N64oid!

This is a great Nintendo 64 emulator now available on the market!
Here's the link:
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.androidemu.n64
For me, using an Xperia X10 and Advent Vega (Tegra 2) Banjo-Kazooie runs smoothly.
But Super Mario 64 runs too fast! I asked yongzh (the developer) to add a framelimiter, so hopefully it'll be implemented soon.
I'm amazed at this, especially after looking at how hard development of alternative N64 emulators has been.
E.g. http://forums.ngemu.com/misc-n64-discussion/139653-porting-mupen64plus-android.html

Nice! Says it's incompatible with my device (ZTE Blade) tough, no love for ARMv6?

have to try on my huawei u8800/ideos X5

that looks pretty impressive.
I wonder how it'll run on a Xoom...

I plays really good, I found mariokart to run a bit faster than it should and Killer Instinct was playing really well but the menu screen came out larger than it should. Lucky I remember what the options were.

Wow, Majora's Mask, on my SGS.. Oo And, it is too fast !! Desactivate frameskip helps, and it's more smooth, but sound keeps emulated too fast...
Updates will be great, results are really impressive !!
Screen is stretched, i know that Glide plugin on PC helps to do a true widescreen... Could be great to adapt it !

WOOHOOO!!!!!

I'll go try it out real quick, so far I've only used it on my HTC Droid Incredible and Droid X, works great on both of those.
Edit: It runs really smooth and looks pretty good, it seems like .n64 files run smoother than .z64 files anyone else noticed this?

Well legend of zelda oot run almost perfectly on my atrix except in the beginning cutscenes of the game the sound glitched a bit but the frame rate was still good. But when I tried to get the sword in the beginning the screen turned black but the scound is current still playing perfectly. I dont really care about the imperfections with this emulator I just can believe one finally got released for android and how well it works.
Edit:
Apparently when I went to get the sword in the beginning my screen went black but the sound still worked. Still the creators did an awesome job worth it.
Zelda oot:
I think it was a random glitch cause i am now at the duko tree and no lag so far.
Edit again:
it happened again. Something is causing the video to go out and turn the screen black otherwise perfect frame rate for zelda oot
Super Mario Kart:
The game menu it self plays perfectly but when im try to keep the accelorator(forward movement) going, steering the kart and fire an object on the touch screen it seems to freak out. It makes it when i press A it only accelerates for a bit then stops then I have to repress a to start again.
1080 SnowBoarding(Love this game):
I tried playing 1080 snowboarding it ran perfectly till i tried playing a level then it just froze.
Goldeneye:
I just finished playing the first level of goldeneye on agent. It ran almost perfectly. There were a few spots of lag but over all goldeneye is not ment for this controller set up. But again there were no major hicups with game. I was able to complete a the first mission.

Ive sent him an email (his email address is in the market)
EDIT: He´s answered my mail and said that it would be possible to make it compatible on ARMv6 devices but he doesn´t wanna do it because he has tested it on his htc legend and said that it was very choppy and he doesn´t wanna get bad ratings in the market because of ppl who expect the emu to run at fullspeed on devices with insufficent hardware. So I guess we´re out of luck.

anyone here also using their hd2 to play n64oid?
mines runs like 2-4 games perfectly but the rest the sound is horrible and it lags sometimes like starfox, mario kart, zelda oot & mm, etc... is it cause i have the first gen of snapdragon cpu??? i have to set the frameskip to 10 and autoframe skip to get good gameplay but only on a few.
never the less this is awesome i cant wait till after some more updates 1.1 is already out =D

What rom should i attach the game to? I have never heard of having to do this.

ha im not a moron i have disabled sound and i know sound makes many games laggy (was using daedalus psp for a long time and realize that the first time i got it) i just wanted to know cause newer up to date phones like the samsung vibrant, galaxy s, etc run it better with less hic up i just wanted to know if anyone else realized this and wanted someone to clarify it
p.s. i wasnt complaining i was just curious curiousity and complaining are completely different please dont just start accusing

Banjo-Kazooie has some graphical glitches though it has always been a problematic game to emulate if memory serves me right. Also FPS could be better in many places despite the intense frameskip going on (HTC Vision at 1.5 GHz)

Yep, Banjo Kazpoie has some issues with graphics in emulation. But its still fully playable on my Fascinate, almost near full speed.

