FPSE and PSXPERIA: Which one to use?

It's a good thing that we have multiple options in terms of emulation. So which emulator should we use and why?
Obviously if a game works for one and not the other, the choice is clear.
But what about games that work well on both? What are the differences?
Ultimately the choice is your own, but know that there are subtle differences between the emulators.
The native emulator appears to have some filtering going on when SW-render is on, and higher res models when SW-render is off. The native emulator also seems to have more stable frame rates when a game works.

A bonus for using the native emulator is this:

Analog support, Hardware Acceleration, Playstation Pocket compatibility. All reasons why I will be using PSXPERIA whenever possible, and FPSE in other situations. Tekken 3 for example, no contest, the PSXPERIA version beats the pants off of the FPSE version. Your screenshots speak volumes.

Yeah alll the games I like work fine of PSXPERIA

For me, the only negative things with PSXPeria compared to FPSE are:
1. Lack of easily configurable options. Just to fine tune that game!
2. Lack of a multiple save state system that is quick to use.
That's all at the moment.

Yeah what we need is the Sony Emulator devs to be in this forum

lack of multi disk support, lack of compatibility .....
And you guys wonder why FPse devs cant be bothered adding touchpad support, if i was them and i came here, I'd igore the play users too

The few games I like gets stuck with no graphic, just black nothingness within the first mission, with psxperia but with fpse they work without any graphic glitches.
Even more the analog touchpad does not work correctly in those games either.
So I choose fpse any day as of now and if they implement analog touchpad it would be a signed deal for me. Further more it has far more settings to finetune to optimize the gaming experience

In the prefrences.xml file, the bottom line says:
<boolean name="Analog Mode" value="false" />
Try turning it to true .... maybe the sticks will work

Lots of games are single disc, but lack of compatibility?!?!? Ive compiled over 50 games thus far. I have 35 flawlessly working games now. Id say thats a pretty good ratio for something that was never supposed to work in the first place. To enable analog support you have to go to controls in the menu and change to option 6. Works amazingly well in Crash 3, Spyro 3, Need for Speed 3, Tekken 3, and the list goes on. This is what the X-Play was meant to be!

Strangely the native has PERFECT FMV, something schtruck said was difficult to emulate.
Oh and psxperia runs faster too and less graphical glitches from what I tested
Oh and its free and the UI is soooo sexy

It is difficult to emulate if you didn't create the console and have access to every minute detail of its internals.
About FPSE not adding the touchpad support, it's a choice of theirs. However, my money is as good as any other user's. If those users get updates so that their device can run FPSE better, so should I.

Id love to Try PSXperia but every time I've asked a question regarding how to even set it up I've been shot down for being too inexperienced. I think one of the most common lines Iget is that if it's too complicated then I shouldn't bother. I guess I'll be going without Xmas dinner this year too
For all the help I HAVE had, the amount of replies to the above tarnish my opinion. Its like an elitist hive and woe be tide if you dont know what you're doing and you're made to look a complete child amidst what I can only call technobabble. I've had to resort to PM's and YouTube tutorials due to the amount of rudeness I've received on here.

I never knew where this meme came from. However, you've made me use it and educate myself by googling the origin of the meme. For that, I thank you. And as a bonus reward, the PSXperia guide that the DEV himself (who by the way has been absent and probably won't come back), penned for us: https://github.com/yifanlu/PSXperia/wiki
Oh, and the thread where the whole PSXperia thing is covered: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1201532

Actually, he hasn't. Or at least not half of it. And I don't think it's for the money: he seems like a really helpful guy and not a mercenary. However it doesn't encourage much additional effort that after doing his part of the deal, half of the ones who pledged refuse to do the same. If the bounty was $200 and all of us had paid, I'm sure he'd still stick around here and do his best for us.

I totally agree about the people that pledged money and then refused to pay. I was especially disapointed with one that was ment to be a developer too. *CoughFrAsErTaGCough"

Neither can properly emulate final fantasy 7 or chrono cross
***Update***
Well PSXPERIA with sw turned on does seem to be able to emulate ff7 pretty well -SO FAR.

psxperia was the default xperia ?

Stupid Modern Combat 2 Controls? I think I found a way...

