I have been using i780 very closely since i bought it and i didnt realize this problem until i installed Morphgear trying to play some emulation games. And it turns out that the keyboard on i780 canot support multiple press. While all this while ive been wondering why did i always have a typo on my SMS messages even though im pretty sure ive pressed the button but its missing on the screen. i.e

open note click new note . im trying to type "the quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog" so when u press T (dont let go) then press H quickly after and you can see that the H doesnt seems to be appearing. This is hence why the typo always occurs because i type REALLY REALLY FAST that sometimes the 2 button pressed together one of the character is missing. (probably also missing characters due to background process in the phone that lags the character appeareance)

However, if you install any games that requires to press 2 button at once.. it wont work. hence games are not playable at all on this keyboard. eg. Mario, you cant run fast because u cant press B and -> at the same time so theres no way u can run fast in a Mario game with this keyboard.

My question is that, is this a Hardware defect ? (because my dopod 838 pro seems to be playing mario faboulously) or is this just fixable by a firmware upgrade in the future? Its really sad tha such nice phone i780 with the fastest wm processor cant used to play a little bit of entertaintment game.

Fixable or not ?

Thanks guys.

WOW. This thing flys on my MPX220. No overclock.

Legend Of Zelda
Street Fighter
Final Fantasy IV(At least I think its IV, its the one that was released in the US)

All run at full speed with sound disabled.

Killer Instinct is just about playable at maybe 75% speed.

Thanks a lot.  8)

Does the OMAP overclock work on the 220?

I'm working on the z80 now, the new version may be ready not long.

@Poolkv
The emulator compatibility seems good, most games I tested work well but sound.
Do almost all games crash on your PPC or most of them?

Hello to all,

      I am a new owner of the T-Mobile MDA (running Windows Mobile 5) which I purchased 2 days ago. I have been struggling since then to find a NES emulator that will work properly in landscape mode! I am at my wits end here...sigh... I can successfully load the emu as well as the roms, but regardless of what my controller settings are, they are always completely backwards! Example:

With the keyboard extended, the EMU switches to landscape mode and all is well.
The ROMs load, run, look and sound amazing!!!
My controls are as follows (this has a full QWERTY keyboard BTW):

Left - A
Right - D
Up - W
Down - Z

A button - L
B button - K
Start - Y
Select - T

It seems that regardless of what I setup the keys to be, its as if the EMU thinks it is still in portrait mode and adjusts the keys as such... does anyone know how to force the keys to remain the same *and* work as desired in landscape? I would be immensely appreciative of any help anyone can provide!!

i've an mpx220...which is the emulator i havo toi install???

sorry for the english...i'm italian

New build is up! (0.12).  You can download it here:

www.bitbanksoftware.com/downloads/smartgear.zip

What's new:

1) Fixed a GBC timer bug.  This allows several games to work correctly (including one submitted as a bug report).
2) Fixed Key Definition dialog to allow you to exit with the soft menu keys.
3) Enabled ARM assembly language CPU emulation in NES.  You will see incredible speed in NES games (try unchecking throttling).
4) Enabled volume adjustment keys during gameplay (this was in the last build, but I forgot to mention it).

Please keep the bug reports coming.

L.B.

How can i set the emu to three button mode ???

I am using the Asian Rom 3.50.I have a 1 GB card ,but the roms are stored in the phone memory.maybe thats why you get a black screen..Try moving the roms to the phone memory and leave Pocket Snes in your SD card.

Hey Sly123, i am a mpx220 user and i am currently using 1.52 version of Pocket Snes.
Most of my roms work,including FF3 and Chrono Trigger.And ofcourse Mario World!

What problem do you have?

@doudz
You can try to enable display all 240 scanlines in graphics setting of PocketNesterPlus. And the second problem you mentioned, has been fixed, and will released in the next version.

@Sly123
Do you remember the mappers which used in the game that slowed down?

@Sly123
Sound is to be improved soon. And Z80 emulation is also to be added.

Thanks! And what you mean slowdown? In some games?

UNO could be a good choice if you like that card game.
I have finished "Zelda Link's Awakening" in my mpx200 too.
All these are GBColor games with Smartgear.

I don't think arcades are easy to play with a mobile (just because of the keys), but Bust-A-Move (Puzzle Bobble) and Sonic series for the GameGear may be enjoyable.

I am still looking for a working version of Risk (Genesis version isn't playable with PicoDrive, and PC version with DosBox is veeeery sloooow).

Any more ideas?

I'm kinda missing some options to control the bitrate & frequence of sound. Just a q: what does the "throttle framerate" option do? Is it for games that run with a slow framerate? Does it cut out some frames or..?

Keep up the good work, this is an app. I actually wanna pay for

Just one question: If I pay for it now, do I have to pay again if there is a new updated release?

Are there some "cool" RPG Games for SPV C550??
I would like to play some games like Final Fantasy VII.
I buy this phone very soon and i must have something to play :twisted:

Sly123,
I would really like to understand this problem better because if you see it on the MPX220, then it should happen on others.

Please describe in detail the steps needed to reproduce this problem (from powering up the phone to seeing the problem).  Please describe in detail what you mean by the phone crashing.

Thanks,
L.B.

sly123,
Thanks for altering me to the problem with large files.  I am not able to reproduce the problem with the latest code.  Can you you name a game which has this problem?  Did you check available RAM on your phone before running SmartGear?

Thanks,
L.B.

that mean - pokemon don't work becouse it on my SD card?

ps. give me link to SmartGear plz...
