[Q] psx4droid tested yet?

Anyone tested psx4droid yet?

it works ok for me, however wiimote will not work on tnt. it will work on zpad however.

Plays a ton of games at full speed, but the v-pad sucks for most games. Gtablet plays the following games smoothly with sound. Please note that 1.5 and 1.6 are a LOT faster than 1.7 (current version in market).
Sound is fairly rough for a lot of games though: Some are ok.
Sample of more cpu killing games for other Android devices:
Dead or Alive
Bloody Roar 2
Crash Racing
Tekken 3
NFL Blitz 2001
NBA Live 2001
March Madness 2000
NBA Showtime
Tobal 2 (when in game)
Rival Schools
There are others, but Tegra 2 handles these very well. Of course, no current way to play the games decently, since no control options other then the virtual pad.
Games play rather well with the v-pad on the Incredible and Droid X, but smaller design (closer controls & lighter) and actual touch response & multi touch is better on those devices. Catch is those devices plays all the games noted above slow, except Crash Racing.

Nice. You say 1.5 and 1.6 run smoother. Do you have .APK for one of the older versions?

Yes (from older Titanium BU), but it is apparently linked to my gmail account (would not work until I set my account up on Gtablet). It is a paid app, but the irony is the one on the market (1.7) absolutely sucks compared to 1.5 & 1.6.
Not sure why the dev takes backsteps.
You should have no problem finding the apk. In this situation, can not blame you since the current version is a lost cause.

so is 1.6 better than 1.5

ok so i got it but not sure which version, any way to find the version #.
the bios it came with, i also know nothing about. are there better bios than others?
do you know anywhere i can get a good pack of roms already packed

My Titanium backup showed 1.5, but a way to tell if you have 1.7 is they added some graphics options which are not in the older versions. There should only be scaling mode and framerate adjustment in 1.6 and lower. If you see extra settings for graphics in the menu (can not remember what they are), you have the new 1.7 version.

uh oh, 1.7 i guess haha. i'll look for some alternate .apk's
if anyone else has trouble finding apps for free i just google this...
".apk" "index of /" "NAMEOFAPPHERE"
works well for me!! thanks for all the info though!

searching for roms. is there a certain type that work?
i found listed as NTSC. not sure if there are other types but will these play probably ?

The version number is in the top right hand corner in application info (application manager). Mine says "1.5".
Best bet is eboot files, since they are smaller compressed versions of the iso files. I use eboots, since you can fir almost 2X the roms in the same space (on average).
Eboots are PSX games formatted to work on the PSP. They work here too.

Yes, but 1.1 is best for speed, but has some graphics issues (example is special weapon boxes missing in Crash Racing). This is rare though.
1.1 is easy to find by doing a search for 1.1 and psx4droid.
Worth buying though- assuming the dev fixes the 1.7 fiasco. The dev should at least offer 1.5 or 1.6 as a separate market download for paid users.

I was told v1.61 is the best one available.
I mean v1.7 has the most/best features but sufferes from a lag.
v1.1 has the best speed which is equal in v1.6, but v1.6 is slightly faster for those weaker devices (eg Milestone).
v1.6 has some new features not present in v1.1
I'm guessing a v1.8 may be released later on which is simply v1.7 minus the lag
After that (v1.8) I believe it would remain quite stagnant as zodtt wants to focus on his other projects; vlc4droid and n64droid and not to mention his apps for iOS.

Yep, 1.5 & 1.6 are best for combination of speed and all graphics visible. 1.1 is fast, but gets away with it since some graphics are missing Example is Crash Racing. 1.5 seems as fast as 1.1, but has all the graphics.
1.6 begins the step to the dark side of lag (works for a few games well, most not so much). 1.7 is even more niche and a big step backwards for the app.

Tips on playing your flash game while offline
An SWF File is a flash file. You can save the SWF file of your flash game to play on your phone while disconnected from the internet. I think it's annoying to download the flash game every time I want to play it. So I would download the SWF, and copy it into my smartphone.
How to save SWF files:
1) Make sure you have a Mozilla FireFox browser
2) Using FireFox, open the link that brings you to your favorite flash game
3) Go to Tools > Page Info > Media
4) Look at the address collumn, and search for the address that ends with .swf
5) If you suspect that the .swf is the game file, click on "save as"
6) Move the SWF file into your smartphone's memory card
How to play SWF files offline:
1) Go to the market
2) Download SWF Player (Available) or SWF Viewer (No Longer Available)
3) Install it, and use it to find the local SWF file
4) Enjoy your flash game, video, program
I have not tested if you can customize controls using these apps.

*Are there any other good flash games for Android, guys? (List them here)

Thank you for this amazing post, I've been trying to get Robot Unicorn Attack to work smoothly for a while now but it's still not smooth enough to play on my Epic 4G.
Does it play very well on your G2 phone? I'm wondering if the weaker FPU performance of the Samsung Hummingbird is affecting its flash performance compared to the Snapdragon's on HTC phones.

Have you installed the recently available Flash 10.2 (I don't have a link on hand, but it is in one of the Epic sections.) After installing 10.2 and starting flash games, long press on the game and a full screen button will appear at the top left of the flash window. After making the flash full screen, performance / responsiveness is very good.

I did not overclock my phone. My G2 is not rooted and running stock T-Mobile Froyo ROM. It is clocked at 800 MHz. It runs about 2/3 TO 3/4 as smooth as a PC would run unicorn attack. It's still playable, but could be better.
Yes, there is some lag. My 1.2 Gigahertz over-clocking is just speculation.

