ANDROID MARKET LINK
A new FPS was released on the Android Market recently, The Dead: Chapter One. The game is yet another attempt to replicate the COD: Zombies formula(hurray!). Although not explicitly mentioned in the Market description, this game is fully Xperia Play optimized! The analog sticks and buttons all work perfectly, and the touch controls disappear when you slide the gamepad out! I have played with the touch controls and they remind me of the controls for FPS games on Android before Gameloft. The Xperia Play saves the day once again.

Awesome! I was wanting a third person break from all the two stick zombie shooters.
I'm hoping this is more like L4D than COD:Zombies though :S
Jesus... I'm officially 20 games behind on updating my Xperia PLAY game list now
EDIT: Looks like they didn't add R800a to the device check -_- doesn't show up in the Game Launcher or work with the gamepad controls for me.

Controls are great... game is a bit boring after a while though.....

This game is awesome the controls works really good for it too

Controls does not work.
800i UK Device 2.3.3fw.

Controls dont work here either.
R800a 2.3.4
I go into settings and select Xperia play but when I start a new game the controls revert back to touch screen.

Same thing on rooted r800i 2.3.4 stock

Controls work good. Thanks again for another good heads up on the games.

i have the same problem with the controls, i didn't like the feel of the game anyway so. I'm sticking to Shadowgun for now

So for the few of you it DOES work for, did it also show up in your Xperia PLAY Game Launcher?

No it doesn't. Also I'd hardly qualify this game as awesome, you aren't missing much. You run around a 4 room house and kill waves of 20 zombies at a time (and they all look almost identical), eventually you get a key and a rifle, which shoots too slow to be useful so you go back to the pistol you already had. IMHO its about as deep as the shallow end of the kiddie pool.
If this game is awesome, MC2 is Beethoven's 9th Symphony. The only thing it has going for it is the targeting controls don't suck.

Controls is not working for me.. Saw some Xperia play options on control's settings, but no option to apply it.. So I just pressed back button..

Damn shame they're taking so long to fix this.
EnbornX had this same issue where the device check excluded certain models, and Lantansia had that **** patched ONE DAY later. I hope these guys do pick up the pace, because the touch controls are really horrible.

tried it on two plays. but no dice

The game's been updated! About to check out the new version shortly, I'll EDIT with impressions shortly.
EDIT: Working nicely! Shows in in the game launcher too. The movement does not give the option of Continuous (Analog) or Absolute (Swiping) it's all continuous, all the time. I like that you actually have control over the X/Y individually, and don't really have any major complaints about the controls... but the game itself is just kinda... *yawn*. Maybe it's just the first few waves, but I was slowly going to sleep.
Needs more emphasis on getting different weapons, hordes that really make you go "OH ****!" and whip out some awesome reaction skills... and... iuno... it's just missing that *magic* that Left 4 Dead had... it's got plenty of what made me get sick of CoD: Zombies in one day, but I don't want that.
Maybe I'm just setting myself up for disappointment by expecting what this isn't instead of appreciating it for what it is... L4D has me highly biased, and something that doesn't live up to that action usually just puts me to sleep.

I'll admit, I was kind of praying for a 2D fighting game... but this was even more of a pleasant surprise! Just a couple days ago I was thinking about how badass it'd be if someone would bring Streets of Rage-style beat 'em ups back to life... but with RPG elements so that it doesn't get boring after one hour.
...and lookie what I ran into! The graphics are quite distorted through stretching, but the game runs nicely, and it works well with Xperia PLAY's physical controls (which is nice, because - as we could expect - the virtual gamepad is simply awful ).

I sometime go through the market to look for stuff. How do you find these apps? I usually searchj for "Xperia PLAY or XPERIA PLAY OPTIMITZED. Mind if I ask what you type in for your searches? Also have you played the new Zenonia 4? Its really awesome, I have a thread for it as well on this forum. Thank you for sharing the info on the game.

I didn't comment on the Zenonia 4 topic, but you guys should already know by now that an Xperia PLAYable RPG won't be released without me promptly getting my hands on it
As for how I find this stuff... most of the time I'm just hunting for general Android games that look like they'd be badass on Xperia PLAY, without specifically searching for Xperia PLAY games.
What helps me out is that a lot of games have generic compatibility with d-pads and the enter key (which I probably don't need to explain is X on Xperia PLAY) so while a game may not specifically be Xperia PLAY optimized, a lot of the times generic key compatibility means it'll work well enough to play.
So it's basically just trial and error.

About that... I found out Caligo Chaser is compatible with qwerty keyboards. One could just use game keyboard to set up physical controls, it's quite easy... But the onscreen controls just can't be disabled The onscreen controls can't be disabled on King Pirate as well - Caligo Chaser also seems cool. I mentioned those games because of this one, they seem quite alike. Which leads to the question... Can onscreen controls be disabled on this one? Your screenshots make it seem so.

Whooaa. So lemme get this straight, there IS a way to get Caligo Chaser working with Xperia PLAY's controls? It's kinda my favorite game from iOS and I've been hounding the dev team for about a year trying to get them to add in Xperia PLAY compatibility to no avail. I'm just sayin' I'd geek pretty hard over that.

Sadly no... matter of fact, the options don't allow you to do much at all :\
We could always try asking the devs. Got us Further Beyond Fighting and Castle of Shadows.

