ive been trying to get gameboid (gba emulator) working but nothing happens when i open a rom. are there more people who allready have tried this?????
btw are there more people who have tried playing other games on android
its a bit laggy with me but i dont know if it is because we dualboot android or it isnt perfect enough for these games
I'm coming from a G1, so I still have a few games I had already purchased. All my emulators (snes, gen, gba) run pretty slow, it was a little better with the overclocked build before the wifi was added, but no where near as smooth as it played on my G1 (smoothly with sound and no frame skip). I think once they get the OpenGL to work, it should run pretty smoothly, But for now, it's just a waiting game. Be patient.
i have download a newer version of gameboid and now it works but have to find how to set the buttons
i haven't tried any of the emulators in android (just use my WM ones still) but have some games from the market place that work pretty good Gem Miner, Crystal Light, Farm Frenzy (lags some) Portal Keeper, Settlers 3 and Spades Master Online i tried path of the warrior icommando and tankace didnt work
i can see gameboid works better then morphgear, ive more frames
i ve not that many games for android yet but labyrinth is damn laggy but maybe its because it uses g sensor
yes i tried this game labyrinth lite and its 3d game
did you also have very much lag with labyrinth ?????
Robo defense is a very entertaining tower defense game. It's probably my favorite game for Android.
i'm very enjoyed play gba in tytn ii! but, the pocket gba on wm 6 is so bad. lag on tytn ii (i dont know if there was a plugin for htc perofrmance. i never found and never try )
so, how was the android? is it lag on the OS it self? and anyone has installed GAMEboid, THE GAMEBOY ADVANCE emolator on android? how is it going? really nice? or better? or bad?
i saw on youtube somebody played with htc dream. so perfect!
thx
sorry my english so bad
I haven't tried GAMEBOID, but I have used Nesoid, Gensoid, and SNESoid. Seeing as it's the same developer, can't image it working any different.
The emulators work perfectly, except that you need to remap the directional buttons, otherwise you can't perform more then 1 action at a time. I use WASD personally.
Considering how bad Genesis and Snes is on Wm 6, I'd definitely switch to Android for all you classic gaming needs. Even Nes is better, cause it sounds better. PocketNester has horrible sound emulation, but Nesoid sounds perfect.

Why don't you just boot up HaRET and try it? It doesn't take long, is simple to do, and then you'd know the answer.
Hell, you could even flash an Android ROM. If you don't like it, it's not hard to go back to WM...

I have tried it running under HaRET using an off-brand class 6 MicroSD and it works great after I set the aspect ratio to "original". However, with TyTN II (Kaiser) the original aspect ratio actually looks great IMO the size is about the same as the screen.
Hello all.
I am having problems with emulation on my newly purchased xperia play.
I downloaded snesoid because I was recommended to get it by a friend *and apparently the internet is crazy about it*. When I tried playing Megaman X on it, there was very noticeable slowdown. The first stage *highway* ran at noticeably slower speeds than it did on the snes. It was playable, but felt sluggish. At first I was okay with this, but then I played it on my friend's phone just to test it out, and his was runninghttp://media.xda-developers.com/images/editor/menupop.gif it perfectly.
Does anyone know why that may be?
I also downloaded snes9x ex to test it out, and the app runs great! Problem with this app, unfortunately, is the VERY noticeable input latency. It makes platformers really odd to play on with.
I tried Seiken Densetsu 3 on Snesoid as well, and that game glitches out every conversation that comes up. The screen will flicker for a second. Very jarring.
Has anyone else experienced these kind of things with theirs, and if so, does anyone know a fix for this?
If this is phone specific, I am just going to return it since it only has been a day and just get a new one, but I want to make sure I can't do anything to fix it on my end before hand, this way I can at least learn something about these phones if there is a fix I CAN do at home, since I currently am a huge phone noob.
Something very interesting I just noticed.
Just tried Megaman X2 and X3 and those games run perfectly.
Color me confused.
Yea, SNES9x plays better with less glitches, but has noticeable button lag. Took forever for me to beat DKC, especially the mine cart stages.
Im sorry to hear about your problem mate but mine seems to run all of the games perfectly smooth. Ive had no such issues yet regarding the snesoid emulator.
If you feel strongly about it I would suggest trying out a new sexplay.
Also note the programs you have running in your running services log. Something there may be interfering with your gameplay. I can't seem to use Swiftkey X on my Xplay as it causes lag that kills the experience on nearly every game I play.
But the button lag is something you will have to deal with on any XPlay and SNES9x. Unfortunate, and hopefully will be fixed by the author at some point.
Is there button input lag with Snes A.D (free emulator on market) ?
Could someone test it for me ? I'm supposed to get the phone next week, and I chose it especially for emulation so I'd be disappointed if there are any issues with SNES games.
Have had not any issues with these games.
I use SnesOid and TigerSNES - both free.
same here,gensoid running silky smooth,fpse running perfectly fine,tiger arcade for th e most games also good,but imho useless cause no dip switch access or neo geo rom settings(tried that mame4all but no thanks,seems it support only legacy roms,don`t wanna convert all my roms for that program,the few that were running on mame4all were also laggy)
but snesoid(latest version) isn`t running good,as i stated in another thread.
for example super castlevania 4,it doesn`t matter if frameskip is on or off,set to manual or auto,it`s far away from running smooth,there is a slight stuttering when you look at the background as your character moves forward-also numerous other games..tried snes 9x or what is called,realized it doesn`t load any of my snes roms because it cant read .zip files,only .smc and even with .smc it won`t open some roms.i`ll try this tiger snes now
Hated SNES A.D. looking for a good emu right now too.
when u complain about noticeable input lag in snes9x, what kind of games are u playing? ive never really had any issues with it since its around a 10th of a second (tbh i doubt id ever of noticed it playing things like super metroid)
all of my games are in .zip files and ive never had any issues with the emulator at all, destroys snesoid imo. i do hope that the input lag is fixed, but overall i think its a much better emulator than anything else available.
I sure would like to try snes9x.... can't find it though! Little help?

