[Q] n64oid issues on the transfomer

I just got my transfomer last week, and so far have been very happy with it, but I'm having a lot of problems with n64oid. I rooted the tablet to 3.1, put all of my roms on a storage card, have tried versions 1.1.4 and 1.1.3, tried different max frame skip levels, tried playing without sound, but every time I play super smash or zelda mm the program closes within a few minutes. I'm using a wiimote as a controller, so I'm not sure if that could be causing this, but it's very frustrating and I would appreciate any help.

Have to say I haven't had such problems with n64oid so far. I doubt it's the wiimote. I'm using a PS3 controller and it works well, if a little bit too sensitive.

All the N64 Zelda games seem to force close on me, no matter what device I'm using. I have tried my Transformer, Elocity A7 (tegra II running 2.2), and my Epic. From what I've read around the Zelda games are a bit more demanding due to their partical/sprite count

I could see that being the case, but I'm also having force closes on super smash bros, so i don't know if there's another factor involved.

I've got a Emu thread going with plenty of members testing N64oid games, check the link in my signature, you should get plenty of help there.

I had looked at the thread (my comment is currently on the last page) but it didn't help too much. It lists super smash and zelda mm as working, when for me (on my rooted transformer) they don't work, so thats why I created this thread.

Was playing a bit of Zelda: Ocarina of Time without issues yesteday (apart from the awful controls when using the touch screen). I'm afraid I don't have anything to help you with your problem as I didn't change any settings, just installed the latest version thats on SlideME and using a Zelda OCT European rom.
The issues you are having on all devices are you using the same rom? Maybe there is a fault with that file?

[LIST] Emulators Compatibility List

I think that we should list some emulators (and details about them) that we have tested and found to be compatible/incompatible with the sensation, so that we don't waste time downloading and troubleshooting apps that don't work.
Here are a few that I found to be compatible/incompatible
FPSe-Somewhat Compatible (Tested with Ace Combat 3: Electrosphere, which plays well. Armored Core will go to the menu, but will not load into a game)
N64oid-Compatible (Tested with Goldeneye 007 and Ocarina Of Time, both of which ran perfectly)
GameBoid-Compatible (tested with MegaMan and Pokemon Fire red, both of which ran perfectly)
PSX4Droid-Incompatible (when a ROM is selected, it will go to a black screen, but the ROM will not load)

Ataroid, Gameboid, Gearoid, Gensoid, N64oid, Nesoid, Snesoid, FPse, Frodo C64, ScummVM, psx4droid v2 - all compatible and work great.
Only psx4droid v3 doesn't seem to work whereas v2 works. However psx4droid runs significantly worse than FPse (at least for me and with the games I play) so I don't see a reason for using it
ScummVM ist just awesome. Spent the last couple of days playing through Monkey Island 1, 2 and 3

I tried N64oid to play Goldeneye but it would not go pass the intro. sound would skip and just stop playing and dump me back to the rom list.
perhaps I just got a bunk rom since it's working on yours... or maybe something wrong with my copy of N64oid...

Yes Goldeneye is working pretty well, check your ROM here
Nesoid is the only one that refused working for me, Kupfel could you tell me whay version you are using??

what version of N64oid are you guys running?
I'm running v1.1.4 and I just tried GoldenEye rom from 3 different places and all three does the same thing... just freezes at the intro and kicks me back to rom list.
thanks.

Same N64oid version, but Goldeneye has always been working for me, it was already working with N64oid first release. You must have gotten 3 corrupted iso

N64oid - goldeneye works ok, slight lag but more Importantly I find it extremely difficult to play using touch screen controls. The mariokart and Mario world both work perfectly.
Sent from my nokia 3210

as for Goldeneye, don't let it play the very first video, press start to start the game or it may stop working during the video.
I asked the dev (through one of his testers) if it could be possible to have the other landscape available, thus having the volumes buttons at the top of the Sensation, not at the bottom, like a shoulder R1/R2 button. Set it as Z trigger and Goldeneye becomes really playable, as well as every game where you have to shoot
EDIT: stupid from me, the reverse landscape is avaliable for Android 2.3, I haven't checked this option since I stopped playing on my HD2 froyo to the Sensation ^^