Yep, it could be done. I haven't tried it, but c'mon... A giant popup tutorial shows up telling you qwerty compatibility. Just write down the buttons and then map them using gamekeyboard the only flaw, as I've just said, is the non-removability of the onscreen controls :/ but yea, we have to ask the devs. At least about that

Description
PPSSPP, a PSP emulator prototype for Android.
PPSSPP is a prototype PSP* emulator for Android (and other platforms).
It's still in very early stages and does not run many games. It's provided here if you want to try it, so that you can automatically receive updates over time - over time this will probably become a usable emulator.
Please go to http://www.ppsspp.org for more information.
IMPORTANT: Please do not give bad reviews due to low compatibility. It takes time.
NOTE: No games are included with this download, you will have to dump your own PSP games and turn them into .ISO or .CSO files, or simply play free homebrew games, which are available online.

Wow, pretty nuts. Someone should report back once they find a game that works in nearly or full speed.

Just played Puzzle Bobble pocket on this (tried this because plays ok on video) and i can confirm its no fake, its the real deal people F**k yeah swwwweeeeeeeeettttt :victory:
Ps. Emulator plays psp Iso. No eboots at mo just so you know where to look

WWWWHHHHAAATTTTTT!!!!!! awesome.....
Do the rrst of you get crappy distorted boxes when loading a game? Then again...I tried N+...it was a no go.
Sent from my R800x using xda app-developers app

I tested the following games.
Bublle Bobble Evolution
Call of Duty Roads to Victory
Dragon Ball Z Tenkaichi Tag Team
Worms Open Warfare 2
Puzzle Bobble (This was the only thing that worked)
For what is seen is quite low compatibility list yet.
It is seen that only light running games with few graphics.
Let's wait and see how this project progresses.
But very good start.
Developers luck and thanks for your great work.

Looking forward to this. I just want Need for Speed Underground Rivals. The best NFS game for me so far!! Played it for nearly the whole time my missus was in labour with my boy, 20+ hours!!!

very good news
i love psp and NDS

yekasangredevago, did Puzzle Bobble work full speed? Did you have sound enabled? thanks!

Sound works (a little broken) and runs near full speed but a little lag. Some of the colored balls also do not show (some textures missing) apart from that great first version and cant wait to see more.

Would love to see this playing Crisis Core at some point

wow remember when all the noobs would ask a million times if the phone would play psp games...well now....better start making my collection again....i recon peeps better buy the 64gb card

Guys, if this runs with little lag on some guys and tons of lag on other games, imagine what it's like on the S3.
And good job to the dev. Time to test out some games.

Three SCMUPS - Galaxy Gladiator, VenomBlast, Barrage Ballad!

Just found these, the first one Galaxy Gladiator we can download, all three games are free. So if anyone wants me to get the other two let me know. Please be advised these are not xperia play optimized. I know this will disappoint many but I know there are others here who are big fans of schmups and as much I would love to see them optimized a schmup is still a schmup to me.

Barrage Ballad while not too hard, is nice, nice graphics, and some really good Japanese - centric tunes.
I see COLOPL, Inc's strategy is pay to play, with the store and real money playing a part in coins and powerups.
I just feel Android in general is lacking titles like Bug Princess 2, like frickin' iOS gets.
It needs more CAVE loving.

This is something what made me really angry some time ago because on ios they have a lot of cool shmups and on android there were maybe 3 or 4 of them. But meanwhile we get more and more great shmups.
Only Problem is, they are only in Portraitmode, i mean if those games were in Landscape i had no problem with XPO or not because of gamekeyboard.
Thanks for sharing, great looking games.

@cyraxx, I know what you mean. It feels like the only good landscape shooter outside of emulated psx games is Air Attack. There is that new Galaga reboot I posted, but the gameplay is so cramped in landscape I think thats why it wasn't released.

On the subject of shooters, I've just bought Advent Rush: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=game.advent&hl=en
Very nice graphics and sound, gameplay too(from what I can see so far)
and my mate has Battle Squadron ONE, an old amiga game, which has full Xperia Play support: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.copecom.bsone&hl=en
That has a tabletop mode, quite nice, it holds up well in this day and age.
And Magical Cannon Wars, not sure if it's donate version or free, bit it seems solid enough.
And Danmaku Death is a good free game too.
I used to get Market Enabler to work on my Xperia Play, but not lately, might have to try another version or two of it.
EDIT: Now had a chance to play BB Bear, it's ok, not as good as how cute it looks..it does remind me of Bug Princess, with all the insects, which in turn annoys me that CAVE haven't released BG2 or anthing similar to what iOS gets.baahhhhh

I installed that earlier, and oh dear, it does seem rather cramped..:laugh:

I'd recommend Shogun, Battle Squadron One, Danmaku Death, R-Type, and Raiden Legacy. The Cave games seem to work well but I want to play the real thing before trying it on a mobile. Other than that, use an emulator and play in portrait mode holding the play sideways to emulate TATE like Raiden Legacy does. It feels awkward at first but once you get the hang of it you'll fall in love with the Play all over again. Also wanted to add that Radiant Flux wasn't half bad (PSM title).

More SCHMUPS!!!

Hey, guys... I know why it was deletet from Market, cuz it's unlicensed!.. Yeah yeah, like everybody forgot about Lode Runner and we can just take and sell? Nope.
The authors should make it free with a donation button , or a freakin' advertisement.. Maybe it would live longer there. Now.. Let's search for apk
