im on playbook os1 still (installed version 1.0.0.4) and when i installed using DDBP. no folders at all were created. no dgen folder or anything. I created my own directory (misc/roms/smd) and put all my roms in there (.bin and .smd). The emulator works perfect with the exception of 2 bad roms (one stays black and the other turns the screen red) but i dont think i can blame the emulator for that as the other 25 roms i loaded work fine...
The only little issue im having is that there is no application icon on the playbook. just the word dgen below where the icon should be.
And if im being really picky, the d-pad area could be a little bigger (similar to the snes port).
Other than my OCD, everything works flawlessly!!!! thanks froggy for another great feature on my playbook.
edit: after posting i noticed that somehow the dgen folder is there now, but it wasnt there when i created the roms folder... is it possible that it doesnt create the folder until the first time you launch the application?Last edited by jfiore838; 02-03-12 at 12:12 PM.

THe directory creation should be ok, the problem is the playbook uses Samba to expose the directories on windows so it's a dynamic mapping, if you don't see the directory after exiting the app I would disconnect and reconnect the file sharing mode it's the only thing I can think of that wouldn't work.02-03-12 02:56 PM - All of my roms are playing perfectly. Sonic works amazingly well; no lags and the controls are really responsive.
I have not been able to find a game where the smaller buttons work (we need them for streetfighter).
I would also love to have a bigger dpad, and of course the ability to save the game.
Thanks for putting this together, it is really well done.02-05-12 09:56 AM - Even if you don't have ROMS it should stay up with a black screen and buttons showing and a text string at the bottom indicating no roms found. Something else is going on, if you installed the OS2 bar file, someone mentioned here they switched over to the OS1 .bar file and got it working so delete the app, delete the dirs, reboot and re-install the OS1 bar file.... accept file access dialog when you install , if you don't and then install it will always fail with a white screen ...same here; i have two smd files where they belong. i have the icon on the playbook and as soon as it tries to open it closes. tried rebooting the playbook and nothing...any other ideas?02-06-12 12:53 PM
- it turns out I had the vbam emulator that was posted on the 1st page thinking it was an update... I did download the dgen 0.4 .bar and still couldn't get it to work as it would load but it would say roms not found so i looked at the "how-to..." video and that helped so i want to clarify how to get it working for those that are still having problems and don't want to view the video....
once you install the .bar file and start up the dgen emulator on the playbook it will create the dgen folder in your directory on the pc. chances are it will be empty, some have said to simply "create the folders needed" but the confusion lies thinking you should create it within the dgen folder, NOT SO...(i made that mistake)... ignore the dgen folder and create a roms folder on the same directory and within that create the smd folder. Click on that and THERE drop your smd roms...now go back and startup the emulator on the playbook and it should be working...it did for me.Last edited by omega supreme; 02-06-12 at 04:02 PM.
02-06-12 03:58 PM - ok, so after going through several rom files on several sites, the roms i download appear as vlc media when i open them which i gather does not work as smd files are needed...i managed to find just 2 games that had smd files. sonic and shadow dancer. i tried getting shinobi 3 but as i said it is always vlc media from several sources. and then i tried other games and they were also vlc media...is this like the snes emulator where you have to simply change the extension to get it to work??02-06-12 04:08 PM
- Those vlc files are bin files and they should work. Just drop them in the smd folder.ok, so after going through several rom files on several sites, the roms i download appear as vlc media when i open them which i gather does not work as smd files are needed...i managed to find just 2 games that had smd files. sonic and shadow dancer. i tried getting shinobi 3 but as i said it is always vlc media from several sources. and then i tried other games and they were also vlc media...is this like the snes emulator where you have to simply change the extension to get it to work??02-06-12 05:46 PM
