post the list games tested in using rom.
Exp: I'm using Utimate droid ,games and apps tested is:supper mario ,angry bird,nes game(for rom classic nintendo,you can play very more game:contra,mario,lode runner,ninja......),HD paint kids,........not try asphalt 6
Tks all.

3.1.2 on Nookiecomb 0.4.2.
I think it has to do more with rom (cm7) than anything. I just saw a video on YouTube of a Guy playing Spiderman on his nook. Didn't say what rom he was using tho
Recently converted to CM7 RC4 and having the same issues as above.... came from nootered 1.1 with pretty much all gameloft games running, but so far I've only gotten Asphalt 5, BiA2, and Nova (non-GTab version) to work. Gangstar, Sandstorm, Fishing Kings, Let's Golf 2, and more all immediately crash upon start.
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 !!!

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.

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?
Hello guys,
Now I have Android running on my TP, I really like the look of playing Mario 64 and other old games. Could anyone share info with me on what emulators are good and how to actually get them working on the TP? I downloaded N64oid v2.6 to my PC, but don't actually know how to get it installed on my TP.

What's it do mate? I read it's a driver for the GPU - Does it make a difference with all gaming emulators and games?
EDIT - Downloaded it (Not the PRO version) and it doesn't really make a difference. Does the PRO make the difference?

I'd like to know why as well. I thought this is heavily based on CPU performance as it is emulated software.
I find that with Chainfire3D and the Adreno2xx drivers installed, N64oid runs perfectly with no hickups. Even the most intense scenes in Zelda Ocarina of Time runs flawlessly at high framerate.
