Summer'12 Device Program/New Apps for Nokia Store

2012-05-31T04:56:28Z

31.130.253.8: /* Submissions */

There are many interesting applications for the Nokia N9 that can be found in the community channels but no at the Nokia Store. Some of them would be well received by the N9 users at large, don't you think? This activity brings an incentive for community developers to cover that last mile.

== How to apply ==

The maintainer(s) of an existing community project must apply below to any of these sources:
* http://apps.formeego.org page, own website or any other URL where the app package can be downloaded.
* Forum thread or any other URLs where we can see reviews or user feedback.

The factors to be considered include the popularity of the app and the involvement of the developer(s) in maemo.org or other communities.

* If the app looks suitable for the Nokia Store: congratulations! We will send you the device as soon as it's published.
* If not, then reasons will be provided in order to give you a chance to address them.

There is a section about missing apps available for the N9 but not published in the Nokia Store at [http://www.developer.nokia.com/Community/Wiki/Apps_Missing#They_exist.2C_but_not_in_the_Nokia_Store this wiki page]. Your help identifying those apps is welcome.

Questions and feedback about the submissions are welcome in [http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=84589 this forum thread].

A working package is available on the app project page, but it needs some further work to show a connect to network prompt so that it does not fail when there is no internet connectivity - then I'll be able to submit to the Nokia store.

[[Image:Gba_gpSP.png|thumb|alt=Game Boy handheld|Game Boy handheld]]

gpSP (game play SP) is a Game Boy Advance emulator, made by Exophase, for use with the Sony PlayStation Portable and GP2X video game systems. There have been ports to iPod the iOS, Maemo, Symbian and many others.

The PSP version runs most commercial games at full speed, however some still have problems from minor or severe glitches, while others are very slow. The GP2X version is similar to the PSP one, but typically slower. Unlike VisualBoyAdvance, which high-level emulates the GBA BIOS, gpSP requires a GBA BIOS file in order to operate. Due to copyright reasons, this BIOS cannot be included with the emulator by Exophase, and users must dump it on their own using a Game Boy Advance flash cartridge. Some games do not need the BIOS file to play, however most do.

To date, gpSP has proven to be the most efficient, compatible and widely used of all GBA emulators for the PSP, GP2X.

Exophase has stopped working on the PSP version of GpSP, in favor of the GP2X and Pandora versions of gpSP. Future versions of gpSP will be closed source due to the constant third-party re-release of gpSP against Exophase's wishes.

== Installation ==

{{ambox|text=gpSP for Maemo is already avaiable on Maemo Repositories,
What means you can eighter use your favourite app manager
to install it, or go through the following command on
xterminal.:

<pre>
apt-get update
apt-get install gpspmgui
</pre>

After you have installed gpSP, you must set right permissions to keys,
folders, emulator, etc. that is pretty easy, and should be done by following
these commands.:

<pre>
root
mkdir -P /home/user/.config/Team16/gpsp/
chmod 777 /opt/maemo/usr/games
chown user /opt/maemo/usr/games
chown -R user:users /home/user/.config/Team16
chmod 666 /opt/gpspm/conf.gpsp
</pre>

Does that seems like a lot to type? Well, it's worth it, you are
getting a premium quality emulator on your hands for free, come on,
don't be lazy =)

}}

== How to uninstall ==

{{ambox|text= If you wish to uninstall gpSP from your phone, simply use
app manager.
And that should uninstall gpSP from your device
}}

== How to run ==

Simply use the icon ! Enjoy your games!

* Make sure you have a copy of a gba_bios.bin on MyDocs.
Since we can't provide you one due to legal reasons, you can
eighter dump one from a gba, or download one through internet.

* Once you've grabbed one, make sure to copy it into MyDocs,
then, press the top bar menu of gpSP emulator > GUI Config >
Copy bios. Then just select the gba_bios.bin file you copied
to MyDocs, the gui will make all the dirty work.

* Next step is to select a Directory where you stored your roms,
and the gui will automatically find and list all of them for you.
Top bar menu > GUI config > Rom directory.

* After that, the GUI may require reboot, so simply close it
and open again, your roms shall be listed for you.
Notice they may be on .zip or .GBA or .gba roms.

* Select a rom you wish to play, and push "Configure" button.
After this, a list of options will be shown to you, and these
options are.:

== Options ==

- Screen options.:

* Unscaled : Native gba resolution ( 240 x 160 )

* Scaled 2x : Twice gba screen ( 480 x 320 )

* Scaled 3x : 3 times a gba original screen ( 720 x 480 )

* Fullscreen : Fills up entire N900 screen ( 800 x 480 )

- Frameskipping.:

*Off : Do not skip any frames.

* Auto : Skip up to N frames ( N avaiable as an option ), automatically and consecutively.

* Manual : Always render 1 out of N + 1 frames, these frames will always be skipped.

* Random Skipping : May make imagine in some games smoother, when image flickers, but may also make image quality worse, especially in high motion games.

* Uniform Skipping : May make image on high motion games better, just the opposite of random skip.

- Audio Buffering.:
Set the size (in bytes) of the audio buffer. Larger values may result in slightly better performance at the cost of latency; the lowest value will give the most responsive audio.

* Please, notice that low values are buggy, so please be sure to only choose values above 4096 bytes.

- FF ( Fastforward )
Is supposed to make emulator run faster than normal, what can prove to be useful in some games ( Subject to test workability ).

== Some games workarounds ==

On some games, you will need workarounds for now to get them working.

-Kingdom Hearts

{{ambox|text= Simply, before the game freezes on intro video, quicksave the
game, then load it back, it should work normally!

* Auto : Skip up to N frames ( N avaiable as an option ), automatically and consecutively.

* Manual : Always render 1 out of N + 1 frames, these frames will always be skipped.

* Random Skipping : May make imagine in some games smoother, when image flickers, but may also make image quality worse, especially in high motion games.

* Uniform Skipping : May make image on high motion games better, just the opposite of random skip.

- Audio Buffering.:
Set the size (in bytes) of the audio buffer. Larger values may result in slightly better performance at the cost of latency; the lowest value will give the most responsive audio. This option requires gpSP to be restarted before it will take effect.

** Please, notice that low values are buggy, so please be sure to only choose values above 4096 bytes.

- FF ( Fastforward )
Is supposed to make emulator run faster than normal, what can prove to be useful in some games ( Subject to test workability ).

== Some games workarounds ==

On some games, you will need workarounds for now to get them working.

-Kingdom Hearts

{{ambox|text= Simply, before the game freezes on intro video, quicksave the
game, then load it back, it should work normally!
