Wonderful!
Add a list of games that you would recommend downloading!
Thanks

Awesome!
Looks like it could use a small frame rate increase, but its still awesome.
Is there an option to hide the on screen controls for people that want to use a mini bluetooth keyboard or something like that?

Agree, looks a little jerky. Maybe newer versions will be optimized to run better on Galaxy S hardware.

I have a feeling its using CPU and very little GFX card. Maybe with the next version we will get some GFX support. I have not tried but I heard you can hide the controls and use a Wii mote with it.

wont be compatible on the Galaxy S phones because the developer said that it currently does not work with BT 3.0 devices

How did you get it to work? I have the .bin and .cue file in a folder but I just get a blank screen. I tried renaming to .img but no luck.
FF Tactics works just fine. It's the only other game I have to test.

I've tried a ton of games, that are eboot files and they all work fine. most of them have no lag, and if they do its minor. but some games like resident evil have a lack of controls due to no r2 and l2 buttons.

where is the bios then? I downloaded it from megaupload to the internal SD so it was in /sdcard/downloads but if you transferred over wire it would be wherever you put it.
Once on disc just click the bios button in the app and nav to it. When I went back into the emulator it asked for rom location and it started playing FF VII.

when i play FF7 my audio lags quite a bit. i cant seem to get it as smooth as all the videos i see on youtube of people playing on their galaxy s phones. i always make sure i kill all the programs running in the background before i play a game too.

What BIOs are you using and Livebackground maybe? I use 1001

sorry, i made a folder under sdcard/psx/bios and i couldn't get to my internal memory with the usb cable attached. a couple hours later i played with the app again and is saw that i could see the root of my memory and set up the psx bios that way. weird how i couldn't get to the bio folder with the usb attached. thanks for responding.

im using 1001 and i dont have a live background. i also make sure that my cpu is clocked at 1 ghz through setcpu. ill see if converting the ROM to a pbp file makes any difference.

well thats because the usb was attached, pull down the notification panel and unmount it so you can see the internal SD card on your phone.

Drag Racing Game Save

Could anyone please share there save.dat file for this game please? After changing rom I forgot to back it up and now having to start again.
Anything around class 6 will do, or just anything at all really.
Thanks.

Here is the link to the save.dat http://www.box.net/shared/2dzncp4xcb
I should contain the Koenigsegg Agera R maxed out on level 8 (Dont upgrade it because it will become level 9 and useless in online racing) a nice little money and RP maker.
And the Bugatti Veyron 16.4 Super Sport almost maxed out on level 10, it needs 2 tire upgrades until max upgrade.
Both cars are not tuned jet. So if you have lost your save.dat you wont have to start all over again.

Please, send it to : [email protected] too. Thanks in advance.

so where is the same game data file for this game on the sd/ internal?

You need to root you phone first to acces the file. Its located in you phone memory under data/data/ look for the dragracing folder. Its in one of the map.

once you find it... what do you do with it!? I would hate to loose my game!!!

Save your own save.dat to your pc before replacing it. I use Super Manager to copy my save.dat to my sd and from my sd I copy it to my pc when I hook my x8 up to my pc. Then your original file is saved and in case the new file doesnt work you can restore the old save.dat. Maybe there is an easier way to do this? If so pls post it here.

any intresting update`s you have made since then ?

Hey i have a n00b question. I have downloaded your save.dat and over wrote my original save file and set the permissions to the same as my original and also have tried leaving permissions same as i dowloaded them.
It does not change my cars, or amount of money, everything stays the same as i had left it.

Have you either killed the application or rebooted?

