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.

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.
I've got an n7100 running a stock rom and kernel. I have nesoid 2.5 installed from here http://sourceforge.net/projects/nesoid/ . For some reason, savestates don't work across restarts of the emulator. I can play a game and save and load the quick save over and over and it works as it should. If I completely close the emulator or reboot the phone, when i start nesoid and try to load the savestate, the emulator gets all garbled and the game can't be played.
Savestates are working as expected on all the other emulators I tried (gensoid, gameboid, fpse, mupen64, ...). Has anybody experienced this issue with nesoid and the n7100? And does anybody happen to have a fix for it?

I have the exact same issue. I'm on a galaxy nexus and I installed from fdroid.
So far I can't find a sega genesis emulator or an NES one that doesn't suck.
I've tried a couple NES emulators and NEStolgia is the only "Decent" one I've found but it doesn't support more than 1 player for the xbox 360 gamepads like the SNES one I have does.
Sega I just can't find anything period.
Also has anyone tried playing playstation on this yet?
Edit:Retroarch has multiple player mapping.
Retroarch 1.0.0.2 has a large selection,but can be a little difficult to use.
It has the only known working Sega 32x emulator for android via Picodrive which can run Knuckles Chaotix,but sadly not the prototype builds from Sonic Retro.
The N64 and PS1 emulators within may work fine for you,but not for us keyboard users who lack analog input since there is no analog mapping.
You can enable a touch overlay to access the rewind feature and other features. (stupidly missing input mappings for rewind and forward)
Retroarch needs a complete overhaul of its input mapping by adding all system specific controls including analog as mappable buttons plus rewind/forward.
There is PPSSPP's stable release that can even run the homebrew SRB2PSP at full speed (35/35fps) after enough option tweaking in exception to Deep Sea Zone.
PPSSPP runs DBZ Shin Budokai at a near flawless 60fps after tweaking.
I recently tried the DOS emulator called MagicBox with W95.img and got decent speeds,and internet explorer actually opening,but sadly no internet access.
Someone needs to cut out the middle-man and make Windows run properly on Android WITH internet access and unbeatable speed.
Can someone point me to info for getting Windows CE on Android without replacing the ROM or unlocking the bootloader?
epsxe has no audio on the Kindle Fire HDX no clue if the Fire TV suffers from the same issue or not.
So there isn't a decent Sega Genesis emulator yet?
Whats the best SNES emulator? Would love xbox360 gamepad support but not essential.
Just want these 2, I couldn't personally care for N64 or PSE. After those classic games from my youth .

Just bought a ouya controller ($17.99) at bestbuy online. I like old emulator games and sports games, but up until now haven't done much gaming on fire tv. I noticed NHL2k15
Has anyone tried this on fire tv? Also if there are any other games like NBA2k14 or 15 let me know if they work well on aftv. What I mean is are they made for touch screen devices? If so is there a way to make them playable with the controller. I have NBA 2k14 but as far as I can tell it's a touch screen version that works fine on my son's tablet but I can't find a way to change the settings to work with the ouya or any other gamepad.
Really it's an open question and any info is good and appreciated. Thanks.

The only way around this I can think of is if you had root on your AFTV. You could try using an application called tincore keymapper which would enable you to map physical buttons as touchscreen gestures. Also, there are some good sports games available to play via emulators. Try using a Playstation emulator such as Espxe or FPSE. Theres lots of sports games for that.
Hi Guys,
So after reading a few threads/reviews I decided to bite the bullet and buy the Nyko ProPad for my emulator needs. I'm currently using RetroArch namely the SNES emulators at the moment, the app seems to auto configure the pad which is great, but there seems to be some keymapping issues especially the start button (which is used fr the game app's options/GUI). This prevent me from starting any of the games i've tried (apart from Mario Cart which seems to start with the A button and works fine..)
Has anyone else had similar problems and may have overcome them?
I know there is nightly version of RetroArch where you can use customer .cfg files which may help.. I'm not sure anyone with any experience?
(just noticed the title should read "Playpad Pro"!)
EDIT - I have now tried this with N64 which i seemed to be able to play fine as i didn't need to use the 'start' button the start the actual game play (golden eye & mario Cart 64)
