[Q] Crombikk latest, fast games issue - Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello! I've installed the latest release of crombikk and it's wonderful! I've only a problem, some 2d games (don't touch the white tile an ball beating) runs very very fast (i guess about 3 time faster than normal, they're unplayable!) while others (flappy bird, geometry dash) runs normally. They appear just like movies in fast forward mode! What cause this and what should i do to solve this? thanks in advance!
This is my configuration: Crombikk current, that kernel v10, f2fs internal partitions, no rom2sd.

I can't find an app called ball beating, and there about 10 different versions it seems of don't tap the white tile. I tested a 2D one and it seems to play just fine. Perhaps you could be a little more specific as to what games are causing you problems?

Sorry for vagueness (and errors )! One game is "super ball batting" by hu wen zeng, the other is "don't tap the white tile" by the same autor. Thank you so much for your support!

I removed the fps limit from balanced and performance modes. If the games determine their speed from the fps that is a poor programming decision.
What happens if you run them in power saving mode?

Yep, i've been thinking that it would have been a kind of poor programming issue, because all other games works just fine! And the ones that has given me problems are made by the same author! Running them in power saving mode did the trick, thank you so much! However, i was wandering, Is there any way to turn on fps limit on balanced mode?

Not without editing the the ramdisk in the kernel But the point is you should be asking the author of the games to fix his crappy coding. Why should I limit the fps of my rom for some poorly programmed games which will then make other games run slowly....? :angel: :cyclops:
I never touched the fps of power saving mode so just use that for now

Play Games with GSen Now (Need for Speed, Xtrakt)

In case you missed it, with GPad you can now get games to play with the accelerometer. Xtrakt is enabled by default: http://www.fuzemobility.com/play-xtrakt-and-other-games-with-the-gsen/
And just change the config file to get other games like Need For Speed enabled: http://www.fuzemobility.com/need-for-speed-gsen-enabled-now/
Sweet! Thanks
Awesome, thanks for the heads-up!
A few more games added Pacman and Age of Empires:
(this version of pacman:http://www.fuzemobility.com/gotw-1-pac-man-for-your-ppc/)
it goes under 'tilt' in the config:

thnx alot, i purchased NFS last month figuring SOMEONE was gonna finally get this accelerometer under control.
Although i have to mess w/ config the default settings keep putting on the brakes if you dont hold it flat.
THANKS!!!
pacman running great too!
just wanted to add, ive been messing with gcontroller and the other popular one to no end. They just dont work right. (all the time) This one right out of the box was excellent. Will try to report anything i find as far as settings - etc.
If you set 'center' on any game to '90' that's the angle at which you hold the phone naturally when the phone is in your hand...like a 30 degree angle. It sounds like it will work better that way but I think it's harder to recall he plane the phone is on between the angles...maybe if I stretch the thresholds to larger numbers (so it goes very far down to be down, etc) it would help - otherwise small angles lead to tilting and you really need to remember what 'flat' is.
I'll keep playing

[Q] FPSE & Final Fantasy IX

Hi everyone!
I use FPSE 0.10.45 to play Final Fantasy IX (PAL - Italian) on my X10 (Android 2.1) and work very good!
Over 50 FPS everytime, except when there are the fights with the monsters!!!
FPSE work around 30 FPS, very slow...
If I setup the frame "up to 50", work around 50/60 FPS, perfect! But the statistic and the menu for fight (attack, magic, object, ...) disappear (become invisible)...
There is a solution?
Thanks to all!
Greets
Same problem here. And my framelimiter always seems to unset itself sometimes without reason. I think fpse works fine without frameskip in custom kernel.

I use Psx4droid v2
I prefer it much better than psxe
im not playing FFIX
but FFVIII (the best one )
I'm getting constant 60fps even with the transition effects from world map to battles or anything like that
supeerrr smooth
I don't have sound though, because with 32fps cap, its jumpy
hope that helps!
Easiest workaround is to bind square to your snapshot hardware button and keep it down during battles whenever not using the menus, this will hide the menu and bring your fps back to 50+
Otherwise the custom kernel or build prop line removing fps cap may do the trick, tell us how it goes if you try that!

