Pretty good game. Getting some artifacting in the graphics every once in a while. Big colored polygons in the sky which actually prevent you from seeing where you're going at times. Anyone else get that?
Sweet find thanks. Just bought it.
Works fine as far as GFX goes, but it keeps randomly pausing during a race....?
Anyone else getting random pauses?
No pauses here...try turning the graphics down in settings.....however i run it with graphics all the way up without issue.

with graphics all the way up the framerate is is very crappy , in my opinion there shouldnt be a option to turn down the graphics to gain performance when your promoting how advance the tegra chip is.
It's playable on max settings but pull it all the way to the bottom and you'll notice how much more fluid it is, possibly giving you a greater sense of speed.
I dont see how you guys stand the controls on these games. Maybe its because i am from the NES age buti suck with motion controls. Sad because it keeps me from playing some good stuff on here.

this game needs multiplayer, its good game for about 15 minutes or so then never to be played again other . multiplayer would bring hours of enjoyment if they ever implamented it
I was a big Hyrdo Thunder Game. I played it when it was on the PS1.
When Xbox Live had Hyrdo Thunder last summer I downloaded. A pretty good game for Xbox live and looks good Full HD.
I knew the guys that made Hydro Thunder was the same ones that made Riptide.
I played the Need for Speed Shift game on a the Best Buy Acer Tablet. I was trying to figure out which game. I ended up going with Riptide, just because it seems like it would be a little more fun over all. (I was never sure if NFS would work on the Transformer).
The Riptide game is for the most part just like Hydro Thunder. Thats good and bad.
Good because you know what you are getting. No real surprises.
Bad, nothing really that knew. Instead of collecting Boost like you do in Hyrdo Thunder, in Riptide you do tricks off of jumps. Not bad, but takes some getting use to. I do get some flicker problems a couple of times. But Over all no real problems. I'm trying to figure out how much Battery power this uses.
Over all I think it is worth the money if you are looking for a good arcade racer.
Their isn't a lot here. You are racing a jet ski around a course.

I bought this phone for my wife and didn't think it would impress me as much as it has. The screen is simply amazing and now I'm thinking of purchasing this phone. The only thing that is keeping me from buying it is the lag when I play some games. Is anyone here a big player of games like Grave Defense, Guns n Glory, Robo Defense, etc? Pretty much tower defense games. Those are really the only types of games I play besides the occasional angry birds and homerun battle 3d. I played Robo defense on my wifes phone and it started lagging which doesn't happen on my older droid incredible.
I'm hoping maybe rooting fixes the lag problem on these type of games. Or maybe the new EE4(I think that's the name) update? Or maybe this phone just isn't that good for gaming? Either way this phone is still really good for most people, just being the tech nerd I am I want to make sure I am able to play these types of games for the next couple of years. They don't seem that graphically demanding, that's why I was surprised with the lag when playing robo defense on my wifes phone...What do you guys think? Should I hold out for something else? Thanks in advance for reading my longer then needed post, but what do you expect on a Friday night (alcohol cough* cough* )

If you root and install the app "Chainfire3d" games will run much better. Found this out today thanks to Tornlogic. I haven't tried it on my Charge yet, others have and said positive things. I tried it on my Droid 2 and it improved gaming. I'm getting a replacement charge due to a spot on the screen, once I get the new one I'll be rooting and installing this.
I've read a bit about this shooting game, it looks promising, it is Xperia Play Optimized and I didn't dislike Star Battalion, though I muted the sound as I didn't want to hear "Barrel roll! Do a barrel roll!" ever again... However, it's got a quite hefty price tag, so I would like to know opinions about it before forking out the 8 euro it costs.
I love this game. Its more like privateer and other space trading type games. The actual space fighting is pretty fun too once you get used to it. The problem is there is no slow down or speed up. There is a thruster boost you can trade for but as far as pulling fancy moves, its not really possible. But definitely a really enjoyable game! Way better than gameloft games.

