Running a SWEET Nintendo emulator for CX00
« on: September 09, 2004, 10:29:27 pm »
Greetings,

I did some research for this for another thread, but thought it is SO cool (and works so well, not to mention easy to setup) it deserved it's own thread (to get noticed)  and utilized.
____________________________________________________________________


The ZNester (NES Emulator) program is works GREAT (with full screen and full sound).

I coupled it with ZEMU and it works even better (make sure to select Settings->Frontend->by Qtopia in ZEMU and you will get FULLSCREEN use, otherwise command line will only give you a small area in the screen).

Here are the links...everything you need  to get you started:
ZNester Program (command Line)
ZEMU (GUI, just set this up to call ZNester and add the folder that contains all the games and then you can simply select from the list to play a game)
GAMES/ROMS:
Web Page with individual links for a great set of games(ROMS)
OR
Or click here to download ALL the games on that site and then you can delete the one which you don't own (see copyright info below)

(Note: The site for the roms contains just a small subset of the NES ROMS out there..Use Google to find more NES Rom Sites)

Keys for use.:
Arrows (obviously)
X and Z are ussually action buttons.
Cancel = Exit
Enter = Start game (when pressed at game title screen)

Note: The ROMS page says these are the default controls, so if the above don't work try these (Cacko QT maps the Japanese keys to ALT and Control):
A - Alt
B - Control
Select - Tab
Start - Enter


UPDATE:

There is another ROM page that has "Ad's" that may be offensive to some people so I  originally did not post it... however, it has literally hundreds of NES games including 1200-in-1 ROMS with 1200 games/variations (there are also 100in1, 35 in1, 120in1, etc,etc) and lots of single roms.  If anyone wants to go to the link then they must assume full responsibility for thier own sensibilities and understand that I do NOT approve of the Ads (nor do I have any association to the site), but since it is a WEALTH of ROMS, I felt it selfish to not share the address:

Click here for HUNDREDS OF ROMS - WARNING: INSENSITIVE ADS


Note:As with all Emulators and ROMS, please make sure to abide by copyrights laws, etc. Thes games are generally only legal to download the ROMS if you own the actual game already (sort of as a backup). For those of you who have web space or upload programs to various sites, make sure to never bundle an Emulator with a ROM or set of ROMS.  This is for your legal protection and that of your fine upstanding user group administrator and owner[/i]

Commodore 64 Emulator for X11
Huge C64 ROM(Games) page.

UPDATE:
FRODO and FRODO GUI for QT Environments (thanks kfetisov)
Excerpt:
"The emulator needs also C64 ROM files. For copyright reasons this files are not included in the ipk package. This files can, for example, copied from a original C64. After Frodo is installed on the Zaurus, this files must be copied to "/opt/QtPalmtop/bin/frodo". The following files are needed:

    * Kernal ROM
    * Basic ROM
    * Char ROM
    * 1541 ROM "

Soooooo, you'll need these ROMS Required by FRODO:
KERNAL, BASIC, 1541 AND CHAR ROMS

Instructions:
Operating instructions for the Frodo Zaurus version

    * The cursor keys on the Zaurus can be used to emulate a joystick. The emulation can be activated with the tabulator key and 'J'. The mode of the emulation is shown in the lower right corner. If a Joysticks in port one is emulated a 1 is shown, for port two a 2 is shown. If no emulation is active nothing is shown.
    * The C64 function keys can be reached by the following key combinations on the Zaurus:
          o F1 - Tabulator and 'Q'
          o F2 - Tabulator and 'W'
          o F3 - Tabulator and 'E'
          o F4 - Tabulator and 'R'
          o F5 - Tabulator and 'T'
          o F6 - Tabulator and 'Z'
    * The Run/Stop key is mapped to Tabulator and 'O'.
    * The Restore key is mapped to Tabulator and 'P'.
    * To quit the emulator, press the menu key.



Note:As with all Emulators and ROMS, please make sure to abide by copyrights laws, etc. Thes games are generally only legal to download the ROMS if you own the actual game already (sort of as a backup). For those of you who have web space or upload programs to various sites, make sure to never bundle an Emulator with a ROM or set of ROMS.

Hi!

Here is home page of Frodo for Zaurus (great C64 emulator):
http://www.lachner-net.de/index_en.html
It work fine under QT, but for use of "?," key you must shut down keyhelper (khctl disable in console) before starting emulator.

BR,

Konstantin

Hi,

I am running FRODO on a Zaurus C860 and I am having a few problems hat I was hoping you could help with:

1) The screen is tiny...How do I make it full screen like the C700 picture on the web page of FRODO?

2) I copied FRODOGUI settings and I can load games, but how do I get them to RUN ? (RUN doesn't WORK).

3) How do you Exit FRODO gracefully?

Thank you

How do you save your game? I selected save after dying in "Legend of Zelda", but when I restarted zemufe, my character had not been saved. Any tips?

I only know they all work for CXX0 series, I have tried it on my C860
and ppl use these on earlier models.

But I am not sure abt SL series, sorry..

Wonder Swan is a portable game console, similar to GBA, etc.
It's made by Bandai, but it was only popular for a while and only in Japan and Hong Kong tho...

I just got snes9x going on my sparkly new C860, and it would be fantastic except it won't register more than two simultaneous keypresses. I can finagle three by using a modifier key (i.e. Shift) for one of them, but it's awkward.

Is everyone just playing games that don't need the multiple-button pressing or is there something I can actually do to improve matters?  I'd like to be able to play Umihara Kawase, which practically mandates at least four simulaneous keys...

pelrun,

I have never had that problem.  I've played through quite a few games and multiple key presses definately works on my Z.  I never even configured the key mappings either.  Is there anything that is different in your key mapping from the vanilla configuration?
