Best PSX emulator? - Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

What's the best PS1 emulator for the xperia play? Mostly for street fighter alpha 3. Any that are optimised?
Also, is there any way i can legally obtain a ROM of alpha 3 in the UK?

Ics or gb ?
Ics = fpse
Gb = psxperia

IMO FPSE if you just want to drag and drop isos on your sd card, but psxperia if you don't care if you have to convert them.
That's assuming you're using Gingerbread (2.3.x) otherwise your only option is FPSE

Yeah, still on stock unrooted gingerbread. I'd rather not convert the ISO's as i don't even know how yet.

I don't think there is any legal way to obtain a rom. You can purchase the game and rip it yourself to an ISO file. But I think Sony lawyers will argue that you can only play the actual disc on their actual console. But anyway, eBay and used game stores are your friend.

Really? I have so many isos and it's not even funny how EASY they are to get, all I'm gonna say is that emuparadise, romhustler, and google are your friends and leave it at that.

Best Game to show off the phone?

Normally i use quake3droid at max settings (2048x1024 (i probably got the res wrong) etc) or i use a 3d game such as Guerrilla bob. What do you normally use? What game really shows the power of this phone?
Modern combat is a good one. Lags a bit in the menus but the graphics are absolutely stunning

modern combat or modern combat 2?
modern combat didnt work for me, HD versions anyway
Modern combat 2 I paid for it in the premium game hub...... awesome fps also Nova is another good one

any more? maybe graphics apps?
I presume the true power of the gpu will never be had, as from what I read drivers are poxy and have to use chainfire to sit in the middle to run stuff.
Do you think it will ever run true???
I dunno about using "the power of the phone" but Samurai Vengance II looks nice on the SGS2. Dungeon Defenders would be another good choice if it actually worked.
Angry Bots!!!
Try Angry Bots!!
its only a tech demo right now but it looooks super sweet

Samurai II : Vengeance
N.O.V.A. II
Dungeon Hunter 2
Basically any/most Gameloft games look great!
Zorro: Shadow of Vengeance looks good too.
How are you guys buying nova 2? I have tried the market, Chainfire 3d, and the Gameloft site. None show it available for sale. Am I using Chainfire wrong or something? Not really looking to pirate anything.

Riptide.

Online one correct answer here and phunkycow got it:
Riptide GP
As already stated Gameloft make some nice looking games. My personal faves are:
Galaxy on Fire 2 - Tegra 2 version using Chainfire (sad we need to use Chainfire)
Order & Chaos
Dungeon Defenders
A little off topic - It's pretty sad we so much fragmentation in the Android gaming space with developers signing deals with phone makers/chipsets. Thankfully, we have guys like Chainfire but I can see why Apple mobile gaming may be the future.

Gameloft released a version of Nova 2 which doesn't need Chainfire 3D.
Go to the gameloft site from your mobile - it should be there.

It's not showing on my market, is it region specific or something?
Also can I use it on my phone, not sure if I have tegra or not.
Thanks
edit: Well I don't have tegra in my phone, so can't play riptide, this is a joke. As if Android needs any more fragmentation.....
Managed to do some reading and installed chainfire 3d and the nvidia plugin.
Played riptide and samurai 2, while they are both very different graphical styles I'd have to say samurai looks better in my opinion.
Both lovely looking games though.
my small test is the best graphically looking on android: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1164111
Kidding
Well I'd say either riptide gp or dungeon defenders.
Nova 2 looks great as well.
Dead Space!!! Chainfire3D/Qualcomm plugin look awesome!!!

Uhm I don't play gta, how do you unlock the weapons? If by cash just hack the cash value, if unlocked by missions, try to see if there's a number representing each mission and you can modify which mission you're at. You also can hack health and stuff to make the game easier, this allows you to continue playing it without skipping levels etc

[Q] NOVA2 for XPERIA PLAY?

Can I get NOVA2 for my xperia play through the Android Market? I have the game as I got for my Nexus S, but when I try downloading it on my Xperia Play, I am allow to download the game but when the start screen appears, it says my phone is not supported. Is funny as others not-supported games would usually not appear in the android marker, but this appear even though it will later tell me is not supported. Is the only way of getting this game through the Gameloft website?

You bought the OMAP version of Nova 2, Just because you now own a play dosent mean you are allowed a free copy of the snapdragon version. Thats why it's not compatible.
Sent from my R800i using Tapatalk
First of all, Nexus s is not omap, is hummingbird. And thr android market doesn't work as the gameloft wap store does. The android market will provide an apk based on the device that accesses it.
So if i buy something in any of my devices i can download it again in my other devices and i should get the right apk(provided that the developer provides different apk for different devices, which almost noone does). And android run in dalvik so i dont need different apks for different architetures. And that thing of buying an omap/snapdradon/etc version doesn't make anysense because i bought 9mm, tintin and order and chaos in my xperia and i can also play them in my nexus S.
Sent from my R800x using Tapatalk
I am pretty sure is just the screwup system for device detection that gameloft uses in all of its games. Good example is tintin, where a lot of people with high-end phones are getting the 2d version of thr game becuase apparently thir phone doesn't meet the minimum requirements(and i am talking SGS2 and GNex). Screw gameloft they should abandon their wapstore.

Actually the samsung hummimgbird is an OMAP based chip, infact it's almost identical to the A8. Whether or not you are right about the way gameloft games work in the market i'm not sure, i know i had to purchase all my gameloft games again when i moved to the play.

I purchased NOVA 2 on the Market during one of the Android Market only sales they had. It installed but when i tried to start it it told me it was incompatible with my device and would not download the additional files. Luckily it was within the 15 minute window and I deleted and refunded it.
It still comes up on the market for me as compatible but its not so I would suggest to those who have downloaded it from there, refund it immediately.

Must be an R800x thing, just like with MC3. Except MC3 at least prevents you from downloading it, they likely forgot to mark off the R800x in the developer console when they loaded NOVA 2 to the market.
SO I stand corrected, if you have an R800x do not download NOVA 2 from the market.

it's not more on a fast working NDS emulator it's more based on the fact of the programming being coded correctly.
I play the Pokemon games and they are fast in the in intro about 60 frames per second but under gameplay it dips below 20 frames per second. what is quite ridiculous seeing how the note 2 in hardware wise blows the Nintendo DS obviously haha. the PSP emulator however doesn't really work that great is onl because it's early in stage development. I played Moto GP all it did was lag.
the PSP specs, the CPU itself it was simply on 333 megahertz. GPU wasn't great either. I even think the PS Vita also isn't that great. granted its quad core but the GPU is the equivalent of a 2010 Android high end phone.