Shame about the lack of speed control. Haven't even bothered buying a thruster yet though. Should have been the first game I bought instead of the gameloft tat..
I find this game incredibly laggy when there are a few ships on the screen.
The main actors voice is hilarious, though kudos to having proper voices rather than just text.
The game is ok, it's not as good as something equally as simple as Space Rangers on the PC.
Can get a bit repetitive and tedious going from system to system, but I do enjoy these types of games, it's just the basic dynamics of the warp mechanic that annoy me.
Is it worth the cash? Just.
Is it way to expensive when compared to other Android games...yes!
Has anyone tried it for the Play yet?
Apparently most games run smoothly now and the compatibility list just grew to nearly all games.

Aww it's not free? It's $3.99 on SlideME http://slideme.org/application/n64oid
Meh, if it included full touch pad support I'd buy it. Sticking with the free one I have currently when it was pull off the Android Market.
Easily worth the $4 if those claims are true!
Hope you can save controller config/settings for each game like in FPSE. N64 games have a huge variety of differing control option since there were 2 ways to hold the pad, so this would be very useful.
Alright, I've gone through all the slideme bull**** and purchased the upgrade. I'm here to give you feedback of my discoveries.
First to note, no, no touchpad support.
Second, only one new option has been added to the settings, and that's to switch between the new and the old gfx rendering engines. I also find that the frameskip option actually does something in this version.
First game, Super mario 64. So far, runs about the same, but then again it ran perfect before. One thing to note, stars show up on the doors now.
Zelda OoT; plays significantly smoother, no more huge sound raping during the title screen, or running around the kokori forest. However, the pause menu is still a mess, and you can no longer exit it without having the game lock up. Luckily, switching the GFX rendering option to "old" fixes this. More frame skipping is apparent though. Edit: I've found that another version of the rom doesn't freeze. well, it is still unstable, but it's better.
Mario Party 3; Oddly my save game remains on this one..only game so far. Runs near perfect it seems, frameskip taking care of most audio skippage that was present before.
Mario Kart 64; Pretty similar, runs smoother though, completely playable. Does the odd freezeframe while gameplay keeps going..didn't stop me from winning the cup but I can see this being extremely annoying if it happened to do it at a crucial time.
Smash Brothers: THEY HAVE FACES!!! Otherwise, seems to chug a lot more when 4 players are on the screen than the old gfx renderer. 2 players is fine.
Wave Race: Smoother during title screens etc, can get a little chunky in races but playable i suppose.
Conkers Bad Fur Day: Android thinks the app has crashed when opening this one. Hitting wait will resume as normal though. Game runs in it's full, no graphical glitches or anything. Too slow to be playable though.
Diddy Kong Racing: Runs pretty damn slick
Buck Bumble: completely playable
SF Rush 2: Some slight lag, Completely Playable though
Paper Mario: Runs nice so far, some graphical glitches on the title screen menus
Space Station Silicone Valley: This is a weird one..plays fine as a whole, animals have all the limbs etc. but the inside of the spacecraft is just...black...meaning the intro looked pretty weird. I'd say playable, but there are definitely some things missing...
Killer Instinct Gold: Haven't played this game before, not sure if it usually just throws you into the player select screen with 9 seconds to choose someone.. Otherwise, this player select screen is fairly glitchy looking, although you can still choose your player easy enough. The arena and characters themselves render fine, the backgrounds are pretty messed though. The slowdowns are pretty drastic, not highly enjoyable.
Fighters Destiny: Haven't played this one either, turns out I quite like it. No drama here, plays very smooth, no sound issues, no issues at all really. The one thing to note is you'll have to change your directional keymappings from the analogue stick to the d-pad.
Zelda, Majora's Mask: Nothing wrong yet, although the motion trails seems to be lost on this emulator. There is a little more lag than Ocarina of time, but not to the point of unplayable. The menu also works perfect in this game, no graphic glitches, and no freezing.
Goldeneye 007: Little lag to be seen here. Everything seems to work fine. I found it very difficult to play with my controls setup, but I'm sure if you majorly reconstruce your controls layout it would be fine.
Perfect Dark: More lag than goldeneye, also less stable, crashed on me on two different occasions. Playable though, with same control setup as goldeneye
WCW vs. NWO: Runs in a very vague way..lots of blackness when I press start to skip the also very black or strobing black intro. Not Playable
fzero x: Completely Playable
Harvestmoon 64: Constant Black lines and splotches hinder the otherwise fine gameplay.
Requests welcome
Please, try Space Station Silicon Valley, in the old version some character models were incomplete (dogs and sheep without heads or legs, humans without arms). I want to know if it is working now

