Well a NES emulator was released this morning. Thought I'd see a thread here by now, but I don't so I'll start!

Its called Nesoid and it works really, really well. Some people are complaining about sound and some haven't so I'm not sure whats up with that, but I bet it'll be fixed pretty soon.

So look for it on the market!

^_^

Harb

Interesting. I am wondering how this works and how games are actually installed/used in the emu.

Just stick the NES file on your SDCard and your good to go.

Then in the program press Menu, Open and find the game.

Matenrou

love this app, all others emulators run at 5-10fps and this one is so smooth (-:

panchov

whats going on guys...new here.. I just bought the emulator and trying to download games but it keeps saying doesnt support on phone can you all help..thanks

Matenrou

The emulator is for NES roms. Make sure the roms you download end with .nes and just put them on the sdcard

example
megaman.nes

panchov

Did you even think about extracting the file(s) in the zip ... as they are probably the .nes files ???

ok can i do this strait from my phone because when i click to download it it says "connot download. the content being downloaded is not supported on the phone" or do i need to do it by computer...

justjimjpc

Download file to your PC unzip into its own folder on the desktop ... see what is in the zip ... then as other here have said move the .nes file(s) to the sdcard ...

panchov

ok i get it now ....thanks for your help

justjimjpc

LOL ... maybe you aren't meant to play games !!!!

Fro

best thing to happen to games for andriod ever. Only gripe is Punch Out doesnt work >.< I havent run into any other games that don't work tho which is a good thing.

Here is a list of the ones I d/l and tried, they all worked perfectly, minus sound since I haven't got cupcake yet.

Crisis Force
Double Dragon 1
Final Fantasy
Gauntlet
Gauntlet II
Golf
SMB2
SMB3
Megaman 2
RBI Baseball
River Ciry Ransom
TMNT II
TMNT III
Zelda I
Zelda II

Just what I threw on my SD card while I had time at work.

deffintly worth the 2$.

dkaufman1

If anyone tries Super Tecmo Bowl I am interested in their results, playability and ability to save your season.

JJbdoggg

this is the fastest and best emulator by far it runs at 60fps

pacothebandit

Dude...you are like so smart haha

Sometimes I just have to shake my head ..... and wonder !!!

Harb

Has anyone tried the "lite" version?

azzf26

if you d/l unzip from the market you can download,unzip, and play all from the phone,as the phone doesnt support rar from default.and also the roms work when zipped.theres lots of dodgy roms tho so find the best versions

pacothebandit

Yes, I am currenty running the lite version. Works well i guess!

SirFenwick

Works great for me. The sound kind of messes up once in a great while but thats no real problem. As the sound for NES games are not the best and no really needed.

I have over 1,000 roms on my SD card. No problems for me.

panchov

Almost all the games work for me...I like it...tried Tecmo Bowl I II...works good with me...like one of the others said Punchout freezes up...but other that that all work great....

panchov

You might want to try to to go to the market then to your downloads to see if there is a "update" availible for it...sound didnt work for me then after the update I found sound worked perfect....just a thought..and I dont have the cupcake update either..

Fro

I did that a few minutes after I made the post. It has sound now, but its not as clear as I would like. Its a bit...distorted...or staticy.

Still thats only a very minor complaint. I am very very happy with this.

cred05

Anyone have Mike Tysons Punch Out that works? All the ones I've tried keeps freezing right after maria says "fight!"

edit:Mario not maria, lol

I can't find the NESOID full version? I only see Lite on the Market, was it taken down? Can anyone help? )=

dkaufman1

In the USA (location likely matters) if you search "nesoid" you will see two apps.

Fro

sadly no. This seems to be one of the only games that will not work. I have tried both versions (Punch Out!! and Mike Tyson's Punch Out!!) and both of them freeze right when Mario says "Fight!".

abgarza

Anyone figure out the controls on duck hunt. I hate that dog!!!

On the 4th world of SMB3, I get a green screen and mario doesn't have a ground and just falls.

I have tried with 3 different roms and the same thing happens. I have used the whistle each time, anyone else having this issue?

korgoth3

ok i got this working, but the sound is also choppy for me, and mike tysons doesnt work which sucks.

anyone know if there is a fix for the sound? the gameplay can be slow at times too a little, nothing too big, just wondering if anyone else experiences that too.

oneadvent

you are using a bad medium to ask these questions.

If you own the game you can download them from a torrent site, but if you do not, it is illegal to do it.

I have my very own copy of each game i put on my phone.

If anyone was to plug a site, they would be risking that site being taken down.

oneadvent

Okay, i also found that the pyramid on the second world doesn't have a ground, so you auto die there too...

Is anyone else having this issue?

JJbdoggg

you only get good sound if you have cupcake

azzf26

yes i also have this problem,ihad to use my warp wistle to avoid the problem =-(

oneadvent

yea well are you having the issue on world 4 too? (the big world)

I think I got a bad mario rom too...

LOL i'm not having much luck.

celluloideyes

I have the full version, but where do I put the roms folder? I mounted the phone to my computer, I can open the drive and I see folders in it, but when I open Nesoid and go to load a rom, I don't see the folder? Where do I put them?

celluloideyes

Nevermind--I figured it out. I just had to unmount it before I was able to see them on the phone.

celluloideyes

Wait--NOW it says "Load ROM failed. Please try another file". They are all .nes files (and work with other emulators on my PC). Why is it doing this? I've tried on about 10 different roms.

panchov

I had the same problem try doing this..

when you connect your phone to your pc your going to need to create a folder in the phone in the root of the sd card...call it "NES GAMES" easy to find..

then go to download the games to your computer put them in a file somewhere you can find them easily..after you downloaded the game you need to unzip it or extract it...after that just drag it to your phone under the NES GAMES folder...

umount it and try that...hope it helps..

celluloideyes

I did that--that's how I got them to show up on my phone--but now when I try to open them the error "Load ROM failed. Please try another file" pops up. I have no idea why it's doing this.

These roms work using Nestopia on my Mac.

SirFenwick

Try putting them in a folder with no spaces in the name like "nesroms" or something simple. Not sure if that'll help.

Might be some other application conflicting with the emulator too.

jonno.n

For people trying to download .zip files and getting "The content is not supported by your phone" errors, try downloading an app like AndroZip or AndExplore. I noticed after I downloaded those apps I could download .zip files again. Not sure why it's like that, but it seems to work for me. It might work for others too.

And for some reason ASTRO doesn't do this, even though it has .zip support. This is just from my experience.

23james

i got same probs with mario 3 rom. just use pwings on them iv only had 2 or 3 die glitches like that so far

celluloideyes

Figured out my problem. I had used all the ROMS on my Mac using Nestopia--so the .nes files were then associated with that program and became "Nestopia Cartridges" (that's what it said under "Properties/Get Info")

So, I had to then go on a computer where I didn't have Nestopia installed and download ROMS. The ROMS were then "Unix Executible Files", so they are no longer 'onl' playable using Nestopia.

Problem solved! These games run great on the G1!! Bring on the SNES emulator!

Cubesteak

I found over 10,000 NES roms, so I tried Punchout, since the one we have all been downloading via a google search seems to freeze right before the fight starts.

For those of you having problems with the “Punch Out” game, I found another copy that runs great all the way through the first round. I didn’t try anymore as I wanted to come here and report my findings. If anyone wants to test it go to


EDITED By Shivers316: It is illegal to post the links to NES ROMS


I’m only bringing it up so the emulator developer does not think there is a problem with his emulator. It must be the bad rom we are finding via google.

If it works for you please let us know.
