Someone with development knowledge please help the Retroarch team fix Xperia Play! - Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi guys, I'm sure as Xperia Play users you're probably big into emulators, and if you're into those then you probably know about Retroarch. Retroarch Xperia Play support has been broken for several updates now and the team behind it needs help.
I was halfway through RE Nemesis, which ran amazingly on the Play, when I lost support. It hurts!
They need someone with development knowledge to help them out. If I had that knowledge I would do it myself, but the best I can do to help is come from their forum to this Xperia Play community to reach out to another owner.
Somebody please sign up for the Libretro forum and help the team fix Xperia Play support. One of the devs said that "What we need is ONE single developer who happens to own this thing (Xperia Play) that can go through the commits and tell us EXACTLY at what commit Xperia Play controls stopped working."
I cannot post a link due to my new membership, but just google "Libretro Boards"
Do us all a big favor! Thank you!
I am in no way affiliated with Retroarch, I just want it to bloody work on my Play. It's a great emulator and I've used it on my PC, WII, and Play.

I support this, this is the only emu that has UmJammer Lammy and Parappa working flawlessly, and the updates killed that So having to use an older build is the only way sadly.. Unfortunatly im not a dev so i cant help them ><

Yeah, it's odd, R12 (the last working one) refuses to install properly on my system from the APK, so it's new version or nothing.
Someone help Retroarch!

I think this is the best emulator for Xperia Play because you can play psx games in high resolution without lag while other emulators lag in high resolution. Only problem is the broken touchpad that goes crazy.
Last version from the play store works really good if u map buttons manually except for the touchpad. Someone please help them to fix this amazing emulator with the broken touchpad, we need it for our play, we have amazing developers im sure it wont be difficult for someone to fix it ... thanks

MC4 I like it

Hello, did the touchpad being fixed in newest versions? Coz it looks like mine its still going crazy

Donated an Xperia Play to the team, hopefully they'll have this **** sorted out soon.

[GAME] Experiment13 - Fun new game off the Xperia X2

Just wanted to let you guys know that the nice Experiment13 game delivered with the Xperia X2 runs fine on our HD and can be downloaded here (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=4979886&postcount=182), thanks to Ganondolf!
The only thing not working is the g-sensor support - but it's not necessary for the game to be played...
Just been playing it! At last! A decent Blackstone game!With the exception of the glitchy Extract and Need for Speed, the only games I ever found had the graphical awesomeness of Minesweeper 95.
Yeeha! Thanks Sony
I HATE rapidshare!!!
I would love to try this game out, and a couple of ROMs for that matter, but bloody Rapidshare tells me "This file can only be downloaded by becoming a Premium member"!!
God I hate them - I have been trying at different times of the day all week to get a download slot for various different ROMs, but to no avail.
Can anyone who has managed to get it either email it to me or post to a decent server, and turn my in to a
Thx

Its got some panel stuff in it too. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=4982046&postcount=244
I think this is better than Xtrakt. This is best Blackstone game so far
Game is amazing. There are missing such games: forcing to thinking a bit but still with up-to-date gfx.
Do you get vibrations and G-sensor working with this game? There are settings but doesn't work for me.

This is bloody brilliant. Best game on the HD yet. Now if we could get the g-sensor working it would be even better.
Cheers for the heads up MAMeingast

I'm pretty sure it's a driver related issue... The game comes from a completely different device from a different manufacturer. The g-sensor in the Xperia is probably in no way related to the ones we have in our HDs and is driven by a totally different driver. And since we don't have that driver on our devices, the game can't access the g-sensor data. But I have no clue how this could be fixed... I guess some genius would have to write a "fake" driver that translates the HD's g-sensor data to the interface the game wants... (I hope this makes sense... As said, I'm no expert and this is just the way I interpret the problem)
Excellent game - thank you.
Great work MAMeingast.
Working purfect on my HD.
Just a shame that the g-sensor dont work but still very playable.
I wonder why games like these are made for other devices & not the HD.
Also it would be nice if the Sony Ericsson logo could be changed to make it more HTC'ish....
Blooming Marvelous!!! By far the best game I've tried on the HD yet . I agree that the icing on the cake would be to get g-sensor. Now that would be perfect!!
Thank you so much. This game is really cool and pretty. "It's strange to have a sony ericsson logo on a Touch HD .... xD".
Thanks you again!
I'm in 4,5 level.Why i can't go to next level?
This game is AMAZINGGGG!! Thanks!!!