Thanks a lot for asking him! Let's hope he'll manage to make the emulator more efficient. Seeing how well FPse runs it's a shame...

Anyone using the wii classic pro controller with this? I can't seem to find key mappings that make sense for Goldeneye... Any suggestions?

Those were the original controls:
You use the main analog stick to move Bond around, and you use the L button and the main analog stick combined to aim your weapon and lock the camera on a certain position. B is to reload, A to switch weapon, Left and Right C to Strafe, Up and Down C to look up or down, Z to use weapon, R is the same as L.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Maybe B to ZL, A to ZR, C buttons to a,b,x,y, Z to R?
Or C buttons to the right analog stick, a to b, b to y? (Maybe Z to a, if it doesn't work well on R?)

very choppy on Nexus One playing Zelda oot.anyone know a good set up to run smoother than the pre setup?

Emulation on the G2X

Wow this phone is fast! N64 and PS1 at full fps with sound! Almost kind of boring when you don't have to tweak a ton of settings just to make the roms playable
I've been into emulation on every device I've owned, so its how I benchmark the relative performance from one device to the next. Coming from a N900, this G2X blows it out of the water. My N900 could play SNES at full fps but turning the sound on would slow it down. The N900 could play N64 and PS1 but they were really slow at ~10fps skipping at least two or three frames without sound.
So N64 and PS1 emulators were the best I had to throw a the phone and it handles it no problem. I'd like to see what the phone can really do. Its starting to feel like this phone might be pretty close to my laptop (older 2Ghz C2D) in emulation performance; blows my mind to even think that. Is there a PS2 emulator anywhere? I read a rumor that said Nvidia might put out a PS2 emulator but I wasn't sure how true that was. I'm assuming if Nvidia puts the emulator out then it would be optimized for Tegra2 and actually use both CPU cores and the graphics chip so the games might actually run OK-ish.
If not, what is everyone else using to push the phone? I don't really care about quadrant benchmarks or anything like that.
Oh BTW, this is my first Android device so excuse the noobness of me not knowing what software exists

haha yeah its my first I've been reading about Android since it was announced and I've played with different versions on emulators and I actually had my N900 dual booting Froyo, but this is my first actual Android device. I'm a little bit of a software nerd so I like trying out different OS's. Meego, Maemo, WebOS, Palm, WinMo CE 6 and 5, Android 1.5-2.3; I've spent some time with all of them. I even lurked for a while before my join date. Not too much of a noob in general, just with the world of 3rd party software for Android.
So anyway, back on topic. Does a PS2 emulator exist for Android? What's everyone running to test out their new G2X?

And everyone should have to walk to school...five miles, through the snow, up hill...both ways.
But anyway, It really is an amazing device...much more powerful than the netbook I bought just last year. But then again, I remember just how crazy fast my home built 50MHz 486 with 512 Kb of RAM was. Amazing time to be alive...
Damn, I feel old...

No PS2 Emulator out for Android yet.
As a general rule it takes around 4 or 5 times the processing power to correctly emulate a system (give or take). The PS2 has a 128bit processor running at 300MHz with multiple coprocessors. I think we are getting close but not quite there.

Yeah I realize the G2x won't run PS2 perfectly, especially if its run completely off the CPU it might not run at all. That's why I was hoping there was more to the Nvidia PS2 emulator rumor...
Oh well, it's not like I wont have fun playing with N64 and PS1, its just too easy.

Just like older phones with SNES and other emulators, you have frame skipping and stuff to help the frame rate.
I think the PS2 is overkill but whatever.
I just think its funny that Sony is coming out with a new PSP Android phone to run PS1 games that we can already do for free using our own backups.

I've only tried N64oid and FPse, both work really well for me so far. I'm just using the onscreen controls right now. I tried to get the accelerometer working for the left dpad/stick but I still have some tweaking to do to get it the way I like it. Still, the accelerometer doesn't feel natural with these games, they weren't really designed to be controlled that way.
Id like to get one of those iControlpads, its bluetooth so it should work. It's just kinda of pricy so I'll wait to hear of other people using it with a G2X first.
speaking of slide out gamepads, I'm surprised something like This hast come out yet. It would be perfect for me.

