[Q] N64oid on the EVO?

Just out of curiosity, has anyone tried the n64oid app on their EVO? And if so how well does it preform? I am wanting to know before I buy the app.
Thanks!

Runs fine for me.....

Runs fine for me, just a lil sound lag, but its expected.

Decent for me on LOZ:OOT. Bit laggy though.

Ive used it, but quite laggy on the game i was playing, Diddy Kong Racing. It will get better tho

I just downloaded it, and EVERY rom i've downloaded on the EVO for n64oid is Super laggy, unplayable. Anyone know why?

ive had the same problem on my evo, except for mario 64 and harvest moon 64, but otherwise all the other roms are so laggy i can barely play them, even though some of the same roms i've seen youtube videos of them running perfectly. same question as above; anybody know why?

is there the option of changing the framerate? the higher the frame rate, the smoother the game, but it takes a heavy toll on your battery, you'll be best to play while tethered to the wall via charger cable

I just bought this app as well. Downloaded Goldeneye, Mario, and Mario Kart. All games are extremely laggy. Mario kart is playable, but the on screen timer takes about 3 seconds for every second in real time. Goldeneye, which I was really looking forward to, wont even load past the pre-game animated video. Very disappointing.

I changed the frame rate in mario kart, it worked okay, but still really laggy. Goldeneye and NFL Blitz were terrible no matter what the framerate!! I thought EVOs were fast?!!! What's going on?

Our processors are fast, our GPUs are outdated though. All the cool people run Adreno 205, we're stuck at 200.
Plus, as someone noted, it'll get better. There's a lot of stuff for the developer to work out to make the programming as efficient as possible so we don't experience so much lag. If you recall, it took the guy who did SNESoid several months before he could even get Super Mario RPG to work, and even so there's still enhancements being made to make it more playable.
patience...or buy a phone with better hardware. your choice.

Its not our phone, the dev clearly states at the bottom that the app should be considered an Alpha as he has so many performance updates to push thru to get it working close to perfect on most high end phones. Just give it time.

Yes, the results posted here are actually typical of most phones right now. The Evo does have a slightly lower GPU, but that actually doesn't matter with these emulators. Someone explained that unless the emulator was using openGL, which it apparently isn't, it shouldn't matter. I don't know, I just read that.
I have tested it on two roms. Myns 2.2 RSL5, and UltimateDroid 2.5. Both with kernels that support overclocking. On the sense rom, I have to download setcpu and set it to performance. On UD, I can set it in the settings. I overclock to 1.19GHZ.
In the app I have found it doesn't really matter if sound is checked on or off. Turning up the frameskips seemed to help. My results so far are the following games play well:
Mario 64 (flawless)
Mario Kart 64 (just a little bit laggy, but very enjoyable)
Star Fox 64 (menus and videos are very choppy, but in game it's super smooth and definately worth the download)
If for nothing more than these 3 games, this was well worth $6. I would have gladly bought these for $2 each if there were available as standalones somewhere.
That being said, the developer is known for updating all the time. Star Fox is running much more smoothly now than it was when the app first was released, so already I have seen a compatibilty increase.
Expect to continue to see updates, and as they do, more games will be available.
Now, if ANYONE has some complaint about the $6 they paid, go complain somewhere else. We don't want to hear it.

Runs like bunk on the evo because of the adreno 200.
Just ran it on an epic and it works perfect with the almighty powervr. (although the rest of the phone sucks)

It has potential so I bought it. I just want to play Zelda and Mario Kart. I can't wait until the Dreamcast emulator comes out so I can play Shenmue.

if you install CM7 and over clock to 1.1ghz it runs a lot better.

Why is Let's Golf 3 so freaking laggy?

