N64 Emulator just released!

Just read on Engadget that a Nintendo64 emulator has finally been released for Android!
Its called N64oid and is $5.99 on the market, but worth every penny. Still a little laggy with some games, but pretty good. Played Mario Kart64 with no issues, but will probably struggle with more CPU intensive games such as Goldeneye.
Market link: http://market.android.com/details?id=com.androidemu.n64

I just...downloaded it...thank you for sharing.
Edit: I bestow your first thanks upon thy username.

I'm really curious to see how people can get these games to run on our evos, keep us posted!

now if only we had a fix for the bluetooth to allow the use of a wireless controller, this would be perfect

I really believe in the developer especially having bought Snesoid from him and played it religiously like everyday! Games were really laggy at first but the first update made super mario 64 work SMOOTH

Its time like this that I wish I had the Motorola Zoom. This would be so awesome to play on that.

Get wiimote from the market, it allows you to use your wii remote as the controller i dont think it works with sense though

Mario 64 here i come..yes!!
Just tested it out...with mario kart 64 and super mario 64.
list of problems i have:
sound is very laggy(i figured this one)
Mario kart froze on me 3 times in a row before it fully worked(but then it ran pretty good)
Super Mario 64 sound was ok and ran right out the gate.
Great work for the first release!

You download the app via google/market, install, the you just search [insert N64 game] rom, then put the zip file on your sdcard, open the app, find it, and start playing.

Have you gotten it to work? I downloaded it, and shows it as connected in the app, but when I enable other inputs [ie bluetooth gamepad ] in the N64 emulatore, it doesn't work.

Are you using a sense rom, because I don't believe it will work with sense?

No, I'm on AOSP [CM7] When I'm in the wiimote app, I can see it confirming when I press B, 1,2, home ect, as the keys on the screen light up and its connected successfully. Just when I try to use it in the game, it doesn't work.

So I take it this emulator runs relatively well on our evo?

Yeah it works pretty well. Still a little laggy here and there, and won't play some games at all. But other than that, its pretty sweet.

Conker
Does conkers bad fur day work? That seemed to be pretty CPU intensive.

Awesome news. SOmeone post a vid!

No reason it shoudn't, if its laggy, overclock a little bit.

Haha I meant like how well, I know how to run them I just meant I've been running psx emulators for a while with only moderate success and since n64 is running at 64 bit I was wondering how well it ran. Thank you though, that was very considerate!

Gave it a try, but when you actually get to loading a level, it crashes to the desktop sadly. Atleast for me on my transformer it does.

Nope, it was a 0.85 version. This one is 0.9 and it works on TF without any problems with sound! Fantastic!

Are you guys able to play custom games? I only get the option to play the campaign mode and I'd really like to play multiplayer type custom games by myself against the AI like I used to... I've seen screen shots of menus where it has the option, not sure why I don't?

sweets to be a work in progress, when i first got the app it did crash a lot but as he patches it is gets better. Looking forward to it being fully stable and other improvements.

Wow, that looks excellent. Does it support multiplayer?

Yes, I installed it on my PC last night and the Multiplayer/Singleplayer custom maps works and will allow you to play with other people running the same Stratgus/Wargus engine... but on my Transformer I only get the option to play Campaign
Can anyone verify it's the same for them?

Nova 3 no effects

Has anyone else noticed a lack of smoke and lighting effects in nova 3? I can turn them on by using chainfire, but gameplay suffers from artifacting, fps drop and other glitches. I'm on the latest skyics if that matters.
I wouldn't mind so much except there is a significant difference in draw distance in multi player which is important if you have a sniper rifle.

With full effects? Can you see the steam off the gun when you fire and the motion blur when you sprint?

I've tried cleaning off the entire phone, sd cards and all and reflashing skyics, I still wasn't able to get full graphics without installing chainfire drivers, and I still get shader errors, specifically this one:
"indexing into an attribute using a non-constant expression is not permitted"
any ideas?

