Dreamcast and Saturn to Android? - General Questions and Answers

Hi,
The Android OS has some amazing emulators. the PSX is here and soon will be a N64
*Link will come once new user restriction is removed so people can sign the petition*
If one looks at the PSP and Open Pandora scene you will notice that there is a Sega saturn emulator available on PSP and a Sega Dreamcast for the Open Pandora
Currently a Sega Saturn emulator could run on Android phones. A Dreamcast may or may not be possible until future hardware upgrades. Android phones update thier hardware much more frequently than Open Pandora and the PSP so developers can bring high end emulators to the Android operating system sooner.
The key benefits to developers with the Android Platform vs the Open Pandora or PSP platforms are
1: The Developers can actually sell the emulator's and make quite a nice bit of profit (optional)
2. Android reaches a far larger amount of users than the Open Pandora and PSP
3. Android phones are much more portable than Open Pandora and PSP
If you feel that our Android phones deserve more attention than the PSP and/or the Open Pandora please say yes to this Poll. Hopefully we can get enough people to post so we can see a working Sega Saturn/ Dreamcast emulator here in the future
Sincerely,

You got me excited for no reason.. I thought there were actual emulators in development. Very misleading title.

Someone has managed to emulate the two SH2's using a mobile processor?
The Saturn is a horrific platform to emulate, if this is possible in the current gen I'd be surprised, if it's playable I'd probably faint!

That noise was the sound of 12 people getting excited...
I don't know anyone who has played a Dreamcast or Saturn in the last 10 years.. Seriously.

I still own both xD

The Dreamcast has some great games and so does the saturn
Shenmue, Panzer Dragoon, Dragon force, Skies Of Arcadia
Please sign the petition
People have done the Sega saturn on the PSP and the Open Pandora has a Dreamcast. It is possible to bring it to Android which is a much larger market than both of those devices together.
I would do it if I could

If someone could get it working on a PSP Slim then they can do it on Android.
There is an emulator here yabause use (.org) This was already ported to the PSP
the PSP runs off of Linux so any dev who could get the source from that project would have a huge head start to port it to Android.
Then he can just use the same type of interface Yongzh and Zodttd do on their emulators and a lot of the leg work is done.
All that is really left is upping the compatibility and tweaking things.
From what i understand (very little) the PSP Slim runs off Linux as does Android at its core so it would not be such a long shot.
The Dreamcast is actually much easier to emulate as well which is why it is on the Open Pandora and the Sega Saturn is not.
The thing is if they would just direct their work to android the Open Pandora would be outdated. Why lug that around when you can have it on your phone?

drk|Raziel is working (I am testing) Dreamcast emulator

Meh just get a dreamcast and play them at home ;( there's plenty of games for the phone

I thought there were no functional saturn emulators? I spent a long time looking for one on the net, but never got one. I would really like to play guardian heros

I Still Own & Play My Dreamcast..I Would Like To Play Powerstone 1 & 2,Marvel Vs Capcom,Best Games For The Dreamcast..I Signed The Petition....I Thank All The Coders N Hard Workin PPL For This Modding Scene

OMG!!!

I know it'll probably be a good while before anything is playable, but the proof-of-concept gave me an overwhelming feeling of nostalgia!! I've always dreamed of a day where I've be able to play a portable version of the Dreamcast. I killed hundreds of hours playing Phantasy Star Online while my parents and family were sleeping because it could only be played over dial-up at the time LOL
Can't wait to see some progress on this bad boy!! I still have my DC in the basement somewhere. Never had the heart to sell it.

If you want it developed, dont sign a petition, do it yourselves! anyone want to start a team

an N64 emulator on my tablet would be fantastic! :O

Any progress on this so far? Surely the Samsung Galaxy S2 could manage smooth Saturn emulation...

[Proof of concept] Sega Saturn emulator

I just wanted to point out that a sega saturn emulator for android is in development but in its current state it is VERY slow and can only currently load the bios, however it does boot and it does accept d-pad input.
Update: Can now play games and now works much faster
Also I am not the author of this emulator before you start asking.
Thanks to paulscode for building the apk I am using.

