OK, I have searched the net, Google's it, searched other emulator dies and haven't found an answer
My questionis: is it possible to run an a Tom on android natively( without a dedicated emulator)
I found a company called happybay has a stand alone app that plays chronotrigger itself. After decompiling the app I found several core.zip files, some kind of engine, and some other miscellaneous files for on screen controls. All the core elements were DRM protected so it was all just gibberish.
Anyway, could someone help me understand how this "could" be done or if I'm just chasing a pipe dream?

Do you mean running only a single ROM that auto-loads when you start the application?

If so, there is a way to do this through the config file in the Windows build of SNES9x. Not sure about the Android port though.

These suggestions are usually the solution to your issue!

Yes and no. yes I want to have a simple ROM with the box cover art as the icon
No I don't want it to auto play when selected. I want to know if an emulator can be integrated into the android system so when I click the icon it runs the game.
if this isn't possible can an emulator and a ROM be bundled together to as a stand alone app?
If someone can could share their thoughts on this and point me in the right direction I will do all of the work.

Yes, the same way you can pre-load any application and handle filetypes (like the built-in gallery app works with images). I don't think this is what you want, though.
Technically, yes; legally, no.

Why do you want to do this? There might be a better solution.

I get tired of scrolling through all of the games I have acquired over the years. I have a lot of games over 300. a lot of them are games myself and a friend of mine stationed in Japan have translated.
and to be honest with you, I got an clerks play and there is a program called psxperia that bundles a ps emulator and an ISO tobetter and turns it into an apk. and I thought it would be cool to do this for she's games. didn't know it was illegal though.

methinks you should double-check your phone's autocorrect

you could always split your ROM collection and have a separate sub-folder for commonly-played games - the other nice thing about this is it's completely platform-agnostic and follows your ROM collection wherever it may go.

Yeah, I got a different keyboard now, haha.
So any way, I don't know if I'm explaining myself correctly. I was born in America so my English ain't so good.
I want to do one of two things:
1. Integrate an snes emulator into the android system so I can convert a rom to an apk(whick is just another zipped file) so that it canbe placed on my homescreen as an Icon so when I select it, it auto loads and plays as if it were just another android game.

Or

2. Bundle a rom and an emulator together so that when I select it from my homescreen, it auto loads and plays. A previous responce in this post informed me that this second option is illegal.

As long as the end result is a game on my home screen that auto loads when I select it, ill do whatever makes this work. Everyone has been extremely helpful so far but I haven't gotten any real info on how I would go about doing this. Any helpful instructions would be much appreciated.

Like I said before, this should be doable; It works in the Windows port of Snes9x. I can't say for the mobile version, since I don't have a mobile phone.

It would only be illegal if you were to redistribute this packaged version of the emulator with the game ROM. The emulator itself is legal, but the ROM isn't.

Oh awesome, I wouldn't redistribute any of it. I just tryed googleing how to do that but no luck. I also checked the forum, could you provide me a link or just point me in the right direction.?

Here's how you do it in the Windows port though:

Navigate to your Snes9x folder and open snes9x.conf with a text editor such as Notepad, vi, Notepad++, PSPad, or other similar text-only editors.

On line 14 of snes9x.conf:



Type in the ROM's filename (ROMFILE.smc, for example) after the equal sign, if the ROM is in the current directory. If the ROM is in a different directory, type the full absolute path, or relative path.

Examples:

ROM is in the same directory as snes9x.exe:


ROM is in a directory lower than snes9x.exe's directory:


ROM is in a directory higher than snes9x.exe's directory, or on a different drive:


Quotes are required if the full path to the ROM contains spaces, such as "C:\Program Files\Snes9x\Snes Roms\ROMFILE.SMC".