What problem do you have with nesoid? I have version 2.5.0 and played through Megaman 1,2,3 and Metroid without any problems whatsoever.
Did any of you guys try aDosBox or AnDOSBox yet? judging by the reviews it's running perfectly on much slower phones than the sensation
and yet any game I tried so far isn't even close to playable. Just really really really slow. 5 FPS or sth.

just tried NESoid v2.5 and it's working fine.
played me some ninja gaiden.
I've been playing the SNES trilogy version... NES version is so much superior.
better control layout, better soundtrack, harder game play, and overall feels snappier.
only bad thing is for some reason on the rom I got the opening scene is not included... guess I'm keeping the SNES version around just for that.
anyway, tried 1942 on it as well. works flawless.
I gave up on the N64oid. installed/uninstalled so many times... not to mention time spent hunting down roms, different versions of the N64oid apk.
only game I want from N64 was Golden Eye but can't even play the intro.
kinda ruins the experience.
so, it's off the list for now. thanks for the help and suggestions though.
anyway, for the person that is having problems with NESoid, try version 2.5 as the poster above me have suggested. it works really well.
p.s. since we are trying to compile a list, I can confirm FPSE works great for PSX(much better then PSX4Droid), and Snes9x EX works great for the Snes and is available free on the market.

so psx4roid isn't working..and i though i had a problem with my device xD
what good playstation emulators can you recommend?

Fpse of course, the best around, updated about every week since the release and highly compatible. And much more is to come!
Thanks for the 2 guys who told me for NESoid working version
N64oid will be updated with a completly new build and core, much more compatible games are to come, more speed too.
And don't waste time looking for N64oid builds since the official version is free on SlideMe (that's where the dev had to place it after all his great emus were deleted from the market by google...)

n64oid issues? i have not had a single problem, playing mario64, mario kart64, zelda OoT, rogue squadron, starfox64, blast corps and goldeneye at full speeds.
N64oid Ver. 1.1 only issue is minor lag during cutscenes, but most are skippable

Every time i try to download fpse, it says that is incompatible with sensation ?!?!?
Is there some special version that you guys are using, or i just need to google harder ?

how about you just frickin' buy it from the market?

fpse is still very much in the market and most definitely compatible with sensation:
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.emulator.fpse
all of yongzh's emus (all those *oid emus) can be found here for free:
http://slideme.org/applications?text=yongzh
(he uploaded then there himself after his apps were kicked from the market)

N64oid 2.0 has just been out, it's on sale on SlideMe market now!
I've just bought it, now Zelda Occarina of time is smooth with no frameskip at all (better to set it to 3 to be sure there won't be some short lags sometimes)
Nice!!

Don't smack me please! But any chance we will ever see ps2 emulators for sensation? Is this even possible?
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using XDA App

nah, PS2 isn't possible. That would require a much faster CPU

Help me choose a Tablet mainly for emulators/emulation

Dear users,
ive been searching around google and xda forums for a correct answer, however most of the specific aspects of my questions are still unresolved, while i got some inputs, but i have alot of confusion.
First im an iOS user, therefore im a total noob about android tablets and hardwares.
I want a tablet powerful enough to run psx games, n64 games and most importantly TigerArcade along CPS3 games such Street Fightet Third Strike.
Im asking this because i really want a powerful android tablet that does everything that iOS does without getting an IPAD 2.
Specially i would like to take advantage of the emulators and of the flash-supported browsing experience.
So to recap i would like to know which kind of hardware i need to:
- Run psx games fullspeed (60fps) without frameskips (Ridge Racer Type 4, Tekken 3 etc etc.)
- Run TigerArcade CPS3 Games such JoJo, Street Fighter III at 60fps
- Run n64 games at decent speed
Based on what i gathered around, a tablet with Tegra 2, or a powerful (above 1,2ghz) dual core cpu should be able to run those psx/arcade games fullspeed.
My only experience with Android so far was with my dad Galaxy S 1 (should be called Captivate in usa?) and those psx games were running around 45-50 fps albeit on a single Snapdragon cpu.
I was looking toward something in the likes of Acer Iconia A100/A200 which should be both Tegra 2.
My budget doesnt really matter, but i guess around 400€ (500$).
Im looking forward to some definitive answers.
If anyone can write down some real experiences or videos i would appreciate that.
Thank you all
PS: as a disclaimer, ive took a look to the noob video (lol) and to other similar threads, but i guess mine is more specific.

