Thanks

give this a try. as far as roms go, youll have to search for those on your own as it is against xda rules as im sure you know

Thank you Darunion ..... yes , Im sure i can find some ROM's all on my own lol
BUT if anyone can suggest any better android emulators please feel free to add them
:highfive:

Well I am also looking for good emulators as well. I had Gameboid on my Infuse but when I use it on my Tab, I really do not like it as much. I'm looking for some really good emulators to play snes, GBA, N64, etc... I know i cant post where to find roms, I'm pretty sure I can find roms on my own.
Also is there a better Emulator to play arcade games other than MAME?

MAME comes in two flavours, one which uses the more recent .139 core which offers a wider range of games to play, however mileage may vary.
As far as i know there are no other arcade emulators in development for the Android format, although i have been away from the emulation scene for about a year now i have been an avid user and fan from the mid 90s, following both Console, Computer and Arcade emulation from the days of 'Shark', 'Sparcade' and 'Hive'.
If, however, you are looking for other systems, then perhaps you would like to try Frodo which covers the Commodore computers and offers excellent compatability.
You also have Marvin, which is an excellent ZX Spectrum/128 emulator - Marvin actually hooks upto WOS - world of Spectrum and allows you to play the games direct on your Tab.
And if you fancy a real trip, Colem is a great CBS Colecovision emulator.

I play snes on mine and I get my stuff from there

Only thing i can really think of is..... what controller would be best for my tab/games ?
I do have some other questions but this isn't the forum for it ( kinda involves turning a SGT 10 into an old skool arcade machine ) but as i said i will save it for another forum and time

I like using my ps3 controller, if you are rooted but if not then a wired 360 controller will do the job.
I like the ps3 cont. Better because theres no wire sticking out of my tablet

It 'can' be done with the Icade which was originally released for the Apple Ipad.
Effectively it turns the tablet into a mini arcade cabinet with, what looks like a mini Wico joystick and buttons et al.
It looks fantastic although i have never actually used one.

Emulators Snes?

I have tried a few emulators but is it our touchscreen that limits the use of using y and a buttons at the same time? If so do they make a controller that connects to our phones (not ps3)
Not sure but I would imagine any Bluetooth controller would work to some degree.

yeah I could do the ps3 controller thing but dont want to drag that out in the middle of a hallway just to kill some time playing mario bros3. I just thought someone knew of a game pad that connects to it or something.

If you have the cash, you could get the iControlPad. Or the upcoming Gametel looks promising.
Apparently the wii remote will connect to the g2x according to some forum posts I just came across. One person mentioned http://www.bestbuy.com/site/POWER+A+-+ProPack+Mini+Remote+and+Mini+Chuk+for+Nintendo+Wi i/1168433.p?id=1218228673832&skuId=1168433

Resurrecting this thread instead of starting a new one.
I'm looking for one as well, but for a different reason, I've tried SNES A.D. and SNESoid but neither allow me to configure the cheats (What, I've beat all the games I'm interested in on the console as a kid, I have a right to cheat. ) the settings state that I can add cheats but the actual option it references isn't there. So, I'm looking for one which is free and allows usage of cheats.
Thats weird snesAD cheats work for me before ill reinstall it later today and let you know
Making bad decision's one at a time.
Bear in min I'm using the "lite" version, perhaps it's intentional that I can't. I assume, by the message I get at the cheat selection menu that to insert a cheat the insertion option is there right after I hit the hot key (can't think of the proper name of it atm)
SnesAD is free... So its working for me...
Menu in SnesAD> More>Cheats>Menu again button again> +new cheat((appears at the bottom when you hit menu button at the cheat screen)

Gameboy Advance emulator with Linkcable?

i know there are many threads about gameboy emulators. But i wanted to start a thread about a gba emulator that can emulate linkcable. I heard of nes emulators that can usw multiplayer per BT/wifi (don#t know how it works). If there is anybody who can create a gba emulator that can emulate a linkcable i would also pay for it or credit him per paypal. i think many people would do the same and are interested in this.

