I was thinking about checking this emulator out to finally (maybe) play FF7. However, when I looked at it in the market, there were a lot of complaints about it not being updated anymore, and some performance/playability issues? Has anyone recently tried it on recently released phones (I have a stock DroidX)?
plays great on my incredible
There are many problems with the emulator. It will only run SOME games okay. The games it runs just seem to be random.
FF7 will work just fine... seems to be an easy game to emulator. However, another simple game like Castlevania: Symphony of the Night is unplayable.
Most games are probably unplayable if you like sound. The sound is so bad on most games that you have to mute it.
The list of games that work perfectly is probably under 20... and most of those are games you don't care about
The emulator is no longer supported by the developer. He even made a comment on twitter saying "what needs to be updated?"
The emulator ignores the phones GPU and only runs off of the CPU... so faster phones don't get any performance gain. It also needs a ton of compatibility fixes, as there are so many games that just do not work.
With that being said, if the only game you want to play is FF7, you're in luck! Is it worth the money? Not if you ask me.....
Is there another PS emulator that is better supported, and works with more games?

There is no other PSX emulator
Haven't tried it yet, but grab it quick... emulates 0.37b5 ROM list. Yes, it supports Xperia Play buttons.

Nice find. Testing romset now
I prefer this to jrioni, it has a better user interface.
Games run at good speed, just as good as jrioni, and I find the sound better in this.
Still no save states that I can see though.
Posting for tiger kings emulator to own them all. Mame needs save states to be functional imho. I play for 5 minutes at a time at work and can't progress in games without save states.
The good thing about this emulator is that it saves all your high scores. with Jromi you have to manually save and load your high scores.
My Metal Slugs and CPS2 games dont seem to work though.

They are *arcade* games. They're only meant to be played for 5 minutes at a time. Only purpose for savestates is if you are cheating your way through a game with infinite quarters.

Totally disagree with this.
Some games take 30+ minutes to beat and complete. Some are even longer taking 1 hour+ to beat.
You forget that this is a mobile device. Which means you are playing games on the move.
People playing on trains, aeorplanes, cars, 10 minute work breaks, sitting at the bus stop, sitting on the toilet (yea i do this ), etc etc etc
You want to continue your game, but at a later date.

This sentence makes zero sense if you sit to think about it.
"Infinite Quarters" are there whether you have save states or not
Completing metal slugs, alien vs predator, final fight, street fighter, strider, rampage, ghould n ghosts, heck LOADS of games take ALOT longer than 5 minutes.
If you played ghould n ghosts for 5 minutes at a time, you would forever be playing the first level.
What is the point in that?
Yes, it is inconclusive, save states ARE needed.
However i have some unfortunate news, MAME4ALL will NEVER have save states, since it is based on a version of MAME that doesnt have them either.
Our only hope is to see what magic Tiger King can produce.
Anyway, no disrespect to Jrioni, i was one of the people that loved and bought his version of Mame.
I support him ALL the way.
But this version of Mame i prefer, the UI is superior to Jrioni. And since it is free, there is no need to purchase Jrioni anymore.
Anyone who wants to play Mame games, this is now the best version.
Glad I held off from buying Jrioni now. Was waiting for save states.
This seems better, though without save states as well.
...and to say Save States are not needed on a mobile device is well...I'm not going to get into it again...but its pretty stupid.

does Mame4droid support dip switches?
reason why i ask its pointless playing mame games for me on medium setting, i like to crank the difficulty up on games, otherwise no challenge !

No it doesnt.
Which is quite annoying because i cant change the analog sensitivity for games like Paperboy, which is unplayable on Mame4Droid because he steers to the left all the time.
Jrioni's graphics seem to be a bit better too. Mame4droid is a bit blockier.
Sound and speed works best on Mame4Droid though. And Mame4Droid is far more user friendly in setting up screen sizes etc.
mame4droid support dip switches u can enable it during in games by pressing select+start at the same time will bring up the menu, only the bad side is the graphic blockier but enable smooth graphic the games lag if it can fixed this then this is the best emu u can get for play.
Does the APP comes with roms or do you have to download them if so from where?! does the app run well on the sony play?

Yes!
Dip switches work.
This is hands down the best Mame emulator for Android. The only thing that can top this is save states or support for newer ROM sets.
Guy above. Don't ask for roms here. They are easily findable with any search engine.
for the roms to work with this Emulator what file type do the roms need to be?
It tells you on the market download page

I must be doing something wrong because even though sound is a bit better than Jrioni's, this emus is much slower, almost unplayable. So I will stick to Jrioni.

