Is anyone else having trouble with playing emulators while HDMI outing to their TV while playing emulators? I tried some different test cases: Playing a mix of the different *oid emulators just on my phone, while using a ps3 controller, and while using a ps3 controller with the output being displayed on my TV. The only case in which I got unbearable lag and stuttering was when I use outputing to my TV through a monoprice MLH adapter. Everything ran smoothly otherwise. Furthermore I ran Cool Tool in the background to watch my cpu usage and even though it was lagging the cpu usage wasn't spiking or getting very high. Is anyone else having problem with HDMI out? I don't know why this faster phone can't even handle something my slower year old Atrix could
I believe most emulators aren't coded properly for ICS. I gave up on them for now. If you want a little boost, try out the dual core mod.
I have also noticed that emulators don't work as they did pre-ICS. My galaxy s2 running CM7 ran bit64/n64oid much smoother than my HOXL does on Clean Rom 2.6.
This is very infuriating. Using it as my phone as a retro game station used to be one of the biggest things I did with it and now I can't. Which emulators have people tried that don't seem to work that well on ICS? So far I know the oid ones at least don't seem to work too well.

Yea from my understanding a lot of emulator dev was being completed a while back, and then everything was taken off the market. A few new emulators are poping up again but they don't seem to be optimised for ICS or JB. A real shame as I too enjoyed the ol Mario 64 and GoldenEye.

I don't have any trouble with FPse (psx emulator) lagging, but then again it gets updates every week. Gotta have my twisted metal!

How many pages back did you have to go to find this thread lol. But really since then I've found on most emulators the games are actually playing at full fps just fine, it's the audio that is lagging which makes playing them unbearable. On all of the oid's I was able to get no slow downs in video just fine. It's just the audio that sounds like crap. The DAC on these phones just seems to really suck.
Download the slideme market, and search "yongzh"

The latest update to fpse made everything silky smooth and perfect audio. Runs at 160 fps so I had to use framelimiter in the app settings so everything wasn't running so fast lol

That's what I'm wondering. I have been trying to play FF9 for ages and just can't get it to run smoothly since he started trying to use opengl (started back on my Atrix) and just gave up. I tried again today and still no good.
I don't use opengl on mine. Although it makes a few things look prettier it messes up a lot of the effects in twisted metal, mainly smoke and water. For now I'm content with the default render settings.
Ah yeah well even my Atrix can do full speed software rendering with fpse. It looks so bad though especially the ff games which looked so good.

This may be a more general issue affecting other android phones as well but for a long time now I've had issues playing mp4 format videos. The sound is perfect but the video plays back abominable slow so they are completely out of sync. I wanted to post here to see if anyone else has any ideas on this. I've tried multiple players including rockplayer, moboplayer, stock player, vplayer and many others and I just can't get them to play right. All other formats play without any issues.. flv ..mov ..avi ..xvid..mkv.. all are great.. just not mp4. Please if anyone has any ideas I'd really appreciate a hand with this...thanx!

im not sure if its just because of the hardware on the Thunderbolt but I have the same issues aswell. my workaround is overclocking as well as using good apps like MX Video Player & if you are playing 720P videos check out Dice Player.
Appreciate the response. I'll try out those players as well. What are you overclocking to? I'm usually at about 368 low end and 1.2 high end I think right now using the bamf tools to do it on bamf forever cubed rom.

regardless of the rom, I always set low to 245 and high about 1.2 if its an aosp rom and 1.4 if its sense based. I don't like to go much higher as I've had my battery get very hot and battery life goes down a bit also.

I can't go below 368 on mine or phone will do random shutdowns. I try to use my phone and it was powered off. As soon as I moved it back to 368 never happened again.

Bamf forever cubed settings won't allow me to overclock past 1ghz or very close.. going to look again... Are either of you using setcpu or some other app to overclock?

i use setcpu for all roms(even if they come with bamf settings, cyanogen settings, etc). if it's not letting you go past 1ghz then you'll have to install a kernal that will. i was recently using that bamf soab rom and they had an imogean(sp?) kernal for it in the same thread. you can either check bamf's thread for a specific kernal they recommend or check here on this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1249328
Eh just checked setcpu and it does the same... Neither are allowing me to go past 1024000 and minimum is 245768. Not being allowed to clock it past up to 1.4 which is weird because I know I've done so on past Roms.. maybe it's just this rom? I'm using Bamf Forever Cubed with the stock kernel it came with. Any suggestions on why I'm being locked down to a top end overclock of 1024000?..
Sent from my ADR6400L using xda premium
Sorry just posted my response as you responded.. yeah I have the 3 optional variations of the Imoseyen kernel that works with his rom.. it was a stock, learn and 368 something... Maybe I'll switch and try them out instead...kinda odd being locked down to 1024000 when the phone can handle up to 1.4..

