[Q] Shadowgun! - Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps

I was wondering isn't there any method to run Shadowgun on Galaxy S?! I know it seems absurd but what made me wonder is that I saw in a thread on another forum that some devices need Chainfire 3D to run the game, so any1 plz help me about this. Thanks in advance .

you could try to root your phone and use chainfire 3d

I was able to try with Chainfire#D, but the slowdowns ruined the experience. No hope for this game without a dual core device.

SHADOWGUN smooth:
you need:
chainfire3D
installed and loaded http://www.mediafire.com/?2mh6uarwv1o9u5f
ticked Reduce texture quality and Reduce texture size
install and play the game
SMOOTH PLAY, TESTED ON CM7 AND SAMSUNG ROMS

How come nexus S play this game so smooth but without any hacking?

Alternative way of emulating SNES on Touch Pro 2

I have been desperate for a decent SNES emulator for my touch pro 2 and have found a way of playing the games on my phone since Morphgear is all but useless on our phones. Put haret on your phone and run Android http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=627997. Go to the Android market and download the free version of SNESOID and enjoy. It plays nearly full speed on our phones. I would however recommend that before running SNESOID that you close all applications running in the background in Android before attempting to run a game. I can't wait until sound is supported with the Android build for the Touch Pro 2 then we will have our cake and eat it too. Hope this helps some of you guy's that have been searching for emulators as I have.
I'm sorry, but why is morphgear useless?
(I'm sorry, but why is morphgear useless?)
Hey Scalage. Speed and the interface of Morphgear is what to me makes it useless. When I play SNES games I like to play them to play as close to full speed as possible with sound. Morphgear just don't cut it on a WVGA device unless you are running it on a phone like Omnia 2 or HTC HD 2 with much faster processors. So it didn't take me long after I installed Morphgear to uninstall it from my Touch Pro 2. If you have found success with Morphgear then I am impressed. But performance with games like Super Mario World and Mario Kart when I tried it really disappointed me.

I installed the driver and the colours for my gallery became weird. Uninstalled the driver and got bricked, screen freeze at Samsung bootanimation and vibrates at intervals.

wtf you must use it only for tegra games but i never had semothing like that, have you tried to reboot in clockwordmod and then do a factory reset?
I am able to play Pin Ball THD on my Ace.. smooth and no lag... any other games can be plated ? tried Samurai II... does not work.......
pinball did'nt work for me, are you in 2.2 version??
yeah,.. updated to 2.3.4 may be that is the reason m able to play...
any other games that is playable in our sga?
daydreamer have you tried to install guerrilla bob on 2.3.4 because it vibrates two times in game and shut down, give me your reply if you test it
Nopes That do not work... .. testing with more games.. but, Pin Ball work like we are using 1ghz device lol...
Thanks test and share dude, Ace's phone
I think many game didn't work because of our arm6 processor..
because when I try to look at the THD game's apk, manys of them just contains arm7 lib..
Chainfire 3d
What tegra games can we run on our aces?

