[Q] Animal Crossing on the Xperia Play

Is anyone here a fan of the Animal Crossing series from Nintendo? I definitely am and I started trying to figure out if there was a way to play one of these games on my Xperia Play. After doing a little research, I discovered that the original Animal Crossing started off as Animal Forest, a Nintendo 64 game released only in Japan in 2001. In 2002 it got ported to the Gamecube and released for all regions. I have a rom of the Nintendo 64 version that had been patched for English and actually got it to load in N64oid! Unfortunately, it crashed when K.K. told me to set the game clock. Bummer! I wonder if there are any patched versions floating around that can get past this first road block, or if there is some way to set the clock in N64oid that I can't seem to find.
Is anyone else interested in playing Animal Forest/Crossing on their phone?

Don't speak of roms. You will be killed.

Yeah I defiantly would! Loved that game!

N64oid is on the SlideMe market now for android, and is being updated soon with very high compatibility.

Lets hope that includes Animal Forest. I tried running Animal Crossing on the DS emulator earlier but it was so slow that it was unplayable. It would be nice if Nintendo and other developers would recognize the potential of the Play and create their own android stores where they could release some of their older titles that could easily be optimized for the Play. I would gladly pay $10 for a perfect port of Animal Crossing.

There's more chance of buying Mario Kart on the Playstation Store!

No, not really. What I'm saying is that developers are missing a major opportunity by not releasing android-friendly ports of successful games they've created in the past. The nostalgia factor alone would drive the majority of sales.
The idea that Nintendo would voluntarily share revenue from any of their ip's with anyone is, well... Let's just say it will be a cold day in Hell.

Sounds to me like the emulator doesn't support the real time clock, necessary to emulate animal crossing...
Here is more info the real time clock, sounds like Animal Forest is the only game on the N64 to use the clock...

I wonder if this RTC patch only pertains to specific emulators. Worst case scenario, I think I could live with setting the clock whenever I played.

the device is a few months old mate, just wait and the big names will come, you will never get nintendo games on the play but rumor is that sega plans to bring alot of retro games to android, word is, it was sega that got all the emulators taken off the market

Sega is not unfriendly towards emulation. They hired Steve Snake, one of the guys behind one of the most popular Genesis emulators for PC, to emulate some of their classics for PC release in the past. Doesn't mean they weren't the reason the emulators got taken down, but just something I wanted to point out.

sega may not be unfriendly towards emulation, but like any company they are unfriendly towards competition

I used the japanese version of rom and got past the initial train ride but then crashed at entering village. N64oid should be getting that engine update anytime now. This is also my# 1 game for n64oid. Just a note, you can swap gamesaves between english version and japanes by changing gamesave file the same as the rom of language choice.

I just tried the Japanese version and got the exact same result. Man, this sucks. How cool would it be to play this game? Pulling weeds, finding classic Nintendo games...

anyone tried this on v2.0 of N64oid?

I've done the same. N64 looked playable but when I got to that dog it asked me to set the time. So I pushed x or o something a bunch of times.. and it worked. But when I got on the train the game looked terrible and it wasn't showing text input/responses and the textures were spazing out and changing colors. I'm sticking to harvest moon on my snes emulator.

Come to think of it, I don't think I have tried it since v2. Does anyone have an english patched version of the rom?

Anyone?

It said in the updates, v 2.03 that Animal Forest was fixed and support for touchpad/gamepad was added! Any ideas?

Any games that offer real-time iOs/Android multiplayer?

Having one Android tablet and one ipad in the house makes gaming really boring. Are there any multiplayer games that allows for cross-platform action between the two os'? I'm not talking OpenFeint, I mean simultanious, real-time, multiplayer.
Sent from my Transformer TF101 using Tapatalk

I've been wanting to check out Order & Chaos from Gameloft to see if it's cross-platform. The only app I've actually done cross-platform "gaming" with is Words With Friends. I can play simultaneously with my friend's iPod Touch/iPhone, but this is with my Nexus S. I haven't seen any cross-platform tablet gaming.. except MAYBE Order and Chaos.

Dungeon Defenders, Asphalt 6 (may not let you log in to Gameloft Live after 3.1 update???), Guerilla Bob but I think it's local network only. If Gun Bros would ever get the online update you could add it to the list. Also Pocket Legends works great and the devs have a new games coming out in the next couple weeks with a space theme. Skies of Glory worked on phones but it crashes on tablet.

Reckless racing and raging thunder to the list

Homerun battle

Pool break pro

Damn, this is looking dismal
Sent from my Transformer TF101 using Tapatalk

I think Dungeon Defenders supports cross platform for iOS and Android. When it is released on Xbox360, PS3, and PC, it will supposedly allow cross platform between all systems.

Pocket legends and words with friends

I know it has been on the list a few times already, but pocket legends. I play that on my phone (also worked on my acer iconia a500) and my friend plays it on his iphone when we are both working. Excellent way to waist time.

While I haven't got my TF101 yet, I do play X-Plane and Starfront: Collision crossplatform with my brother, he has an iPhone 4 and I use my Galaxy Tab 7". Most Gameloft games that support multiplayer will work, as long as both versions match (eg. my bro and I had to make sure we both had v1.0.6 of SF:C but as long as both are on latest should be fine).

It is? Cross platform gaming doesn't really exist too much anywhere. I think this list is a great start to that happening more and more.

guerrilla bob THD! you can play it on your android device and fight against ios, windows and osx

Other than the MMO's (like the Legend series by Spacetime Studios) and Whatever With Friends, I found some great free games with cross-platform multiplayer support:

Virtua Tennis released March 19th !

