General Unexpected good mobile gaming rig - Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4

Had an idea to check and see how well past generation console emulator runs on the Fold 4. It was susprisinglying easy to find the various apps needed and all without needing to 'root' the device.

Obviously pirating is illegal ans I should say I already own all the original games that I have got ROM/ISO files I put on the device today. Add in a wireless controller and earphones it makes a great mobile gaming rig all without needing Internet connectivity.
With native upsampling and aggressive anisotropic filtering through the emulator am pleasantly surprised how smooth a sub VGA PS2 game can look on the Fold.
The difference is quite visible, ploy counts are the same, just one is literally much rougher around the edges.
Even PS1 stuff like TOCA is looks OK, certainly by 'mobile' game standards.
For stuff like GT4 and UT, makes the visuals much more 2010+ vs 2000.
Very little battery consumption when using the emulators too, barley more than Web browsing. I recon easily 4-5hrs usage from 85% SOC.

Are there any preinstalled games on these emulators?
I have only been PC gaming and all my games are on steam so I have not got anything for these old emulators to play on.
I don't suppose you would know if there is anyway to use a windows emulator or some kind of VMware or HyperX for androids to run windows on non rooted devices ?

Check out the GooglePlay reviews if you aren't convinced, hopefully you like what you will read
what? NDS Emulator?
Game ON with Pokemon games!!!
although gaming session will only last only few hours, probably 40 minutes without charging...
Oh men that's sweet, i'm NDS fan. Have you played some pokemon on S2, is the performance good?. they should provide a free test or something to check that out.
I hope you could buy it via paypal :/.
EDIT: Sorry, over reacted, seems the thing is still early beta, so games that run are slow. Well nothing new then, hope he gets somewhere soon.
Well from my own experience with v1.7 (huge improvement over 1.6 btw)
Pokemon games play at an edurable pace. It also seems faster then nds4droid but again I think that might just my thoughts.
This is however this is the most worthwhile purchase I made from the play store recently

[Q] how about a ps2 emulator on note 2?

Could a ps2 emulator be possible on the Galaxy Note 2? if not could someone help me understand why because I know that the Galaxy Note 2 has a 1.6 quad core processor but I don't know what that compares to a ps2 processor I tried looking it up but I don't understand what they said really 300mhz seems really low dose not comput
No there is no PS2 emulator mainly because of the complexity of the system you would need to emulate and not the raw power needed to run the games
When emulating u need waaaaaaaay more power than the original system how much more depends on how good the emulator is and how complicated the system was even though the ps2 only had a 333mhz processor it had a separate graphics processor I mean the graphics that were there is comparable to what we get on high end android games which means that the graphics processing we have now it's around the same and we waaaaay more to emulate <--- problems not to mention that people have been having problems with a ps2 emulator on pc the system is just too complexed and a emulator is a long way off on android at least a fully functional one

Use Nexus as a monitor (kind of)

I know you can use the N7 as a second monitor or even a PC itself. I wanted to ask a question slightly more out there.
Is / would it be possible to output system (PC) stats to display on the N7? I have a Logitec G15 v1 keyboard that has the LCD screen on it that runs little apps on it. My N7 can sit right up over the top of it and act as a bigger and better screen. I would like to know if it was doable to run an apk to display those programs, or something like it pulling info from the PC along with maybe some other useful PC info. Kind of like running RainMeter but instead of on the PC have it display everything on the android via Blutooth, USB, or WiFi?
The things you mentioned are definitely doable, hell, the sky is the limit. It's another matter of who will make these apps.
Figured I would update this because I found what I was looking for and if there is anyone else wanting something like it, here you go:
This app has everything I wanted and more. Its perfect. And its FREE!

Just for the sake of archives: you can use the Nexus 7 as a secondary monitor of a Linux by using VNC. http://askubuntu.com/questions/28608/how-do-you-use-an-android-tablet-as-a-second-display

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
You can do something like that in Windows too and there is plenty of info on that already, but what I was looking for was live system stats. Not an actual secondary monitor. I wanted to be able to keep an eye on CPU/GPU temps and fan speed along with other stats.

We Tested Google Stadia in India - Our Experience.

Hey Guys, Today here we will be sharing our experience with Google Stadia. Specifically how it works in India or in any country where it has not been launched yet.
As you all know, With Google Stadia you can play high-end titles on your TV, Laptop, or even on your Android Phone. That's exciting.
We will tell you how we tried Google Stadia being in India where it currently isn't launched. And how can you try it in any country where Stadia isn't launched yet. Also, share our experience.
•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
Q. How can we use stadia where it isn't launched yet?
A:- The idea is simple & basic. All you need to do is to Use a VPN (Free or Paid doesn't really matter as long as you're getting the minimum Speeds i.e 10Mbps as per Google claims. And then you can simply go to the stadia site & sign up normally as you do for any service.
•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
Our Experience With Stadia, Using in India:-
** We were still getting around 40Mbps of speed even after we were connected to VPN. So speeds should not be an issue here for us.
To be very honest the experience was quite not great. The Stadia page loads fast, The games do load fast but the problem was inside the games, there was lag & latency. And it wasn't playable, to be honest.
Maybe it's because the Data Centers being too far from the location hence resulting in High Latency & lag.
•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
If you want to understand this better, We have made a full detailed video about this. You can check it out here:-

A Microsoft/Nokia Feature phone (Windows 10 Mobile) inspiration, may be something to look at?

Ok before you laugh, have a look about the internet, I was frankly stunned by this old news, as I would have gone all in on a Microsoft/Nokia Feature Phone. I would still drop my Android in a heart beat to have this. As for years I ran an Old Audiovox SMT 5600 WinMo 5 candy bar phone, even with the T9 text it did all I ever wanted phone calls, texts, and music in my pocket. None of the fancy streaming or data collection crap with facebook and it's evil partners
Any way I stray away from the Topic.... Sources for the Microsoft RM-1181/82/83
Windows Central Zac Bowden did a write up of a hands on.....
https://www.windowscentral.com/microsoft-feature-phone-rm-1182-windows
Nokia Power User also had pics and a write up
RM-1182 was a Microsoft-branded Feature-phone
RM-1182 seems to be a Microsoft-branded Feature-phone
nokiapoweruser.com
A YouTube video of it's startup, prototype password stuff
Then to my surprise a few are in the wild and for sale.....
https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/295117884704
I would buy one, but I have no idea how much is working, what of the phone works, or how to even start to poke about and look to rip out a rom to see if other newer Hardware in the HMD/Nokia line could be made to run what ever this runs. It comes from China, so I am guessing it will take forever to get one with the world in the state it's in.
In any case just putting it out to see if anyone gets sparked with an itch. I know my itch is sparked and I have no idea how long I can hold off trying to grab one. As I have been thinking of going back to a feature phone for some time as I have no need for all the crap a Smart Phone does, but I am older and not driven by a need for social media junk.
