Well I'm going on holiday soon and I wanted to know some Must have's to entertain me on the FOur and half hour flight, Any suggestions?
You probably would have already got the list...but in my opinion...the games would be
1. GTA III
2. Gangster Rio
3. Trial Xtreme 2
The Apps which I have and might be useful are (apart from the already present default ones like Google Maps and stuff)
1. Tasks
2. Shazam
3. Viber
4. Whatsapp
I would like to see more suggestions myself as I will be travelling to attend a music festival myself...
Any emulators by yongzh
I don't understand the fascination with Yongzh emulators.... apart from netplay, they are worse in just about every way than other emulators... n64oid is probably the exception, and we dont have an alternative (yet) to gameboid, but the rest have much better alternatives available.
I pray every day for another gba emulator, gameboid looks horrid and I cant stand to play games looking that blurry, its an assault to the eyes.
I like loop / music making programes to play around for a bit, using nanoloops for that atm. and works good
If you got Wifi there, go for veetle or sopcast player to watch some flicks.

ive been trying to get gameboid (gba emulator) working but nothing happens when i open a rom. are there more people who allready have tried this?????
btw are there more people who have tried playing other games on android
its a bit laggy with me but i dont know if it is because we dualboot android or it isnt perfect enough for these games
I'm coming from a G1, so I still have a few games I had already purchased. All my emulators (snes, gen, gba) run pretty slow, it was a little better with the overclocked build before the wifi was added, but no where near as smooth as it played on my G1 (smoothly with sound and no frame skip). I think once they get the OpenGL to work, it should run pretty smoothly, But for now, it's just a waiting game. Be patient.
i have download a newer version of gameboid and now it works but have to find how to set the buttons
i haven't tried any of the emulators in android (just use my WM ones still) but have some games from the market place that work pretty good Gem Miner, Crystal Light, Farm Frenzy (lags some) Portal Keeper, Settlers 3 and Spades Master Online i tried path of the warrior icommando and tankace didnt work
i can see gameboid works better then morphgear, ive more frames
i ve not that many games for android yet but labyrinth is damn laggy but maybe its because it uses g sensor
yes i tried this game labyrinth lite and its 3d game
did you also have very much lag with labyrinth ?????
Robo defense is a very entertaining tower defense game. It's probably my favorite game for Android.
I downloaded this game a couple day ago and cant stop playing it! It just went free in the market recently and it's playable without multitouch. The graphics and gameplay are unmatched by any other game on android due to Unreal Engine.
The only downfall (I'm not really complaining) is that after the game is installed it downloads 600 megabyes of data to the internal memory for tutorials, levels, etc
Trendy Entertainment has announced a PvP expansion as well.
Now I'm sad that I have to lose my game data to install the latest firmware and market mod
Downloading now.
Looking at the graphics from the screen shots in Market, you should get Pocket Legends. It has similar graphics, its free and it was the first MMO for Android. Cross platform play with iPhone/iTouch also.
Thanks, I'll have to look into that. I noticed an issue with Dungeon Defenders today. I was playing the second level and my attack button stopped working. I don't know if the touchscreen got too warm after two and a half hours of straight gameplay or it it was just locking up on me. It cost me the level
I just downloaded pocket legends but it stays at the connecting to server screen forever. Im on the latest firmware with the market mod
Hello,
i have installed 3 games on my sg2:
Cordy https://market.android.com/details?id=com.silvertree.cordy Beautifull game, but i have force close..
HexDefense http://www.hexdefense.com/ Good game, but it alway freeze after 5/10mns
Armored defense https://market.android.com/details?...oid.armoreddefense.game&feature=search_result
Force close at the start of the game..
I'm really disappointed with android games, for the moment, i'm coming from an iphone 4
What do you think?
Thanks for your suggestion.
I have cordy installed myself. No force closes for me
Havent tried either of the other 2 games
I currently have Can knockdown 2, peggle, zuma, samurai 2:Vengence, worms, Cut the rope, Plants vs Zombies and Hero of Sparta (poor game) installed and running without issues.
Am much happier with the games than i thought i would be. Samurai 2 is Phenomenal!
Sorry to hear bout your problems, but i would put forward that its either the version you are downloading or else a problem with your phone....
Only thing i've had problems with so far is Pandora Radio
EDIT This Post may be of some use to your search aswell
Thanks for your reply.
Can i see log files or something like that to see where is the problem?
my current fav games are
myth defence, fieldrunners [ios version now on android] and paradise island.
oh and angry birds of course, and now cut the rope too!
all work great, no problems
Rumble
If u turn off all in settings in hex defence - it will work normal
I don't know about the games you mention, but some games haven't been yet optimized for SGS II.
Or it could be something wrong with the configuration of your phone (rom, kernel etc)
Besides the above:
Armored defense https://market.android.com/details?...oid.armoreddefense.game&feature=search_result
Force close at the start of the game..