Yea i like the IcontrolPad as well, but like you said its a bit expensive.
If you don't mind not being able to hold the phone this one is great
http://www.amazon.com/Wii-Retro-Wireless-Controller-Nintendo/dp/B001ULJGDU
Its the Wii retro controller with bluetooth built in, no nunchuck needed. People have used it with Blueputdroid.
I figure I can just plug the Micro HDMI into the TV and USB for power with this controller and have portable classic gaming

Nice! If anyone gets that bluetooth remote working let me know please...I would love to use some emulators using hdmi and the BT controller!
I dont have any on my phone yet cause I really dont like playing on the touchscreen...but with the controller would be sweet!
Sent from my LG-P999 using XDA App

so far until someone works on the drivers or the bluputdroid dev supports the phone its not going to happen on a stock G2x rom. Ive seen it does work on CM7 roms however I haven't tried myself.
I'm half tempted to try a nightly but i like having a stable phone.
my controller should be here any day so if HDMI out is working on CM7 I will probably give it a try

I currently use a one handed bluetooth gamepad. It works with Fpse, Psx4droid, N64oid, Gameboid, Snesoid and Gensoid. Plus i have the belt clip kickstand. I just sit back on the bus or train to work and play FF7, Super Smash Brothers, Tekken Advanced, Killer Instinct and of course Sonic.

Just ordered one of those from Ebay...shipping from Europe though...and the wait is killing me. I thought it looked iffy at first. Glad to hear you've had good results with it. Not a lot of inputs...but I guess four buttons and a directional is enough for most anything.

You should be able to find all but the n64, emulator which should be re released soon.

FPse FTW! PS1 in the palm of your hand!

I just want to let people know what an awesome app FPse is. If you dont know what it is its a PlayStation 1 emulator. I had tried it out on my previous phone the MyTouch Slide but wasnt very happy with the performance. Using it with my G2x though is like holding a little Playstation in my hand. So far I have beaten Resident Evil Nemesis on it and I'm working on Metal Gear Solid and Road Rash 3D, both of which run beautifully on the G2x. No need for Tegra Zone games on here, I'd rather play full length PS1 games!

Is it comparable to PSXdroid?

this runs so flawlessly way better than psx4droid
anyone know how to make the l1,r1 and start and select buttons to display in landscape mode?
edit: nevermind I got it

This emulator beats psx4droid hands down.

FPse is much better than psx4droid. The bios os avaliable online just google it. I find emuparadise to be the best rom site around. The only thing with roms on emuparadise is alot of them are .ecm file so u need to unecm them but that software is available on thier site

bios
I need help I couldn't figure out how to use this app I download the Tom's but I can't seem to find the BIOS after extracting can some one give me a link for spyro

It might be better, but for the average user I think the "free" price tag of psxdroid sounds better

The price tag of free Is always good. Its always nice to support our app makers. It keeps them coming back to the android platform.
I tried both and fpse was way more polished. psx4droid only became free when It was pulled from the market.

The BIOS file is completely separate from ROM files. The same BIOS file is needed for all PS1 ROM files. I'm sure theres a rule against posting links to files like that so just google "scph1001.bin" and you shouldnt have a problem finding it.

Have you tried any other games? N64oid is still very new and conkers bad fur day was the most advanced n64 game made. Generally it's last to be supported. I'll try it on my play to test this theory, as I'm curious.
Edit: Yep, I'm getting the same thing. You'll just have to wait till an updated version with better compatibility comes out.

Cruisin' USA sort of works, it's very choppy even with the frame skip set to Max (10). Also some graphics are garbled.
Checking in on Smash Bros also, works great but no faces. Some slow down and audio loss occasionally.

As a general rule of thumb, a machine needs to be 3 times more powerful to be able to emulate properly.
The Xperia Play can emulate the N64 flawlessly. But it takes time and can be a little tricky to program.
Developers generally work for free in their spare time. If you want to donate to them to help them pay for their time and get the emulator working better, quicker, then feel free to donate to them.