Here are instructions on how to create a build on ubuntu
* you have CMake installed (apt-get install cmake)
* you have the Android sdk installed
* you have the Android ndk installed and a standalone toolchain (see STANDALONE-TOOLCHAIN.html in the ndk documentation)
Update your PATH environment variable with :
* path the standalone toochain "bin" directory
* path to the ndk top directory
* path to the sdk "tools" directory
so... something like that:
# export PATH="$PATHath/to/your/toolchain/binath/to/your/ndkath/to/your/sdk/tools"
then create a new directory and fetch the sources:
# mkdir yabause-android && cd yabause-android
# svn co https://yabause.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/yabause/trunk/yabause
At this step, you'll need to edit sources as the sysroot is hardcoded. In src/android/android.cmake, update the line:
SET(CMAKE_FIND_ROOT_PATH /home/guillaume/projects/android/toolchain/sysroot/usr/)
to point to your standalone toolchain (something like path/to/your/toolchain/sysroot/usr/ )
# mkdir build && cd build
# cmake ../yabause -DCMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE=../yabause/src/android/android.cmake -DYAB_PORTS=android
# make

Update!
The emulator is now able to use the dynamic so it has a huge speed boost.
Most games still run slow but one of the testers on paulscode found a game which runs full speed.
Heres the video he made:
This is compareable to N64/PS1 right? So no problems like hardware s not strong enough?

saturn does require a bit more power than N64 and PS1 but there are still a lot of optimisations that can be done to make this faster. This is a very very early port, absolutely nothing has been optimised yet.

Saturn is a dual core console. I remember it was a headache to emulate on Linux, Yabause was pretty much the only option and it wasn't that great. I hope Paul and team can bring more awesome sauce to the Xperia Play!

Ah that might be why then, emulating two cores with 1 will take heck of a lot of power but I think we could see this reach near full speed in the future... or at least better speeds than the DS emulators haha.
I used yabause on the wii and psp and on those platforms it ran very slow. Keep in mind that the psp and wii can emulate PS1 and N64 very well.
Thanks for this news. have tried pauls concept app, its nice to see other things from psx and n64 being worked on.
ps. i saw in one of your posts that you got an app to record your screen could you please let me know what its called thanks alot.
Awesomeness greatness and what else would you expect

The app is called screencast, its great for recording normal apps but it will slow down your phone while its running so it will make n64 and PS1 games lag, other emulators should run with minimal lag.
Def some Saturn games I'd love to play on here. Good luck!

As much as I promote giving Xperia PLAY's games a shot over emulating stuff from decades ago, having NiGHTS into Dreams mobile would put the sex in SEXplay.
...oh, and having a portable means of playing Shining Force III that doesn't whittle away my desire to play the game in setup frustration would be grand.

There is already a DS emulator but it is VERY slow just like this saturn emulator.
hmm... might be worthwhile on the xplay 2, dont really see it getting too far on current gen hw. then again we have n64, as dodgy as all the emulators for that are unfortunately..

I bet soon as dynarec is added that will open a window for opengl emulation. So it should run great then.

The dynarec is there but it doesn't seem to be linked up yet, also its slow for the reasons I stated in the youtube vid.
Haha yeah I didnt think you lived in wales too.
Devs should be working on Atari Lynx etc and filling in the classic systems we are missing. Neo Geo Pocket sells well after people saying it wasnt worth it for a long time

I'll be damned... looks like Xperia PLAY will (kinda) be a PSP Phone after all.

PSP Games Coming To PlayStation Certified Devices
"The Entertainment Software Rating Board has listed several PSP titles for “PlayStation Certified Devices”, including Syphon Filter: Dark Mirror, Daxter and flOw (presumably the PSP version, not the PS3 one) and a whole bunch of Pinball Heroes games based on popular SCE properties – Fat Princess, ModNation Racers, Motorstorm, Wipeout HD, High Velocity Bowling, Hot Shots Golf, PAIN and Uncharted.
If the PSP games will be available on all PlayStation Certified products, that will include Sony’s S and P tablets, the Xperia Play, the Xperia Arc and Acro in Japan and the upcoming Xperia S and Xperia ion."
I remember the days when they flat out denied the rumors that Xperia PLAY would be a PSP Phone. Technically, I suppose they still could though since Xperia PLAY is it's own legitimate PlayStation Certified experience with it's own games instead of just being for PSP games.
OMG i hope so much this will happen!!
In the list is Uncharted! I think the title says it all.

