[Q] roms - Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

PLEASE could someone help me with regards to roms for emulators? i've tried some ps1 ones using ps playerx x lite or something like that and it says something about an invalid BIOS file?? i dont understad things like these so please could some help and explain to me how to sort it all out?
thanks

Well, all I can say is that PS1 emulators as well as GBA emulators often require the system bios files from their respective system to run. They aren't included in emulators in the first place because they don't want to get sued for copyright infringement . It is also against the rules to tell you how or where to get them though.

[Q]

Hi people.
aThe ability to have access to all those retro games, which I by the way often enjoy more than recent games as they mostly are nothing but eyecandy, was an important point for me to get an Android device.
At the moment I am kind of pissed. I just searched for SNESoid and couldnt find it in the Market. Did it get pulled?
Is there some other way than the market to get this app?
Apparently i failed to give this thread a title. Sorry about this, its my first one.

You can edit the title
Anyways ..
There is Snes9x EX or sega Genesis ...both give you the retro games ......
yes Snesoid (and the dev and all his software )got pulled becouse SEGA was *****ing
Thanks for the Info.
By now I found out, that the developers account in the market was deleted.
For now he posted all his emulators in another appstore, (am not able to post the URL, but just google for "SlideMe") , for now they are even all free. I think its a shame that Google pulled his apps, as they were a real plus for the android platform giving you access to a LOT of "real" games.
BTW: I still cant figure out how to change this threads title...

Noob to Android Help Please.

Hello Everyone.
I have just purchased a Sony Experia play for my sons Christmas present.
All I know is it is unlocked to any network and this is purchased from the UK.
What if anything are the 1st steps to enable emulation rom loading etc. on this phone. ??
I can`t find any tutorials on the 1st steps to take. Out of the box (Not even sure there are any)
Or is the phone good to go ….as it is with loading rom emulation etc.
There is no FAQ on this subject at all, and if there is?? I can`t find them.
Basically I would like my son to be able to acquire all the Good Stuff that this phone is capable of getting. E.g.: loading Roms. Iso, game files, emulation etc. etc. (like the psp, if this is even possible?)
Thank you for your time and any help.
Basically, you just have to install the emulator apps, load some roms into the sd card, do some quick configurations, and it's ready to go.
Gameboid, snesoid, n64oid, fpse are the most popular ones. You'll have to map the buttons to the gamepad first though. GBA emulators require a gba bios file. Finding one for the emulator using google shouldn't be too difficult.
Google keeps removing emulators from the market, but you can get the "oid" ones from slideme. There's an app called "emulator roms plus" that will help you find emulators, roms, and it can also install a gba bios. Personally I use tiger gba, tiger snes and tiger genesis (by Tiger King) instead of the "oid" versions.
You can either download the apps with your computer, load them onto your sd, then install, or use the phone's internet browser and download directly from there.

Hello Thank you Sir for your input..
Dam after reading numerous threads on rooting and bootloader unlocking I was under the impression ,that I had to do some major flashing to enable some sort of custom FW to get this Beast to run all the good stuff.
Real glad that this is not the case.

No, most of the good stuff is available out of the box. You only need to root/unlock if you want to do technical things like overclock, edit system files, and install custom roms/kernels.

The plays dual channel DDR2 ram means it can pretty much handle anything you can throw at it straight out of the box.
Bootloader unlocking/rooting ect is more for people that like to mod the phone and for flashing custom roms ect

Flashing custom roms is legal, though you have to unlock your bootloader to do so and that might void your warranty as SE put's it. So if you mean by 'not legal' is the same as voiding your warranty, then yes.
As said in this thread it do most things out of the box and pretty good i might ad

Thanks Guy`s you have made it almost crystal for me now with the experia play options.
Really appreciate all your help and advice.
Thank You.
On an added note any general computer experience with emulators or file browsing and opening will help you work this emulator app's pretty fine
fpse and gameboid will need bios files if you need a hand finding them just reply here i'm sure more than enough people will help you
also in fpse once you have loaded the bios save the settings so as you don't have to load the bios everytime you open the emulator app.
other information including compatability with the emulator is over in the themes and apps thread!
Your son is going to love this phone, it's so pro!

