I have downloaded the SNES emulator, installed it via DDB however, every time i click on the app on my PB it doesn't open. Any ideas? I'm running on the 2.1 beta. Please help. Thanks in advance.

Does it open and close when you press it? If yes you need to add a rom to the folder created on your playbook.

misc\snes9x-pb\rom
you should put the rom in that folder.

any joy with a possible mame release?

**damianiw** · 10-16-2012, 05:12 PM

Mame would be amazing but so would any type of controller support!

**Serdic** · 10-22-2012, 11:17 PM

For the GBA one: Probably late but did you get 1.0.1.3? They fixed the folder problem so that now you can switch games instead of it just loading up the first one in the original rom file.

Enjoy.

would be nice to have a NDS emulator in the works!

**xsacha** · 11-16-2012, 06:16 PM

NDS4droid is coming along well. Works decently on my Tegra 3 device but I don't have high hopes for Playbook.
Will wait until I see what the jit is capable of.

**Xopher** · 11-16-2012, 06:45 PM

Are there any GameGear emulators?

**JimiDiGriz** · 11-22-2012, 02:08 AM

Do any of the above emus work with SMS roms? The DGEN thread seems to suggest it doesn't. I have a hankering to play Wonderboy in Monsterland.

Hi guys anyone working on an emulator for Sega Master System?

**MakingOrangeThings** · 11-25-2012, 11:41 PM

Please add the nintendo gamecube to the request list, I think that'd be a great system to add to the playbook regardless of having the L and R buttons.

**xsacha** · 11-28-2012, 06:53 PM

Playbook isn't fast enough for Nintendo Gamecube / Wii.

Also, the project is going to require OpenGL ES 3.0 and possibly a Cortex-A15 CPU (for VFPv4).

Project is here: Changes - dolphin-emu - Dolphin, a Gamecube / Wii / Triforce Emulator - Google Project Hosting

**WilkyJTS** · 12-23-2012, 06:08 AM

I need help

I've got the PlayStation emu and opened it on the playbook then cancelled it as it said to create the folders... I went to my computer and added a Rom in the correct folder... I've only discovered about the sch001 file to go in the bios folder but my problem is now I can't get the folders on my computer to put it into the bios folder

I've tried opening the psx emu ans rebooting the playbook... any ideas?

**travisredpath** · 12-24-2012, 01:05 AM

I was hoping to have all of the SNK emulators done before posting here but since the NeoGeo Pocket is giving me some problems I've decided to post now. Here are links to the threads for the SNK emulators that I have running:

NeoGeo - NeoGeo on the Blackberry Playbook
NeoGeo CD - Neo Geo CD for the Blackberry Playbook

**Vito Corleone** · 12-28-2012, 01:20 AM

A request, not sure if possible: a gamecube emulator. Also, a wiki page for the psx emu to know what games works. And wha doenst

**Lucar** · 12-29-2012, 01:28 PM

A month ago i ported a SMS Plus (Sega Master System and Game Gear emulator) to Playbook.
I think it works pretty good.
Sorry but I have no time to create a Release.
