So... Anyone else having TERRIBLE emulator experiences? - HTC Droid DNA

I've been trying all sorts of emulators and my DNA can barely handle a GBA emulator... My RAZR M flew playing FPse games, and my DNA's lagging way behind even with nothing running. N64 emulators are jerky and pause a lot... Any ideas?

Just try'd to play pokemon ruby with myboy free edition and it run like but no lag at all. You can try changing framerate skip to 3 and see if that helps you can try forcing 2d renduring in the development menu and see if that helps... Good luck..

Just tested super Mario 64 and it works fine for me.

Emulators run fine for me too. What I have problems with are the on screen buttons, those don't register too well and I can't get the PS3 or Wii controllers to work with the phone.

Check out the original development thread DSB made a Bluetooth hack that might fix your problem

Which are you guys running? FPse is mainly what's worrying me. My Boy works fine, but that's GBA. I was using Mupen64Plus, AE for N64 and it was stuttering like crazy.

Emulators on the Streak?

I was just wondering if anyone had played SNES / Genesis emulators on their Streak and could comment on how good they played?

I think it may be better waiting till we get 2.x roms as they offer better mutlitouch support.
ive got snesdroid and gendroid or w/e they are called installed and they are very glitchy. sound is crackly, video is juttery. not worth bothering with at all

Are not worth downloading,i will try again once 2.2 is on board

I'm surprised they are so glitchy and juddery as I'm sure they were fine on 1.6 on other Android Devices.
I payed for the snes emulator, rom buddy and the app that lets you connect a wii controller to the phone. The wii controller app won't work, I emailed support and he said he'd look into it if I reported the issue (i thought emailing him was reporting the fault?). Anyway, earlier posters are right, unless the wii controller app gets working on the streak, multi-touch is needed. To be honest, with the quality of games coming out for the streak, I can't see the snes games holding my attention for very long, but would still love to show them off using a wii controller.

Thats a shame,I'm surprised it doesn't work as all it needs is Android 1.6 or higher.
There was an issue that it doesn't work with HTC Sense so I wonder if the Dell stuff thats been added to the Streak is causing it not to work, as same if it is as I've had a lot of fun using a Wiimote with my Desire now I've upgraded to 2.2, and would love to do the same on a Streak!!!!
any chance that Dosbox will be released on Android with full virtual keyboard support?
cannot wait for multitouch gaming
I got the emulator off the market that does several machines I played a. Snes Rom and genesis Rom both were fairly smooth with sound. Only drawback is lack of multi touh. Roll on 2.2

I agree with the dude above I installed the Snes emulator and the wiimotecontroller apps and that works fine. Dont see any frame drops in game play but sound is pretty poor. But really do need to have multi-touch so i can also use the Virtual gamepad when I don't have the wiimote with me.
Not every one carrys a wiimote with them at all times.
Same sort of experience as the rest of you I guess. I've got Gameboid for the Streak and Pokemon works like a charm
I've recently downloaded the PSX4Droid App which runs exceptionally smoothly. The big issue of course is the lack of multitouch. If you can get the right kind of games it's not the end of the world but for most you're gonna need multi touch. Once that arrives though then there won't be a single flaw in the emulators that I've used!
I have also been using PSX4Droid lately and its pretty good so far, but when we get multitouch this emulator will really shine. Some games are quite playable already, I am playing through FF7 now with the run button mapped to the camera key. Lets hope we get the update asap...
Has emulator situation improved with Froyo/2.2?
I was reading this old thread and it sounds like SNES emulators weren't running too well on Android 1.6. Now that Froyo/2.2 has been out for a while, can anyone tell me:
- has SNES emulator performance improved now the Streak has JIT and multi-touch support?
- are any SNES emulators really playable on the Streak + if so which is the best?
- does PS3 Sixaxis work over Bluetooth with the Streak?
Thanks,
-- Not Relevant
i've not tried a SNES emulator yet but I have FPse and that runs well - I play Colin McRae Rally 2.0 quite a lot on it.
It's best with overclocking and a fast ROM but still plays OK on SD 1.9.1 without perfmod.....

Cool, thanks - I'll give that a try. Been a while - the last time I played any PS1 games I was using Bleem!
I'm looking at SNES9x EX right now - seems a bit glitchy and on-screen controls aren't great. I'm running on stock 351 ROM so might need to try something with different scheduler and/or overclockable kernel. Not sure I want to risk an unstable phone though...
NESoid
SNESoid
N64oid
GENoid
All work great. Use Wiimote Controller and wiimote and you have yourself a 5" gameboy.
So why is every thread saying I need this ROM gripper to get games like NBA Jam to play and I cant get the ROM gipper or any SEGA Genesis emulator to work? Any help please on steps to get NBA JAM to work?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1208047
Sixaxis on Streak
Well I guess the real question is how can I even get NBA Jam working? I havent even got that far. I have downloaded all the ROM Grippers and what not but cannot get any of the Genesis or SNES games even playable? Is there some other download im missing?

Snesoid/Nesoid question.