Thanks, I'm going to try this very soon. (Although I can load flash in full screen...I haven't checked if I have 10.2 already installed or not...)

Thank you for the suggestion to update flash. I switched to 10.2 and saw a noticeable performance boost in that the game is actually a lot more playable now. Unfortunately a lot more playable != playable....the game starts to lag a lot more after you hit over 1000 points and the flash app breaks.
The sad part is I've noticed the performance drain that RUA takes on Windows machines. My laptop Core 2 Duo P8400 @ 2.26 GHz was running it noticeably slower than my Desktop i7 920 @ 2.66 GHz (and a slight boost @ 3.2 GHz). A Phenom 9600 BE @ 2.2 GHz was pretty bad as well.
The things I do to play RUA are astounding. <3 my Unicorns. I need to overclock my Epic...

[GAME] Trainz simulator for android! Working on adreno200!

n3wgames released a port for android which works very well!
This game is availaible on android market for a very fair price, though originally intended for tablets running honeycomb with tegra chip.
I have bought this game for my tablet and works wonderfully. I have thought of trying this on older hardware to see how this game demanding is.
AND IT WORKS!
I am successfully running this game on typhoon ROM HD2 with chainfire 3D(NVIDIA plugin) There are few problems, but it's nothing hard to fix. Current issue is with S3TC texture compression and rather slow emulation of NVIDIA Tegra part. Looking a way to overcome this.
I'm trying to fine tune graphic settings to:
-get most of detail on my tablet
-reduce quality on HD2 to improve gameplay experience
For example you can tweak some options under
/sdcard/android/data/com.n3vgames.android/trainz/files/userdata/settings
#globalmodule.txt
for example draw-distance can be set higher to increase viewing distance with cost of few FPS, also good/bad-weather-fog can have dramatic impact on game speed. In game options are quite lacking and doesn't have all tweaks needed.
I'm still looking for some settings to add in this file.

Thanks for adreno 200 support

Trainz is adreno200 compatible BUT you must use NVIDIA plugin or you'll get white textures. I'm looking atm for a way to disable S3TC texture compression, it's major performance hogger.

Link!!

So on a dhd it will work OK then if it works on a hd2

[Q] FPSE vs PsXperia?

so I recently got myself an Xperia play for the purpose of doing some awesome classic gaming. The retro GBA, SNES, GENISIS emulators have been working flawlessly so far, and even N64 isn't all that bad.
However, now that I wanna try PSX, a conundrum arises for me.
I can either use FPSE (the unofficial PSX emulator) or the Playstation Pocket (official emulator) by making the custom iso's through my various downloaded backups.
I just wanna know which one has the overall faster and smoother experience and features.
The games that really wanna play are:
FFVII, VIII, IX
Vagrant Story
Metal Gear Solid
Alundra
Gran Turismo 2
GTA 2
Castlevania: SOTN

FPSE is far much better. No problems with games that You have on list. Savestates in any time You want and need (not just one like in psxperia). For me - only one con of psxperia is the fact that iso of CD is packed and takes less memory on storage card.

Some game doesnt work on psxperia... other have problems... but i still use it... fpse is great but kinda slow sometimes...
FF7 looks better on psxperia... FF9 works great except theres no sound in fmv... and theres some text problem in some zone...

The main differences are in compatibility and touchpad support. If you don't use the ICS beta, FPSE doesn't support analog touchpads and this could be somewhat of an annoyance. On the other hand, PSXperia has many many compatibility issues, has only one available savestate. The apks you use in PSXperia are much lighter that isos, though.

PSXperia has a better emulation, but has a lot of problem (for example Vagrant Story with the software rendering freeze during some videos but goes flawlessy, without it has a lot of graphic glitch, but don't freeze) and it is not compatible with all the games, FPSE has a good emulation (the only problem that i have was with Persona 2 Innocent Sin, but it is easy to solve with another emulator like ePSXe), but the graphic quality isn't the same of PSXperia

How can i change format from 16:9 to 4:3 in fpse? I tried "Original Mode" under Video settings with no luck. All games are in 4:3 and not 16:9 like xperia play screen.
On PSXPeria format is correct but games like GranTurismo2(Simulation Disc) don't work.

Oh? GT2 doesnt work with psxperia? did you try sofware mode? cause mine works...

(Simulation Disc only) It starts but when i try to select a car or start to take a licence it closes to homescreen. Software mode when i convert isos or in pspocket settings?

If you are on ICS use FPSE. If on 2.3.3-4 use PSXPerira.

FPSE > PSXPeria
I appreciate what the devs did with PSXperia, but for general compatibilty, ease of of use and features, FPSE is all over it.

FPse settings for this device?

Has anyone found a good config of settings for this device?
It has the horsepower to run a lot of the game I have tested on it so far I just can't figure out the stuttering sound on most of the games I have run. It is not clipping, more like losing rhythm.

Try changing the sound sampling rate. I believe it has that option. Also make use to use the open gl plugin for improved graphics. It will clean up alot of games and make them look even better than PS original.

Usually, even if the system is stronger, if the emulator has a bad code, that contradicts the way the game should run, it will studder, and what not.

After about an hour of playing with the setting I figured out the sound issue. I had to turn on the spusync plugin in the sound options what I didn't realize all along was that the emulator had to be restarted for the change to take effect quite unlike the video settings in FPse.