I like this game but I always have to put up with crappy framerate, lag spikes and unresponsive controls sometimes too.
Today the game was running much worse than usual, so I decided to watch some youtube videos to see if the game runs so bad on other devices too, and from the videos I watched, it seems the game runs perfectly on the Xperia Play and on the Xperia Mini too.
What could be the reason for this crazy laggyness on this device? Ok, the game is playable but honestly, it runs like ****.
I think there is something wrong with certain apps in the market, it downloads an apk that's totally unoptimized for this device, and I noticed the same thing happening with another Gameloft game, Asphalt 6, the version I bought from the market ran like complete and utter **** and was unplayable, then I installed a random cracked one I found with google, and not only it looked better (with reflection on the car and everything), it also ran 100% smooth. I still haven't bothered to ask for a refund (I don't know if it's even possible, but anyway I don't really care for .79€ that much) since the downloaded version runs perfectly, I'll just keep that one.
What do you think is wrong with this stuff?

Please tell us what firmware, rom and kernel are you using?
These details are required to sort out every problem!

N64 Emulator Lag

Hey all! I just got my S3 last week and it's my first Android phone. I'm trying to run an N64 emulator (Mupen64Plus) and it's pretty laggy, especially when sound is enabled. I've seen and posts about users running N64 games just fine on their S3's, so I'm not sure what the issue is. If anyone has any suggestions for getting my phone to play N64 games smoothly, I'm all ears. Btw, I haven't rooted or done anything fancy and don't plan to in the near future.
Some info: I ran the Quadrant Standard benchmark and got 5392. Generally, I'm using about 750/1560 MB or RAM (before running the emulator). I've run a process monitor that says nothing else is taking more than 2% of the cpu, except for the "System," which takes <10%. In all, it looks like not much is bogging the system down, so I'm really not sure why this app is having trouble. Are there other comparable high-end android games I should test my phone against? Thanks, guys.

An S3 and the T999 have completely different hardware specs. Its uses the same screen, battery, and case, but thats about it. The S3 has a quad core, we have a dual core. Try another n64 app or a different site for getting rome. Also, make sure you place your roms on internal storage, if you're running a lower class SD Card.

This sounds like an app problem. ..try using a different emulator. Mess with the settings even. My emulator runs fine

You're asking a tiny handheld device that is designed to be a PHONE to do the things a device designed to be GAMING CONSOLE to do.
I'm just saying....
There may be other emulators that will do better on your particular phone.
It's not an alien spaceship you know.

Im pretty sure the only app that doesnt lag is N64oid try that. Runs perfectly for me

[Q] Phone started to LAG in games (Extremly)

(English is not my native language)
My phone started to LAG in games.
I have ALLVIEW P5 QUAD, and i was fascinated of performance/price ratio. After a 2 months, I overclocked him. Then i got double performance. I Played Real Racing 3 with no lag, Dead Trigger 1-2, Modern Combat 4-5, Real Boxing and other games also with no lag.
Then after a year using phone, I installed SIMCITY BuildIt, and played it abot 5 days normally, but now this and other games lag extremly.
If I click on item to collect it, game freezes for 10 sec. Game begins unplayable.
Same situation is in other games like Megapolis, CarX ...
I tried;
* Overclocking to MAX: noFrilsCPU controll. No success.
* Installing Greenify. No success.
*I did Hard reset. No succes.
*Installed new update from Allview.(install update form SD card) Update to 4.2.1. No success.
*Root new update and overclock it. Again, no success.
*Used Seeder. Again same.
*Format SD card and phone memory. ...
Only thing I have not did is installing custom ROM.
Dont know where is the problem.
Help!

This is the LG g4 thread?

I have the same situation, I played SimCity Buildit without any issues until I received Marshmallow update. It started to lag extremely in all games. I did a factory reset and now it's less laggy (but still...) fun fact, my three year old nexus 10, which has a dual core processor and only 1 GB of available RAM just flies through this game...

Yes I got the same issue when I’m playing Line Ranger
My 4years old phone is still running smooth for this game but when I updated the V20C to 6.0, it is extremely lag like hell
How can I downgrade the firmware back to 5?

