Psx4droid

So psx4droid is finally out, how is it working for you? I have rooted htc evo using newest fresh rom and custom god mode kernal with 60fps hack and espon 003 screen. I have tried three games and they start up then fail miserably...can the evo cut it for psx? Anyone having better luck? What settings ,rom, kernal, phone, and screen?

Because this thread wasn't 5 threads from the top.

Must have missed it, been googling it all morning for evo users and found nothing.

Very frustrating that the market doesn't allow me to buy it b/c it's stuck on authorizing. I purchased it through SlideMe and now I can't find the app and don't know where it went. So annoying I hope it doesn't charge me for it again .

Download it on a good 3G area not through wi-fi that's what did it for me.
Now my problem is the Roms aren't working!

Not to mean to hijack your thread, but what is this 60 fps kernal you wrote about? I can't seem to find it.

I love this emulator. It runs PSX games fast on my phone for sure. I have Worms Armageddon working perfectly. Tried running Theme Hospital and Madden 03 and 05 but neither worked. They get stuck at the EA Sports screen. Anyone know of any options to get it working or is it probably just a compatibility issue with that rom? I would assume compatibility but never know.

It runs SOME games fast. FF7 for sure. Chrono Cross is... like... kinda okay. Most games I've tried are unplayable either due to speed, sound, or aren't compatible with the emulator.
****. The one game I expected to run well is Castlevania: Symphony of the Night. It's a side-scroller and it runs slower than FF7

Yeah, what kernel are you referring to? Are you talking about netarchy-toastmod 3.7.5? That is the latest to my knowledge, and 60fps is a bit of a reach.
Or am I missing a bona-fide 60fps kernel for epson screens?
Anyone?

CyanogenMod has no FPS limit.

I have been playing FFVII on it (it runs well). Does anyone know how psx4droid will handle the disc switch?
I ripped the 3 discs seperately (into bin and cue).
Thanks.

I get your point, but cyanogenmod must have a limit.

yeah toasts but i have been switching back and forth through both cr1 as well trying all the games but some of the eboots have built in fps checker and have at some points been hitting 60 fps up to 64 on both if im lucky and close all apps first and this thread was lost because http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=735234 was up like 3 minutes before my thread i think so i have just been using that one for psx info and on disk switching just do the save in the game on the disk like not slot save but psx memory card save and then load other disk in emulator and use the save

Snesoid or Nesoid slowdowns

I am using the latest TNT lite and it stutters pretty often. I am using the latest versions of both. Any ideas or version numbers I may need to use?

What games? Not seen stutter on any TNT version. PSX4Droid also plays smooth and with 3D games.
I would like to check them the games that stutter for you- assuming I have the games, of course.
All NeoGeo and the more complex CPS2 roms also play smooth.
Thanks

I had studdering with punch out on Nesoid but I determined that it was due to the actual game itself and it studdered the same on my phone and the G Tab.

I get a lot of constant shakiness with SNESoid playing super mario world. I was just testing however since I JUST got TnT installed on my tab. I was using the on screen controls as a result. I remember hearing that disabling the on screen controls will reduce the processor load. I hope to try that later today and hopefully have good news to report. I have also not yet tested NESoid or GBAoid

Interesting I will try that. I am using a wiimote. I turned off frameskip and that has helped quite a bit.

I messed around more with SNESoid. Having sound enabled is what caused my issues. When I disable things worth smoothly with or without the onscreen controls. Maybe I am the one with egg on my face here and everyone knows that sounds makes playback choppy with any game on any system but it is certainly a deal breaker for me.
I was hoping to use HDMI + wiimote to bring all my older games with me on-the-go.
I will say this. I did noticed that my device is acting a bit strangely(TnT 2.2.0 fresh <2 days old). I found that some video will strangely playback smoothly now that would not a few days ago. I also get some gapps force closes randomly. Angry birds has worked perfectly. Maybe the issue is entirely with me and not my gtab.

