I've found a way to play all our retro favourites from the Sega mega drive/genesis and Nintendo SNES era on our android phones.....
first you need "DroidEmu" from the play store, then you need to visit "emuparadise" http://www.emuparadise.me/ and download your game of choice. The games are downloaded in Zip format so they'll need to be extracted before DroidEmu will open them, but most of the files are sub 1mb, so won't take too long to download and extract. DroidEmu may ask you to allow download of extra files in order to play the game.....so far as I can tell, this is to be expected, and should be allowed..........enjoy
Edit......As well as playing Mega drive/Genesis and Nintendo SNES games, DroidEmu will also play games from NES, Gameboy Advance, Gameboy Colour and Gamegear consoles.... and as far as I can tell, the extra downloads I mentioned earlier, are "plugins" that allow this app to play games from all the above mentioned diverse consoles.....

Honestly these emulators are better because they aren't meant to do the whole "all in one" and do what they are designed to do.
GBA - My Boy
GBC - GBCoid
SNES - SNESoid
PSX - FPSE
N64 - N64oid
NDS - NDS4droid
PSP - PPSSPP
Dreamcast - NullDC

Normal .iso and .cso files should be able to run and also .pbp which is uses with the PSP's inbuilt PSX emulator. Maybe you got one which is .ccd which cannot run on FPse or any PSX emulator to be honest.

Have you downloaded any of the N64 game to try yet because they work on my phone no problem even when zipped.
I think this thread should be in the "Apps & Themes" forum.

Its more of a discussion about android emus rather than sharing a new app for the phone but whatever my participation goes only as far as suggestions and troubleshooting.
The PSX emulator FPSE is great! Now, I play YugiOh! Forbidden Memories. Such an ancient game! lol :laugh:

Hi!
I have been playing a lot of emulators on PC during the years. But is right now thinking of buying an Xperia Play, because I understand that it´s quite a nice phone. It´s on quite a sale in scandinavia right now, so I might be getting one during the week.
I would however like some input for some questions, and would be thankful if someone would take their time to answer them for me.
1. I have problems finding a reliable compatibility list for PSX-gaming. Three of the games that I really itch to play are "Alundra", "Final Fantasy Tactics" and "Legend of Mana". Can someone please enlighten me how these games will run on a Xperia Play?
2. I also have a question about other emulators. Will SNES & Genesis-emulators run lag-free on an Xperia Play?
Thank you for reading (and maybe answering) .
The Xperia Play is really awesome for playing games in emulators. The only problem is that most of them don't support the touchpad.
These are the emulators I've tried:
NESoid
SNESoid - completely lag-free, to answer your question
N64oid (sometimes a bit laggy)
GBCoid - gameboy color emulator
GameBoid - GBA emulator
FPse - PSX emulator
Unfortunately neither of these support the touchpad. And for PSX games I actually prefer FPse to the official PSX emulator that comes with the Play, because, while the official one supports the touchpad (very nicely, might I add), it is a bit buggy with most games that aren't available officially for it.
not sure about genesis as i haven't tried it yet. snes is no problem as is gameboy/advance/colour. on the psx side of things, you could try fpse or psxdroid for emulators. you would need the roms for those games you want as well as the bios file. or, you could also convert the roms of those games to work via the play's playstation pocket app. the pre-installed crash bandicoot game will give you an idea of how smooth it is once converted using the psxperia tool.
This is a magnificent device for emulators. Nuff said

I have emulators for Yongzhi's emulators for:
-Gameboid - GamBoy Advance
-SNEWSoid - Super Nintendo
-Gensoid - Genesis
-FPse - PSX
-N64oid - N64
And they all work flawlessly and are availble at the SlideMe market for FREE except for the N64 and PSX emulators. The PSX emulator is avaible on the Android Market and works on a lot of games but of course not all of them. I would suggest you visit the FSpe forum to find out which specific games work for the Play.
The N64 emulator is available from the SlideMe market for I think 2 bucks. I works okay with some games but is still be updated. Also u can try the open source one but I forget what it's called. I think it's on the XDA forum somewhere.
Just would like some ideas of which the best emus are for play ics. What works best with game pad, touch pads, frame rate.
Name each emu and for what system
GBA.emu - GBA
NES.emu - NES
FPSe - PSX
Snes9x EX - SNES
These are what I used on ICS, and they worked fine.

