I think that we should list some emulators (and details about them) that we have tested and found to be compatible/incompatible with the sensation, so that we don't waste time downloading and troubleshooting apps that don't work.
Here are a few that I found to be compatible/incompatible
FPSe-Somewhat Compatible (Tested with Ace Combat 3: Electrosphere, which plays well. Armored Core will go to the menu, but will not load into a game)
N64oid-Compatible (Tested with Goldeneye 007 and Ocarina Of Time, both of which ran perfectly)
GameBoid-Compatible (tested with MegaMan and Pokemon Fire red, both of which ran perfectly)
PSX4Droid-Incompatible (when a ROM is selected, it will go to a black screen, but the ROM will not load)
Ataroid, Gameboid, Gearoid, Gensoid, N64oid, Nesoid, Snesoid, FPse, Frodo C64, ScummVM, psx4droid v2 - all compatible and work great.
Only psx4droid v3 doesn't seem to work whereas v2 works. However psx4droid runs significantly worse than FPse (at least for me and with the games I play) so I don't see a reason for using it
ScummVM ist just awesome. Spent the last couple of days playing through Monkey Island 1, 2 and 3
I tried N64oid to play Goldeneye but it would not go pass the intro. sound would skip and just stop playing and dump me back to the rom list.
perhaps I just got a bunk rom since it's working on yours... or maybe something wrong with my copy of N64oid...
Yes Goldeneye is working pretty well, check your ROM here
Nesoid is the only one that refused working for me, Kupfel could you tell me whay version you are using??
what version of N64oid are you guys running?
I'm running v1.1.4 and I just tried GoldenEye rom from 3 different places and all three does the same thing... just freezes at the intro and kicks me back to rom list.
thanks.
Same N64oid version, but Goldeneye has always been working for me, it was already working with N64oid first release. You must have gotten 3 corrupted iso
N64oid - goldeneye works ok, slight lag but more Importantly I find it extremely difficult to play using touch screen controls. The mariokart and Mario world both work perfectly.
Sent from my nokia 3210
as for Goldeneye, don't let it play the very first video, press start to start the game or it may stop working during the video.
I asked the dev (through one of his testers) if it could be possible to have the other landscape available, thus having the volumes buttons at the top of the Sensation, not at the bottom, like a shoulder R1/R2 button. Set it as Z trigger and Goldeneye becomes really playable, as well as every game where you have to shoot
EDIT: stupid from me, the reverse landscape is avaliable for Android 2.3, I haven't checked this option since I stopped playing on my HD2 froyo to the Sensation ^^

What problem do you have with nesoid? I have version 2.5.0 and played through Megaman 1,2,3 and Metroid without any problems whatsoever.
Did any of you guys try aDosBox or AnDOSBox yet? judging by the reviews it's running perfectly on much slower phones than the sensation
and yet any game I tried so far isn't even close to playable. Just really really really slow. 5 FPS or sth.
just tried NESoid v2.5 and it's working fine.
played me some ninja gaiden.
I've been playing the SNES trilogy version... NES version is so much superior.
better control layout, better soundtrack, harder game play, and overall feels snappier.
only bad thing is for some reason on the rom I got the opening scene is not included... guess I'm keeping the SNES version around just for that.
anyway, tried 1942 on it as well. works flawless.
I gave up on the N64oid. installed/uninstalled so many times... not to mention time spent hunting down roms, different versions of the N64oid apk.
only game I want from N64 was Golden Eye but can't even play the intro.
kinda ruins the experience.
so, it's off the list for now. thanks for the help and suggestions though.
anyway, for the person that is having problems with NESoid, try version 2.5 as the poster above me have suggested. it works really well.
p.s. since we are trying to compile a list, I can confirm FPSE works great for PSX(much better then PSX4Droid), and Snes9x EX works great for the Snes and is available free on the market.
so psx4roid isn't working..and i though i had a problem with my device xD
what good playstation emulators can you recommend?

Fpse of course, the best around, updated about every week since the release and highly compatible. And much more is to come!
Thanks for the 2 guys who told me for NESoid working version
N64oid will be updated with a completly new build and core, much more compatible games are to come, more speed too.
And don't waste time looking for N64oid builds since the official version is free on SlideMe (that's where the dev had to place it after all his great emus were deleted from the market by google...)
n64oid issues? i have not had a single problem, playing mario64, mario kart64, zelda OoT, rogue squadron, starfox64, blast corps and goldeneye at full speeds.
N64oid Ver. 1.1 only issue is minor lag during cutscenes, but most are skippable
Every time i try to download fpse, it says that is incompatible with sensation ?!?!?
Is there some special version that you guys are using, or i just need to google harder ?
how about you just frickin' buy it from the market?

fpse is still very much in the market and most definitely compatible with sensation:
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.emulator.fpse
all of yongzh's emus (all those *oid emus) can be found here for free:
http://slideme.org/applications?text=yongzh
(he uploaded then there himself after his apps were kicked from the market)
N64oid 2.0 has just been out, it's on sale on SlideMe market now!
I've just bought it, now Zelda Occarina of time is smooth with no frameskip at all (better to set it to 3 to be sure there won't be some short lags sometimes)
Nice!!
Don't smack me please! But any chance we will ever see ps2 emulators for sensation? Is this even possible?
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using XDA App
nah, PS2 isn't possible. That would require a much faster CPU
Not sure if this is old news, i knew the game was coming but i dont think gameloft officially announced XP optimization.
Game has promise even though it is a clone of GTA.