I think I read somewhere that link cable support for gba is just not feasible/possible due to the way it works. It was coming from an actual developer, which is why I stopped looking for this entirely. I'd love to be proven wrong, though.
I think he mentioned that there are megabytes of data almost randomly transferred at any moment in time and there's little to no latency allowed. So it's very unlikely that this will be supported anytime soon
From what I gathered, a link cable session is something entirely different from a multiplayer game with multiple controllers plugged into the console. In the latter case you essentially just push the input values over the net and accept what little latency there is. In case of the link cable, whole portions of the game rom are transferred and everything has to be in tight sync.
But... I'm just talking out of my ass. I remember this from back when I was looking for this precise feature. It might or might not be true.

Honestly wireless communication should be possible but may vary depending on device hardware. The PSP has a gba emu and a sneak one that supports wireless linking. It Even has an adhoc file stranger program to send files to other psps via adhoc to each other which also would be great for our phones. What wee really need is for someone to start porting this kind of stuff. It is possible just not reallly attempted.

If you look on the computer side of things, linkcable supporting GBA emus aren't really polished and it took a big while before they were even available/working. While I don't know the specifics myself of linkcable sessions, I'd back you up with what you said which is pretty much what I read myself.

My Little Pony Friendship is Magic (AVAILABLE NOW, FREE!)

Yeah so... I might be the only person here who's looking forward to this game. There's no official release date available yet, but Gameloft has announced that it will be available 'later this year' and will be on both iOS and Android.
From what I can tell it looks to be a city builder type game. Playing mini games to earn points, then using those points to buy houses, ponies, items...so on and so forth.
So my questions to you all is: Are you excited for this game? Do you think It'll satisfy My Little Pony fans? Will you be buying this? & If so how much are you willing to pay?
I personally think I will be a good game if they do 2 simple things. Listen to what the fans have to say, and have it reflect future episodes, meaning if new ponies make their appearance in season 3, I think Gameloft should add them into the game and to do as much as possible to have the game reflect the TV show. If they keep the updates coming this game should have some lasting appeal & replay value.
Check out the iPad game play demo and let me know what you think.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AlBInHiJ-74
As a fellow brony, this excites me. /)
Like you said, as long as Gameloft listens to what the fans have to say. And of course new ponies and cannon names and the whatnot. And I hope that they include some of the maybe not so well known background ponies. Such as Lyra, Bon Bon, and Dr. Whooves, etc.. I'd probably pay anywhere between 5 and 10 dollars. Depending on how much content is actually in the game.
Possibly....even if I stopped watching it after season 2 episode 1....I still read the fanfics though lol.

They could make great use of the Xperia Plays touch pads on this game, instead of touch swiping the screen to navigate you could just use the touch pads. And the mini games could make great use of the D-pad. The game has huge potential hopefully they put effort into this instead of just selling the name and making a quick buck.

The only 'major' issue I've come across is the inability to connect to Gameloft & stay connected.
It's a flaw in the game, I expect this to be fixed pretty soon considering most challenges have to do with connecting to gameloft and interacting with other ponies.
All in all a pretty good game tho, I've played it more than Halo 4 so far...

things get sort of expensive later down the road, but they don't force it on you. I'm level 23 and I haven't spent a dollar yet. As long as you manage your in game money you should be fine.

Not really, after you hit level 20 everything you need is pretty much there. I currently have 35,000+ bits right now and that number increases every 3 minutes or so. I've also done all the available 'challenges' for the time being (besides the GL ones obviously)
So yeah hopefully we'll see an update soon...

More or less stable emulator exists only for PS one
Devices need to be ALOT more powerful than the device they are emulatoring, this is why PSone emulators are only just becoming good now, and also why you do not get Xbox360/PS3 emulators for PC (even high spec ones)
Consoles are specially designed hardware. So its emulation on other devices is really a tough thing to do. Because other devices cant render the high bit rate polygones and for that devs use other ways and delays. Which is resource consuming and overall quality is affected.

It is impossibile now to see a PS2 emulator on Android. The current hardware isn't powerful enought to run PS2 games on an emulator. However, there are two PSX emulator that run great on Android. One of these is FPSE.

The reason that we need so much resources to run emulators is because they are not the true Game System OS. it's just taking a rom and translating it to something that's usable.
If we could get our hands on the true source code of a console, then that's when you would see smooth fast emulators...