Custom roms are custom software for your device, most custom roms are based on the offical sony software. But some like CM7 are built from source (AOSP).
Sent from my R800i using Tapatalk
"custom roms" when talking about bootloaders and such = custom Android installation
"roms" when talking about emulators = the games themselves
A lot of newbies seem to get confused by these terms being used in more than one context within a single thread.

Afaik it's not legal to share the bios file's, you'll have to google them yourself, but is easily found when doing so and wich ones to use for best results
Ohh and it's not allowed on xda to share, link or discuss warez and such

Bios file for fpse

I couldn't find anything about this in the forum so i'm making this thread. Glad for the settings thread though. Made a HUGE difference in appearance. So everytime I Start fpse it asks for a bios file for making the program run better and to save games. What is this and where can i find it? Or do I really even need it? I've never had a psone emulator. Just SNES.

This is a file pulled from the physical system itself. By not including this file, emulators can be distributed legally. For those same legal reasons, you won't find them posted on a forum such as this (or links for that matter). You'll either need to google instructions for pulling the bios if you have the device, or search for less reputable places than this
Oh I see. Ok now I understand what it's asking for. Thanks.

Eternity warriors 2 hacks

Is anyone able to hack this game for me? Only the game save so your only level 1 and max gems and coins and what not? I am probably able to but I really don't want to root my S3.
And reason I'm doing this is because I had to uninstall the game and reinstall because of a bad download but Google didn't restore my save game

I have a Glu credits hack. Only thing is, when the game is loading and it realizes you have internet, it will connect to the Glu server and reset your coins. However if disable data and wifi, you can buy all the stuff you want. So buy whatever you want and then you can play in multiplayer with whatever you bought. ---> Here<---
Oh wow forgot about this thread. Im guessing you guys are root users, in the morning ill reply again to this post and tell you the alternative way since i cant find that other version.. but use game CIH. ill send you guys a link when i get up and explain how to use it. Youll beable to set your glu credits or w/e to like 50000000 and then buy all you want and then close the program and youll still have the items but not the currency

Did you pirate your game?
If so, then nobody here will help you. No discussion of pirated software is permitted in XDA.

Pirating software means downloading and installing software from unofficial sources in order to avoid paying.
You have to purchase it from Play Store, it's only $6.99.
Oh man so i need to buy games and thats mean i cannot download games from anywhere

Support the game developers. XDA-Developers is a community of such people (developers) so discussing anything about cheating their hardwork contradicts with this forums...
This is internet, you can pirate anything you want and nobody even the people here in XDA can stop you. But don't discuss it here, because this is a community where some people actually make a living off the money they get from selling their software.
So shall i download games or not if you know the websites of some then please give me the link i dont want to download games from play store because in such case if i need to uninstall it then i need to install it again which cause wastage of internet data

That is a bit of a grey area...
It is actually against the law to distribute copyrighted materials other than official means, free or not. This is the basis why Google sent cease and desist letter to Cyanogenmod Team a few years ago, because back then CM team distributed Google apps preincluded in the ROM zip. This is against the law according to Google, who sees the legit distribution of Google apps only via Play Store/Android Market. But then they allowed the devs to distribute Gapps as seperate zip.
I think the rules here in XDA only covers pirating in the means of avoiding payment (because it hurts the developers to do so) but it is allowed to bypass region and device restrictions, if there is no payment obligation.
This is why, here in XDA we see Google Keyboard apks and GEL apks, because they are region and device restricted, but there is no payment obligation to use said apps.
Now back to Asphalt 8... yes it is free to download and free to play, but it still has in-app purchases... so I think it is still not allowed to share it here because it will remove the potential income source for Gameloft. In app purchases will not work on pirated apps, I presume?
