nice thread, although i donta have my sgs2 as of yet would be nice to be able to play some of the non compatable games as a few are good
AIUI the current version of the SGS II doesn't use the tegra chipset so does that mean that the games featured in the Tegra Zone app typically won't work ?
Gun Bros works
Assassin's Creed HD
Fruit Ninja
Moron Test
Robot Unicorn Attack

Tetris
All these work perfectly.

The galaxy s2 is not available on any mobile services yet, only phones4u so there wont be many compatible games available yet until the updates come through. They shouldn't take long though. I would still recommend getting one though. It's the nicest phone I have ever used. I have always had HTC's or an Iphone and this is just in a different league. All my mates are sending back there iphone 4's now because they had a go on this one

It depends were you get them from. If there free you can download them from the internet, but then you might as well get them from the market. At least then they will be regularly upgraded. I would only download the APK's from the internet when there is only a specific version that will work. If you want to install them from My Files you will need to allow the installation from an unknown source. You can find paid game for free if you know were to look but I wouldn't recommend it. I only do that when I'm trying different versions of the game for research purposes. But i remove them straight away.
Shame that it looks like most of the newer Gameloft games have problems...=(
I love playing NOVA 2 on my iPad 2 with gyroscope, hope it will be fixed soon for the SGSII!

Do you know how to make yoshimitsu tripple himself in tekken 3? I've been playing this game since I was 5 and one day I randomly mashed buttons and made him tripple himself and do all kinds of moves...but nobody seems to know that ''secret''
combo...
To be honest, I think your favourite games will just be whatever you played as a kid. The nostalgia value is a massive part of emulation.
For PSone I'd recommend Crash Bandicoot 3, Crash Bash, WWF Smackdown 2, Tomb Raider 3, Tomb Raider: Chronicles, Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone, Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3, Spiderman 2.
Some less well known ones that I still really enjoy include Tomba!, Toy Story 2, Chicken Run, Dave Mirra Freestyle BMX, Heart of Darkness, Intelligent Qube and Incredible Crisis.
Try them out if you're wanting something good that the "best psx games" lists never mention.
I wont say most of my favorites because they are what you would expects (mario, crash bandicoot etc)
But some obscure games I really enjoyed for the PS1 were:
1.Team buddies
2.The Misadventures of tronne bon
3.Gex
4.Lego racers
I dont really have any obscure favorites for the N64 but as a random addition I will throw in my favorite GBA games which are Boktai and Boktai 2. I wouldn't recommend playing them on the xperia though since they used special cartridges with solar panels so you would only be able to play them with cheats which ruins the fun.

Was going to put Lego Racers on my obscure-but-great list but it doesn't work on FPSE. Also a bit of a weird game because every level was really hard until you found the shortcuts and then every level was stupidly easy.
First off if your looking for game ideas I hope your planning on buying these games or already own them.
As for my favorite games.
N64:
Rush
Rush 2049
Super Smash Bros.
Super Mario
Bomber Man
PSX:
Crash Team Racking
Twisted Metal series
Hot Wheels Stunt Track Driver
Ape Escape series
Buying these games a second or 3rd time from pawn shops, ebay, or garage sales does not get the game makers any money for there hard work.
Where does the line get drawn? Do you download the rom or give the pawn shop 5 bucks?
Do you be a crook and download it or do you pay a crook for it? Either way the production house does not get the money.

Yes this is a problem. You can no longer support the maker of the game since these games are so old.
But that still doesn't change the fact that downloading these games without owning them is illegal. Im not saying you have to rip the game or copy the bios yourself. Im just saying if your going to download the rom or bios you better have that game or console in your collection.
I liked banjo and kazuie....
And well, most peoples top 3's on here..
Playing a hanimex on a projector looks a bit pixely though....

yea nintendo and others needs to re-release these games for digital downloads, so we can buy them, i wanted to clock zelda for nes but at 200 bucks,it would be nice if they could release a cartridge with all its games in one,but then people without a unit would complain, its their fault for not supplying the demand for these old classics so people resort to other measures.

