I just wanted to point out that a sega saturn emulator for android is in development but in its current state it is VERY slow and can only currently load the bios, however it does boot and it does accept d-pad input.
Update: Can now play games and now works much faster
Also I am not the author of this emulator before you start asking.
Thanks to paulscode for building the apk I am using.

Here are instructions on how to create a build on ubuntu
* you have CMake installed (apt-get install cmake)
* you have the Android sdk installed
* you have the Android ndk installed and a standalone toolchain (see STANDALONE-TOOLCHAIN.html in the ndk documentation)
Update your PATH environment variable with :
* path the standalone toochain "bin" directory
* path to the ndk top directory
* path to the sdk "tools" directory
so... something like that:
# export PATH="$PATHath/to/your/toolchain/binath/to/your/ndkath/to/your/sdk/tools"
then create a new directory and fetch the sources:
# mkdir yabause-android && cd yabause-android
# svn co https://yabause.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/yabause/trunk/yabause
At this step, you'll need to edit sources as the sysroot is hardcoded. In src/android/android.cmake, update the line:
SET(CMAKE_FIND_ROOT_PATH /home/guillaume/projects/android/toolchain/sysroot/usr/)
to point to your standalone toolchain (something like path/to/your/toolchain/sysroot/usr/ )
# mkdir build && cd build
# cmake ../yabause -DCMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE=../yabause/src/android/android.cmake -DYAB_PORTS=android
# make

Update!
The emulator is now able to use the dynamic so it has a huge speed boost.
Most games still run slow but one of the testers on paulscode found a game which runs full speed.
Heres the video he made:
This is compareable to N64/PS1 right? So no problems like hardware s not strong enough?

saturn does require a bit more power than N64 and PS1 but there are still a lot of optimisations that can be done to make this faster. This is a very very early port, absolutely nothing has been optimised yet.

Saturn is a dual core console. I remember it was a headache to emulate on Linux, Yabause was pretty much the only option and it wasn't that great. I hope Paul and team can bring more awesome sauce to the Xperia Play!

Ah that might be why then, emulating two cores with 1 will take heck of a lot of power but I think we could see this reach near full speed in the future... or at least better speeds than the DS emulators haha.
I used yabause on the wii and psp and on those platforms it ran very slow. Keep in mind that the psp and wii can emulate PS1 and N64 very well.
Thanks for this news. have tried pauls concept app, its nice to see other things from psx and n64 being worked on.
ps. i saw in one of your posts that you got an app to record your screen could you please let me know what its called thanks alot.

The app is called screencast, its great for recording normal apps but it will slow down your phone while its running so it will make n64 and PS1 games lag, other emulators should run with minimal lag.
Def some Saturn games I'd love to play on here. Good luck!

As much as I promote giving Xperia PLAY's games a shot over emulating stuff from decades ago, having NiGHTS into Dreams mobile would put the sex in SEXplay.

There is already a DS emulator but it is VERY slow just like this saturn emulator.
hmm... might be worthwhile on the xplay 2, dont really see it getting too far on current gen hw. then again we have n64, as dodgy as all the emulators for that are unfortunately..

The dynarec is there but it doesn't seem to be linked up yet, also its slow for the reasons I stated in the youtube vid.

Hi,
The Android OS has some amazing emulators. the PSX is here and soon will be a N64
*Link will come once new user restriction is removed so people can sign the petition*
If one looks at the PSP and Open Pandora scene you will notice that there is a Sega saturn emulator available on PSP and a Sega Dreamcast for the Open Pandora
Currently a Sega Saturn emulator could run on Android phones. A Dreamcast may or may not be possible until future hardware upgrades. Android phones update thier hardware much more frequently than Open Pandora and the PSP so developers can bring high end emulators to the Android operating system sooner.
The key benefits to developers with the Android Platform vs the Open Pandora or PSP platforms are
1: The Developers can actually sell the emulator's and make quite a nice bit of profit (optional)
2. Android reaches a far larger amount of users than the Open Pandora and PSP
3. Android phones are much more portable than Open Pandora and PSP
If you feel that our Android phones deserve more attention than the PSP and/or the Open Pandora please say yes to this Poll. Hopefully we can get enough people to post so we can see a working Sega Saturn/ Dreamcast emulator here in the future
Sincerely,
You got me excited for no reason.. I thought there were actual emulators in development. Very misleading title.
Someone has managed to emulate the two SH2's using a mobile processor?
The Saturn is a horrific platform to emulate, if this is possible in the current gen I'd be surprised, if it's playable I'd probably faint!
That noise was the sound of 12 people getting excited...
I don't know anyone who has played a Dreamcast or Saturn in the last 10 years.. Seriously.

