Games that work well with N64oid

The Nintendo 64 emulator N64oid was released a couple of days ago. Do you know any games that work well with it? So far, I've had best luck playing Super Mario 64.
Can anyone suggest more compatible games? Let's make a list
Cheers

I don't fancy paying £3.68 for it.

n64oid Game Compatible list
*** 1.1.4 is out and claims fixes for OoT ***
Collated list:
Working and appear playable so far
Working with issues
Not working/major issues
Super Mario 64 *Tested on 1.1.1 and 1.1.2* (got a 2 stars from first level, seemed very playable!)
Zelda Ocarina of Time *Tested on 1.1.1* (Works up till Market)
Zelda Majora's Mask (Works up till North Clock Town)
Lylat Wars *tested on 1.1.1* (flew around first level)
Super Smash Bros *tested on 1.1.1 and 1.1.2* (attacked and defeated link - laggy but working)
Mario Kart 64 *Tested on 1.1.1* (Raced around first circit - lagging but surprisingly working fairly well)
Diddy Kong Racing (first boss - couple of lag here and there but playable)
Pokemon Stadium 2 (started a battle - parts of screen weren't showing properly and c button up/down was inverted, forced close after +/- 5 min)
Perfect Dark *running on 1.1.1* (loaded intro but when going to select 'agent' crashed out')
Perfect Dark *running on 1.1.2* (loaded intro, but crashed at same point as previously - selecting agent)
Perfect Dark *running on 1.1.3* (loaded intro, and got in to the main game - slow though)
Pokemon Stadium 1 (loads intro without sound, then hangs)
Pokemon Snap (game load and all but the analog/dpad couldn't/wouldn't work - may be fixed on 1.1.2)
Goldeneye 007 *Tested on 1.1.1* (crashed out instantly)
Goldeneye 007 *tested on 1.1.2* (very laggy - crashes on intro video (have to skip it with start), glitches frequently, but loaded to Dam level... backgrounds missing though - too laggy to actually play)
Duke Nukem 3D (works pretty well)
Turok 2 (works quite well. Hard to control though)
Paper Mario (won't load)
Jet Force Gemini (closes after landing on the first planet)
Wave Race 64 (Loads up and can whizz around the first course)
Mortal Kombat Mythologies:Sub Zero (doesnt work. Screen is inverted)
Mortal Kombat Trilogy (Hangs sometimes)
Mortal Kombat 4 (Cant see most of the graphics)
Star wars episode 1 racer (can't see most of the graphic (just the higher part show up))
Donkey Kong 64 (Loads intro - crashes)
Banjo Kazooie (Lags)
Banjo Tooie (Lags)
Mystical Ninja (Lags)
Conker's Bad Fur Day (Does not load)
Ridge Racer 64 (textures messed up)
Snowboard Kids (only showed backgrounds)
Yoshi's Story (missing backgrounds and textures)
Star Wars Rogue Squadron (not starting up... never seen a blacker screen in my whole life)
Notes:
I've noticed sometimes the games just crash instantly when loading - but if you load another game first then go back in they seem to load up a bit better - this would explain why goldeneye crashed out when I tested on 1.1.1 and perfect dark did not...
Some games (obviously) work much better on other devices than the Desire - some games and comments above may have been tested on another device so may be a little slower or more problematic on a desire, if for example - tested on a xoom etc.
Some games can be improved (on the desire at least), by upping the frameskip to max - a good example of this is Super Mario 64.
A higher class SD card can improve performance.
Unzipping a game (if zipped) can also help improve performance.
There may also be differences between Euro/US games.

I didn't have much time to actually try them but...
I tried which worked:
Super Mario 64 (got a star from first level!)
Zelda Ocarina of Time (wandered around village)
Zelda Majora's Mask (loaded start screen up)
Lylat Wars (flew around)
Super Smash Bros (attacked Link)
Mario Kart 64 (loaded start screen up)
I tried which didn't seem to work:
Goldeneye 007 (crashed out instantly)
Perfect Dark (loaded intro but when going to select 'agent' crashed out')

If Goldeneye doesn't work, Perfect Dark won't work. Perfect Dark runs on a modified and upgraded Goldeneye engine that really pushed the N64 to the limit, even with the Jumper Pak.