You are wasting your (cpu) time if you are playing anything more than 480p on it. In landscape mode you only have 480 pixels vertically, so playing a higher rez movie means you are making it scale on the fly and probably dealing with a higher bitrate on the source file as well.

personally, I download a lot of shows with my phone and watch them on the phone. Lots of times(especially lately) I will find stuff only available in 720P.
why no tv?... well, when you drive limos you can't always just go back home in between jobs & I don't want to get a big ol' inverter and bring my laptop.
Interesting. I convert a lot of dvds to mp4 format to watch on my phone and have never had any playback issues. Phone running the latest leak, rooted and debloated of coarse. Unfortunately, the AOSP roms don't have nfl network.
I also use system panel to kill all running tasks before playing any videos. All videos are played on Vplayer and I doubt any of them are 720p. Seems like overkill to me.

Bought a while back, get some sound spitting in it and Max Payne (and Skype).
I bought it too.. Was on sale for 99cents along with buncha other apps and games on Google's longest day sale or whatever..
Was really looking forward to playing this (just for nostalgic value) but on my HOS (rooted stock ROM) I dont get any sound at all during gameplay. When the game starts I get the digital pings it makes when you read "Checking ROM Checking RAM" etc. but then it goes completely silent. :crying: Not to mention I installed this game on a two day old phone (had reset it completely 2 days ago)..
Any help will be appreciated!! Thnx
Alright I've tried several sense rom and the sound hasn't worked. Today CM9/AOKP/Miui got a fix for the multi touch issue they have had. I haven't really used GTA since I got it due to these issues. I'm happy to report that GTA3 is working great in AOKP build 40 with the latest boot.img. It's seems much smoother than it was on Sense and the sound is working perfectly

this game runs fine with graphics turned up on max. i do have issues with sound and my ps3 controller set up is weird for the controls on it. hopefully they fix that as well. it use to work good on my other phones just not this one
will all the old psx games work on xperia play. so if i did get a file for a psx game that i have somewhere in my loft would i be able to use it on my play
No, unfortunately not all old psx games will run correctly. There are a large number that will though, and as far as how to run them, it breaks down into 2 camps.
1) PSXperia: Uses a trick to repackage psx files into apks that the built in emulator can use. Just do a forum search for find out more about it.
2) FPSE: An app in the App store that uses a more traditional approach to emulation imo. There is setup involved, and you will need a psx bios, but you can run iso's straight off the memory card, and it has a pretty large compatibility base.
The only game I can't get to work on fpse is x files. All the rpg's I tried work. Unfortunately there is no analog support for fpse unless your using ics Rom.

Ahh mate, you are lucky then. I have yet to get SaGa Frontier to work, or anyone else I have talked to. You can go the openGL plugin, but then the lag eats you up.
I wish I knew enough about driver optimization, because I am sure that with a little work the plugin could be kicking on our device. Yes we are weak in horsepower, but I think we are far from wringing out all the performance from the XPlay.

yeah. i played it on my XE too. its not perfect, but its good. just sometimes the accelerometer stops working or something else. the car's steer freezes and it goes at a direction for some seconds and then it comes back to normal. i don't know that it is my phone's problem or the game's.

I have played through the entire game on my Sensation. At first I was hesitant to purchase it because I didn't know if it would run at all. To my surprise it ran reasonably well even on the stock Sense image I was using at the time. However, after playing through it a little there was obvious lag, stutters and just hiccups that would come at inopportune times and cause you to lose the race. I then switched launchers to Nova while still retaining the stock Sense ROM. Things got better, much better actually, but still not good enough. Then I rooted and went to cm9.1 stable + Nova and things were almost perfect! I played through the rest of the game, actually pretty much the whole game, with cm9.1 + stable and there were only a few occasions where framerates degraded or hiccups/stutters messed up the gameplay. I thought what I was seeing was pretty much the best the sensation could do. That was until I recently upgraded to Albinoman's CM10.1 Kang. With that ROM NFS-MW is now running practically perfect. I think the key difference here is the amount of free RAM. With CM10.1 I have significantly more free RAM and can hold open 2 or 3 times more apps than with CM9.1. The Sensation is severely lacking in the RAM department and NFS-MW is a very memory-demanding game. The lighter the OS load, the more RAM is available to the game, the less swapping occurs and the ultimately the more fluid the game plays. Hope that helps.
perfectly running under cm10 by albinoman
if you are running sense, use faux kernel 10b9 or 10b8 overclock it to 1.7 then use intellidemand as governor.

Just got the Pro for myself. I'm on stock 4.3 and it works great. Been playing modern combat 4 and it's great. Feels like I'm playing cod just a slight lag. Also works great for emulators as it has a A and B setting for the controller. Havent had any issues controller battery last quite long.
