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.
Is every1 of you satisfied with the gaming performance of the tab? I would have assumed, that's actual games run smoother smooth with this device, so should youtube-hd videos... but neither games (Asphalt 8 Airborne, Repulze,...) run smooth (they are stuttering somehow) nor do youtube videos run smooth (same stutter). Any1 else noticed it? I played around with some governors, not even "performance" strikes those stutters out... I saw a thread in some other forums, where the LG g2 left cpu rendering active as default.. so i took the advice and chaged the egl.cfg in system/libs/egl... no effect at all.
Also the videos don't seem to be "filtered" - had a NExus 7 before, videos were super smooth and "filtered" (I don't know how to describe this more accurately...). The videos on the GPad look more pixelated and definitely not smooth... there seems to be some kind of filter/driver/...? missing...?
Any ideas?
EDIT:
see this page:
http://forums.androidcentral.com/lg-g-pad-8-3/333491-overclock-underclock-stuttering-smoothing.html
i tried to edit the egl.cfg... but it didn't change anything, sadly.
I don't play those games, but dead trigger 2, real racing 3, arcane legends and shadow gun dead zone run smoothly all day. Most I've played was 2 hours straight.
Little stutter
I have a little stutter i Youtube while watching Danny McAskill way back hoke, but it is both with and without HD and I also experience some stutter on my pc (core i7 integrated graphics). On the other hand I watched some netflix without stutter so maybe it's something with youtube.
I tried asphalt 8 and noticed a little stutter in the beginning but later it was gone (played 20 min great game by the way) and I never experience any stutter in Defence zone 2 HD.

Other games also starting will lag.
you can try and make a factory reset and earase internal storage. Maybe there was a problem or something.
Gets your device hot when you start the game?
How about a benchmark program? Did you make a test and compare to other results on youtube e.g.
Maybe some hardware error or sth. like that.

i tested with AnTuTu benchmark v6.1.4 and i get 53410, how about yours?
Ah just saw ur pn and replied to you. With antutu i got 47514. So from this side it looks okay. Hardware have no issues.
But then I have no idea what could be the problem on your device. My other games are running smoothly, only vainglory is a little laggy.
I am sorry man, I have no other ideas to help you.
Has anyone of you tried playin Asphalt 8?
How is it? mine is so laggy. even in lowest settings.

Did you enable the Perfomance Mode in Battery settings?
I haven't played Asphalt yet, but I play Real Racing 3. This app is running very smoothly without any issues.
You can try this one and reply what happens.

Asphalt 8 lags like hell even with performance mode on
its asphalt 8 not the device it is rather optimised and lags on most devices, source from YouTube videos of others playing it on some high end devices.
Possibly the device is not switching to the 2.0ghz a53 part of the octocore?
Question, how well does it run world of tanks blitz?
Anyone having a problem where during heavy 3D games or Benchmarks(Antutu) that you notice the screen freeze up for less than half a second intermittently? I will run Antutu Benchmark and score 141,000 but during the 3D playback i can see it momentarily freeze up about once or twice in both the Marooned and Garden scenes. I've also noticed it intermittently happening while playing Modern Combat 5 etc. It's just a bit frustrating when everything is buttery smooth and then that momentary freeze can mess u right up.
Im running LeeDroid ROM with the cleanslate kernel that is packed with it, and no other add ons or extensions.
Anyone know what the root cause of this can be or any fix?
Anyone have a cure of fix for my slow, choppy framerates in 10? I've tried every beta and now on the release and when I play Hill Climb Racing 2 it just sucks, even with the so called game driver in developer settings. I'm sure I'll have to go back to 9 but figured I'd gripe here first since I don't see anyone else doing it
