Problem with Snes emulators. - Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have a problem with the Snes emulators, The thing is, None of them work.
i've tried every emulator available, and all of them do not work.
The app opens and the menus are fine, but when i open any game i get a black screen and that's it.
The only game that worked for me so far is a hack of Super Metroid, And it worked on all the emulators.
the games i have tried so far:
Super Metroid.
Mortal Kombat 1,2,3 and ultimate 3.
The only game i really want to work is super metroid.

I use Snesoid and don't have any problem. Maybe the problem is your ROM files. Try download the elsewhere.

What format are the files you are trying?

I finally got it to work.
I found out that the problem was with the files type. It must be .SFC not .SMC
Thanks for helping.

.smc files should work too. 90% of my files are .smc and they work perfectly fine.

SNESoid FC's on me, so I started using SuperGSNES I think it's called. It's available in the market. It works just fine for me running r800a stock 2.3.4

SNESDroid is the best, try downloading different formats for your games

Anyone tried any of the Console Emulators?

Has any of our proud Desire owners tried some of the Console Emulators off the Market?
Specifically SNesoid, GameBoid, Gensoid, Gearoid, Nesoid, CPS2HD?
I just wondered if anyone had tested them out on the Desire and if they work ok?
Anyone fancy making some videos and sharing them?
These will be among the first Apps I download from the Market when I get my Desire.
Have tried both Nesoid and Snesoid.
They both work full speed with the mario games! Tried Super Mario 1 on nesoid, and had a bit of trouble with the pad and buttons, because I think it doesn't 'line up' correctly on the screen. Multitouch also works.
I had more luck with Snesoid and Super Mario All-stars, which worked nicely. Colours went funny at 'game selection' screen, but ingame was good, and registered button presses were accurate. I think its very playable with some getting used to.
I really want SCUMMVM to be released for Android 2.1, but its not available yet

Oh yeah I forgot about SCUMMVM, that would be brilliant on this phone!

Nice, .. have you tried other things other than super mario ?, .. btw is there a PS1 emulator for android, i know that there is one for the WM, not sure about android.
I think if there is it will be spectacular, specially with the powerful hardware the Desire has

[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

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.

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......

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] Snesoid on CM9 FXP127 hangs on certain games

I can't post in the CM9/FXP12x thread so hope someone can help me here.
I'm running CM9/FXP127 and everything is running fine with the exception of some games in Snesoid. On stock I could run any game I threw at it. The roms are on my SD card. Those same roms (didn't move them or anything) now stopped working in CM9. I've tried a couple and Super Mario Kart en Super Mario World stopped working, whereas they did work previously. On the other hand Super Metroid and Lost Vikings still work perfectly. Is anyone else experiencing the same issue or does anyone know of a fix? I've tried different settings in snesoid (including the C core thing), but nothing seems to fix it.
I really like CM9, but snesoid is the reason I bought this phone, so I might have to settle for GB.
Try xdark ICS. That rom runs everything

SNES9X EX won't play anything

Hello. I'm new to smart phones. I saw Super GNES in the app store. I installed the Lite version and noted that FFIII rom ran just fine. I eventually found out about SNES9X EX and installed that from explusalpha.com. When I attempt to play the ROM I see the controller come up on screen, but nothing happens. There is no video or audio for the rom. I also tried Super Mario World. Same thing, work on Super GNES, but not SNES9X EX. I tried another emu from the app store and it's the same deal as SNES9X EX. My phone is not rooted, but as I understood I shouldn't have to do that. I've checked to make sure Super GNES isn't the default, which it's not. I've also tried uninstalling Super GNES and running SNES9X EX to no avail. The way I got the rom on the phone was by putting it into drive and making it available offline on the phone, could this be the reason? I've tried moving the ROM to the downloads folder using Android file manager, still not working. The rom is a .smc which I believe works on SNES9X EX. Any help is appreciated.

n7100 nesoid savestates not working

I've got an n7100 running a stock rom and kernel. I have nesoid 2.5 installed from here http://sourceforge.net/projects/nesoid/ . For some reason, savestates don't work across restarts of the emulator. I can play a game and save and load the quick save over and over and it works as it should. If I completely close the emulator or reboot the phone, when i start nesoid and try to load the savestate, the emulator gets all garbled and the game can't be played.
Savestates are working as expected on all the other emulators I tried (gensoid, gameboid, fpse, mupen64, ...). Has anybody experienced this issue with nesoid and the n7100? And does anybody happen to have a fix for it?
