| Rom Gallery | Fast Scroll |

| Add Home Screen Icon Dialog | Save/Load Gallery |
 |  |
| Video Settings View | Game Genie Codes |
Features:
- written entirely in Qt and QML (even cpu,ppu, etc. is written in Qt)
- modular architecture to minimize memory use (e.g. mappers are in seperate plugins) and speed up loading
- ROM gallery
- fast scroll
- you are able to create an icon in the homescreen, and with auto save/load you will not even notice you are using an emulator
- swipe is disabled by default - configurable
- support for game genie codes
- quite fast NES emulation - full framerate without sound (60 FPS) - will be optimized
- save/load gallery
- you can push two buttons on the pad with one finger at the time (e.g. A and B)
Todo:
- I don't know how to make icons in the homescreen removable - please help
- settings are not saved yet
- game policy
- currently when you click play new windows and machine is created, it takes time (especially when you click pause first time). In order to minimize this time I will reimplement this mechanism so only disk will be reloaded (it should be done this way from beginning)
- accelerometer as a controller
- mappers 72-255
- on-screen paddle controller (e.g. arkanoid)
- on-screen zapper controller (e.g. duck hunts)
- use accelerometer at the save's view and rom gallery
- more consoles: GB, SNES, C64, Amiga, ...
- net play
- want more ? want somthing sooner than other ? add a comment and please donate
Issues:
- I know some games don't work, if you find some and you want them to work let me know, I am checking constantly what work, what not but if you let me know I can prioritize it
- sometimes application can crash on pause - will be fixed
- found bug ? please tell me about it
Very well done! Thank you.
OdpowiedzUsuńWaiting for Symbian^3 version :)
OdpowiedzUsuńIf you were to add more recent consoles like Gba and Nds to your list, entire forums would donate to your causeIf you were to add more recent consoles like Gba and Nds to your list, entire forums would donate to your cause
OdpowiedzUsuńGBA, SNES and PSX emulation is coming soon with many improvements and bugfixes. Stay tuned :)
OdpowiedzUsuńwhy not launch for maemo/n900 too? it is possible?
OdpowiedzUsuńN9/N950 is the priority. I have to take a look if meego components are available for maemo. But I see no problem - I can release it for maemo too, but as I stated in future.
OdpowiedzUsuńthis should interest you then:
OdpowiedzUsuńhttp://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=76355&highlight=wip
Will you release to the Symbian^3, Anna/Belle devices?
OdpowiedzUsuńI am not an owner of Symbian^3 device. But feel free to donate so I could buy one :) Then I definitely release EmuMaster for Symbian^3.
OdpowiedzUsuńvery cool app :) do you think you can make super mario rpg work ? :)
OdpowiedzUsuńSMRPG catridge contains SA-1 chip. In the current state my emulator doesn't support it. I will rather add new systems to my application now. But I will do my best to get it work in the future.
OdpowiedzUsuńAny chance of a NeoGeo emulator being included?
OdpowiedzUsuńNeoGeo has low priority. Maybe in future, sorry :(
OdpowiedzUsuńwould you please put some games on your blog that actually work ?.
OdpowiedzUsuńWhen talking about commercial games - NO, it's ILLEGAL. But there are plenty of public domain games (e.g. http://sites.google.com/site/jbrodack/gba) which are free to download. Just google them. Pretty much of games should work with the exception of psx emulation which is in alpha state.
OdpowiedzUsuńI definitely think you should release this for symbian. Installed symbian base is huge - your emulator would be extremely popular and highly used app.
OdpowiedzUsuńTry to include something like link inside the emulator and make a way to donate to you easily. Anounce about your plans to port this to symbian in dailymobile.se, nokia n8 fanclub, mynokiablog, allaboutsymbian, etc. Maybe summeli (www.summeli.fi) would be interested to cooperate with you. He made some awesome emulators for symbian.
If you want to get known and receive some donations, etc., be creative and exploit the QT - use all the relevant platforms!
Good luck to you ;)
Great work Elemental. I have been playing a lot. I noticed that while holding one button I can't press another button and have both buttons registered. For instance, in super mario world I can't hold a turtle and jump at the same time. The psx emulator is awesome and perfect for RPG games ^_^
OdpowiedzUsuńIs there any ETA for C64 support?
OdpowiedzUsuńNext is Amiga. C64 future
OdpowiedzUsuńThank you for this emulator
OdpowiedzUsuńDo you know if the GB and MasterSystem available?
Fantastic Work. So far I've got a couple of games working. On PSX i have SF Alpha 3, the only issue is, its really hard to use the controls. It would be perfect otherwise. Cheers!
OdpowiedzUsuńAmazing! Really bridged the gap between the numerous emulation options on the N900 and the N9!
OdpowiedzUsuńNow, where's that Sega MegaDrive/Genesis support! :)
Please for EmuMaster for Symbian^3, i love psx games!
