i tried to install the program but the application loader does not even see the program as a valid file type.
i am using a 7100i with desktop manager 4.1

can someone assist me in getting this up and running?

I downloaded the VNES emualtor and the file is VNES.SIS. Anyone know how to get that installed on your handheld?

I just downlaoded the J2Me Version and there is a VNES.Jar. I'm assuming this is the correct one but still unsure how to get the jar file installed on the 8700. Any help would be much appreciated ;)

Has anyone gotten this to work? I've been dying to get this working

There are instructions on converting JAR to COD somewhere on this forum. Try searching "convert JAR COD". Also try checking the midlet link in my BlackBerry FAQ. This may provide links to the necessary info, too..

I ported the nescafe source to the blackberry, but its waaaay too slow. I'm getting about 1-2fps.

I wish I knew more about byte code optimization or any other suggestions to make it faster. I can probably get the speed up a bit but I think it'll take a miracle to increase the speed by 20 or 30x.

If it worked it would be really cool cause my app can download roms right off the internet.

Also since the VNES emulator is pretty much playable, I've got a lot more respect for the work those guys did to make it run fast.

What model BlackBerry are you playing the VNES emulator on?

[bb4lfe]

This would be great!!

[abhorrentbm]

Running on a 7520 nets about 4.5 FPS

Still nice to see it running, though.

I just got an 8700 and the first thing I tried to do was get vNes running at a decent speed. It SHOWS that I'm getting like 20-30 FPS but I'm only getting around 2. Was anyone able to find any way to get at least 10 or something?

[tmlosixxt]

does anyone have the file already compiled so i can just use BB desktop to load it on my BB? PLEASE HELP

[MOMOwheeler]

<-- is also curious if this has been worked out yet

[nightwolf]

Anyone get this to work with 7100?

Hi all,

I came accross your thread on google, decided to register. I've got the 8700c Blackberry, and I downloaded the J2ME version of VNES, version 1.2. Not sure if you're aware of it or not, but this version comes pre-packaged with instructions (readme.txt) and a batch file to compile the emulator into a JAR file (assuming you already have the Java SDK loaded somewhere already). Once it's compiled it's not hard to get onto your blackberry and get up and running.

You download the Blackberry JDE, and install that on your desktop/laptop whatever, I installed it in the default location. "C:\Program Files\Research In Motion\BlackBerry JDE 4.2.0"

From their I followed the instruction for converting a jar file to a .COD file.

I placed the vnes.jar file I created into the \bin directory of the BlackBerry JDE "C:\Program Files\Research In Motion\BlackBerry JDE 4.2.0\bin" and then
ran the conversion from this directory exactly as follows.

rapc import="c:\Program Files\Research in Motion\Blackberry JDE 4.2.0\lib\net_rim_api.jar" codename=vnes -midlet vnes.jar

this created the vnes.cod file which then you can load by typing the following command (assuming you've connected your blackberry via the USB cable:

javaloader -usb load vnes.jar

that's it! Now it should be loaded on your blackberry 8700c with a nice icon. I reset the screen size to 50, and remapped all the buttons, but it seems to work pretty good. You can press the little "enter" button on the blackberry to initially get it going. I tested it with metroid and it works fine. Keep in mind the Java version has no sound.

-The LT was here-

vnes aint free.

plus i seriously doubt u are getting more than 15 fps. anything under that is unplayable.

[CableGuy711]

this would be really cool for downtime, or times when our meetings are just not getting anything done.

too it doesnt seem to be working well just yet.... hopefully soon

[jrdul6748]

Any updates on this working on the Pearl? Anyone... Anyone...

[pradaisgood]

i used javaloader with success, but I don't see an icon on my 8100.

I'll have to keep you posted.
