Okay, I will start by saying that this machine has been great. But samsung just didnt want to put everything in one phone! not yet anyway...( bad for their long term economics ) . Ok so general complaints are that this phone is 320x320 and does not have 3g for 850 (US). the mouse thingy can be set-up as a slide bar instead of a mouse so it's quite okay.
The 320 x 320 screen causes plenty of incompatabilities with programs, specially games because most games are simply unplayable if they dont function correctly with taps of touchscreen etc. Since we wont have our own section here in XDA, let's pool our thoughts here.
Lets keep this organized and you guys can go as detailed as you guys want. Genre etc. fix or games that do not work. Also put if you're using realvga as some games that work normally do not anymore under realvga.
I will start.
I have 2 games that are my favorite.
More games Orions
More games Azgard Defence
Warfare Inc. (works well)
More games Enslave (installs perfect but this game is just alright.)
I did not want to throw my games away so i tried to find ways. Also this thread would help those who have not bought the games
W/o realvga these games are simply retarded. wont even fit the screen.
Used realvga 96dpi
To get these games to work,
After installation with realvga these games work. The problem is stylus is off and u cant even enter the serial key.
It appears to the side and the location of the taps is the same except it's about an inch down.
1. Enter the serial by guesstimating the height differnce.... you'll get this with patience.
2. Once you have entered the serial, go to options and click reverse screen.
3. SAVE, Quit and reload, now you have a working orions and azgard defense game with proper taps, etc.
So guys any good games out there you can suggest and working and not working fixes. and list the ones that just plain dont work so it saves people time and money.
SPhynx
Games 99% compatible
ScummVM with what games it supports, works 99% perfect.
You just need to rotate screen 2 times to display "portrait" and everything is perfect .
(After first rotation, there is an issue with tapping, you must click under rotation icon rotate screen again to get portrait mode)
After that all the games works fine.
This makes the list of the games that work with the device way longer....
UNO installs and plays well
Kaboom cannot make it
Bejeweled can load but 2 side have black space .. making the game small
Big2 cannot play on i780 ..
what else ?
Games that work perfectly:
Atomic Cannon
Asphalt 4 Elite Racing (AWSOME GAME)
Dark Street
Holy Beast
Amiga Invastion
Mini Golf 2
EA Monopoly (Here and Now)
Pocket Uno
Resco Brain Games
is this games for free? where can i download it?
thanks
Found this earlier while on the Nook Color forum...Apparently the app was ripped from a HTC Flyer. Anyway, It's pretty sweet to watch the Arena mode live games that are going on all over the planet...The brag videos are cool as well. Curious how the latest FPS runs on a fully optimized pc and server? Be sure to check out (finally) all the Duke Nukem greatness.... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1138194 You do have to create an account (free), It's WiFi only, of course, and maneuvering thru the panes and choosing options is a little dicey on a 4.3" screen (better on a tablet like the Nook), but once you choose a game to watch, It works wonderfully. Apparently there will be a player app coming soon. Those with Roms that support HDMI out should DEFINITELY get this...Check it out.

