Playing PC games on Android without owning a PC - Android Apps and Games

So,
Firstly I don't know where to post this because there is no section for mobile phone gaming which is a bit weird. I hope it gets moves to the right section by the admin.
Secondly, I found an amazing app that you can use to play PC games on Android without even owning a PC. I played games like fortnite and GTA v easily with on screen controls and sometimes with a controller. It is very good and you feel like you have a console in your hands stronger than ps vita.
Here is the video of how to do it
mod edit
Give it a try and let me know what you think. I have tried it on note 8 and it is super smooth.

According to your description,I think it sounds like clound games.
As far as I know there is a app,it's gloud games.
You can get it in under url.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=cn.gloud.client.en
It's need high speed network.And these servers only in China.
So if you aren't in China,you need a vpn.

[Q]PSX4DROID running gta 2

Well, i got hold onto that app which enables you to run Playstation games onto your android. I was very pleased when i ran gta 2 and was quite excited as well but then i noticed that my guy wasn't showing up and even the cars, except the texture, the objects were invisible although i could hear sounds.
Did anyone try to run that game? if so please let me know
Also i'll try making a new thread in which i'll post the link to the free download of PSX4DROID (which i'll upload) and then we can tryout games and check which games work on which system and what does it lack if that game doesn't work on that specific phone.

Why not just go to the wiki and update psx4droid info there

Remote Play from PC,Gamecube,PS2...etc to android?

Hello, I've been looking for a way to do this for months but haven't had any success, so I decided to finally post my question here.
The PSP has a homebrew app called PSPdisp , that could remote to a PC in real-time, lag free. http://www.jjs.at/software/pspdisp.html
Is there any way to get something like this in android where we can view and control our games from the EVO without lag or stutter? I'm sure we have the speeds to do it Evo's 4G speeds are about 8Mbps on average (in my area), and my home connection is 16Mbps
This would be great for playing emus not available or not capable of running on android.
I don't know how hard this is to accomplish, looks like a very fast vnc server to me.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Q1b1iNgl8M
Not exactly mobile cloud gaming, even though we aren't too far from that either (see Onlive)
Something more like StreamMyGame, I want to have my PC running a emu, lets say dolphin running Legend of Zelda WindWaker, while VNC'ing (if thats a word) to it over the great interntz to the SuperSonic or Xoom. You know it just streaming video to me and me sending it commands with every button press.
Heres a vid on some of its features http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XZd3h...layer_embedded
I'd even be willing to commission or "donate" to someone to port the homebrew app to android if its allowed on these forums. The source is available.
Glad you took my advice and posted this in here buddy. I'm bumping this for you since I'm interested as well.
~ d3rk
I doubt if lag free mobile streaming will be produced within the near future
Am using Teamviewer for other stuff though and that piece of dontmakemesayit is the most stable one I've found. Lags like hell and sometimes there is like 5-10 second delays before the screen updates, but at least it doesn't crash or lose connection completely
Yes, I have tried just about every Remote Desktoping tool in the market I can think of, but none are fast enough, I think the psp homebrew works because the dev made a video card driver that mirrors/clones the screen to the psp.
...I hope some great dev answers this call...
I'm looking for this too. PSPDisp is really great. I hope something similar like PSPDisp go to our android. Playing PC Games or other consoles emulator(Dreamcast, PS2, Gamecube) on android sounds fun
I just wish they made a ps2 emu for android. I just want to run vns on it so I really do not need a lot of power...

Mame4droid - New MAME emulator on the market

Haven't tried it yet, but grab it quick... emulates 0.37b5 ROM list. Yes, it supports Xperia Play buttons.
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.seleuco.mame4all&feature=search_result
Project page: http://code.google.com/p/imame4all/
Nice find. Testing romset now
I prefer this to jrioni, it has a better user interface.
Games run at good speed, just as good as jrioni, and I find the sound better in this.
Still no save states that I can see though.
Posting for tiger kings emulator to own them all. Mame needs save states to be functional imho. I play for 5 minutes at a time at work and can't progress in games without save states.
The good thing about this emulator is that it saves all your high scores. with Jromi you have to manually save and load your high scores.
My Metal Slugs and CPS2 games dont seem to work though.