Please sign the petition
People have done the Sega saturn on the PSP and the Open Pandora has a Dreamcast. It is possible to bring it to Android which is a much larger market than both of those devices together.
I would do it if I could

If someone could get it working on a PSP Slim then they can do it on Android.
There is an emulator here yabause use (.org) This was already ported to the PSP
the PSP runs off of Linux so any dev who could get the source from that project would have a huge head start to port it to Android.
Then he can just use the same type of interface Yongzh and Zodttd do on their emulators and a lot of the leg work is done.
All that is really left is upping the compatibility and tweaking things.
From what i understand (very little) the PSP Slim runs off Linux as does Android at its core so it would not be such a long shot.
The Dreamcast is actually much easier to emulate as well which is why it is on the Open Pandora and the Sega Saturn is not.
The thing is if they would just direct their work to android the Open Pandora would be outdated. Why lug that around when you can have it on your phone?
drk|Raziel is working (I am testing) Dreamcast emulator
Meh just get a dreamcast and play them at home ;( there's plenty of games for the phone
I thought there were no functional saturn emulators? I spent a long time looking for one on the net, but never got one. I would really like to play guardian heros
I Still Own & Play My Dreamcast..I Would Like To Play Powerstone 1 & 2,Marvel Vs Capcom,Best Games For The Dreamcast..I Signed The Petition....I Thank All The Coders N Hard Workin PPL For This Modding Scene

I know it'll probably be a good while before anything is playable, but the proof-of-concept gave me an overwhelming feeling of nostalgia!! I've always dreamed of a day where I've be able to play a portable version of the Dreamcast. I killed hundreds of hours playing Phantasy Star Online while my parents and family were sleeping because it could only be played over dial-up at the time LOL
Can't wait to see some progress on this bad boy!! I still have my DC in the basement somewhere. Never had the heart to sell it.

It's made by Robert ****in Broglia!!!! That's what makes it so much better.
I jest, I jest... I don't actually have this one yet, but I do have all of Broglia's other emulators, and I can tell you that this dude's serious about quality assurance... to a level that most other emulator devs haven't been.
Can someone who has this test the public domain GBA homebrew game Wonkie Guy? It's not even a full game, yet it's been one of my favorites for near a decade... and more importantly, every other GBA emulator I've tried curled up in fetal position and started bawling every time I tried to load it.
Brilliant. I bought his GBC and NGP emulators and they both worked flawlessly, so going to buy this to replace Gameboid. Top notch :good:
Might sound stupid but can you map the dpad to the touchpads in this emulator? - Thanks
Gameboid works good for me but my biggest problem is the graphics look blurry from the upscaling. I would buy this emulator if there is a setting which adds filters to make the games look "better"
I hate to say it but I think people should wait before buying this one. Having bought and now had a chance to test it, I consider the performance of it to be much poorer than Gameboid.
Noticeable on-screen judder during playback with frameskip enabled and slows to a crawl when frameskip is disabled. Sound isn't much better. One can only hope that this gets fixed and much improved with further updates.
The reason I bought this emulator is because all the emulators by this developer allow you to turn off the blurry graphics in the settings, unlike Gameboid and other emulators.
The emulator however is a bit slower but at 1.6GHz all games I tried were full speed to me.
Hope FPse does this (touchpad) in the future, will definitely get this app.

Question?
Does it support Netplay or emulated cable link? for example Mario Kart or Pokemon games
Games like Castlevania Aria of Sorrow, Metroid Zero Mission run laggy in GBA.emu.
In gameboid doesn't happen.
Went ahead and bit the bullet.
It plays the games that failed to load on Gameboid. I am satisfied

Seeing as none of his other emulators have cheat capability (if that is incorrect plz correct me) on Android OR iOS I doubt it. And I have both versions (Xperia Play and iOS {5.1.1 Jailbroken on iPhone 4S}) and often sound is a problem in some games like Sonic Advance 3 where all you hear is the music and nothing else (like jumping noises, or other collision noises) and the sound is crap without frame skip to 1.