Tab S 8.4( SM-T700 ) is very slow

Hi guys,
I've been having this tablet since almost 5 years, at the beginning it was very fast. Fast forward a few years I noticed it has slowed down a lot ( very laggy when playing game like it was lack of ram), it's very hard to navigate on chrome on certain websites, it's so slow that I just stop using it sometimes. I was looking forward for the Tab S3 but it's out of my budget right now. I've tried to format the tablet twice with no success at all. I have developer mode enabled. I've tried to put the animation time down to 0.5x, it hasn't change anything at all. I was wondering if there's anything I could do before it joins the graveyard. I love Samsung products, I'm using a S9 right now and I have the galaxy gear S3 as well but this tablet is killing me.
Thanks

Have you tried a factory reset? deleting all cache? removing unneeded apps? check to see how much ram is being used directly after reboot to see if some apps that are loading can be removed and loaded only when needed?
There are a lot of things that can cause this. I'm running los Nougat on mine and it's perfectly fine, no issues, very responsive.
One thing I'd suggest is don't use Chrome. It uses a ton of memory. I'd suggest switching to los Jelly browser, it's very bare bones, as a browser on a tablet should be.

Hi,
I did try a factory reset along with deleting the caches, I have to take a look into my apps though, I have maybe 800-1gb of ram free when rebooting. I use Nova Launcher hence I pretty much have the same setup than on my cellphone. By slow I mean by example when playing 8 pool, when I hit the ball it move slowly exactly like the tablet would ram. I recl seeing that on my old PC back in the time when I was lack of ram, lol.

I have the same tablet as well, perhaps I shall try a factor reset one day.
It's hard to believe newer tablets will run faster, while the specs aren't that significantly higher. Not much more ram, processor not much faster.
It's almost as if they've deliberately slow down the device as it gets old (like that Apple scandal a while back), but I'm sure that's not the case here, as XDA guys would have dug out that dirt pretty quickly.
I shall try out a reset, and see if it's any better. My last resort will be to replace the battery, I've ebayed one a while back, but never gotten to use it yet.
I will try out a different browser too. I do agree Chrome has gotten quite fat lately. Looking at the Chrome task manager on the desktop reveals some scary amounts of memory used.

Removing the sd card helped me a lot

Removing SD? Wth? If that's the solution, it can go as well to the garbage.

Same here, I just getting this second hand Tablet 2 weeks ago. The Tab is in 99% perfect condition. All running good. It was running stock 6.0.1 MM. Then when i'm trying to swipe the home screen, it's lag and the lag is very noticeable. Then, I'm thinking "Why is this device very slow even they have a high spec?". This is the first time i use this tablet. The reason why i bought a second hand is because, i can't afford Galaxy Tab S2 or Tab S3 and i'm such a poor guy so the Tab S 8.4 is enough for me ?. But, i know how to tweak it better so it makes the CPU awake like before they come. That day i downgraded the Tab to Stock Kitkat 4.4.2 and i never forget to root it. After that, installing eRobot rom v.3.1 Stock Kitkat and also flashed Skyhigh Kernel which is gives you a powerful control of device CPU/GPU. After finishing the setup. and setting up the Skyhigh Kernel(Overclocking CPU/GPU) then reboot. After rebooting, my Tablet come to fresh again and it fresh like new ?. The CPU comes awake and performance always on. But, the powersaving can't really do anything and the battery may drain faster if you're a heavy user. Thank goodness there is still people developing the Kernel. I feel better now. I'm using this Tablet mostly for editing pictures, search information, and listening to music

I also bought it second hand but in my case it is to watch Netflix series on hd with that magnificent amoled and the truth is that I am very happy once I have changed the battery. I'm on android 6 official. The only solution for the tablet to run well in official marshmallow is using the disable package that makes it very usable, a real improvement but for my use the battery lasts 20% more without freezing anything from Samsung, this costs to understand for me but it is like this. For multimedia this tablet is spectacular and that is my use, especially thanks to the 16 10 format, it is ideal. The S4 I do not like, it's very big and very expensive. Long life tab S of 8.4 hahaha ???