They are *arcade* games. They're only meant to be played for 5 minutes at a time. Only purpose for savestates is if you are cheating your way through a game with infinite quarters.

Totally disagree with this.
Some games take 30+ minutes to beat and complete. Some are even longer taking 1 hour+ to beat.
You forget that this is a mobile device. Which means you are playing games on the move.
People playing on trains, aeorplanes, cars, 10 minute work breaks, sitting at the bus stop, sitting on the toilet (yea i do this ), etc etc etc
You want to continue your game, but at a later date.

This sentence makes zero sense if you sit to think about it.
"Infinite Quarters" are there whether you have save states or not
Completing metal slugs, alien vs predator, final fight, street fighter, strider, rampage, ghould n ghosts, heck LOADS of games take ALOT longer than 5 minutes.
If you played ghould n ghosts for 5 minutes at a time, you would forever be playing the first level.
What is the point in that?
Yes, it is inconclusive, save states ARE needed.
However i have some unfortunate news, MAME4ALL will NEVER have save states, since it is based on a version of MAME that doesnt have them either.
Our only hope is to see what magic Tiger King can produce.
Anyway, no disrespect to Jrioni, i was one of the people that loved and bought his version of Mame.
I support him ALL the way.
But this version of Mame i prefer, the UI is superior to Jrioni. And since it is free, there is no need to purchase Jrioni anymore.
Anyone who wants to play Mame games, this is now the best version.
Glad I held off from buying Jrioni now. Was waiting for save states.
This seems better, though without save states as well.
...and to say Save States are not needed on a mobile device is well...I'm not going to get into it again...but its pretty stupid.

does Mame4droid support dip switches?
reason why i ask its pointless playing mame games for me on medium setting, i like to crank the difficulty up on games, otherwise no challenge !

No it doesnt.
Which is quite annoying because i cant change the analog sensitivity for games like Paperboy, which is unplayable on Mame4Droid because he steers to the left all the time.
Jrioni's graphics seem to be a bit better too. Mame4droid is a bit blockier.
Sound and speed works best on Mame4Droid though. And Mame4Droid is far more user friendly in setting up screen sizes etc.
mame4droid support dip switches u can enable it during in games by pressing select+start at the same time will bring up the menu, only the bad side is the graphic blockier but enable smooth graphic the games lag if it can fixed this then this is the best emu u can get for play.
Does the APP comes with roms or do you have to download them if so from where?! does the app run well on the sony play?

Yes!
Dip switches work.
This is hands down the best Mame emulator for Android. The only thing that can top this is save states or support for newer ROM sets.
Guy above. Don't ask for roms here. They are easily findable with any search engine.
for the roms to work with this Emulator what file type do the roms need to be?
It tells you on the market download page

I must be doing something wrong because even though sound is a bit better than Jrioni's, this emus is much slower, almost unplayable. So I will stick to Jrioni.

What games are you seeing that are slower?
For instance Three Wonders, and Mortal Kombat 2 does not work. On a second attempt I uninstalled it and downloaded from Market and works fine now.
FYI Three Wonders works perfectly in Tiger Arcade 2.20
I'm trying to put this on my ATT Captivate and I can not get the games to show up on the program. I know that I have the right versions of the games. After installing the program, I checked the SD card to see if a ROMs folder was created. There wasn't any so I created a ROMs/Mame4all/roms folder which didn't help. I tried to move the program to the SD card, but I couldn't see the folder when I put the card in a reader. What am I doing wrong?
Never mind. It was on the phone. I was able to see the folder after plugging the phone directly into the computer.

Can we expect any AAA games for RT?