awesome thanks, I'll give those a go
Any ideas about NES, SNES, and Sega emulators?
Do they work on the Nexus 7, where to get games and which are the best emulators.
I just fancy a bit of Super Mario
There is a new nds emulator on the market search for Dsoid. It runs great.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using XDA Premium HD app
Search for slideme market and download that too your nexus 7. Then in that market look for nesoid, snesoid, all made by yonghz or something like that. Ask free and really good.
For roms just Google for them

Snes9x EX for best Snes emulator.
Snes9x EX is awesome, I can pair multiple wiimotes inside the emulator in a flash! Had fun playing killer instinct, bomber man and mario kart with a friend on a 7 hour drive.
I'm working on getting my 2 sixaxis controllers to work on n64oid for multiplayer but i need a Bluetooth keyboard to map the keys inside n64oid
Wanted to play Mario Kart on this with a Wiimote
What is the best Emulator to use for it?
What about the best PSX Emulator? I have been wanting to play FFVII again
FPse best PSX emulator by far
I'm crazy about Commodore 64 and have found the Frodo to be the best emulator out there. However, it has an arrow style joystick rather than the analog psx style which makes it painful to play games.
Is there another C64 emulator that has the analog stick?
Snesoid, gensoid and gameboid are great and FREE! They where taken off the market so just google them FPse is also great for ps1 games (one of my fave)
Sent from my HTC One X using xda app-developers app
Gameboid is a pretty good emulator.
If you do anything other than the following, you're doing it all wrong.
Download SlideMe here:
http://slideme.org/
search for "Yongzh"
Download all of the emulators.
all of the other ones are just rip offs of his, and the reason they havent been updated in a long time is that they do everything flawlessly
Robert Broglia emulators are the most accurate. His .emu range is in the Play store, just search for the author!
If you want to see for yourself, you can get his snes emulator for free from his website: http://www.explusalpha.com

I'd say very unlikely as the C64 itself didn't support an analog joystick, just analog paddles.

Yeah, the C64 joysticks were actually just directional buttons that the stick pressed on.
snes emulator
Very nice, and cool roms has all games - works flawlessly on my Nexus 7.
Is there a GameCube emulator?

Definitely not. Mobile devices simply aren't that powerful yet.

TTT - none of yong's emulators work on my 7. GameBoid kind of works but eventually locks up, Gensoid doesn't ever play. SNESoid doesn't work either. I wonder if they need to be recompiled for 4.1?
Anyone else experience same issues? yong's emulators were the best in the market. Still are as far as i'm concerned. They're still relevant to this day and do everything any emulator should do.
I've only tried Ataroid from Yongzh and that plays fine with a Sixaxis controller.
ePSXe is by far the best PSX emulator on the market, and works fine on the Nexus 7 too.

The Xperia Play is an awesome gaming device no doubt about it, I have several emulators including Sega Genesis, Sega Master System and Sega Game Gear. From what I can tell practically every game system up to the ps2 can be emulated. So my first question is.
Is Nintendo Wii Emulation possible on the Xperia Play? And my second.
Is there any chance we can get a Saturn, dreamcast, Sega CD or 32x emulator? Those last 2 are Genesis attachments btw.
Nintendo Wii emulation is still difficult on current DESKTOP computers, what makes you think it'll work on the Play?
http://www.xperiagamer.com/Blog3/nulldce-dreamcast-emulator-leaked.html
This is the latest on the secret Dreamcast emulator, it works but its basically an early alpha.
As for the other ones, they havent been done yet apart from the Sega CD.

How can I play Sega CD games??
Can someone tell me if I need BIOS for these emulators to work?
Or do certain settings need to be enabled to play roms?
Also what is CPS2 ( i think thats what it's called) ?
I'm starting to download the more obscure video game emulators and just need to know some info
-Thanks
Only Neogeo games need bios (neogeo.zip) in this emulator. Put that file in your roms folder and that's all.
And CPS2 is a Capcom arcade board: http://www.system16.com/hardware.php?id=795
Tiger Arcade also supports CPS1 and CPS3 games:

Tiger Arcade and Xperia Play are a great combo! I've been into Neo Geo and Capcom emulation for years but I have to say I think the best fit for Xperia Play gaming on the tube/subway/commuting has to be Metal Slug games for Neo Geo. They are great!
