vBoy Symbian 1.3 beta for S60 3rd version phones Release

[vSeries]

Updated information:
1. Rom directory changed:
(1) If you install vBoy on phone memory, you can put your roms into the directory "\Others\vBoy"(in fact, it is "\data\Others\vBoy",but only "data" directory is visible in phone memory if you use file manager of Nokia)
(2) If you install vBoy on memory card, you can put your roms into the directory "\data\Others\vBoy"

2. Subdirectory supported
You can make new subdirectories in the rom directory. It can be recognized when you play.

3. Some small bugs fixed.
*******************boundary********************************

Any feedback for this beta version will be appreciated.

Because of the limits for programs which are not certified in S60 3rd version phones, we have to change the method of filling the screen. The efficiency is much lower than before:( So you may feel the speed a little slow when you use a full-screen option, especially for those 352*416 resolution phones. Users of those phones can set size option "double". We are currently seeking a method to solve this problem.

The following function is not supported:
***Automatically recognize roms which are sent by bluetooth or infrared. You must put your roms into the directory "Others\vBoy" directly. You can do this by card-reader or USB.

The download link is

Note:

You may need to do the following steps in order to allow your phone to install vBoy:

1) Open Application Manager
2) Choose Options-> Settings
3) Switch Software installation to *All* (not Certified only)
This will allow you to install non-certified applications.

Please enjoy it!

Thanks for the release!
I'm planning to get a Nokia N73 soon. Would have bought an N80 before, but didn't want to loose all the fantastic applications I had on my 6670 because of the 3rd edition phones compatibility.
But now new applications are coming to these phones, so there's no reason why not to have one now.
Congratulations!

great news that another emulator has been updated for s60v3. tried on my n91 but due to the latest firmware refusing to load many 3rd party symbian programs properly it only loads to the file browser, but doesnt load games, just like vnes. It now joins the long list of great programs such as skyforce, best taskman and smartmovie that nokia have somehow blocked without realising on n91.

vBoy is my personal favorite Works great on N80. All games I tried except Mickey's Speedway USA worked at full speed with full sound.



Keep it up vampent

That's weird. The Gamesmaster just got an N91 as well and he is able to run vNes properly. I will ask him on the matter.

[dungden]

Vnes and Vboy beta version couldn't run the games on Nokia N91 lastest firmware. It's only load the menu. Please fix that problem.

[lukuan1990]

I could not save the games. Tried on pokemon silver and crystal. After saving the game, I tried reloading it, it will go back to the list where you select the games. Using N73.

[The Gamesmaster]

I have firmware 1.1???????

and vNes worked on that firmware

I am now trying vBoy and now thinking twice about updating my firmware

[lumothesinner]

yeh gamesmaster dont upgrade, I find my n91 crashes more than the 1.0 firmware i was on before, and vboy, vnes, smartmovie, skyforce and taskman dont work anymore. oh yeah to cap it all off real player doesnt work fullscreen anymore either. all in all nokia have screwed up. wats vboy like on n91 speed wise, esspecially zelda ages and seasons?

[The Gamesmaster]

Speed and sound are perfect! Havent tried saving just yet.

Ages and seasons didnt try but links awakening worked brilliant apart from the controlls.

N91 "joystick" is not very good for playing these types of games

You CAN go diagonal but it is very hard

[lanfriki]

I have intalled vBoy on my N80 its cool.
But it is not possible to save/load games.
Is is so because beta or a bug?

[ElmorePow]

I have N73 and i tried to add my own roms to phone's memory on location Other/vBoy/ but couldn't load any of them.... I'm not using FExplorer (since there havent been release for 3rd edition) so I copied my roms to Other-folder PC suite shows me...

Any suggestions what should i do?

[ElmorePow]

arrgh. sorry for flooding.

[hatman]

Hi,


how do i change the volume? I can't find any menu option and it's quite annoying sitting in the bus with the game sounds coming from the phone...


Thx,
hatman

Why doesnt anyone seem to respond to any questions asked about the loading or saving issue? I have found that when a GBC game is played using vboy 1.3 it creates a .sav file and the game cannot be played again until the .sav file is manually removed. Is there anyway to load the .sav file?. I think if someone has a solution to this question it would help a lot of people.
