[Q]how to rotate sgs2 screen landscape(permantly)for all apps/games away from hot cpu

I would like to know if there is an app or maybe dev can make a rom that will allow sgs2 (android) phone user to able to rotate left to landscape away from holding the back where the cpu is when it gets extremely hot when u browser the internet using dolphine hd or playing hd games for 30mins+ ..if u got a sgs2 phone u know what i mean.
example, when u playing samuria II vengence (using chainfire3d - nvida or powervr mode works 100%) holding the phone landscape sgs2 default landscape (rotate right mode) where ur left-hand is placed near the cpu/camera it will start to get really hot after 20mins+ play, but if u rotate/flip the phone around (only this game allow to orientated perfectly) ur hands r placed perfectly away from the cpu/camera which allow u to play long period without heat issue n the heat/cpu/camera r not covered by ur hands allowing the cpu to heat/cool in free air.
I have search all over the internet n has not come to any apps that will allow permantly rotate to that landscape view..the closest apps was control rotate but its only for text/browser net, but won't allow permantly for games.
anyone can help pls pm me or reply are welcome or ppl have similair problem or been searching every for an answer also welcome to add coments. i'm sure alot of sgs2 phone user know what im talking about. samsung has not thought about this before they make this phone about cpu heat issue, but can be easily fix with an opposite/flip landscape rotation left mode default lock. nokia n95 8gb allow all games to freely rotate which ever way the user wishes to..if only someone can fix this problem with the sgs2.
list of sgs2 games that will not rotate left/flip the default landscape view over even with auto rotation on (away from cpu when u are playing for 20-30min) [hand not over cpu/camera] are:
backstab (chainfire3d - qualcom mode works 100%)
spiderman hd
golf hd
golf 2 hd
hawx hd
splinter cell hd
modern combat hd
guerrillabob
avatar hd
real football 2011 hd
dungeon hunter 1 and 2 hd
assassin creed hd
hero of sparta hd
asphalt 6 hd
gt racing hd
gangstar hd
fishing kings hd
need for speed shift (chainfire3d - powervr mode works 100%)
....and many others
I have used all roms to test this problem but they do not rotate to that mode away from cpu or or fix the heat problem after 15min-30mins+ game play. i'm using latest litening' rom v1.5 thx to litepro, could someone please post this on his forum since i don't have enough post due to new member requirement. This way he could come up with a solution to his next rom version and i think it's a great idea, i'm sure all sgs2 phone owner would like this heat issue to go away or away from their hands/fingers when surfing net with dolphine hd or all those games i mentioned above with such an easy fix screen rotate left/flip lock opposite to cpu/camera when u use it for more than 15-20mins+.
thanks.

From the limited android dev experience I have, I don't think it's possible since the orientation is hardcoded into the app itself. A custom rom might be able to do it, but that would take quite some hacking.

Machinarium Demo - In Browser

Sorry it isn't in the market yet (not an app or game that can be installed) and I'm aware that most flash games should work but this one is particular fitting.
For those of you who don't know about this game its a point and click puzzle game with really fantastic graphics.
You can demo the game in browser here http://machinarium.net/demo/
I wanted to share this as kind of a flash test for us Android and TF users as it won't work on non-flash devices (er..hm, I'm pointing at you iDevices).
I recommend putting the game in fullscreen mode although I can't 100% tell you how to do it. It involves tapping as close to the top of the game screen as possible and touching a button that symbolizes full screen.

Wow very nice find thanks

I loved playing this game on my pc. Very good art, highly entertaining. It would make a great honeycomb game.

Hi,
I found a really helpful post to actually play Machinarium (and various other SWF games) on the transformer.
I got it to work full screen and works really well (there is a bit of slow down) but it's great.

Yet another Final Fantasy thread...

Ok guys i hate to bother you with this again.
But I keep reading posts where people talk about how awesome FF VII, VIII and IX run on their android phones with FPSE but i cant for the life of me get either one of them to work good enough to be playable.
I got the latest version of FPSE and ive tried different settings, overclocking, different ISOs and all that good stuff, but I have yet to find the right settings to make the games work well enough for me to want to play them xD
Of course i can get them to run, but either the sound is just plain bad, or the menu is invisible while fighting, or the resolution is just really crappy.
No matter what i do the quality of the FF games is really bad on FPSE.
I am really sorry to bring this up again, but if anyone is getting good results with FPSE please share some of your knowledge with me

Not fpse, PSXperia.

