[Q] PSX4DROID V2 on Epic 4g :(

So I am having a horrible time with this one on this device I guess. I have DL'ed multiple Bios for the app and currently am sticking with 7502 and 1001 which seem to work for the most part. All my games are slower then the actual trial version or PSX4DROID Lite. I have tested FF7, FF8, FF9, Legend of Dragoon, Einhander, Chrono Cross, and my fav Xenogears and every one runs smoother and way faster with no slowdown on the Lite version but when using the paid version is slow slow slow. I have upped the cpu cycle, and messed with the fps and moved these both around from low to high and no difference in the games. The sound in the Lite version on all these games is bad but the gameplay is so much smoother and overall better, the sound in the paid version is spot on but the games lag. I am using the Samsung Galaxy S Epic 4G which should play these np since I hear from so many others it works great but not sure if its due to my phone? or is it something I'm doing wrong. I have searched the wide world of GOOGLE and found nothing to help. I have searched these forums as well and just haven't found any help with this. I really really really wana jam on some Xenogears or finally beat FF9 as I made it all the way to the end and never got to beat it back in the day.
This is my first Post and I would appreciate any and all advice you pros out there have for a noob such as me

Any assistance at all would be great

Nobody uses PSX4DROID V2 on an Epic 4g? Or does not have the same issues with slowdown like I do? I am not rooted and starting to wonder if thats the issue? Please Help

no one here really cares about that emuklator... v2 of psx4droid is slower than the old build. i bought both so i compare them each time theres an update for v2 and so far the old build is better in most ways especially when it comes to fps. the old build is just a lot more smoother especially for games such as ff9 and castlevania son.

I've tried running gta 2 on psx4droid but the cars and the character itself were missing and so it gave more fps (around 20) but now with v2 i can see everything (graphics are improved) but now the FPS fell down to approximately 15-12 but it is playable so i don't mind the update
Using a task killer won't harm so that you can close down extra things to free up memory then try running the game, hopefully it won't lag.

I'm on an evo 4g and I can say that the latest psx v2 make everything crawl. What worked for me was the first version of psx4droid v2 that was released, try searching the web and everything should run smooth, it does for me on the snapdragon so should fly with the hummingbird.
I also noticed that if u use app2sd it will affect the emulator since u are trying to run the game off your sd card like on my evo. So give it a try and all should be good.
Also I would stick with 1001 bios since that is what the focus of the port is.

same issue with me mate, running stock and FF tactics will fluctuate in speeds, mostly on the slower side

I have the same problem on my x, I've given up with it.

I too get FPS problems with this crappy emulator on my DHD. I get about 35FPS in GT2 but it's still too laggy, this is on v2. v1.1 of PSX4DROID runs much much better.
Won't have to wait much longer to play PS1 games on Android

[Q] Anyone else's sensation constantly freezing n force closing while playing games?

Hey guys! I just got my sensation yesterday at a T-mobile and it's been rebooting and games have been force closing on me quite often. It might be that the games I'm playing are not meant for this phone but the weird thing is that these games worked fine on my nexus one.
n64oid - was fine on N1 although laggy.
dungeon defenders
samurai II: vengence
last stand
Psxdroid-doesn't work at all it seems.
I'm aware these games may not be enhanced for the sensation but I'm just wondering if it was just me or has any of you had problems with the phone freezing and force closing while running more "resource demanding" apps? I want to know so I'd know whether or not I should swap it out. Thanks for any help.

yep, certain games keep freezing for me to. guerilla bob is one that freezes without fail after 2-3 minutes. don't really get force closes, it just freezes and then i have to press the home button to get out. i wonder if it's related to the battery temperature, or maybe the memory is running low?
edit: also, ive had the same issue on two different devices.

The only two games I ever play run smooth as butter and look insane on the Sensation. They are Home Run Battle 3D and Angry Birds RIO. They actually run smoother than on my G2X.

hmmm.. this isn't good :/ it feels to me as if my sensation is unnecessarily freezing on games it should be able to handle..
mine also freezes on Modern Combat 2 HD and Nanopanda..
wonder if this is a hardware or software issue..

I've noticed it with Dungeon Defenders. DD uses around 125MB of RAM. I've noticed that while I use the Sensation I have less than 150MB of RAM. I'm thinking that the RAM gets depleted by games that use over 100MB of RAM and causes the phone/game to crash. I can't even play DD for long until the phone crashes.
If I kill all the apps the game runs smoothly, but if I play it with not a lot of free RAM it becomes choppy and noticeably laggy.

