Default SmartPhone Game Emulator For SmartPhone

I was looking for Emulator(GameBoy/GameBoy Color/Gameboy Advance) for Smartphone and i found a lot of others that does not work or there is no option for me to change the resolution because it is too small.

Finally i found a post from modaco that work on my cingular 3125 wm5/wm6/wm6.1

I believe it also work on older OS like wm2003

Hi everybody,

I've been hunting on the net for good console emulators for the smartphone and came across PicoDrive and PocketSNES. Unfortunately neither of these emulators worked properly on my C550. So I decided to try and fix it so I could play my favourite games on my phone.

The biggest change is probably getting it to work at QVGA resolution, which was a definite improvement to the postage stamp size window. After much tinkering, I think I've reached a milestone and am happy to share it with the rest of the community.

Disclaimer: These programs have been tested on my C550. I hold no responsibility for any damage caused by running them on your own devices.

Full credit should go to the following people for original conversion to smartphone. Please provide donations to the relevant developers for their efforts, so that more projects like these remain open source and free to everyone.

PicoDrive (original source) by Dave @ finalburn.com
PocketSNES (original source) by SpaceMonkey
PocketGNUboy (original source) by ???
MameCE3 (original source) by Techmaster
PocketNester (original source) by Rick Lei

Fixes/Tweaks:

Update: Now works on all smartphones including QVGA screens

PicoDrive (Genesis) Attached File PicoDrive_QVGA_19_01_06.zip

-QVGA compatible in all screen modes. (Portrait/Landscape)
-Integrated FileDialogSP.dll by STomski for ROM file selection.
-Game save/restore options
-Added key configuration screen
-Portait mode now uses full width of QVGA screen
- No sound

PocketSNES (Super Nintendo) Attached File PocketSNES_QVGA_04_01_06.zip

- QVGA compatible in all screen modes. (Portrait/Landscape)
- CPU cycle adjustment to increase game speed (lower value equals faster emulation)
- Game save/restore options
- Integrated FileDialogSP.dll by STomski for ROM file selection.
- Fixed screen freeze on startup.
- I have provided two version of the app in this archive. Version 1.43 core app will have better compatibility but will only work on QVGA phones. If you have trouble running this please refer to 1.39 version.
- No sound

PocketGnuboy (Gameboy Color) Attached File PocketGnuboy_QVGA_08_01_06.zip

- QVGA compatible in all screen modes. (Portrait/Landscape)

- Sound enabled

MameCE3 (M.A.M.E) Attached File MameCE3_QVGA_25_01_06.zip

- This is a fairly cut down version of the full Mame32. It supports 200+ games but can be enabled for more depending on hardware emulated.
- To "OK" the legal notice screen use LEFT->RIGHT directional keys
- Added key configuration screen
- Fix default mame key quirks
- Game screen now shrinks to display size. Some games may be difficult to view on low-res phones.
- Menu option to turn auto scaling on/off
- Improved screen scaling but still a bit slow.
- Use * and # to adjust frameskip rate.
- Added option to refresh game list
- Sound enabled - but nothing to get too excited about.


PocketNester (NES) Attached File PocketNester_QVGA_14_01_06.zip ( 138.47K )

- QVGA compatible in all screen modes. (Portrait/Landscape)
- Integrated FileDialogSP.dll by STomski for ROM file selection.
- Game save/restore options
- Added key configuration screen
- Extended Sound options
- Sound enabled

There have been changes to the HTC hardware to disallow volume/record/camera keys to be used as game buttons, please stick to the keypad when redefining your own to avoid problems.

I would appreciate some feedback on your experiences with these emus, whether good or bad.

Please send enhancement requests to the original developers as I have no plans for doing any more updates to these programs.

Enjoy!

The best emulator I've seen is SmartGear. It has support for NES, GBC, GameGear, Genesis and a couple others I think. It's going to have SNES support really soon apparently too.

The only problem is it's not free, but it works so well and with unlimited free upgrades, I think it's worth it.

What are game emulators? The name implies a peice of software which enables running various formatted console games. Or is it a console game that has be rendered to play on a multitude of devices. In which case, a more appropriate name would be game emulation.

The PicoDrive is an interesting app.
But isn't it possible to load ROMs from a SD card?
I can't select the card in the menu and with my 64 MB ROM there's enough memory for just 1 ROM.