I have killed the app before i replaced the file, i will try to reboot, replace file, and reboot again.
Edit, Rebooting worked, TY crawler9

For those who want to, you can use the app 'GameCIH2' from the market (free) and set your money/respect. It's just like cheat engine except for your rooted phone, but the creator says it may not work on every phone, but I got it to work on my Optimus S.
From a site on how to use the app:
]Money hack:
1.) Start GameCIH2, select your hotkey (I recommend Focus or search), then hit home
2.) Start Drag Racing app, go to your garage
3.) Hit your hotkey, select input number, enter your exact cash ammount, hit search
4.) You should get 2 results, both being the same as your cash amount
5.) Edit to what ever you want (recommend 100,000,000 for most) for both results, also hit the locks next to the amount to freeze it
6.) If the game freezes and quits, its fine, it should save your cash.amount
7.) Done!
Respect amount hack
1.) Do the same as money hack, only search the number equal to your respect point amount
2.) The amount being so low..hit your back button, and run a race to get some respect
3.) Hit input number again, add your new amount, then freeze it
Done
I'm new so I can't post a screen shot of mine.

If the app does not work, it can be done with any half-decent hex editor:
write down your money/respect amounts, convert the numbers to hex-base, open save.dat in hex editor, find respective hex string and enter new higher values, then save, restart game and done

Moving Gameloft Game data to External SD

If you have more than one Gameloft game (which is easy when they are buy one get one at $2.99), you've probably run into the problem of not having enough space on your tiny 8GB internal SD. I personally have been fighting with ~200mbs free for the past few weeks and its been annoying me, so I decided I wanted to "fix" the problem, at least till Gameloft gets together and adds an option of where to download the app data.
My first idea was some sort of syslink or bind mount at boot between the Internal and External SD, but while I was researching this I ran into this "convertor" which modifies the apk file to install the game data to the external SD card.
Create the folder called GL on your external SD and the game data from your main folder (sdcard/gameloft/games) copy to "external SD/Gl"
Click to expand...

I am still looking for a better solution that doesnt require EVERY apk to be modified, so if you good w/ scripts or can think of a way similar to my original idea, please let me know.
Check it out and leave your feedback

Original Thread on O2X forums: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1091455
EDIT: Confirmed working on NOVA 2 and Shadow Guardian. You MUST copy all the game data to /_ExternalSD/GL/ (make sure to remove the "games" folder if it's there, all the data needs to be in the "GL" folder. Also, confirmed it only works on games purchased from Gameloft's website, not the Android market versions.
This is how your GL folder should look on your External SD if you run ls in terminal:
ls /sdcard/_ExternalSD/GL:
GloftN2HP
asphalt6
GloftBPHM
GloftSGHP
nova

May God bless the fruit of your loins with prosperity and well being from now till his return. Bless you!
works great... except with Starfront.
EDIT: looks like starfront works.. just needed wifi to verify the files

Damn, what the hell are the people who buy the Sensation going to do when they only have a measly 1GB for appdata?

having a hard time downloading that file. It isnt working for me. I need this

People w/ the sensation are screwed and r gonna need to create scripts to move stuff SD. I successfully patched all 4 of my Gameloft games and they are working fine. Just make sure you put them in the right folder (see OP). No issues downloading the one-click patcher, but I'll see if I can get another link.
Despite this working well, Id still like to figure out a way to syslink or bind mount the gameloft folders on Internal and external sd.
EDIT: Posted mirror link in OP. Enjoy!

I did this and it worked perfectly (thanks btw!!) but all my saved game data and progress is gone this is for Dungeon Hunter 2 HD

guys - im having a problem with Data but not sure if its different - any time i download the gameloft data via wifi to my 32GB SDCard - the game crashes after the gameloft logo and asks to download the data when you restart (even if the data is already there)

Im not really sure where the save games are stored for Gameloft games. Glad to hear it works, but please let me know if you resolve this issue.

I would double-check that the folders are set up properly. it is case sensitive, so be careful. I layout exactly how the folders should be arranged in the OP. Another thing u can check is have it download SOME of the game data, and go and find it. It may help you track down the issue, (like folders arrange incorrectly). Hope that helps!

i tried to launch the program but it crashes after loading.. this is so frustrating.. i feel like going back to HTC (never had this level of problems)

This has nothing to do w/ the manufacturer of your phone. We are essentially "hacking" these games to trick it into using the external SD. You would have this exact same issue, on say, the newly releases HTC Sensation (if not worse because of the lack of space on the Internal SD). Also, I just want to point out that I doubt this will work on "cracked" apks for Gameloft, so those may cause crashes as well.
Im not very fond of hacking each APK to work, as it will eventually cause issues, and this would best be solved by syslinking or bind mounting the two folders between the internal and external SD card. Unfortunately, I dont have enough background knowledge to write the script from scratch, as it requires some kernel modification, and would have to be unique to each phone.