I was thinking along the lines of need for speed, call of duty, or if not even something like gamesoft, ie: asphalt, nova, etc...
All the games in the store are very childish
You're either using a lot of hyperbole or have a different definition of "very childish" than most people do, since there are some reasonably violent or otherwise serious / adult games in the store. However, with that said, there exist NFS games on WP7, so I would expect them to come to Windows Store (and hopefully Windows RT) as well. Don't count on something like Call of Duty, though; the Tegra 3 probably isn't powerful enough to run it worth a damn. Also, it would suck to try and play it via touch...
I feel that the casual games like jetpack joyride and fruit ninja and robotek do a reasonably good job of keeping you occupied on a touch device.The likes of call of duty would not be enjpyed much on a touch device.
Yea, but they could be enjoyed with a 360 controller or a keyboard and mouse.
i guess only time will tell. MS probably wants you to purchase a xbox for hardcore games. In all honesty I don't like playing games on touch devices. I think they are too simple and the controls can be annoying. Most video games lack depth.
For some reason games like Jetpack Joyride are loading real slow on my Surface. During play it seems like it's skipping frames too. Anyone else notice this?

Jetpack Joyride is terrible on windows in general, on my surface it skips frames a hell of a lot less than it does on my desktop
Used to. Last update fixed the slow down when Touching the screen in game. Fps is pretty much smooth now.
Sent from my Windows 8 device using Board Express

I am using the latest update, I get very limited slow down on the surface, even on the last update it is still very noticeable on my desktop though

Well MS is talking about an Xbox surface, so hopefully that will bring some joy to the more expensive surface devices.

So quick question. I know windows devices usually ship with the automatic updates checked on. How often does it update? Weekly? Does it automatically update when not in use or does it wait for you to reboot, like my computer? And does this include updating the apps or just the OS?
right, I mean definitely games like COD would not be good on a touch screen, but like someone said above, I would gladly buy a wired xbox controller if it meant I could play some higher end games. But yea, I guess time will tell, it's just unfortunate that no one is even claiming that they are working on anything. Atleast with WP8, gameloft announced a bunch of cool games and they are still atleast a month out, so i'm guessing we'll probably have to wait a while before anything big shows up for win RT
Surface RT updates weekly by default. It will not update while in Standby/Sleep mode, but will update in the background when turned on. Once the updates are installed, if a reboot is required, it will force one within three days (or you can do it before then).
By default, only high-priority OS (and possibly Firmware) updates will be installed. This probably includes "Recommended" ones, but will not include "Optional" updates. Updates to other Microsoft software on the device (like Office) might be automatic by default; I always enable the full Microsoft Update (instead of just Windows Update) and forget if I had to do this on the Surface or not.
Windows Store apps do *not* get updated through Windows Update, and will not update by default. To update them, use the Store app. Its live tile will tell you how many apps have pending updates.

I tend to take a little more control and manually check for updates on a daily basis, but windows 8 default setting is to reboot 2 days after
Gameloft Windows Phone Games
Anyone think that Gameloft will be porting the new games that they are planning on releasing for Windows Phone 8 (http://www.gameloft.com/download-games/community/) to Windows RT - I don't know much about porting games, apps, etc...but from what I read, it seems that it shouldn't be that difficult for them to do because they utilize the same coding. I am hoping to play some better games on my Surface in the near future.
It would make sense - there are going to be a lot of windows tablets out there in the next year with all of the convertibles, etc....not to mention all of the Windows 8 PC users who aren't serious gamers, and won't pay 40-50$ for full PC game, and who would gladly pay 5-10$ for tablet version to play on their desktops.

G-Gee by GMO games question

Hi, just as the thread says I want to ask about G-Gee by GMO games (e.g Dodonpachi, Espgaluda II, Double Dragon, Deathsmiles). Can I somehow play them? I can't find any of those on Google Play. I tried downloading G-Gee app as well. But the problem is I cannot connect to a server. Do they work or some kind of emulator? Or maybe I have to change my VPN? Are those games gone for good?
I searched a long time for this answer as well. It seems like they are gone for good. There is no hacked backup online, at least i couldn't find one. It seems unbelievable to not be able to play these ports, but it's the reality.
The (somewhat) good news is, that all the new Cave shmups (Espgaluda 2, Daifukkatsu, Deathsmiles, Mushihime-sama) can be played on android via Retroarch emulator with Mame core (2014 version). The bad news in this good news is that even a S9 has trouble playing them as they are very CPU heavy games in Mame.
Maybe the next generation of smartphones will play them smoothly, we'll have to wait and see.