Once we get root and get the bloatware/Sense off of it, most of these games are going to fly.

Hell Lag on shadowgun

I faced immense lag while playing shadowgun specially when fight against bosses.
Does anyone also notice this.
I have shadowgun V 1.0.4
I am on kpq, doomlord kernel v3 with fuss ram script.
I have searched alot and found that this game don't want much cpu, gpu power but more ram instead.
I have tried restart my phone many times, release ram before start of game and also install normal ram tweak file. But result are same. HELL LAG.
IF YOU ALSO HAVING THIS ISSUE THAT MEANS OUR GPU IS NOT CAPABLE TO HANDLE GAMES LIKE THIS.
Yes I have tried playing this game on my htc desire Hd where it run smoothly as butter and I also reached to level 4.

Your issue related to code optimization not hardware power.
On my tegra 2 game flow like water with extra graphic mod. Till now none of the game lag for the a sec whether it's 9mm or asphalt or gta3. But with lag play I somehow reached to finall boss battles when I had sgsl.

S4 optimized games for ONE X

Since, i find all over the internet all HTC One X games optimized for Tegra 3, there is no such thing as for our S4 Chipset.
If you guys find any list it here, maybe we can continue this thread as a list of S4 optimized games for ONE X.
List of HD games that are working, not s4 exclusive though, shows off some graphical power of your HOX
Shine Runner
Riptide
Fruit Ninja PiB
Inertia: Escape Velocity HD
Samurai Vengeance II
Cordy
Sleepy Jack
NBA Jam
Sega Virtua Tennis
Shadowgun
Cut the Rope HD
Where is my water

I suppose the obvious title would be Shadowgun, which does look downright impressive on even with the non-Tegra 3 version, but here are a few other games I've been playing a bit on my One X:
Inertia: Escape Velocity HD Really awesome platformer, looks good and plays great on the One X. My only complaint is that even after paying $3.99 for the "full" HD version, there are still level packs to buy in the game! Lame! Still, a very awesome game and there is also a free/"lite" version if you don't want to shell out a few bucks for the so called "full" version.
Samurai Vengeance II This game is a bit older, but I'm just finally getting around to playing it. There is a THD version for Tegra2 devices, but the "standard" version looks awesome on the One X. I really don't see how a Tegra version could look any better. Pretty fun gameplay too.
Cordy Looks and runs great on the One X. Performance wasn't quite there when I tried playing on my Captivate, but it's a lot of fun on the One X with the really fluid performance.
Sleepy Jack From the same developers as Cordy. A shooter-on-rails of sorts.
I really am impressed with the quality of the gaming experience on mobile phones these days. Just a few years ago, I never would have imagined we'd be playing such awesome, and relatively sophisticated, games and yet here we are - the hardware capabilities are just growing exponentially.

Haven't had any problems with Sega Virtua Tennis and NBA Jam.

Thanks all. Added to the list of games working. Cordy is beautiful btw

Totally lagging!
Hey guys, my AT&T One X seems to lag quite a bit during games. Does this happen to you?
In Cordy, it will drop a few frames, making the movement barely fluid.
In Temple Run, it will often freeze, in game, to where I lose!
In Osmos, It will drop frames badly!
What is the deal here! Antutu and quadrant show this phone kicking arse. But I have NOT been impressed with the crappy Adreno GPU!
Does any one else know what I am talking about? Does this just have to do with optimization?
MX player won't work in HW rendering at all! Software rendering is sooo slow and buggy! What is happening????

if you are not playing a MP4 file, MX player obviously cannot enter HW acceleration....
talking about the adreno...it actually served me well...720p mkv with .ass subtile runs just fine in MX player, and for games like shadowgun and NFS hot persuit it has performed flawlessly....I'm running a rogers device, so I don't know what AT&T did to their phones.

At&t didn't do anything besides add bloat that is easily disabled. My phone runs great with every game you mentioned. There was a point in which my main homescreen page was so choppy it was unbearable. I removed the weather widget, rebooted and noticed there was a gallery icon that was somehow hidden behind the weather widget. Removed it, re added the widget, everything is peachy keen again.

This should pick up soon I believe. In the US, most of the top end phones will be running on the S4 this year. Too big of a market to pass up I think.

