Recently I got my EVO 3d as an upgrade from my old milestone. One of the phones I looked at was the xpeeria play and that was £10 a month on buymobilephones.net. but I didn't go for that because i thought the EVO 3s is better.
I also found out about the icontrolpad which seems to have similar buttons to the xperia play. Would it be possible to set up the icontrolpad so that on xperia play optimized games like modern combat 2 I can use the analogue sticks for movement and camera like the xperia play.
I had an app which set up Bluetooth controllers as buttons on the keyboard but i don't think that will work.
Anyone have a clue?
Maybe sixaxis will work with the icontrolpad? I don't want to buy it yet because I have to say it is hideously expensive

I have one of these, and, thus far, it does not emulate the xperia. Bluez IME is hoping to add this support in the future, but there is no ETA for it.
However, I can say that, for the games that do support it (and pretty much all of the emulators do), it is a seriously excellent accessory.
I got mine from ThinkGeek, as it was cheaper than paying for it and having it shipped from the UK.
So, after playing around with it further over the holidays, it does, in fact, support (most) xperia games.
I'm having trouble getting the nubs working 100% though, so YMMV.

Just found on engadget, and looks nice, so far Supported phones:
We have successfully gotten the Bluetooth Game Gripper working on these devices and will be avidly testing it on more in the coming weeks.
I-phone 4
Ipad
DroidX
HTC Touch Pro II
Nexus one
Nexus S
Motorola Click
Galaxy S tab
With these phones, it does not work with the native bluetooth application or the Blueinput driver but we will continue to try to get them to work using other drivers
HTC Hero
HTC Evo
Samsung Epic
Palm Pixi
Now i just have a question will a custom kernel fix this issue with the bluetooth, or an asop rom?
I can connect my wii remote to my phone using cyanogenmod or miui. So I would thank this would work also.
yeah, I guess, Just pledged and asked the developer to test it out with a cynogen or miui. Hopefully it works, and this baby will be mine.
I would buy one of these for my evo as well.
I can only imagine how ridiculous my TP2 would look in this thing while the slide was open hahaha. It would be pretty convenient for the evo though, a wiimote alone doesn't have enough buttons for fighting games, and plugging in my classic controller just looks silly.
exactly, now if the nook only gets bluetooth.
Eh my wii remote works fine with the classic controller. I poker the remote. I might rig up a little dock for it but this is definitely awesome
Sent from my evo 4g
thanks for the heads up, pledged for one, hope they make it to the 30K mark!
Been waiting on something like this, just hope they can get it to work with stock evo.
All i know is that the dev answered my question and tested the evo with cm7, works great video up now.

Has anyone tried the new PS1 emu yet? The word generally is that it is miles ahead of psx4droid, however i dont have a G2/desire z yet. Im looking at getting this phone as my next purchase.
Yes, ofcourse. It is way much better than psx4droid! There is a thread on xda discussing FPse!
trust me its a hell lot better than psx, fpse is so much cooler and it runs a lot smoother than psx

The word would be correct. Just don't confuse savestates with loadstates. That made me lose about 4 hours of FFVII when I was drunk. Its badass though. I went online and found a FFVII savegame and put it on my SD, fpse read it just fine and I was back in business.

I have a problem here in my galaxy s I9003. When i load the bios my games stop working. Can somebody help me. Its android 2.2.1.
I played all of Chrono Cross and some of Grandia. CC was so much fun! Had to oc to 1.4 ghz our so for CC, but Grandia was good at 1ghz.
Sent from my Nexus 6 through tears in rain.
Was using it back in my WinMo days, now I'm using it on the DZ and I love it, the hardware keyboard makes all the difference.
Runs nice and smooth (I play without sound, though, personal preference).
FPSE is ok. a lot of the games that work on psx4droid, dont on FPSE, which can get quite annoying.
But the frame rate and the over all smoothness is better on FPSE.
AND if you get sixaxis pair tool from the market, you can play the games with a ps3 controller (FPSE)! The controller doesnt work however on psx4droid.
(Just a little input)

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.
Sent from my myTouch_4G_Slide using Tapatalk
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
Just a question that came up in rom threads. To get more insight into things. How many of use really use the xperia play for its gaming ability. Meaning, you REALLY want the gamepad used correctly. Some people use just the touch screen more and dont care about the gamepad as much. So just thought I would make a poll for devs to use later to get insight on how people use their xperia.
The gamepad is the only reason I chose this phone over the other Android phones offered by Verizon. And so far, it hasn't let me down. Of course, I'm a retro gamer, I couldn't really care less about the touchpads.
I use it often. At the mo playing Zelda on the Gameboy Advance emulator and loving it
brought to you by the XDA app on my badass Android toy
I use it for every emulator , every game. The gamepad is the sole purpose of buying this phone.
Yea I am all about the emulators myself. However I think the issue comes up on non stock roms with android based games that "optimize for xperia play" and how some roms may not work right on a gamepad. I just know I love the gamepad. Too bad GTA3 isnt working right.
YES... i had been hunting down this phone since i heard rumors of it, 2 years before its release, so i started to save up cash, i waited a while for it to drop price, when i finally had enough money , i got the white one, because everyone here would have the black one, anyways as soon as i got the phone the works, Boot loader on locking, Rooting, Custom Rom, Emulators/ROMS, im an old school gamer, so all the Pokemons, all the Marios, etc etc.
What i loved about the phone is that my younger brother got a Iphone 3gs and he did not wanted to buy the Xperia Play because " it looks so cheap" and to be honest it does, it took him 30 seconds of playing my Play to Regret getting the Iphone 3gs, as like me he is also a hardcore gamer.
So Gaming pad.. hell Freaking yeah... its the only thing i can bark at work,"hey my phone has this much processor","mine has this much screen", etc then i go "well how many of you have gaming buttons?" and i just laugh.
My last two phones I had purchased the GameGripper for both. Bit when I saw the xplay I jumped for it and haven't looked back. Now version where the hell is the info on the ics update?