[Q] Snes Emulation woes - Latency and Emulation problems

Hello all.
I am having problems with emulation on my newly purchased xperia play.
I downloaded snesoid because I was recommended to get it by a friend *and apparently the internet is crazy about it*. When I tried playing Megaman X on it, there was very noticeable slowdown. The first stage *highway* ran at noticeably slower speeds than it did on the snes. It was playable, but felt sluggish. At first I was okay with this, but then I played it on my friend's phone just to test it out, and his was runninghttp://media.xda-developers.com/images/editor/menupop.gif it perfectly.
Does anyone know why that may be?
I also downloaded snes9x ex to test it out, and the app runs great! Problem with this app, unfortunately, is the VERY noticeable input latency. It makes platformers really odd to play on with.
I tried Seiken Densetsu 3 on Snesoid as well, and that game glitches out every conversation that comes up. The screen will flicker for a second. Very jarring.
Has anyone else experienced these kind of things with theirs, and if so, does anyone know a fix for this?
If this is phone specific, I am just going to return it since it only has been a day and just get a new one, but I want to make sure I can't do anything to fix it on my end before hand, this way I can at least learn something about these phones if there is a fix I CAN do at home, since I currently am a huge phone noob.
Something very interesting I just noticed.
Just tried Megaman X2 and X3 and those games run perfectly.
Color me confused.
Yea, SNES9x plays better with less glitches, but has noticeable button lag. Took forever for me to beat DKC, especially the mine cart stages.
Im sorry to hear about your problem mate but mine seems to run all of the games perfectly smooth. Ive had no such issues yet regarding the snesoid emulator.
If you feel strongly about it I would suggest trying out a new sexplay.
Also note the programs you have running in your running services log. Something there may be interfering with your gameplay. I can't seem to use Swiftkey X on my Xplay as it causes lag that kills the experience on nearly every game I play.
But the button lag is something you will have to deal with on any XPlay and SNES9x. Unfortunate, and hopefully will be fixed by the author at some point.
Is there button input lag with Snes A.D (free emulator on market) ?
Could someone test it for me ? I'm supposed to get the phone next week, and I chose it especially for emulation so I'd be disappointed if there are any issues with SNES games.
Have had not any issues with these games.
I use SnesOid and TigerSNES - both free.
same here,gensoid running silky smooth,fpse running perfectly fine,tiger arcade for th e most games also good,but imho useless cause no dip switch access or neo geo rom settings(tried that mame4all but no thanks,seems it support only legacy roms,don`t wanna convert all my roms for that program,the few that were running on mame4all were also laggy)
but snesoid(latest version) isn`t running good,as i stated in another thread.
for example super castlevania 4,it doesn`t matter if frameskip is on or off,set to manual or auto,it`s far away from running smooth,there is a slight stuttering when you look at the background as your character moves forward-also numerous other games..tried snes 9x or what is called,realized it doesn`t load any of my snes roms because it cant read .zip files,only .smc and even with .smc it won`t open some roms.i`ll try this tiger snes now
Hated SNES A.D. looking for a good emu right now too.
when u complain about noticeable input lag in snes9x, what kind of games are u playing? ive never really had any issues with it since its around a 10th of a second (tbh i doubt id ever of noticed it playing things like super metroid)
all of my games are in .zip files and ive never had any issues with the emulator at all, destroys snesoid imo. i do hope that the input lag is fixed, but overall i think its a much better emulator than anything else available.
I sure would like to try snes9x.... can't find it though! Little help?

i noticed just earlier after i posted realizing i hadn't received an update in some time. It appears to have been removed from the market, odd considering that all his other emulators are still there and one of his main selling points was compliance with the gpl of snes9x (the reason it was free as opposed to his other emulators)
the website is http://www.explusalpha.com/home
Robert Brogalia is the devs name, check out his other apps, they all get fantastic feedback.
Oh my god! This emulator is amazing! Everyone get it. This should just come on the phone..... LOL
Sent from my R800a using xda premium
u can change the dpi of the menus, turn off that shocking linear filtering that snesoid and all them use(i like me some retro blockiness) and it doesnt appear but when scrolling through lists thumb scroll works just fine.
Looks like I have to start over on Zelda, guess the saves are different from snesnoid. So worth it though.
Sent from my R800a using xda premium
u just have to change the extention to the same one used in snes9x...if i recall snesoid uses .sav, snes9x uses .sma or something, i got all mine working so if u fiddle u should get it, afaik quicksaves are a no-go however, just the battery backup works.
Snesoid is based on the snes9x source anyway......
Sent from my R800i using Tapatalk
if people are finding solutions that work better for them thats a good thing, i dont care if the source is the same, i find it to be a better emulator. i will say i initially bought all yonghz apps including n64oid.
Goping back on topic i just got myself a Play today, and i have major problems with games on gameboid, genesoid, snesoid theyw ill jump around and skip frames. I know why it's becuase it has frameskip set to 2 by default. If i set it to 0 then the audio produces an annoying stuttering and clicking. I just don't belive this ive seen thousands of videos showing th performance and sound of the games and its perfect. Ive even rooted and stripped my Play of some apps too. Now im really at wits end this thing wont emulate any game perfectly... What can i do????

Trust me mate, I've tried everything on both of my Xperia Plays. One stock, and one overclocked to 1.6ghx with CyanogenMod 7.
I'm at the same stage... I set games to 0 frameskipping and most games run perfectly, however if I enable the sound I get this horrible crackle (and with TigerMAME 3.0.3 noticable lag spikes - which is a damn shame). I think most of these emus need optimising for Xperia Play.
'Perfect' is such an over-used term these days... However these are the best emus of the bunch in my opinion... Trust me, I'm extremely anal when it comes to emulation.
TigerMAME 3.0.3 - With sound disabled can run games like Gigawing and Mars Matrix perfectly. I really hope the audio can be optimised. I'm currently playing the above two games with my own music playing in the background until then. Also, I believe older versions of Tiger run more games than this release...
MAME4Droid - Good for games which fall under the old MAME romset. Most games run smooth with audio (a lot of older games run perfectly) and the amount of CPU/audio customisation is unrivaled.
SNES9X EX - Runs games perfectly (excluding the Mode-7 heavy titles), with only slight audio crackle... Hoping for this to be resolved soon.
MD.EMU - The best Genesis/Megadrive emu around, same dev as SNES9X EX. Does the job where others fail (ie: near perfect Sonic 3 performance). Some audio problems here also.
GBAoid - Seems to work perfectly with everything I've tried. I need to put more research into GBA emu.

