I was thinking about checking this emulator out to finally (maybe) play FF7. However, when I looked at it in the market, there were a lot of complaints about it not being updated anymore, and some performance/playability issues? Has anyone recently tried it on recently released phones (I have a stock DroidX)?
plays great on my incredible
There are many problems with the emulator. It will only run SOME games okay. The games it runs just seem to be random.
FF7 will work just fine... seems to be an easy game to emulator. However, another simple game like Castlevania: Symphony of the Night is unplayable.
Most games are probably unplayable if you like sound. The sound is so bad on most games that you have to mute it.
The list of games that work perfectly is probably under 20... and most of those are games you don't care about
The emulator is no longer supported by the developer. He even made a comment on twitter saying "what needs to be updated?"
The emulator ignores the phones GPU and only runs off of the CPU... so faster phones don't get any performance gain. It also needs a ton of compatibility fixes, as there are so many games that just do not work.
With that being said, if the only game you want to play is FF7, you're in luck! Is it worth the money? Not if you ask me.....
Is there another PS emulator that is better supported, and works with more games?

there is a program on the pc called Bluestacks-it;s an emulator that lets you play Android apps on a PC ussing your PC's hardware.
uhm guys... you know that he wants to see his smartphone/tablet screen on his pc screen with (maybe) 30 fps to play games on a bigger screen?!
And Bluestacks is not made for gaming. it is just an emulator. and you need a really good gaming pc if you want to run all apps/games smoothly

Doperoms.com has pretty much any n64 rom I've looked for. Tested mario kart 64, 1080 snowboarding, goldeneye, tony hawk's pro skater, super smash bros, and turok , and I can confirm they all work on mupen64 on nexus player.
I recommend sideloading dolphin browser, then going to doperoms.com within dolphinbrowser on the NP to download the roms directly into the download folder. Also, no need to unzip the zip file. Mupen64 opens the zip files fine.
@inwisso thanks for sharing, just bought your app, havent tried it yet, using my free $20 for emulator roms and apps exclusively for nexus player

one drawback is you cant connect a N64 controller to it using the usb adapter. on the fire tv this adapter with the n64 controller worked fine.
Thx

I think if you get an OTG cable USB to Micro USB it should work

Is it possible to get Mupen 64 to work with the nexus game controller pads? I tried it, but so far am unable to get a start button, nor can I figure out a way to map buttons.
Any help appreciated!
EDIT: nevermind, got it sorted, for some reason when I first went to controller settings, mappings wouldn't show. However I happened to use the back button and they showed, and I was able to map the start button.

Thanks for actually replying with an answer. I know I can do a Google search. But and it's nice to know a source that somebody has already used and works well for them. . Now with that being said I am a fan of let me Google that for you. Actually learned about that on one of these forms. Thanks again for taking the time to provide an answer.
Good video. Left a comment on the video on YouTube. But just to simplify things for others if you use the nyko playpad controller you have the mouse function built in and won't need a separate mouse or adapter.

I had another OTG cable that i used and the nexus player read the n64 usb adapter just fine. that was the last thing holding me back from completely switching to the nexus player from the fire tv

Can you explain how you did this? When I go to the controller mappings screen, I can press buttons and see what they correspond to on screen, but I cannot map anything (or simply don't know how to). What's your trick?

Try other ROMs and make sure you have good one, you can also using the same one I used... I used this emulator for months and never had any problem with any ROM.
So whast DS games are you playing on the NP. Since the majority of DS games uses the touch pad I cant imagine how to best emulate those on the NP.
I would love to play some of the zelda ones on the NP.
