Why not ? Who makes the emulator?

Maybe because it doesn't the hardware to run one? -_-

My laptop with 4Ghz dual core cpu and nvida graphics cant run a game cube emulator at full speed lol

I think a dreamcast emu is the last console to ever work on the xperia play and that might be a long time away.

I've been using emulators for years now and I think the general rule of thumb is that you need 10x the processing power of the original console to be able to run the games at full speed.

An emu dev once told me the average is 12x the resources for full speed. Unfortunately, this was years ago, otherwise I would post the full discussion

Yea my info of 10x was from years ago too so things could be different now but the n64 had a 93.75mhz processor so theoretically we won't really be able to have any newer consoles emulated to be playable. And I have also tried many emulators in my gaming computer and the gamecube emulator runs like crap.

sorry i meant ATI graphics not NVIDA, i get confused, im more of a console gamer its just onboard graphics too that came with the CPU chipset. either way its far more powerful that the sexplay, it can play 1st generation 360 games like bioshock, but not the GC emulator

GC emulation is underdeveloped. Last I checked, the building instructions for Dolphin took two pages...

gamecube/wii emulation on pc works quite good for me. Not all games but most games do. Just hook up a x360 controller or wii motes and use upscaling+anti-aliasing and you can get better graphics out of it then the cube/wii can themselves.

A Gamecube emulator? Lol.
The most "powerful" console you will emulate on a Xperia Play is a Nintendo 64. And with a lot of luck and work, maybe a Dreamcast, but that's far, far away from being a reality.

Would be good but if gba games and n64 games dont run smooth mhf has no chance

My n64 runs about 55-60 fps on my play gnats runs good ps1 at full speed so I don't see the problem gc yeah thats a stretch but for what its worth its pretty powerfully out of the box much less modded

3ds emulator

Is it possible to get a 3ds emulator on the optimus3d ??
Thx
Sent from my LG-P920 using XDA App

Not thing is impossible. We just need someone to start with it. However, i was hope someone to start with psp first, since they already have source code available. It also playable on pc too
Sent from my LG-P920 using XDA Premium App

Thats amazing 2 :0
Sent from my LG-P920 using XDA App

It is unlikely to have a 3ds emulator and here's why....
Even on a pc an nds emulator (DeSmuME) requires a minimum 2 Ghz dual core cpu and 512Mb ram and the Android ds emulator from Tiger Labs also requires a very high spec android device just to work and even then is incomplete and is unusable so no it's not likely O3D will get a 3DS emulator.
Dave

We are about to getting to quad-core cpu. Nothing is impossible. Did you know tegra 3 almost powerful as ps3? Did you know samsung provide quad-core chip for sony's vita? Anyway, i m going to post psp emulation info. So someone can start to work on it

i would definetly use a psp emulator over a 3ds one

The question was not "will we ever get a 3DS emulator on any android device" but specifically will we get one on optimus 3D so no we won't get one, maybe a Tegra 3 device could in the future but the dual core 512mb optimus 3D is not powerful enough.
Dave

Thx dave that sucks
Sent from my LG-P920 using XDA App

Not to mention it would be unwieldy trying to play a 3DS game on 1 small screen. I'd rather have a PSP emulator w/ support for the 3D Converter App

Ah vita emulator now thats for the future to emulate

Drastic nds emulator is out and runs smoothly on single core devices
All we have to do is wait for 3ds emulation Devs to start up the project!!

could you please...
Downloading Emu... Ill let you guys know, Do you know any decent N64 emu? Ive tried Mupen and not so good on a quad core with 2Gb Ram

And this NDS Emu just gives a white screen and then closes... does it need a BIN like the GBA Emu? What ROMS are you playing?

I have tried pokemon pearl/platinum/white/white2,mario (torrent downloaded many from which 2 out of 7 din't work)
Since this emulator just came out I think you should inform the developer which games are not working and he'll try to fix it!
Happy emulating!

Closed!!!

First - they should give GTA VC in correct date. We didn't get it, and now thinking about San Andreas....It's too fast.

I'm not so sure. GTA San Andreas was a huge leap forwards. I have no doubt the current flagship devices will have problems running it, but our beloved Play?

San Andreas is the best gta IMO and as much as I'd love it on my play I highly doubt it will happen maybe on a note 2 ect
But we can only hope!