A New arcade emulator (Final Burn Alpha Port) for Android. The Dev has posted this in the main XDA apps section (Full Version For FREE) but if people missed it i wanted to bring it to your attention. Works fine with Xperia Play and controls. Its already mapped if just click on the Joystick icon in-game and select hardware keys and turn off the on-screen pad. Been able to play loads of sweet games like metal slug 5, Street Fighter III 3rd Strike: Fight for the Future and Progear . Hopefully this will be supported better then Tiger Mame.

Finaly Great News man!
Thanks for sharing.
FBA is a great emulator so I'll test this port. Thanks for sharing this info.
hi guys, i want to know how comes on mine, it didnt read any cps3 roms. They are img files, along with a ccd and sub file, where do I put these files?
Isn't Tiger Arcade FBA as well? All the roms I kept from my Windows Mobile FBA emulator work on it. If this is the case is there anything that this emulator does better? Thanks!

Tiger's was a Mame emulator. This is the same sort of thing (Multiple Arcade Machine Emulator) but final burn is said to be faster with some games, better then Mame on lower end device's and has a good support. Really its down to your choice what one you use. The only difference with this and TigerMame as an Android emu is this is still in development, Plays more CPS3 titles, UI is much better and other small details really.

This emu only reads games from arcade machine boards not CD img's. You will find them on Google/Web in Zip format (Don't Unzip or rename. The emulator reads them like this). No way else of acquiring them unless you carry around a 5-6ft Arcade Machine's with you
Really? Tiger Arcade even thanks the FBA team in the credits and many state that it is in fact a port of FBA. Like I said my FBA romset from windows mobile 6.5 work perfectly on Tiger Arcade and the FBA team even states in their history "FB Alpha supports games on Capcom CPS-1 and CPS-2 hardware, SNK Neo-Geo hardware, Toaplan hardware, Cave hardware" which is the exact same as the supported list for Tiger Arcade. I'm not trying to be argumentative but I'd love to hear from someone else familiar with the two emulators to see if they also believe it is the same emulator. And even still, is this coded better than Tiger Arcade and which CPS3 games does it support over Tiger (since I haven't had an issue in any) because if so I'll check it out but if it has a way to go and supports the same rom-set I'll pass.

Never knew till checked it out fully. Tiger is based on FBA even though he states it as mame just looked at his source on github https://github.com/tigerking/arcade/blob/master/license.txt .Still this should be better due to UI and later FBA code then tiger used over a year ago with his. Plus the fact that it's still being developed and is free (tigerMAME) you have to pay to save as I can remember. This also will run on later Android OS as I know his emulator has issues on ICS and Jellybean (but does not really affect play users). Sorry for the miss information

He left out a line of code. He will add in next version. But for some reason just press the set buttons then press use hardware keys to take off on-screen ones. For some reason the play is already mapped. Fully works on mine with all buttons mapped that way.

Yeah, the controllers are fully mapped but I would like to arrange them... Neogeo and CPS have differents button order.
Thanks for your response, I'll be wait for the next update.
This emulator is really good. Already impressive for an early/incomplete release.
What i notice:
-If you did not download the 100MB package, it will always ask you to do it
-Buttons are set. I tried to edit the xml file in the data/data folder (the format looks exactly like neodroid), but it did not work. I want to change it because I am very used to playstation controls with like MvC for example.
-I sometimes experience force close if i end the emulation (does not matter much)
-Cannot overwrite a saved state. Is this how it really works?

Ahhh, I didn't know it was free and based off a newer version. I'll have to keep an eye on this then. I was actually really let down when I got my Xperia Play and certain FBA games I was used to playing on my Dash 3g actually ran slower despite the Xperia Play's incredible processing superiority compared to the D3. I hope we see great things out of this because if the winmo version of FBA is any benchmark we should easily see full speed with sound on in most games whereas I currently play them all without sound.
GREAT
i hope can play golden ax
Hello!
What settings (keys) that you guys use this emulator? Could you pass me please, I am not getting set here
thank you
could the dev please add autofire option in the control options menu (fba on all other devices has this)
its a real chore rapidly stabbing away on physical buttons, not to mention bad for the hardware,
and rapid stabbing of the fire button on touchscreen controls is even worse, whole device shakes, etc.
cheers
thanks for making afba!
but would you let me know how to get into the software setting?
you know like, credits life difficulty some sort of.
because i'm playing dodonpachi dai-ou-jou.
but, it's default setting is easy difficulty with 'discontinue' on!
so i tried service on the menu but, it doesn't work.
I recommend FBA4DROID 1.65, is similar aFBA. :good:

As far as i know this is the first attempt at a windows 95/98 based game emulator for the android system, apparently the first beta will be released on the market "soon", first game being caeser 3, and other games based on the demand of thoses games, so if any of you guys have a favorite let him know as he will be working on games based on the demand for them.

