Develop Bugs

any one tried any games on android???

ive been trying to get gameboid (gba emulator) working but nothing happens when i open a rom. are there more people who allready have tried this?????
btw are there more people who have tried playing other games on android
its a bit laggy with me but i dont know if it is because we dualboot android or it isnt perfect enough for these games

I'm coming from a G1, so I still have a few games I had already purchased. All my emulators (snes, gen, gba) run pretty slow, it was a little better with the overclocked build before the wifi was added, but no where near as smooth as it played on my G1 (smoothly with sound and no frame skip). I think once they get the OpenGL to work, it should run pretty smoothly, But for now, it's just a waiting game. Be patient.

i have download a newer version of gameboid and now it works but have to find how to set the buttons

i haven't tried any of the emulators in android (just use my WM ones still) but have some games from the market place that work pretty good Gem Miner, Crystal Light, Farm Frenzy (lags some) Portal Keeper, Settlers 3 and Spades Master Online i tried path of the warrior icommando and tankace didnt work

i can see gameboid works better then morphgear, ive more frames
i ve not that many games for android yet but labyrinth is damn laggy but maybe its because it uses g sensor

yes i tried this game labyrinth lite and its 3d game

did you also have very much lag with labyrinth ?????

Robo defense is a very entertaining tower defense game. It's probably my favorite game for Android.

Good list, I also recommend Quake 3 (Kwaak) and NOVA.

Please add Dungeon Hunter under RPG, it rocks

WTF?!!! No Real Football 2010 HD!!! That's an awesome game by Gameloft!
In casual gaming, Falling Ball and Tap Falling Ball is good.
In Strategy Robo Defense is cool.

You froget Cestos from multiplayer! Best ever.

I was under the impression that it wasn't running too well on the i9000?

Thanks for the suggestions, keep em coming.

You're missing the Gameloft games, but they are unfortunately only available through Gameloft's site instead of the Android Market.
There's no denying they have the highest production values and are the best visually however. For reference, Asphalt 5 on Samsung's app store for the Galaxy S is by Gameloft.
I'd suggest:
- NOVA (action, first-person shooter) which looks incredible and runs flawlessly on the Galaxy S
- Let's Golf 2 (sports) which looks equally stunning and runs perfectly.
I've had problems with the follow Gameloft ones however:
- Tom Clancy HAWX (action, shoot-em-up) installs, opens and the intro logos appear but crashes when it gets to the menu
- Dungeon Hunter (action, rpg) installs but does not run

Somebody help me!
My Samsung Galaxy S already up firmware Froyo 2.2 JP3 and rooted, but all the gameloft like asphalt5 HD, Tom Clancy HAWX, Dungeon Hunter,... all way appreared logo gameloft and error as:"an sd card with at least 45m free is required in order to download the new content" i don't know how? can you guys explain to me
thank you very much

Generally that means you need some free space on your memory card, as it says.
I think Gameloft games install their data on the internal memory, so check you have enough. Otherwise it may be due to whichever lagfix or firmware you're using (ext3, etc) locking write capabilities to your card.

Yeah you need available space for those GameLoft games.

Have you tried quake 3? (kwaak3) Amazing speed, its just desktop-experience (except for the controls) But the latest version acually works. Can yuo do this with Desire?

Hero of sparta is great game too and also quake 3 by kwaak3.

How about a MMORPG category
try Pocket Empires

However on this occasion I think it's more to do with the fact that jp2 and jp3 firmwares have inherent issues with writing to the sd card.
At the moment this is only a temporary fix and nothing permanent...I cant run Asphalt5 for this very reason.

It is Asphalt5. Now for your daily dose of irony. It doesn't run on the A7!
I sent them an e-mail about it and got nothing.
It appears than none of the Gameloft games run on the A7.

Top Games for my A7:
Astraware Casino (makes use of full tablet screen)
Fruit Ninja
Pocket God

Runs just fine on my A7.

Air Attack HD

Personally I enjoy the emulators along with the xbox mod

Tegra2 demo of NFS Shift (i tested it and it runs ok)
only one level playable , from here you need to buy the full game (for AT&T network users only i think)

Gameloft games
Just a quick fyi. Some gameloft games work on the elocity. I've tested:
works:
Asphalt 5 (works perfectly)
Assassins Creed (sucks without multitouch)
Sandstorm (ok without multitouch)
Dungeon hunter (works great, lighting seems messed up)
Dungeon hunter 2 (works great, some textures whited out, only on menus though)
Hawx (works perfectly)
doesnt work:
Modern Combat 2 (downloads files but doesn't work)
Avatar (not at all)
Brothers in arms 2 (not at all)
Nova (downloads files but doesn't work)
GT Racing (downloads files but doesn't work)

Skype
Can I ask if anyone has successfully got Skype going on their A7. I've been trying but just can't get it going.

