can someone port jpcsp PlayStation portable emulator to android.it's written completely in java so it should be a snap to port to android right?

This is a good idea. We need a programmer to look this over and see how much work it would need. And those idiots who leave comments saying "no its impossible, the hardware is not capable" should keep quiet because many people said that about n64 on the android and its been done now.

Psp on Android....I'd.pay for that big time
Im sure loads of people would pay for this if it was done. Look at how many downloads fpse and n64oid have
This is a great idea considering tegra 2 processors and all that are out. But I'd love to see it on the xperia play
*Sony Ericsson Xperia Play - 3 UK*
the buttons should be able to fit on a touchscreen but if not theres always the possibility of bluetooth pads
Anybody? I would like to see this idea come to fruition

nah, not worth it enough considerly the fact that Sony is already developing/releasing some kit for developers and will probably release their own psp emulator or app to play em. WIll probably begin a new line PsA (PlayStation Android) `I guess they will do the same thing they did with their fail Psp GO but for android and ooen their own PsA Market
i saw a java emulator for android 2.1 (called java support) but not 4 all jar file!
program have a list off jar file,and convert theme 2 apk!
My question is for anyone who already has the Transformer. I understand that it will connect to your desktop, as a mirror. Does this work for Netflix? If you have Netflix on your computer and you connect the Transformer to it, will it stream through properly?
Also, can you connect to your computer if you are at work, or just away from home, or is it when only on the same home network? Not sure I've ever seen this question answered specifically.
Thanks for your info.......
Yes, using the built in software, it should be fast enough. nascar.com uses a very flash heavy app for ausio/raceview and when I use splashtop on my iphone, it works perfectly with audio and their live 3d video with no stuttering.
Cool, thanks......should suffice until the Netflix app gets ok'ed.......
Semi-related question: Are we sure about, hoping for, or excluding the possibility of the NetFlix App coming to this device? I remember some big controversy about most Android devices not being able to run NetFlix due to DRM or something?
The Nvidia Tegra 2 processor basically lacks the hardware DRM required by the RIAA. They have ridiculous requirement, but Netflix has stated it is in the works. Motorola has been OK'd and it sounds like Netflix will come on a device by device basis.
Hopefully some devs will be able to get the Xoom version running on this tab (if it comes to the Xoom, or other Tegra device). Apparently DRM is built into Honeycomb, so I'm the hardware limitation wont matter. It seems like a better way to implement DRM anyway, it seems like it would make the applications more universal.

There won't be a "Xoom" version. There will be a Honeycomb version, which will run on the Transformer, the Iconia, and the Xoom.
You wont be able to just go to the Netflix website and stream, they use Microsoft Silverlight for the DRM streaming
Currently only Snapdragon processors will have Netflix support
Here is a quote about Netflix and the Tegra 2 from January, 2011
"Netflix is using the Tegra 2 development platform to bring the Netflix experience to Android super phones and tablets. We're working closely with NVIDIA to ensure Netflix takes full advantage of Tegra's outstanding acceleration and security capabilities." -- Greg Peters, Vice President, Product Development at Netflix

I was referring to the post above me stating it will be on a device by device basis. While I think it's stupid to do that, it's happened before. Think Skype.

So, i cam across this on a tech for old people article of cnet, of all places. but i was looking at it, and i'm curious about it. it looks like it could be a fun thing to tinker with, but is that even possible? It says it runs froyo, can't be too crippled because it has a web browser. Only has "AppsLib" tho, not the market.
Also i can't seem to find it anywhere online >_<
EDIT: wait a sec, has this thing even been released yet?
be honest I was looking at picking one of these up myself. The prospect of running Google music (I did get into that beta) and having access to all my music seems good. Alarm clock functions are also a plus. I imagine it will be root-able and someone will make a g-apps package for it. It has a front facing cam as well so it could possibly run skype, qik, etc. or if 2.3.4+ was installed, Google talk. The Chumby folks also released an android app that emulates a chumby device fully and connects to their services so you could use this as a chumby / Sony dash.
Once you have appslib, just download arctools and ta-dah! Instant LATEST market. As for being rootable, I think any Archos is. The only problem the 35 HC may have is lack of RAM/a slow processor...