I don't understand... You can tell me how I have to do this? Thank you very much!
You can edit your build.prop to remove the 32fps cap on your x10 (use root explorer)
more details in this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1082692
this will greatly enhance FPse's performances - tried this this afternoon, works great on FF7, 8 ( about as close to the original game as you'll get with an emulator ), on FF9 with no sharp overlay drawings, no frameskip nor slowdown emulation or enhanced 3D rendering, you'll get about 53~ fps in battle with menu displayed, not perfect but still very playable.
I have yet to try with the new kernel but not being an expert on the subject I am not ready to do that just yet.
Hope this helps,
Cheers
Fantastic!
You're my Idol!!! eheh
I edited my "build.prop" and now work around 55/60 FPS in battle!!
The quality is more low, but it's not impotant!
Thank you very much!
If you have another suggestion, I will grateful if you can tell me!
ps.: Sorry my bad english!! I speak italian! eheheh
That's all I have for now, glad I could help!
With the new FPse v.0.10.49 the problem should be fixed!
With FPS up to 50 the menu don't disappear...
ps.: I still have the build.prob edited!
Oops, I'm sorry, I forgot to mention I was on the custom ROM 2.2!
So that's was why XD

Gta3.setr is the same on all devices . You can use it on your nexus.
If you use gta3.set with high resolution enabled then the button are smaller.
You can edit size of buttons in settings. My buttons are smaller too after reset to default.

Not bad.. gave it a go on my transformer and just got 19xx to play. When creating the cache images of any other game like mvc, I kept on getting error messages, something about crc and CPU1 (sorry, I forgot exactly what the message said, but I will check later). The roms are ok as I know for a fact that they work.
One other thing is that I couldn't change directory and the device did not look on my SD card to see if the roms were there or not.
That said, 19xx plays butter smooth, although the on screen controls could be better (ie the cross pad a bit larger as it is very easy to run your fingers out of it). I still have to try with my TF keyboard though.
Good job otherwise. I will test on my EVO 3d and report back.
Are you really going to make the GUI for NeoDroid white?
I know this is minor, but I much prefer the black. Perhaps an option?
Also have you considered using the menu button to open a menu with settings, email, exit, rather the the icons at the top?
For devices with a small screen and lots of roms, every bit of screen space helps.
In any case good work with these projects.
:edit:
I realize this is verison 1.0 and you probably have changes and additions in mind already.
A couple other things I noticed, in Marvel vs Capcom the lower buttons are punches and the uppers are kicks.
And the option to disable sound would be nice.
:edit 2:
I'm having a little trouble mapping hardware buttons. When I press up dpad (on a ps3 controller mapped to the phone's hardware dpad) for the first key, the clear button turns blue (highlighted) and it doesnt map the keypress and move on to the next one. In neodroid the mapping works fine
Works great with the games that are compatible, hope to see more games added in the future and the on screen pad is a bit small would be so much easier if it was enlarged a little bit, but that is my only complaint. This emulator is silky smooth and it's so awesome to bust out STF3 and it play flawlessly!

Will purchase full donate version. no doubt.
Will this emulator be able to play CPS1 games?
All the best.

but rununig slow on my xperia play .
What games are you running that are slow?
Every rom i've played has been silky smooth.
It's the fastest Emulator that i've tried on my XPlay.

- You are probably trying to run a "clone" rom, which need the "parent" rom. Look in the "Compatibility" tab (search button), if there is a line with "parent:xx.zip" then you also need "xx.zip" to run your rom.
- You can just use the "back" button of you device to browse to your roms directory, each time you launch a rom this path will be saved as default rom directory.

- Unfortunatly, google now ask developper to not use the "menu" button anymore, so i add to find another way: the menu bar.
- w00t, i see why this is happening for the buttons mapping, i will investigate in this problem and release a fix soon (in a few days)

For now the emulator need to use cached graphics on your device, so it need to read this cache file a lot during emulation. I had no slowdown on my xperia, but i use a 8GB sdcard. I guess your sdcard is a small one or a slow one.