I installed it as well on non-rooted Android 2.3.3. I thought the video was a touch dark, and had a touch a video lag/drop frames/skipping. Though, those could be the phone or the connection to OnLive. Overall, none of it was anything to ruin the experience.
There is a preference on the phone that lets you set the data cap for bandwidth of either HD (3Mbps) or SD (1.5Mbps).
I did notice not all the games on OnLive were available to spectate such as Bordlands, NBA2K11, and Mafia II. This could be some kind of licensing issue.
What are the best scrolling shooters available that work with the XPlay controls? I've given R-Type a go and was wondering what others recommend
AirAttack HD Make sure it's the Xperia PLAY version!
There's also a game called Overkill. It's not specifically Xperia PLAY Optimized, but it works perfectly with the D-pad and X to shoot.
scrolling shooters? oh there are dozens but here are my favourites(long time STG fan.-)
for some shooting goodness fire up FPSE Emulator and get the following PS One Games:
-Salamander Deluxe Pack Plus(Salamander 1+Lifeforce AND Salamander 2 included,Salamander 2 is just great!)
-Gradius Deluxe Pack(Gradius 1+2,classic but i personally prefer Salamander)
-Gradius Gaiden(best of all Gradius imho,japan release only,nice graphics,much more accesible than classic Gradius)
-Parodius Deluxe Pack(Parodius 1+2,classic)
-Sexy Parodius(completely whack+hillarious..)
-R-Type Delta(best ps one shooter,period)
-R-Types(R-Type 1+2)
-G-Darius(some twisted shooting action with different paths,long bossbattles and psychedelic style graphics thrown in)
-Einhänder(the only Squaresoft Shooter,still great)
-Thunder Force Verfect System(great!)
on Genesis i highly recommend Contra:Hard Corps(they should have named it Contra:Hard Core,its really a challenge,its contra on speed) and Gunstar Heroes,intense shooting action,also the Thunder Force Series,on SNES Axelay is great also the SNES Contra
Neo Geo:Last Resort(great R-Type like Style,very challenging),Aero Fighters(Sonic Wings),Pulstar,Viewpoint(isometric unique style but frustrating),Shock Troopers(really really great one!),Metal Slug 1-5,Ninja Commando
Tiger Arcade(CPS2):Mars Matrix,Giga Wing,Progear no Arashi,Ecofighters,1944 The Loop Master
and finally if you want to see something very intense and weird or just for the fun:
fire up an NES emulator and get the game RECCA:Summer Carnival 92.its an japanese game especially made back in 1992 for a shooting game competition called summer carnival.thats just insane what they did with the very limited NES hardware,you won`t believe that this is a NES game:there are a mass amount of ultra fast bullets and enemies with no slowdowns,huge bosses and the music is great also the stages backgrounds are really tripping you out,its an adrenaline bomb-)
no actual games will give you the joy and challenge of those oldschool shooters,trust me..and finally,thats what the xperia play is for:emulation .-) when i see such half assed ports like R-Type where there is no option for turning off this touch overlay even with "xperia play optimized" stamp..really better to emulate
There is a port of Tyrian on the market. You have to configure the controls through a non obvious interface, but it is probably one of the best vertically scrolling shooters ever made.

Psone:
R-type Delta
Einhander
Snes:
Super R-type
R-type 3
Tigermame:

Now you are my favourite person on the whole internets.
i tried to make it work via dos emulators, but never worked.
just like Raptor: Call of shadows, wich is my fav dos based shooter. Somehow you can make it work on android, with full controls, but i never found the way to do it.

what app/rom setup do you use to get this working? looks like a good one
Blazing star is awesome, as is Pulstar (both NeoGeo). Dont forget theres GigaWing (CPS2) All three of these games, and many more, are playable on the awesome emulator Tiger Arcade Game Emulator, or TigerMame on the android market. Remeber though you must have the original games in order to have the roms. I only remember these games because I dumped enough quarters into the arcade games as a teen... Oh and if you like the Turbo-Grafx 16, Sinistron is pretty good, not as good the above ones but still fun.
So in a nutshell:
NeoGeo:
Blazing Star
Pulstar
CPS2: (Capcom Play System 2)
Gigawing 1 & 2
hmm tiger arcade is giving me graphics issues and control issues. I see the text and coin graphics but nothing else... also cant seem to map the controls to the xpderia pad. ah dear
What version of Tiger Arcade do you have? Mine works flawlessly on my xplay.
My settings for Tiger Arcade. V 2.2.0
Orientation: Landscape
Scaling Mode: Stretched
Key Mappings:
-Up - Dpad up
-Down - Dpad down'
-Left - Dpad left
-Right - Dpad right

