does anyone know of a working gamecube ROM?
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium
not unless someone makes a gamecube emulator
someone should get on that, I have no idea where to start.. but if someone can point me in the right direction.. Ill at least give it a try.
Probably not possible for the Epic 4G Touch. Look at Dolphin for example, and the hardware requirements that it needs.
Dolphin barely runs well on PC. I think the best you can hope for is Dreamcast emulation... But that's kind of dead, and has been for like a year.

By next year, cell phones will have the same chipsets as current desktops (probably as fast as the i7 from intel). It's only a matter of time before Android/iPhone gets gamecube emulator.
EDIT: I'm not very knowledgeable about software emulation, but it seems that our current processors, which are hardly half as fast as the average desktop can run N64oid quite well, in some cases, better than Project64 can on Desktop.
I used to be pretty heavily into emulation, and I remember one of the MAME developers (Haze) saying it takes nearly 4x the power of the original game hardware capacity to emulate the old hardware correctly. But MAME does it's emulation without any hacks, or hardware accelleration. It could go the route of ePSXe and use plugins, and it wouldn't require anything more than we currently have. Anyway, just some thoughts, I am by no stretch a programmer. This thread makes me want to update my MAME set, something I haven't done in years. I wonder how big it is now?

Hi I have a myTouch 4G Slide on T-Mobile and was wondering if how is the Play on AT&T compared to it. I have wanted a Play but I was on contract and was not able to get one, but now that I'm off I would like to consider this phone.

Depends on how much of a fan you are of video games (especially emulation) cuz that's the main reason to get the PLAY. It's a bit less powerful than your current phone (single core too), but still plenty fast.

Well I do run a lot of emulators on my current phone. And I would be better with the gamepad the Play has.

The Xperia Play is the phone for emulators, absolutely perfect!
I got mine simply for the gamepad, and I've never looked back since.
I know it's not the best phone out there but it does what I need and what I want it to

Well I just gave away my phone (to someone who truly needed it) so I'm going to order on Sunday. Thanks for the replays
I was wondering if anybody has compared the competing arcade emulators that are available for the Xperia Play.
I mainly want to know what you prefer and why, so that I can make an informed decision when I pick one (or some) out.
For NeoGeo I prefer Neo.Emu over Neodroid, as the speed and intuitiveness are quite good and it controls very well for me too. Although it doesn't run any roms maid post 2000, which is too bad as I'd like to try out some of those later titles on this hardware. To be fair though I have not used Neodroid extensively as I kinda fell in love with Neo.Emu.
For cps2 I have tried CPS2HD, after fiddling with it got a few roms to work and the controls kinda work on the Play, but there are hiccups sometimes. It looks nice, but sometimes runs too fast. I have only tried a few roms though. I have heard that Cpsemu is an alternative but haven't tried it yet, and maybe some of those mame emulators too, but there are quite a few of them, plus I never really used mame proper on the PC, anyways I would really like to know what your thoughts are on the subject.
Any emulator wizards out there that can review and compare some of these emulators for a guy like me?
If so thanks for your time, I sure will appreciate it.

For me it is and has always been Tiger MAME. It runs neogeo, cps1,cps2, and more. With local netplay. Plays awesome on our phone. Nice and fast.

Cool. I have heard of it but have not tried it. Are you using the current version? I see that there are free versions and pay versions of tigermame on some stores. The google play store is very limited in my country, so some apps like this are difficult to get a hold of.
And sometimes can end up buying an obsolete or fake version from these shady Chinese marketplaces.
Which mame Rom sets is it optimised for? V145?
Sent from my PLAYSTATION PHONE using tapatalk
The free lets you save bit not load that save. I paid the $5 from within the app to unlock it. Totally worth it. Plus it gives you net-play. My friend and I play the Dungeon & Dragons tower of doom all the time on team mode.
Also this tiger mame is not on the android market. And I have tried all types of make sets and it takes them all, at least for me.

For mobile phones, unfortunately, yes.. because they don't require such complex controls that action games need.. the screen size are limited on mobile phones so i never enjoyed games such as Max Payne and GTA.. asphalt series and other racing games, however are acceptable, but they're heavy and eats battery a lot..
So i prefer casual and simple games.. If you're into heavy gaming i suggest you to get a tablet instead..

