Can anyone give me a good step by step guide on how to get this to work? I have the app but dont know how to set everything up. Any help appreciated.
just download the gba bios and put it into a folder made specifically for your gba roms, I used gameboid but any name will work. In the gameboid, look for the BIOS you downloaded and click GBA BIOS file from the menu settings. Hope this helps!

If you're using Rom Buddy then it sets up your rom folders for you and the gba bios is the first download in the gba section.
-download Astro or any app you like that unzips things.
-unzip the GBA bios within that folder which should be Roms/gba/ if you're using Rom buddy
That's it. the games dont have to be unziped to play, they will work.
Im not tech savy
I really have no idea what everyones talking about with the bin's and bios files. But i have the htc evo and installed gameboid last night. i fugred id be able to look up how to get it running to specify the bios file easily on the computer but obviously i was wrong lol i cant figure it out to save my life. could someone just post a step by step guide, starting with when you select gameboid and the message must select BIOS file comes up.. and end it with literally clicking the game to start playing. including downloading the roms, the best sites for them, and creating files. not even sure if i have to hook it up to the computer and do it that way. HELP!!!!

1. Download the GBA Bios (can't upload it for you :/, just google "gba_bios.bin")
2. Open up gameboid and when it asks you for the bios file, just browse for it on your sd card
3. look for roms to download and play, google for "rom freaks" and it should be the 1st result that comes up, best site for gameboy advanced roms, leave the roms in zip format, dont extract them. Just download them and put them on your sd card, then open up gameboid and browse for the roms
that's as simple as it gets, if you can't do it by following those instructions, then maybe you shouldn't be trying to play roms on your phone :/
get a bios make a bios folder on ur sd card put the bios there (must be extracted if its compressed)
select the gba bios youve put on your sd card (on gameboid)
look for roms you want to play wont tell you where to find it since its warezing
make a gba games folder on your sd card
put the roms there
go to gameboid look for the gba games folder
select the rom you want to play
and tADA!
hope that helps
btw if its not working then u my friend arent using the free version
or the paid version
u are using something thats really bad

Hi.
Installed Mame under the guise of 'Tiger Arcade' on my Wildfire. When firing up it states "copy your game ROMs to SDCard"
Question is, where on the SD card do I put them!
Have tried root and a randomly named folder ('Mame ROMs') to no avail.

Actually you just have to create a directory "roms" in the root of your sd card and place your (zipped) roms there. It will play Neo Geo, Capcom ROMs and many others. Look at the wiki for the roms supported. I've tried it and I'm back to the eighties again, only now on Android.
yeah all you have to do is create Roms directory on /sdcard and leave them zipped (DO NOT UNZIP) and works fine.
have fun!!
roms
Jjust untick quick seach for roms in the setting menu then it doesnt matter where the rom is.

I buy the game but after a correct install process, it require a data download (40mb) but after a few second it say "...error..you device is not supported".
Then I install Worms on my Desire, all works fine, I zipped the Worms-Drawer with extra data and move the zip file to my A101.
But Worms doesn't start with this trick too...
Some ideas ?
Thanks

Hmm...I think you have rooted your Archos..right ?
i'll check the right path later, i'm currently still at work.
no i have not rooted my archos.
Now WORKS!! When I zipped the Desire's Worms data drawer, I unzip it in a sub directory !!! But if you put the files drawer (yes the drawer's name is FILES) in the right place (storage/Android/data/com.ea.worms_ROW/files, Worms start and it's plays really fine !!!
that sucks.. I don't have any other android device
OK, i really did look n im just more confused so feel free to tell me how too inexperienced i am to be trying "all things root" as long as u follow that w/ the answer.
So i want to install "setCPU" zip file from this site cuz i dont currantly have a bank account (long story-cash,fine-debit/credit,no) so i assumed i could treat it just like an upgrade (thru CWM) but apparently not so... i checked but posts all seemed to be 4 non-root? Or for GAPPS? SDK? apk files-android package...?(is that the same as zip...or similar? ...GAPPS?...google apps maybe? im so lost i'd have to do a weeks worth of researsh b4 i get results...
Orrr, i could ask u guys n get results n knowledge simultaneously...this suits me better as ive allways learned by asking exhaustive questions coupled w/ research, So... how can i achieve this?
Oh i did see 1 post where it said to un-zip n place on sd n open w a file mgr. but i had already tried this. i tried to open w/ appInstaller, but it couldn't be found. Why cant i treat as upgrade? is there any particular place on sd card to put it? Is the "read me" me file necessary? should i place both files in folder?
[also do i really need to subscribe to my ow threads to be saved? why arent my posts auto-saved as in other sites or are they?where? ....u guys must hate me]
You are over-complicating things. You just have to first unzip the file to access the APK, then install it as you would any other application. No updating/flashing/whatever required. I used Astro file explorer to unzip it and then again to install it after downloading it to my TBolt. I'm sure other file explorers have the same capabilities.
You do know SetCPU is free for xda members right?

