Hello,
Just got a Play today for use with emulators as it's perfect for physical buttons. But to my surprise there is a lag in it and I mean big time.
By default it's set to auto frame skip max 2, if i leave it like that then the game looks like its jumping really badly but it sounds fine. If i set the skipping to 0 then it runs smoothly but theres this annoying poping and clicking sound on the speakers.
Some people might say i should talk to the developer of the emulators. But this isnt an issue with them, as i dont see any other users with these issues and I don't really belive them to be true when lower devices run these emulators without issues.
I'm running stock formware 2.3.3 latest update. I havent removed any system apps at all literally just bought the play, updated software, loaded emulators and discovered this.
For snes I use supergnes and it has the best sound I have ever seen outside of bsnes, no crackling and a nice front end for launching games.

Thanks that one looks really nice and seems to work better than Snesoid!
Just remove some of the stuff on your homepages, like the game launchers, and the Timescape widget, also the photo and video one too, and the emulators should run better.

I'm making a video to demonstrate the problems. I'll add it to youtube shortly hopefully people can then tell if it's normal or not.
EDIT: Heres the video
Description:
In this video I play Gameboid with pokemon first showing it with frameskip set to auto and 0, and you need to listen carefully to the sound so you can hear that it crackles all the time which is very annoying. I then change the frameskip to 2 which is the default and you can then see that the game skips and jumps and is just too laggy to be belivable.
After that i try out Gensoid and you can see the same results from me running sonic. I get this result with every game i try. I also tried md.emu for sega but it was better but still skipped when the frameskip wa set to auto.
If anyone knows what I can do to solve this please let me know iw ould greatly aphiciate it as i bought the play JUST for emulators, if it doesnt play them then its totally a waste of money for me.
As soon as I got mine, I updated to 2.3.4, and tried Outrun(mame), Sonic 1, and 2 Gensoid), and Contra(Snesoid), both had bad sound, just like on my old phone, which really wasn't up to the job, but on removing Timescape, and that stupid photo and video widget, and the emulators virtual pads, they ran like a charm, Gensoid, Snesoid, and Mame4Droid all work fine, with no sound issues now.
Mame4Droid, I unticked Threaded Sound, as it seemed to cause issues, the others were left with stock settings, bar the virtual screen buttons removed.
I see, I was thinking that i'm the only one with the issues. Well in the end I went to the MIUI build on here and went away from the 'oid' series. Belive it or not but I found Genesis A.D. and MD.Emu to be faster and full speed or at least 99.99%. genplusdroid had a problem it was running slow and also the sound was a tone lower.
Also Snes A.D. seems to be full speed with Chrono Trigger sound included. Have yet to try Snes9x.
SNES: check
SEGA: check
GBC: check
PSX: check
MAME: havent tried
ATARI: havent tried
N64: check
GBA: no dice still lags with gameboid and gba player lite is jumpy, anyone know of another?
FPSE has a bad case of crackling sound... but only if the app is on the background. While you're actually using it there is no problem.
Can I find it somewhere? Does it work on Hox?

kool that'll enable to play multiple pop up play videos i believe
Thanks, it works but I think it is not so powerful to play hd video and some powerful apps.. for example SGS3 handle HD movie with GTA3, but on Hox with this programm, video stopps.. hope it is because of Samsun original optimalisation player

anytime!
hmm we cannot though compare just an app with s3's pop up play its ofcourse different and maybe the most advanced one in it..
so as we like open a game or something the software would be configured to be stopped when such happens....
because i guess the app would not be crashing but just pausing/stopping so its already just configured that way, nothing wrong with the awesome htc one x ...
though why would one watch videos while playing games?
still enjoy as now u atleast have a pop-up play! and u can probably do all external things like texting and watching, etc
Why you need to watch video while playing. Guys this is phone and not a monsters. Don't expect more from our phone , unwanted things.

I do not see the point in the pop-up play????
Is this just a gimmick?
This is something you'll try once, then never use again!
You not going to suddenly watch a video then check you email!!!
Makes no sense!!! Just pause what your watching, do your stuff, then come back to watching the video.

Actually I missed this functionality a lot. I like to use my phone on internet and reading stuff more than on laptop but sometimes I just want to play some video or song for its sound (some eduacation stuff) but I hated that It just stopped and I cannot minimalise the video.
But I would prefer to include pop up function to some player like Bsplayer/MX player..
Hi,
i've a another issue with super Video:
smartgpc said:
It is HTC ONE 's video hardware (or driver) bug caused by some video sizes. IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO FIX IT by us.
However you can ask HTC to fix it.
You can also change the video size to prevent the issue.

well friend the pop-up play app i mentioned is : Super Video, Floating and Popup .
the one giving you prob "super video" is different and i guess comes only in paid version.... its upto you that try Super Video, Floating and Popup free version first see if all videos are working fine or not in pop-up, etc(however you want to check) if it works well then ur wish to go for its pro version or just stay on the free one?!
though i want tell pop-up play is really good i saw seen people using it while texting, so mayb its 50-50 that people like it alot and some don't need it.. so totally upto them but atleast this feature can improve anyone's smartphone points i believe... like just for fun saying that you show it to a friend without pop-up play he gives 8 point, so what's wrong when he gives 9 points with pop-up being installed and enjoying its innovative features ?!
cheers!!
I can't seem to get the controller properly set up... can anyone please guide me through this?

