N64 emulator?

I've heard there is a good one. Where is it and what is it called?

There was one but it was taken off the market. It was called n64oid. It was taken off due too bugs and complaints , Mario 64 and zelda ran smooth as the real thing for me

Yep, N64oid... He was taken off the market, but will come back, as stated by the creator of the app

I have it and it is working just fine for me, if you want unlimited free Apps then go to applanet.net on your phone and download it from there

In my opinion... Fpse is the best PSX emulator. It is much faster than psx4droid.

Here is the link for the n64 emulator and as for the Roms, I would recommend rom buddy.

Remember this is only compatible with Highend devices but if you want to try it on your phone then try it.

Yeah, I agree with you there. FPSe is way better than PSX4Droid or whatever it's called, but it's not as well known. But schtrucks, the creator, has been developing FPSeCE, the Windows Mobile version, for many years, and he just released FPSe, the android version recently, but it's already as good and advanced as the winmo version because he already knew what to optimize from the years of working on FPSeCE.

gahh tried this on my HD2 and it's lagging like crazy.
haha, what beast of a phone can actually play n64 games?

Many phones can - (the ones with 1Ghz+). It plays fine on phones like google nexus s and other 1Ghz+ phones.

Slightly laggy on a galaxy s. Playable, but you will hear the music skip frequently. I hardly notice any lag at OC 1.2ghz

I have had fairly good success running N64oid on a CM7 Nook Color OC'd to 1.2ghz. Can't give you a frame rate but Goldeneye, Starfox and Mario 64 all run smooth enough. (Sometimes it lags during cut scenes). I've also tried Perfect Dark and Rogue Squadron, but those won't even open on the newest version.
The Nook hardware is hardly latest generation. I would probably compare it to the original Droid.

I have a vibrant and it works flawlessly with no lag at all

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.

Pokemon Emulators

Hey any sound advice for getting pokemon games on my skyrocket? I'm researched it and it seems there are ways to get some older ones on, but I was wondering if the newer black/white era ones were available.
Thanks

No the black and white games are ds games. There aren't any ds emulators that I know of. I play leafgreen and emerald and they play great on a gba emulator.

Idk if emulator and or roms are allowed to be discussed here but their is a DS emulator thats in demo stages i believe.

There is nothing wrong with emulating games and talking about them in these forums. One thing that should not be allowed is uploading the games or giving links to download them. They should be backups of the games you own.

What he said. NDS emulators on phones are still a ways off. I believe the major problem would be simulating two screens at once. But there are other emulators that let you play Pokemon games from GBA and GBC. Personally I think GameBoid and GBCoid are the best. They are very fluid when playing games and I rarely ever have issues with them. I actually just finished a run of Pokemon Yellow the other day. Lots of great memories.

It can be done, it just probably wouldn't look very good or wouldn't be very easy to program that in. But some PCs have issues running DS games. They typically require good CPUs.

I have a Intel Core i5. DS games run fine on it, they make my fans go off like crazy though, just saying.
They did start a DS Android port, but our devices are pretty slow for it. It's not like running a Gameloft game which is optimized.

The Bell released version of this phone has not got its update to ICS and I am encounteringa problem where on any of the "oid" family of emulators where the A and B buttons overlap on the transparency layer. In short, pushing either button counts as pushing both. Rendering the emulator useless. Is anyone able to confirm if the SkyRocket had the issue pre-ICS update?

I am running emulators on stock gb from my skyrocket without any issues. I use slideme market to get the really good emulators from Yongzh. They are all free but don't think they have been updated since google pulled them from the market/play store.

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.

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.

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.
