HTC HD2 plays Tekken 3 using FPSECE emulator

Not much to say here other than there's a PlayStation emulator for the HD2 and it bloody well works! The original gangster of consoles, already emulated on other WinMo devices such as Toshiba's TG01, has made its way to HTC's finest thanks to version 0.10 of the First PlayStation Emulator for Windows CE. You can hit the read link to find out how to get it up and running on your own handset, and then we'll naturally expect you to come back and tell us how good it felt to play Final Fantasy VII in a whole new way. The more impatient among you will already be watching video of the HD2 running Tekken 3 effortlessly after the break, so go join 'em already.

@Chefgon
According to the source used in the Wikipedia article, the US called the original PlayStation PSX for short while the rest of the world just used PlayStation.

How the hell do you know what buttons your pressing? I get the arrows but what about the rest.

[bureX Posted Dec 30th 2009 8:07PM]

This is pretty much the definition of awesomeness

[MaxL Posted Dec 30th 2009 8:09PM]

If you don't invest in a controller then prepare for a mighty figerprinted screen.

[AA Alex Posted Dec 30th 2009 8:13PM]

@MaxL

WOW! Really? But me never could has think that when touch then fingerprint at skreen :( me angry

[MaxL Posted Dec 30th 2009 8:20PM]

@AA Alex

I was merely making a point.

douchebag.

[jon Posted Dec 30th 2009 8:23PM]

@MaxL

While he was sort of a dick about it, your point was kinda pointless.

[AA Alex Posted Dec 30th 2009 8:25PM]

@MaxL

Me douchebag. Bad Alex, bad!

[MaxL Posted Dec 30th 2009 8:27PM]

@jon

Not really. I wouldn't off said it about any other game accept for fighting ones such as tekken which are built on the foundations of button mashing. On a screen with no tacticle feedback your thump will be lickly be missing the right area and hitting another causing a larger spread of fingerprints unlike RPG's and FPS when you take time with finger placement

plus how can there be a pointless point, that way its just a less

[jon Posted Dec 30th 2009 8:49PM]

@AA Alex

And the dicking continues.

+1 for Alex.

[jon Posted Dec 30th 2009 8:32PM]

@MaxL

"plus how can there be a pointless point, that way its just a less"

Kinda my point.

As far as the fingerprints, it's a touch screen phone. It's gonna be covered in fingerprints, regardless of what you run on it. Everyone here knows that, pointing it out is a waste of points.

That was my point.

[MaxL Posted Dec 30th 2009 8:33PM]

@jon

My friends Iphone is not covered in fingerprints and he plays games and such. With fighting games your going to add much more pressure leaving a more desnse fingerprint.

So its still not a pointless point.

[jon Posted Dec 30th 2009 8:43PM]

@MaxL

Unless it's a 3GS with the oleophobic coating, I'm calling BS.
I've seen a dozen iPhones with fingerprinty screens.
It's the nature of the beast.

[TareG Posted Dec 30th 2009 9:02PM]

@MaxL
Not really, THIS AIN'T AN IPHONE. The HD2's screen repels fingerprints and the like (a sweaty face) way better than any other phone out there.

[jon Posted Dec 30th 2009 9:09PM]

@TareG

*Terrible Jim Carey impression*
Reeeeaaaaaallllllyyy?

Sweet, another check in the plus column.

[TareG Posted Dec 30th 2009 8:23PM]

So what? I've been watching countless clips of flawless PSX emulation on the TG01 for many months already.

[AA Alex Posted Dec 30th 2009 8:30PM]

@TareG

You think iPhone fanboys know what is Toshiba? Even if they do, they wouldn't care. But if it's HTC that is when they get angry

[shagrath Posted Dec 30th 2009 8:25PM]

Too bad this is a closed source program, this could be ported over other platforms...

[HustleHard101 Posted Dec 30th 2009 8:27PM]

Thanks for reminding me what a lack luster phone line up Sprint has lol.. Man I want this phone!

