The G1 is still kicking, we all know its a pretty old phone, but i am still using it, since it runs Froyo and pretty fast.
A lot of games i download from the market, doesn't run on my G1, but if it does, it will lag as hell. The G1 does have a decent graphics capability, but certainly not good for a lot of new games and games that need a lot of resource.
Here we go, the top 5 games i play on my G1.
1. Air Control
Air Control. In this simple yet addictive drawing game you take on the role of Air Traffic Controller. It is your job to direct airplanes to runways while avoiding collisions.
2. Doodle Jump
Doodle Jump. WARNING: Insanely Addictive! Jump, jump, jump to the top, top, top with the runaway hit now on Android! Guide the Doodler on a springy journey using springs, jet packs and more. Avoid baddies and blast them with your nose balls!
3. Xconstruction
Build railway tracks with the given material and run the train across the bridge. The game is extremely good.
4. Bonsai Blast
Experience the Zen of gaming nirvana with this addictive puzzle game. Shoot marbles to match 3 or more and create combos to cause a chain reaction.
5. Snesoid Emulator
You can simply forget about all the above games, if you get this emulator, i have this installed on my G1 and i download free roms from sites like RomNation and CoolRoms and play all the classic Super Nintendo games. I currently have 157 nintendo games on my G1, and there are 1000s more to download. The best part is these games has less file size. This app will work great on the G1 since, you can config the keyboard like a controller(joystick) and play without touching the screen.
If you want to try NES games, you can get Nesoid App from the market.
I will keep updating this posts with more games, you can list your favorites below, i will try them and add to the list.
Help
I love my G1 - but games are out of the question. In fact now I can't install ANY apps, even after a factory reset.
I don't know why this is because I used to have over ten....now I'm getting a low memory warning with nothing....no pictures, no music ZERO.
Now I think something is wrong somewhere...I don't think the reset I'm doing is actually wiping what I need to wipe and it's all hanging about somewhere.
What I need to know is - if I install a different ROM will I get my memory back? And how can I do a deaper wipe of the Internal storage? Clearly you have apps on your phone...an I don't want to buy a new phone until ICS has acclimatised.

Haven't tried it yet, but grab it quick... emulates 0.37b5 ROM list. Yes, it supports Xperia Play buttons.

Nice find. Testing romset now
I prefer this to jrioni, it has a better user interface.
Games run at good speed, just as good as jrioni, and I find the sound better in this.
Still no save states that I can see though.
Posting for tiger kings emulator to own them all. Mame needs save states to be functional imho. I play for 5 minutes at a time at work and can't progress in games without save states.
The good thing about this emulator is that it saves all your high scores. with Jromi you have to manually save and load your high scores.
My Metal Slugs and CPS2 games dont seem to work though.

They are *arcade* games. They're only meant to be played for 5 minutes at a time. Only purpose for savestates is if you are cheating your way through a game with infinite quarters.

Totally disagree with this.
Some games take 30+ minutes to beat and complete. Some are even longer taking 1 hour+ to beat.
You forget that this is a mobile device. Which means you are playing games on the move.
People playing on trains, aeorplanes, cars, 10 minute work breaks, sitting at the bus stop, sitting on the toilet (yea i do this ), etc etc etc
You want to continue your game, but at a later date.

This sentence makes zero sense if you sit to think about it.
"Infinite Quarters" are there whether you have save states or not
Completing metal slugs, alien vs predator, final fight, street fighter, strider, rampage, ghould n ghosts, heck LOADS of games take ALOT longer than 5 minutes.
If you played ghould n ghosts for 5 minutes at a time, you would forever be playing the first level.
What is the point in that?
Yes, it is inconclusive, save states ARE needed.
However i have some unfortunate news, MAME4ALL will NEVER have save states, since it is based on a version of MAME that doesnt have them either.
Our only hope is to see what magic Tiger King can produce.
Anyway, no disrespect to Jrioni, i was one of the people that loved and bought his version of Mame.
I support him ALL the way.
But this version of Mame i prefer, the UI is superior to Jrioni. And since it is free, there is no need to purchase Jrioni anymore.
Anyone who wants to play Mame games, this is now the best version.
Glad I held off from buying Jrioni now. Was waiting for save states.
This seems better, though without save states as well.
...and to say Save States are not needed on a mobile device is well...I'm not going to get into it again...but its pretty stupid.

does Mame4droid support dip switches?
reason why i ask its pointless playing mame games for me on medium setting, i like to crank the difficulty up on games, otherwise no challenge !

