Soul Calibur on my tf300? ((The original, not the sequels)) - Transformer TF300T Themes and Apps

Good morning everyone...
Can anyone recommend a way to run SoulCalibur on my TF300? I've got the original ROM from the arcade version and I also purchased the Sega Dreamcast version. Considering that the Tegra 3 is so ridiculously powerful I expect there must be a way to run it...
I downloaded Mame4droid Reloaded but it didn't like the sound, and even with sound turned off it still runs at maybe 1/3 original speed. I expect that this is because of emulation, but honestly the original clock speed was what... 100 MHz? How can emulating that be so hard?
Thank you SOOOO much for your answer. My MAME dedicated PC went poof last night and I'm going through serious withdrawl.

If noone has a good solution maybe this could be my next project lol.

Needs CPU power, since the 3d is emulated and not true hardware doing it in MAME.
Dead or Alive is also slow using MAME. Plenty of games run normal speed, but almost all 3d games are slow. Too many proprietary 3d hardware platforms to emulate, hence all done with CPU. Very inefficient as a result.
You hit on it though, since to emulate any 3d game, it will need a 3d wrap made specifically for the game hardware used for 3d in the game.

woah very nice, and smoooth wouldnt it be great to get some psp games on the vibrant like lbp or mgs? i know its a long shot but one can dream, I love this phone more and more each day
Mmm. Even though the Vibrant is a more powerful computer than the PSP (it should be, the PSP came out 6 years ago), unlike the PSP it is not a dedicated piece of hardware.
The PSP has worse graphics, but better controller response and lower overhead for operations. The vibrant has to run Android and monitor the state of the cell radio/gps/wifi poll the touchscreen and supply data to any running applications or widgets.
This commercial has it right - www . viddler.com/simple_on_site/944cdc1b
Gaming will be a far better experience on a PSP, and its battery will last a lot longer than a Vibrant's

I think most know the experience will be better on a PSP. The fact is, we want to know if we can play PSP games on our smart phone. I think the answer is yes, because our phone is way more powerful than a psp.
On the contrary, at least psp games won't be that much harder to control on our phone since the psp has bad controls already.

Nintendo 3DS emulator?

Is it possible? It would be so bad ass to play some 3D Mario on the EVO 3D.
I dont think it will ever work
Yeah I wouldn't plan on ever seeing that.
Great concept, but don't you need two screens to play most games? I'm sure the Evo would have the more than enough processor/GPU power to run an emulator for it, though.
Mate it to an og evo via bluetooth and you have your second screen! [/problem]

What kind of attitude is that? There were many things that people thought never worked on the EVO. Even HTC said it was impossible to run higher than 30fps and still maintain HDMI output.
The only issue I see is the dual screen thing. But many games I see on the 3DS don't really make much use of the second screen. Usually just displays options or just contains more controls. I am curious if there is way a to bypass this. Maybe it wouldn't be a direct port but something similar?
Sort of off-topic a bit but will developers be creating 3D games specifically for the EVO 3D available on the market?

Hmmmmmmm........that would be pretty gangsta if it could be done. If you could also pair a WiiMote to it, then you'd be golden. If someone does it, I'd be interested.

Eventually, I think yes.
bad idea overall. not sure things would run well, then there's the 2 screens issue and most importantly no dpad + buttons

A N64 has dpad + buttons and the emulator works fine on the EVO besides obviously being a little laggy. I think the processor of the EVO 3D can handle the 3DS games. Why do you say that things would not run well?
Because the 3ds has a more powerful GPU without having to emulate. The amount of raw processing power it would take to run isn't realistic.

I figured if the single-core EVO can run N64 games then the dual core should be able of much greater things. However I do not know much about what kind of processor the 3DS has. I wonder which emulators we might see on the EVO 3D then.

Lol, I read an article the other day stating the N64 only has a 100Mhz CPU? The EVO 3D will be 24x that speed, I sure hope N64oid will work good once the update hits.
BTW, there is a nds emulator on market (although it's pretty much 99% broken). It is completely possible to emulate a regular NDS w/ bluetooth wiimote as the controller, but the app shows the screen is portrait, cut horizontally down the middle. It has potential, but I don't think we'll see much compatibility with it anytime soon.

