I couldn't help posting this because i became happy when i read it...
Tiger Lab apps(nds demo emulator)
[Only open for limited days]
1. VERY EARLY PROTOTYPE VERSION(BETA) FOR DEMO ONLY
2. It is very very slow so you shall not expect to play NDS game with this emulator.
3. It is used to DEMO that NDS game can be played on android phone
It is shown that NDS WILL be played some days on android phone, maybe 2012 or later
WHAT IS NEXT WORK (Huge efforts)
1. More powerful phones
2. Dynarec CPU simulation
3. GPU simualtion improvement for speed greatly.
4. Hareware render (eg, OpenGL ES)
5. FPU. Since NDS need lots of float calculation. FPU can improvement performance greatly. Later ARM will have FPU in feature
If you do not have a high-end phone, do not try NDS game. Even if you have a high-end phone, just try some small games(none 3D) but it is also quite slow.
How to demo (not play) NDS game
1. Put your nds ROM files to /roms/nds folder in sdcard.
Note. zip nds rom is not supported, you shall extract them to be *.nds files
2. Launch TigerNDS which will load those NDS roms in game list
3. Select one game and play
It is just DEMO and speed is very very very very slow even on high-end phones. You shall not expect to play nds game with the emulator.

Its amazing what a skilled developer can make and pretty soon I'm sure we'll see a app for everything and this is just one more off the list. I can't wait to see how they manage using both screens but im sure it'll be awesome!
Good job devs! Keep it up!

Might work well for the Kyocera Echo
This looks promising!
I know it's just a proof of concept currently, but why are they saying it would need new devices to run well? It seems like, since the DS and our devices are both ARM based, with some obvious modifications to run arm code natively and not emulated, you could get it running pretty well. At least that's what I had gathered from previous discussions about it.

In order to emulate a nintendo DS your phone needs to have twice the power. But to be honest I never thought the DS was too powerful... So I bet once the emulator is out of alpha it should run fine on a galaxy S. But who knows were still waiting for Zodttd to finish the N64 emulator
Wow! This would be awesome!! I miss Mario Bros on my phone
I tried on HD2, and yes is very very very slow, but it works.

Of course, I am familiar with emulators and how, as a rule of thumb, your device should be 10 times more powerful to expect any sort of decent emulation. I'm just saying, maybe they can avoid emulating certain things and run native ARM DS code natively, vastly speeding it up. It would be REALLY hard though, requiring vast knowledge of ARM assembly from what I've heard. Meh, Zodttd. He should stick to iPhone imo. Android will probably get some decent open source emulators soon enough.

decent emulation takes about 5-10 times the power to emulate
and ive heard that emulating the DS is extremely difficult
as for zod i honestly doubt he is still working on that project paul seems to be the one that is on top of the project now
I'll try it out with my Atrix tonight, maybe post a youtube video. Is there a standard game we are using?
I've been trying to run a .nds file on this. The ROM is Pokemon Platinum (128mb). It's on /roms/nds and shows up in the app, however when I click on it it flashes to a black screen then goes back to the rom selection screen.

LOL!!!! That's hilarious! But that might be true too.
Sighh..
I remember the time when psp can emulate ds rom even though the frame rate per second was really low! (Average 17fps!)
I stopped using handhelds after the Gameboy Advance.. besides, it feels like all these games are the same rehash with little story change and somewhat better graphics.. there doesn't seem to be any new creative things being done in the handheld market.. so I say why bother killing your phone trying to emulate the NDS..
with that in mind, we are looking at quad-core phones by the end of 2012 for SURE, and dual-core by fall 2011 I hope, so just wait a few more months haha.
my bigger concern about emulation and games on the Android is multitouch.. even my Desire on 2.3.3 (CM7) has issues where multitouch fails, rendering even most old games unplayable (how the hell can I run and jump in Mario at the same time like the real gamepad allows.. if we wanna improve the quality of gameplay on our phones, we should push the manufacturers for better hardware that'll allow coders to provide for better multitouch capability.
just my 2 cents..
I wouldn't worry about that, bluetooth gamepads are on the way.
I use a Wiimote with classic controller for emulators at the moment.
NDS emulation can be slow even on PC, so don't expect phones to run games playable
alienhunt: more like spring 2011 for dual core.
i'll be getting a tegra2 phone in the mail next week.
If you do not have a high-end phone, do not try NDS game. Even if you have a high-end phone, just try some small games(none 3D) but it is also quite slow.

Can somebody make better explanation? How high end should devices be? Would current devices (Desire, Galaxy S) be enough or do we need to wait for dual core?
Bluetooth gamepads are nice, but i think they are more like "i can do that" than really being usable. Games on the phones are meant to be played anywhere. And i don't want to carry a wiimote around with me just to play games on my phone.
I have tried several emulators on my HD2 and games are quite playable despite HD2's limit of maximum 2 touch points. Biggest problem is the feedback of the controls. You cannot feel controls, which means you can easily miss it.
I think best on screen controls would be ones that are fully customizable. Ability to move and resize controls to match your device, finger size and playing position would be killer feature.

hi guys
it's long time that haven't see any update for "tiger nds " and " nds4droid "
on first day that was very hopeful , but ...
is there anybody here that have news about them ?
or is there any other emulator for NDS ?

