[Q] Which emulator best? - Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

My son has a Xperia play, I was going to have a mess with an emulator on it "for old times sake"
It's not rooted or anything like that, is there a simple way to get an emulator working, not too technical and which is best?
Cheers

What console do you want to emulate?

Depends on what you want to emulate. FPSE is great for psx

sorry should have said
not sure really, whatever is the best, smoothest out there really?
I came from Commodore 64, Amiga, but anything really, I want to show my son some "classic" games from when I used to play, and maybe some newer ones, PS1 possible?
also as a side note, I currently have a HTC Sensation XE, wil these work on my phone or only the Xperia Play?
cheers

You can find Commodore 64, PS1, Gameboy & gameboy advance emulators that work on most phones. Just search for them on Google Play

they will work on the Sensation
another good emulator is MAME4droid

I don’t have a clue!

Dosbox turbo is a great port of Dosbox on android. Xperia Play optimized. I'm currently playing at wolf3d and Master of Orion 2 (steam and gog releases, respectively).

I'm after a particular game to work on my XE and sons Xperia play, am I allowed to name the game and ask which emulator is best for it please?

yes cause you can, fire away your just not allowed to post warez and where you got them from

Ok great do I need to get snesx9 them for lemmings 1 & 2? I thought they were on Amiga to though.
How's the control method? I'm hoping its touch, ie touch a climber icon, then touch a lemming?

snesx9 is free just search on google and yea they are on amiga to but its so much easier to get them working with the snes emulator

Can't find snesx9 on play store. Also forgot to say both my XE and sons Xperia Play are standard non rooted, not sure if this makes a difference?
I can find snesdroid, does it make a difference which emulator is used?

I mean search on google in your phones web browser u will find snes9x you can use snesdriod but the games lag ,non root will be fine

Ah sorry. I've never installed anything other than from the Google play store.
Is there none on the play store that run fine?

snesdroid will run it ok just download all the free snes emulators and try them all and keep the one that works best then just delete the others

Games

Not heard much about games on the Desire. I've installed Gameboid (GBA Emulator) and a GBC emulator and both work perfectly on my phone with sounds. Shame they don't have multi touch!
Native games i'm not so sure about...
what do you mean by multi touch (lack of) ive used both and mega drive one and they play as they should. i find the vertical way works smoother than horizontal. I know what you mean about games although i know gameloft have a few games ie assassins creed and asphalt 5. shame i cant download them yet.
No multi-touch...I.E when i play GBC emu and GameBOID you can't press a direction and say jump at the same time using the on screen buttons.

There's a video on youtube that shows exactly that working with a Desire and Snesoid.
Cheers
But not Gameboid i'm 99% sure that doesn't work and definitely not on GBCoid.

thanks for the clarity as i know it works on gameboid and gbcoid and gensoid. tried em all. just not perfectly. I really think the touch is over sensitive. portrait mode works better for me.
Paperthrow ftw!! LOL
One game I can't put down is World War. If anyone is playing this and would like and ally, please feel free to add me on 3C4WJ4.
SNESoid works perfectly here with multitouch.
Are there any games pre-installed? What games are people finding work well on the Desire? Due to get mine shortly so just looking for the heads up. Cheers.
Abduction works well and the clone of bejewelled called "Jewels" which is free in the market is actually better than the official Bejewelled app.

Using Wii Remote to play emulators?

I've read about using a Wii remote to play games on the phone, but I'm not able to find a working app for the G2. Has anyone found one that works on an emulator? If so, what emulator are you using and what wiimote app did you find?
I use Rwiimote I think its called, from market, works great. I'm using VISIONary and snes emulator. Played mario for almost an hour the other day using this

Greetings from another SLC resident.
I had too much invested in my 8bit NES games to get a SNES system, so the only Nintendo games I'm even familiar with are the old ones. (I'm old. lol) Will those play on an SNES emulator? If so, then I'll give that a shot. Now if I could only find a NDS emulator I'd be all set!
Awesome don't see many people close on big forums like this lol. I see there's NESoid in the market. Lite and full. Full let's you save/load save states. Id reccomend that since its on phone. I always play mario or something whiile waiting then gotta quickkly pack up and go so that's nice.
Agreed on the NDS emulator lol. Best one I've seen is playstation, I bet the g2 could handle that but seems a bit much to me lol

the psx emulator works awesome on the g2. no lag. though i heard people having alot of problems with the wiimote app.
I haven't had trouble yet :shrug: to me it seems the psx has too many controller buttons to map to a phone is my hesitation
I haven't looked into this at all yet but is there any way to bluetooth a PS3 controller to a G2 to use with PSX emulator?
I use this: http://www.appbrain.com/app/wiimote-controller/com.ccpcreations.android.WiiUseAndroid
I was thinking PS3 or 360 controllers too

I use this too.
It works really nicely with psx4droid if you have a wii classic controller.
On NES though, you can just use the wiimote and map it within NESoid's settings.
i use the wiiclassic controller and i use wii controller ide or something like that. never had any problems with the program.

