ITS HERE!!! SNesoid!!!! (SNES Emu)

Nice.. thanks for the update. I'll probably pick this up at some point (I wish I had more space on my phone.. I'm getting low). I'm a little dissappointed to hear about Zelda... because that is that game I was planning on playing the most! I'll probably get it anways though. :) So many great SNES games out there.

And thanks Swizz for the update on the ROMs.. that makes sense. I was actually surprised when the demo came with a ROM.. I was wondering how he got away with that.

dont get me wrong, zelda works great. but when ur dealing with emulators, they dont display the game the same way a consold would. I forget the exact term, but it is not being applied with this emulator for whatever reason.

A good example would be, on SNES emulators for your computer, for the game Final Fantasy 2/4j, when you are in the Cave of Mist, you would have to toggle the option to turn the mist on and off in the cave via the emulator, becuase the emulator could not render the mist the same as a console. thats is what is happenind with zelda, expect you dont have that option with the emulator on Andriod.

if that made any sense lololol.

If can go by memory and manage to get into the dungeon, then the rest of the game should play fine...with the expection of some other areas that make use of rain/fog. like Death Mountian, and the swamp in the dark world are 2 spots that come to mind that might be hard to navigate.

I still have more testing to do, but as luck would have it, it is a very busy day at work.
 
Starfox doesnt work right at all, did test a couple of others that i would most likely play and they worked fine.
 
I tested a few more games out last night. They all worked great w/ and w/o sound. I still can't find a working copy of super mario rpg tho ;;

Mega man x
Mario all stars jp version (better than usa imo)
Zombies ate my neibhors (big props on this one since it would not work on Gensoid)
Super metroid
Tmnt 4

Still waiting on that update tho lol.
 
anyone know about rom patches? chrono trigger works, but some of the levels are blacked out, or the backgrounds are in the foreground blocking all the visuals . it seems to be pretty common, ive seen it so far in mario world, super metroid, and chrono trigger. Mario kart also has speed issues, and seems to play in slow motion with the sound on. It plays a lot better without sound though.

anyone know of any patches to fix the problems with the roms? or if patches do fix things.

you know what, those are the exact problems i was trying to describe on chrono trigger and super metroid. is there no way around these?
 
oh yeah, and last thing, the "control pad" or at least the direction buttons will stick sometimes, and keep you going in that direction even after you let go, seems to happen to me about once every few minutes.

but even so, im very happy this app came out. If they fix some of these bugs, this will be the best app out there.
 
The dev just released an update to fix the probles I was talking about. Chrono trigger, LoZ, and ff2/4j all work fine now.

Love this dev so much.
 
you download the update the same way you downloaded it from the market place, the button will just say update on it instead of buy.
 
Hi I've got a HTC magic on the way can anyone tell me if it does or will work on this phone...obviously it lacks the physical keypad but i was wondering if you could use it with the phone buttons?!?!?
 
started chrono trigger last night, and didnt notice any problems.. but i didnt play for very long.

others i tested that worked
Donkey Kong Country
Mortal Kombat 2
Street Fighter 2 Turbo

the controls on the fighting games make it pretty impossible to play, but they actually come up and display nicely
 
I have been losing my save states. It seems to happen after the phone loses power but it has also happened at ramdom. Like i saved my game, put the phone down for an hour, picked it up to load a rom and when i hit restore it starts the game from the beginning and my save state is gone :( anyone else experiencing this???
 
Some games are unlikely to be emulated (which currently don't work), or if they do get emulation support in the future they'll be unbearingly slow.

Starfox, Super Mario RPG, and both Kirby Games among some other titles I can't remember offhand have their own CPU built into the cartridge, which many people don't know about. Not only would the emulator be emulating the SNES cpu, graphics hardware, and sound processor, but it'd have to emulate the game's built-in CPU as well.

That's why those games don't run right now; the emulator does not support those external processors.

If a PC can emulate them, then andriod can as well. Just gotta wait for the devs to figure out how. All in due time.
 
Is full speed Emulation possible? The lag and sound glitches are too much for me to want to install these emu's currently.
 
snes is the best ever , i really like to play snes in my nds with R4. Anyone looking for flash carts should be careful before buying these cards , there are allot of fakes floating around now days, i really recommend R4 i bought one and it supports micro SD(1-2 GB) HD(4 and 8 GB) , i have had my card for 2 years with a 4 GB with no problems .I would also like to recommend Generic Viagra for anyone like myself with intimacy problems.

I downloaded the lite version and was trying to play some of the old Final Fantasy's. I have the Sprint HTC Hero and the virtual keys are not working and the trackball isn't being recognized as a Dpad. Anyone else having these issues and found a fix?
