iI can't set the emulator to the Games Hub cause the AppHub ask about PEGI certification (and other different certifciation) on certain countries.
I'm sure you can. Nudua had no trouble putting his NES emulator into the Games hub...

You should ask Nudua what settings he used during submission so you can get your emulators into the Games hub too.

the Apphub has been modified few weeks ago with this feature.
May be Nudua does not have this problem because this feature wasn't exist before.
Anyway, I'll ask him ;)

I manually edited the genre to games in the WMAppManifest.xml;
Genre="apps.games"

I don't think they alter that part of the manifest, but I may be wrong.

I also skipped Brazil and South Korea because they require rating certificates and it's far too complicated to get them for these countries. Other countries doesn't require the rating even though u may supply one.

Imo the rating system is completely pointless.

Hi Nudua,

Genre="apps.games"

PurpleCherry & BlueTomato have already this settings.

I guess not.

No problem with UK ?
I've already apps downloaded from Brazil and it's not fair to unsupport this country for a game certification reason.

This is the page on how to obtain the certificate for Brazil: (It's in Portuguese..)
http://portal.mj.gov.br/classificacao/data/Pages/MJ6BC270E8PTBRNN.htm

And here's the one for South Korea: http://www.grb.or.kr/english/default.html

There's a 7 step process that has to be gone through for the South Korean one.. and opting out of the games category for just two countries is not worth it.

If there's enough demand I might submit a version to only those countries that show up in the normal category, but that's not really a great solution either.

I've never had any issues with the UK.

I'm from Brazil and I totally understand why there is so few games in Brazil's Game Section of the Marketplace. I agree with Nudua, it's a pain in the a$$ for the developer to submit a game here with all that bureaucracy required.

But as a consumer from Brazil, I have to thank a lot Samuel Blanchard for submitting the Purple Cherry as an App and not as a Game, this is the only fast and easy way for us here to get the games without a lot of pain for the developer.

I know that it's much more cool to have the game in the Xbox game Hub, but I prefer have the game out of the Xbox hub than not have the game at all!

Samuel Blanchard, thanks for supporting Brazil, I was one of the buyers of Purple Cherry from here and will soon buy blue tomato also. :4 )

Nudua, I have already played with your emulator using a student developer account and the Phone7Market program found here in XDA and it is great! I'm sure people here in Brazil will love to play your NES emulator also, if you put a version of it in the app section too. NES is very popular here.

I would just like to say thanks. Both Purple Cherry and Blue Tomato are awesome..

Does anyone know if it is possible to transfer you saved games over from Warios Jewels to Purple Cherry if you are using the same ROM? I know its a long shot..

Just updated to v1.1.0

There's now an "Activate sound" checkbox, but it doesn't do anything :confused:

Very nice work! So far it works amazingly. One little issue. I don't know if it is the rom i'm using or not, but from reading previous feedback i don't think it is my rom. I am playing Pokemon Blue, and when I "die" (All my pokemon faint), it goes to a black screen but then stops there. I have to then do a reset and go back to my previous save that I did in-game. Any reasons for this?

Otherwise amazing job and keep up the good work.

You did a really great job with this App! Thank you for your great contribution to the hombrew-community.

I have a question: What about exporting the saved files? Like, what if I want to continue the game on PC or on another WP where I have Purple Cherry installed? Is there any way to export the Save-Files?

Thanks in advance and keep this up!

Just bought the emulator earlier. Have to say it seems to work quite well.

Though one thing I found weird about the trial, before actually buying, is how all the options were still available, skydrive login showed up and just closed and similar.

Was quite confusing actually. Would have been better if there was a message to the user when they try to set a feature not available in the demo, that it's indeed not available.

I can see it confusing a lot of people into thinking it's buggy.

Just save states every so often and make copies of them. That's what I do and it works out well.

This just got updated to v1.2 :D

Good news is that it seems faster than ever, and now allows sprites to use their own color pallet.

The bad news? Still no sound emulation :confused:


Also, it looks like he tried to add the GameBoy Color default pallet (named "Left Blue" in the pallet list)... but the colors are all off a bit. It looks far better, but still doesn't look right.
Edit: Comparison between "Left Blue" and the GameBoy Color default pallet:

It's very close, but the background blue color is WAY off. If that were fixed, I'd be very happy with how games look on this emulator :D

    III. Webserver

    • Use a Webserver (HFS, SimpleWebServer...) to "mount" your repertories (Roms & Covers) and the GameList.xml

    There is what you have to to to create a GameList.

    Afterwards - Upload your "Covers" and "Roms" folders to a webserver, as well as the GameList.xml

    Then just enter this URL in the Game Settings. Et volià.
