[Q] Playstation Emulator? - Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi Guys,
I bought a TF101 because I was waiting for a TF201 to come out. I played with it for a few days and returned it.
Since there is no word of when TF201 will come to Canada I'm thinking about just going with the TF101.
I had installed FPse and got the ROM for Tony Hawk 2. It was incredibly laggy, and definitely unplayable. I'm just wondering if anyone is using a playstation one emulator, and what their experiences with it are on the TF101. Let me know, thanks!

Our friends over at transformerforums highly recommend PSX4Droid in version 3.0.7, which is free and even open source, but you will not find it on the market (only a high-prized copy I think). The original developer has stopped hosting it as well. I believe, he actually abandoned Android completely due to some struggle with google concerning his publishing on the market. But do some google search, I already found version 3.0.5 which I used on my Desire HD to download on a site called emucr.com.

Interesting, thanks for the info. I'll have to check it out.

How did you even get it on the TF? Gameloft has no tablets listed as a compatible device for this game. How did they let you buy it??

I had the same problem.
May have bought the Optimus 2X version.

Got it working on my DHD VIA a certain site ill give it a try on my TF
DESIRE HD using leedroid. ASUS TRANSFORMER using prime
same here,already uinstalled
Another one here...1st purchased Asphalt 6 HD under Motorola Xoom and since that worked on my TF I thought of giving NOVA 2 a shot...unfortunately crashes after the intro vid with no warning. Asphalt 6 however works flawlessly.
Just sent Gameloft an email asking them if there is a possible fix...otherwise I have requested a refund.
I've heard NOVA2 works on stock 3.1 ROM
The xoom and iconia versions should work for the tf however the latest versions check what device you have and since its a tf and not one or their officially supported devices it won't work. Older versions will install but like the posts above say it crashes after intro video.
It must be possible to trick the game in thinking we have a xoom somehow???

IDK about that, I was playing Nova 1 (for Xoom) on my TF101 just the other day. Unless its a recent update.
I have not tired Nova 2... although it does work for the Xoom, you might try that DL.
Tried NOVA2 and it kept force closing, like others have said.
Asphalt 6HD kept force closing too during the game (didn't really care for it anyway, NFS seems better).
Order and Chaos currently seems to be about the only thing that works (DH2HD doesn't seem to be able to download the files it needs yet).
This is all while running 3.2 STOCK.

I think if you visit the second from your tablet, that's the ticket
Also, I have Nova 1, and Spiderman both working on my TF101 successfully.

No, I have tried stock 3.1, stock 3.2 as well as Prime and Nova 2 crashes after the video each time.
I have also purchased Xoom or Acer Iconia Tab versions of Nova, Hero of Sparta, Let's Golf, Asphalt 6, Uno and Spiderman and they all work except for Let's Golf which won't even download.

Worms says compatible - but in truth isn't'!!?

I was happy to see that worms was compatible after the 3.2 update, but after I bought it and tried to start it, I get an error message saying unsupported device...
Seems very strange that Android marks it as compatible but as soon as you start the app it says unsupported... :/
Any fix for this ?
You have to download the additional data from a compatible smartphone then copy the folder in the Transformer
And if I don't own an Android phone ??

Thanks EA Just kidding. Don't you have any friend with an Android phone?

Have any of u guys tried emailing he devs? Maybe they can roll out an update if they become aware of issue. I would imagine a big company like ea would offer quick spport
Sent from my Samsung Epic
For those who have successfully installed, is it worth the trouble? Loved the game on PC back in the day.
contacting them
HA contacting them solves nothing..
Have written them several mails, and have yet to receive a single answer..!
Extremely lousy customer service on their part, and ****ty support as well.
curious. I unzipped the sdcard content(com.ea.worms_na) to the root of my microSD and the root of "sdcard" just in case but when i launch worms it still prompts me to download the package then automatically sends me to a eamobile customer service site.
anyone have any input on this?
the com.ea.worms_na folder needs placed in the /Android/data folder on the internal SD card, then it should see it fine.
The game is pretty fun, I've been side loading it since I got it for my old D1 back when it came out. Not as many weapons as some of the older computer versions, pretty similar to the PSP version that came out (Armeggedon? I think)
Controls are a little wonky on some of the things, but once you get used to it, its easy.
worked like a charm. thanks man

so i bought one of those GameStop Transformers preloaded with games..