No problem
Why slideme??? Get this on the market!!! I have been waiting for months for this, have bought all of his emulators, why do I have to pay again for an update????? This is kind of ****ty.
Can someone who bought this kindly PM me the Apk? I am not paying $4 for an update I have been waiting months for.
Alpha Tappa Lambda
Just read about his emus getting pulled. I haven't checked for awhile. Anyone know how to get a hold of yongzh? It sucks that I paid 6 bucks for this. Long time ago and now have to shell out 4 more for an update. I really don't want to make a slideme account for 1 app and don't use PayPal.

What about Goldeneye, Perfect Dark, WCW vs NWO Revenge, WWF No Mercy and Zelda : Majora's Mask ?

Haven't tried on this version, but No Mercy was fine on the old version.
There were some graphical errors on the menus, and you had to use frameskip 4, but it played fine. The challenge was getting the controls setup since it practically used every button!
ps. still the best wrestling game to this day!

I did read your original post, you answered my question about fighters destiny but not Killer Instinct Gold?
Red_Kop I know that in the old version worked. But when You play a career mode there was lots of graphical glitches (in menu and tekst) - and very difficult to play. WCW vs NWO Revenge doesn't work in old version. What about new? If it's work i'm gonna buy this app .
Wanted to chime in. Just got this in the slideme market and I've played a few games on it (stock r800x verizon, so no root and stock bloatware)
Mario Kart: Smooth framerates until I hit what seems like I hit a screen freeze (game plays as normal but the screen is frozen) pressing start a few times updates the screen then the screen "catches up" with the game. This happens every 30 seconds or so
San Fransisco Rush - kinda choppy, somewhat playable, minor graphic glitches
Beetle Adventure Racing - Hey, don't knock it, it's fun! Laggy, choppy, but somewhat playable (low fps)
FZeroX - Butterysmooth and still fun as hell
Extreme G 2 - Choppy framerate, quasi-playable (if you like stuttery gameplay)

You know this is a 2.0 release right? It's in the title. New graphics engine and all that? That means the developer has put quite a bit of work into this, and you want all that work for free? If you like the product, support it. $4 is
NOT a lot of cash for the amount of enjoyment you get out of this.

he only made about $1million out of version 1 lol. people that had just bought version 1 should be entitled to a free upgrade imo
I wanted to compare, on a stock, untouched ROM, the performance of FPSE and Sony's official emulator rendering the same game. I chose Everybody's Golf 2 (Hot Shots Golf 2), paid for it on the Market and downloaded a backup to use with FPSE. One could imagine that, since the game, the emulated console and the official emulator are made by the same company, the official emulator would win hands down.
One would be wrong.
The paid-for game stutters sometimes while executing a stroke, and the input lag was noticeable. Moreover, the game slowed to a crawl in the animations after finishing a hole, and when several keys were pressed in a short time. The game was of course playable, but it wasn't 100% fluid, which is an unacceptable outcome given the price of the game.
On the other hand, FPSE's rendition was flawless. No stutters, no input lag, no post-hole slowness, and I could smash the buttons as much as I wanted without any slowness.
I am appalled by this outcome. Certainly I like good golf games, like HSG2, which is vastly superior to GameLift's Let's Golf 2 e.g. However, I want a proper user experience, which a lagging game doesn't deliver. I'm not going to buy any nore PSX titles.
Sony official emulator? where do i get this?!