Yup, just do what the guy above me said!
One thing to remember tho, actually 2 things
1.The n64 rarely used the L button, so its best to map the n64 Z button to the xperia plays Left trigger.
2.DO NOT map the n64 D-pad to your xperia plays D-pad, once again the n64 rarely used the D-pad, instead, map the n64 analog controls to the corresponding directions on the xperia play.
That may sound kind of confusing but once you familiarize with the N64oid interface its a breeze.
I'm playing Killer Instinct Gold and getting a lot of music/sound skipping and performance lagging... is this normal? If so, any suggestions on how to take care of it?
And does anyone know if I am able to use or map the analog stick for the game? If so, I can't figure it out...

Overclocking/Frameskipping could help the performance issues. N64oid only allows use of the touchpads in ICS or later (which just ends up breaking performance even more).
Is the frame skipping setting in the menu/settings of N64oid?

Did you even attempt to find it yourself? It's in the Audio & Video settings.
If i remember correctly KI Gold didnt work very well so i deleted it.

Yeah, I did... I was asking because, I didn't know if you were referring to a built-in setting or a feature that had to be obtained from another program...

Yes, Mario Kart 64 use to lag like crazy, so I set the frame-rate skip from 3 (I believe) to 1. Now there's no lag. I have audio lag from time to time but I usually have my volume low so it doesn't bother me.
Also there's a *fog* effect in the n64oid setting. That may help some.
Best of Luck man

Shouldn't increasing the frame rate make it faster?
neverwinter said:

Yes but can also increase lag. I leave mine on 1. No problems for the most part.
Setting the framerate to 1 effectively brings the fps down from 60 to 30, which most games look fine at
Has anyone tried the more demanding games? If so how do they compare to other devices?
I'm tempted as I really want to play Xcom on the move(If it's compatible) But I don't want to lose the games I currently play a lot of.
I play X-Com on the 8.4 S and it runs flawlessly. Also played Shadowrun: Returns with no issues.

Name off some games and I will try out the ones I can. I can tell you that GTA San Andreas runs perfect for me.
All my games are flawless as well
Thanks everyone, they are pretty much top of my wanted list. And some of the 2D stuff, but I'd be surprised if it couldn't handle kairosoft games (amongst others)
My current device can't play Xcom or any of the GTAs, so I'll be upgrading tomorrow.
xcom crashes

I installed xcom last night. Runs really well but crashes at certain places such as when you first add an extra generator (but only if you build two things at once) after the first one save then build what ever else it is you want. Also crashes when you first promote someone if you click promote to fast. Just have to find the bugs and avoid them

Majority have been fine but I've run into some slightly weird issues with afew simple/free to play games - Seems like some of them are misdetecting the graphics chipset or something to do with the screen. I know the family guy game wouldnt run initally (null frame error - i think its been fixed now) and the simpsons game seemed to be using the wrong display mode/dpi when i tried it - all the textures seemed blockier than they should be.

I have the WiFi only 8.4 S and I'm having a really hard time trying to play. Sometimes it runs for 30 mins, other times it crashes to home screen immediately upon loading my save file.
I have stock TouchWiz kitkat and I've not rooted yet. Are you rooted, and if so what kernel/rom do you use? I suspect the bloat is messing w my processing power.
Thanks in advance.

At the time I was not rooted and I was using Nova Launcher. I say in past tense as I returned my Tab S 8.4 for the Nvidia Shield Tablet.
Thanks in advance.

I never had it crash or cut out. I do use Clean Master to launch my games with to make sure I get as many resources as possible for the game I am playing. That and Nova Launcher to remove the UI resource hogs.
Overall the Tab S is a great device and I had no issues with it. Unfortunately the Nvidia Shield Tablet was launched within my return policy and I swapped over.

Other games also starting will lag.
you can try and make a factory reset and earase internal storage. Maybe there was a problem or something.
Gets your device hot when you start the game?
How about a benchmark program? Did you make a test and compare to other results on youtube e.g.
Maybe some hardware error or sth. like that.

i tested with AnTuTu benchmark v6.1.4 and i get 53410, how about yours?
Ah just saw ur pn and replied to you. With antutu i got 47514. So from this side it looks okay. Hardware have no issues.
But then I have no idea what could be the problem on your device. My other games are running smoothly, only vainglory is a little laggy.
I am sorry man, I have no other ideas to help you.

Asphalt 8 lags like hell even with performance mode on
its asphalt 8 not the device it is rather optimised and lags on most devices, source from YouTube videos of others playing it on some high end devices.
Possibly the device is not switching to the 2.0ghz a53 part of the octocore?
Question, how well does it run world of tanks blitz?