How i transfer these games off so that i can add them to my Samsung Galaxy Tab? paid $299 for the Asus Transformer.
Root and then you can extract the apks.
yup it's rooted. how do i extract the apk's exactly? where are they located?
Get a root file explorer or even astro file explorer. Not exactly sure which folders you gotta look in. Time to snoop around your files to find them
If you use Astro, just use the Tools>Applications backup>choose the apps to backup and when done you can find it in the backup>app folder.
If using Root Explorer look in data/app for applications that is download from market or sideloaded
Astro makes ir real simple, no hunting for files... Easy peazy lemon squeezy

Curious about the tablets from GameStop. I ordered a transformer prime. Are they new? Or have they been opened in order to "pre load" the free games?
Sent from my DROID X2 using Tapatalk
I'm really curious about their wireless gaming controllers. They said they can work with the tablets they sell. I asked if I bought a transformer new elsewhere if the controller would work with it. They told me it would work. The wireless controller is $99 if you buy it seperate. I think $40 if you buy it with the tablet. That is contract evils at it's best. I'm really jealous of the gamestop ones because they have dead space (can't find on android app store), sonic CD, and some others. But it's really the game controller support i am after. I love riptide GP but I think it would be SOOOO much better with the wireless controller. If I get a tranformer prime I might get it at gamestop.
I think gamestop is going in the right direction. I bet once they get their cloud gaming going there android tablets will have them.

FYI, This app is bar far the easiest way I have come across to grab an apk from one device for installation on another:
https://market.android.com/details?...1bGwsMSwyLDEsImNvbS55c2NoaS5NeUFwcFNoYXJlciJd
You just open the app, search for the apk you want by name or scroll through the list of apps, and then you can email it or dropbox it to yourself. Every once in a while there is an app that can't be located in /data/app. I am always able to extract the apk for those apps with Myappsharer.

Well.. if it's any indication.. mine LOOKED new. all the seals were there and not broken. They probably have a deal with Asus to have them loaded with the games from the factory.

It is just a Bluetooth controller. Thats how all wireless controllers work. And IMO, your best off to go with a Playstation DualShock3 controller and getting it to work with your tablet.
Every other controller I've owned pails compared to the responsiveness and quality of a good console controller. Perhaps their $99 controller is high quality too, but you can pick up a PS3 DS3 controller for $29 new. I picked up a white DS3 for $29 from Gamestop not too long ago. Beware they sell new and used controllers for the same price (I bought it new).
It really works fantastic. Honeycomb 3.2 has native support for gamepads, so most of the buttons work out of the box. I mostly use it for emulators with key mappings.
Perhaps someone with a Gamestop TF can provide a NVBackup of their stock rom.
I personally use the WiiRemote; cheap, fast and pain free. Most emulation I play works JUST FINE with it (the .emu series).
I do have a question for player911 though ...
I bought the Six Axis app and went through the rather grueling process of changing the blue tooth sync ID, etc.
Are you using the PS3 controller wired, via the Extension Kit? Or are you doing the whole routine like I am with the wireless? Or wired via the dock's USB?

find in /system/app/ then post here your files and see whether it is locked to that rom or it is universal.

I also asked this question and couldn't find much of a response but i do remember i went into the settings and then into accounts to see it was already pre-synced to something but i don't remember what that was but i assume it has something to do with getting the games on your device

