Anybody else having a problem where Gameboid and GBCoid keep randomly going back to the select rom screen? The apps aren't force closing either and when it does happen it says in the notification bar "Gameboid is running" as if I just pressed the home button or something. Other emulators such as N64oid or SNESoid don't do this either. Idk its just really annoying because the emulation itself is fantastic. If it helps I'm running Starburst rom v1.3 and the kernel it comes with but I don't think that matters because it was happening before I was rooted. Anyways thanks in advance for any fixes and sorry for the long post.

Happens to me. It's definitely something with the device. Ever since I started running midNIGHT rom v2 I haven't had a crash. Although I only tried it about 10 minutes

Same with me. I'm on starburst rom and I can even play for 5 min without it crashing
Do you guys have any ideas on why this is happening or what we could do to fix it?

This also happens to me on stock. Kinda frustrating, but I have confidence it will be solved in the future.

That's strange. What ROM/kernel are you using? N64oid never crashes on me. (Except for certain roms, such as Zelda).
Stock rom and the latest zedomax kernel. It doesn't force close either.. Just ends the Rom and brings me back to the Rom selection screen.

this happens with just about any kind of game I play, not just emulators. any kind of tower defense game or plants vs zombies or anything that requires some sort of graphics. games like spades or dominoes or games with low graphical requirements seem to be fine. ive been rooted from day one and have always had a custom kernel and rom. my gf's e4gt was stock until about a week ago and her's did the same thing. you can play for 5 - 10 min then the games would just close. no FC, just close. battery temps rise as well when this happens. I wonder if its not a dodgy gpu or gpu driver?

Mine's the opposite. Runs fine on n64oid, Alchemy, Cut the Rope, and even Beats. But Gameboid and GBcoid both randomly crash (without prompting a FC.)
I believe I may have found the culprit, at least for me. I was having the same issue as many of you, SNESDroid would just go back to the main screen without a FC. Then while trying to play the same parts of the game all over again, I decided to fast-forward everything and I noticed for the longest time the game didn't crash on me. So I decided to try something out and disabled the sound in the settings menu. So far the game hasn't crashed on me. It's unfortunate that I don't get to hear anything though, but I'd rather play a quiet game that doesn't crash. Than hear some audio and have the game crash on me every 5 - 10 mins.

I will try this out when I can, but like others, why does it only do this with Gameboid and GBCoid and not the heavier emulators like N64oid?

Has anyone made any headway with this? I've tried a variety of tricks but Gameboid keeps crashing within 5 minutes of starting the game.
I've had the same problems with some emulators from the android market. They would crash within a mintue or two. So I uninstalled them and found NESoid and SNESoid. They last longer but they still crash with no FC message. I'm running Starburst v1.5 and Zedomax OC Kernel

is there a way to play it anyway? (I still get a black screen, nothing else)
Recently I've been playing Modern Combat 3 and Im addicted to it.
But I'm facing one problem/bug/glitch, it's that sometimes, either I'm playing multiplayer or campaign, in the middle of that mission/game. I can't reload/throw grenade/swap weapons. And after my ammo went out, it won't auto reload and when I aim down my sights the player vibrates. Anyone facing this problem or solution?
EDIT : Sorry if this question was asked.
I have that too. It gets unstuck if you jump over a object. Thats the only way I found to get past this glitch...

I'll have it a try.. I'm stuck in mission 11 where you need to take out that 2 tanks.
Well i get something strange too : sometimes, and tbh, i guess if theres really alot of **** going on screen, my movement doesnt work anymore ^^ hes just running forward and my touchpad doesnt recognize anything. Same with the right tp : just cant look. Is there anything wrong with the kernel, cause i recognized when not using the full 2.0 ghz (doomlord) it happens less.its Still hapening but not that often then.card is sandisk 16gb cls 4. Vr on performance with (usually when gaming) 1.4 to 1.6 ghz. No taskkiller or something.

I finally got it I did what they said above. There is a crate at the wall of the corner were you turn to the tanks. You can jump over this crate. So I tried to get the rocket launcher and the bug happened so I double backed to the crate and jumped over it and it cleared the bug.
Went back to get the launcher and the bug happened again so I went back and jumped the crate again .
I did this process about three times and then finally it let me pick up the launcher.
I can finally finish this game now

So basically I had this issue for awhile now, even on stock ROM and kernel. Now i'm using CM10 nightly with franco kernel. Whenever I play a game offline or out of reach pf Wi-Fi, the game runs perfectly fine. But when connected to Wi-Fi i'm getting huge frame drops (1-5 fps) every like 2-3 min. Maybe it has already been answered, but yes, I did search the forums, I searched pretty much everywhere. Anyone had similar issues?
What about 3g/4g?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
I do,and I still did not got a workaround with this...but I don't have this issue only when connected to wifi,just every time i do something(play a game,scrolling,switching homescreens) the only workaround is using faux kernel wich is pretty good(in my case)
Maybe an app like facebook

It does it with mostly 3D games, but it does it as well for a few 2D games like Drag Racing. I noticed that turning off auto-sync got rid of the lag for about 10 minutes. But then the framedrops would happen again.

Seems as though you have something running in the background.
You could try, is catch what is going on via logs (ddms may be helpful here since it has a built in log, but you can get them via adb as well) or adb shell commands, adb shell top for example. Trying and see what is going on when the lag spikes hit.
Alternatively, you can disable/uninstall apps that could possibly be the offenders. Facebook apps, twitter apps, messaging, email...perhaps even widgets. Then try and game until you figure out what the offender was.
This is assuming it is another app at fault.
Alright thanks for the advice! Won't be able to try it right now as I'm going on a vacation but as soon as I can I'll do it and report back.

Anyone running GTA San Andreas or GTA Vice City on the M8?
For some reason is not working for me, after menu the game starts loading, when bar reaches almost 100%,the have just closes. No message or anything, it just stops for both these versions of GTA.
The original GTA III works a treat.
Was looking forward to trying San Andreas on the M8 but so far no go...
Anyone have any ideas on what could be going wrong here?

yeah, I cant figure out what happened.
Vice city was working, although the controls seemed to be hovering in half the screen (as if resolution of the buttons differed from the screen)
Then it just wouldn't go beyond the load screen at all anymore.
So strange....
Try clearing cache if that doesn't work then you have to uninstall then install again. For me San Andreas is working well

Am now installing sa 1.03 to see if that one works...
No go either..
I guess some setting got messed up which is used by both SA and Vice City funnily enough...

Makes absolutely no sense to me. I had issues running it on my M7 while on Viper Rom, reverted to NuSense and all was well. I have no idea how s-off could break a game? Best game I own too. ISH!

Could you try this for me.
Load the game, wait for at least one minute on the main menu screen before pressing resume or start..
See if it works that way, it just did with me..
No clue what's going on here but it does the trick...
Does not work for Vice City though...

strange, seems to work now consistently for me, as long as I leave it for longer than a minute at the initial menu screen...

It seems like Rockstar is checking somewhere if you are rooted or s-off

Did you remove any bloat from your phone? That is the only thing I can possibly think of, I removed a lot of bloat. Is there any way I could get you to time how long you load or start a new game after the game boots? I'll also try another rockstar game and see if it works after I get out of work.

I used times between 1 and 2 minutes, but it has to be over 1 minute minimum.
Still nothing. Crap.

I think it may be related to the ext SD card. It seems to create a directory on the SD that it can't use.
I do some testing later.
FYI I installed Viper and the it's working fine now. Sweet.
I take that back. Craps.
