Suggestions on Games, ROMs, Memory - Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Guys I would like to know Which is the best setup for games where we have plenty of memory.
Also some suggestion on Good games or emulators which have advantage of our gamepad.
Two years back I used to have an ext partition on my LG optimus one. It had internal memory of about 150 mb and I was having a One gb partition.
Thanks.

the best roms for gaming are all the Sony's gingerbread based: you can take a look to nxt light edition by krisdee or another of that kind.
ics or jb are not good at all for gaming, firstly because apps on android 4.0+ need more ram than gb roms, and secondly because touchpads cause some lags on games.
all gameloft games are xperia play optimized (or almost), and good emulators are fpse and epsxe for psx.
you can view others apps from xperia play games launcher lol

[Q] gamepad on Roms

Which rom work if the xperia gamepads? i want to better optimize my xperia because it keep lagging on some games like aftermatch and dungeon defenders, i think someone should try to make a Rom for Gamers because it worthless to have a xperia if you can use the gamepad or play just low-resource games.
Sorry any bad english and thanks.
The stock rom works perfectly fine for me, but I use DooMKerneL provided by DooMLoRD. That kernel provides a great boost in speed, and rooting your phone then removing the useless preinstalled apps from your phone. Doing both these things significantly reduces lag

[Q] Up coming gaming?

I had just saw N.O.V.A 3 trailer for iso and android, I would really wish to play that game on my xperia arc s if it's out, However... my arc s which is running "Stock ics with all the bloatware remove" could bearly even support modern combat 3 without heavy lags every few sec...
So share your gaming experience on any 2011 xperia phones, were you able to enjoy any game without any lags? stock rom or custom? etc etc...

hey, i have 8.2 and v22 aswell, but mc3 sometimes doesnt respond, i get those options force close and wait, do you have those problems?
Use stock kernel for gaming and you'll have no problems. Look at this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nCK0dvRbTHI i had this problem and the same as yours with mc3, on stock kernel everything is okay...
GTA 3
After upgrading my Xperia ARC to ICS 4.0.4 its impossible to play GTA 3. It freezes and its very laggy. On 2.3.4 it Worked great. Any ideas what's wrong ?
gaming sucks in ICS..thats why sony stopped working on ICS for xperia play..
ISO is great OS. I think iOS is better, isn't it?

Is the hardware acceleration in ICS helping or isn't it?

Well i have not played much memory intense games. But im crazy about temple run and its quite smooth in my ARC with JJ 3.1 custom rom/ Arc Night Kernel
Its causing problems with some games. Some run, others donĀ“t.
i think GB will be a lot better than ICS for games i used ICS and had a lot force closes in games...like n.o.v.a. 3 and order & chaos and i had 160 ram free!! then i changed to stock GB first and i saw differences...a lot faster !! no force closes! after this i unlocked my bootloader and installed custom ROM arconium 8.2 and doomkernel...WOW! now my phone is great!!! i will give chance ICS but i will w8 when they will repair this rom beacuse now is not for me
sorry for my english;p
yes n.o.v.a 3, max payne, dead space, heavy gunner i play them and are good.... n.o.v.a 3 lags a little and have crashed 2-3 times. But u will check more problem when u connect it to hdmi and then play on lcd, etc.... even heavy gunner 3d crashes and force closes then. My phone's currently on 4.0.4 stock ics rooted .
My's has no error with nova 3, may lag at times but it's bearable unlike modern combat 3 which lag's is far worse... GTA 3 does lag too on ICS, reckless racing 2 crushes on some maps... But ICS should be a better software so issue like these will be solved but... =\

"Best" ROM for retro gaming?

I know this is a very subjective question, but I would like some input on which ROM you guys think is best for the "oid" emulators on this device? I imagine it to be something based on Gingerbread, with as little bloat so perhaps AOSP or CM7? Or is the stock experience fine for this use?
Many thanks!

