go41cx for android

[Jeff_Kearns]

There has been remarkably little chatter about this emulator in the past year (or two). I recently turned in my blackberry for a Samsung Galaxy S4 (SGS4) and have downloaded the free go41c emulator. It looks really good and I am most impressed.

There are, however, some negative comments regarding the paid go41cx version on the SGS4 (including lack of response from Olivier de Smet) and I wonder if anyone can advise if the go41cx is worth the money ~ $9. Some comments state it doesn't work at all...

Here is a recent example from April 28th 2014:

"Can't load Modules or Overlays on SGS4 Kitcat I have a Samsung galaxy S4, Ver 4.4.2 (Kitcat). When trying to create the Import/Export Folders eg "go41cx" etc, the error message = "Unfortunately, o2s.emul.hp41cx has stopped." (However the Folders were created.) I copied the Modules & Overlays into the appropriate Folders. But the files are not visible to be able to be select for one of the 4 ports. What's needed is an update to allow these valuable functions to work, I have sent 6 Emails to the Developer but only received 1 automated reply."

There is a comment from Olivier from Jan 19 2014 that I don't understand and would appreciate if someone could advise:

"As told somewhere in the website, DON'T activate any stuff called 'force GPU acceleration' in android prefs, this breaks the android 2.2 compatibility"

Thanks,