There's already a thread about this game
GTA Clone?
You can drive cars in this game?
btw does anyone have the link where SE lists the games available/coming soon?
This'll be awesome stuff since we don't have the Gangstar series on Xperia PLAY.
...potentially even more awesome than the possibility of getting Gangstar on SEXP!

It's got a black background with drop down menus for the game categories. That's what I remember of it
The game was released for Android devices now but i cant find a Xperia play version.

The play version is not out yet
But Gangstar: Miami Vindication looked better.
Gangster miami vindication looked better? Whats wrong with your eyes? 9mm is based on Unreal Engine. It look almost better than GTA San Andreas. Miany Vindication suckt and has grific worse than GTA3.
Miami Vindication was alright. I used to play it on my iPod.
...I liked the protagonist of West Coast Hustle better.

NOVA 2 says that as well but if you download it and run it it says its not compatible. The only Gameloft games that actually work on the play need to be downloaded direct from the http://wapstore.gameloft.com store.
9mm is xperiaplay optimized. I have downloaded it on Market. This game is awesome!!

I'm being sarcastic, but I really am skeptical after Order & Chaos came out compatible with Xperia PLAY... but only worked with touch controls.
So is it compatible with the hardware controls or not? Anyone tried it yet?
I just downloaded this from the market and I can confirm firstly it is epic and not like a Gameloft game at all, has polish!
Secondly yes it is fully optimized for xperia play, well with buying!

Just thought I would point out that the first ever neo geo pocket emulator has been released for android.
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.explusalpha.NgpEmu&feature=search_result
The guy who made it also has tonnes of other great emulators, I also preffer the UI of his compared to the oid series of emulators.
EDIT: and yes it works with the xperia play controls (not the touch pads though)
I'm assuming because its posted here that it works with the Xperia Play controls?

It says compatible, but yeah I don't know if they PLAY controls work. It doesn't make sense to have different versions (only Gameloft does that crap). I had them already anyway, but got Shadowgun.
NFS Hot Pursuit have controls on pad, but not touch stick, only arrows.
About Dead Space - don't know.

Dead Space uses the touchpad only and it works very well actually. If NFS works that means they don't have different versions which is good.
Dead Space controls don't work in my 2.3.4 stock

Why is that though? I remember tons of videos showing how awesome DS was on the XP. Why remove a feature instead of adding more?
Hi to all,
I recently downloaded a copy of Shadowgun to test before it became available on the Play Store for 49p.
The problem I am having is that the Play Store says I purchased the game and I can't get it to allow me to actually Buy the game (because of the copied version I had).
Please can somebody help me with this issue.
Thank you for your time.

Uninstall the copied game, try buy it later.
I have uninstalled it but, it keeps saying its purchased and will only give the option to install instead of buy.
Do you any other way I can get it to work?

I've just bought Dead Space for the Xperia Play from the Google Play store for 49p When I start the game up it says:
'This application is not authorized for use on your Android device'
Why??
How can I get it to work ?
yah i have a verizon play and when i bought nova 2 it doesn't work, i think it needs 2.3.4...jeez! and i can't get a refund for my 50 cent! gah
i didn't have any issue with dead space...
also does anyone know if osmos works with the touch pad?
i bought shadowgun, world of goo, nova 2, and dead space (didn't care for NFS) and i might buy osmos if it works with the play
shadowgun is very impressive though!

I don't think Osmos is Xperia Play optimized.
NOVA 2 is one of those Gameloft titles you have to buy from their WAP Shop to get Xperia Play controls. You're SOL.
The only Gameloft titles you can get from Google Play that support the controls are Modern Combat 3 and I think 9mm. Otherwise you have to go to their WAP Shop.
Osmos doesn't work with plays controls iv got it it's just touch screen greet game though :-D

Try uninstalling if you havent already, then go to your Applications/ manage apps and look for the market (Google Play) under the "All" tab and select clear cache & data, then go back into the market, with no shadowgun installed, and try to buy it again. IT should work then

Nope. I'm on stock.
It seems that the R800x is hosed with certain titles lately unless you have CyanogenMod installed. I had to buy games for my Kindle Fire just in order to use them on my R800x.
what the!?!?!?!? I just bought shadowgun last saturday!!!!

I'm on ICS and can't download it.
For those who can't download it I would still download it on a different phone just so you won't have to pay if they put a price on it again. Even if you don't want it on that phone just delete it.
I downloaded in my Tablet meanwhile wait to be able to install in Play
I swear they have something against Sony devices because it`s not compatible with my Sony Xperia Tablet Z neither.
What bugs me the most though is that it does work, there are alternate downloads around and they work great, but I want the official one that I paid for.

It's strange as I was able to download on my Z but the Play is still a no go. I currently play it on my S7300 which is spoofed as an SGS2.
The most curious thing is that the game has a controller support right for our Xplays, but in Play Store isn't compatible. There must be someone in Gameloft, who has no brain...

It is because how gameloft make games. To be compatible with lot of different phones they implement code for controls from previous games in early stage of development, but when make final product, they decide not be compatible with specific device because of hardware requirements.
They could make game downloadable from play store, but then they risk lot of 1 star comments like "zomg, game is soooooo laggy in my Xperia Play"
As far as I know Asphalt 7 was the last one that supports XP . And it crashes alot

I tried all variants of R800 about 3-4 weeks ago just to gamble with my $0.99 but not single one worked. I used Xperia X10 instead and it allowed me to download it, only to be disappointed with its bad frame rates but wowed by its lighting effects and car physics.
GL "started" leaving us. Tank Battle's compatible status ain't even a good news at all.
Nice
Xperia Z2
Even if it were compatible on the play store, the game is unplayable because of lag. Tested on gin2kk, lupus v12, 1.6ghz.