Hard to tell. Theoretically yes imo. But would be so much work to get it optimised. Will never happen.

enerp8 said:

Emulating on a device only three times as powerfull requires a lot of optimised code that will take a long time (It took quite some time before snes was even decently running on pc's, and a lot more coding is done for pc then the xperia play).
Non-perfect (not all games working, some a bit choppy etc.) PS2 emulation on phones will probably come when ps1 and n64 emulators work nearly as flawless on any mobile phone of that time as snes runs now on nearly all (smart)phones.
Personally I think it will take 3-4 years (xperia play 3 probably).

Some more I tried today:
International Track & Field - DOESN'T WORK.
Mystical Ninja - TOO SLOW.
Paperboy - CRASHES.

Omg i want conkers bad fur day to work sooo bad! want to play some Cavemen vs Rapters!! hehe i find the emulator runs a little slow sometimes...especially for Zelda OOT...any suggestions? or is there a newer/faster emulator out yet?

Doom 64 no go =/ loads just fine but right when u start the game u start inside the ground so u cant move or anything

Shame that every game that works with N64oid plays very smooth on the DX2 and gTablet, but control like drunken sailors (some okay ok).
Most games play slow mo on the Play, but the few that are smooth like Mario Kart and Mario Brothers play sweet.
Ironic.

Wrong rule of thumb
Its not 3x the power of the original system.
Its 12x to emulate is perfectly.
Just go look at the Gamecube emulator thread

Hey so I just seen on this market pretty bad compatibility for a lot of devices it seems, the data download is choppy and the audio is reportedly out of sync for SOME devices other devices just find the game to laggy.
Having tried it myself i find it very choppy Xperia Play controls work fine for me, although other users are reporting problems, this could be down to bad downloads/ custom roms.
Not to mention it's like over a year late, guess its in preparation for episode II

no one waste there money on this its so slow!

You are better off buying sonic CD, its much longer and its much more fun. Sonic 4 just plain sucks.

It's working smoothly for me with xperia play controls... Stock rom with root and some system apps uninstalled, and supercharged and i have chainfire installed....
Edit-Played through first level with only one lag spike which didn't really affect me since it was so small... Touchpaxz do not work but the d-pad does and I can't see why you would want the Touchpaxz to work so I'd say buy the game... No idea what's wrong with your version... Maybe try deleting and re downloading the sd data....

Working fine for me too, Sonic CD runs better but I guess if I change my v6 settings it will run a little better.
PS. I played through first level with next to no lag, a slight bit of slow down in places but bearly noticeable.

Blocked from the market for me. It's saying incompatible with my device.
EDIT: Went ahead and *forced* it anyway... and now I'm wondering why in the hell they blocked Xperia PLAY users from seeing this. It's working perfectly with Xperia PLAY's physical gamepad and I can't quite complain about the performance either.

While Sonic CD was a much bigger deal, this is kind of a big deal for me too... you guys don't know how much I bugged Sega about putting this on PSP (while most games just suck on touch-screens, platformers got the shorter end of the stick by far) and this kinda makes up for it.

Got enough games on your phone?

I downloaded it fine through the market, may just be blocking specific models

gonna download and have a look myself, got it on my PS3 and love sonic games!! lets see what its like on my mobile

Can confirm that it works fine on the Play controls.

I just bought Sonic 4 on my old Droid x and then tried the apk on my Xperia PLAY and I can tell you right now that the controls most certanly work. The menus are all touch but the game itsef supports the controls, not the touchpads but the directional pad works great.

I've been playing it a bit now, and must admit I did find a few bits of lag going on :-( but all the controls work find, and tilting on certain bits is loads of fun!!
I'm not overclocking so maybe if I pop SetCPU up to 1.4 or 1.6 it may stop the lag.

Same here
Being a long-time console/pc gamer, $60 for a game is normal. As a result, I buy these $5 and less apps like candy

Triangle is supersonic, so it seems all ingame buttons were made for the play. and its not just a carryover from dpad+enter button config.

That is interesting... that means Sega was actively working on making this compatible with the Xperia PLAY this whole time.
...that brings me back to why the hell they'd make this any less than fully available day 1. It's not like they couldn't expect us to figure them out.