it's an Uncharted table for Pinball Heroes
The Sony Tablet S comes with Pinball Heroes and all those tables mentioned. I've been playing the game on mine.
Its like Crash Bandicoot. It comes preloaded on the tablet but it's not available in the PS Store yet.
Great news to hear about Daxter and the other. I love Daxter
This is exactly why we need good programmers for the Xperia Play
Because then we can take the PSP emulator they are using to play the games and reverse it to work with any PSP game ISO.
That would be ultimate and would get people interested in the system.
I suspected from the beginning that it would at least play PSP minis like the PS3. The timing of the Team FailOverfl0w keys and hacks and subsequent developments was too late in the development of the phone to change anything that may have also been vulnerable to it, hence, they hid, and delayed the functionality. I always thought that it was intended to do that and possibly full-blown PSP games except that the functionality was possibly removed and abandoned when the PSP and PS3 were blown wide open.

I think it'd be more like a PSPminis wrapper than an emulator and I've suspected that it had some hidden PSP DRM and such all along. Any serious PSP titles would need to be ported or have some hidden hardware support in the phone.
I opened the PS Store with my Japanese PSN account on my Tablet S and found 3 free games. I can't read Kanji but I found this article describing them http://www.bemreview.com/2011/12/sony-tablet-controller-ps3-with-software-upgrade.html
Ape Escape Academy
Piyotama lite
QRuToN lite
both Lite games seem to have PSP buttons on the screens but Ape Escape has the PSP buttons and two on screen thumb sticks. What's weird is none of these games have the Save Progress function when you quit like all the PSOne games I've played do.
I'd also like to mention Pinball Heroes has no on-screen button controls, just touch controls but it was also originally a PSP game.
they better get god of war id be so happy
This great news. I've been wanting PSP games on my Play from the very moment I started using it.
The only sony phone I ever truly enjoyed was the c905. If they would remake that and make a universal charger and 3.5mm audio jack instead of their large obscure sony charger, they would probably have more clients. The new xperia wasnt that big of an eye catcher, sure it was like a psp but other than that it was like the other xperia's. The firmware was slow and updates for crashes/bugs took forever.
Sony has started on a downward spiral. They need to create something amazing to bring me back as a customer

There is nothing that says for use that the PSP games that end up on this phone will be emulated. Its very possible that they have (as CZRoe mentioned) some sort of wrapper on them to get them to work natively with the phone, but it likely has custom programming for each game.
We will need to see what these games look like (on the back end) before this is even something to consider possible.
Aaawwwweeeessssooooommmmmmeeee
i'll kill myself , if psp game port on xperia play
oh my god !
finally WE HAVE PSP PHONE WWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOWWWWWWWWW

Not a bad start, lets hope more games are added to the library on a regular basis. More PS1 titles wouldn't hurt either.
...Hmm...PSXperia...
PSPeria methinks?
Its about time! Too bad we will never be able to play any of our previous digitally purchased games on the play due to different system (processor, OS, etc.) unless Sony ports all the games then based off your Network Purchase history will allow you to rewdownload the Xperia Play version for free. (I wouldnt hold my breath, this has always been a gimmick with Sony to make money off games they already have, and have reached their shelf life) I.E.... UMD Games, the digital games for the GO, that you had to re-purchase, now it will be Xperia/Arc/S Tab etc ported versions you will have to purchase once again!
wow i can't wait to play psp games on my xperia play
It would be awesome with an official android optimised emulator of the PSP, similar to the one used to get PSone games running; I would love to play all of the DJ MAX games on my Play

Keep dreaming. Sony made the PSP dev kits to allow quick porting to PS2, PS3, and other platforms. PSP minis all compile to run on both PSP and PS3. So, it's either out-right native ports or a code translation engine with wrappers for natively unsupported functions and system calls ala cXbx. Either way, it will take a commercial level of effort and understanding to make each title function and this will be required per title.

GBC.EMU (replace your gameboy emulator with this!)