From reading these two threads (THIS and THIS), I assume no one has yet discovered this. But if someone else had come up with this solution before me, then make yourself acknowledged now.
I just found this out last night when I was trying to get myself used to the new controls (BUT I REALLY CAN'T) because I haven't really finished this game before the new update came out... and jeez I bought it 5 months ago! Unluckily for me, the original installer disappeared so I requested another from Gameloft and they gave me the updated one with the stupid controls. This is for anyone still interested to play the game despite it being old, though a still good shooter for the Xperia PLAY imo.
I noticed that when using the Left Touchpad to walk while using the Right Touchpad to aim, it seems there is a conflict on the way the game registers the touch inputs that is why we have a ****ty aiming control.
RULES:
Use the D-Pad instead of the Left Touchpad to walk.
Do not use the Right Touchpad to aim. Instead, use the part in between the two touchpads: that Hourglass-like figure between them. They seem to mimic Rainbow Six controls. Refer to photo:

It's not a very good fix but it should do the trick. I had difficulty passing To the Embassy Mission because of the aiming controls, but it became so easy last night. Besides, you still have easy access to Reload, Switch Weapon, Grenade, and Use buttons instead of using the touchscreen.
Try it out for yourselves and let me know what you guys think. I'm using MC2 version 1.0.0 (that ****ty version) so it must work with you, too.

Can't you post a video playing it so we can see? I don't know if I wanna download the whole game again just to try ^^
I've played Fast Five on my iPhone. it sucked... imo

MC2, the best game to use our touchpad.. OooOoOooppss.
Narf, you sure that the part in between will work on our control problem? I'll try this since I really want to finish this game.. But for now I'm thinking what game to delete first on my phone..

i second that
i second thaat post a video of you playing with those controls

I always use the D-Pad to move than then the right touch to aim, as long as I have a light touch and I use auto-target it works well enough to finish the game. Also I sometimes use the left trigger to bring up the gunsight and make fine adjustments on the fly.
If I am using a mounted gun of some sort I just use the touch screen with my right forefinger and hold the Play with my left hand, and click the right trigger with my left forefinger, works pretty well.
It could be better but its really not THAT bad, I play this game online almost daily and hold my own pretty well.

Well i guess it kinda depends on your preference though. I find it easier this way that's why i wanted to share it.
Just finished the game 2day. Perfect MW clone. Haha
Try it RL & let me know how it is..

It doesn't work for me :S
The area between the touch pads?

Simple solution; revert back to 3.3.9.
The controls aren't great there either, but they're so much better it doesn't even make any sense.
How's Gameloft gonna upgrade and make something worse? Surely there's a play-tester there that checked this out and said "Um... guys? This controls like ass! You can't seriously expect people to accept this."

Actually, you'd be surprised.
Many many moons ago I was a play tester for Acclaim entertainment. They ported over a 3DO game to Sega Saturn and PSX called "D" that I went there to play test for a few hours. It was one of those old kinda linear first person puzzle adventure games. One of the first things I noticed and wrote down was that the game into included shots from the game, and a LARGE portion of them gave away the solutions to the puzzles in the game. I managed to beat the game in my first play through because of it. So of course when they asked for my feedback I said "well you gave away all the solutions to the puzzles in the intro, you need to either cut that whole part out or change it to not show puzzle solutions" A couple other testers who were there told them the same thing.
4 months later and the game was out on Saturn and I worked in a video game shop so I tried it out, and of course, there was the intro with all the puzzle solutions. They just never learn.

(I remember that game, BTW! - My dad was a big Sega Saturn nut and he owned it... I think he still does too)

well at least we're making things meet with what we have.. what else could we ask for when this is what they gave us? we're not game devs, we're just customers trying to enjoy things, and if the offer doesn't give what we expect, we improvise.. apart from that, it's what makes us the higher mammals..

The analogue pads are a nice idea too, although we feel that in most games they haven’t been implemented too well. Hopefully, this will improve over time as developers get used to the hardware.

PS: I lost (didn't even know how) my 3.2.8 installer of the game so I made this thread to help out others like me. GL gave me 1.0.0 version when I asked them for an installer so if you have other solutions other than making things meet with the 1.0.0 version then better keep them to yourselves.