[Q] Slowdown in Emulators

Bear with me people as im pretty new to this
Ive got all the decent emualtors onto my Xperia play. SNES / Genesis / GBA / Gameboy etc and they all play fine.
I do notice however that on all the emulators if i set the frame skip to auto, then the sound if perfect, but the frame rate skips sometimes which is more annoyance than anything but still noticeable
If i change the frame skip to zero then the frame rate is buttery smooth but then i get cracks and pops in the sound (all emulators)
Now my question is, is that is this an issue with the emulators or an issue with the play being just not quite quick enough to play these perfectly.
And also, im planning on rooting my phone so obviously if i was to have a slight overclock on my phone, say from 1GHZ to 1.2 or 1.3, would this actually make a difference to them in terms of playing absolutely full speed, or would it make no difference at all?
well thats a tough question,
you can get sound issues when a device is struggling to play a game
and when the device can play the game full speed but the emulator has issues
i too have alot of emulators
marvin - spectrum
gensoid - mega drive
fpse - ps1
gearoid - game gear
tiger arcade
pce - pc engine
snezoid -super nintendo
jarcade - arcade/ mame roms
n64oid - n64
mame4droid
now the only two that gave me sound issues were n64oid and fpse
but since i have rooted my phone and removed bloatware and overclocked
to 1.4
those issues are more or less gone
apart from n64oid do get jittering now and then
but i think that running a n64 on a phone is a feat in itself
yes overclocking does make a difference to running games/emus
more horsepower = smoother gaming
i do recommend rooting
remove bloatware
and overclocking

[Q] Goldeneye (N64) on Fire TV

I know this is a really specific question, however I'm wondering if anyone has had luck getting Goldeneye working on a Fire TV? I've tried different emulators, and they all seem to stutter at the opening sequence. Admittedly I haven't played it yet as I don't have a controller. The sole reason I'd get a controller is to relive this game.
Anyways, if it works for you and you can help out with the emulator used and settings, please share! Or if you play it and the stutter is only at the opening sequence, please let me know. Thank you!
Doesnt work for me either
I used it this past weekend on Mupen 64 plus AE, but I was using dualshock 3 ps controller and since I dont have keyboard/mouse, it was really hard playing with ps3 controller. I couldn't change controller type in mupen due to missing kb/mouse.
it works with n64oid
i tested it here. http://forum.xda-developers.com/fire-tv/general/n64-games-wiimote-root-t3006978
Thanks guys! I really just wanted to make sure it worked before I invested in a controller.
This was like the first thing I did when I got my first fire tv and I got it working with mupen but it lags way too much to be enjoyable... sorry bro
The port of GlideN64 to Android is near...
My hope is that it outperforms the other plugins by some degree while having improved graphical rendering accuracy and quality.
Awesome! I'll give it a shot when it's ready!
It looks like it should be quite good since they are using the "Boost" library to build it.
I can only hope the same can be done for the other plugins in case of wanting to still use them for comparing performance at an elevated state.
Yes, It's perfectly playable using Mupen 64 AE as are some other N64 games. Zelda Ocarina of Time, Doom 64, Banjo Kazooie, Super Mario 64, Mario Kart 64 and a lot more. I've been working my way through them and keeping the ones that work for me.
Try Banjo-Tooie on their latest Alpha from the site,it even runs on both architectures where it didn't run on x86 before.
It does not replace your other one,it installs alongside it.
Banjo-Tooie runs ENDLESSLY on FireTV since I tested it for an extremely long session collecting most stuff up to before the Weldar fight.
Such a shame it runs so slow because of the ancient and wimpy [email protected] qualcomm drivers.
There is also a cheat editor built-in on the Alpha so you can use the no frameskip cheat to smooth things out up to 60fps max but at the expense of more slowdown.
Be warned,as it can get stuck on some cutscenes if you set countperop to 1 for best smoothness while sacrificing mostly all of the performance.
If TechVendetta,rbox,and the others can pull off a custom FireTV rom release with Qualcomm [email protected] or [email protected] drivers baked in,we might get a serious performance increase and helpful bugfixes.
Anybody able to try Goldeneye on the AFTV2 to see if it is any better? I'd appreciate it!
