Name: NES Emulator for Windows Phone 7

Instructions for loading rom files:

1) Sideload the app to the phone by dev tools or some other means
2) The app appears in the xbox live tab among with other games.
3) Roms are added by typing in an direct http url (ie. http://www.myhomepages.com/roms/somegame.nes) and clicking download, if all goes well the rom appears on the main listbox.
3.5) Zip files are not supported. Get that Rom directly somehow
4) select rom and click play

Gaming mode application buttons are pause/play, save, load and sounds on/off
Most of the nes roms should work.

Source: Me.

Download Link: http://www.cs.uta.fi/~tp79800/nes/Emu120.xap

update: updated xap url, but still same old emulator

i didn't get this. how does this emulator work?

if i sideload it, no app appears in my list. if i type in your site in the mobile IE theres just a big button with "download silverlight".

"tested" on HTC HD7

same for me. Is there anything in the XAP ?

Tuska · Jan 6, 2011

App or the emulator should appear in the xbox live panel where other games are.

It's really slow on my LG Quantum. @ First I thought it did not work, but my zelda rom must be corrupt ( or unsupported here ). It played super mario bro's just fine, just slow & no sound at all.

I dl'd it to my laptop, chevron-unlock ( 'cause my phone locks every 5 minutes or so ), tom's xap install. Put in the url to my nes rom, hit download, hit play & it plays.

Note: can ONLY be played in portrait mode. In landscape mode, the controller takes up half the screen, so you don't see much of the game screen.

recommendation: allow users to map buttons to controls in-game. ie, my Quantum has a nice slide-out keyboard so I wouldn't need the dodgy on-screen controller.

Damn that it's slow.

First priority should be to increase framerate to playable rate. Then the UI improvements.

Sounds are enabled by pressing the gearwheel button.

confused:
"Type in url to some .nes file of your choosing and click middle button (download)"
anyone elaborate on this?

Prophecy650 · Jan 7, 2011

i would also like to know how to do this

Tuska · Jan 7, 2011

You need to get .nes files to your device somehow.

Currently only implemented way is to download it to the device by typing in a direct link to a rom file ie. http://www.myhomepages.com/upload/mario.nes (imaginary link)

Upload your rom files to your own homepages or find some files online and use those links.

thats what i figgered i had to do. but still cant get it to go. keeps bringing up a error when i try to load the .nes...

edit: found out i can download the file if i rename it to 'rom.nes' (AKA case sensitive) but still gives a error when trying to play it.

edit edit: tried 5 diff. roms. all come back as "ROM was not valid"

I run it at my focus

1. Slow! just 40% NES Speed
2. No Multitouch control

Tuska · Jan 10, 2011

I added some ARM specific tweaks, let's see if that helps..

What's the framerate now?

jojo0821 · Jan 10, 2011

Samsung Focus, don't press sound button

The Key of Solomon
18~20 framerate
FF3
18~24 framerate

Press sound button
The Key of Solomon
16~17 framerate
FF3
16~17 framerate

But press the sound button can't hear Sound.

someanyoneelse · Jan 11, 2011

I get "The remote server returned an error: NotFound" when i try to download a rom. Interestingly though it worked once after I turned my WIFI on, but the rom was not valid

vagabond1 · Jan 11, 2011

Is there a rubric or something to tell us which romsets work? I've tried GoodROMs that I've had on my PC for ages and have played countless times on countless emus on countless devices.. etc, and this app throws back an 'unsupported' error.

Jaxbot · Jan 11, 2011

Tried it on my Focus and it worked fine; A little slow, as the others are saying, but the gameplay was smooth. Controls were a little slow to respond at times, but it worked fine all-in-all. FYI: ROM tested: Super Mario Bros NES

Gave it some attention here, also, a picture of it running on my Focus. Looks nice!

Easy way to get a URL

If you use DropBox you can quickly put a rom in your public folder and get the URI from the DropBox right click menu...
--------------
BTW, I'm the author of a SharpDropBox Client for .NET (over on CodePlex -- sharpdropbox.codeplex.com -- sorry not enough posts here to post an outside link) which is really just a client for WP7. I'm not sure if the author used XNA or Silverlight, but if he used the latter he could integrate my library to make it easy for those of us who can sideload to get stuff on the device. If not, I'm not sure if my library will work with XNA or not (I need to learn XNA and figure this out)

I'm hoping to give a talk on this at MIX this year (I'm actually working on creating a client library for a few other similar services for WP7).

Anyway, if he wants to get in contact with me I would love to give him a hand with this..

Next version is up, 1.1.0.

I hope for better framerate! and touch input should be more responsive now.

I also tried that dropbox api, but the login didn't work.

Shame on you having me do testing on the morning of my Birthday

Results in a minute....

Mario Bros 1 on previous ver: 23-29 FPS (about 38-49% speed)

wasn't able to test on new version, games that loaded in first version did not load at all in new version.. Seems even pickier than before...

tried 10 diff games from 3 diff sets. Same results

Tuska: If you can PM me and I can help with testing. I have a Dell Venue Pro and am experienced with using rom/emus