3ds has a powerful gpu? i don't think that's right lol. It was originally though to have a tegra 2 but instead runs a PICA200, which I'm pretty sure can't hold a candle to our gpu
It isn't about the power differences between the systems, it's about how well one system can emulate the other.
You have to remember that during emulation, you are going to need multiple times more power, because you're still running your original device, with another one on top of it (essentially).
Without a device being tweaked specifically to emulate another, it requires massive amounts more power, not just being on par (or even above) the emulated device.
It would be nice if it could be done, but also as far as I know, there aren't even any 3DS ROMs available yet. It would be great if I could backup my 3DS games, even though I don't play many of them (got Zelda today, and burning through that like it's a rented game).
Would be better off porting some of the better(easier to port one screen games etc.) games than getting an emulator to run. I think.
There is an experimental one in the market last time I checked.

The regular NDS emulator runs incredibly slow even playing games like pokemon run slow I can't imagine how the NDS 3d will run. But I'm pretty sure in time we will be able to play games like that. Maybe in 2 years from the way android and phones in general are advancing. The N64 runs smoothly if you over clock it to 1.5 ghz and up.
Well, in most cases, emulation of a non similar system requires at least 10 times the processing power of the original system. Example, the playstation one had a 33mhz CPU, so to effectively emulate it, you would need a 333mhz CPU. The 3DS had a 400mhz GPU and a CPU of a unknown clock speed, so you would in theory need at least a 4.0ghz duel core to emulate it.
Now these are rough estimates. If these were arm based CPUs, since most Android phones have arm CPUs and so does the original DS it, wouldn't be as steep of a requirement. And I'm sure there are some other factors I'm not aware of, since emulation of the Sega Saturn has been very difficult due to how unique the CPU, GPU, and sound processor were.
Just something to think about.

Think GTA 3 will run on the NC?

Was on engadget today and saw that rockstar is going to release GTA 3 for the following devices.
Apple iOS Devices: iPad 1 & 2, iPhone 4 & 4S, iPod touch 4th Generation
Android Phones: HTC Rezound, LG Optimus 2x, Motorola Atrix 4G, Motorola Droid X2, Motorola Photon 4G, Samsung Galaxy R, T-Mobile G2x
Android Tablets: Acer Iconia, Asus Eee Pad Transformer, Dell Streak 7, LG Optimus Pad, Motorola Xoom, Samsung Galaxy Tab 8.9 and 10.1, Sony Tablet S, Toshiba Thrive
Think we have a shot or not enough power?
We definitely don't have enough power because we can barely run any of the higher end games (shadowgun) I'm sure that well be able to get it running, but probably terribly. Also this game doesn't even have that great of graphics... just bad optimization

Shadowgun runs fine for me on one of the later nightlies overclocked to 1.2ghz. I also have GangStar running with no issues to.

GT racing, Asphalt 6, Modern Combat 2, Sacred Odyssey all run great for me. That being said with Gameloft already having Gangstar (which runs great BTW) there isn't much need for an actual GTA. GTA3 might be worth it if there was a way to put the Real GTA mod on it.
fine, fine maybe shadowgun was a bad example but what about 9mm, riptide, fast five, dungeon defenders, etc. those don't even force you to have a dual core device... remember we're pushing 1024x600(thats 614,400) pixels of 3D on old hardware... also I'm not so sure about the definition of "it runs fine" these days. Some people seem to convince themselves that things run great when they're not (myself included)

How did you get the crosshair in the middle, the damage indication, and the dragable looking area to fill the whole screen??? I've tried tons of different versions to no avail I've even looked at your thread and used the version listed to no avail. thanks in advance
yea gangstar makes gta3 look kind of dated.
I did notice a bunch of slowdowns trying high quality games on my Nook however a second later I noticed I was running on the conservative governor and facepalmed myself.
Switched to performance governor and everything was a breeze...
One way or another, we won't know until it's released, right?
I wouldn't be surprised if it runs. The NC is a little gem. That said, how is it going to playable on a touchscreen? And... an honest question... is GTA III really that fun? I just picked it up in a steam pack and it didn't take too long for me to move onto Vice City (and then stop playing that a little while later). It'll probably be more impressive to run on a phone/tablet but it felt like an early tech demo compared to a lot of "modern" games.