Works on 2.3.3 only
This will make ff7 run to perfection

Confirmed working for me
This post was brought to you by:
xperia play, xda app, gingerbread and SwiftKey x

just wondering, how does PSXperia handle games with multiple discs?
No idea what to do, I've read that on the PSP, you had to merge the discs into one .ISO, but again, no idea how I go about doing that... bleh

Aw man I had hoped there would be a way to improve FPSE's performance. Im really enjoying the new CyanogenMod. Works like a charm.
So only way atm to actually play PSX Games is to go back to 2.3.3 stock and figure out how to work PSXperia right?

yap.
As for multidisk,just extract the save file folder in sd/android/data/sony.ps.ncxa_70001 (Disk 1) and put it somewhere safe,then put in Disk2 data file,and put the safe file in there.It should work the same
If your using Cynanogen7 then maybe you can download PsPocket?

uhm where could i download pspocket? oO and what exactly would that do for me?

I'm assuming cm7 doesn't have It, so you can use it as an alt to fpse

I use FPSE to play Final Fantasy 7 and 9 perfectly fine...
Default settings except for the spu sound syc enabled in audio.

Same here. SAME SPECIFIC two games also: i played through 1/2 of FF7, and 3/4 of FF9....both were extremely playabale! Maybe a stutter here or there....but still had an awesome time playing them

I found it works better if you leave all video settings default, Don't use any of the frameskip options... Video had a higher fps for me this way. For better sound, enable it under Audio settings and make sure the .cue file for each game is in same folder as the .img/.bin files for that game. Hope this helps

Err ok ill have to give it another try. Thanks for the tips guys.

OK sorry guys, but I'm having some issues xD I can't figure out why the sound isn't working on any of my ff games its like all the effect sounds are bugged. Like when you find an item or so it's just a single beep instead of the whole sound... I'm using .img files.
Anyone got similar problems?

[Solved] FPSe - Graphics very pixelated

The emulator work great but the graphic not good as it should be
I changed all the setting to the highest but steel no change
I tried psx4droid but its cruse when i load rom
The solution:
Update to the last Fpse version, then download this plugin:
http://perso.numericable.fr/schtruck/libopenglplugin.so
To load opengl plugin, just run FPse into softmode, then go to MISC menu and into the bottom choose Load OpenGL plugin,
Quit Fpse and restart to Apply change.

Its PlayStation one. Its pixelated. Some PC emulators add a blurring effect but the game should be the same.

Try update fpse. Version 0.11.1 support opengl plugin and graphic is much better.

Thank you!!
i updated and now the graphic are perfect , just like on the computer
Thanks again!

what did you change besides updating from the market? I updated to the 1/9/12 (Version 11.9) and its still pixelated.

has anyone else notice a slight lag in most games?
I have a lower powered single core device (xperia play) and it runs 100% perfect on everything I throw at it, no lag, zero frameskip just absolutely perfect.
playing the same games on my dual core tegra2 device and it's laggy as hell sometimes. (final fantasy games)
I notice that if I remove the "frame limiter" it flys... like 100fps almost unplayably fast... tried several different custom roms + stock... nothing helps
Anyone have a fix for this? Can someone post their settings for system & video etc if they have theirs running good? is there a magic plug-in I'm missing or something?
I know this device is capable of running this 100% 60+fps zero frame skip... it's either a setting I'm missing or a bug somewhere.

i've experienced the slowdowns from when I got my transformer shortly after it came out... From what I'm reading what I'm seeing is normal for the transformer. I was running the version before this and also running the newest verison in the market, small change but the issue is still there.
people seem pleased to see 50-60 fps on games like FF7, I guess I'm a little too picky... especially when I know it can do better... and I've *seen* it do better.
That video plug-in gives that buttery smoothness I am expecting to see but is very glitchy in the games I tried. Graphical errors and anomolies everywhere. Looks nice though when it's not messing up.
I might hit up the author of the program to see if he can look at it.
remove the frame limiter on fpse and load up FF7 and print framecount and play a bit, very smooth but way too fast i'm seeing 100-120fps, put the frame limit back on and it drops to "60fps" but stutters and lags like it's dropping below 30fps. specifically in fights etc and parts with high polygon count.
I'm sure it's a glitch somewhere.