OdpowiedzUsuńhttp://elemental-mk.blogspot.com/2011/11/symbian.html
OdpowiedzUsuńthx for an fantastic app. Donated a small sum. Hope you'll be able to keep the N9 version up to date.
OdpowiedzUsuńMetal Gear Solid please !!!
OdpowiedzUsuńHi elemental.. I heard a notice, but I hope it's not true, about what you think of Symbian, dead platform. Nobody knows the real Symbian's destiny, if it will die or somehow grow up again, but I think you should consider of Symbian Belle popularity (more than 11 models and still growing, perhaps including soon N8-2). Show "everywhere" your interest and your honestly and I'm sure that you'll be paid, appreciated, and your popularity will reach another level!
OdpowiedzUsuńWell, if something will happen in next two/three weeks I change my mind. I am talking about donations because right now it's 18$. I don't know Symbian community so much as you - the users - you can spread the message and we will see. But if nothing happen I won't go deep in Symbian, because I have no Symbian device.
UsuńI'm sure you know about this than me. I understand that EmuMaster is develped in Qt/QML, and I understand too that currently Symbian^3 (Symbian Anna, Nokia Belle) supports Qt/QML too. I tried a "Hello World!" application in Qt and it just took me 2 minutes. The Qt Creator even lets you select various platforms for your project (Symbian, Meego, Windows, etc).
UsuńIf you haven't, you should look into it. Maybe it's only needed to add another platform while compiling.
Thanks!
No, it won't work if you change the destination platform only. It uses more advanced things than plain application, e.g. NEON SIMD instructions, which are non-existent on Symbian device. What I am saying is that it needs more work than you suppose.
UsuńOh, sorry. Hopefully Symbian version of Qt will support those instructions.
Usuńthanks for the quick answer =)
It's not Qt that need support of NEON SIMD, there is hardware needed for NEON SIMD instructions which is missing in Symbian devices. And psx emulation uses many NEON instructions, which I would need to rewrite in order to make things work. Anyway psx emulation is currently the worst in EmuMaster and many of you counts only on psx emulation, so there is no point of porting now :(
UsuńI'm so sorry it's me again. Really fast answering! How could be it possible only 18$, if just 2 users that I personally know (me not still, because in doubt), gave 5€ each, that are around 12 dollars? Does it mean that only 3 generous people paid you, with over and over a million of Symbian users? This is not an accusation against you, but it means that something is gone wrong:-( Sadly I don't know how to communicate this to the whole Symbian comunity that would be lovely.. Thanks if in a next future you will keep an eye open for Symbian with your goodness and talent! Aaand, Symbian Belle is awesome I swear!
OdpowiedzUsuńLoved this app! Thanks!
OdpowiedzUsuńCould you please implement in the future an option for the emulator to use the time of the phone? It affects certain games like Pokemon. :(
eres un programador fantastico! joder
OdpowiedzUsuńThanks for this app! PSX game called Return Fire will not run! :( Please can you fix this?
OdpowiedzUsuń99% roms not working :(. Snes: zelda no sounds, no save. donkey kong not working at all, game starts but start, seleckt buttons not works and ect.
OdpowiedzUsuńhi thanks for your work firstly! just wanna ask is it possible to import game saves from computer such as .svs or .sav in order to continue my progress? thanks!
OdpowiedzUsuńNo, it's not possible, because EmuMaster has it's own state model and format, sorry
UsuńI hope you can continue support for the N9, I would really love to play gameboy colour games on it! I think you should make the donate button more intrusive or maybe have ads to help you get some revenue. Alternatively make an ad free version for $5!
OdpowiedzUsuńYoshi's Island does not work (SNES version). So far is the only issue I found. Oh, and the GBA BIOS thing is kind of a bummer, maybe if the requirement was removed... Great emulator though!! :)
OdpowiedzUsuńHow much donation would you want to add this feature.
OdpowiedzUsuń1. To speed up gameplay x2,x4 times normal speed?
In the new version you will get:
Usuń- benchmark mode
- fast forward on volume button
If you really want the feature you mentioned:
- I must warn you that it's not always possible since some games are so cpu hungry that they run not so smooth at 1x
- otherwise it's not so complicated, donate me 20$ - please repeat in description of the donation the feature you want, thanks
Hey! Im having problems concerning saving. The emulator doesn't seem to save automatically. Neither does the game. Even when I try to save it manually, it won't work and so I have to start the whole game again... Have you got any help, tips and so on?
OdpowiedzUsuńThanks for the emulator, it's great! I just keeps my N9 busy even though there is a terrible lack of new games out there. Waiting eagerly to play N64 or GBC games, thanks!
OdpowiedzUsuńGreat emulator! One request: joystick for psx <3
OdpowiedzUsuńno more working on that project? too bad. i would like to see GBC emulator here :(