" On the technical side -*the target devices bear an ARM processor, even though the original program required an Intel processor. I have written a desktop helper application that converts the machine code from Intel to ARM, so*relieving the need for*Winulator to waste precious ARM cycles for emulation. Also, some Windows APIs were implemented to provide the run-time environment necessary for the hosted program to work.*"

freelancer would a helluva game to port! i have never found a good enough replacement for that game.
Starcraft is working fine with this. It's amazing it is running at full speed
The only problem I encountered so far, is that protoss zealots are invisible due to some graphical bug. Their shadow can be seen however.
Overall, this has really high potential and I've seen on the forums that Age of empires is already in the making for it.
Good job!
I find it outstanding how the Devs managed to write an emulator? that runs so smoothly, im gobsmacked that it involves x86 games, windows no less, looking at the videos it runs better then some retro emulators like dosbox and the like, even though dos is an older system, and these windows games being more graphic intensive, in my opinion this guys project has major potential
I often wonder if he's found the mecha of android emulation in its effiency or if it just applies in this particular case, being windows emulation only?

The famous Wii/GameCube emulator starts its way to Android devices
It will never ever run at all on Xperia Play (well a real game) so dont ever think it will. But thought it was cool to put up for the gamers here getting newer devices and to talk about the future
DOWNLOAD GOOGLE PLAY
Description
THIS APP DOES NOT COME WITH ROMS
- You must have the right to a given ROM before you play it!
- A number of public domain games/demos are available at http://wiibrew.org/wiki/Main_PageThis is a public preview release of this Dolphin for Android.
This is currently in early beta testing, expect slow speeds, graphical glitches, and a myriad of problems with it.
If you're expecting reasonable speeds out of this, you are sorely mistaken. This will run slow on every single Android device, no matter if it is the most powerful one in the world.
Once we port our OpenGL plugin over, and you use a OpenGL ES 3 capable phone, this will improve a bit.
http://wiibrew.org/ has a bunch of free homebrew applications to try out.
One I particularly like to use is Starfield
http://sonicadvance11.dyndns.org/starfield.dol
Some caveats
- It will crash. Alot.
- Rotations don't work well or at all.
- There isn't /any/ input
- It might need to be force closed and ran multiple times to work.
- It renders video with the CPU entirely with our VideoSoftware backend.
Pros of this, is it will run on almost any hardware. Some limitations are
- Phones that support OpenGL ES 2 (99.8% of the Android Market)
- Phones that have at least 1Gb of RAM
This app is licensed by the GNU GPL v2, and the full source code is available through the public GIT repository at https://code.google.com/p/dolphin-emu/

WII and GameCube .
The app has been put up as proof of concept (Shows it does work if not very buggy as expected) to get people to donate to the project.
Darn it, Android 4.0 and up, can't attempt to run it on my Xperia Play 2.3.7, or my Honeycomb tablet
Thanks for sharing it though !
lol thats emulator'ception ... vba gx running in dolphin xD
Hey thanks for the support.
I can rebuild the APK later today to support Android 3.1 as well for people that want to mess with it.
I just got a nexus 10 and I'm going to put this on there so I can follow the updates. (Stock 4.2.2 is perfect from Google and needs no editing :thumbup

Looking at the current state of PSP emulation on XPlay, I'm not supporting that statement anymore.
Not long ago I would call delusional anyone hoping for decent PSP emulation on an android phone. Now I'm playing PSP games on my Xplay and even on a weak X10 mini pro.
I'm not sure about what to think anymore... It's really impossible? Are the devs underestimating themselves?

My second gen i5 runs Wii games with no problems, The Legend of Zelda Skyward Sword, Super Mario Galaxy 1&2, Metroid Prime 3 and many more run amazing with fullspeed, no bugs and in gorgeous FullHD.
There are only a few minor games I don't even play that may still have some bugs.