W00t, i did forget to include that (it was planned!), i'll add that for the next release.
Excellent first release so far, looking very forward to making this my go-to CPS emu. Few things i'd like to point out from someone whos been using emulators on android for years. My config is a Touchpad running CM9 @ stock 1.2ghz dual core.
Sound is off. You can tell immediately from the insert coin sound in SSF2T and Vampire Savior, they do not sound accurate.
Games feel laggy. At first when i tried SSF2T, it was incredibly laggy, but then i found how to disable the filter and it was smooth after that, but still had a weird lag to it. The addition of a FPS counter would be excellent to see whats going on.
No support for players 2-4 to be configured in hardware buttons. I have 4 wii remotes + 4 classic controllers + 2 TVC Wii arcade sticks, so i have the ability to get 4-player arcade games going ontop of full 2-player fighter games with full arcade sticks, which i use with Mame4Droid often. Would be a great addition.
Emu runs in compatibility mode in Android 4.0. Instead of the menu button being natively working, it scales everything to fit the screen. It still looks great, but native 3.0+ support would be great.
Otherwise this is a great emu and i am enjoying it quite a bit. I would also love for CPS1 to be emulated at some point as well, to get all 3 major emus (CPS1/2/MVS) done by the same author would be awesome to have everything uniform.
Excellent work and keep it up.
quepaso: your maybe running roms from on a slow sdcard/memory ?
Version 1.1 uploaded with a few/fast fix, i'll work on all other request soon

The touchpad just has 32 gig of internal storage which is quite fast, no SD card of any kind. Ill update to 1.1!
Edit -
Updated to 1.1, and indeed it is now running natively in 3.0+, no more compatibility mode. Now however, i am running everything non-stretched, and the top bar ontop (touchpad is 4:3 res so gets mostly full screen for CPS2, full screen for console emus like snes/nes) is black and the bar below is grey. I thought something got weird so i switched from stretched, scaled and native, and noticed the background goes from black to grey now, previously on 1.0 it was all black. Due to this, it looked like 2 incorrect levels were displayed on top/bottom when it likely is just a bitmap change to the background causing it.
Otherwise, i think the games are running properly, but the sound being so wrong is making me think it is not running 60fps. Great work so far.

Great! Thank you for the answer. I will install 1.1 and I will let you know how it goes.
Edit: ok, I installed 1.1 on my TF and you were somewhat right about the roms.... ironically, the ones that do run are the US clones. I actually have the (EUR) versions (full roms) and they spit out the error I told you earlier, but once I got the US clone file and ran that, it was good....
I think I may have found a bug. The key assignment....
I assigned hardware keys from my TF keyboard and only the Start, Coin, and dpad are being saved. None of the other 6 buttons get saved for some reason. I did it a few times over, turning off the program, etc and still nothing. I did notice that one of the changes you made included a tweak on this, so I am wondering if maybe something else got lost with the fix.
Looking better and MvsC runs like a champ!

Surface Pro for Gaming - What have you installed? Issues?

I posted this response to another thread, but thought this deserved it's own thread:
I just installed Guild Wars 2 on mine. This is a VERY viable gaming rig!!
Only issue I found was that when you have a menu up (press esc) and use the mouse to click on it, it does not register the mouse click. Also, you have to use keyboard controls to select another character other then your last played (if you want too) and hit enter to play, clicking the Play button does not register the mouse. Seems more like a calibration issue with the game and the mouse (this is using hardware mouse FYI).
I installed and played Path of Exile as well. Needed a little bit more tweaking of the graphics settings, but over all did REALLY well.
Now, the mouse/touch issue. It has to do with Scaling. By default, the scaling is set to 150%, you need to set it to 100%. Having it at 100% will fix your gaming issues, but will make the desktop ALMOST unusable because of the size of the text. 1920x1080 on that small of a screen, text tends to be VERY small.
So, best thing to do if you want to game and have issues where you need to adjust the scaling, be prepared to tweak it.
To tweak the Scaling:
In desktop, right click on the screen, go to Personalize, Display. It is the percentage at the top. It should have "Larger 150%" selected, choose 100%. You will have to log out to apply.