Mine runs perfect.

I've heard this from several people now, and it seems hard to believe that I'm the only one with this problem. Are you sure it's running with full effects? One of the things I noticed is that the full effects version always has a darker earth in the menu. Has this been your case?
I just want to make sure, because I've tried fresh installs of skyics, stock ucld2, and embryo with and without chainfire and am still having the same problem (no full effects in nova w/o chainfire, but shader errors with it installed)

Ya my nova 3 runs at like 10 fps never buying from Gameloft again all there games run perfectly on iOS and then they make them ****ty for android

see thats weird. I've never had fps that bad, without all the higher grade effects the game plays fine, high fps. There is a bit of a drop in fps with chainfire, but its mostly the shader errors that are the problem. I just don't understand why performance is so inconsistent for users of the same device. You would think all skyrocket users would have the same problem.

ChainFire3D does simillar things as well.
Doesn't also AdrenoBooster already compress textures making textures even more compressed also?
But yeah, it's useful.

someone need to test it before other follow.

Hmmm yes well ChainFire3D is a bit old and not updated, however this is essentially an updated version, but chainfire works with texture transfer and stuff, AdrenoBooster im not sure, but for me AB made games lower the fps but removed lags...

Did someone tried the app? I've already tried it, it works good but my phone's sound gone. The in-game sound is there but my ringtone is gone. Is it just my phone or you guys also experience the same??

i intall ...my camare,music app force close,my rintones are eraser

I don't think ringtones are erased, you just can't select ringtones. But after you uninstall the app (using CWM), you phone is back to normal.

GLtools - Play Games At MUCH better framerates

Gltools (which is similar to chainfire 3d but works on jellybean)
made by @n0n3m4
NOTE: DOESNT WORK ON X86 CPUS. TESTED ON TAB 3 7"
it helps in lowering graphics and emulating other gpus so that a game which is tegra exclusive works on all phones
is a must have app on our phone for gaming
i tried lowering graphics using gtools3 on a few games and it is much better now
touch is completely responsive ingame (ie no lags when changing the view) and so on
first download free version(limited features) from google play
or the xda version(all features unlocked) provided by the dev frm this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2615514
(Im using gta 3 as an eg to show how this works)
install gltools
(Note: Enable backup option in the app in case something goes wrong. a cwm flashable zip which can uninstall gltools will be formed)
open app. then give root access and install tex plugin(and not 'none' otherwise this app wont work)
reboot the phone
open app. a list of apps installed will come up
select ur app(gta 3 for me)
check on enable custom setting
tick force 16 bit rendering
tick optimize glsl shaders(some times
set enable texture decomp. to all (for better grfx or none for lower grfx - very little effect seen)
set enable texture recomp. to none
set downscale textures to 0.5 if it lags and check if it still lags make 0.25x(anything below that will make text unreadable)(this will reduce grfx significantly)
i also faked gpu info though it may not be needed (i did adreno 320 , sometimes tegra 2 is best)
please share ur own config for any game u manage to make smooth

new gltools
New GLtools has been released (version 1.29)
heres the main thread(along with instructions):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/apps-games/app-gltools-1-29-t2828630

Unreal engine based games
I hope this is the right thread to ask this question.
Have you guys succeeded in running any Unreal engine based games using GLTools on the SM-T211? The only game which work that I've personally tested myself is Wild Blood. All other Unreal engine based games just FC. Wild Blood also FC without GLTools, but with Mali-400MP emulation it works quite well. This tab really sucks when it comes to Unreal based games. Whenever I see the logo, I'm pretty sure 99.99% that game won't work . If you guys have any tip on how to get Unreal engine based games to run on this tab, please share. Thanks.

Thanks. I haven't got the time to test the latest GLTools, but with the one I'm using right now, I've tried all the available templates and none of them work for Unreal engine based games . I'll try the latest one later.
Btw, how can I find out the version of GLTools I have installed? I don't see an "About" page anywhere