- if you got stock, its not working
- if you got the Mod edition, it should work fine, as the build prop fix is included.

Thanks for the reply. Okay now for the big question, where do I get the MOD EDITION?
Many thanks for your patience

i did mean ElocityMod here, not a Skype modified edition..
if you look in dev. section you can find the mod rom's there..

I'd have to agree, the A7 is an awesome emulator in your pocket

Games that work well with N64oid

The Nintendo 64 emulator N64oid was released a couple of days ago. Do you know any games that work well with it? So far, I've had best luck playing Super Mario 64.
Can anyone suggest more compatible games? Let's make a list
Cheers

I don't fancy paying £3.68 for it.

n64oid Game Compatible list
*** 1.1.4 is out and claims fixes for OoT ***
Collated list:
Working and appear playable so far
Working with issues
Not working/major issues
Super Mario 64 *Tested on 1.1.1 and 1.1.2* (got a 2 stars from first level, seemed very playable!)
Zelda Ocarina of Time *Tested on 1.1.1* (Works up till Market)
Zelda Majora's Mask (Works up till North Clock Town)
Lylat Wars *tested on 1.1.1* (flew around first level)
Super Smash Bros *tested on 1.1.1 and 1.1.2* (attacked and defeated link - laggy but working)
Mario Kart 64 *Tested on 1.1.1* (Raced around first circit - lagging but surprisingly working fairly well)
Diddy Kong Racing (first boss - couple of lag here and there but playable)
Pokemon Stadium 2 (started a battle - parts of screen weren't showing properly and c button up/down was inverted, forced close after +/- 5 min)
Perfect Dark *running on 1.1.1* (loaded intro but when going to select 'agent' crashed out')
Perfect Dark *running on 1.1.2* (loaded intro, but crashed at same point as previously - selecting agent)
Perfect Dark *running on 1.1.3* (loaded intro, and got in to the main game - slow though)
Pokemon Stadium 1 (loads intro without sound, then hangs)
Pokemon Snap (game load and all but the analog/dpad couldn't/wouldn't work - may be fixed on 1.1.2)
Goldeneye 007 *Tested on 1.1.1* (crashed out instantly)
Goldeneye 007 *tested on 1.1.2* (very laggy - crashes on intro video (have to skip it with start), glitches frequently, but loaded to Dam level... backgrounds missing though - too laggy to actually play)
Duke Nukem 3D (works pretty well)
Turok 2 (works quite well. Hard to control though)
Paper Mario (won't load)
Jet Force Gemini (closes after landing on the first planet)
Wave Race 64 (Loads up and can whizz around the first course)
Mortal Kombat Mythologies:Sub Zero (doesnt work. Screen is inverted)
Mortal Kombat Trilogy (Hangs sometimes)
Mortal Kombat 4 (Cant see most of the graphics)
Star wars episode 1 racer (can't see most of the graphic (just the higher part show up))
Donkey Kong 64 (Loads intro - crashes)
Banjo Kazooie (Lags)
Banjo Tooie (Lags)
Mystical Ninja (Lags)
Conker's Bad Fur Day (Does not load)
Ridge Racer 64 (textures messed up)
Snowboard Kids (only showed backgrounds)
Yoshi's Story (missing backgrounds and textures)
Star Wars Rogue Squadron (not starting up... never seen a blacker screen in my whole life)
Notes:
I've noticed sometimes the games just crash instantly when loading - but if you load another game first then go back in they seem to load up a bit better - this would explain why goldeneye crashed out when I tested on 1.1.1 and perfect dark did not...
Some games (obviously) work much better on other devices than the Desire - some games and comments above may have been tested on another device so may be a little slower or more problematic on a desire, if for example - tested on a xoom etc.
Some games can be improved (on the desire at least), by upping the frameskip to max - a good example of this is Super Mario 64.
A higher class SD card can improve performance.
Unzipping a game (if zipped) can also help improve performance.
There may also be differences between Euro/US games.