Another fantastic emulator from Robert Broglia who has given us wonderful emulation (for the first time) of the Neo Geo Pocket and Turbografx 16, this time he has taken on one of the Market's staples - Gameboy.
I know there are many Gameboy emulators out there but this one really sets itself out from the pack by giving users (for the first time on Android) the ability the GBC had to add colour to original Gameboy games! You can even choose which of the set pallettes you would like a game to have, possibly even matching it better to the correct colours than the original Gameboy did!
This is along with all the Xperia Play support (and those other weird addons) that you would expect with the standard features of his other excellent emulators.
This one is a definite 10/10 and a MUST NOT MISS for all Xperia Play owners. Since downloading this I have not touched GBCoid, the added colour breathes life into the Game Boy library and you find yourself enthusiastically playing through games you played for a little bit than left with the colour options.
The emulator runs great, you can also map Save state to 'volume up' to allow it to be within easy reach!
Another interesting thing is saves from GBCoid seem to load here! (not sure if this is just for some games though)
This thread would be a good place to suggest the best pallette for games I think - perhaps we can turn the OP into a definitive list? As you guys post the right fit for games I will add them to the OP.
Adventure Island - Pastel
Mario Land 3: Wario Land - Yellow
Here is an example of original gameboy games with colour added by this emulator:
Adventure Island/Wario with the choices above look much better than Pokemon, which seems as if Pastel may be the correct colour choice. Zelda looks great with all the colours seemingly spot on!

I've already replaced all my oids with .emus, and have been recommending that everyone do the same.
My only regret is that I can't kill off all my -oids until Broglia makes a GBA.emu, SNES.emu and GG.emu
Well, his Snes.emu is actually SNES9x ex plus alpha, and is freely downloaded on his website. Check it out, as it is imho one of the better SNES emulators out there. At least it plays Star Ocean like a boss, where others choke hard.
+1 for SNES9x.
@TLR, you should definitely check it out. It replaced my SNESoid long ago.

All the *.EMU are available for purchase on Google Play
Here is GBC.EMU
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.explusalpha.GbcEmu&hl=en
Im actually pretty shocked TLR didn't know about it, it was on the Market for a while before being removed because of licence complaints from others (despite fully conforming with the requirements that im aware of) and has always been amazing.
As to why you would use these emulators over the ~oid ones, 2 big reasons; They are more compatible and run better, and the second being linear filtering... that **** plagues pretty much every emulator on the market and all the other rip-off emulators you see around, some of them do have the ability to turn it off, but at the same time are hampered by ads, poor speed, or a crappy interface.
Robert Brogalia is responsive and helpful in my limited interactions with him, for an emulator he provided, for free, without ads he added changes to snes9x and by extension the rest of his emulators at the time so that I could use the volume rocker on my Milestone as an L trigger as well as other suggestions.
They are to my knowledge the best emulators available for their respective systems on the android platform, they are simple and do their job well, and that is why you pay that small entry fee IMO. Apologies for the rant... Xp

Well... that's because I don't really pay much attention to emulators.
I'm more of the opinion that Xperia Play is great without having to piggyback off of SNES, GBA, NES, PSX, Genesis and such (hence why I've flat-out refused to add a "emulators" section to XperiaPlayGamer.net despite the requests)... I'll get a bit nostalgic every blue moon and relive something I grew up with for a couple minutes... but by far and large, my biggest appeal in the Xperia Play is playing the Xperia Play Optimized games that are new, fresh, current and actually take advantage of the hardware... so yeah, I won't be too knowledge-rich when it comes to emulation (FTR, I was very late to ditch my -oids for .emus too).
I think I like supporting the devs and having the best of the best emus more than actually using them
If you are in the UK the magazine Retro Gamer is a fantastic accompaniment to the Play

Hope Robert will implement 1.52 core at some point because 1.43 is pretty fast but makes the snes tune sound wrong.
There's some debate as to which SNES emulators are the best. Snes9x Ex and Snesdroid (just found about this one and not yet tested on our phone) are derivatives of Snes9x. Snes9x Ex is based on 1.43, whereas Snesdroid is based on 1.52. What this means is that 9x Ex supposedly runs faster, while Snesdroid has generally greater audio quality and compatibility,
Market link
This port is not going to run fast like other Android ports no older hardware. SNES9x 1.52 has vastly improved audio compared to what all other Android ports use which is SNES9x 1.43. SNES9x 1.52 also has tons of minor bug fixes and the higher compatibility. Works fine with Xperia Play controls right off the bat.

