So I accidentally posted this in the internation SIII forums and didnt get many replies.
I have the sprint galaxy s3 with the s4 processor and 2gb ram and both emulators are very slow on the phone. Anyone else have this issue?
Yes. Tried playing ssb on n64oid and it was laggy.
gameboid runs smooth for me playing pokemon. Try changing max frame skip to 0.

Yes n64 emulator was laggy playing zelda and Mario. Unfortunate but what can you do

I haven't tried it yet, but try contacting the emulator authors about it. Several of the apps I have installed have had recent updates that fix speed issues with the SGS3.
I've used N64oid, snesoid, FPSE, and haven't had any issues at all one my S III, sprint.
i changed the gfx plug-in to the gles2n64 and it seems to play smoother.
with that being said. ocarina of time still plays great, but other games dont work as well as they did on the s2.
remember, the s3 is pushing almost double the pixels. the s4 is more powerful than exynos, but i dont think powerful enough to compensate though. just my opinion. games to not play as well on this phone as they did on the s2.
Id be curious to see how the quad core exynos version of the s3 handles gaming

Oh I have them and the pro version. But what plugin did you use? Did you use any specific settings?
The qualcomm plugin.
i really haven't messed with any settings other than setting the aspect ratio to 4:3 or whatever and all the emus ive ran run MUCH better then they did on my Xperia play. N64oid and FPse were basically unplayable for the most part. most roms were stupid slow.
this CPU and RAM seem to have no performance related issues running any emus as far as i can tell.

Alright I installed the free version of Chainfire and booted up FPse, went to switch to OpenGL and loaded the plugin, got an immediate force close upon reset, what did you have to do to get it to run?
N64 and SNES emulators run flawlessly on my S3. I have tired tons of games and they run perfectly.

Hate to get off topic, but have you been able to get FF9 working on FPSE? I havent,
On topic though, I've use NESoid, SNESoid, GBCoid, GBoid, GBAoid all work on my phone. Have tried n64oid.
I must say I just downloaded Chainfire3D with . Qualcomm plugin and it fixed any lag I had while playing NBA jam. DOPE!!!

Sorry, misread your question. I wouldn't say gbcoid is optimized for tablet screens as the virtual controller button placement could be a hindrance at times. Aside from that [very] minor occasional inconvenience, it's very playable. Especially because you can change the Scaling of the screen to fit your preference.
*If you have a bluetooth controller, I imagine it would be 100% perfect.

Hey can you tell me the steps to get FPse working? i got the app and i installed the bios file. is there any like a specific place to save the bios file?
as for roms. do u have to do any steps? or just download from the site as a .bin file and copied it onto ur tablet? i copied the .bin file onto my tablet but FPse can't find it.
FPse. Since the last update added dual core optimization ... well everything just works, in fact it works TOO fast - I had to frame limit all my games and I had turned on all the tweaks. Tekken III runs beautifully. Additionally the sixaxis bluetooth controller works great with it.
HI, Does anyone have tried playing with fpse on their galaxy S3? Is it super smooth for games like FFVII (no drop of fps transitioning to battle), FFVIII (fmvs) and so on.

Haven't yet tried my FF7 with it, but Tekken 3 via software GPU plugin and with 32bit rendering/anti-aliasing etc runs very well (near constant 60fps).

Will have a go at some stage soon with FF7 and let you know if someone doesn't beat me to it.
Yeah do post what settings you're using ff7 on fpse with. My sound in ff7 is ****. Psxdroid seems to be playing games better than fpse. Also psxdroid is free now that it's being developed independently off the google play

I've ripped my Jedi Power Battles and Street Fight EX Plus Alpha disks and used them with FPse, they both run really well. For some reason none of the games I've downloaded work, only the two I've ripped works.
Looking for the best rom for gaming.
Been playing nova 3, 69p at the moment.
And real racing 2.
Both games lag at times.
Can anyone recommend a rom and kernel combo which they find works very well, Im looking for the best.
I'm currently on foxhound 1.4.4, using siyah kernel, the rom itself is the best I've used, however when gaming on the said two games I get lag.
Any help, pointers or suggestions is appreciated.

Really? What games have you played on that rom? Any of the two that i mentioned?
thanks for replying.
It doesn't really matter, most tw roms are the same anyway except for a few cosmetic changes.
What you need is to overclock your gpu when playing graphics intensive games, siyah will let you oc the gpu up to 700mhz and still be stable (it goes up to 800 but it's not stable)

If you NEED to overclock one of the most powerful GPU's for mobile devices around, then there is definitively something wrong with your game...
well dead trigger runs really well, even with tegra 3 graphics switched on, now i know that real racing isn't optimized very well and i've only just played nova 3 this once, but surely it should work well on the S3, and fyi, theres nothing wrong with my device m8, i've tried this on about 4 different s3's and all yield the same results.
The games are all paid for versions too.
Maybe i'm not ocing the GPU, i hadn't touched it but will check it out.
Cheers.
What are you using to OC your gpu?
thanks.

I have a fast rom (foxhound) nothing much installed, killed all 3rd party apps with autostarts.
Using Siyah and although the games run at an acceptable frame rate, i think there is some lag still present.

You can see retroarch playing ps1 games on a note 2 flawlessly. So obviously the issue is on your end.
I find that retroarch lacks in configuration where a normal standalone emulator exceeds, they make for better compatibility with games and performance tweaks. The downside is that standalones are about $4 each.

Can you elaborate on this? Retroarch is getting in game menus, built in wii remote support, and more cores. What do the paid emus who run worse and have frameskip on do better?
The wii remote is garbage for any system post Genesis. You need more buttons. I'm using sixaxis and dualshock3 controller. Like said before though, the configuration in retro is a little weak compared to all the oids with button mapping at least

You can plug in a plethora of different controllers into the wii remote, giving you a ton of options. You can see here with the official Neo Geo arcade stick plugged into the wii remote.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=pdsFgv3EGLk
Retroarch has native Sixaxis controls. Configure the pad with the sixaxis app and set it to gamepad mode, and retroarch fully maps it out for you by default.
The configuration for the button mapping is identical to the oids and other emus, you can manually go in and set each button on the controller with whatever you are using. Can you again tell me what else you think the paid emus do better so i can tell the devs directly? Feedback is important, so i'd like to know what else to suggest. So far you've just mentioned stuff retroarch already does out of the box.
