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.

fpse is nice when it comes to its engine, but psx4droid has better on screen controls and landscape/portriat options.. combine the 2 and youd have one bad ass ps1 emu app.

FPSE automatically rotates from portrait to landscape and it has on screen control. Plus it'll work without the bin file.

Terrible gaming experience because of the controls.
I'm gonna try to get the PS3 dualshock controller working with it using the sixxaxis pairtool. At least then I would be able to enjoy the game. Just hope I can get the key mapping done right.

It does not have any gamepad support yet except xperia play. the only way you can use a ps3 pad with it is with sixaxis app on market and you will need to map the buttons and sticks with touch profiles. Tip if want to get it playing nice with that make sure MC3 in game controller settings and pick sticks. Been playing this like that on my Xperia S with HDMI works ok.

Yes, played online 4 games last night 3 and today.. plays good no lag and smooth as butter... the version I use is the 1.0.1, the newer version that screwed up the controls and gave it major lag is 1.1.1.
I used to have Modern Combat 3, I hated the controls so much, I was expecting them to feel like how they do on Minecraft Pocket, which feel amazing!
The original market version is the best one
Controls work great and you dont loose progress when online

how can i get the version 1.0.1? im on 1.1.1 and ive paid for it from the google play store, ive tried emailing gameloft but as usual their customer service is absolutely terrible
Would it be better to buy this from Gameloft's store or from Google Play?
I know you guys are all saying that 1.0.1 is the better one to get but Ive had trouble finding (aarrrr) it hehe.
Hm... I was kinda getting pissed that the Gameloft Wapshop version hasn't been updated.
...but if the update's just gonna make everything ****ty, maybe I should be glad I didn't buy from the Google Play Store.
OR, OR, OOOOR!!... Gameloft could stop ****in around and make all their Xperia Play games work like Dead Space. Shadowgun's controls went from **** to sugar... and Gameloft has far more resources to work with opposed to Madfinger.
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.

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.

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.

Hi all there is a new gameboy advance emulator My Boy!
It's not a ripoff but a new developer been testing it and it's quite nice I prefer it over gameboid.
FREE VERSION
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...sMSwxLDEsImNvbS5mYXN0ZW11bGF0b3IuZ2JhZnJlZSJd
PAYED VERSION
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...GwsMSwxLDEwMiwiY29tLmZhc3RlbXVsYXRvci5nYmEiXQ..
Features
My Boy! is a super fast emulator to run GameBoy Advance games on the broadest range of Android devices, from very low-end phones to modern tablets. It does more than just emulating the full system. Thanks to the save state system, you can save progress at any time and return back to it instantly. And while enabling fast-forward in game, you can quickly skip the long boring intros/dialogs in RPGs.
• Fastest emulation. Easily get to 60 FPS without frame skips on medium-end devices.
• Excellent game compatibility. Run 90%~95% of games without a problem.
• Fast and complete video emulation (alpha blending, fading, mosaic, etc)
• High-level BIOS emulation. No BIOS file needed.
• IPS ROM patching
• OpenGL rendering backend, as well as normal rendering on devices without a GPU.
• Fast-forward to skip long stories, as well as slow down games to get past a level you cannot in normal speed.
• Save games at any time with screenshot
• Configurable on-screen keypad (multi-touch requires Android 2.0 or later)
• External controllers support, through either the Android native way or input method.
• Well-designed user interface. Seamlessly integrated with the latest Android.
• Create and switch to different key mapping profiles.
• Create shortcuts to easily launch your favorite games from your desktop.
No games are included with this app and you need to obtain yours in a legal way. Place them onto your SD card, and browse to them from within the app.
Going to try this now. Here's hoping its good. I've been using Gameboid as it remains the best out there for now.
VGBA has good compatibility but the UI sucks and is battery heavy.
GBA.emu you would expect to be good but performs very poorly on the PLAY. You get lag every 10-15s with frameskip on, and slow as hell/unplayable with frameskip off.
Edit: Looks and feels suspiciously similar to Gameboid but with a couple of added options and tweaks. Wouldn't surprise me at all if it was the same dev behind it, just under different name
I'd say its good enough to replace my Gameboid install. Also, changing the rendering back-end to Canvas disables the horrible linear effect used on most emulators.
As good as it is..$4.99 seems steep for an emulator..especially considering all you get are save states and up to16x fast forward...ill stick with gameboid for nownow

I agree. Its certainly not cheap by any means but it is at least cheaper than the other comparable alternatives (GBA.emu - $5.50, VGBA - $6.30). Its also good that they offer up a free alternative, albeit with less features. Its a tough sell up against the quality (and free) Gameboid app but I think if they continue with regular updates and as a result make it more compatible/better performance than Gameboid, then it becomes worth it.
I would buy it, but i dont have credit card.

I use a 3V card for internet purchases. A disposable Visa basically. Only works online but there are other cards (Swirl card) that you can use in shops, ATM's etc
If this gets Wifi/Bluetooth multiplayer capabilities, then I could consider buying it, in the meantime, Gameboid is my election.

Probably won't be compatible with other out-of-game save states, since all devs implement them in their own way. It supports most in-game save formats.

Update v1.1.0 has been released. The dev seems to have took mine and other peoples suggestions regarding linear filtering. Cheats have now also been added.
Changelog:
* Added cheats support (GameShark/ActionReplay/CodeBreaker)
* Added option "linear filtering" for OpenGL (was forced in previous versions)
* Fixed game reset on certain devices when pressing the POWER button, or getting an incoming call.
I'm puzzled by a detail. MyBoy most definitely has code from Nesoid and similars. Same overlay, same controls. Since Nesoid is GPL-licensed, I think that the code should be released. Anyway, I use it because GameBoid doesn't support touch
controls fully, and it just works. Good job, just take care of compliance.

Do you have any proof of this? not berating you, just curious as to if there is any substance to your claim? Overlay could be explained in that the developer was influenced by an app rather than copied/took code from it.
Anyway, the developer claims to be the core developer of the app so unless this is proven otherwise, in which case you should contact him to challenge him on it, then he doesn't have to release any code.
Not only does the overlay look equal, the configuration options for the controller are almost identical, even their order. Either the dev took code from the open-sourced version, or the dev duplicated every single detail.