CRAAAAP! im sorry all i had to do was read!!!! in my defence other "read me" files have seemed to say absolutely nothing. please dont ban me yet... i'll get btr
yeah thanks really i tried all of that but this is how dumb i am: 1st all i had to do was open and read 2nd when i figured out wat to do the hard way cuz i wouldnt read, i had my phone plugged in to PC so app intaller couldnt read it duh.. thnks 4 responding tho
k so i installed then uninstalled so i could try something new. Does anyone know how to do this maually as im trying to be more knowledgeable n resourceful. i got to the part where i have to "navigate to the directory where the setcpu.apk is found" and type in command line to install... and im lost.
how do i navigate anywhere? all i can do is type. after i type "adb devices" a bunch of script pops up w/ my device info but no "setcpu.apk." above.
I read the 1st post but your kinda getting me lost. I have a couple questions.
1. What are you trying to do?
2. Why is there a zip?
3. Are you trying to install setcpu?
If you're trying to install setcpu click on the link I gave you a couple post up. The link will direct you to a post where SetCPU is free and in an apk format. Download the apk onto your phone and install it using whatever file explorer you want to use. Open the file explorer and find the SetCPU apk and install it. FYI If you are not rooted SetCPU will not work. You must hit menu, setting, applications, and allow (check) unknown sources.
no i figured it out. it was a zip file w/ apk n directions i didnt bother to read cuz i thought it was just credits or watever. i was do'n everything right but my file manager wasnt reading anything at the time (i was so frustated that i prob. had phone plugged in to PC n just didnt realize) cuz it worked later...
NOW i want to do it the hard way... i KNOW- stupid but i gotta start somewhere. i cant find the directory where setcpu is located in ADB but i'll figure it out. Suggestions welcome but its certainly not pressing im just OCD thanks 4 all the help
anyway your way wouldve been much easier. i guess i missed the link earlier
You've gotta put the apk in the platform-tools folder. Mine would be C:\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools. To navigate adb to that folder I type cd C:\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools in command prompt. Hey you know there's a "ADB for dummies" thread, right? LOL I used it when I first learned. Here's another adb tutorial

Ok.to install "setCPU" I did Wut was suggested above. After I type the 1st command it repeats the "sdk" directory (i think its called) bak to me n on that line I typed:
"adb install setcpu.apk"
Then it says:
"can't find 'setcpu.apk' to install.
I have the .apk (unzipped) file in the "platform-tools" folder. Wut am I do n wrong?

If you're a masochist and want AIR on your OV, do this:
Download the SDK (google it, it's freely available from Adobe), go looking in the runtimes directory. There should be an android directory, and in there you'll see device and emulator. Install the emulator APK, and AIR apps should be installable via the market.
Of course being Adobe bloatware, it's really, really slow. And, yeah, AIR apps look like **** warmed over, don't integrate at all with the stock Android UI, etc.
Looks like it requires Gingerbread.
This made my day, my week even, probably my entire month. I develop flash apps, and export them to run with AIR, but haven't been able to use them on my Optimus V. But thanks to this I now can.
Thanks soooooo much.

1/ It will NOT help with your browsing.
2/ No, I am NOT using it. I am having hard time uninstalling this junk on PCs where it keeps creeping back with other Adobe stuff.
3/ YES, the method in the OP works.
3/ YES, your spelling definitely sucks big time.
many thanks to doktornotor for this method.
I'm a total noob so it took a little googling for me to figure out your instructions. Figured I'd post my steps here in case anyone is as noobish (nooby?) as me.
First, go to the android marketplace and install "appinstaller" (it's free) if you don't already have it.
Then go to abode.com and type "air sdk" into the search bar. You should see a link that says "download adobe air sdk".
Choose your version (I'm on windows). And wait for the download.
Once the .zip file has downloaded to your system, open it and browse to the "runtimes" folder. Open it and then open the "air" folder inside it. Then open the "android" folder, followed by the "emulator" folder.
So it's SDK.zip->runtimes->air->android->Runtime.apk
Put the Runtime.apk file on your desktop.
Plug your phone into your computer and put the Runtime.apk file on your sd (I put in the download folder).
Then disconnect your phone and run the AppInstaller app. Find the Runtime.apk file you just downloaded and hit install.
Wait 30 seconds.
If all goes well, congratulations, you now have adobe air!
Thank again. You're a real life saver!
Trying to do this on my Optimus S, should be similar enough to work shouldn't it?
I don't have gingerbread installed currently, however my tablet running froyo installed the latest Adobe Air from the market, so is GB really a requirement here?
My Optimus is still on Froyo for now, could that be why this isn't installing?
pls upload Runtime.apk
You may now upload that Runtime.apk to megaupload or filehippo and update a link?
It will be a lot of help if done so.
Or you can PM (Private Message) me the file and i will upload it.
thanks a lot in advance.
edit :
You can upload in this thread itself you can edit the post and down below and see Attach Files... much more easier ;-)

I'll be trying it out today
Too many owners LG phones have problems with installed Adobe AIR Runtime.
I know it from personal experience.
I have installed this app and I cannot figure this out!!!!!!!!!
Its driving me crazy.
my understanding: load a bios file for the psx **** and then an Iso and you should be good 2 go!?
this thing wont let me load a bios file it says load bios file when i find it in the directory it changes and says load ISO file!
and where do I find the ISO files? do they need conversions or something??
thanx in advance

Make the iso from your disks buddy.

The ISO is the file of the game
Like duuuuuur but really make a back up of your psx game..if not I'm sure Google could help you out.not gna give any links
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA
It will run a bin and possibly other file types as well but most backups are going to be an ISO
If you have the game available you can use a burning program to backup the disk to an ISO file and it should load without an issue...
Other than that info do some Google searches as there is information on how to use this app all over the place.
-My build.prop thinks I'm a GT-I9300 but alas this is still my OG Epic 4G with CM9
Its working right. You successfully loaded bios now just need to load your psx game ISO.