i noticed just earlier after i posted realizing i hadn't received an update in some time. It appears to have been removed from the market, odd considering that all his other emulators are still there and one of his main selling points was compliance with the gpl of snes9x (the reason it was free as opposed to his other emulators)
the website is http://www.explusalpha.com/home
Robert Brogalia is the devs name, check out his other apps, they all get fantastic feedback.
Oh my god! This emulator is amazing! Everyone get it. This should just come on the phone..... LOL

u can change the dpi of the menus, turn off that shocking linear filtering that snesoid and all them use(i like me some retro blockiness) and it doesnt appear but when scrolling through lists thumb scroll works just fine.
Looks like I have to start over on Zelda, guess the saves are different from snesnoid. So worth it though.
Sent from my R800a using xda premium
u just have to change the extention to the same one used in snes9x...if i recall snesoid uses .sav, snes9x uses .sma or something, i got all mine working so if u fiddle u should get it, afaik quicksaves are a no-go however, just the battery backup works.
Snesoid is based on the snes9x source anyway......

if people are finding solutions that work better for them thats a good thing, i dont care if the source is the same, i find it to be a better emulator. i will say i initially bought all yonghz apps including n64oid.
Goping back on topic i just got myself a Play today, and i have major problems with games on gameboid, genesoid, snesoid theyw ill jump around and skip frames. I know why it's becuase it has frameskip set to 2 by default. If i set it to 0 then the audio produces an annoying stuttering and clicking. I just don't belive this ive seen thousands of videos showing th performance and sound of the games and its perfect. Ive even rooted and stripped my Play of some apps too. Now im really at wits end this thing wont emulate any game perfectly... What can i do????

Trust me mate, I've tried everything on both of my Xperia Plays. One stock, and one overclocked to 1.6ghx with CyanogenMod 7.
I'm at the same stage... I set games to 0 frameskipping and most games run perfectly, however if I enable the sound I get this horrible crackle (and with TigerMAME 3.0.3 noticable lag spikes - which is a damn shame). I think most of these emus need optimising for Xperia Play.
'Perfect' is such an over-used term these days... However these are the best emus of the bunch in my opinion... Trust me, I'm extremely anal when it comes to emulation.
TigerMAME 3.0.3 - With sound disabled can run games like Gigawing and Mars Matrix perfectly. I really hope the audio can be optimised. I'm currently playing the above two games with my own music playing in the background until then. Also, I believe older versions of Tiger run more games than this release...
MAME4Droid - Good for games which fall under the old MAME romset. Most games run smooth with audio (a lot of older games run perfectly) and the amount of CPU/audio customisation is unrivaled.
SNES9X EX - Runs games perfectly (excluding the Mode-7 heavy titles), with only slight audio crackle... Hoping for this to be resolved soon.
MD.EMU - The best Genesis/Megadrive emu around, same dev as SNES9X EX. Does the job where others fail (ie: near perfect Sonic 3 performance). Some audio problems here also.
GBAoid - Seems to work perfectly with everything I've tried. I need to put more research into GBA emu.
As the topic states. I am using emulation (NES, SNES, GENESIS & GBA) on my phone.
But are there any stats on wich emulator that are best for each system, performance wise?
Is Nesoid, Snesoid, Genoid and Gameboid the best out there, or are there other contenders of the champion title?
i like all the .emu emulator more (updated almost weekly and faster and more compatible):
nes.emu
md.emu
and from the same author: snes9x ex (wich is the only one from him that is free on his webpage), just put snes9x ex on google.
Get all the -oid emulators off the slideme marketplace. Nesoid, snesoid, gameboid, gensoid, etc. They're free.

