I am thinking about getting the Nexus 7 coming from the iPad mini. I have quite a collection of games and was particularly wondering if the new Nexus performs well with that PPSSPP emulator? Will I be happy with the performance for a lot of games or is the Nexus too slow?
I've been using drastic ds on mine for ds games and they are running without any hitches. Not tried any psp games on it yet though.

You ask if the nexus will be too slow, yet you're coming from an iPad mini...
Of course they will run great! I've tried NES, SNES, GBA, DS, and have heard a out PSX and PSP emulators running flawlessly.

Some games run perfectly (Corpse Party, VC 2, Patapoon), but most are still kinda slow (Crisis Core, Fate/Extra, Dangaronpa framebuffered to CPU, etc.). PPSSPP still have a long way to go it seems, or the Nexus 7 2013 simply isn´t powerful enough.
But Drastic DS is perfect for every single DS game I´ve tried so far.

I can vouch that the PSX, Super Nintendo and Nintendo 64 emulators work great!! Especially the Playstation. There are a few games that dont work correctly on the 64 (Perfect Dark), but both Zelda games and Super Mario 64 work flawlessly.

Has anyone tried the new PS1 emu yet? The word generally is that it is miles ahead of psx4droid, however i dont have a G2/desire z yet. Im looking at getting this phone as my next purchase.
Yes, ofcourse. It is way much better than psx4droid! There is a thread on xda discussing FPse!
trust me its a hell lot better than psx, fpse is so much cooler and it runs a lot smoother than psx

The word would be correct. Just don't confuse savestates with loadstates. That made me lose about 4 hours of FFVII when I was drunk. Its badass though. I went online and found a FFVII savegame and put it on my SD, fpse read it just fine and I was back in business.

Was using it back in my WinMo days, now I'm using it on the DZ and I love it, the hardware keyboard makes all the difference.
Runs nice and smooth (I play without sound, though, personal preference).
FPSE is ok. a lot of the games that work on psx4droid, dont on FPSE, which can get quite annoying.
But the frame rate and the over all smoothness is better on FPSE.
AND if you get sixaxis pair tool from the market, you can play the games with a ps3 controller (FPSE)! The controller doesnt work however on psx4droid.
(Just a little input)

Hello all,
what games (or other apps) would you recommend to show off the superb graphics and processor capabilities of the Nexus 7?
Is there anything that is optimized for the Nexus 7 screen and processors?
Thank you all for your suggestions!
Dead Trigger works very well for me. Puddle also works for the Tegra 3 optimization
here's the Free version thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1811437
i've posted there already.
here's additional ones that are not free:
Asphalt 7
Samurai II: Vengeance
Riptide GP
Sprinkle
ShadowGun THD
World of Goo
Jelly Defense
REAL RACING 2 currently 99c! Definitely great game.
Here's another,
Dark meadow, point and click adventure
Take up about 1.37GB though

I think Riptide GP, a game with Tegra enhancements, is impressive and is easy to hand over to anyone and have them get into it right away.
For apps, I guess Google Earth would knock Grandma's socks off .
Cs portable and whale trail. These are not tegra optimized, but there is no doubt that they look great. I am addicted to cs portable and would love to know what drugs the devs of whale trail where on when they created that gane. Must of been shrooms or sumin.

Some advice from me would be to stay away from gameloft for now. They have a funny way of creating games. Dont get me wrong there games are great but there just not that good on our nexus 7. If you are gong to buy a gameloft game make sure you read the description to see if its tegra 3 optimized or any mention of the nexus 7. If not then dont buy the game. The only acception i can give you is modern combat 3 and nova 3. Nova 3 is a bit so so, while mc3 plays great.
Dont get asphalt 7 until you see a update in the play store. Right now it is on version 1.0.0. I have it myself and it is not optimized the way it should be (ie: bad graphics and low frame rate).
Just be careful as to what you buy as the nexus is new device and you can very easily be disapointed as many games need to b updted.

Hi there, for a while now I thought the 'oid' series had the best emulators, like N64oid, GBCoid, Genesoid, etc...
I guess I thought they were the best because they were the first I've come across. But after recently browsing the market I've discovered that their are other variations of these already existing emulators, maupen64 & NES.EMU being 2 examples. Through little research I found that the 'oid' series usually have the best game compatibility, but yet while comparing them to similar apps in the store I discovered other emulators include interesting features such as new play, multi touch, and minor things of that nature...Especially PS1 emulators, there's like 3 of them! FPSE, EPSXE, I think PSX4DROID is still around? IDK.
My question (s) to you all is what game emulator do you like the best, and why.
Like maybe list the pros & cons and give your final decision on which you like the best?