Plants vs Zombies HD

Okay I am so addicted to this game, but after the Amazon official app kept freezing on me, i ran into a Tablet Optimized apk of plants vs zombies off google "just google plants vs zombies HD apk" well its noted that a tegra 2 is required to run the game. well afyer sideloading it I was stunned to see the vast improvement in graphics, I was so excited, so then after starting a new adventure, i came to notice all the sprites "Zombies and plants" show up as solid black boxes...... so i want to see if anyone has had sucess running this HD version of the game on their gtabs. ive also noticed this same phenomenon on Vendetta online.. or if anyone knows what is causing the black boxes to show instead of the graphics.... a friend of mine told me to try and install chainfire 3d to lower the detail of the graphics, which does in fact fix the black box issue, but leaves the whole background completely trashed. im stuck. I WANT TO GET THIS GAME TO WORK ON MY GTAB lol

On what ROM?
Sent from my Droid using XDA App

im running it on Cyanogen Mod 7.0.3, i tried it on honeycomb, but would not make it past the lading screen..

I know this is not what you wanna hear, but it only works perfectly on Vegan 5.1.1 stock kernel. I installed that and haven't looked back since. I miss the bells and whistles of Vegan GE but 5.1.1 ain't so bad. In a few days I will probably install Calkulin with the 5.1.1 kernel. There is no chance that it will work on Cya at the moment. You have to learn to accept it.

when i use chainfire 3d, and reduce texture quality, im able to load up the sprites, but makes the backroung all funky, but this makes the game playable... but not enjoyable....

imdaman ur thinking about the official plants vs zombies app from amazon, this is the HD tegra 2 version ripped from a lenovo Lepad i believe.... i tried this on vegan tab rom, and still get the same issue.... in thinking this has to do with our tabs ram being only 512mb instead of 1gb

I had the same problem with this HD version of Plants vs Zombies. The Amazon version was freezing for me as well so I sideloaded this HD version on my Gtab running Vegan 5.1.1. The kicker is this HD version looks great and doesn't freeze, but I can't see the plants and zombies... just black blocks. If you get this HD version working please let us know how you did it.
Also, you may want to post this question in the Apps & Themes section because you may get more responses over there.

load chainfire 3d and install the driver. go into chainfire and check the option to lower texture quality. load plants vs zombies hd and start the game when you see the preview of the zombies starting press the home button. then go into the game again this should cause the background texture to display properly or it will be a black background but when the level actually start the background should pop into place.
this fix seems to work until you go back to the menu then it garbles back up quit out of the game completely and restart to redo the trick

Running fine on Beasty rom http://www.androidtablets.net/forum...-gtablet-beasty-2-2-1-rom-clemsyn-kernel.html.
Dave,

he is talking about the HD version not the amazon verson Dave.

Awesome!!!!! this does the trick, its a little of an annoyance but hey, its working!!! it will hold me off til amazon releases a tablet version

I just had an idea. If the problem is that the GTab doesn't have enough memory, maybe it will help to run a swap file. You know, something like Swapper2 in the Androiod Market. Has anyone ever tried to run Swapper2 on the GTab?

i had the same exact though, but never had success with swapper2, keeps fc

i think it has something to do with the graphic driver because GB dont have a proper on it messes up

Just a note that XDA does not and will not condone the discussion or links to warez apps. This includes games that are hacked to circumvent in-app purchases.
Thank You

I was unable to play PvZ with most ROMs, but lately I was able to run it with both PacMan and Eclipse ROMs (based on the DRH drivers). PvZ seems to be very CPU hungry, I had to lower my overclocking (from 1.5G down to 1.4G, if I remember corerctly) to avoid crashes

