What are the best scrolling shooters available that work with the XPlay controls? I've given R-Type a go and was wondering what others recommend
AirAttack HD Make sure it's the Xperia PLAY version!
There's also a game called Overkill. It's not specifically Xperia PLAY Optimized, but it works perfectly with the D-pad and X to shoot.
scrolling shooters? oh there are dozens but here are my favourites(long time STG fan.-)
for some shooting goodness fire up FPSE Emulator and get the following PS One Games:
-Salamander Deluxe Pack Plus(Salamander 1+Lifeforce AND Salamander 2 included,Salamander 2 is just great!)
-Gradius Deluxe Pack(Gradius 1+2,classic but i personally prefer Salamander)
-Gradius Gaiden(best of all Gradius imho,japan release only,nice graphics,much more accesible than classic Gradius)
-Parodius Deluxe Pack(Parodius 1+2,classic)
-Sexy Parodius(completely whack+hillarious..)
-R-Type Delta(best ps one shooter,period)
-R-Types(R-Type 1+2)
-G-Darius(some twisted shooting action with different paths,long bossbattles and psychedelic style graphics thrown in)
-Einhänder(the only Squaresoft Shooter,still great)
-Thunder Force Verfect System(great!)
on Genesis i highly recommend Contra:Hard Corps(they should have named it Contra:Hard Core,its really a challenge,its contra on speed) and Gunstar Heroes,intense shooting action,also the Thunder Force Series,on SNES Axelay is great also the SNES Contra
Neo Geo:Last Resort(great R-Type like Style,very challenging),Aero Fighters(Sonic Wings),Pulstar,Viewpoint(isometric unique style but frustrating),Shock Troopers(really really great one!),Metal Slug 1-5,Ninja Commando
Tiger Arcade(CPS2):Mars Matrix,Giga Wing,Progear no Arashi,Ecofighters,1944 The Loop Master
and finally if you want to see something very intense and weird or just for the fun:
fire up an NES emulator and get the game RECCA:Summer Carnival 92.its an japanese game especially made back in 1992 for a shooting game competition called summer carnival.thats just insane what they did with the very limited NES hardware,you won`t believe that this is a NES game:there are a mass amount of ultra fast bullets and enemies with no slowdowns,huge bosses and the music is great also the stages backgrounds are really tripping you out,its an adrenaline bomb-)
no actual games will give you the joy and challenge of those oldschool shooters,trust me..and finally,thats what the xperia play is for:emulation .-) when i see such half assed ports like R-Type where there is no option for turning off this touch overlay even with "xperia play optimized" stamp..really better to emulate
There is a port of Tyrian on the market. You have to configure the controls through a non obvious interface, but it is probably one of the best vertically scrolling shooters ever made.

As above.
Psone:
R-type Delta
Einhander
Snes:
Super R-type
R-type 3
Tigermame:

Now you are my favourite person on the whole internets.
i tried to make it work via dos emulators, but never worked.
just like Raptor: Call of shadows, wich is my fav dos based shooter. Somehow you can make it work on android, with full controls, but i never found the way to do it.

what app/rom setup do you use to get this working? looks like a good one
Blazing star is awesome, as is Pulstar (both NeoGeo). Dont forget theres GigaWing (CPS2) All three of these games, and many more, are playable on the awesome emulator Tiger Arcade Game Emulator, or TigerMame on the android market. Remeber though you must have the original games in order to have the roms. I only remember these games because I dumped enough quarters into the arcade games as a teen... Oh and if you like the Turbo-Grafx 16, Sinistron is pretty good, not as good the above ones but still fun.
So in a nutshell:
NeoGeo:
Blazing Star
Pulstar
CPS2: (Capcom Play System 2)
Gigawing 1 & 2
hmm tiger arcade is giving me graphics issues and control issues. I see the text and coin graphics but nothing else... also cant seem to map the controls to the xpderia pad. ah dear
What version of Tiger Arcade do you have? Mine works flawlessly on my xplay.