What games are you seeing that are slower?
For instance Three Wonders, and Mortal Kombat 2 does not work. On a second attempt I uninstalled it and downloaded from Market and works fine now.
FYI Three Wonders works perfectly in Tiger Arcade 2.20
I'm trying to put this on my ATT Captivate and I can not get the games to show up on the program. I know that I have the right versions of the games. After installing the program, I checked the SD card to see if a ROMs folder was created. There wasn't any so I created a ROMs/Mame4all/roms folder which didn't help. I tried to move the program to the SD card, but I couldn't see the folder when I put the card in a reader. What am I doing wrong?
Never mind. It was on the phone. I was able to see the folder after plugging the phone directly into the computer.
OK so lately I finally bothered to take the plunge to finally grab a mame emulator I was just to lazy to start getting the games back etc.
So my question is exactly what kind of games cab you get running on these emulators personally I want killer instinct working but to no avail will it work, I'm using mame4droid ATM but I've only had a few games working pacman, space invaders, bombjack is what I've tried so far

tiger mame i think is the best plays most games i want like streetfighter 2, alpha2, alpha3, the third and all metal slugs plus have the save state did try killer on an older version but did not run http://apps.tigerplay.info/ have ago its free
Since i want to play all metal slug episodes (and not just 1 & 2), KOF 2001, 2002 and 2003, Street Fighter 3 Third Strike and other recent roms, i have no choice: TigerArcade
Tiger Arcade. absolutely. Plays NeoGeo CPS1 CPS2. And it has multiplayer support.
Sent from my R800x using xda premium
Still completely useless to me as it doesn't run any of the MK games. They are the only games I actually want to play on this and they don't run.
hi gusy
market is blocked on my cauntry , also buy tiger full version is blocked on m,y cauntry .
tiger arcade have save/load status , i don't know how can i use tiger mame full version
Killer Instinct will not run on the Xperia Play. The versions of MAME being used are far too old for it to work.

I play Killer instinct on my phone via Tiger Arcade. And it is actively still updating. Its just that the app is no longer oin the android market. The app is free however if you want to use save/load states it costs $5 to purchase, I paid and its the best thing. Nothing like playing Dungeons & Dragons with save option.
I have played Killer Instinct and Mortal Kombat on here before, I think though on the newer version the Killer Instinct no longer works, however MK does. I think v2.02 was when KI was working, but dont quote me.
It is on the SlideMe market:

I can assure you MK does not work in tiger arcade (neither do MK2 or MK3). I tried it just yesterday.
MK1 works on mame4droid, albeit with glitchy sound and occasional slowdown.

I got Worms from the Google Play store, but it doesn't seem to have gotten me the Xperia Play optimized version - there is an optimized version, right? Where do I get it?
I'm also interested in NBA Jam, but want to know where I should get it in order to get the proper version. I'd prefer the Play store though, if there is a way to get it to give me the proper version. I'm on an r800at, unlocked bootloader, running Gin2Jellybean - and I was able to get the proper version of the Lara Croft game from teh Play store.
I also tried picking NBA Jam from the game launcher which took me to the flexionmobile/gstore, and I found a copy of Worms on there, but it doesn't seem to be the optimized version either.
Thanks,
~Troop
NBA JAM sounds broken according to all of the R800x reviews https://play.google.com/store/apps/...SwxLDEsImNvbS5lYW1vYmlsZS5uYmFqYW1fbmFfd2YiXQ
but they do mention the buttons working
NBA Jam from the play store works fine on my R800x... unless some update killed it... I haven't played it in like 2 weeks...
NBA Jam works fine on my Play, purchased it in Play store, I did have Worms which I purchased from the Xperia game store and it was optimised, but I have since reinstalled my OS and lost the APK. Not actually thought to try and redownload it. Should imagine it would work fine though once logged into EA.
I got NBA Jam from the Play market and it works great. Shows up in the launcher and the controls work! ^_^
Now, if only the same were true of worms, guess I'll pester EA! >_>
~Troop
i wanna got the idea 2, but is there anyone who can give an answer?
I don't think there is an optimised version of Worms.
NBA Jam from Google Play works great.

I haven't tracked down an optimized version yet either, can anyone verify that an optimized version exists? or does not exist?
Also, what's the best way to contact EA to ask about this? Their site didn't seem that helpful in providing an easy e-mail support link.
~Troop
I bought my EA Games from their own Store called Flexion Store. But i´m a R800i user, don´t know if it works for R800at, R800a, R800x users.
I can also confirm that NBA jam is working fine on my r800x.
As far as Worms, I think I had stumbled upon this, but hadn't really watched this video:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GpdiT20g9AY
It does appear that the controls work (though the video is poorly lit), though that is a foreign version of the game.
Still don't know where to find it optimized though...
~Troop
So,
Firstly I don't know where to post this because there is no section for mobile phone gaming which is a bit weird. I hope it gets moves to the right section by the admin.
Secondly, I found an amazing app that you can use to play PC games on Android without even owning a PC. I played games like fortnite and GTA v easily with on screen controls and sometimes with a controller. It is very good and you feel like you have a console in your hands stronger than ps vita.
Here is the video of how to do it
mod edit
Give it a try and let me know what you think. I have tried it on note 8 and it is super smooth.
According to your description,I think it sounds like clound games.
As far as I know there is a app,it's gloud games.
You can get it in under url.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=cn.gloud.client.en
It's need high speed network.And these servers only in China.
So if you aren't in China,you need a vpn.