Do you know anything about input lag? All SNES emulators for Android have always had a bad input lag up to 1/2 of a second.

Really? I've not had input lag on Kirby's Dream Land 3 on snesoid. The game itself is laggy when not overclocked, but the input itself is snappy

I've played through all 3 Donkey Kong Country's on Snesoid and didn't notice any lag
i thin snes9x ex is the best snes emu http://www.explusalpha.com/home/snes9x-ex/downloads
also md.emu is real good
Thanks for the input!
Just wanna say something about lagging (not input lag, but ordinary lag).
It´s very much about what you have installed, and what processes being run in the background. I have used Titanium Backup to wipe a lot of bloatware, and when I´m gaming, I use Astro to kill off all the unnecessary apps being run in the background.
I always run Task-Killer in Astro prior to gaming, the experience is much better.
I don't use task killer anymore because Android load the apps back to the ram as soon as you kill them. The only way is to disable (ICS feature) or freeze them, or as you said, delete.
neo.emu alone makes this phone worth its full price.
Mupen64plus is a pretty good n64 emulator and the psx emulator on the xperia play is pretty good. Or use fpse orwhatever it's called instead

guys, I am new to Xperia PLAY
But I am using DroidEmu and its really very good, give it a try !!
I know this is a really specific question, however I'm wondering if anyone has had luck getting Goldeneye working on a Fire TV? I've tried different emulators, and they all seem to stutter at the opening sequence. Admittedly I haven't played it yet as I don't have a controller. The sole reason I'd get a controller is to relive this game.
Anyways, if it works for you and you can help out with the emulator used and settings, please share! Or if you play it and the stutter is only at the opening sequence, please let me know. Thank you!
Doesnt work for me either
I used it this past weekend on Mupen 64 plus AE, but I was using dualshock 3 ps controller and since I dont have keyboard/mouse, it was really hard playing with ps3 controller. I couldn't change controller type in mupen due to missing kb/mouse.
it works with n64oid
i tested it here. http://forum.xda-developers.com/fire-tv/general/n64-games-wiimote-root-t3006978
Thanks guys! I really just wanted to make sure it worked before I invested in a controller.
This was like the first thing I did when I got my first fire tv and I got it working with mupen but it lags way too much to be enjoyable... sorry bro
The port of GlideN64 to Android is near...
My hope is that it outperforms the other plugins by some degree while having improved graphical rendering accuracy and quality.
Awesome! I'll give it a shot when it's ready!
It looks like it should be quite good since they are using the "Boost" library to build it.
I can only hope the same can be done for the other plugins in case of wanting to still use them for comparing performance at an elevated state.
Yes, It's perfectly playable using Mupen 64 AE as are some other N64 games. Zelda Ocarina of Time, Doom 64, Banjo Kazooie, Super Mario 64, Mario Kart 64 and a lot more. I've been working my way through them and keeping the ones that work for me.
Try Banjo-Tooie on their latest Alpha from the site,it even runs on both architectures where it didn't run on x86 before.
It does not replace your other one,it installs alongside it.
Banjo-Tooie runs ENDLESSLY on FireTV since I tested it for an extremely long session collecting most stuff up to before the Weldar fight.
Such a shame it runs so slow because of the ancient and wimpy [email protected] qualcomm drivers.
There is also a cheat editor built-in on the Alpha so you can use the no frameskip cheat to smooth things out up to 60fps max but at the expense of more slowdown.
Be warned,as it can get stuck on some cutscenes if you set countperop to 1 for best smoothness while sacrificing mostly all of the performance.
If TechVendetta,rbox,and the others can pull off a custom FireTV rom release with Qualcomm [email protected] or [email protected] drivers baked in,we might get a serious performance increase and helpful bugfixes.
Anybody able to try Goldeneye on the AFTV2 to see if it is any better? I'd appreciate it!
