Does anyone know what exactly Gameloft uses to recognize the Xperia Play ? For instance games like ShadowGun and Predators only need the build props set up correct and the entire game pad (buttons and touch) work on all firmwares. However, GameLoft seems to be using more then just the build prop maybe?
If anyone has any insight please feel free to input anything at all. I have contacted Gameloft recently but so far no response on the development side of things.

Hi all,
I am interested to get this controller. I wonder if anyone can tell me if it can theoritically work on games not ported from playstation? (eg brothers in arms from gameloft)
As you can see from the video, it works on S2 for mario

This is partly connected to Bluez-IME. In theory Bluez-IME can emulate the Xperia controls hence Gameloft games should work with Phonejoy. However for some reason in many games just the d-pad appears to be working as of yet. The issue is known however to the dev Kenneth (http://code.google.com/p/android-bluez-ime/issues/detail?id=66) and I think he is looking into it.
In part 2 of the video he uses it with Samurai Vengeance and it works rather well i might add (around 9:18min mark):

I use a PS3 controller and the sixaxis app for my N64 emulator on my phone, but that doesnt allow me to to use it in games which are just touch screen controls I might have to check out Bluez-IME to see if it can help out!
Hey guys,
I'm considering getting an Xperia Play as my daily driver and using my Samsung Infuse as my "GalaxyS Touch", but I was wondering if a couple games are available.
Has anybody seen the Tony Hawk games available for this? How about Spyro? Ridge Racer Type 4? also, can the game buttons be mapped in NESoid? Aaaand my last question, is it possible to load your own PS1 games onto the device? I'm sorry if some of these questions have already been asked. I did use the search function first, seriously!
As of now the only PS1 game out in the US is Crash Bandicoot which comes with it. There have been some other releases that show on the Android market but can't be downloaded unless your phone is rooted.

That said, you can convert many PS1 games as long as you have the disc to work with the phone using this method, its free:

I believe people are using the control pad with the "oid" emulators as well.
Hi!
I have been playing a lot of emulators on PC during the years. But is right now thinking of buying an Xperia Play, because I understand that it´s quite a nice phone. It´s on quite a sale in scandinavia right now, so I might be getting one during the week.
I would however like some input for some questions, and would be thankful if someone would take their time to answer them for me.
1. I have problems finding a reliable compatibility list for PSX-gaming. Three of the games that I really itch to play are "Alundra", "Final Fantasy Tactics" and "Legend of Mana". Can someone please enlighten me how these games will run on a Xperia Play?
2. I also have a question about other emulators. Will SNES & Genesis-emulators run lag-free on an Xperia Play?
Thank you for reading (and maybe answering) .
The Xperia Play is really awesome for playing games in emulators. The only problem is that most of them don't support the touchpad.
These are the emulators I've tried:
NESoid
SNESoid - completely lag-free, to answer your question
N64oid (sometimes a bit laggy)
GBCoid - gameboy color emulator
GameBoid - GBA emulator
FPse - PSX emulator
Unfortunately neither of these support the touchpad. And for PSX games I actually prefer FPse to the official PSX emulator that comes with the Play, because, while the official one supports the touchpad (very nicely, might I add), it is a bit buggy with most games that aren't available officially for it.
not sure about genesis as i haven't tried it yet. snes is no problem as is gameboy/advance/colour. on the psx side of things, you could try fpse or psxdroid for emulators. you would need the roms for those games you want as well as the bios file. or, you could also convert the roms of those games to work via the play's playstation pocket app. the pre-installed crash bandicoot game will give you an idea of how smooth it is once converted using the psxperia tool.
This is a magnificent device for emulators. Nuff said
sent from my Xperia PLAY using XDA Premium
I have emulators for Yongzhi's emulators for:
-Gameboid - GamBoy Advance
-SNEWSoid - Super Nintendo
-Gensoid - Genesis
-FPse - PSX
-N64oid - N64
And they all work flawlessly and are availble at the SlideMe market for FREE except for the N64 and PSX emulators. The PSX emulator is avaible on the Android Market and works on a lot of games but of course not all of them. I would suggest you visit the FSpe forum to find out which specific games work for the Play.
The N64 emulator is available from the SlideMe market for I think 2 bucks. I works okay with some games but is still be updated. Also u can try the open source one but I forget what it's called. I think it's on the XDA forum somewhere.
I know that some people recommend PSXPeria for Gingerbread, but after looking through the compatibility list, I can see there aren't too many games that are compatible with it, such as some of my personal favorites - Harry Potter 1 & 2, and Spyro 3 (SP3 works, but voices cut off, and it's annoying).
Does FPse solve most of these problems? Or has PSXPeria been long updated since that list?
I've seen some people recommend FPse for ICS,but I don't have that.
Lastly, is there a way to get the touch pads to work with FPse? I think they already work with PSXPeria, correct me if I'm wrong.
Any tips?

hmm i think i could use toutchpad's at fpse. Hmm did you try ePSXe ? If not you should try.
fpse uses touchpads. It works wonders
fpse/ePSXe

Both work with touchpads. fpse from what I can tell is more general support where epsxe is a bit more accurate.
for me fpse is best ps1 emulator
Hello everybody! In my first thread I already would like to ask if anyone have experienced similar things on Xperia Play. I have SonyCM 10 Final installed, as well as LuPuS_zeus_jBv13-full and after that I found out that some games that should work properly with my touchpad... well, they don't. I got Metal Slug X and 3 installed, Pocket RPG, N64 and SNES emulator, and they work flawlessly with my touchpad. But I installed games like Chaos Rings and Eternal Legacy and they do not recognize the touchpad. Well, those are Xperia Play optimized games, but I read that they had already problems when playing on android 2.3.3+. So is there anybody that experienced same problems? Or is there a fix of some kind?
Also I applied the O button fix, but the 'keypad-zeus.kl' reverse itself to default values (back instead of button B)... WTH?
And btw - is there any update for the things I have 'onboard'? I included screenshot (it's in Polish, but it's pretty clear) of the things I have.
Ask - if I missed something, I'll gladly answer! ^^

I recently got a play.... I couldn't get the touch pad to work at all in cm7 (shame coz im a fan of cm7)
Im now using gin2jellybean ROM and the touch pads work fine on all the games iv tried
I haven't tried Chaos Rings or Eternal Legacy tho
Still nothing... It's kind of sad that there's no workaround or solution for this problem... I can't play many games because when I press Square or Triangle, the X button is virtually pressed as well...

Yeah, and it was a no-go... I'm even thinking of reversing to original android 2.3.4... but is it worth it even? I'd love to have 4.1.2 and play game normally, without lag or multipress issues...