hehe some CAVE goodness..there are many CAVE bullet hell/manic shooters,main problem is:they are mostly vertical/TATE shooter and this is unfortanetly too small on xperia plays screen,you simply can`t concentrate on the ships hitbox(except Progear no Arashi which was made together with Capcom and is a horizontal shooter)
but if you want some really manic shooting i strongly recommend to fire up a pc mame emulator,for instance there is a extra lagless SHMUPMAME version,you can grab it on SHMUPS.COM,turn your monitor to vertical and try
-Donpachi(classic)
-Dodonpachi(my favourite till today,beautiful drawn sprites,great soundtrack,big explosions,supernice bulletpatterns)
-Dodonpachi Daioujou(ruthless one,you will throw your controller/stick onto the wall .-)
-E.S.P.rade(first in the "ESP" series)
-Espgaluda 1("easiest" Cave Shooter)
-Ketsui(Hardcore!)
-Guwange(probably the most stylish one if you are into japanese settings and oh boy the music in stage 3..)
-Dangun Feveron/Fever SOS(THE Disco Shooter,fast and frenzy.-)
all of them are great on their own! there are also numerous ports of the newer CAVE games on xbox 360(Mushihimesama Futari,Espgaluda 2,Dodonpachi Resurrection,DeathSmiles 1+2,Pink Sweets/MuchiMuchiPork are the ones that come to my mind).simply put CAVE are the masters of bullet hell shooting .-) i`ve got an old CRT monitor standing vertical with a arcade stick just for all the vertical shooters .-)
and for Blazing Star:yeah i totally forgot that one,really great shooter!
i`m personally really enjoying Mars Matrix and Giga Wing on the Xperia Play cause they have some sort of full screen vertical,which i didnt like on the big screen but for the Xperia Play its perfect,from the ps one games its Gradius Gaiden and the Salamander Deluxe Pack which i like the most.
The emulator work great but the graphic not good as it should be
I changed all the setting to the highest but steel no change
I tried psx4droid but its cruse when i load rom
The solution:
Update to the last Fpse version, then download this plugin:
http://perso.numericable.fr/schtruck/libopenglplugin.so
To load opengl plugin, just run FPse into softmode, then go to MISC menu and into the bottom choose Load OpenGL plugin,
Quit Fpse and restart to Apply change.

Its PlayStation one. Its pixelated. Some PC emulators add a blurring effect but the game should be the same.

Try update fpse. Version 0.11.1 support opengl plugin and graphic is much better.

Thank you!!
i updated and now the graphic are perfect , just like on the computer
Thanks again!
what did you change besides updating from the market? I updated to the 1/9/12 (Version 11.9) and its still pixelated.
has anyone else notice a slight lag in most games?
I have a lower powered single core device (xperia play) and it runs 100% perfect on everything I throw at it, no lag, zero frameskip just absolutely perfect.
playing the same games on my dual core tegra2 device and it's laggy as hell sometimes. (final fantasy games)
I notice that if I remove the "frame limiter" it flys... like 100fps almost unplayably fast... tried several different custom roms + stock... nothing helps
Anyone have a fix for this? Can someone post their settings for system & video etc if they have theirs running good? is there a magic plug-in I'm missing or something?
I know this device is capable of running this 100% 60+fps zero frame skip... it's either a setting I'm missing or a bug somewhere.

i've experienced the slowdowns from when I got my transformer shortly after it came out... From what I'm reading what I'm seeing is normal for the transformer. I was running the version before this and also running the newest verison in the market, small change but the issue is still there.
people seem pleased to see 50-60 fps on games like FF7, I guess I'm a little too picky... especially when I know it can do better... and I've *seen* it do better.
That video plug-in gives that buttery smoothness I am expecting to see but is very glitchy in the games I tried. Graphical errors and anomolies everywhere. Looks nice though when it's not messing up.
I might hit up the author of the program to see if he can look at it.
remove the frame limiter on fpse and load up FF7 and print framecount and play a bit, very smooth but way too fast i'm seeing 100-120fps, put the frame limit back on and it drops to "60fps" but stutters and lags like it's dropping below 30fps. specifically in fights etc and parts with high polygon count.
I'm sure it's a glitch somewhere.
I use both an Xperia Play and a Motorolla Razr, and when playing any of the three games I'm going for (Grandia, Xenogears, Suikoden II) the sides are corrupted with part of the onscreen art, but more importantly many of the video screens are completely whited out. Not necessarily FMV, but nonplayable story elements.
Anyway, if anyone has any ideas, I'd really like to try the openGL routine.
also having issues with FF7. tried a bunch of different settings but cant get it to my liking. Its perfect when your running around the 1st reactor but when you get in a random fight everything slows. The music, frame rate; everything. OR its faster than normal on the map then when getting in a random fight its STUPID fast. so fast that the white hand cursor that selects things is solid ( should be blinking) lol. I kinda gave up on it, too annoying to play either way.
I played xenogears for several hours. it's playable. the graphics are smooth. some cut scenes are laggy, but overall is fine. hope they fix it for ff7 battle menu.
Does anyone know what version of opengl the plugin for fpse is??
I heard someone say its 1.1 or something but for most phones running emulators wouldnt they have opengl es 2.0 natively like our tf's ?? Would make sense to have the most used and native version as the plugin wouldnt it?
I dont know all i know is its pretty as hell!! but crap fps atm Hope an update to the emu or plugin will help
Sent from my tf running krakd warped an twisted 1544mhz Blades kernel
I have version 0.11.14 and lastest opengl plugin. But when I use opengl plugin after quit and open FPSE again it crash. I wondering how to run FPSE in "softmode"?
I use FPSE in my Samsung Galaxy S2 run in ICS 4.0.3 leak XXLPH.
OpenGL plugin is amazing graphic improvement but I have no more fps, now I have fpm (frames per minut)
New version is out: FPse 0.11.40
here are the changes:
- Fixed sound! really perfect now! especially if you set SPUSYNC from audio menu
- Added OpenGL-ES 2.0 blitter mode as default software. Very fast and smooth, and bilinear filtered!
if you want old software mode, just go to MISC menu and select Old Software drawing then restart FPse.
- Updated openGL plugin with fixes and support for Rockchip GPU.
- Fixed Start menu of GT1 in soft mode