The entire screen is bound to controls, take a look at the picture of it on engadget... its a little overwhelming
Touchscreen controls urgh...
I still pair a PS3 Controller via Bluetooth every time I play PS1 / N64 games on my Nook... I really hope they add Bluetooth Controller support to the game.
Yeah, having real controller support would be nice. I did see the screenshots, and it's just really hard to play games with a virtual d-pad and even just *two* buttons (to me), let alone 6 or 8, especially when it includes what are supposed to be shoulder buttons.
On a side note, I mucked around a little with the onlive app, and that suffers from the same thing (the virtual controls). That said, OnLive does have newer, more compelling games, although it requires a constant, good data connection.
Nook Color seems to me to be able to push Dreamcast level graphics at 1024x600. Most games with that level of graphics seem to run at around 20-30fps at best.
The main reason GTA3 is so much more demanding than seems reasonable is that it's a sandbox game with a large, open world. It's not all that much different than say Elder Scrolls.
Game is out now and market says it should work on the NC. https://market.android.com/details?id=com.rockstar.gta3 Anyone got it to work?
It hangs Nook dead rght after intro movies. CM 7.1.0 Stable.
With chainfire nvidia plugin,screen stays black upon launching the app
soooo I take it as a no go. Darn. Well it works on my electrify but as stated earlier the controls take up way to much room. I'll try a wiimote I guess.
Anyone have any luck getting this to run? Would think it would be possible to and to control it with a PS3 controller connected via bluetooth.
Got it to work! Download GTA 3 version 1.1, use chainfire 3D and set default plugin to POWERVR, awful cellphone video below:

EDIT: Will test more in the morning, jump to 1:00 to see 30 seconds of "gameplay" before I flip the car
why do we have to use the powervr plugin? nook color actually has a powervr gpu
I didnt need any plug in. I installed CM7 last night and gta was in "my apps" and it runs better than on my shift. Lol

Yes this is about Gaming...

I'm sure most of you have seen the game demo's shown on the Prime, including Riptide, Shadowgun, Glowball ...etc, I am yet to see Tegra games such as the following:
Galaxy on Fire 2 - this should look amazing!
Shine Runner - hoverboat racing
HISTORY Great Battles Medieval - this was first tested on the nvidia quad-core reference tablet, which revealed how smooth a strategy game like this could be played
Zen Pinball - funky twist on pinball
Vendetta Online - another space game, but centred around MMO
Bang Bang Racing
Dark Meadow - another game to look forward to. Good visuals and an interesting storyline
I really hope other gaming company's head towards Android development in the near future, the mear fact that there are thousands of roms for various emulators and can be played with a ps3/xbox remote is a huge +
However I would like to see more PC like games possibly ported onto Android, for example Homeworld/Homeworld Cataclysm, Command & Conquer series, Half-life/Portal series, Borderlands...to name a few. I'm not sure where the community stands on this type of development, I'm sure it's not an easy task, but it has to be possible as it would grab alot of interest. I'm not saying necessarily the brand new releases, but at least some of the classic's that we know and love which would be ideal for some mobile gaming.
Just a thought, but share your ideas and suggestions
Porting from x86 environment (PC) is not an easy thing. And good games need good controls, even though we are at the point where gamepads are finally supported i dont think devs can make games that depend on it. So alot of games wont really work with touchscreen controls.
I think the best thing we can do if we want good games is pay for the ones that will come out on tegra3, so the companies make some money out of it.
And if you count alle the Tegra2+Tegra3 games + gameloft + other companies + emulator you get alot of good games already available. This Tablet is not thought as a replacment for my Desktop gaming pc.
Get onlive app and you can play all the great pc games.