It says at the market: KNOWN ISSUE: The first time the game load could run very slow in some phones (Galaxy S, …). SOLUTION: exit the game (phone BACK button) and restart it
my games are cordy, majesty, battleheart, dropwords,speedx 3d, reversi and naval clash.
no problems whatsoever. in fact cordy looks better and plays faster than a psp game.
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.
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......

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.
Hello,
Just got a Play today for use with emulators as it's perfect for physical buttons. But to my surprise there is a lag in it and I mean big time.
By default it's set to auto frame skip max 2, if i leave it like that then the game looks like its jumping really badly but it sounds fine. If i set the skipping to 0 then it runs smoothly but theres this annoying poping and clicking sound on the speakers.
Some people might say i should talk to the developer of the emulators. But this isnt an issue with them, as i dont see any other users with these issues and I don't really belive them to be true when lower devices run these emulators without issues.
I'm running stock formware 2.3.3 latest update. I havent removed any system apps at all literally just bought the play, updated software, loaded emulators and discovered this.
For snes I use supergnes and it has the best sound I have ever seen outside of bsnes, no crackling and a nice front end for launching games.

Thanks that one looks really nice and seems to work better than Snesoid!
Just remove some of the stuff on your homepages, like the game launchers, and the Timescape widget, also the photo and video one too, and the emulators should run better.

I'm making a video to demonstrate the problems. I'll add it to youtube shortly hopefully people can then tell if it's normal or not.
EDIT: Heres the video
Description:
In this video I play Gameboid with pokemon first showing it with frameskip set to auto and 0, and you need to listen carefully to the sound so you can hear that it crackles all the time which is very annoying. I then change the frameskip to 2 which is the default and you can then see that the game skips and jumps and is just too laggy to be belivable.
After that i try out Gensoid and you can see the same results from me running sonic. I get this result with every game i try. I also tried md.emu for sega but it was better but still skipped when the frameskip wa set to auto.
If anyone knows what I can do to solve this please let me know iw ould greatly aphiciate it as i bought the play JUST for emulators, if it doesnt play them then its totally a waste of money for me.
As soon as I got mine, I updated to 2.3.4, and tried Outrun(mame), Sonic 1, and 2 Gensoid), and Contra(Snesoid), both had bad sound, just like on my old phone, which really wasn't up to the job, but on removing Timescape, and that stupid photo and video widget, and the emulators virtual pads, they ran like a charm, Gensoid, Snesoid, and Mame4Droid all work fine, with no sound issues now.
Mame4Droid, I unticked Threaded Sound, as it seemed to cause issues, the others were left with stock settings, bar the virtual screen buttons removed.
I see, I was thinking that i'm the only one with the issues. Well in the end I went to the MIUI build on here and went away from the 'oid' series. Belive it or not but I found Genesis A.D. and MD.Emu to be faster and full speed or at least 99.99%. genplusdroid had a problem it was running slow and also the sound was a tone lower.
Also Snes A.D. seems to be full speed with Chrono Trigger sound included. Have yet to try Snes9x.
SNES: check
SEGA: check
GBC: check
PSX: check
MAME: havent tried
ATARI: havent tried
N64: check
GBA: no dice still lags with gameboid and gba player lite is jumpy, anyone know of another?
FPSE has a bad case of crackling sound... but only if the app is on the background. While you're actually using it there is no problem.