The OP describes the difference between the Game Boy emulators
while i think GBC.emu (and the rest of the .emu series) is probably the best emulators out on android, and this is going to sound REALLY nit-picky, but i can't help but miss the cheat function that were in the -oid emulators
i know NES.emu recently added CHT file support but will the rest of the others get any cheat options soon? just wondering

It's made by Robert ****in Broglia!!!! That's what makes it so much better.
I jest, I jest... I don't actually have this one yet, but I do have all of Broglia's other emulators, and I can tell you that this dude's serious about quality assurance... to a level that most other emulator devs haven't been.
Can someone who has this test the public domain GBA homebrew game Wonkie Guy? It's not even a full game, yet it's been one of my favorites for near a decade... and more importantly, every other GBA emulator I've tried curled up in fetal position and started bawling every time I tried to load it.
Brilliant. I bought his GBC and NGP emulators and they both worked flawlessly, so going to buy this to replace Gameboid. Top notch :good:
Might sound stupid but can you map the dpad to the touchpads in this emulator? - Thanks
Gameboid works good for me but my biggest problem is the graphics look blurry from the upscaling. I would buy this emulator if there is a setting which adds filters to make the games look "better"
I hate to say it but I think people should wait before buying this one. Having bought and now had a chance to test it, I consider the performance of it to be much poorer than Gameboid.
Noticeable on-screen judder during playback with frameskip enabled and slows to a crawl when frameskip is disabled. Sound isn't much better. One can only hope that this gets fixed and much improved with further updates.
The reason I bought this emulator is because all the emulators by this developer allow you to turn off the blurry graphics in the settings, unlike Gameboid and other emulators.
The emulator however is a bit slower but at 1.6GHz all games I tried were full speed to me.
Hope FPse does this (touchpad) in the future, will definitely get this app.

Question?
Does it support Netplay or emulated cable link? for example Mario Kart or Pokemon games
Games like Castlevania Aria of Sorrow, Metroid Zero Mission run laggy in GBA.emu.
In gameboid doesn't happen.
Went ahead and bit the bullet.
It plays the games that failed to load on Gameboid. I am satisfied

Glad to know it runs better overclocked for you. I don't really want to do this, so I hope the dev makes the performance seriously better than as is.

Seeing as none of his other emulators have cheat capability (if that is incorrect plz correct me) on Android OR iOS I doubt it. And I have both versions (Xperia Play and iOS {5.1.1 Jailbroken on iPhone 4S}) and often sound is a problem in some games like Sonic Advance 3 where all you hear is the music and nothing else (like jumping noises, or other collision noises) and the sound is crap without frame skip to 1.

New PSP emulator for android just released. Some games already run at full speed!

Description
PPSSPP, a PSP emulator prototype for Android.
PPSSPP is a prototype PSP* emulator for Android (and other platforms).
It's still in very early stages and does not run many games. It's provided here if you want to try it, so that you can automatically receive updates over time - over time this will probably become a usable emulator.
Please go to http://www.ppsspp.org for more information.
IMPORTANT: Please do not give bad reviews due to low compatibility. It takes time.
NOTE: No games are included with this download, you will have to dump your own PSP games and turn them into .ISO or .CSO files, or simply play free homebrew games, which are available online.
* PSP is a trademark of Sony, Inc.

Do the rrst of you get crappy distorted boxes when loading a game? Then again...I tried N+...it was a no go.
Sent from my R800x using xda app-developers app
I tested the following games.
Bublle Bobble Evolution
Call of Duty Roads to Victory
Dragon Ball Z Tenkaichi Tag Team
Worms Open Warfare 2
Puzzle Bobble (This was the only thing that worked)
For what is seen is quite low compatibility list yet.
It is seen that only light running games with few graphics.
Let's wait and see how this project progresses.
But very good start.
Developers luck and thanks for your great work.
Looking forward to this. I just want Need for Speed Underground Rivals. The best NFS game for me so far!! Played it for nearly the whole time my missus was in labour with my boy, 20+ hours!!!
very good news
i love psp and NDS

Sound works (a little broken) and runs near full speed but a little lag. Some of the colored balls also do not show (some textures missing) apart from that great first version and cant wait to see more.

Would love to see this playing Crisis Core at some point
wow remember when all the noobs would ask a million times if the phone would play psp games...well now....better start making my collection again....i recon peeps better buy the 64gb card
Guys, if this runs with little lag on some guys and tons of lag on other games, imagine what it's like on the S3.
And good job to the dev. Time to test out some games.