It's built into the Xperia Play.
........................................
Thanks for the observations Logseman.
I'm sure this won't be the case with every game, but nevertheless, it is troubling.
I think it points to the limitations of the Play's hardware, the officiall Sony Emu on PSP is flawless for everything I have tried. Can't help but feel they should have made the Play just a 'little' bit more powerful.
Hardware-wise, the Xperia Play has technology at least 5 years younger than the PSP one, not to mention the boost in processing speed and RAM memory. Plus, FPSE runs in the same hardware flawlessly. I would say it's a matter of implementation.
Very interesting, I'll try this with destruction derby tonight, I just assumed it was a mixture of things running in the background that was making it juddery!
Destruction Derby runs really, really fast for me in FPSE.
If you put smoothing on it works perfect and looks amazing.
It's the only game I've really been able to play with smoothing on though, which is a shame because it really cleans up the jaggies.
Where is smoothing?
I think he means screen filtering

Logseman i dont really have any of the issue that you have brought up, if i get a txt while im playing the game, i get 10-15 seconds of slowdown after, but it seems to sort itself out
Hi,
I have a BIG (personal) problem with the controls in Gameloft games. On a real console, if you hold the right analog stick in any direction, the camera keeps turning forever, which is the way it's supposed to be.
But in Gameloft games, if you keep your finger on the touchpad to keep turning nothing happens. Your character just does a ~90° turn and stys like that ... even if your finger is constantly on the same spot on the touchpad.
So in order to do a 360° turn you have to slide 4 times over the right touchpad. Where in gods name is the damn sense there? It's such a pita to play a game like this and it's not for one game, it's for EVERY SINGLE game they made for the xperia play !!
So what I'm asking here ... is there some kind of patch / hack to make it possible to have a permanant movement over the right touchpad?
Thanks,
iCEQB
I believe in can be changed in modern combat. Frankly I love the way they did it, I can turn faster by swiping faster, and aiming with it much faster and accurate. When I'm not lagging I get 55-9 records in rainbow 6. My best record was 110-10. Headshot rates are at around 48%.
Sent from my XPlay using XDA App.
I know exactly what you mean. They have made it so its like a controller in brothers in arms, but its far too sensitive, the swipe motion is a lot better the way gameloft has made them anyway.
The reason its good for some is that they have got used to it being that way. NOVA 2 was harder in the first half of the game, but started getting easier in the 2nd half as I had got used to the controls. Multiplayer was easy as others wouldn't be able to shoot straight at ya!
There's a thread on the gameloft forums about this and people complaining, its obvious they've just mapped the movement as it is now to the control pad rather than looking and testing it!
I think it's brilliant! With the right settings (sensitivity) and some time to get used to it and you're good to go! I'm loving it! Of curse, it's not the same as a real console but be real broh, it's a phone. Take it for what it is. I'm happy with it
I'm with the OP the gameloft controlls are crap, i didnt buy a phone with a pad to play games like im using a touch screen, the touch pad tests show, they can perfectly emulate anologue sticks, so why treat then like a touch screen, battlefields hammers the gameloft games, just because of the fact it has real controlls
I think we can categorise the 2 different look styles something like this -
1) Swipe to look - right stick acts like the touchscreen
2) Press to look - right stick acts like a regular control pad stick
Rainbow 6 has the option to play either way. I personally prefer number 2 and so i am with the OP also.
All games should have options to play BOTH ways to keep everyone happy imo.
Just tested Bad Company 2 ... thank god EA got the controls right. This game is SO much fun and a lot better than every single Gameloft game I tried.
But I still want to give gameloft games a chance. We need a list of games that support both control schemes.