[Q] Performance of Emulators

Moderators please move this thread if it is in the inappropriate place . I couldn't decide where it should be so I decided to put in general just to be safe.
As the topics suggests I would like to know the performance of various emulators for Android such as PSX4droid, NDS4droid, Tigerlabs, gba4droid etc. on the Samsung Galaxy SII. If anyone has tried any type of emulator made for android please post your opinions and evaluations below regarding its perfomance, quality, FPSetc below.
Okay Guys Confirmed Emulators working with full speed on the Samsung Galaxy SII
FPSe
n64oid
SNESoid
GameBoid
More coming soon according to developers........
FPSE (psx emulator) - Full Speed with sound. Played Crash bandicoot, and final fantasy 9
n64oid - no lag in mario kart, ocarina of time, golden eye (sound lags at loading sometimes but i think it's a defect in the emulator)

Its not on the market anymore.
But if you search google for n64oid , you will prob find an apk and then stick that on your phones storage and install.
I dont have it so i don't know where to find it, but if you google you will definatly find it.
btw has anyone tried the sega emulator that went out of development a few months ago on the sg2? How is the emulation on that?
Thanks, I've managed to get N64oid but now struggling to find a good website to download the ROMs, anyone got any good suggestions?

Try use FPSe emulator, it's much better than Psx4Doid. Here are some videos showing how FPSe works on SGSII .

(I can't use url cause i'm a new member on this forum and when i'm trying to do this i'm getting error)
Psx4Droid sucks, FPSe is really much more productivity.
PSX4droid isn't compatible with the SGS2, and some other high-end advices. Doesn't work with the Optimus 2x either. You can keep an eye on his site (http://www.zodttd.com/) and wait for the update he's "making."
Is it really necessary to have that enourmous ugly image in your signature?

I think I've heard a few other people having that same problem with CM7.
Maybe you should ask this in the CM7 thread, the chance of a correct and usable answer will be bigger.

Touchpads don't work in CDMA Plays. Wait until they fix them in your version.
Okay thanks!

[SOLVED!] How to get Half Life Quake mod working on any phone (use button fix)

Dear XDA Developers,
I have searched everywhere looking for a way to get this Half Life Quake port working on my Xperia Play. So far out of the few Quake android ports. Ql4A is the only one that runs it, and it doesn't let press buttons and there is no use item. The other ports don't works as well, so I recommend using Ql4A. Has anyone found a way to get it working or found an alternative Quake port that is able to run the game with use button working? Is there a Xperia Play optimized Quake port that can run this? Please help, I want to play Half LIfe so bad!
I know its possible because of this.
Please help!
Here is the source for the ported Half Life Quake game that includes the Quake Half Life data
PLEASE HELP!
Ok, i finally figured it out by myself. (thanks for the help guys)
Heres what you do:
Edit in config.cfg buttons, and it just to be sure to root of game (\Quake) and all roots of mods (\Quake\hl).
-It's important to set "usebutton" in Config.cfg, there's no way, how you can set it in game; I set it on JOY1, it's my joystick button, and I advice to you, to set primary and secondary fire too, I set it on q and r, it's my softkeys (that two under display, depends on your device, you can't found it in game controls settings).
Config is opened as text
One more thing, does anyone have this file or this file.
Basically the file from this post here:
sisah it seems like you updated this mod from the first link you gave on this forum? People give this link on youtube for your HL psp mod:
http://files.filefront.com/hlzip/;12088502;/filein
it's bigger in size (339 MB ) and it's better!
This is really amazing work; I don't know how you got all these half life models and maps to work with Kurok.....you even have the flashlight working, and the use button for using the health and armor chargers and doors. Crouching also works for the most part with the select button. And secondary fire! You're very good at quakeC. great work
One question, why do the models seems like jelly? They don't have a perfectly solid shape

I'm going to try to create a tutorial with all this stuff and a working config.cfg file for you noobs out there, I might even create a special app just for this if people can give me these files
couldent you do this???:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XJJAMXSfZSc
With that you can even map buttons?
The problem with that is its extremely laggy...

I never figured it out. But if you download quake touch and select the folder where you keep the half life mod files and then set the menu button as something you can do it. Email the Quake Touch developer who is really helpful if you can't figure out how to set the button