Button A - X
Button B - Circle
Button C - Square
Button x - Triangle
its the one currently on their site:
http://apps.tigerplay.net/

hehe some CAVE goodness..there are many CAVE bullet hell/manic shooters,main problem is:they are mostly vertical/TATE shooter and this is unfortanetly too small on xperia plays screen,you simply can`t concentrate on the ships hitbox(except Progear no Arashi which was made together with Capcom and is a horizontal shooter)
but if you want some really manic shooting i strongly recommend to fire up a pc mame emulator,for instance there is a extra lagless SHMUPMAME version,you can grab it on SHMUPS.COM,turn your monitor to vertical and try
-Donpachi(classic)
-Dodonpachi(my favourite till today,beautiful drawn sprites,great soundtrack,big explosions,supernice bulletpatterns)
-Dodonpachi Daioujou(ruthless one,you will throw your controller/stick onto the wall .-)
-E.S.P.rade(first in the "ESP" series)
-Espgaluda 1("easiest" Cave Shooter)
-Ketsui(Hardcore!)
-Guwange(probably the most stylish one if you are into japanese settings and oh boy the music in stage 3..)
-Dangun Feveron/Fever SOS(THE Disco Shooter,fast and frenzy.-)
all of them are great on their own! there are also numerous ports of the newer CAVE games on xbox 360(Mushihimesama Futari,Espgaluda 2,Dodonpachi Resurrection,DeathSmiles 1+2,Pink Sweets/MuchiMuchiPork are the ones that come to my mind).simply put CAVE are the masters of bullet hell shooting .-) i`ve got an old CRT monitor standing vertical with a arcade stick just for all the vertical shooters .-)
and for Blazing Star:yeah i totally forgot that one,really great shooter!
i`m personally really enjoying Mars Matrix and Giga Wing on the Xperia Play cause they have some sort of full screen vertical,which i didnt like on the big screen but for the Xperia Play its perfect,from the ps one games its Gradius Gaiden and the Salamander Deluxe Pack which i like the most.
so I recently got myself an Xperia play for the purpose of doing some awesome classic gaming. The retro GBA, SNES, GENISIS emulators have been working flawlessly so far, and even N64 isn't all that bad.
However, now that I wanna try PSX, a conundrum arises for me.
I can either use FPSE (the unofficial PSX emulator) or the Playstation Pocket (official emulator) by making the custom iso's through my various downloaded backups.
I just wanna know which one has the overall faster and smoother experience and features.
The games that really wanna play are:
FFVII, VIII, IX
Vagrant Story
Metal Gear Solid
Alundra
Gran Turismo 2
GTA 2
Castlevania: SOTN
FPSE is far much better. No problems with games that You have on list. Savestates in any time You want and need (not just one like in psxperia). For me - only one con of psxperia is the fact that iso of CD is packed and takes less memory on storage card.

Some game doesnt work on psxperia... other have problems... but i still use it... fpse is great but kinda slow sometimes...
FF7 looks better on psxperia... FF9 works great except theres no sound in fmv... and theres some text problem in some zone...
The main differences are in compatibility and touchpad support. If you don't use the ICS beta, FPSE doesn't support analog touchpads and this could be somewhat of an annoyance. On the other hand, PSXperia has many many compatibility issues, has only one available savestate. The apks you use in PSXperia are much lighter that isos, though.
PSXperia has a better emulation, but has a lot of problem (for example Vagrant Story with the software rendering freeze during some videos but goes flawlessy, without it has a lot of graphic glitch, but don't freeze) and it is not compatible with all the games, FPSE has a good emulation (the only problem that i have was with Persona 2 Innocent Sin, but it is easy to solve with another emulator like ePSXe), but the graphic quality isn't the same of PSXperia
How can i change format from 16:9 to 4:3 in fpse? I tried "Original Mode" under Video settings with no luck. All games are in 4:3 and not 16:9 like xperia play screen.
On PSXPeria format is correct but games like GranTurismo2(Simulation Disc) don't work.

Oh? GT2 doesnt work with psxperia? did you try sofware mode? cause mine works...
(Simulation Disc only) It starts but when i try to select a car or start to take a licence it closes to homescreen. Software mode when i convert isos or in pspocket settings?
If you are on ICS use FPSE. If on 2.3.3-4 use PSXPerira.
FPSE > PSXPeria
I appreciate what the devs did with PSXperia, but for general compatibilty, ease of of use and features, FPSE is all over it.
