The box will appear to not change, but if you look at the key mapping ID (ie.. 0x4b, 0x4C) it will change with each button you push. It would be nice if it actually displayed the key you push, but hey it still works.

you dont install it. you copy it to your Q..open it from the file manager and go to options then properties and check the box that asks you to associate all .nes files. exit the program and then go back to the file manager and open any .nes file and youll be able to play.

It's been asked a few times...and I haven't seen an answer...

Everything is working great, but the key mappings do not save after you exit pocketnesterplus... are you all mapping the keys everytime you run the program, or are you just leaving the program in memory? What a pain!

There's no way to save the key config as default or anything. What's the secret guys? Gals? Thanks.

you have to download a file called tgetfile.dll
do a search on google for that file and install it

First off, you'll need the Emulator. Here is a link to download the NES emulator on your Q along with the Mario Bros. ROM.

How to use:

1) unzip the Emulator and ROM to your desktop
2) connect your Q to Active Sync
3) explore your Q and navigate to your storage card (or device if you don't have a SD card)
4) copy the file "PocketNesterPlus.exe" to your SD card (I made a NES directory)
5) copy the Mario Bros. ROM "Mario Bros. Classic (E) [!].nes" to your SD card (I put this in a folder NES>MarioBros)
6) go to the File Explorer on your Q and navigate to the NES directory and click on the file "PocketNesterPlus"

This will launch the Emulator. Once it's running do the following.

1) click Options > Preferences and from here click "Associate .NES files" and click "ok"
2) click Options > Display and check the radio button for "Landscape Left" and click "ok"
3) click Options > Controllers and configure your controls. Highlight a box and then click the key you want for that function. The app will record that button. I used the D pad for movement and the A button for A, Q for B, S for Start and M for Menu. You can do whatever you like here. Note the D pad is reversed for some reason so it will take some playing around to get it right.
4) Now hit "File > Exit" and close the app.

You can't launch games from within the Emulator for some reason. To play a game, you must navigate to the .NES ROM file location and click on it. This will launch the Emulator and start the game.

I've yet to find a NES game that won't run on this puppy. Since we can attach files to posts here, I will zip up a few of my ROMs and attach them to other messages.

Enjoy!

btw - do you know if we can play SNES on our Q using same emulator? If so, where can we get the SNES ROMS?

Also, I see a lot of people are having troubles with NES still. So, check the link below i'm hoping that you all can get it to work now.

INTERESTING!!! Using the same Emulator that played NES? If so, where can we get the SNES ROMS? Many Thanks!