It's looking like this could be a good year for the Xperia Play

Cool, I love this game!
I had it in Ngage time ago

Next Monday I'll buy it right away. I hope they don't limit the single player mode in the fashion of Let's Golf 3, or that if they do, they give you a buy-out. I don't mind the freemium model, but I want to play as long as I want.

I love this game any platform.
Really good notice.

Well, one can be optimistic cant he ?

RPG Games for the Infinity

Anybody has any suggestion for some good RPG games for the Infinity?
Hopefully, some that would utilize well the good screen resolution of the tablet
I know there's a separate thread for games but I guess RPG gamers out there would appreciate the filter
Thanks a lot ^_^

There's an old buggy port of Baldur's Gate for Android and there's a proper tablet version coming soon, for what it's worth...
I believe you'll find more Diablo-like games (Heroes Call, for example) than proper RPGs which seem to be getting out of fashion, but I'm waiting for some hints here as well, perhaps someone knows something (HD) tablet-optimised.

It's a bit pricey but Square did a good job remaking Final Fantasy 2. It's not out of this world on the graphics but its still fun. Look up some youtube videos of the game play.

One more vote for Final Fantasy III, the game looks amazing on the infinity and the controls are well thought out.
If you're a fan of JRPGS (turn based selection combat) then any of the games by KEMCO are good. The story may not be as epic as chrono trigger, but it gets the job done lol
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...lution+Co.,+Ltd.)#?t=W251bGwsbnVsbCxudWxsLDNd
Finally you can also play all the old RPGS with an SNES emulator, I suggest https://play.google.com/store/apps/...vbS5idWJibGV6YXBnYW1lcy5zdXBlcmduZXNfbGl0ZSJd
I've been playing all the fan translated rpgs that were released in Japan but not for the US like suikoden 3!

are these turn based?

got that final fantasy III game and i must say that it definitely is awesome... they actually did a lot of change in the graphics compared to the original one...
i wonder what else is out there for our infinity? I just downloaded Horn and so far it looks great... but im actually looking for some more Japanese RPG games similar to final fantasy... any other suggestion?

I just noticed DosBox Turbo is available. OH MAN. I wonder if I can get Master of Magic and some other great classics running in it! That really opens up the possibilities!!

I'm crossing my fingers for Gameloft to properly port Order and Chaos to the infinity.
The game was sweet on my Galaxy Nexus, so I wonder how it will be on this baby!

If the you have the snes emulator and a good source of roms, see if they have 7th saga. That was pretty neat growing up. It had about 4 or 5 main characters to play as with different story lines.
While waiting for O&C, check out Iruna Online. I think the company is still working on an official final release but it is promising. You have your group online game play etc. Makes you wonder what Gameloft is doing when a much smaller company can release a beta version of their online game that is compatible with our TF700.

Also if you like old school Baulder's Gate style RPGS I have to recommend Avadon: The Black Fortress

bards tale
the bards tale like the olders versions on mac and ps, the hd version is 3.5gig but its worth it. :good:

Haven't purchased myself yet but Spectral Souls (if you are into Japanese SRPG) has relatively high rating among Japanese community.

looking for those types......................

For turn based I rate the following :
Call of Cthulhu : Wasted Land
Xenowar
The first is a seriously brilliant horror rpg based in H P Lovecraft's world and during the first world war.
The second is a very good remake of X-Com Enemy Unknown.

bringing this back up as Bard's Tale isnt jiving real well with JB for me. Even in performance mode, when you run into several enemies the game slows to a crawl and eventually force closes.
Anyone else having this issue or have a solution?

I bought Bard's Tale HD version (3,5GB) but the performace during the game is really low. I must change Performance mode to MEDIUM ( Infinity actually is the the best Android tablet and I must play in medium level to play without any lags ?? WTF). As the game dedicated for Tegra 3 is really not optimized or Tegra 3 is overrated.

are these appeal based?

I choose Performance mode in tablet settings. Next time to play. In performace options (in game) I choose maximum and let's go. Everything looks really nice (moving around tavern) until you meet the fist enemy. There is fire, big monster and at this moment I have terrible lags. My "hero" is moving so slowly and there is no any pleasure with playing. When I set performance mode (in game) to medium it looks great. So my question is: Tegra 3 is overrated or game not fully optimized or maybe both...

They should port Midnight Clup to Xperia Play instead of boring GTA games.

Hopefully this will work bether on ICS for our Play than GTA 3.

Kickass! I know GTA3 was considered revolutionary at the time but I still think its a deeply flawed game; Vice City really makes for a fun sandbox experience while fixing the issues I had with 3 IMO

Fingers crossed for optimization for Play (after GTA 3 and Max Payne it's nearly sure, but it's not Gameloft ). Hope it will hit ASAP! ^^ And then what? San Andreas in 2015 and then GTA IV xD?

I hope this is made to work on single core devices like the Xperia PLAY. Optimisation would be a bonus.

Aww yeah, I dont like GTA III that much because the enviroment is repetive and depressive, + there is no motorbikes
Vice city is very good but san andreas was the best because it had EVERYTHING that it needed to be cool, I felt like nothing was missing.
I wouldnt have bought GTA III unless there would have not been 1€ sale

I'd second that San Andreas was the best but I honestly find myself playing Vice City more. San Andreas is ****ing huge but I felt a lot of detail was lost in creating such a huge world in such a small amount of time. Give me SA's mechanics with Vice City's world and I'd lose my ****

How about san andreas? Lol