cm7 by default installs your games to the sdcard, but if you want your games to install on internal storage i have attached a config file that goes in /system/etc make sure to back up old one first, ps i dont know the site i got the infop off of and the re done config file it isnt my work im just letting people know here ill post in a second post since its on my phone and im using a computer

Do you have any strange side effects from using it? Did it require any modification to the files from the other thread to be used on the G2x?

I'm using trinity kernel and it was just a matter of changing fstab so no
G2x pwned, cm7 (trinity) killer combo "density 190"

Hmm, Ill have to give it a shot?
EDIT: This DOESNT work when using the files from the other thread, as it mentions its specifically for the i9003. Tried it and both SD cards cant be seen. It may need to be modified, as I looked at both files and they are completely different.

Its basically the reverse ill post the fstab file when I get home the 1 for external storage it wont let me attach from my phone so got to wait till I get home

Okay, I used the changed from the Samsung version and modified our vold.fstab to mount the partitions properly. Give the attached vold.fstab file a shot and see if it works. Seems to work for me Please post your feedback.
Backup your original vold.fstab file (its in /system/etc).
ADB push this file to /system/etc after mounting it as R/W (u can do it in terminal but I use the app Remount)
Reboot
Check SD "layout" in Settings
EDIT: Seems you cant mount either SD card as MASS storage after switching files :/. Anyone w/ experience feel like chiming in?

[Q] Xperia Play PS1 FPSE help.

So this may be a little annoying to some members because there are probably threads out there somewhere however, I am new to this website (friend suggested it) and i am new to android and xperia play.
So i'm a little miffed at the lack of serious ps1 titles on it and i was hoping Sony would release more now that the tablets are out and using the same software but they aren't.
Is there anyone who could explain in clear steps as i am a technical noob and have no idea what i am doing with this phone, how to get ps1 emulators/roms to work well?
I've read about FPse and such but i have no idea how to work it or how to make sure it runs games properly. So i wouldn't wanna pay for it and then not know how to use it.
Any help would be really grateful.
Thanks

FPSE is really simple.
1) Extract the BIOS from your PSX (it's illegal to download them...).
2) Extract the ISOs from the disks of the PSX games you own (it's illegal to download them...).
3) Install FPSE and put the BIOS file and the ISO you want to play inside your SDCard.
4) Run FPSE. It will ask you for the BIOS you've ripped. Go to the folder where you've extracted it using the program's file manager, and click on the BIOS file.
5) Now you can do the same procedure to select the ISO you want to play. You have different options to configure the emulator to your liking.
6) Get an idea of what you're doing to your phone. No one is going to spoon feed you everything.

Hey, thanks for the reply and I appreciate it.
I own the majority of ps1 games that I want to play so I can just
rip those using imageburn right?
I dont expect to get spoon fed anything but as im still relatively
new to my phone I also wouldnt want to install an app or mess
with settings without knowing the right way to go about it.
Again thank you for the steps, will use these when trying it out.

Is it true that multiple disc titles run into problems though when disc switching?

Not on fpse. There is a handy Eject button so you can pop in the new disc as you need it.

FPSE not loading saves after update

Hello so I just updated to the new fpse 0.11.18. I am using a galaxy s2 on 4.0.3 stock. When I try load a save through save states the program just crashs. Also I tried using the memory card load feature but it doesnt show any saves.
The ISO loads up fine and I can view and select my old save but when I load it after 5 seconds it just closes the app and goes to the homescreen
Any ideas why?

are you using the proper bios file?
I'm using SCPH1001
Here are some threads that talk more about FPSe

Yes I am using the SCPH1001.BIN. I said the game doesn't load my savestates from the older fpse version don't see how the bios has anything to do with this the game wouldn't load the iso properly without it anyway. I don't think you even read my posts other than the title