I've go the same setup. With snesoid.
Heres the original thread for the Wiimote app.

for ps3.... if your a dev, you might be able to craft something up. Only support I found was for Windows Mobile
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=689984
I dont see any problems with ps games, once you overclock that is.
Goodluck, and let me know if you figure out a way to get the ps3 controller working lol... i really hope someone is working on this for Android....
I need some help. I'm using SNesoid Lite and Wiimote. I get the wii controller
to work and i set the buttons in SNesoid, but when i start the game the wii
controller doesn't work Anyone have any ideas why. my phone is still stock
I waiting to root when CM 6 comes out. thanks for any help.
There is a option in snesoid to enable rem remote controls. It's in other settings, use input method.

Where to get emulators and games?

When I first got the Evo, July I believe, I tried an emulator and it lagged pretty bad, button response was terrible, so I quit and I never tried again. Any idea where I can grab a NES, SNES, and Sega emulators? Where can I get games for them?
I did a search for this, but it was all for the Touch HD.

I was looking for more trusted sites so that I could go somewhere without worrying about what I am downloading. I was also hoping for insight on the emulator that would have the least lag.

Which emulator are you looking for; playstation, nes, ect?
SNESoid, GENsoid, and NESoid all have lite version available in the market (only difference is the instant save/load feature is disabled.
I have the entire english library of SNES, Genesis, and NES games on my droid (I don't game on the EVO, no good controls lol)
Don't listen to any of these noobs.
Go to the Market and search for "EMULATOR ROMS" by COOLCODE.ORG
The offer an app that you can download emulators and roms directly from their app.
I don't want to give out any site names so PM if you want...

[Q] Playstation Pocket

Hi and good day to all
(this is my 1st post actually)
just got the Xperia Play last week and just sold my old galaxy5 .. been browsing the forums and upgraded it to the latest firmware and kernel(thanks Mr DoomLord!)..
that's why it also inspired me to create an account and be a part of this forum rather than lurking.. anyway,
I saw some games for the xperia play and its all great but
I'm not quite familiar with the playstation pocket feature.. and the're also what they call FPSE and Psx4Droid, and cant seem to understand how to use them or which to use, right now im just playing the stock Crash Bandicoot shipped with it.
Can someone advice what's best to use or the easiest to setup because Ive tried to check those emulators and got me all confused with mixed opinions from people on other forums..
Thank you very much for your time
~nooj
Ok Playstation pocket is and app that list's all your bought "official" playstation games. If you launch the app and click on the search icon, a list of all available games to buy will be listed although there are not many yet.
Both psx4droid and FPse are playstation emulators. FPse is by far the more superior of these applications, I am yet to find a game that dosent run pretty perfectly on FPse. To use these emulators legally, you need to first rip the bios from your PS1 into .bin format, then rip any game you wish to play into .iso/.bin/.cue/ect.
Thanks Androhero!
Okay! Will try FPSE!
Is there already a free downloadable links for this?
I'm excited to play FF7 and MGS1 ! Thanks!

Emulators took down..

Not that I can see, also there are plenty of free emulators on the ouya store that run every bit as good as other 'paid' emulators.
The exception in my findings is that epsxe for android is far superior to other playstation emulators on the platform (also they support ouya out of the box).
Robert Broglia is the name to remember with emulators at the mooment.
Mupen64 is good but if you can find a 2.7 version of n64oid, it works even better for n64 games..
Retroarch android has many of these emulators built into the system and it is open source and free.

Cheers Danny.
I dunno. I paid for several of them. I was playing my GBA emulator of Final Fantasy 5 last night. All of my Emulators were on there. Actually they just updated the "Stock" NES/SNES/Atari Emu (it's weird though)
Ouya plays roms like a champ! The GBA emulator works flawlessly as does all the SNES roms I've tried. The SNES emulator is very jazzy and grabs all of the cover art automatically. I haven't used the "stock" version because you have to throw everything into a "Roms" file on the internal storage I think. I like my roms separated by console.