I think you can kiss that dream goodbye. The play isn't strong enough to emulate a nintendo DS. plus, nintendo ds has dual screen. How did you intend to play that on your phone?
common sense please.
the play has much bigger chance of emulating Psp/GCube than NDS...that Dual Screen kills it e-zly
the play is strong enogh. The NDS is not more powerfull thzan the n64 and it is more easy to emulate becouse the ds has an ARM processor.
The NDS shouldn't be a big thing to emulate... But nintendo can get hostile towards much development on a console whose games are still in the market.
Bleem is the paramount case.

Yeah but still, how about the dual screens?
Im sure the play has enough screen space to accomodate 2 screens, also its touch screen which helps.
Havent looked into ds emulation for a long time, but the main problems were with a lack of gyroscope and microphone (all of which the play has). Am I missing something though? Why couldnt the play emulate both screens?

Dual screens isn't that hard to overcome. Display them side by side. Done. That's how I run the ds emulator for pc.

Thing is, the Playstation and its games were still selling well at the time.
Well of course you CAN do dual display on a single display, i'm not an idiot. But what I mean is that the screens will be pretty small, which i think would suck.. That's why i think the NDS emulator for the play is a pointless idea.
The only good solution i can come up with is if you could switch between the screens somehow. YOu have one screen at the time, in fullscreen mode. Then with the press of a button jump to the other screen.
I haven't played the Nintendo DS that much, so i don't know if you really need both screens at the same time at all time.

just look at old psp !
the cpu was poor , but all of us have seen that how Sony made big games with best possible and fantastic resolution on that. " like god of war - resistance ..."
i think our xperia play is strong enough to support NDS .
======================================
NDS cpu - WIKIPEDIA :
CPU: Two ARM processors
* 32 bit ARM946E-S main CPU; 67 MHz clock speed. Processes gameplay mechanisms and video rendering.
=====================================
when psx released , on first step was something like current ver. of "tiger NDS " or " NDS4droid "
very slow ...
i think we can hope to improve that emulators. there are so many beauty games on NDS that worth to try for . ps1 games are good , but is better to play it on widescreen , home theater , ...
but NDS games are specially for little screen , 4 inc
i'm , personally eager to see and buy a prefect emulator for NDS .
i've send mail to tigerNDS developer and request him to keep on nice try .
please guys ,
let's do it together
The kyocera echo would be the best for NDS emulation XD

what you have to keep in mind is that you need almost 12x the power of the **** you're trying to emulate. So if you are gonna emulate a n64, you need a computer with 12x much power.
and you mix up emulate and port. I think you can port really good quality games from lets say PSP to xperia play. But i don't think you can emulate it.

The 12x the power thing is debatable but is besides the point.
We do not need to emulate everything. The play already has the an arm processor. no need to emulate one of those. that saves us a lot of the processing power to emulate other things.

The N64 sports a 74mhz processor, faster than the NDS' 67mhz ARM. Since the Play emulates the n64 just fine there's no technical limitation in this respect.
Not to mention there's no consistent formula for judging the power needed for emulation.
There's no real reason you shouldn't be able to emulate the DS on our phones. Just not everyone will enjoy it. Me, I have a 3ds if I want to play the games, so I don't really care about the emulator either way

as i said before, i haven't played the NDS, so i don't know it's power. I thought it was better then Nintendo 64, but i guess i was wrong.
All that talk about 12x much power. That's just what i've learned from this forum reading the threads in the developers section.
The reason i'm not interested in a NDS emulator is the lack of a good solution for the dual screen.

The whole 12x more powerful thing is a bit iffy, the PSP is not 12x more powerful in specs than the N64 but it emulates it perfectly...
If you dont know what this app is, its a Nintendo DS emulator for android phones that was never taken out of BETA.Since this has been removed from the market i think all development has stopped, i think this is a real shame because it has a lot of potential especially with higher and higher specs on android phones.
There are probably similar threads already but i think the subject has run dry and i want to keep the idea of such a cool app in android owners minds.
I was wondering if any developer would take up the job of either starting fresh or adding onto NDS4Droid app. I would but i have no clue where to start when it comes to coding so i cant be much help
The reason i have posted this into the xperia play section is because i would hope that eventually it would be controller optimised.
This is my second thing i have posted in the forums so sorry if i have done anything wrong. Feel free to correct me on anything
+1
This was just the kinda thing I was hoping for, seeing all the groundwork on it going to waste is just a shame :/ Hopefully an awesome Dev will pick it up !
Do you people understand why this project never got very far?
It was because of the hardware capability of our phones. It was not enough for a fully functional DS Emulator which is why development had stopped.
And even if someone did want to continue the Development of this for some unknown reason, then it is impossible because the source code never got released.
The hardware is stron enough, NDS is compareable to N64 but much lower resolution.

