Nintendo Ds and Psp Emulator -- N900
 

Can Someone Please tell me when a psp emulator and a nintendo ds emulator will become availiable for the
N900

I know for a fact that the nokia n900 has the proccessing power to be able to play nintendo ds games (Plus it has the touchscreen capability and psp games.

I know the phone is brand new but still...
There has to be a way..

Im really looking forward to buying it
and it would be amazing if it had these capabilities

Also has anyone ever played the unreal tournament series of pc games.
I've always enjoyed playing these on the pc
Is there a way to get one of these on the n900 aswell?

Here lies proof why you should at least research a little before posting.

Where do I start? AFAIK, there is no PSP emulator for the PC, so that puts the kibosh on that. DS would be slightly more feasable, but the N900s architecture sure doesn't help. Someone else? I'm bored now...

Re: Nintendo Ds and Psp Emulator -- N900
 

Actually the N900 architecture helps, because it is ARM based, meaning less CPU emulation required. There is a DS emu for the tablets, its very very slow obviously. Someone will make it once the phone comes out...

Re: Nintendo Ds and Psp Emulator -- N900
 

It's probably worth checking the OpenPandora forum (openpandora.org) for info/news about emulators on the Linux/OMAP3 platform. If there's one available for the OpenPandora, there will be one for the N900. The converse also holds: If the pandora devs have trouble getting an emulator working, people will (likely) run into the same problems getting it running on the N900.

And for future reference: Unless you've actually written an emulator for that platform already, it's next to impossible to say whether x has enough power to emulate y. Also for reference, the rule-of-thumb figure thrown around for perfect emulation is that the host must be 12x more powerful than the system it's emulating.

Re: unreal tournament: Can't port without source, so ask the publisher of UT to let you have the source, then hire a programmer to do the port for you.

To run these games if THESE GAMES ARE ported to run native n900.

N900 not have the power necessary to emule a nintendo ds at a decent speed, and psp emulators are more of a farytale to a reality.

Re: Nintendo Ds and Psp Emulator -- N900
 

Here is a list of work-in-progress and working emulators for the Pandora platform. A PSP emulator is indeed in the works, tho I wouldn't hold my breath on it.

Emulators on N900 WAS Nintendo Ds and Psp Emulator -- N900
 

Oh whoopee Amiga emulator already running full speed on Pandora. Can't wait for that to be ported over to N900.

I doubt the CPU or GPU are anywhere near powerful enough to emulate a PSP though.

I tried playing Pinball Dreams/Fantasies on the iPod Touch but it just doesn't work without hardware keys. The N900 keyboard should work just fine, as long as there is a way to remap the left and right shift keys onto it.

What would be even better would be if someone released a N900 joypad dock turning the N900 into a mini Pandora. Or perhaps support for the Wii controller as I could easily carry that around in a pocket, with the stand on the N900 it might work on the train with those little tables in the back of the seats.

I quite fancy a Pandora but I know I wouldn't use it that much. The N900 on the other hand I know I will use all the time so it would be a perfect fit.

Alex Atkin UK - I could kiss you for that info (don't worry - I won't).
UAE running full speed on N900 is a dream come true.
I'm gonna tingle all over the first time I play Mill 2.2 or Deuteros on the N900 :p)

Re: Emulators on N900 WAS Nintendo Ds and Psp Emulator -- N900
 

I get about 18-30 fps on the gp2x amiga emulator runing on N810.

Alex Atkin UK, would you be a customer for a n900 gaming controller shell?

Re: Nintendo Ds and Psp Emulator -- N900
 

I would purchase a shell for gaming on the N900. I'm looking forward to playing some psx classics, and the keypad just isn't going to cut it. Of course, I could use a bluetooth controller (and this is a last resort) but I'd rather have something I could clip to the unit.

}:^)~

Re: Nintendo Ds and Psp Emulator -- N900
 

I'm interested in a gaming shell for the N900.