hello,
i have been using xperia play for over an year now....i have tried almost all emulator related stuff that is available on market....i used psxperia(and fpse for some games). epsxe: well good graphics OpenGL support but too laggy on GB....psx4droid : too laggy and unplayble, So fpse is best as its new version supports touchpad on GB so u dont really need Psxperia conversion...and if u have ICS and overclocking enabled...it is best option for me..... and for nitendo 64......i have tried mupen64, n64droid and emu.n64....mupen64 supports touchpad that is good for some games but the performance is far behind n64oid....emu.n64 is average, a little lag but less supportability .....So if u have n64oid and you are using ICS 4.0.4 stock by markphyton with custom kernal .....it supports touch pad and is fastest available on market yet........so n64oid is best choice with ICS -nothing better......and talking about other emulators....u can use any since they work almost same ....no big issue!
thankyou and sorry for my bad english
Thanks for the input.
I'm on GB so I guess I'll stick with N64OID & FPSE. I am a little disappointed that N64oid does not support touch pads tho...

SuperN64 (N64 Emulator) is what you're looking for
Just watch out it sometimes prompts you to download applications, so make sure you read all the pop up windows. Otherwise compatibility and smoothness are awesome! Overall good emulator
Use My Boy! Free - GBA Emulator for gbc/gba. You will need to find the bios for this though.
I'm sorry I can't post the direct links because I'm new here and probably my last post since the captchas are annoying lol

My personal chart:
N64:
Super N64 (tried Super Mario 64 and Smash Bros both flawlessy)
Mupen64Plus AE (a bit outdated but will be ported to OUYA in near future so we can expect a better optimization for tegra devices, to be IMHO monitored)
GBA:
GBA.Emu (Compatible even with golden sun 1/2 music tracks, have a problem with mario advance 4 music otherwise i'd say perfect).
My Boy!
Gameboid (Not available on market anymore)
PSX:
epsxe (Tried only Tekken 3 and it's perfect).
NDS:
NDS4Droid (Around 30-50% speed but I'd say good compatibility).
DSoid (Less compatible but with some games emulated up to 80-90% speed. Games like FF XII Revenant Wings and Fire Emblem don't work correctly).
SNES:
SuperGNES
Snesoid (No more available on market)
PSP:
PPSSPP (No other alternatives but to be an early version it's IMHO very good).
Awesome guys I appreciate the help.

I'd recommend FPSE for PSX and for NDS, NDS4Droid had pretty much been abandoned.
Tiger arcade for mame. Happy bay is also a sort of jack of all trades, its awesome

I just started playing with SuperGNES. It is a very well made emulator. Downloads coverart and lots of neat features. Scans your storage automatically. Very easy to use. Probably the best emulator I've ever used.
I also do PSX using FPse but it is a crap shoot. Games play great mostly but the interface is clumsy and require lots of tweaking each time. Some settings don't seem to want to stick after a restart. OpenGL plugin makes games look very good though. I'm currently mid way through FF7. Games play full speed in normal mode and a about 40-60fps using OpenGL.
Those really are my two consoles I really like to emulate.
I also use a Moga controller. I also have a PSx tethered (4.2.1 screwed up sixaxis wireless support afaik).

Way to go guys, you just recommended the same exact emulator, but one is riddled with adware and downloads, not to mention the author probably stole the source code and is profiting off of it without the permission of the guy who actually ported it. (Paul Lamb, paulscode.com and author of Mupen64plus) Also, Mupen64 Plus is NOT outdated. He simply hasn't pushed the latest updates to the Play Store yet. Version 2.0 is coming out soon with multiplayer support (Multiple controllers on one device) and a nice cheat system. You can try some bleeding edge builds here. - http://www.paulscode.com/forum/index.php?topic=723.0
Plays great and the interface is much better. Please don't support those assholes who take other people's work for a quick buck.
Yup, there are recent builds of mupen64 - ad free and fully open source. I'd say the games run almost as well as n64oid, but I like it better because of its great gamepad support.
Hi everyone.
On my Note 2, I have NES, SNES, N64, and PS1 working very smoothly. On my new Nexus 7 (2nd generation), I haven't been able to get N64 working smoothly.
Does anyone have a 64 emulator installed on your new Nexus 7? If so, which one do you use and did you make any configuration changes?
Thanks!

Thanks for the help! I was able to get Mario Kart working much better. I did notice that the games play much better on the tablet, compared to when I use HDMI out. When I use the Slimport adapter and try to play on the TV, it is a little bit more laggier. And that is the case with the entire tablet, not just emulated games. Anyone run into that issue?
I got the Nexus 7 so I could use two six axis controllers and play all the old games on a TV... but for some reason, the Note 2 handles games better.

Personally, I happened to try superN64 playing smash bros, and for what its worth, I think the older N64oid app just functions better.