I'd say I agree with the notion that not enough developers are using the touchpads right, but the more rational-logical case seems to be that Gameloft's just being their usual incompetent selves...
...it's just very bad timing now since, like it or not, they are the biggest and most popular support the Xperia PLAY has.
Looking at a larger scale, most other devs ARE making good use of the analogs touch-pads. Samurai II Vengeance and Age of Zombies play like a dream. Dead Space is wonderful, AirAttack HD plays so smoothly that it made me get into a genre a typically don't like. DARK and Guerilla Bob work well, the Guns n Glory series and PewPew series flow very naturally.
Glu won't stop making games that are actually alternate Gun Bros skins for the life of them, but their games do work well with Xperia PLAY analogs. All the sports games control very nicely. Spacetime's MMOs play nicely, and Silvertree's quickly becoming a major player in the Xperia PLAY scene as well.
Gameloft actually has some good touchpad controls too. Sacred Odyssey force closes like it's goin' outta style, but damn that game feels good to play. BackStab, Assassin's Creed, Dungeon Hunter 2, Spider Man: Total Mayhem and especially AVATAR also have great controls.

AVATAR? I don't know... I'd have to disagree...

I was a big Saturn guy too, to the point I bought a Japanese one! Amazingly I was able to sell it for WAY more than I expected after the Saturn was discontinued and Dreamcast released.
Speaking of D though, Its funny back then because it had all that FMV it was like "ohh ahh" and sold pretty well, but also like many games of that era, it has aged quite poorly. Today if a console game was released like that, that literally could be played through in one 2 hour sitting (and was played in real time with no pause or save), the devs would be vilified!

I am doing well my friend. How have you been? I hope your hands are doing better.

Yup, I'm well too, and hands are much better, thanks for asking .
And about topic - game downloaded and tested - it's preety nice, all buttons are optimized etc. (even touchpads!), but I'm thinking is this possible to run in the future (via some skill or something) - in start, I can't which means the game little less dynamic and fun. Except that - with not so big size (~160mb) - it's worth it .

Nice game, Needs some bug fixes but fully optimized and don't look bad either. Thanks for the heads up on this one.

PS. sorry to just place this in a random thread but could not be bothered to write out a thread and this comment saying thanks. :silly:

I noticed the same with 1star in many threads...But don't think too much about it buddy - I had the same feels when I worked on DX8 for X10 - my thread has all possible degrees/stars, cause of some haters. We can't do anything - these guys are just f*ckers and they will stay - just chillout and still do yourself - cause you're doing this for 100 stars for me .

Woo.. Thats 1 hell of a statement. But yeah, y bother with all that. Don't matter much to me. What matter is what this thread contents.
To topic - And the game's kinda slow to me. So i'll just transfer this to my laptop to all my finished/bored/un-playable games collection.

You know what's interesting about this post? I was promoting this game on another forum in which one of the responders judged it after putting in an insignificant amount of time... and later changed their tune completely after they'd actually invested enough to give a proper judgement.
I'm just sayin'... if we all made our conclusions and gave up in the first couple minutes, no one would have seen Taken (2008) turn from "meh" to the action flick of the year.

If anything, I'd chalk it up to the non-stock rom/kernel. Every time I hear that something's not working right, it's usually easy to discover that the ROM of question has the inputs configured too strangely for the software to detect it (but it's mostly O/Back conflicts).
Unrelated to the above two posts, I'm trying to figure out ahead of time how many chapters this has. I understand using the limited free game to lure in people who are cheap, but I wish they'd have followed a more traditional way of IAP so that I could just pay one time to get all chapters instead of buying chapter by chapter.

@TLRtheory: LOL you got me there. OK I'll admit perhaps I did not invest enough time in it. Got to the first boss, beat it and said to myself: There is no way I could find this enjoyable.
Trust me I have seen enough ****, er I mean games, to be able to decide at this early stage if a title will amuse me or not.
BTW even the Castlevania games (which this is trying to mimic) I found boring after a few hours.
I actually could not force myself to finish them without applying some cheats. YMMV.

I'm running this game fine with Gin2JB & Doomkernel. No probs at all. I didn't Play this as much coz it kinda slow for me. But i'm really enjoying "Wild Blood" tho.

lol that makes more sense. You actually are far from the first I've seen that's easily bored with Castlevania games so I can definitely see how it's imitator would be an instant turn-off. Despite paying full price for CoD: Zombies and making a big deal out of getting Dead Trigger on Xperia Play, I'm actually very tired of seeing all the damn zombie games.