Yeah but Perfect Dark loaded to the log in screen and Goldeneye didn't

Got to the first boss in diddy kong racing, couple of lag here and there but playable.
Started a game in pokemon stadium 2, started a battle (some part of the screen weren't showing properly and C button up/down was inverted) and it force closed after +/-5 min of playing
pokemon stadium 1, seen the intro, without sound, then hang.
Started pokemon snap, game load and all but the analog/dpad couldn't/wouldn't work..
played from a galaxy s i9000m
(oh, and just an idea, maybe we could put the list of working roms in the first post and keep it edited/updated?, just a though )
Keep up the good work!

updated #3 with a list for you
also I just noticed 1.1.2 is out and that may fix the up/down c button issue you mentioned

Thanks for the list! In my experience, most games don't work on the Desire, but the developer luckily updates N64oid every other day or so. Eventually we might be able to play most N64 games with it.
By the way, Duke Nukem 3D works pretty good

Zelda OoT closes on entering Castle Town. Anyone else getting this problem?
Turok 2 works quite well. Hard to control though
Paper Mario won't load.
Jet Force Gemini closes after landing on he first planet.
(Samsung Galaxy S)

I found a larger Goldeneye ROM which seemed to work (albeit slowly). In fact, only Super Mario 64 runs at a decent speed on my Desire. Does it make a difference which ROM I'm using, perhaps?

Mortal Kombat Mythologies:Sub Zero doesnt work. Screen is inverted.
Mortal Kombat Trilogy. Hangs sometimes
Mortal Kombat 4. Cant see most of the graphics.

Star wars episode 1 racer: can't see most of the graphic (just the higher part show up)

if goldeneye is not playable... why buy an emulator if the best game does not work... btw why has there never been a noticable successor to goldeneye (no i do not accept perfect dark)

goldeneye did actually load for me in 1.1.2 - got to the dam and moved about an inch - its progress!
I assume you don't count the Wii Goldeneye remake?

I got about half way through the first level on Goldeneye before I turned it off due to the poor frame rate. I'm hoping it'll run smoother on the Xperia Play, but in the meantime is there anything that can be done to improve frame rates? Does the ROM you use make any major difference? I'm using Oxygen 2.0.1 at the moment.

Honestly I thought the Wii version would be retarded but I now can say it's really good, at least for single player. The animations were smooth and I think it's the best shooter on Wii in many aspects. I don't even own a Wii. Rented the game while at my cousin's house. If you're looking for an exact remake, don't play the game. But if you want a similar game (and definitely more violent game), I say play it. I loved snapping the dude on the toilet's neck from the air duct lol
Don't bother with it for multiplayer. Split screen SUCKS. 2 weapons per person (plus the hat if you're Oddjob) and you can only pick up each others' weapons. And no voice chat plus stupid friend codes for online. definitely worth it for single player though.

Goldeneye actually runs full speed for me, as long as sound is disabled. The annoying part is the controls... need to find a wiimote.
This is on a SGS Vibrant, though, can't speak for the desire.

FPSE.. best settings?? Help please if you know the answer.

So, I love my xperia play... I love the built in playstation emulator as well.. however as you all know, the native emulator doesn't support all ps1 titles (although using the software rendering trick, it does support a LOT ) ... anyway, I've resorted to using PSX4Droid V 1.12 for the games that do not run on PS Pocket, but PSX4Droid is more or less laggy at times, and although games are playable, it grates on my last nerve to the point where I don't even want to play them. (Yeah, that sounds dumb, but that's just me.. ) So after doing some reading on the web and these forums, I've found that most people use FPSE, and find it to run games very nicely. I bought the emulator from the playstore, and I've got it up and running to the best settings that I could get. Here's the thing though... It lags almost worse than PSX4Droid does if I have it set on the best graphic settings... (Framelimiter, frameskip, skip fix, fast draw, screen filtering, enhanced 3D rendering, Hardware acceleration)
I've read that turning off screen filtering helps it to run faster, I've tried this but my graphics kinda suck =/ ... perhaps its just laggy on the games I'm running??? FF7, FF8, FF9, and Chrono Cross...
Ideas? Suggestions?? They're welcome

After using psx4droid (version 2) to play FFVIII on my NOOK Tablet, I switched over to playing on the Xperia Play and converted my save files to FPse.
The video settings I use on FPse for FFVIII:
-Framelimiter
-Fastdraw
I get a pretty consistent 50-60 FPS until I get to the world map then it drops to around 45 FPS. Still very playable.
*Side note: use Spusync to improve your sound, even though it still might not be perfect.