I'm looking at getting a couple gameloft games for my Xperia Play (R800x, Verizon).
what I'm looking at/for is something that will last me awhile, 10+ hours of gameplay preferably with good re-playability, in the following categories.
First Person shooter/Third Person shooter- Something like MC3(is it any good with Xperia play gamepad?) NOVA, Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six®: Shadow Vanguard HD, Ive tried 9MM and don't really like it.
RPG/MMORPG- Order and Chaos or DH2 (Ive got DH3 already)
Action/Adventure-Sacred Odyssey, Avatar.
These would all be from Gameloft's mobile store, due to the fact they accept Paypal. Ive got enough for 2 games right now.
MC 2 and 3 have a very active multiplayer, as does NOVA 2. Shadow Vanguard is great but the multiplayer is dead, noone plays anymore. DH2 is my favorite game on here and I would say is very re-playable.
None of these games are so great that I'd call them very re-playable, and in fact I probably wouldn't pay full price either as Gameloft often has sales where they sell em for only a buck. Although its been a while.
Modern combat 3 is my favourite, xperia play controls are great on the WAPstore version. Multiplayer is great too
hmm ok, what about Sacred Odyssey and Order and Chaos?
So I will start with my top five games for the Play:
#1 - I think the best game on the Xperia Play is Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six: Shadow Vanguard. To me this game was the most enjoyable on the Play, though it was a bit difficult even on the easiest setting. I got stuck very late in the game.
#2 - I think the next best game is Gameloft's Modern Combat 3.
#3 - The third best game I think is a toss up between Asphalt 6 or Eternal Legacy. I will give Eternal Legacy the nod simply because Asphalt was too difficult to complete.
#4 - That means Asphalt is the number four.
#5 - Lastly would be Spider-Man: Total Mayhem.
I'm a huge soccer fan, but I am yet to play a good soccer game on the play. FIFA 12 shot itself in the arm with the lack of the D-pad for controlling your player as well as the annoying touch-driven commands to take free-kicks, penalties, corners etc. I don't get why developers don't realize that the whole reason people bought the Play is because they don't like touch-oriented games when it comes to serious gaming. Sure it's OK [not perfect] in Temple Run and Angry Birds, but I did not buy my Play with a slide-out gamepad to play Angry Birds or Temple Run. I bought it actually to play a good game of FIFA!
Also, every single one of my top five games have been Gameloft games. It amazes me that there are people who dislike Gameloft. I understand that they imitate other developers but they are, in my opinion, the best developer of mobile games. Their games bring the closest experience of console-like games to mobile platforms. Kudos to them. By the way, most games are inspired by other games. Sure Gameloft copies other games closely and sometimes not very well [an example being the Gangstar franchise,] however Gameloft developed Eternal Legacy, an RPG that I found more enjoyable than Square Enix's last two console offerings, FF13 and FF13-2. In fact, Eternal Legacy was more reminiscent of an old school Square game, with old school turn based combat and allowing you to control each character in battle.
Ok that's just a side note, however.
So Rainbow Six is my favorite game, what's yours?
Asphalt 6 was too difficult to complete? Unless complete means 275 stars, then I don't believe that. Even getting 275 stars wasn't that bad :O Anyways, thanks for listing the games, I'll look in to these as I haven't played them.

you can play fifa 12 with no touch screen controls, just select casual controls on options, but theres no fix for the dpad, i would prefer the dpad but the analog isn't that bad either, what i dont like the most is i cant change controls to shoot to goal with square and center with circle.
My favorite games are:
1) Fifa 12
2) virtua tennis
3) Gta III

When I referred to touch controls I meant the "touch pads" not touch screen. I dislike not being able to shoot with traditional buttons, too.
i ment you can use the circle button to take free kicks and the triangle to take thrown ins if you select casual controls on options, i found out recently, i believed casual controls ment easier passes or something for beginners, but is for this, is great to be able to use all with the physical controls

hahahha Exactly buddy...
I cannot get past the second block puzzle on that
I purchased deadspace which I used to have my LG Thrill, but on my Galaxy S III it doesn't even show in the market. However games such as Modern Combat 3, Soulcraft THD, and Mass Effect Infiltrator show up.
Also, Sonic The Hedgehog 4 Episode II shows up, but not the THD version.
Unless there's a newer Tegra 3 plugin for chainfire I wasn't able to find (I'm only aware of the Nvidia zip), is there a way to get these to appear? By doing this the Play Store forces us to acquire the games by other means.. which is ridiculous since I'm willing to pay/have already paid in the first place.