Well then there goes my theory lol... Wild Blood is awesome though. If I didn't have a date in a few then work immediately after, I'd have already had that on XperiaPlayGamer with video coverage

I had the chance to play this since it is free to play now and i am a big fan of these type of games.
Initially very laggy, i have to turn on swap partition to remove lag.
If you are used to this genre or if you give some effort, you would not need to pay anything. The character starts out to be totally bland, but slowly gains castlevania type movements in the game. Has ghost n goblins style jump (hard to control jump while in mid air). Has weird double jump movement, doing the double jump early gives more momentum than doing it at the peak of the jump.
The guns are too powerful, i only used the sword on some plot boss where hitting him with anything gives him temporary invulnerability or when doing some self-restricted challenges.
Grinding is easy since there is a spell that grants you gold on every hit. You can rack up experience by repeating easy boss fights.
The translation is hilarious, so bad its so good.
Not all demons fight. For example, if you have EnbornX, you can get an item from a Demon, otherwise he just spouts nonsense about girls in outer space. One demon even challenges you to jump over some creates. This is actually harder than some boss fights >_<. I learned to control my jump with the air kick lol.
Not as good as Castlevania/Metroid and the like, but still decent.

Hello everybody, my brother and I are both programmers and we decided to quit our current job to start a game company here in Brazil. Today, after 5 months of hard work we have finished creating our first game. It´s not so amazing or groundbreaking, but we learned a lot while we were developing it.
All the assets (game art and sound) that we used are CC-BY and can be found on the internet. This was a major challenge, to create a graphically nice game with no money to spend on game art. Our main idea was to create a 2D platform game, where the player needs to accomplish 3 main challenges on each level to earn the level's stars.
The first star is earned by just completing the level, the second by completing the game collecting all the coins and the third one the player needs to finish the level as quickly as possible and under a time limit for each level.
The player can upgrade the game character by buying upgrades that increase jump and speed. There are some items that will help the player complete the levels easily like the jetpack and the ice boots for the ice world levels. All the items can be purchased with the game currency which is collected during the game.
I would like your help to get some feedback, basically in every aspect of the game.
I hope you enjoy the game and if anyone has any doubts on how we created anything, just ask me.

You quit your job, spent 3 months making a game and didn't thought about saving some money (not that much is needed actually) before quitting your job? I'm sorry buddy, but it seems really wrong to me. Although, I have no rights to judge you, so consider it as an advice: think twice before making important choices like that and, about the game, using creative common graphics must be avoided at all cost. It definitely makes your game unattractive and unprofessional, even knowing that you are an indie game developer with not much to invest.
Hope this helps and sorry if I was too hard on you.

Hi,
First of all, well done. It's a polished game nevertheless for a first game. And six months too. That's simply wow!
I see you guys have put some attention to the Newtonian physic
As the previous user have said, it's a tad bit risky to quit your job altogether to develop games. But hey, I'm not here to give life advice, after all, I'm almost in the same boat as you guys too.
I've just finish making a game and I made that during the night while doing my postgraduate study during the day (please check out my game ) and it took me two years.
Making game is fun, so, if you have the passion, I would wish you all the best in your future. Indeed, some famous people made radical changes in their life before becoming successful.
P.S. Just my opinion, it feels a little dull not able to squash those "enemies" like Mario do.
Cheers,

First of all, thanks for your advices. Our decision about quitting our jobs was not taken without a lot of thinking, this is a plan of about a year. We saved enough to live a year with no jobs. We tried hard to find a designer here in our city, but all of them want really high salaries and almost everyone didn't shared or dream to create games. We choose CC graphics, because our main goal with this game was to learn all the process from project to market.

Here is my game,

and my thread,

Anyway, it seems like you guys need a designer or something. I could help a bit I guess since I own my copy of Adobe creative suites. If you check my game, all of the assets are made by myself (including the backgrounds). Well, if you like my work, I could help make some assets for you guys.
Regards,

I just saw your game. Looks great. And I don't have any games in my phone. I don't play games. But this is something I'll try.

Also, at OP, just downloaded your game. I find it ironic that the play store comments are all great reviews, and the rating is 4.9, yet the first reply here thought he knew everything. He is proven wrong.

I feel honoured. That's some of the nicest comment I've ever read so far. Thanks a lot.
And if you have any more feedback about the game, please leave a reply on my original game. Sorry OP for hijacking your thread
Cheers,

Nice
I played the plastic version of the game as I was a child...

