I have an ASUS Rog II.
I purchased Darkwood for pc and love it, but since its not graphically intensive, i want to play it on my phone and need a way to do so. here are things ive tried:
1. Using Termux to run an arm64 version of Ubuntu. It wont download Steam, since its arm64 and not a full emulation of a x86, so unless i can emulate a full linux machine, thats out.
2. Downloading the Nintendo Switch version of the game, but there is no good Switch emulators, at least i haven't found any.
3. Translating said Switch Darkwood NPS file into something Dolphin Emulator can understand. imagine playing Darkwood with a sensor bar for aiming, that'd be so cool cause joystick sucks for Darkwood.
4. The Darkwood developers say they are not going to port the game to android so, if you have more ideas or ways to emulate Darkwood successfully, please respond!

OK here is my issue, I have a Sprint Touch Pro 2 and I just upgraded to the new windows mobile 6.5 rom. I am trying to get Pocket GBA to run in Full screen or....even half scree....hell any size screen would work.
I have a feeling there is no fully complatible GBA emulator for windows mobile 6.5 out right now.
I downloaded the newest version off
http://www.sunbug.net/board_contents/view/250/PocketGBA-GameBoy-Advance-Emulator-for-PocketPC
the cab wont install and however the .zip file will work just fine.
Any ideas or are there any 3rd party patches or is there a better emulator for GBA for wm 6.5 anywhere?
I can see there is no answer, possibly because there is no fully working emulator for 6.5?

nope not really. i've done some browsing for answers and it seems all emulators have some sort of issues with our phones (TP2/Tilt 2) in particular. they will run some games...but framerate, screen size, sound..or something or the other will be missing.
i would love to get GBA working on my phone and of course a playstation emulator to have some of the Final Fantasy games

That would be amazing if they were playable on the phone. the controller would obviously have to me emulated though the keyboard. btw, asiancuta, do you have a ff9 game?

used to own it, but unfortunately not in many years now lol. but i'd hunt for one on ebay, if i know for sure we can have an emulator that works and FF can run on it at 50-60 fps. i've been an FF fan since the NES first one.
FPSece is a PSX emulator that works very well on our phone, it can run somegames a full speed without sound.
http://www.fpsece.net/downloads.htm
Makes me sad when I see a PSX emu running this fast and I cant even get a SNES/GB/GBA emulator running a full speed with sound. We need these emulators to be updated with some better faster code. I know it possible with the hardware in our phone just no one with the skill willing to take the time to do it. Not like I blame them I am sure they have better things to do then make emulators for us.
Awesome to see there there is still some old school FF fans. For the last few months, I've been building a Tetra Master game for WVGA. its at v0.60 "missing the AI still". If your skilled at the game, you could be a beta tester for me. if you know C#, then i would love some help on how to add mp3s into the program.
the game has everything the PS game has, plus more features that SHOULD be included "buying/ selling cards and a non-cryptic tutorial"
Just if people are searching, as far as you're looking to play GB or GBC, I think the registered version of SmartGear is great. Game running, screen orientation and key mapping are ideal.
Is that possible? Car Thief 6 is PC game that dont need massiv computer and have very simply made game. Is any emulator or something for that?
Game is that.

I know Quake 3 is ported PC to Android. Put about this game?
Quake 3 is already ported to Linux, that's why you have it on android. It's not a port from Windows
But what about doom and duke nukem these are PC games but they can run in android.

Both has been ported to linux first. You can always google "name_of_game linux" to see if it has been ported to linux already
The only other way I can think of is with "wine" wich emulates PC on Linux. I don't know if it is powerfull enough and I don't know if it is ported on Android niether.
Is any luck for that? Can now play Car Thief 6 on andorid phone?
Clearly someone knows this better than me. Thanks!

The most recent consoles you'll be able to emulate are the PS1 and N64. Anything newer there is not an emulator for and I doubt there will be for a long time (and certainly not for the Epic.)

Ps1 ran FF7. That'd be fine. Nintendo & Super Nintendo would also be great.
I use FPse for PS1 roms, there's a program called ECM Tools that will help you convert certain game roms into the file type(s) you need to run the image on Android.
I've put SNESoid on my girlfriends phone, she has been playing Super Mario World, Super Mario RPG and A Link to the Past, all without problems.
Both emulators feature save states, you will need a BIOs file for FPse but all you have to do is google the BIOs file mentioned when first booting up the app.
There are emulators for every system you listed accept for ps2 (a tad bit over board for our hardware ) psx4droid ver 3.0.0.6 is the newest ps emulator and n64droid 1.0..4 is the newest for n64. However all of these were recently pulled from the android market. Their developer yongzh has been giving them away for free since just google for the apk. Make sure you have the latest!

Explain these two portions a bit, please.
And btw all the ps1 final fantasys run well on psx4droid 3. I prefer IX (on disc 3 now with only a few hiccups)

He uses another ps emulator fpse. Personally, final fantasy IX looked a whole lot nice for me on psx4droid with way less pixelation. The secnd part is about the saving system which is independent of the consoles emulated memory cards an takes a snapshot at any point you like which you can load later. Like an old school gameshark.