Thank you I actually did realize this after posting. I thought, "Why not?" and I plugged my PS3 controller into the dock. It wasn't working even on as I was in Cordy. I figured, "Oh well I guess I need custom kernels or some kind of root app". I randomly decided to push and hold the home button a few times and I was making cordy jump and move. The first thing that came to my mind was "HOLY CRAP!". Well the edited word that came to my mind anyways...
I went to Riptide GP and found it wasn't working. I went to the dual control settings and I was able to control it with my PS3 controller. IT WAS AMAZING. Riptide GP is amazing by itself but with the controller holy crapy. I raised the graphics to maximum level and it looked like a Xbox (not 360) game. The graphics and effects are incredible and the precise control is unrivaled. I tried some other games though and they did not really work. I think that the Tegra 2 or Tablet Games work best. Any games that were just stretched on screen had almost no control support at all. I am not sure what other games support controllers but I want to find out. If they ever get Dead Space on Android (without buying it from gamestop) I hope that supports it as well.
...Well the controller is one thing. But I also really want Sonic CD. I love Sonic and I am still coming off of the high from Sonic Generations. Sonic CD is a game I never beat either but enjoyed playing it on a friends computer when I was younger. I think there are a few other games that the gamestop tablet comes with that are not on the android market. It actually seems like google removed ALOT of games and apps on the android market for the tablets and some it seems off the market in general. There is only two gameloft games on there for the tablet as well...
I wasn't really ever for gaming on android but now that I see how amazing it can work I am all for it. I'm all for a UMVC3 port on Android Tegra 3! I think there is a PS3 wireless app too that works on rooted androids. I am going to look into that soon. I was excited about the Wii-mote way but I am not crazy about the classic controller nunchuck wired shell. Love the design but not the wired aspect to the wii-mote. Yeah I agree I would love for someone to upload the apps that came on the gamestop tablet. I've already started looking but haven't found any online yet.

I recommend to anyone who has the tablet to back up the games using asus back up or whatever back up you use and putting it on your computer. I've already read a few stories of how some flashes caused the apps to disappear and they haven't found a way to recover them. I am not sure if google will back them up. The Asus Backup might. If all else fails try that app that someone posted the link to and put it on your computer for safe keeping. Using CMW and backing up the device might help as well.

This strikes me as interesting... If the games were preloaded, then presumably Asus would also need to supply customized versions of FOTA updates for GameStop customers. I'd be surprised if that were the case for a sunsetted, heavily-discounted product, though.
using the honeycomb launcher click on the downloaded apps taband see if the games are there , if they are that means it is in data partition

Just use mybackup or mybackup root. Backup all your apps, or just the ones you want to copy, then use the normal file explorer to go to rerware/backups/allappbackups/(todaysdate)/apps then copy the apks.
This is how I transferred deadspace to my non-gamestop transformer
i bought 2 asus pads from gamestop here in san diego and neither of them had any of the games preloaded

New Android Emulator for Windows 7/8 and Linux/Mac soon

Hey,
did anyone heared about the new Android Emulator? It's called "Andy" and this the website www.andyroid.net/.
Let know what your tought about this is. Is this to much or does we still have enough Emulators?
This got some new cool features. Check them out!
Greats Hasel!
I downloaded it today in hopes that I would be able to play Battlefield Commander on my desktop. :fingers-crossed: Unfortunately, it says "my device does not support". I'm so bummed because that was 90% of why I wanted it on my desktop :crying:
If anyone has any way to make this possible on desktop and a link to some pretty easy instructions I'd be one happy camper. :victory: Uhm er I really don't "camp" on BF4!
Goofy
Found this today and was looking for a review somewhere. I only found one review from someplace I have never heard of. I would love to try this out, but I dont want to sign into my google account without knowing if this site is legit.
I tried it on my laptop with an AMD A8 processor and 4 Gb of RAM and it runs painfully slow. I contacted the developers but still haven't heard anything after 4 days.

Leo's fortune on the very coveted Tf101?

My question is just as the title says guys....... Is there a way to get the game playing on the transformer tf101? I installed it the apk way and then by transferring the data folder to sdcard/android/obb but it crashes every I try to get it going.
Is it compatible in any way?

Hey I'm part of the team working on Leo's Fortune. The Asus TF101 isn't a supported device, even if you didn't pirate the game
We had some compatibility issues and it doesn't quite meet the minimum hardware requirements to run the game. Hopefully you have a change of heart and will be able to experience Leo on another device in the future!
Hi, thanks for your reply. I guess I'll have to play it on the wife's tablet (a samsung)...... Not ready to give up on my transformer yet. P. S - i bought the game and installed it on my wife's device and then tried the apk way

I purchased it through the current Humble Mobile Bundle 9 which provides me with a DRM-free apk of the game. Just pointing out that just because someone has an apk of the game doesn't mean they pirated it. :good:
Didn't try installing it on my TF101, just stumbled across this post while seeing what, if much, my old TF101 is still capable of.
**** Before anyone PM's me asking, NO, I will not share it.
Get a log cat file. Check if they use native code, if so, it's probably neon support problems.
Regards