I use both an Xperia Play and a Motorolla Razr, and when playing any of the three games I'm going for (Grandia, Xenogears, Suikoden II) the sides are corrupted with part of the onscreen art, but more importantly many of the video screens are completely whited out. Not necessarily FMV, but nonplayable story elements.
Anyway, if anyone has any ideas, I'd really like to try the openGL routine.

also having issues with FF7. tried a bunch of different settings but cant get it to my liking. Its perfect when your running around the 1st reactor but when you get in a random fight everything slows. The music, frame rate; everything. OR its faster than normal on the map then when getting in a random fight its STUPID fast. so fast that the white hand cursor that selects things is solid ( should be blinking) lol. I kinda gave up on it, too annoying to play either way.

I played xenogears for several hours. it's playable. the graphics are smooth. some cut scenes are laggy, but overall is fine. hope they fix it for ff7 battle menu.

Does anyone know what version of opengl the plugin for fpse is??
I heard someone say its 1.1 or something but for most phones running emulators wouldnt they have opengl es 2.0 natively like our tf's ?? Would make sense to have the most used and native version as the plugin wouldnt it?
I dont know all i know is its pretty as hell!! but crap fps atm Hope an update to the emu or plugin will help

I have version 0.11.14 and lastest opengl plugin. But when I use opengl plugin after quit and open FPSE again it crash. I wondering how to run FPSE in "softmode"?
I use FPSE in my Samsung Galaxy S2 run in ICS 4.0.3 leak XXLPH.

OpenGL plugin is amazing graphic improvement but I have no more fps, now I have fpm (frames per minut)

New version is out: FPse 0.11.40
here are the changes:
- Fixed sound! really perfect now! especially if you set SPUSYNC from audio menu
- Added OpenGL-ES 2.0 blitter mode as default software. Very fast and smooth, and bilinear filtered!
if you want old software mode, just go to MISC menu and select Old Software drawing then restart FPse.
- Updated openGL plugin with fixes and support for Rockchip GPU.
- Fixed Start menu of GT1 in soft mode

Legend Of Legaia
Hi..
i dunno if this thread is still alive or active, but, i just want to know what is the best settings for FPSE to obtain he best graphics without suffering lagginess. i am playing Legend Of Legaia on my stock Nexus 7 2012 and when i use the OpenGL plugin, yes, there is a graphics improvement. Vahn's hair is not soo messed up and pixellated..but when i get into fight scenes the game stutters and lags esp when using arts (attacks) with my characters and kinda framerate drops..but when i don't use openGL, framerate is alright but graphics are cappy..legend of legaia does still look cool on PS1..but i never imagined it still has a low quality graphics when used in emulators. haha

Renewal: Emulators for PSX Comparison.

Right a Difference between Emulators:
FPSE:
Always 55-60 FPS
Smooth Emulator that is One of the Best applications out there for Old school Players Such as myself . It provides Now a Optional feature to enable Touch pad support for games.
Now has a Optional Graphics Change & Has All Round fast Emulation.
The UI is not very Attractive.
PSXperia:
Always 40-55 FPS
Emualtes well Options are Hard to Configure and UI is More User Friendly.
Smoothness Of gameplay is depending on many Things Software render or Hardware. Very Confusing for New people. But Is just a Tap to play.
Touchpad Support for 4.x.x
Tiger PS
Bog Standard Not Advanced Basic Emulation
Other Emulators are:
Fakes,Copy's, or Just stolen from Sources that are/aren't open Source.

uh don't forget touchpad support

What about Tiger PSone, he has his emulator's source code published.

#1 - psxperia
#2 - fpse
other ps1 emulators are useless .
i wish psxperia could run parasite eve ...

Oh ya Tiger's Apps Have there own source So il add.

Maybe put Software Render Might Fix It My Own Legal copy of Rayman Ran at 30 FPS with hardware render with Software It runs about 60FPS

Chrono Cross runs ok on FPSE (menus are under 40fps) but cant start at all on PSXperia...
I use both world...

FPSE could do with a Play skin with on screen L2 & R2 only possibly L3 & R3 once ICS is rolled out and its easier to make use of the touch pad

PSXperia, Is just what i was looking for, is great

Weird lol chrono runs fine for me using psxperia

Chrono Cross or Chrono Trigger?

I gotta say i prefer FPSE over PSXPERIA, since its easier and faster to get the games running. Had a lot of trouble with PSXPERIA. And since FPSE supports Touchpads... a charm! <3