The gamepad is great for playing fighting games
The gamepad is one mayor thing that brought me to buy the phone.
As I consider myself a hardcore and casually retro gamer.
Many other reasons:
Decent screen size
Incredibly loud stereo speakers
Supports epileptic led mode (32hz/2000bpm)
Autofocus camera
Awesome processor and GPU (overclockeable to 2GHz!!!1!11one)
512 MBs of RAM
Easy rooting and bootloader unlocking
Comes with the best OS in the world
Built-in integration with Facebook
Some drawbacks:
SEMC skin kinda sucks compared to cooler ones
Comes with lots of bloatware
Brightness is NULL in the outsides of a sunny day
Battery does not last more than three days under default settings
SEMC launcher only has 5 homescreen slots
Built-in theme chooser doesn't do much
Front camera only works in outsides and is a 1.3 MP one
But overall, much better phone than any of those I have found people using on the streets (at least in my country).
I mainly use the phone with Onlive. Ever since it got support I've been wasting my money on games my computer can handle, but it's on my phone <3.
Emulators work rather well, it's just say I'm playing Majora's Mask I have to keep the virtual keys on screen for the c-buttons due to lack of mapping.
I just don't use the touchpads

I use my Xperia Play only as a gaming device. I don't use it as a phone (no sim card). I got it used super cheap. Onlive, FPse, etc.
Sent from my R800at using XDA App
of course...bought it because of the game pad..i have a lot of time to play games...even at work...
i don't use the touchpad because i haven't game where i need it (only in mupen64 i need them, but i'm not an hardcore player)
Do some of you still use a BT Gamepad on your XP? Was thinking of getting the onlive universal gamepad. Still having a full set of trigger buttons would be nice.
I thougt the game pad was cool but i actully don't use it so much and actully have another android phone.
That's the main reason I got it and it's great for my retro gaming needs. I use emulators mainly and only use the pads when I need to, like with Mupen64.
I can say I'm a little disappointed in the r800x model (stupid Verizon). My parents still pay my phone bill so I can't complain too much.
I'm moving to Canada this summer and I plan on getting one from whatever carrier I end up with (not CDMA though, I'm done with that mess). They are free with most contracts which makes it even tastier.
BTW any recommendations for cell carriers in Canada? PM me
I'm mobile.. and I'm a gamer.. so, I bought Xplay because it's a Gaming Mobile Phone which had "gamepad" on it..
If I don't use the gamepad, I would prefer Arc S or Ray than this..
So after i gave away my smaller moga controller in a giveaway(winner will be announced July 5th) i decided to order the moga pro and give my perspective on it. this controller is a must have for hardcore mobile gamers, especially with console like quality games releasing everyday. This controller only retails for $49.99 so it's very affordable. And with enough feed back from you guys im def giving this away once i throw up a few more videos on it. tell me what you guys think about.

Best thing to do is to unlock your phone and install the GE rom on it - sense rom and HTC have throttled the One so if the game is graphics intense it just drops the framerates!!!
Get moga pro, custom rom, modern combat 4 and multiplayer - oh my its like a console in your hands!!! amazing experience - since i did this i have not touched my 360!!!
Looks awesome, thanks. I have REALLY been wanting one but my newlywed budget can't handle the extra $50 right now lol.
Moga Pro improves on all the quirks of the original. I'm hoping they do a giveaway like they did with the Moga's. Not even a month after they announced the Moga they gave away hundreds of them for free with MC4 and Sonic as well.
I seem to have a lot of problems with the moga pro aiming etc on modern combat 4 it goes from to sensitive to not responsive enough. So the sensitivity in multiplayer sucks but with auto aim this makes the game bad ass. I wish all games were compatible with it.

You don't need a GE ROM to fix the thermal throttling. Just install ElementalX. It has its own custom thermal controls. I can game as much as I want with no slowdowns without giving up Sense.

I had the pocket one (the first one), and absolutely loved it. I mostly only used it for my SNES emulator, never really liked it with the bigger games. The pocket one worked great so I have no doubt that this one is just as good.
Has anyone had any luck redeeming their complimentary game? I don't care overmuch, but Gameloft sent me away with a "your device is not compatible" message. Sadness.

No, mine was definitely NOVA 3. Bizarre. Ah well. Are you rooted?
Just got the moga. It is an awesome accessory for gaming. So far I have tried 5 supported titles and they work amazingly well with this controller.
My only gripe is the built in phone clip is a tad too narrow if my device is in my otter box defender, or more importantly while I am using my mophie. I have to use the tablet stand when using my mophie.
Also, in case anyone was wondering I am using the GE ROM so I have not tried this on stock sense.

Really? It's a bit bulky, but it works with my mophie on.
And I redeemed using a Nexus 7 (my Nexus 10 wasn't compatible either, strangely) and sideloaded. Good game it seems, but hard to see on the One.

I can get my mophie to fit on it but it is not tight. I have to be careful so it doesn't slide out. That's a bummer for me because some of these games are a major battery drain.
