[Guest jamjamjam]

has anyone atually managed to get anything to work on this??? everything ive tried either freezes on startup or just loads a black screen and wont let me exit exept from mario all stars where all the marios exept mario world work

can someone explain how to get roms working and what version you are using? many thanks

i also have problems with it. it will let me play for a few seconds then freeze then play and freeze and on and on. i think it's because the SMT5600 (or C500) doesn't quite have the specs to run this smoothly. but i don't really know. try the game boy emulator, that works perfectly for me

I've got two games I use that work (Final Fight 2 and Mario Kart). I need to change the frame settings (look under display and change the number to 2 or 3) to get the games to run at a decent speed, but beyond that the games run just fine.

Did try Street Fighter 2 as well, but the characters just appeared as fuzzy interference-static type blocks which made the game pretty nasty to watch. This does happen to one or two characters in Final Fight 2 as well, but it doesn't make a difference to that game's playability.

If you're interested in Retro Gaming, try the PicoDrive too - I've only got one MegaDrive ROM to try it with (Streets Of Rage) but it looks fine and runs at a perfect speed on my C500.

Stupid question, when the C500 first came out, it had a problem with the GAPI Draw or something that made games displays not work properly. Orange released an update that fixed that - I wonder if your phones are still affected and if that's an issue? Anyone with some technical knowledge able to shed any light on this?

:0 I tried for ages to get Mariokart to work. I just gte the same problem as described above when I try to run it!

I know it's against the rules to discuss where you get roms from but I do own Mariokart for the SNES so I would be acting legally if you tell me where you got the working rom! PLEASE! I love Mariokart.

Does it matter if you intsall PocketSnes and the rom on the card or handset memory?

download a snes emulater for the PC to check if the rom you have got works - it probably will! Then you know it's the phone.

You should be able to find plenty of roms - just use google (but make sure your security settings are on high, you've got a virus checker on and try microsoft antispyware as well!)

[Guest Confused Stu]

Sorry mate, I appreciate what you're saying about it being legal for you to download the ROM but anyone else reading this may not be so scrupulous. Also, I can't actually remember where I downloaded it, so I wouldn't be able to help anyway! :lol:

I think trying it on a SNES emulator on the PC is a good idea - I've got SNES9x running on my PC and it seems good enough for the ROMs I've got.

Good luck mate.

Did anyone ever figure out a fix for this?