No it doesnt.
Which is quite annoying because i cant change the analog sensitivity for games like Paperboy, which is unplayable on Mame4Droid because he steers to the left all the time.
Jrioni's graphics seem to be a bit better too. Mame4droid is a bit blockier.
Sound and speed works best on Mame4Droid though. And Mame4Droid is far more user friendly in setting up screen sizes etc.
mame4droid support dip switches u can enable it during in games by pressing select+start at the same time will bring up the menu, only the bad side is the graphic blockier but enable smooth graphic the games lag if it can fixed this then this is the best emu u can get for play.
Does the APP comes with roms or do you have to download them if so from where?! does the app run well on the sony play?

Yes!
Dip switches work.
This is hands down the best Mame emulator for Android. The only thing that can top this is save states or support for newer ROM sets.
Guy above. Don't ask for roms here. They are easily findable with any search engine.
for the roms to work with this Emulator what file type do the roms need to be?
It tells you on the market download page

I must be doing something wrong because even though sound is a bit better than Jrioni's, this emus is much slower, almost unplayable. So I will stick to Jrioni.

What games are you seeing that are slower?
For instance Three Wonders, and Mortal Kombat 2 does not work. On a second attempt I uninstalled it and downloaded from Market and works fine now.
FYI Three Wonders works perfectly in Tiger Arcade 2.20
I'm trying to put this on my ATT Captivate and I can not get the games to show up on the program. I know that I have the right versions of the games. After installing the program, I checked the SD card to see if a ROMs folder was created. There wasn't any so I created a ROMs/Mame4all/roms folder which didn't help. I tried to move the program to the SD card, but I couldn't see the folder when I put the card in a reader. What am I doing wrong?
Never mind. It was on the phone. I was able to see the folder after plugging the phone directly into the computer.
It's a bird! - It's a plane! - No, it's Glu still trying to re-skin Gun Bros and market it as a different game
I jest, I jest... this game is awesome... even moreso now that it's been lifted from the virtual gamepad ghetto to a place where we have REAL game controls.
I tried using the controls the other day but the attack function wasn't working Do you have success with this?
Edit: Actually it works on this game... Gun Bros attack doesn't do jack from the gamepad... Alas both games are very similar... just swords vs. guns.

Yeah, before the optimization, it actually did work with Xperia PLAY controls, but it wasn't complete... so tapping parts of the right analog controlled attacking instead of the face buttons.
Now it works with the face buttons the way people would think it should (X for Attack, Square for special, etc).
As for Gun Bros... that's been Xperia PLAY Optimized for a long time, so it's weird if you have issues with it. That's a straight up two-stick arcade shooter, controlling just like Age of Zombies.
Maybe I'm old fashioned, but if I have a d pad and the character is supposed to move, why can't he move with the damned d pad???? And why can't I set up the controls? The pseudo analogs are absolutely useless for moving the character!
my god! this will eat all your RAM!!!
uninstalled!
i'm sorry to put this thread back up again... but did anyone find a solution to the ram problem? I mean, the fact that there is an "offline notification manager" and a pushservice running in the background even after you exit the game.
always had lag in this game on my play
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.
Sent from my R800x using XDA App
As above.
Psone:
R-type Delta
Einhander
Snes:
Super R-type
R-type 3
Tigermame:
R-type
R-type 2
R-type Leo
Let me add for SNES:
Axelay
Darious Twin

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

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.
I like most people my age grew up on solitaire, that and minesweeper were the only games we had back in our day... two miles in the snow, both ways uphill and all that jazz. Either way, most of the solitaire apps I've seen on Android look just about as bad as they did on Windows. In fact, the Windows version looks even better! All these Android card apps look like SHlT! I can get high def shooters and race games, but not a decent looking solitaire game? Anyone recommend any slick looking apps?
I use Solitaire deluxe. iirc i got it as Amazon's free app of the day a while back, but i believe they have a free version. It is ok and has a lot of games including a few of the classics. Many games can be configured with different options to make them easier or more difficult to beat.
One of the most awaited game of this year has arrived in google play store.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.rovio.baba&hl=en
It’s the ultimate slingshot strategy – YOU choose which bird to fling next! “But that makes it easier, right?” WRONG! You’ll need to choose wisely if you’re going to stop those eggs from getting scrambled. Plus, destroy blocks to fill up the Destruct-O-Meter and earn extra birds!
Get it with data
http://apkcrush.com/angry-birds-2-apk-data-full/
Dont spend a penny for this game if you want to save game progress because it seems you cannot
Otherwise 4.5 star game, fast forward is nice addition and the card system makes game more exciting, if you werent tossed to a level where even a superfreak ab fan couldnt pass (playing freely of course) at first or even second try with so limited lives :laugh:
Can i send my progress game from S3 neo rooted to S7 egde unrooted? Is this works nowadays? How can i do it?
yep, i have played the game in pc version, and then from apknite for the mobile game, and putting them in comparison. android game of the angry birds is not so well in physics, and the control system. pretty disappointed
on scale from 1 to 10 how would you rate it or recommend it? cuz i didnt even like the first one, is sequel better?