I use FPse for PS1 roms, there's a program called ECM Tools that will help you convert certain game roms into the file type(s) you need to run the image on Android. -- Google ECM Tools and there'll be a website called Emuparadise, one of the first results. Just check out that page, there's a download link and a brief explanation of what the program does and how to use it (it's as simple as drag-and-drop).
If you download a game image and the files include a .bin or .iso or .img file, those are all good to go without any preparation. (Also wanna mention that the SNES emulator doesn't require anything like this, it's just for PSX games.)
Both emulators feature save states, you will need a BIOs file for FPse but all you have to do is google the BIOs file mentioned when first booting up the app. -- Save states are used as an alternative to the games native save file system. You can save whenever you want and load from that point. The BIOs file for FPse is named SCPH1001.bin, just pop that into Google as well and you'll find it no problem.
Edit: As being mentioned above, psx4droid is an option as well. I had lag issues with a few games while running psx4droid (primarily with the games that came around later in the PSX lifespan) which I havn't had with FPse. There have been a few games where I've noticed graphical faults within FPse, Breath of Fire III had some transparency issues...can't really think of anything else worth mentioning. I had a few roms that didn't work but I've managed to find other versions to try out and have gotten everything to work so far that I've wanted to get working.
I'd try them both out and see which works best for you.

And just let me say that in no way was I dissing fpse. It is most definitely the "faster" of the two.. and has better compatibility overall. But you mentioned final fantasy and I have to mention that I tested ffix on both and px4droid (the newest one, I haven't had much success with anything older than 3.0) just was better for that game. Plus it supports antialiasing which I really notice on this small screen in comparison to a computer monitor. Anyway happy gaming, PM me if you have any emu questions.. btw food for thought- anybody think once we get some quad core action going on in android we might be able to get a pcsx2 port going? That would be sweet.

I have recently got my Xperia play and it feels so incomplete without the gaming add-on.

First of all, though there are many places calling PSX or PSP disc images "ROMs," a ROM file is actually a dump of a ROM cartridge and a dump of a full disc structure + contents is called an "Image." The relationship between emulators and ROMs is the same as between data files and the applications to open, and edit/interpret them. For example, you might use MS Paint to open a bitmap file or Notepad to open a text file. If the operating system was not aware of what program to use to open that file automatically, you would have to launch the program first and use the File>Open function. This is essentially how you will be doing it on any Android device. Now, just like you can't open a Super Nintendo ROM with Microsoft Excel, you can't open a Sega Genesis/MegaDrive ROM with a Super Nintendo emulator. The emulator was written to understand SNES ROMs and would need to be two emulators in one to understand and play a Genesis ROM.
So, you first need to get the emulators you want installed, then copy the ROMs you want to the SD card, then launch the correct emulator and point it to the desired ROM. There are a few extra steps involved.
First, most people are oblivious to the fact that most of the emulators available are blatantly stolen and ported from open-source PC emulators. Half the reason they were open source was to be ported to other platforms like this and have the work and credit shared. Instead, hardly any SNES emulators on Android even mention SNES9x and many port authors have the audacity to charge for something they did not create! Do not support these crooks. For example, it's very easy to find the official Android port of SNES9x by searching on Google. It's called "SNES9x Ex" and it works as well as or better than any of the others on the Android Market. You can find official sanctions ports for most popular emulators. Start at a classic resource like vg-network and work from there.
Next, you need to enable installing from unofficial sources before you can browse to, download, and install the emulator. I'm sure you can figure it out.
After than, you need to download the ROM to the SD card. Me? I usually dump the original game cartridge from my collection, but if you download from websites on your phone, you will have a very hard time! Most downloads will fail or come in an archive format that the emulator does not support, like 7zip format. At least most emulators support standard zip format, but if you get a rar or 7z file, you need to use an app or PC program to extract the ROM file from inside.
Remember, ROMs only work with emulators made for their specific platform. Except for arcade ROMs being used with MAME, it's best to organize them by platform. Make NES, SNES, Genesis, N64, PSX, GB, etc sub directories/folders inside your ROM directory/folder. Place it somewhere that's easy to find on your SD card.
Launching the emulator, look for the "load" function if it doesn't already take you to a list of files. If you are not already on the top level ("root") of your SD card, look for "sdcard." To move up a level from a sub directory to its parent folder, some user interfaces have you pick two dots, which is a relic from the command line days (one dot is the current directory, two dots is the parent). Use this knowledge to browse and find the ROM file.
The emulator should know what to do from there. The specifics or playing and configuring a particular emulator are up to you., Keep in mind that not all games will work. You may want to try games that you know work with the particular emulator first so that you will not waste time troubleshooting something that isn't your fault.
Name says it all. Basicly want to know if i can run old exexutable files to install on the android tablet possibly in dex mode.
Reason why is i have alot of old games for pc like age of empires id like to port over to my tablet for long travel trips if possible.
Any and all feedback is appreciated. I do have the snes n64 ps1 emulators but i want to test the ability to play pc games with the keyboard and mouse
https://dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/android/
or
exagear for android
or
dosbox depending on versions of games
or scumm for very old games
Splashtop or rdp might work
You can use Steam and with a fast enough internet connection use cloud service like https://vortex.gg
I'm not sure if you can add your own games to their library. I have a gaming laptop so haven't used it.