If you just use emulators you can also try an ics rom.
Sorry for my bad English. It's not my native language.
on ics (if you find a smooth ics rom, that is) emulators should work fine. also on ics n64oid has analog support (which on gingerbread only mupen64plus has), and it's overall better than mupen64plus on gingerbread in speed and it runs animal forest quite well; dunno for the rest though. on the psx front, fpse has analog support on ics, while on gingerbread only psxperia gives you analog support on psx games and of course there are not many analog controlled games supported by psxperia (soul reaver and mgs don't work, for example).
the other 100% digital controlled emulators should be exactly the same as on gingerbread. thing is, i tried what seems to be the best ics rom to date and it was quite laggy. maybe you'll find a good one for you, as you don't need good gamepad compatibility on android games.
either way, this device is the absolute best mobile emulating machine. even on gingerbread you don't really lose anything. there are just a handful of analog controlled psx games which are not supported by psxperia/mupen64plus, and they play perfectly with the dpad on fpse/n64oid.
therefore, your choice. if you really care about analog control on games you can't play as you wish on gingerbread, look for a smooth ics rom. if you don't care, i suggest trueancestor 2.3.7, as it gives you so much free memory.
Ok thanks ill check it out.

Hi,
I'm only play retro games in my xperia play too. That's the reason why I bought one... At this moment I'm using CM9 RC2, an ICS rom, and the emulators run well.... I'm playing zelda ocarina of time with the lastest n64oid version, touchpads works nice.... very similar as the joystick... Link can run and walk :victory: things you couldn't do with the D-pads.
The snes emulator that works in the ICS roms is, SNESDroid... the SNesoid didn't worked
Other emulators that worked:
GB color: GBCoid
GBA: GameBoid (you need a bios, tell me if you don't have one :highfive
NES: Nesoid
Hope this help you.
Cheers :good:
I suggest True Ancestor ROM too, always free RAM and bloatware removed. It offers great performance in N64oid compared with others ROM's, the mainly reason I use my Xperia Play

I got better performance using N64oid on a ICS ROM (AOKP to be more specfic) and the touchpads work great..
i.e. yoshi's story was skipping on True Ancestor, but ran flawless on AOKP.
EDIT:
The emu's I'm using (has worked for every game i have thrown at each of them)
FPSE - PSX -touchpads on ICS
GBA.emu - GBA
GBC.emu - GBC
MD.emu - MegaDrive
N64oid - N64 -touchpads on ICS
NES.emu - NES
Snes9x EX - SNES
All work with xplay controls on AOKP

Interesting, I quite like aokp too. Are there any features that don't work on ics roms on this device? Things like FM radio don't bother me, but for example data would be needed .

My experience on CM9 was that the OS was smoother than the stock Gingerbread but the emulator's performance was not as good. I could not have full speed with frameskip 0 on Snesoid or Gameboid and a clean sound at the same time. Plus the screen was all pixelized. Maybe AOKP performs better than CM9 ?
Now I'm on CM7, it is fast, there is plenty of free internal memory but I have those issues:
- bad battery life
- no proximity sensor
- some games don't work with the touchpads
I'm wondering if I should try TrueAncestor.
I think you should. There are always psxperia and mupen64plus for touchpads. At least they work with the majority of games that absolutely need touchpads
You can always install cupcake on your phone and get the "retro" games from the android market

ics can't Operation xperia play games

i was install ics on xperia play and i can't operate any games like 9mm or nfs hot pursuit
ICS isn't for gaming. If you want best gaming performance I suggest you to roll back to GB.

what do you mean "operate"? do you mean they don't load or touchpads don't work? or what?

[Q] anyone manage Angry Birds Go to run on Play?

Hi, anyone manage to play this on Xperia Play?
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.rovio.angrybirdsgo
It is free on market, but game need 195MB on internal memory. I succesfully install it but when i run it, it show me loading picture, and when music start playing, it kicks me out to homescreen.
I'm on ICS rom (Neo2Play) and on lupus ics/gb 480p kernel
If someone played it, please state your rom/kernel
Sent from my R800i using xda app-developers app
I played it using another method
There are some games around the websites that you can put the data in sd card
But the game was very laggy because it beeds 512 mg ram
It closes in all of the ics roms but it works very awful in stock gb(too many lags. I think using swap can reduce the lags)

I can make space to install it in /data, but it always kick me to home screen due lack of free RAM.
I was just wondering is it working at all in some lite GB (or JB) ROM.
I installed it today on Gin2Kittkat, switched in Ram Manager to heavy gaming and it closed after loading. Then I copied swap script to init.d, reboot and the game run normally. Graphics on Xplay is much worse than official screenshots, but it is playable and with only little lags. And it "support" Xperia Play gamepad - if you choose touch controls then you can turn with touchpads.