Asus Transformer Prime is right now the best Android tablet for gaming, at least what I have heard. You should be able to plug in (or use Bluetooth) a controller, maybe PS3, google some more information about that. TF prime runs everything smooth but it's a bit expensive. I guess you can find the specific price in your country.

[Q] Emulator and CM issues

Basically, I'm upgrading from a Galaxy Prevail (CM7), that worked amazingly well for emulators up to SNES (never trusted passing that), to the Skyrocket. Having a bit of trouble finding exactly what I need, and run into a few bumps.
Simply put, I plan on using this phone like a console when I'm away from home. NES, SNES, Gameboy, Genesis, ect ect. Thus I went for the i727 for it's power, and good selection of custom roms, ect.
Issues so far...
CM7 - Emulators work great (yongz emulators mainly), things like youtube n such kinda lag
CM9 - Emulators lag more than they should considering the phone specs, everything else lovely.
CM10 SuperLite - My favorite rom by far, but same emulator issues.
It's on CM7 atm, not too keen on it after trying ICS and JB. I've looked everywhere for anyone that might have my issues on this paticular phone and either come up with people on stock gb 2.3, OR something not related to this phone (Xperia play, ect)
Just wondering if anyone using an i727, has it up to ICS/JB and has emulators running SMOOTHLY.
Also I know, some games on higher end platforms don't emulate well (AFAIK) on any phone (Goldeneye sadly), but N64, NeoGeo are two I've had terrible luck with, and PS1 I would like to have working if possible.
The main bunch I'm interested in as follows, other system emus I'd also be interested in: (WiiMote/PS3 support HUGE plus)
NES
SNES
GB/GBC
GBA
GameGear/SMS
Genesis/MegaDrive
N64
PS1
NeoGeo (or MAME)
maybe some A7800?
Even paid apps would be an option for me, so long as it does the job well.
Tweak suggestions a plus, preferably not OC'ing.
Thanks if you've read this far, hopefully I'm not the only i727 owner/modder who has an addiction to the classics

i use n64oid and works flawless if you can find the right framerate etc combo on certain games plus wiimote suppote i use nes. emu from market by robert works without an issue. i also use his gbc. emu as well purchased but worth it for playstation i use an outdated psx4droid file tbat has always work but has almost an invisible lag
these all support wiimote and classic controller with wiimote app from playstore if you need links pm me

Yea I noticed n64oid actually done better on ICS/JB than it did in GB. I was using Goldeneye as the test, but neither ran it too well, but 4.x done better. Probably because he still updates it, not sure. The others I think were targeted for GB and thus have issues with 4.x.
I'm going back up to the CM10SL rom, since CM7 has been makin the phone run hot if I do anything. Probably a memory management thing...

Looks like all the XXXX.emu apps run great under JB on the Sky, only issue is the menu gui flickers and shows the previous menu image under the current menu if nothing is pressed...
Porta-console side of my sky is looking quite promising!

N64 emulation on XPlay?

I have been out of the loop lately. How is N64 emulation on the Xperia Play? What emulator should I use? Is Ocarina of Time perfectly playable without slowdowns?

I recently played OOT all the way through on gingerbread using mupen64plus-ae, that supports analogs. It was 20 fps I think, so pretty much fullspeed, maybe a little bit less in Hyrule field. But since then the emulator has gotten better.
N64oid is faster, but doesn't support analog pads as far as I know, and is no longer in development; it does support analogs on ICS and newer firmwares though.

Thanks so much for the answer.
I run ExtremeKernel with Elite Gamer 2.0. A very clean and unbloated system, purely for gaming.
I have no idea what performance I can expect. But your report is very nice to hear...guess I just have to look into it .

Huh, I suppose I didn't mention that I run stock 2.3.4 de-bloated, with lupus kernel... so yea, with your setup it should run equally as good or better, also counting that emulators have gotten better.

Well about the only games you cant play are the games that need the ram expansion pack like conkers bad furday. Games like banjo kazooie. Or hames made earlier in the n64's life pkay awesomely on the play! I hipe the emus get better because I really do not think it is a hardware problem. Most emus arent exactly optimised for the specific hardware you pkay them on.