Mini-Review The Dark Knight Rises HD video

Hello all!
Here is my mini review of the game.
So the game is great...outstanding graphics etc. Things that need to be fixed...Performance. It is laggy and not only on the Note.
So if it lags on the GS3 then I expect an update to fix it soon...or at least I hope :laugh:
Also, it wouldn't hurt if people actually moved their mouths during cut scenes!
Anyways, I hope you enjoy it.
Dont forget to watch in HD
The sixaxis touch profile is attached to the post as well. Stock DPI.
Regards

ive got this game on my gnote using the miui rom but its extremely laggy even if im oerclocked to 1.6 Ghz

MIUI is based on CM9/AOKP not Samsung ROMs correct?
If so, that is normal. Currently those roms cannot match the speed of Samsung ones specially since the kernal I am using has an overclocked GPU.
I am a CM9 fan from my Captivate days but for the NOTE, it is still not on par sadly.

Running 4.0.4 Classic rom with Notecore v7 EX
This game lags terribly and heats up the phone so much near the camera area, its crazy...
Tested it out on my wives Ipad 2 and it runs like a dream, looks better and also sits in multitask area and opens again no problem, why the hell with a 1.6mhz dual core super machine can we not get it to run anywhere near as good as bloomin god I hate apple, but they always get it right

Is not optimized for android. Check the GS3 having the same lag. If that one with a quad core and faster GPU cannot handle it then you know is the game. I hope Gameloft fixes it soon though as the lag does take away from the fun :\

my CPU is ocd to 1.6 and GPU to 400mhz (notecore v7, cleanote 3.1 rom), still laggy as hell. spent the last hour to tweak the setting using chainfire 3d, trying different plugins. and it seems better, but maybe its just a placebo effect.
def, need an update for performance...

I dont even try with chainfire. For now, Notecore is as good as it gets. The only thing that made me smile was seeing the GS3 with the same issues...a little bit of hope I mean, it still plays fine but I rather wait and play it better...hopefully.

To be honest even my newly updated Lets Golf 3 lags like hell, even though im OC'd to 1.6 with Notecore, I suppose its down to the shear size of the screen the graphics are having to push too.
Not sure these huge 3D games are ever going to run well on our notes

Nova 3 , Mass Effect 3 , Real Racing 2, etc..all run super smooth. Have you tried those?
Also, is screen resolution not size that matters.

What ROM you using?

Clean Note latest.

Aha, used to use clean note, was fantastic, will return to it

Sweet. Post back if you can, to see if you got some improvement.

Tried Cleanote 3.1 and Classic also tried stock ICS and GB still all lag pretty bad...
Then I stumbled across this rom
AniDroid-N7000 ICS ROM
This game certainly runs the smoothest, with a few lags but not as bad as the others i have tried, also tested Lets golf and it runs superbly smooth, not sure what he has done with this ROM, but it works for me.

agreed. what dev's do is just port the game over to android instead of starting from scratch thus giving android devices a bad name if the game does not properly run on android platforms. A quad core SIII should be able to handle this game with no lags or whatsoever. The galaxy note is not far behind the SIII so we should be able to play the game smoothly, a few fps drops is acceptable

Did you try the OCed kernel with Cleannote ?
I have tried that ROM you mentioned and the performance was not close to CleanNote with the OCed kernel in any of the highend games I tried before.

Its weird I tried Cleanote last night with OC Notecore EX ver 7 and this game ran exactly the same as when I tried it with Classic ROM with the same Notecore.
Now this morning i am testing AniDroid-N7000 ICS ROM and my findings are very much better, cant explain why, would love to know. I can actually play this game now and enjoy it, Ok its not quite as smooth and nice as the IPAD version but then thats not our Notes fault I guess, its down to the production of the game on Android, would love to hear others experiences with other roms.
Another point with Dead Trigger I was finding graphics set to high I would occasionally get screen freezes, but with the AniDroid rom it runs smooth, not had a screen freeze.

That is very odd indeed. I just played Dead Trigger for a while yesterday with the very high settings (Tegra 3) without a hiccup. In fact, that will be my next video
Gotta love how everyone's experience can be so different even with the same phones.

What OC settings do you use ?

I just leave Notecore defaults. Sometimes change to pegasusq maybe but everything else I leave as default for the OC kernel.