I posted this response to another thread, but thought this deserved it's own thread:
I just installed Guild Wars 2 on mine. This is a VERY viable gaming rig!!
Only issue I found was that when you have a menu up (press esc) and use the mouse to click on it, it does not register the mouse click. Also, you have to use keyboard controls to select another character other then your last played (if you want too) and hit enter to play, clicking the Play button does not register the mouse. Seems more like a calibration issue with the game and the mouse (this is using hardware mouse FYI).

Have downloaded steam and played Far Cry 3 and Team Fortress 2. Its really smooth! Downside is that it takes a lot of memory ): I'm using a type cover since touch cover is a little bit hard to get used too. I recommend getting a external drive for those big games.

I downloaded Warcraft 3 and skyrim.. WC runs everything on max and 1080 with no problem. Skyrim runs at 768p everything turned down fairly well, would say 40 fps+.
As for old times sake I'm going to install anarchy online within the next day or so, which won't tax the system at all.
Btw I scored 7288 on geek bench!
world of warcraft, diablo 3, path of exile, starcraft 2 and eve online running no problem but ofcourse i have to remove one of each coz they wont fit
Has anyone recorded and frame rates for minecraft at various settings? Would certainly trump the iOS and android guys with their little pocket edition.
As for no storage. MicroSD or an external hard drive.
Too bad it gets really hot sometimes :S
I have the following running: League of Legends, Starcraft 2, Diablo 3, Team Fortress 2, DOTA 2.
I hated the scaling, so I am sitting at 100% scaling and I don't mind the small icons and whatnot, but almost every app (not metro) has ability to zoom so np for me there.
Don't bother with changing the desktop scaling to 100% if you don't want to. Just right click on the shortcut, go to compatibility, and check "disable display scaling on high DPI settings" for each game that you need 100% scaling for.
Anyone try Halo?

What, the original one? It'll completely crush that.

I would imagine halo combat evolved would be absolutely fine. Someone reported that both skyrim and CoD black ops 2 also run if you play with the settings. Based on that they both require much more powerful hardware than halo 2 I would imagine that halo 2 is also fine.

I just installed WoW on my Pro and it ran fine. Had the settings set to low, I will probably up the setttings to see where the upper limit is. It booted up fast even from the external that I was using. The Pro is no slouch
hey guys, I just got the Pro, and have downloaded the Original Farcry, Left 4 dead 2 and just now installing bioshock... the original farcry and L4D2 plays GREAT!! even with some at max settings! I bought a 64GB Micro SD card and have installed Steam on there which allows me to install about 5-6 more games. I'm so excited! Oh yea, if u wanna know how to install steam on a micro SD card, you gotta follow the tutorial from the link below

I have Halo Combat Evolved running although the game gave the warning that the system was not up to spec. But it plays fine. I am having trouble with COD World at War. I guess I need to tweak some more.
I have Portal 2, CS:GO, Arma2/DayZ, Civ 5, Uplink, SpaceChem, Minecraft and FF7 installed. All work, most work very well, but Arma2 has some issues with resolution.
I have Call of Duty World at War working. The problem was my sound setting. I saw this over at Steam:
-control panel
-sound device manager
-highlight "speakers"
-click "properties"
-On the "advanced" tab set "24 bit, 44100 Hz"
COD would quit on the load. The above change fixed it. Wow the small things make a difference some times.
how about freelancer? i'm pretty sure that'll work great. i just gotta make an iso... i wonder if i'd need a no-cd patch. that's the worst part of playing some old games is that they required a cd for protection. guess i could whoop out old daemon tools.
Just make an ISO image of the disc. Win8 supports ISO mounting, built in (finally!)
I got StarCraft, StarCraft II, Diablo, Diablo II, Diablo III all working. StarCraft and Diablo don't play nice with the PEN and needed some registry tweaking to get the colors right but otherwise work fine.
- Serious Sam 3: BFE in a mix of Low/Medium settings, was pretty smooth.
- Left 4 Dead 2, low settings, was playable
- Diablo III, smooth
All with external mouse and keyboard.
