Hello there, I've recently built and tested cifs and nfs kernel modules. I've found nfs to be much better behaved than cifs. Using the directio option for cifs reduced alot of the stuttering during media playback, but nfs performance appears to blow cifs out the water on android. Getting cifs working over an ssh tunnel appears straight forward enough, but I'm having trouble with nfs. If anyone has been successful in the department, I'd be excited to hear about it!
Gief sshfs tbh

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
I know that on the Xoom, the new 3.1 allowed some very basic use of the ps3 controller, but what about full use with one or two controllers connected bluetooth to the Transformer?
Is this something we'll have to wait for proper support for, or can this be wired into a rom?
Thanks for the replies folks.
My tf is in the mail now and i would love to see the xbox 360 controller utilized in games such as dungeon defenders, or gun bros, or any emulator games. is there anything the xda community could do to help this concept along or is there just hours and hours of coding to be done to get the controller up and running correctly?
It shouldn't be that difficult. xpad.ko is floating around for Android 2.2 devices and works nicely on devices such as the Advent Vega.
I'm sure it will happen in time.
I've got a GS4 running 4.4.2 AOSP (http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2544474) and I want to use my Moga Pro Power (http://androidspin.com/wp-content/up...-Pro-Power.png) to play games like NFS MW and emulators like Super Gnes but I get an infuriating lag of ~0.4 of a second between pushing a button and the action happening, making games like Super Mario World on Gnes impossible.
I've also tried a dualshock 3 controller over bluetooth and the lag is still there. If I use the PS3 controller plugged in with an OTG then the input lag is still there (less than ~0.4s but still definately noticeable. Is there anything I can do to improve the lag since I've read reviews and other xda threads which say the Moga works great?
What can cause input lag from an external device? Thanks

as you started with the moga pro i was going to say that the moga definitely has input lag, its not a bad controller but still has some problems, as for the dualshock 3 aswell, i dont know what to tell you. what app are you using to map the buttons to the emulator? the normal moga pivot app or?
Yeah I'm just using the regular moga pivot app. It's not just within apps, it's even when using the controller to navigate around android What can cause input lag (even wired)? I have modified dalvik and bionic caches on my S4 (also on my N7, which also has the input lag) so could that be it?

im not sure about that, there are some emulator apps such as Mupen64+AE (N64 emu) that you shouldnt launch from the pivot app and should have better input. try using this instead https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.obsidianx.android.mogaime for all your emulators, its LOTS better than the pivot app which the pivoit app is only compatable with whatever apps moga wants and this will be compatible with anything that can bind keys.
Thanks for that but this doesnt get around the issue of noticeable lag just using android, a dualshock and wired, I'm seriously tempted to just go and buy a JXD S7800B for gaming and use the moga as a glorified battery pack
On my other handhelds/tablets I use the following device:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Verbatim-98243-MediaShare-Wireless/dp/B00CZ0P0PS
With CIFS mounting this allows me to essentially add an entire 1TB of disk space which really helps with having lots of roms, music and videos on the go. I can't get CIFS mounting working on the Nvidia Shield Tablet due to missing kernel modules but have discovered that NFS mounting is working on stock for the Nvidia Shield Tablet. The issue here is the firmware of the Verbatim MediaShare Wireless doesn't support NFS.
So does anyone out there use a similar device which does support NFS mounting?
Hey guys, I had this idea I wanted to run by the community for feedback before I really started digging into it.
I attend PAX East every year and love being able to do Bring Your Own Computer for the LAN fest area. The big problem is my distance from Boston and the size of my PC Tower. Rather than focus on the biggest and beastest of Rigs, I wanted to try the other side of the formula.
The nSHIELD Portable is a decent little machine and seems to have less hardware issues than its newer nS Tablet does. What I want to eventually do is load Ubuntu onto it which would allow me to load Steam and then hook it up to the LAN network at PAX and play games with the other attendees. I currently have a Portable and am just looking for new ways to get more life out of it.
Does anyone have any experience in loading an OS onto the device or experience even in trying to do what Im describing? Any help is welcome
Thanks~

i don't know specifically, but I know there are some apps that help install Linux into android because android is based on the Linux kernel and can run it, try going on YouTube and searching Linux on android, or android Linux

Couple of problems with this:
To run Ubuntu you'd need a framebuffer driver compatible with Linux. Some people get around this by running a VNC viewer locally and basically loading up an X11 environment in the background. Performance for gaming would never be there.
Steam is X86 only. The Shield Portable is ARM, which I highly doubt will get a port of Steam. Even if it did, there are no games on steam that currently support ARM. And even if you cross compiled....
You'd be unable to run most OpenGL (think Linux's directX) games due to poor feature support. OpenGL ES is a smaller subset of functionality from the full OpenGL (which games like Half Life and Counter Strike run on) and OpenGL ES is what the Shield supports. To ad insult to injury, the Shield Portable only supports OpenGL ES 2.0 not the newer 3.0, meaning even less flexibility and programmability (less possibility for titles to be ported).
Sorry to burst your bubble. With GameStream though, you could game stream over the internet assuming there was enough download bandwidth where you were. You'd be better off looking at a Haswell based ultrabook if you want thin and light basic gaming.
you can not run PC games natively on a Shield, no matter what operating system it has.
with emulators such as dosbox turbo you can emulate older PCs, not faster than a Pentium 1, so you can only run DOS games and if you have a lot of time on your hand install Windows 95/98 to play games such as Half Life 1.
So for PC games you're better off with a Windows tablet.
Intel Atom Baytrail based tablets are fast enough to play games such as Portal 2.