NVidia has collaborated with a lot of game development teams (as you can see in most games credits), and Asus is the manager of the "Republic of Gamers" community. It should be time for them to push the developers to create good Android games. Anyway, a good game usually means more than a year of development. Providing how long has been Android alive, and how long has it been a smooth enough OS... my guess is game developers will start moving towards it but games will take its time to come.

I'm hoping for a Torchlight or Torchlight 2 port or version that works it's way to Android because I feel Action RPG would work great on a touch screen and since Torchlight has a netbook mode I feel it would run awesome on Tegra 2-3.
I'm also interested in Onlive but I'm concerned about bandwidth because I have a 6mb DSL connection and my wife and kids use netflix as the primary source of TV. I guess I could head over to evil charter but then the price doubles...
Anyway, I feel that we will get some AAA titles for android in 2012 and it will spike even further from there... I expect some good augmented reality games and some 3d action from Nvidia as well. =)

When Google merges Chrome into Android it should get much better. At least we would get Bastion. I see Android on the forefront on games on mobile device with stuff like Tegra, but with different capabilities per device there is not much incentive to make a really spectacular game that only runs on a few devices.

The games you mentioned are OK. The highlights are Dark Meadow and the Pc games you listed. I'm looking for more hardcore oriented games now. I had ShineRunner on iPad. It was cool but same ol really. Riptide much better although same people make it. I'm getting tired of the kiddy oriented simple games. Bring Metro 2033 or Batman Arkham city. Or would love to see some over the top FPS, maybe something from Broken Sword series, or maybe a tegra3 version of Dead Space.
Like you said, a really good, in depth game will take at least a year to develop. Only thing is with as fast as these tablets come out with newer, more powerful hardware, the development has to be shorter. Unless made in advance to run on future hardware specs also. Until I seen OnLive, I've been sleeping on PC games. I was always more of console type gamer. I cant front though, the games I've seen for Pc are sick as a Mofo on OnLive. PC versions of console games usually better or better graphics n extras. Mobile platform gaming needs more hardcore oriented games. Games that take a good amount of time to beat. Has to be more in depth. I'd love for Bethesda to make an Elder scrolls version for us. I miss playing that game. I had it when it came out for xbox one, the Morrowind version.
I think OnLive may be our only access to these type of gsmes till developers start producing these type games. ShadowGun is cool but I have it for iPad n just about beat it. I need more than that. Bladeslinger looks cool but very similar to infinity blade, which I have infinity blade 2 already. I want more games like Dead Space. That game is very well put together n always scare the sh€£ outta me when playing. That's how into I be, especially when playing with headphones on. I understand a tablet is supposed tp be pick up n go type device, but we need a more I intimate gaming experience. For some people, this tablet will be the only form of gaming they have. Like me. I no longer have console systems. My iPad is my sole device to fulfill my gaming desires. I have all the best games, IMO. So along with being a productivity device, I hope the Prime can continue my love of gaming also. I know IOS has way more games, but I have e feeling the tegra3 will open doors to some serious games to come. We need more unreal and doom3 type engine powered gsmes. Those usually produce the best visuals and gameplay. I like the more simple games also but I'm really looking for games to really make you think and put up a great challenge..

This was also said about Tegra3:
- Sébastien Deguy, CEO and Founder at Allegorithmic
“Tegra 3’s quad-core processor and 12-core GPU allows developers to port PC and console game titles using BitSquid Tech for the same great experience on any device. From a hard-core gamer’s customized PC to a phone or tablet with Tegra, you’ll get identical game play and buttery smooth graphics, anywhere any time."
- Benjamin Lee, Managing Director at Blowfish Studios
”Thanks to Tegra 3′s fantastic GPU performance we were able to use the same quality textures in Zombie Driver THD as on the PC. The outstanding quad-core CPU performance makes it possible to support Tegra game development in parallel to other high-end platforms.”
Some more details:
The GPU is also significantly more powerful than the Tegra 2 GPU, with up to 3x performance, while also adding other graphics features such as dynamic lighting, which they say no other current mobile GPU has that. Dynamic lighting makes for much more realistic environments and gaming experiences.
The game developers working on Tegra 3 games say that the 4 CPU’s help a lot with in-game damage effects, animated textures, weather effects and so on. So don’t be surprised if games made for Tegra 3 actually look better than other games made for other GPU’s, even if those GPU’s manage to get higher score in synthetic benchmarks (I’m looking at you A5/PowerVR SGX543Mp2).
Now this is very promising details!