As said, some games works well, many don't. Mostly sound is distorted as hell. Any fix, i take!

what are you running on zach
are you on a stock play???

Yeah for now.. stock play r800x rooted... unlocked BL.. Sometimes I switch it up to Cyanogen..

[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...

In GB with Arconium 8.2 and DoomKernel v22, games flied off (including MC3)

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?

Edward onsveyo
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 don´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... =\

[Q] Best ICS Rom for gaming

What is the best ICS Rom that plays well with games? I want an ICS custom rom where its stable enough to use daily and can run all of the emulators and xperia play games fine (battlefield, nova, dead space,ect).

ICS++

Where can I get it for the Xperia Play??

Well it depends what type of ICS you are looking for. The best I would say would be the official Beta sony released a while ago!
here is the link: http://developer.sonymobile.com/wp/...or-unlocked-xperia-play-smartphones-download/
But if don't like the Sony firmware interface and the loads of crap thats comes with it then I'd also say ICS++
Link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1599906
But I have to say Atarii is no longer continuing with ICS++ he has GalaxyS3 and won't be around as frequent. So I'd say having said that you'd be better off with ROM that DEVS are working on ATM i.e.
1) Cyanogenmod 9 by Freexperia: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1447542
Touchpad/gamepad and Gaming Optimisation: Medium (Emulators work still a work in progress) More stable with normal games
2) Official ICS port of Xperia ray: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1599269
Touchpad/gamepad and Gaming Optimisation: Good (Emulators work still a work in progress - New game launcher)

Well I was happy with GB 2.3.4 for gaming until I decided to play HAWX. No Gamepad support… then I found GAMEKEYBOARD. At that time there was no support for touchpads, only the game buttons. The only option was JOYSTICK CENTER, only available for ICS! I decided to try it, also willing to get a better user interface…
The first rom I tried was the official sony ICS Beta version, very stable, however it was slow for some high end games (TDKR for example). Some OLD games crashed such as Shadow Guardian and HAWX.
I installed the Pureless ICS afterwards, however the user interface and figures were a little bit too fancy for me…did not tried the performance
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1822118
Then I changed to Markphyton’s Stock ICS… great rom too. Stable and with nice user interface and widgets, such as menu when scrolling down the screen. 180 Mb RAM size… realy nice! But TDKR was still slow and the crashing game issue still happened for old games… When Wild blood came and even with overclock the game was lagging…I decided to change it back to GB!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1854682
So… I went back to GB… this time NXT light… what a rom. The rom itself is only 80 Mb, so there is a lots of RAM free! Very stable. Some things I like about it:
- All games run lackless!
- The apps already installed are exactly what I needed (except the file explorer).
o The Music player (Clean Music) plays directories and even skips the song when pressing volume button longer!
o Quick Pic is fast and let me select multiple Pictures at same time
- Percent Battery icon is even better than Markphyton’s Stock ICS
- Menu when scrolling down the screen
- Camera works with buttons and FOCUS and TAKES the picture when pressing R button stead of only focusing like the Camera MOD app in googleplay.
- The cool old TV looking when screen turns off
So I also tried NXT2JB rom just for fun, but it came with so mane apps that I do not use that I went back to NXT light right away!
PS: Gamekeyboard NOW controls touchpads in xperia play... so I am finally happy!!!

Yeah, ICS ROMs are pretty sweet, but some games only work on GB and I'm not willing to part with them.

[Q] HTC Desire in 2013

Hello!
My Xperia Mini Pro died, and I'm looking for cheap phone right now..
I found a HTC Desire for a great price, but I have some questions (I would like to use 4.1+ CM ROMs or 4.0 Sense ROM):
- On my XMP I played with Angry Birds games, Temple Run 2, GBA Emulator, Logo Quiz and games like this. On the Desire these games are playable?
- What about video playback? It's got bigger screen than the XMP, so I can watch shows on it sometimes, is the HW enough for this?
That's all for now, hope you can help! Thanks!

If you are running a gb rom like mild wild or cm7, all of that is easily possible. Games and video playback are great. However if you want to use 4+ rom it definately wont be as smooth, but they will still be ok.
Right now I'm running 4.2.1 (check rom in my sig) and video playback is decent, and so are games like temple run 2.
Btw my quadrant benchmark score is around 1000.
If you are looking for a smooth stable 4+ rom, I would definitely recommend the paranoid rom in my sig. It's the fastest ics/job rom if tried so far.
