sorry to double post, but the pocket SNES wont even load a rom on my fone...wont even get to the screen to chose the rom..any reason why?

On the C500 the performance is much more plausable... maybe 80% of real snes speeds for some roms.  Don't switch the sound on (maybe) as this causes the C500 to hang at the moment.

Hi all

I'm thinking about releasing a game engine, along with some tutorials to back it up, to show people how to make a full, but simple, game for the Smartphone.

The game engine will include all the code for setting up the window, dealing with keypresses, behaving nicely when a call comes in, and the basic blit routines to get graphics on the screen .

And I wanted to gauge interest before I wade in..

I understand that the phone may not be readily available outside of best buy until Nov 15 (30days from bb's release)...does that only mean best buy US? and any ideas where the rest of us can buy it from (Online...anywhere)?

hey, im new to the whole smartphone world and i cant seem to get a straight answer on whether a SNES emulator exists for it. Im gettin a smartphone 2 in a week or so and wouldnt mind knowing if any emulators worked on it or not? if anyone could help thatd be awesome, thanks..

I will be buying a MPX220 in the near future (if it will just come out) from Best Buy.  I have my contract through T-Mobile so I understand I have to pay extra.  Will they un-lock the phone for me at best buy or do I have to contact someone?  I am kind of new to the high powered phone arena so any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Bryan

then you got lucky--because it's supposed to be 500.00 no contract

heck, even neoragex has multi(I think)

a nes emulator with bluetooth multiplayer????? thats going just a little way beyond a regular port dont you think? surely that would mean changing the games themselves, not the emulation as the data required to be sent via BT would be different for every game

Gens Plus Is a mastersystem and megadrive emulator all in one. The source is now open so if anyone can port this to smartphone it would be great. Anyone?

Anyone interested in porting to Smartphone?  :D

Hey!!!!

Now I was also one of the many people who was blown away by this app, and I have to admit, I too am a little disappointed that Bitbank will not be completing this app for us anytime soon.  

But aren't you guys being a little harsh???  After all, Bitbank didn't have to release his beta here, and furthermore, the fact that he did, shows how commited he is to the progression of smartphone apps in general.

Me thinks some people have just got too greedy, and expect everything for free.  Granted, it would be nice to have this app working properly, but considering I didn't pay a red cent for it, who am I to complain???   [-X  

Bitbank, I personally wanna say cheers, and I look forward to any future software developed by your clever self (free or otherwise!!)

Anywho, im off to finish playing Streetfighter Alpha on my smartphone.....

Yawn. Another timewaster that promises the earth and delivers nothing. What is it with Smartphone developers?  :?

The problem is not the rights to the code.  I am self-employed and own everything in this project.  The problem is that I am now working with the game companies on commercial projects.

This code will find its way into a retail product for SmartPhone some day, but I'm not sure when.

I'll be showing it off at the HP Mobility Roadshow next week in Fort Lauderdale.  Maybe I can convince someone from Sprint, T-Mobile or AT&T that it is worth licensing the game titles.
