I know up front that I'm probably going to get some 'you're a super noob' responses on this, but just entertain me. Deus Ex 1 is probably my favorite game of all time, and I know you can emulate other games (I have Zelda Ocarina of Time on a N 64 emulator), but has anyone tried to emulate PC games from around the 1999/2000 era? If you can't, is it a hardware limitation, or has no one just written any emulators for PC games with mobile OSs in mind? Call me a wishful thinker, but I just want to know if it would be possible and sorry for asking such a silly question. Also, no I didn't get my phone to play games, this idea just popped into my head. Thanks.
I would love to see this happen

I wouldn't ever imagine there to be a PC emulator. Consoles just play a game from disk so emulation is simple. PC games install and we don't have a window registry environment here.

Wine is able to run Deus Ex in Linux distributions, and Android runs the Linux kernel. There was talk of bringing Wine to android about a year ago but nothing seems to have materialized.
That said, Deus Ex is available on OnLive, so you could always go that route. Or use Kainy.
I think we're years off a successful wine implementation. That's not the only challenge either. What about controls?

There is a game from 1998 which is being ported to android - Half life. It runs on a custom build of GoldSRC engine called Xash3D.

Thats right, and thers also possible to run games like Diablo 2 or Heroes 3 on droid device, so why not DX1? It would be awesome.
Original DeusEx on Android
Original Half-Life port has been Successfully Implemented on the Android Platform as of this Current Writing! I already have it Running on my Nexus7 Tablet.
Now Speaking of Tablets, I now have Shield K1 Tablet from Amazon ($199) which is Pretty Good. I was thinking about playing with a Bluetooth Keyboard - Either Physical, or Virtually like a Phone. That would leave the Screen Clutter Free so you could enjoy the Games Visuals. If Half-Life 1 is possible, Certainly Original or Even the New Revision Mod for The Game Should be Feasible. What do you think? I use my phone for Lots of Stuff these days, why not with a Virtual Keyboard via Bluetooth like BluezIME? That Would be GREAT!!!:laugh:
Actually, if you'df like to play particularly 1998 full version of Deus Ex PC game as is on your Android mobile device, there is a simple way. Use ExaGear Strategies app and this instruction to set up and play this title - https://eltechs.com/deus-ex-pc-game-on-android/

does any one on here remember the game Chips Challange??? if not i have posted a copy of the game is there any way that some one can tell me how i can get it on my phone to play...
Of course I remember it
But, it's a very old game now (was originally made for Windows 3.1), and also, normal Windows apps don't work on Windows Mobile. Unless someone makes a clone of it for Windows Mobile, you won't be able to get it on your phone
Good idea, for any game developers reading this.
i love that damn game and it always seems like it changes everytime i play it
had it on the atari lynx, think it was the game that came with it, quality tho!
Heya, does anybody know if there is an emulator or something that allows you to play iphone apps on the touch pro? Or if there is any similar physics games to it.
//Benmuskler
no of course not
but heres a physics game
http://www.fuzemobility.com/numpty-physics-ported/#comments
the iphone use the same type of cpu as wm phones but another os
emulating them would be like emulating mac programs on a pc
you can kinda do it using wmware an an intel mac os disc
but it's 1000 times slower then you'd like
same would hold true for emulating iphone programs
which is why nobody have botheted spending the many man months trying
to make it work
in which case fancy stuff like physics and such would never be likely to be included
Hello all !
I'm new on Microsoft Surface with Windows RT, and this tablet is very good !
I search just an emulator for play resident evil. It's possible ?
Thank you a lot.
No PS emulator yet. I'm sure it will come in time.
im looking forward to dosbox and stuff like that... this device would be cool for playing f.e. Fallout
There is a SNES emulator so I'm sure a PS1 emulator will come soon

Psone will probably not come to windows RT in playable speed,
Windows rt is can not reserve executable memory pages with virtualalloc which is needed for the dynarec that psx emulators use to get playable speed. Interpretation will most likely be too slow
Thank you very much.
I love PSone Game, i must be patient =)
Technically, I'm sure you *can* do virtualalloc (it's used by many things, including IE); it's just not available through the WinRT APIs. That means any app using it would have to use homebrew hacks, either being a non-Metro EXE or using hacks to access the relevant system call without going through the usual API layer.
Hello xda staff i want to know if i can run windows xp/7 games on android
btw ive looked up the net a bit and here what i got
i was searching for running windows xp games on android
first ive came things like ue ur pc as a server (teamwiever kinda) but that requires a waste of energy
and doesnt runs as smooth as we want
then ive looked up a bit more and ive found windows emutors for android [http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1465365]
but for me and general gamers we dont want to get other windows stuff we want to play games only
+ this method was still not smooth
than ive came up with an app that enables you to run windws 95 apps on android but still not xp [http://www.winulator.com]
than since we know android uses linux ive looked same thing for linux and ive came up with [http://www.winehq.org]
than i looked a version of vinehq on android and ive came up with this
[http://forum.winehq.org/viewtopic.php?t=8230]
than i found a guy that made it (on xda)

No android cant run these games and it wont be able to do this in a couple of years. Today's hardware is too weak to emulate games made for x86 CPU's. It is possible to port these games to android but it means completely rewriting these games so it will never happen.
At this point in time I know of two apps that may help you, so long as you have a gaming PC capable of running whatever it is you want to run:
Kainy
Splashtop Gamepad THD (Tegra 3 devices only)
I haven't used either of them, so I can't attest as to how well they work or their worth. Neither run the games directly on your device, but streaming is where some believe the mobile gaming industry is headed (including Nvidia with their recently announced Project Shield).
i start learn java .. and planning to move to android
my java so weak until now
i just want to know the way to build my first app about ps1 emulator
so can i use app inventor for that or basic4android
or noway .. i have to use eclipse
Sorry for my English
Step one, install EPSXE. Step 2, load rom.
Sadly, while I don't doubt a better PS1 EMU might be possible, it won't have the years of bug work and trust EPSXE will on PC or Android so it's just not worth it to make a PS1, N64 or any Emulator for systems older than that because top notch EMU's already exist and the rest are just waiting for hardware to catch up before they are viable but there is already a DreamCast, PSP and PS2 emulator that still are being held back by current hardware limitations.
Sadly, there just isn't a need for any emulator and if you have the skill you'd honestly be better off joining one of the teams for an existing emulator to get the experience than trying to start a project like this on your own.
Not trying to shatter your dreams but there just isn't a need for another PS1 emulator that will be riddled with bug's and take you years to get to even half the status of EPSXE.
