Emulators (snes, psx, etc)

I came across this thread that hasn't been updated for over half a year but still applies.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1173601&highlight=emulator
It includes all those awesome Emulators that were removed from the market that can be found on SlideME now
a couple updates
I use DroidEmuROMGet to search and dl the roms
for CPS2 all those CAPCOM arcade games go here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1483303&highlight=cpsemu
for NeoGeo go here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1402986&highlight=cpsemu
for psx use fpse
if anyone else would like to recommend other apps, I'm all ears.
I seriously spent hours playing a bunch of games @[email protected]

Nice! Thanks for putting all of this in one place. Time to play some old school games!

No problem! I haven't looked into emulators since the mt4g days and I noticed a lot of emulators and apps to find ROMs went missing from the market. Searched and came across that goldmine. very informative and they all run smoothly, the fpse works pretty well too. only played ff9 and castlevania sotn on it so far.. buttons are kind of hard so gonna look into the sixaxis controller soon.
btw i recommend the capcom and neogeo emulator. AWESOME!

Where can I download roms for these emulators?
Edit: NM just read your whole post..

I cant figure how to make the emulator work. I've d/l some csp2 roms and can't figure how to play them. Can someone give me a quick tutorial?

you can always check the original thread.
what i do is simply download the ROM launch the emulator, search for the ROM and play.
you have to choose the actual full sized games, some are considered as "CLONES" and don't work properly. the games are usually bigger than 5mb, if one is about 1MB then i suggest finding another.. and i think the ones with the letter "u" at the end are also clones, not exactly sure.
so...
1. download rom
2. launch emulator
3. search for downloaded rom
4. insert coin and start!

From what I've read our stock rom will not allow us to use the sixaxis or wii controllers. There is a problem with the stock Samsung bluetooth stack. We can flash a CM or ASOP rom which will change the stack. However, that also removes MHL functionality as far as I know.
I'm currently using FPSE and playing some old Final Fantasy VII. Also have snesoid going.

Psxperia converting

Guys, I am sorry for any inconvenience caused but I don't understand why some people can convert the game Parappa the rapper game but I got the apk couldn't write without error things fix. I'm not that good in what yifanlu had said. Can anyone here let me know what to do to fix it? I had downloaded the zpak and apk file from other websites but the game didn't seemed to respond well. Like sometimes the timing for that game isn't right. I'm sorry for a pain in the arse guys.
Sent from my R800i using XDA

I had the parappa the rapper apk on my pc but I think I deleted it with all the data.it worked fine but it didn't save on easy and you couldn't go to the chicken because the game always rebooted. On normal it runs smoothly. I'll try to attach it later when I get the chance.

Thank you... I have the crash apk and zpak. I just needed the parappa because that games was nice. it runs smoothly. You can't get to chicken in easy mode. Only the normal mode can complete the whole game, mate.=) so what about the timing of those songs? Because I already had one but the timing for parappa to sing is to quick.
Sent from my R800i using XDA

I mean I downloaded it from other people. But the games singing for parappa was too quick. Some of the peoples here can create that game but some can't I guess.

I'm not sure if it's part of the game but sometimes parappa stars to speak jibberishjibberish

Sorry about the noob info about the parappa game. It's actually my first time playing that game. Weird it has been around for about 15 years and I barely take notice. Heh heh heh.
Sent from my R800x using XDA

Erm... Well, for my gameplay he use to sing following the beat of the songs. But what I saw is that he's doing it a lil bit faster than the beats of the song.

Games that work on S3

I just wanted to know what games work for you guys. I figured most games would be supported because of Qualcomm Adreno graphics. But I tried Mass Effect: Infiltrator which just crashes, and MC3 and Nova3 just say unsupported. So I just wanted to know, what graphically good games you all have been able to get working.
Thread is now just a discussion about games on the S3.

Shadowgun works.

Asphalt 6: adrenaline tells me my device is not supported.

Need for speed
Final Defense
Front Line Commando
Most Glu games I believe, Gameloft, on the other hand, rarely works

Riptide GP is a good one. Worth buying for sure.

Nba jam works.

Has anyone tried Chanfire 3d on the US S3? It worked perfectly on my s2, but now when I install it it reboots the phone, after driver install, and the app is missing? I tried to re-install the app, but says 'incompaitable update'.???

Samurai II: Vengeance works
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using xda premium

six guns did not work.

I don't know what kind of games your looking for but Minecraft Pocket works on mine and so does Game Dev Story.

Which needs for speed works? I have shift and it wouldn't work.
Temple run, Osmos HD, and World of Goo works
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using xda premium

Max Payne does NOT work. You can move and aim but all the other controls are missing and the touch setup is grayed out. You can even bring up the menu to quit once youre in

It's BS about all these games that are not supported for the U.S. Galaxy S3. Millions of people would buy these games and so many do not even work. I have weaker device but at least it has way more high-end games for it. Either that or I can spend more money and get way more high-end games for my iPad.

Sure did. Didn't see that other post. All the games I play run pretty good, but then again, I don't play many games on my phone.

star blitz will not even open enough to download resource package. i think this is a resolution issue, as it worked fine on my s2, but NOT my transformer prime OR s3. i emailed them regarding it, ill post back my findings.

tiger woods 2k12 doesn't work, paid $5 for that shiz too. worked perfectly fine on my og epic, so there's no excuse. doesn't work on nexus 7 either.

9mm by Gameloft also says it's not compatible with this device . Bought it when I had Evo3d. Strange cause this device is more powerful than 3d and it was compatible with that. Guess it's software issues?

I haven't had any issues with mc3.
I took and transfered the apk for dead space from my s2 and other then some sound crackle from time to time it plays fine. Any of the apks I've downloaded from the net would just crash after loading like already mentioned.

Bump, just an update. I didn't get to try fpse but I am playing through epsxe and the games are working great. Chrono Cross anyone? Epsxe also gives you an ability to run Open GL plugins so your characters are all high-res, freakin amazing. [not available in fpse] Works great wirelessly with the ps3 controller as well if youre interested.