Gta sa wont run on our xperia play, MAYBE it will in the note 2 and im prety sure that it will run in most of the 2013 devices.
Sent from my Note 2 using xda premium

I dont think it will happen anytime soon and our play will be long out of date by the time it comes out, but i see no reason why they couldnt run the game on the play they had it running on the ps2 not perfectly but good enough to play it so i think it could run on the play, but i dont think it ever will

In my opinion - it should work on Play with Chainfire 3D, minimum resolution amd graphics, and problem with possibly no optimization can be fixed with GameKeyboard. But hope they can make optimize for us, and work on lowest settings. My dream - San Andreas on Play ....

thats not necessarily true, the ps2 only had a 300 mghz processor I think the reason the other ports dont run the best isnt because of the phones hardware but in shortcuts taken in the process of porting them over.

You are quite right about that, and more. if developers tubieran into account the ability of smartphones that can overclock.
Who said we could not play our Xplay to 1.8 Ghz!

[Q] gaming performance

Planning to buy a new tablet and the tf300t is on my short list.
With the latest updates, how is it working? Can all the latest, most demanding, 3D games be run flawlessly?

Tegra games run well for the most part.
Gameloft games are a really mixed bag. Bad performance on some, low graphics on others.
I wouldn't say every game can be run flawlessly at all, however, that said, I don't do an awful lot of gaming on android so I could be wrong

I haven't seen any issues running need for speed most wanted on the stock kernel however I am running cromi 3.2 but it shouldn't be that different from the Asus latest update.
Sent from my ASUS Transformer Pad TF300T using Tapatalk 2

Im on cromi with data2sd and have a good collection of games. Everything i have thrown at it runs flawlessly especially with overclocks. I hear gtavice is a problem though.

I play allot of games on my tf300... I can say most tegra games run perfectly... Only Shadowgun dead zone have some graphical hiccups.... Gameloft games run really bad,.... It's not the tablet fault, its because Gameloft refuses to optimize its game for Tegra.. I give an example, when I run wild blood or modern combat 3 on Samsung galaxy tab 7.7 which has dual core processor and quad core graphics has better graphics and run more smoothly and loads faster compared to my tf300 which has quad core CPU and 12CORE GPU... Can you believe Gameloft? Benchmark results proved that tf300 has better performance compared to the tab 7.7.

Modern Combat 5 release date announced

And just like that GL has announced release date for Modern Combat 5. July 24th

It states the release date is for iOS and android
Here's to hoping its XPO.
Sent from my Nexus 5 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app

Might be XPO, but if it does, it will be unplayable on Xplays. Asphalt 8 and Gangstar Vegas are both XPO and almost unplayable and even worse without support on Google Play. We really need Xperia Play 2. Nobody wants Vita even for that low price which it's solt now (that was the only reason why not make Xplay 2). Nowadays almost all people have smart phone and playing games, in 2011 there were significantly less people with smartphone and lot of people didn't know what smartphone is. Sony could make Xplay 2 compatible with Xplay1, support for PS1, PS2, PSP and even PSVita games. Games from PS1 could cost about 1-5$, PS2 and PSP games about 5-10. If they made great advertising and gave this phone HDMI/Widi capable, can you imagine what success could it be?

Totally, they have missed an opportunity to release next version of XP

The buttons are perfectly mapped on the nVidia Shield. They seriously took great care to make this game awesome on this device. Graphics are top notch, which is surprising considering that it's running on the same engine as MC4.

It's nice that Shield can run this game and it have its controller mapping (playing this on Shield must be like playing on Vita) but that doesn't mean it will run with gamepad on Xplay. There are some games which have MOGA support and don't Xplay support. And cause of it runs on MC4 engine (which is fluid on Xplay) I want to know if it has support for Xperia Play controls and how does it run?

The game crashes when you are supposed to begin playing it... It's the ram probably, I tried it on my hyper gamer rom, i will se if i can get it working if edit the rom or something, if not kitkat is our only hope left.

Just because the game engine is the same, and MC4 ran on the Xplay doesn't mean that MC5 will. They've added a bunch of shader and lighting effects that are intended to push the barrier on modern hardware. It would be a wast of time trying to get this game to run on the Xperia Play, even if it didn't crash it would be a slideshow.

And there are no settings for lowering graphics? Asphlat 8 and Gangstar Vegas both of them look impressive on max, but on Xplay run only on very low.

It has a graphics slider that you can set to optimal or better performance.