Touchpad compatibility on CM7 vs. Stock

Bin4ry has posted a message today about touchpad compatibility: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=20293185&postcount=1886
I think it'd be an interesting project to find out which games have working touchpads on stock and don't work with them on CM7. If we can narrow down the issue a little bit, development will be more fluid.
I'll try to keep a list updated, and I think a code is in order.
GREEN GAMES have working touchpads on both Stock and CM7.
RED GAMES only have working touchpads on Stock ROMs, and not on CM7.
I'll start the list:
Minecraft-Pocket Edition
Samurai 2: Vengeance
ShadowGun
Dungeon Defenders: Second Wave
Mupen64Plus-Android Edition
Age of Zombies
FIFA 12
9MM
Rainbow Six
Backstab HD
Asphalt 6 HD
Dead Space
Reckless Getaway - Vehicles always pull to the left

ShadowGun
DDSW
Mupen64 Plus
9mm
Rainbow Six

Backstab HD*
Asphalt 6 HD
Will have more later once I try out a few more.
*Backstab HD doesn't even start, a message pops up saying the device isn't compatible.
Verizon R800x for future reference.

You can add evey EA game to the red list. Infact hot pursuit gave me an error about the touchpads, maybe that will help (i'm not on CM7 Anymore though)

Gameloft games don't work either if I remember correctly.

I'd rather use a case-by-case basis. Basically because if we have more games, it will be easier to find the common point among them. So far we've seen indie studios like Madfinger and Mojang pay attention to the touchpad thing, while corporate monsters like Gameloft and EA blatantly fail.

Star legends works on stock, but not cm7

Age of Zombies
Shadowgun
Guerilla Bob XP
Dead Space
Reckless Getaway - Vehicles always pull to the left.

I'm pretty sure that this list will end up being:
(Red) - EA/Gameloft
(Grn) - Everything else

I haven't had this issue, played for about half an hour earlier today, while the touchpads didn't work, the car steered straight (Using the D-Pad for steering). Using a R800x if it helps.

I'm still looking into. Don't think i'm away, just quite

AH yes, this one can be removed, rebooted after reinstall and it works fine now. This one never had touchpad support on the stock rom.

can anyone test GTA III? That'll be a deal breaker IMO

I would love to test GTA, but you can't download it on the r800x with CM7 for whatever reason.

Galaxy on Fire 2
Star / Pocket Legends

Same here, r800i on cm7, 'device is not compatible'.

I have been discussing with Bin4ry and he has discovered that the stock keyboard can be used by apps to check touchpad status, basically what the user is doing with the touchpads (swiping in certain directions etc.).
So I flashed CM7 and pushed textinput-tng.apk to /system/app and I chmod' it to 644.
Problem is, nothing happened, I think this is because when I looked in the AndroidManifest.xml of the textinput-tng.apk I realised it requires semc framework.
We have a few options:
Try a workaround
Port some of the semc framework
Try rebuilding the keyboard without semc framework required, involves decompiling.
It is possible, but not something I could do. It would be best to let Bin4ry and FXP do the work as they did something for the keyboard on the mini pro if I remember correctly.

Try using the one from the R800x since it doesn't have the semc framework.

hopefully you guys can get this fixed asap <3 CM and touchpad support would mean that this is the perfect rom!

GTA 3 doesn't work on CM7, works fine on Stock

PSX4DROID

Hi all.. has anyone managed to get this working on the note at all? No matter what format i use whenever i go to load a game, it shows psx4droid is running in the status bar for a second, then black screen then goes back to the load a ROM screen..
Any ideas?

I tried 3 different playstation emulators and none worked. They work on my evo3d tho and it sucks. Wanted some old school resident evil

FPSe runs but not very well.. im surprised as PSX4DROID ran perfectly fine on my SGS1 so dont see how there should be a problem running on the Note..

I thought the same untill I disabled "Dualcore Boost" and "Screen Filtering" in the settings.
Yeah, I know about the Dualcore Boost, it's kinda ironic.
All my 3D games are running at fullspeed like Raystorm at 60 fps!

I use FPSE and Chrono Cross works well, except for some sound issues during FMVs.

FPSe running great for me...