I tried the game. It's fun and the music is great. I can give you a small advice. If possible, make the buttons a bit... more clickable. Simply make them better. This is where the user i touching, where he is pressing. I think they should give him the urge to press them Otherwise, nice game. Good luck! :good:
Edit:
And I continue to misclick the back arrow. I simply click between the button and the end of the screen. I don't know why. Just saying

I like the style of the game and the sound effects are great, any plans to add multiplayer?

Great! Looking forward to that And btw, if you want to thank someone, just click the "Thanks" button on the post. It will be much appreciated

[GAME][3.1+] Flip the Bricks

Hi Everyone
I am new both to Xda developers, android, and developing in general in fact I only learned how to program 1 year ago. And so I would greatly appreciate it if you could give me and criticisms, suggestions or pointers! Here's the link to my game on the app store (it's a simple game):

EDIT:
Hi Everyone!
Thanks for trying my app. I have just updated it with more features, but I'm not sure whether these features are good or if they should actually be removed so I was wondering if you guys could play it and tell me your opinions on it! Thanks
1) Coins - So now there are coins that you can collect to buy skins of the bricks, I'm thinking of expanding this further by allowing the player to buy power-ups but we'll see.
2) Ads - Yeah so even though I get so few impressions/installs I do like implementing ads since it feel like I'm actually making a product. Anyways, I recently decided to switch from using admob with mediation of Leadbolt and decided to try Appodeal. Though I'm not sure how good this is. Not in terms of money of course but rather about the user experience. If you can let me know if there are any ads that are "****ty." (That's like the only word I could think of).
3) Difficulty - So yeah, I know some of you have said that it's already really difficult so I was just wondering if adding the coins to collect make it too difficult.
Things I've noted but have been too lazy to implement:
- Help dialog (yeah, it's very archaic and non informative)
- Some of the coloring (I personally think it looks ugly, but I don't know what colors to use)
- More mechanics/levels
So yeah long post but if anyone could help me by playing my app either again or for the first time, I'll be really thankful!

Any suggestions or comments would be greatly appreciated!!!

All good, but screen often blink.

Could you please clarify what you mean by the screen blinking? Like when does it blink? Thanks

Hey. Just tried your game. Really like the clean graphics and one touch gameplay. Gets hard very fast! I don't mind but might scare some people off. Maybe you could make the balls go a little slower to begin with and then gradually increase speed. Just a sugestion
Great job! (will post review on Play)

Awesome app name [emoji12]

Indeed it's an interesing concept, I like it.
I don't have a lot of twitter followers, only around 200 or so, but I will tweet about your game if you want. Any particular message, hastags and link you would like me to use 1DEA?

Thanks for the review! Hmm so unless you are playing a really early version of my app (like the one I submitted to aptoide, I never bothered to update that since the interface is so clunky), one "spoiler" about the mechanics about the game is that all the balls take the same time to drop whether it's just one ball and brick, or many balls and bricks. The thing that actually changes is the intro delay, aka how long does it take from the starting animation for the ball to actually drop. You think that it would be better if instead I kept that delay constant and changed the speed from slow to fast, or do you think a mixture of the two would be more fun and enjoyable?

Haha anything would be amazing! But I have something to confess...I don't use twitter . And honestly it confuses me the whole deal with hashtags and stuff . But I guess something along the lines of challenging or difficult would be good lol. Thanks for taking the time to play my game!

Sure thing, we indie devs have to stick togheter, don't we?
Here is how I made your tweet look:
Wanna flip bricks the hard way? Check out this challenging app

No worries. Oh that's cool, I didn't consider the intro delay, that's fine then I think to keep the speed constant. And I got a bit further when I played some more so I guess I just needed som practice. You got me when the whole thing started rotating though! That stuff really screws with your brain! I would maybe have eased that in a bit, starting with one brick/ball that's rotating, if I were you, to let the players get a feel for the new mechanic.

Hmmm I see cool thanks! I actually have more "levels" (I think they would be called levels lol) in mind and will implement them in the future! I will definitely add a rotating level for the early stages in order to get players more used to it at later stages.

Looks interesting, tried it out and it definitely is challenging. Good job on the app!

It's good and challenging, responding to your previous post, one thing I noticed is that maybe it gets a little too difficult, too fast. I find that the rotation of the bricks happens too quickly, maybe wait a bit longer before you introduce the rotation part, and probably slow it down just a little bit. Otherwise I think the game establishes a good challenge and is entertaining

Hmmm ok, I will adjust both the speed of the rotation and the difficulty progression of the game. Thanks for your input!
