    Did you give the app permission to access your files/folders?

    An android port won't work as it's written in c. Doesn't take much to get it running on the Playbook but it does have some problems to work out

    Specifically, it spends a lot of time in the load screen. Man am I sick of this screen: I have rebooted my Storm a couple of times and this has still not loaded, that's how slow it is .

    but when you are actually playing the game it works quite well.

    What it needs is someone to develop a controller setup for it and for someone to look into why loading takes so long.

    To get it running on the Playbook I had to remove some unsupported stuff (SDL joystick support and some code that was querying RAM information), change the default paths from the current directory to shared/misc/openBOR, and fix a minor issue with screen creation.

    I've uploaded the bar but you really don't want it. The loading time is really bad. It's supposed to work on Android so there may be fix but given the loading time that this version has I don't have high hopes, sorry. If someone else want to spend some time trying to get it running better just PM me.

    You will need a bluetooth keyboard to be able to play.

    I'm curious to see how it handles and creates file paths. On another note I noticed running Openbor in general on a hand held when you have more than one pak in the paks folder it tends to take a while to load

    Emulator update.

    Latest new emulators are Atari Lynx and UAE amiga with rebuilds of FCEUX/DGEN/ATARI800 so they look better and fit nicely for BB10 L series. The file dialogs are gone since the BPS file selector logic was causing problems on BB10 and at somepoint need to get bluetooth gamepad/joystick integration into SDL ( BB10 supports Wiimote, gamepads).

    Emulators and Emulator News for BlackBerry PlayBook-nesmario.jpg

    FCEUX, UAE, DGEN, Atari800 tested and modified for better looking layout on BB10.
    DGEN,Atari800 are updated for PB 2.0 platform but work great on BB10. FCEUX,UAE updated for BB10 specifically.


    TODO:
    Fix the speccy emulator
    BT joystick support in SDL ( Wiimote etc ) ,
    file dialogs ,
    Atari ST/STE emulator,
    MAME/MESS port

    I'll be releasing the PS and N64 emulators soon for BB10 with a cascades front-end. I'll hopefully have an initial release in the next week or so.

    GBColor (Original Game Boy/Game Boy Color) works perfectly for me, except for the D-Pad looking wierd. VBAM (Game Boy Advance) appears to technically work, but the display is extremely messed up making it unusable. Both of these are just the bar files from their respective links at the first post of this thread.

    Looks like they announced support for gamepads:

    Any chance we could see this integrated into the emulators? I'd love to get some emulator gamepad support.

    I'll be adding it to PS1 and N64 in the near future. It's been on my list for a bit but without a supported pad it's not top priority for me.

    I think the Wiimote is probably the lowest point of entry for anyone looking for a controller. Its not as nice as the other ones but its only $30 or so.

    PS1 and N64 released for BlackBerry 10. See the threads in BlackBerry 10 Games forum.