I didn't have much time to actually try them but...
I tried which worked:

Zelda Ocarina of Time (wandered around village)
Zelda Majora's Mask (loaded start screen up)
Lylat Wars (flew around)
Super Smash Bros (attacked Link)
Mario Kart 64 (loaded start screen up)
I tried which didn't seem to work:
Goldeneye 007 (crashed out instantly)
Perfect Dark (loaded intro but when going to select 'agent' crashed out')

If Goldeneye doesn't work, Perfect Dark won't work. Perfect Dark runs on a modified and upgraded Goldeneye engine that really pushed the N64 to the limit, even with the Jumper Pak.

Yeah but Perfect Dark loaded to the log in screen and Goldeneye didn't

Got to the first boss in diddy kong racing, couple of lag here and there but playable.
Started a game in pokemon stadium 2, started a battle (some part of the screen weren't showing properly and C button up/down was inverted) and it force closed after +/-5 min of playing
pokemon stadium 1, seen the intro, without sound, then hang.
Started pokemon snap, game load and all but the analog/dpad couldn't/wouldn't work..
played from a galaxy s i9000m
(oh, and just an idea, maybe we could put the list of working roms in the first post and keep it edited/updated?, just a though )
Keep up the good work!

updated #3 with a list for you
also I just noticed 1.1.2 is out and that may fix the up/down c button issue you mentioned

Thanks for the list! In my experience, most games don't work on the Desire, but the developer luckily updates N64oid every other day or so. Eventually we might be able to play most N64 games with it.
By the way, Duke Nukem 3D works pretty good

Zelda OoT closes on entering Castle Town. Anyone else getting this problem?
Turok 2 works quite well. Hard to control though
Paper Mario won't load.
Jet Force Gemini closes after landing on he first planet.
(Samsung Galaxy S)

I found a larger Goldeneye ROM which seemed to work (albeit slowly). In fact, only Super Mario 64 runs at a decent speed on my Desire. Does it make a difference which ROM I'm using, perhaps?

Mortal Kombat Mythologies:Sub Zero doesnt work. Screen is inverted.
Mortal Kombat Trilogy. Hangs sometimes
Mortal Kombat 4. Cant see most of the graphics.

Star wars episode 1 racer: can't see most of the graphic (just the higher part show up)

if goldeneye is not playable... why buy an emulator if the best game does not work... btw why has there never been a noticable successor to goldeneye (no i do not accept perfect dark)

goldeneye did actually load for me in 1.1.2 - got to the dam and moved about an inch - its progress!
I assume you don't count the Wii Goldeneye remake?

I got about half way through the first level on Goldeneye before I turned it off due to the poor frame rate. I'm hoping it'll run smoother on the Xperia Play, but in the meantime is there anything that can be done to improve frame rates? Does the ROM you use make any major difference? I'm using Oxygen 2.0.1 at the moment.

Honestly I thought the Wii version would be retarded but I now can say it's really good, at least for single player. The animations were smooth and I think it's the best shooter on Wii in many aspects. I don't even own a Wii. Rented the game while at my cousin's house. If you're looking for an exact remake, don't play the game. But if you want a similar game (and definitely more violent game), I say play it. I loved snapping the dude on the toilet's neck from the air duct lol
Don't bother with it for multiplayer. Split screen SUCKS. 2 weapons per person (plus the hat if you're Oddjob) and you can only pick up each others' weapons. And no voice chat plus stupid friend codes for online. definitely worth it for single player though.

Goldeneye actually runs full speed for me, as long as sound is disabled. The annoying part is the controls... need to find a wiimote.
This is on a SGS Vibrant, though, can't speak for the desire.

Games recommendation (S5830)

This isnt a duplicate of the other gaming thread, we only recommend games here (by experience), try to recommend your top games so the quality stays at the top
Doesnt matter if you recommend the game twice, just proves that the game is worth playing!
Beats(free) - (emulator though) - like stepmania but on the phone, you can import stepmania songs to it.
[Link to market] [Screenshot]
Tetris(~3$) - downloaded it but havent played it once on android yet, but i guess it's the same as iOS. It's pretty nice and ull get used to playing it with a touchscreen.
[Link to market] [Screenshot]
There is a more expensive version, but I think it's the same game :O [Link to the market]
Meganoid(free) - Pretty fun at first but ull get tired of it.
[Link to market] [Screenshot]
I think it contains ads in it, but you can use adfree to get rid of it.
(I would recommend the snes,nes etc... emulators but the multitouch isnt good enough for playing these console emulator games.)
KEEP IT CLEAN, dont ask stuff here!
Dont link warez!

Currently playing zombieville and fishingjoy, it's a time killer
XDA ♥

try CoinDozer! very addicting!
im also recommending Plant vs Zombie & angry birds

Can you play Modern Combat 2 Black Pegasus on the Ace?