Also, you guys might want to limit emulation to consoles that are no longer being sold or are available otherwise emulation heads into straight up piracy.

Re: Nintendo Ds and Psp Emulator -- N900
 

+1
i'd buy one too,
as anyone heard of zeemote its a bluetooth one handed gaming controller for mobile devices, its a joystick with 4 buttons.
i have one and use it on s60 theres a app you use with it called zeekey so you can map keys and save mapping profiles , i would love to use it on n900 only problem is theres no dedicated keymapping application for maemo, so i dont think it will work well :(

i lol'd


you don't think they're doing this for nostalgia do ya?

Re: Nintendo Ds and Psp Emulator -- N900
 

That's exactly my point.

Re: Nintendo Ds and Psp Emulator -- N900
 

The PSP capabilities look very close to the PS2, and that can current only be emulated by mid-level laptops or above with decent graphics hardware. I've run PS2 emu on my laptop (Core 2 Duo at 2Ghz with integrated graphics) and it runs poorly (some games are unplayable). My laptop is a much better performer than the N900. I don't think we'll see a reasonable performing PSP emulator for the N900.

... but I'd love to be proven wrong!!

In any case, it would still be a good project to start, as hardware is bound to improve over time, and the code will exist for generations.

Re: Emulators on N900 WAS Nintendo Ds and Psp Emulator -- N900
 

ArminS - a long time ago you worked on porting an amiga emulator, didn't you?
Just wondering what the status is - but maybe obsolete if the Pandora one is runnable on the N900.

By the way, I would def. be up for a gaming controller shell.

Re: Nintendo Ds and Psp Emulator -- N900
 

Why the F you need PSP/DS emu when you have F-ing PSX?!

Re: Nintendo Ds and Psp Emulator -- N900
 

Eh? There are different games for different systems. I don't recall the PlayStation version of Trauma Center.

Re: Nintendo Ds and Psp Emulator -- N900
 

Well, I thought it's a matter of game quality, not exact brands. PSX has huge gaming base, from simple but good looking arcades like Einhander to deep gameplay like FF series. Hundreds of AAA games in your pocket - why would you want something nearly impossible when you have such a treasure here and now.

Re: Nintendo Ds and Psp Emulator -- N900
 

Man, I had a C64 and then an Amiga 500 :) If a full speed Amiga emu comes out I am playin':

1. Super Obliteration
2. Transplant
3. Ruff & Tumble
4. Stunt Car Racer
5. Super Cars 2
6. Super Twintris
7. Galaga 93
8. All of the Turrican games

I could go on you know ;)

Re: Nintendo Ds and Psp Emulator -- N900
 

Let me:
SWIV
Millennium 2.2
Deuteros
Speedball 2
Vixen (if anyone has this demo game - plz. let me know)

:)

Re: Nintendo Ds and Psp Emulator -- N900
 

This is most likely totally wrong but I have Tomb raider running on a windows mobile XDA which seems just like the sony playstation version. Wont things like this work on the far more powerfull Nokia?

Re: Nintendo Ds and Psp Emulator -- N900
 

c64 for ik+ and amiga for dm and chaos strikes back and I'm set. ooh. marble madness with accelerator could be cool too, if that would work.
Speedball 2 is pretty cool too. I have to have that!

Who needs psx, snes, psp, ds or whatnot when you have C64 and Amiga 500!

Re: Nintendo Ds and Psp Emulator -- N900
 

The Windows Mobile version of Tomb Raider was a commercial game written specifically for that platform, so won't work directly on the N900. If there will be a Playstation emulator for the N900, you could play that version.

Re: Nintendo Ds and Psp Emulator -- N900
 

And there will be a PSX emulator... I hope.. :p

The original tomb raider was an amazing game. Unlike the 'action-centric' follow ups, the original seemed to focus more on puzzles and exploration. I loved this aspect of the game, and wish more games followed this formula. Of course, having not played many games in the past 5 years, I don't know *if* they have indeed! Har har har....