Gaming on the Transformer Prime (my take)

So, I received my TF Prime on christmas evening I have personally never owned a tablet but have had several Android Devices and was able to play your typical puzzle and tower defense games on them without any problems besides slight performance issues. I mainly wanted the Prime for the gaming and I can honestly say this thing can handle anything I have thrown at it.
I first downloaded a bunch of classics, like Cut the Rope, Angry Birds, PvZ, and as expected they ran smooth as silk and looked better than ever on the Super IPS display. Next I loaded up some emulators, Mame, NES, Genesis, Super Nintendo they all ran excellent.
Then it was time to really see what the Tegra 3 could do, so I tried the Glowball Demo and RipTide Demo and was pretty impressed both game ran smooth and looked and sounded great, super easy controls. I needed to see more. I purchased ShadowGun from the Nvidia Tegra Zone app and was completely floored Visually and performance wise I couldn't believe I was playing this on a tablet, Console quality graphics smooth performance and most importantly fun! If this is any indication of the type of games and performance I can expect from the TF Prime and the Tegra 3 I am 100% satisfied with this tablet Anyone who is on the fence about getting the TF Prime and want to use it for gaming don't be, just get it. You will be happy you did I am content with my TF now and with ICS coming down the road things will only get better.

I'm pretty sure they don't cause gameloft hate Asus.
(why else their game aren't made available for the original Transformer ?
I'm sure Gameloft games will become available to use on prime. there will always be wrkarounds. plus we still great games like teg3 version of Dead Space and more to be released. check out my thread in themes and apps section of prime. its called Prime/Tegra3 Gamers thread. we list what's known to be working so far and more. there's alot of great games out for Android already. coming from using my Ipad, I was surprised at how much Android had. initially I was worried cuz I have all the best games on my Ipad and feared Android would severely be lacking. not the case at all. Android is catching up in the games department and have some really good ones out there. Tegra3 version of Shadowgun owns my Ipad version, which looks great also.
I played Shadow Gun THD at gamestop (my ATP comes tomorrow) and it was crazy how detailed and smooth the game was! If they can get more support for optimized games who knows how many incredible games we'll see!
While shadowgun is amazing and stunning my favorite is riptide
I too purchased the prime for gaming mostly and was very pleased when playing the available games. But I'm disappointed that gameloft games are not available for the prime. It is Gamelofts fault but end result is still can't play it. I think Dead Space is the same since I couldnt find it in the Market either.
Once root is available you can probably change build.prop to make market think you have a different device but that will prevent you from seeing tegra 3 optimized games so youd have to switch back and forth between two build.prop. But still this isnt guaranteed games will still work correctly.

Dead Space is offically coming to Android. The tegra3 version. not released yet, I believe. A couple people said they had it already but its not tegra3 version n more than likely a hacked version.
How ease it to hook up the PS3/360 controller via blue tooth with TP. No way I'm playing games like Dead Space with a touch screen.
ps3 controller is compatible natively through BT on the prime, the xbox controller needs to be plugged in via usb (which means you need the dock) to work, but it also natively supported that way.
the games also have to have gamepad support enabled, which shadowgun (iirc) does.

I think by prime having better battery life, a fifth core, best.display, and a beefier gpu from.Nvidia, it just might be. Of course the vita will be strictly game focused plus backing of Sony. so prime would probably produce better looking games since more powerful. the vita is no slouch also but you have to remember two different platforms. vital will have strictly games for it, mostly. prime will have some of everything and as time passes there will be alot of great games optimized for tegra3. the vita does look cool though. I had the original PSP when it first came out. I loved it. I have a good feeling the vita will be a hit considering how powerful it is and the great visuals, compared to other handhelds, it can produce.