[HTCHD2 Posted Dec 30th 2009 8:57PM]

thats sweet plus the size of screen makes it even sweeter

[Lectronsect Posted Dec 30th 2009 9:00PM]

Tekken 3 Rocked My World.

[brothaa Posted Dec 30th 2009 9:03PM]

i think if they had some sort of easy remote dock for game control on these phones, its really quite crappy

however i think having controls around the sides that you could snap on would be pretty great

[SarnGate Posted Dec 30th 2009 9:15PM]

I actually own an HD2, and the screen gets finger prints on it just as easily as the iPhone.

[jon Posted Dec 30th 2009 9:18PM]

@SarnGate

As easy as the 3GS or the 3G?
Different screen coatings and all.

[sinai Posted Dec 30th 2009 9:15PM]

PORTABLE PERSONA 4!

consider mind blown

[sinai Posted Dec 30th 2009 9:16PM]

@sinai

wait, psone? goddamit

[SomePerson Posted Dec 30th 2009 9:37PM]

I noticed a little bit of lag, especially when you notice Law's animation. Maybe the ram is filled up or something, but I remember Tekken 3 running faster. Aside from that, this is why Touch Screen only phones make bad gaming devices. Had the controls been visible - transparent or not - it would cover about half the screen. Maybe more. Had this thing run on something like the Touch Pro 2 with snapdragon(or even the Droid), playing this game would be more enjoyable. That's why I laugh when people consider the iPhone as a "handheld gaming device".

Been playing on my Samsung Omnia for ages.

[i8yourballs Posted Dec 30th 2009 9:45PM]

i want an n64 emulator for windows mobile. If the iphone 3gs can do it so can the hd2.

[psykick5 Posted Dec 30th 2009 9:53PM]

Oh. My. God.

Beautiful...

[boe Posted Dec 30th 2009 10:18PM]

It sure sucks not being able to get this phone from Sprint - EVER.

[Plazmic Flame Posted Dec 30th 2009 10:50PM]

I don't care who you are or what you like but this is pretty damn epic!!!

Can I play Final Fantasy 7?~!!! If I can, it will kill the PSP instantly for me!!

[Wesscoast Posted Dec 30th 2009 11:18PM]

@Plazmic Flame

seriously, how many times have you beaten FF7.. doesn't it going boring ...?

[Dusty Posted Dec 30th 2009 11:15PM]

Awesome!

[gotwillk Posted Dec 30th 2009 11:41PM]

goddamn i would love to see some FF7 gameplay on this thing.

[wanderer9 Posted Dec 31st 2009 2:22AM]

How do you tell what button you are pressing? What if I want to press triangle circle square at the same time?

[Epyon Posted Dec 31st 2009 3:44AM]

This has been possible for over 2 years!

I've been running FPSEce .09.6 for that long on my iPAQ hx2490. I've got many games to run great, including Gran Turismo, MechWarrior 2, Hi-Octane, Driver, Destruction Derby, Battle Tanx, RoboPit, and many others. I need to overclock to 650mhz to avoid dropping a lot of frames, but they all are very playable.
Physical buttons make it a much nicer experience.

[Meller Posted Dec 31st 2009 3:58AM]

damn,, think i know what to do with da phone now :O

[2d546a2d Posted Dec 31st 2009 4:55AM]

Anyone else freaked out by the way his thumb moves at about 0:17? @_@

Awesome vid... I was thinking about getting this phone, too...

[305BuddyLuv Posted Dec 31st 2009 7:14AM]

Yup; I hope the HD2 drops in the US next month. I am wanting more and more every everyday.

[iang123 Posted Dec 31st 2009 10:59AM]

Well, I got the HTC HD2 a couple of days ago and was really happy with it and thought it was far supirior to the Iphone accept for one thing. The sound quality is awful when playing music through head phones. Turn it up more than half way and the whole thing gets horribly distorted. This was that much of a let down that the phone is going back. I am disapointed that I had to, but playing music that sounds decent is important!