Try TigerNDS it supports physical button mapping
http://apps.tigerplay.info/
Also I do belive that with enough optimisations NDS emultion could run full (or near full) speed on the xperia play. Obviously you need to get a talented developer with enough free time on thier hand to actuall bother doing this.
If a new emu never gets made then we could use this current one with future hardware when it gets powerfull enough but thats still a good couple of years away and also none of the current NDS emulators have audio emulation...
Of course the hardware is good enough for the ds we are getting psp games soon which are better graphics than the ds.....

That is because the those games are direct ports and not emulated. Emulators require like x3+ hardware of the actual console which is why some PSX/N64 Games still lag because they are using "Emulation".
The games will be ports and not ran by an emulator so just remember that
NDS has like a 66mhz ARM processor in it. It should be possible hardware wise, but not so ideal in the physical side of things. Showing two 3" screens on one 4" screen will look awkward, especially since the screens are supposed to be one on top of the other.

I was hoping someone would bring this fact to light.
Quality DS emulation is definitely possible. I'm waiting on one of these NDS emulators to offer the option to only emulate/display one of it's screens. A lot of the times, the second screen could be completely ignored, and that'd drastically improve performance.
All I'd really want an NDS emu for is Phantasy Star Zero... that alongside many other DS games can be played using only one screen.
i'm sure that xperia play can support it . it's looooooooong time that i hope to see update for tiger NDS or NDS4droid
i'm really really eager to help someone ( donate ) want to start this project . i've sent sooooo many mails to tiger , but no answer .
lets try it together and find a way to start it guys.

PSP had better graphic than NDS, im pretty sure Xperia Play have more than enough power to run the game.

Hello xda members,
I found something interesting when i looked onto my favourite website for Android: androidnext.de
Some people ported the Id Tech 4 onto Android. This was possible due to the fact that this engine has
been made Open Source a while ago. The game itself isn't Open Source, but if you own a copy of it
you can copy the needed files. Note that the work is in early stages, so you can't play the game at the moment
because they need to fix a lot of bugs of the engine on Android.
But hey, wait a little bit and we maybe play Id Tech 4 games like Quake 4, Wolfenstein and so on. :good:
And the Xperia Play would be the perfect handset to play on it.

Sent from my R800i using xda app-developers app
If this works, I dont see how our device can run Doom 3.... I may very well be wrong.... guess only time will tell. I still own my original bought on Day 1, limited edition Doom 3 for original XBOX on mint condition. and the suedo sequel Resurrection of Evil. Love those games. Doom 4 will be coming out with supposedly support for Virtual Reality

All in all this would be bada$$ if it works.
Awesome! I love Doom 3. I hope it gets proper Xperia Play controls. :fingers-crossed:
Thanks for the info.
My heart's racing! This will be awesome!
Funny though, on another forum, there was a thread based on what games would be awesome on mobile, I said Doom 3 for Android and said why and believed that it would be possible as time goes because of it's low requirements and the fact that it was released for Linux as well. This is so cool!
@jgregoryj1
I think it's possible to bring it on our Xperia Play. The Engine is Open Source, so with right optimations in regards to CPU, GPU, RAM,
Texture size, resolution etc. it can be done. By the way: The guy in the video uses an HTC Desire HD, spec wise almost the same (except more RAM than Play has). Also, Doom 3 is available on Xbox and this console is weaker than our Xperia Play. So, i think it will be a great expansion to our game library. Hope, it will come soon.:fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed:

In all fairness it used a heavily modified engine of Tech 4; we can play Quake 3 on our phones but not Jedi Academy which also uses a modified engine since the requirements and certain assets do change in the process. You can clearly tell by looking at the specs for Doom 3 that it will be possible on current high-end and future devices. The Play sadly will never see it.
Kokak is actually planning on porting Doom 3 and I think that will be the port that eventually gets it right. His DoomGLES is incredible. http://www.droidgamers.com/index.php/game-news/interviews/4324-interview-with-kokak-games-about-future-ports-network-support-for-current-games-and-more

I have been out of the loop lately. How is N64 emulation on the Xperia Play? What emulator should I use? Is Ocarina of Time perfectly playable without slowdowns?
I recently played OOT all the way through on gingerbread using mupen64plus-ae, that supports analogs. It was 20 fps I think, so pretty much fullspeed, maybe a little bit less in Hyrule field. But since then the emulator has gotten better.
N64oid is faster, but doesn't support analog pads as far as I know, and is no longer in development; it does support analogs on ICS and newer firmwares though.
Thanks so much for the answer.
I run ExtremeKernel with Elite Gamer 2.0. A very clean and unbloated system, purely for gaming.
I have no idea what performance I can expect. But your report is very nice to hear...guess I just have to look into it .
Huh, I suppose I didn't mention that I run stock 2.3.4 de-bloated, with lupus kernel... so yea, with your setup it should run equally as good or better, also counting that emulators have gotten better.
Well about the only games you cant play are the games that need the ram expansion pack like conkers bad furday. Games like banjo kazooie. Or hames made earlier in the n64's life pkay awesomely on the play! I hipe the emus get better because I really do not think it is a hardware problem. Most emus arent exactly optimised for the specific hardware you pkay them on.
