The NES and SNES are cab files that install in your Games Folder(or a new Games folder under Programs) and the Genesis emulator you can extract anywhere you want.

You can use your keyboard with all of these for movement(although you will find out that when setting the keys..they are kind of backwards in the setup process, but you will figure it out)

Roms you know where you can get those..put them anywhere you want in a folder(folders for each emu is what I would suggest)

Settings:

- Disable sound for best results
- Landscape Right is what turns it the right direction

Enjoy!

Odd, I posted this exact same info here..

Not really exactly the same considering there is a working NES Emu that I found.

Other than that, nice find on the GBA emu.

Does anyone have the cab file for the vga pocketsnes? I remember seeing it in this forum but i can't find it no longer (searched).

You don't need to install K for Touch Pro anymore - I believe. Use the following:

Edit: I just realized that lag doesn't go away completely but it's much improved. Using the center button on the outside of the phone's buttons still gives you faster performance than any keyboard button.

But I think I'm going to continue with the use of this cab - instead of using k for touch pro. I do get some improvement where games are playable now.

Any chance you can attach that file into this forum? I don't want to sign up to another forum. Thanks ahead of time.

Check the thread I linked to at the top of this page. The SNES emu that I posted about works for VGA displays wonderfully.

People say that there is lagg and whatnot in the emulators, and if you put on sound, it's even worse.

SNES works perfectly with sound on my Sprint Touch Pro. I use the built in keyboard for all my buttons. The only problem, is no matter what I do, Up is always left, left is always down, down is left, and right is down.

I use JD's custom rom. Works well, Speeds up the phone a bit too (and makes it so the emulators don't lagg).
Downside: I don't know if it's the rom, or if my sprint screwed something up, but I can only text to AT&T, I can't text to T-mobile, or Verizon.

The keyboard doesn't work originally with emulators, the keyboard views as only like 3 or 4 different buttons in total(Even though it has well over 30, so you can't assign keys to it.
It's caused by the T9.

I can't remember where, but you can get a little cab file on Xda somewhere that disables the T9 support, and that will allow you to use all the hardware buttons on the keyboard. Downside: You can't use the symbol menu anymore ("sym" key to the left of the space bar gets disabled). Pisses me off.

Alternatively, you can get a program called Keyboard for touch pro. That just lets you turn off the T9 with a button, and you can put it back on later. however, If you have CE-Star on your phone(Japanese/chinese Input), like myself, It won't work. So your only choice if you want to keep CE-Star but still use the keyboard for emulators, is to use the cab that kills T9, unfortunately.

Sorry - I don't feel comfortable doing that since I'm not the owner or creator of that file.

OsirisFael - it's interesting that you comment on the lack of lag, but you also have a GSM version of the Touch Pro. I've yet to hear about a lack of lag on the CDMA version of the touch pro - hence my questions.

I've found out today that lag is greatly reduced if you use the cab file that I referenced above - which disables T9. It's much worse if I try to use "K For Touch Pro". But now, Genesis and Finalburn are very playable without a bluetooth joystick.

I'm hoping there's a custom ROM for CDMA phones that will allow us to get rid of any remaining lag. For now, disabling T9 is a good improvement to emulation with the keyboard.

That said OsirisFael, it's impossible that your experience of SNES is full speed. While it's playable for me, the best experience I get is maybe halfspeed - and that's with Nop's emulator with VGA support.

I don't have a gsm phone, I have a CDMA.
Sprint can't use GSM phones.

Forgot the quote button. Sorry.
Are you using a custom rom?
If not, I suggest it.

+1, in fact I have found Pocket Genesis doesn't really work.