Buy the 35hc perhaps as a toy and all is fine. basic email,fring,games. Please don't expect miracles. It's like buying a budget compact camera and expecting dslr quality.

This might not be specific to this phone, since most Samsung phones don't have the ability to do this by default, but maybe it is.
My first Android phone was a Nexus One. Loved the phone, but after about 2 years, it died on me. I was ok with it too, as I was on AT&T and the data speeds were always SLOOOOOW.
Anyways, I have this phone now, and I do miss using a bluetooth gamepad to play snes roms. I tried using the bluetooth input app from the market (the one made by CCP or whomever) and naturally I get the, "This will not work on most unmodified Samsung phones" error message.
While part of me kinda wanted to buy the Galaxy Nexus, which I knew would work with this without any problem, the phone is just too large for me.
If you've rooted your Blaze and taken out some of the apps, have you ever tried to use a bluetooth gamepad (such as a wiimote, which is esentially what I'm using, since I have a Datel gamepad that is basically a wiimote built in) or the newer method which of course is a Sony PS3 controller, that is paired via a connecting cable?
I'm not sure specifically why most of the branded phones don't work with this, all I know is that supposedly the Sense UI phones don't have the proper bluetooth license in their chip so it never worked, I don't know if that was true though, and if it's also true for Samsung's Touchwiz.
I look forward to the day when there are stock ICS rom's that work with our phone available! Until then, I'll use what I have.
Thanks!
If anyone else is wondering, I rooted the phone a couple days ago, and yes, it does. I have not yet personally used the wiipad setup because I don't have any AA batteries currently, but https://play.google.com/store/search?q=sixaxis+controller&c=apps works very well. It connects with "type 2" which means that it has to disable all other bluetooth devices so you can't use a set of bluetooth headphones to listen to music or talk while you are playing a rom, but oh well.
I need a little clarification. The Nvidia console is running the same type of android as the tablet but has integration with Android TV. So outside of a little bit of a spec boost why can't android TV be done on the Nvidia shield tablet using Console mode hooked up to a TV via HDMI? I'm really not seeing the difference in the two products other than some specs and hardware.

I just tried it then with my Xperia Z2 Tablet, I downloaded the apk from: http://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google-inc/leanback-launcher/. Then pressed home and selected it as my launcher. I then plugged my Xbox 360 controller into my OTG Cable, then into the Tablet. I was able to launch Leo's fortune without a hiccup. Try for yourself.
So technically I could do this with a MHL to HDMI adaptor, but im still going to be getting the Nvidia Shield because I want something permanent in my loungeroom

Did you have to root to do this? Also do you only need the launcher apk or any other files? Not sure if all the services would run the same.
My original point is I have the shield tablet not sure why it can't do exactly the same thing as the console.

I do have root but sideloading an APK doesnt require root. Try it yourself.
If you want that full Android TV experience though, I'd go with the Shield TV
I guess I don't k ow why the tablet can't do what the console does. They are so similar.

Maybe because they're two separate devices that are different things. While I guess I can see what you mean about them being similar, they're different form factors, meant fit different purposes. If you must, install adb drivers and sideload the launcher, or just transfer the apk and install. Tbh though, you're not missing out. True story - it's just a phone without its own screen with a limited launcher. The search function is kind of cool , but nothing amazing. You can say show me movies that won an Oscar in 2012 , or show me movies with Kevin Hart, and it will show you movies, but mostly not what your looking for. I only bought it because ive been streaming games via moonlight on my note 4, and I thought it would be nice to stream them to my tv.

Actually that is what I would like. Contextual search. Appletv is a letdown. Chrome cast has been good but I rather have the interface and the contextual search. I like how androidtv is laid out and interacts with Google now. With that said I already us the tablet so I not going to get the console, which brings me to the reason I am questioning why I can't recreate the same experience. I would like there is more than just the launcher.

Little bit of a spec boost? At least twice as powerful, and 4K at 60FPS to boot.
It also uses the android TV platform which even though it is based on 5.1.1 it is different then the tablet os.
Also the hardware is different.

Beside the spec boost what I want to to flash the android TV platform on my tablet but haven't seen a thread that does this. The lea back launcher is unresponsive when I use it (cannot tap anything on the screen).
