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!

Hey everyone, Im glad to be a part of this forum, I just recently put a game together in appinventor. I used appinventor because i obviously have zero programming experience. I have it published on the android market. I would love it if you guys could maybe give it a try and give a little feedback on performance, I know it has bugs but they are very minor. I developed it with a huawei ascend with 2.1 but it should work with 1.5 and up, it runs decent on mine , Just remember when you exit game, hit menu button and choose stop & exit
The name of game is "Next to The Last Starfighter" and it has a picture of a blue starship icon
the developer "name is next to last" to, please leave me 3 stars ormore if you test it, even if it really sucks
also its free and no ads or anything, i just want some test done with various android versions and get a little feedback
nobody? heres some screenshots, its not that bad of a game, but its a little choppy on my huawei ascend when a lot of ufos are present, i would greatly appreciate if someone with a better faster phone could try it

I tried it out for you on my Evo. The movement of the enemy ships is smooth, but when you tilt your own ship left and right, its very choppy and jumpy. The ships are also too big in comparison to the screen; when they appear, there is no way to get 2 ships at once or anything like that. If they were smaller, you'd be able to make it more difficult by making more on the screen, right now it's very easy to kill whatever is directly in front of you so you don't die just by spamming the shot. Give benefits for scoring well, otherwise we'll just run and survive. Good job, keep up the work! It's very exciting to see that someone without any programming knowledge is putting games out there, I hope this is the start of something big!
Sent from my EVO 4G running Azrael with the XDA app!
Installed on my Captivate running Perception 9.5 and runs fairly well.
Fun little game, great start. Gets a little choppy in the side to side movement and like the above post smaller ships would be great for more action and might help with the choppiness. And of course weapon upgrades for multi kills, etc.
Good job though, it is a nice little time killer. Thanks.

thanks zori, i was afraid of the choppy part, i thought it mightve just been my phone but the way appinventor uses the accelerometer is wierd, the only way i could get it to work was for it to disable itself, then have a timer firing in very short intervals to enable it, i will try to tweek it some more and see if i can get it to do better, or i have to option of touching and sliding the ship, but i like the accelerometer better.

i would love to learn java, ive actually been doing some tutorials with java the past couple days, trying to grasp it, but i have a lot to learn. the more i use appinventor the more i realize how limited it is, lots of stuff isnt possible, but using it has sparked a hunger to learn real programming like java.
im trying to do a little zombie shooter game, but the limited animation i can get is really bringing me down, you cant move around in the game but its interactive a little all windows can be shot out, car damage when you shoot it, you can shoot down he light pole, i would like to get animated sprite of zombie hordes coming down the center of the street, but the performance of appinventor just will not allow it, i have managed to get blood splatters when you kill zombies, and i have animated zombies coming down the street but appinventor just cant compute fast enough, tried every clock setting , just wont work, hers a screen, im till trying to tweak my starfighter game, so this probably wont been done for a while or ever if it doesnt work right in apinventor

Cool man, glad to hear you like the smaller ships idea too. Let us know and we'll test I'm sure.
Not a bad game for being made in app inventor! It is a bit glitchy running on the epic 4g but its a good game. I would make the shields go down quicker to make the game more challenging. Also add in powerupps and new guns. Good luck learning Java!

Great work when I wanted to make my first app I tried app inventor, although nice it is quite limited. If I were you, and I see you're quite serious about furthering this, then take it into Java, it'll be more meaningful down the road
Best wishes and nice work!
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

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.

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.

Alas, it's not perfectly optimized since you use up to jump instead of circle, but I've already contacted the developers to see if they'll move the exit game button to menu and make back jump (... as well as a few other things like putting it in the game launcher and giving the option to hide onscreen controls)... still, it works kinda nicely as is!

My all time faves are Castlevania Symphony of the Night & Metroid Fusion. I'll have to try this out! =)

Nah... I just notice a lot of people who hate Castlevania because of the *older style* of them. While some can tolerate the old style CV games, most think they are sluggish, antiquated, choppy and contain a lot of "fake" difficulty (which is usually just horrid physics combined with poor mechanics and terrible coding to make it harder than it needs to be) and it's very understandable why people would dislike those.
...my point is that those same people who hate the old style of CV games often end up loving the new style where Castlevania is turned into an Adventure/Platformer/RPG hybrid.
looks fun will try it out
This game is like fried chips. It's not good for anything (poor atmosphere, Engrish, prehistoric game mechanics and ridiculously easy difficulty) but it's addictive.
Worst game ever played, choppy game play, poor music, easy, poor chinese to english translation( at least it's wat i can think of). the most important part is, it can't be play when you're not connected to internet, and continue force me to play on chapter 2 (before Cerberus battle, which is er....buolosi, wat a crappy name)while i already reach chapter 4.
Yeah, gameplay has potential, and it's pretty, but ridiculously easy, and the English literally makes no sense.

Honestly, I expected the translation to be ass... now that I think about it, every Metroidvania after Symphony of the Night had some very "WTF?" cutscenes too that didn't make the story engaging at all...
...and that's what I expected... lame, unengaging story, topped with extravagant gameplay... and the actual game is definitely very fun.
One thing is an extraneous sentence from time to time, and another thing is the inability to follow the story. If the stories were completely moot, Alucard and Samus Aran would not be myths of gaming.

There's a reason I excluded Symphony of the Night in my above note.
As for Metroid... this might just be my opinion, but it seems no one really cared about the storyline in any of those games either. Super Metroid is the only traditional canon Metroid game that *kinda* had a somewhat developed story... for ages, Samus had barely any developed character or backstory... and when they actually tried to flesh it out (Metroid: Other M) people hated them for it.
I'm just sayin'... as much as this game could've benefitted from a good storyline (or a good enough translation so that we could care about it) people generally care more about the gameplay aspects than they do the characters or storyline.
Unless they have it in recent memory or specifically did a google search just to recall some detail, people might be hard-pressed to remember those subtle details about Super Metroid's storyline, but they sure as hell remember how rewarding it felt to get the Plasma Beam, Super Bomb, Super Missle, Screw Attack, the suit that allows you to withstand all that insane heat in Norfair and the ability to run at high velocities... vividly; no matter how long ago it was.

This looks awesome. Thanks TL. Downloading now. How you been?
I'm downloading too - will see how nice it is . Thanks for info my friend - you're always in the fastest group of newsmen .

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 WHO EVER IS GOING ROUND 1 STARING GAMES IN THIS XDA SECTION F********************CK OFFFFFFFFFFFFFF!!!!! THIS SECTION IS FOR GAMERS
(noticed the mods for UI and stuff have 5stars) so if your reading this go buy a nexus or some other generic device to pleasure yourself with!!
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.

Horrible game, bland and totally forgettable.
I can't see anything I would recommend this game for. Not a patch on Castlevania games.
Uninstalled after a couple of minutes of gameplay.
Installed twice times... and my xperia play controls don't work. I don't know why.
Running in Gin2JB, DoomKernel v14...

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.
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.

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?

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