Legend Of Legaia
Hi..
i dunno if this thread is still alive or active, but, i just want to know what is the best settings for FPSE to obtain he best graphics without suffering lagginess. i am playing Legend Of Legaia on my stock Nexus 7 2012 and when i use the OpenGL plugin, yes, there is a graphics improvement. Vahn's hair is not soo messed up and pixellated..but when i get into fight scenes the game stutters and lags esp when using arts (attacks) with my characters and kinda framerate drops..but when i don't use openGL, framerate is alright but graphics are cappy..legend of legaia does still look cool on PS1..but i never imagined it still has a low quality graphics when used in emulators. haha
n3wgames released a port for android which works very well!
This game is availaible on android market for a very fair price, though originally intended for tablets running honeycomb with tegra chip.
I have bought this game for my tablet and works wonderfully. I have thought of trying this on older hardware to see how this game demanding is.
AND IT WORKS!
I am successfully running this game on typhoon ROM HD2 with chainfire 3D(NVIDIA plugin) There are few problems, but it's nothing hard to fix. Current issue is with S3TC texture compression and rather slow emulation of NVIDIA Tegra part. Looking a way to overcome this.
I'm trying to fine tune graphic settings to:
-get most of detail on my tablet
-reduce quality on HD2 to improve gameplay experience
For example you can tweak some options under
/sdcard/android/data/com.n3vgames.android/trainz/files/userdata/settings
#globalmodule.txt
for example draw-distance can be set higher to increase viewing distance with cost of few FPS, also good/bad-weather-fog can have dramatic impact on game speed. In game options are quite lacking and doesn't have all tweaks needed.
I'm still looking for some settings to add in this file.
Thanks for adreno 200 support
Trainz is adreno200 compatible BUT you must use NVIDIA plugin or you'll get white textures. I'm looking atm for a way to disable S3TC texture compression, it's major performance hogger.

So on a dhd it will work OK then if it works on a hd2

Hi, the amazing spiderman gameloft game was recently released onto the google play store. However after looking at some youtube videos it has become apparent that certain devices of similar hardware get the hd ipad 2 game whilst the rest get the crappy iphone 3gs version. for example the galaxy sii gets the full bloom, reflectiona nd lighting on the character itself and depth of field when web slinging yet my evo 3d and one x have no effects whatsoever and low res textures. i know my devices can run this game because they run nova 3 on full effects fine. if there is a way to get full effects please post.
edit: actually found some pretty neat things when searching the sd cache, graphic enhancements may be able to be turned on manually by changing all config files to high.
Hey guys,
Just wanted to let you know that Brotherhood of Violence by Realtech VR is optimized for the Xperia Play gamepad. You need to check (tick) the 'Joystick' parameter in the Options menu and then it's game on. The button icons etc even come up in the first level tutorial.
Not played it much yet but it has a retro 'Streets of Rage' flavour and is quite cinematic with some console grade graphics to ice it off . The in-game voice-over will have you cracking up with laughter. I think it is intentionally ridiculous as the subtitles (which appear to be compulsory) make more sense.
Character customization appears to be a huge part of the game, though I haven't delved into that yet. Playing with mainstay character Lamar makes the game feel like your playing a crossover of Black Dynamite meets Warriors! Anyhoo, I've said too much! Let me know what you think

Wow, I was just about to buy this on my Microsoft Surface Pro! Think I might just be buying both versions
Thanks for the heads up OP!

Great find man. There are no problems with lags or force closes in this game right? Was looking for a good fighting game on Android.
No lags that I can find yet. But that being said my phone is overclocked and I haven't tested it at factory MHz level.
The voice overs had me giggling too. I really don't think it was intentional either, just sounds like they don't speak english really well. I like Realtech VR, they always include us Xperia Play users.

Yes, it is, for the XPlay. If you think the present price point is too costly, wait until it goes on sale again.