Besides that, iOS developers have only a few products to deal with... 3GS, 4, 4S, the 3 editions of iPads and iTouch, whereas Android has several manufacturers with a gazillion phone models to work with, with different hardware specs and OS versions as well. So try to be in Gameloft's shoes for a sec. Besides, we don't want a released (paid) app that's full of bugs anyway.
I tweeted gameloft and just got a reply now
We have hit a slight delay with the android release, we anticipate it will be available by the end of this week.
Wow. This is going to be cool. Even better then those so called "Need for Speed" for PC. [after carbon, all nfs sucks. Best nfs: most wanted]

Well, I connect my device with my led tv and a gaming pad. But dude, you can be great at anything. These are crap excuses!! I mean you say that games are hard...ya, but not impossible, man!
You can find multiplayer mode players there who are just damn great.
So, you people just accept that you can't do that.
You are blaming gameloft for making that type of games that you can't play!!

i'm not saying GL can't make games that playable, imo playing such games on a phone wont give you the best 'possible' result.. you definitely never play the same game on a different device.. that's why i recommend to play it on a tablet instead..
i may not be the best player/gamer but i choose not to.. sometimes it's boring and other people don't even care if you're that good.. i experienced this many times on numerous online games i've played.. now i play none of them..
oh, you have a TV and a gamepad.. but for gaming from a phone? seriously? PS3/X360 looks very outdated now..

I do like them. But trying to be the best in everything doesnt look like a bad idea. Well, I like to play on PC more!
For me, I JUST LIKE TO TRY THEM ALL AND BEING GOOD TOO.
Happy gaming!!
Its always good to think before coming on a conclusion!!

I don't know if this has been asked before in depth, but Metal Slug 3 runs like crap on my Galaxy S3. The game starts fine, then it gradually slows down, and finally freezes. The same is true for Blazing Star. It plays fine initially, slows down, and then freezes. I don't know if this problem is exclusive to me, or if everyone with a Snapdragon S4, US variant Galaxy S3 is experiencing these issues. No one at the Play Store mentions it. Is this a real problem, exclusive to me ,or just an optimization issue.
Not that I think it's connected in any way, but I'm running the latest Free Sonic ROM, released on Friday.

Exact same for me on metal slug 3

Thanks for the reply. At least I know it's not just me then. I hope SNK optimizes these games. Especially since most new phones are using the Snapdragon S4 processor.

i experience the same thing on temple run! thought i was alone with this. is anyone using a ROM that forces the GUI through the GPU? i am, and i think that may be it. couple that with the adreno GPU we have thats inferior to the mali GPU's, we may have our answer? not quite sure though, just a theory

Um if you are playing this on an emulator then you can forget SNK optimizing anything.
Most gameloft games run like crap on my gs3 but on my evo 4g lte it don't same processor so what gives.

Play SNK games on Emulator instead and you will never get slow speed,and they are all free including Metal Slugs.
I'm not playing it on a Neo Geo emulator. I'm playing SNK's official android port. It's really inexcusable. I'm sure there will be an update where the freezes are addressed. The Galaxy S3 is the most popular phone right now, so if the issue is prevalent, it will be addressed with an update.
Yes the Mali is somewhat better, but it isn't anywhere near a night and day difference. I haven't seen any benchmark or real world application where the Mali 400 spanked the Adreno 225. Truth be told, right now the Adreno can handle any current android game with ease. In my opinion, optimisation is the key.

Which emulator are you using, and where do you get the roms? You can PM me when you get to this. I've been searching for a good emulator, and also been looking for a good place to get roms.

Yeah Mame Reloaded.Go to Emuparadise and download Final Fight(World) and see if it works.You can set your own rom directory in settings toh,dont unzip the files but place the zip in rom directory.
The other version of Mame is good too,they just use different rom sets.Reloaded has better compatibility.
Just place Final Fight zip in rom directory and start the app,it should work.When you see that it does then you can download more roms.And you can use ps3 or wii controlers with it.
You will need this zip that i made for neogeo roms www.4shared.com/zip/ZWYvtdxA/neogeo.html .
Download the other Mame4Droid(0.37b5) and put the neogeo.zip in rom directory.After this you can download any neogeo rom from Emuparadise and it will work.
Also try other emulators they have n64,sega cd and genesis,snes and turbografix 16 are best ones.

I have the same problem (graphics slow to a freeze, but music plays fine) with Blazing Star and Metal Slug 3 on my Nexus running CM10 on a Galaxy Nexus. I don't think I had that issue with Metal Slug 3 under CM9. It could be an ICS vs. JB thing, especially considering JB's focus was graphics running buttery smooth (and having the opposite effect here).
I have the same problem here. No one from the play store seems to be complaining and I think it could specific to galaxy s3 running jb.
Funny thing is metal slug one and two world like a charm and can't imagine how much more complex the third instalment could be...