Does snesoid or nesoid run smoothly on the vibrant cause last phone i had it was a bit laggy, so if anybody already has it on their vibrant let me know! Thx
i have all four emulators by Yonghz and they all run phenomenal on the vibrant.
gameboid - perfect
gensoid - perfect
nesoid - perfect
snesoid -perfect
even snesoid now runs Super Mario RPG. BRILLIANT Work!
So they arent laggy like they are on some other phones? Cause i had the mytouch and even that was kinda laggy and choppy on the sound!

do you use any kind of gamepad, bluetooth or otherwise?
some of the games (notably RPGs) seem to be fine - but others it seems kinda hard to play without some kind of gamepad.
I played several games for a while on Nesoid and Snesoid and had no problems with the onscreen controls. They both ran perfectly after tweaking some settings and preferences.
I probably play the emulators more than any games from the market.
^ exactly what I was going to say.
Wii Mote apps DO NOT work
http://www.appbrain.com/app/com.mercury.inputmethod.wpad

SGS + emulator + tv out + wii mote would be awesome
what are your settings for the multitouch. I try to play mario on Snesoid but can run and jump at the same time.
It does look amazing, its faster that the actual Nintendo game
Do you guys use the on screen D-Pad?

onscreen doesn't work well enough for me
On screen controls work awesome on this phone.. I can still get ultras on killer instinct...
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
Yeah and? You don't need to bs us. That stuff is impossible from the phone. I love killer instinct and highly doubt anything other than cinder or the werewolf can be done and unlikely on ultimates. Not to mention that the more I remember of playing that game when I was a kid the more I remembered that other than the finisher ultimate you don't want to do long combos because they are breakable = you lose vs experienced players and vs the ai.
Meanwhile there are other reasons for external controls. 2 player games is one reason. 2 player killer instinct would be a lot more fun.

I find that hard to believe, i can barely get a 5 hit combo it's so hard.
I have a question about nesoid that you guys may or may not be able to answer. Its regarding the Game Genie function. I enabled it in options and pointed it to the rom on the sdcard, I enter (for example) unlimited life and unlimited rupees in Legend of Zelda and fire up the game...works great...HOWEVER...when I save the game's state and return to it later (even after re-entering the Game Genie codes), they no longer work after loading my previous state. Do I really have to start the entire game over again if I want to use the game genie codes?

n64oid and Zelda sound issues

Any other EVO 3D users tried N64oid? It's great overall, but whenever I play Zelda the sound hangs up continually. Since I have the fastest phone out, I figure it should run fine, but no dice
Thanks in advance!
I have not been able to get any n64oid game to be playable. Same goes with PSX4DROID. psx4droid worked on my evo4g
Try fpse for playstation emulator. Works great. And n64 for golden eye worked for me, but haven't tried zelda.
Sent from my PG86100 using XDA App
Goldeneye was glitchy for me, but super mario 64 works flawlessly for me, I also have not tried zelda
You have to turn the frame skip all the way to 10 for golden eye to be close to playable, but it's way better than any other phone I've seen for it. But the sound never faltered us what I meant

Compatible Games with PS3 Controller

Hi Guys,
Can anyone confirm the games which are compatible with PS3 Controller?
I am thinking of buying one..
LIST OF COMPATIBLE GAMES:
GTA3
Muffin Knight
Pool Break
Riptide GP
ShadowGun
Shine Runner
Sonic CD
Soulcraft THD
Well for my own experience, here is my two cents
psone games (ofcourse)
nes.emu (Nintendo Entertainment System)
snes9x Ex (Super Nintendo) <-- this one however I believe is removed from Market.
ColEm (Coleco Vision)
I have not had time to try any other. But I believe there is more than this that would work. It is well worth the money to buy one, if you ask me.
well, I am looking for android games which are compatible with PS3 controller..
Sent from my Sony Tablet S using xda premium
GTA 3 works well with controller
GTA 3 works well. Button mappings are a bit different than the original but once you get the hang of them it is very playable.
Cm'on guys..please try and confirm if other good android games can b played with ps3 controller..
Sega Sonic Adventure is supported I believe..
sent via awesome aRc (rooted 2.3.4)
Are you referring to sonic cd? Or is sonic adventure on the market too now? If so holy crap why can't I find it
Also you could just get n64droid, a nintendo 64 emulator. Works pretty well on the sony tablet. It allows for complete control mapping, so you could be tearing up some Zelda or Mario cart on a Sony controller .
The developer did however pull it from the market for some reason (even though he had plenty of customers like me that paid around $6 for it), so you will have to find it elsewhere. Development for it has continued even though its not on market... confusing.

I can tell you that ShadowGun is fully working (already finished), just go to setup/gamepad and map your keys
also played 3 minutes Inertia HD... not really impressed by it... but it's working
Sonic CD is definitly compatible. There are some weird things like not being able to pause in game using the controller (you have to presss the pause icon on the screen) but otherwise it works fine.
Edit: I just reread the original post and it loks like i misunderstood. I thought you were looking for confirmation on GTA and Sonic CD being compatible with the PS3 controller. When I get a chance I'll see what else I have on my tablet that I can add to you list. to note, all emulators ive tried (FPSE, Gameboid, Snesoid, Nesoid, Gensoid, GBCoid, Ataroid and Gearoid) work with the ps3 controller
Shadowgun works GREAT once you assign the buttons, but the analog sticks work natively and brilliantly.

Samurai Vengeance II-Doesnt Work
Pool Break Pro-controller works but you still have to press the on screen icons to do things like change the angle you are shooting, change where you are hitting the ball, etc...
I am unable to try out Asphalt 6 right now.
I also tried out Muffin Knight and Reckless Racing. In both games you can use the controller to play the game but you cant really navigate and select thing in menus with it

PES12 not works!!!
inviato dal mio Sony Tablet S usando Tapatalk HD
Hmm this is a great thread. I was wondering that myself.
Anyways, Muffin Knight does work with the controller... but I don't think you can use a button to jump. you have to use the up key on the dpad to jump. This makes it tough, especially when you get the double jump ability.
I have a load of games on my tablet which I'll test tomorrow. If anyone wants me to specifically try a certain game just ask. I have about 150 games purchased now and no qualms about buying more lol.
It's great to hear shadow gun works btw! I refuse to buy fps games on a touch screen because I can't control them to save my life lol. I'll list what I come up with by Friday at the latest
List of Working and non working titles
I got up early and started testing a few games. I'll include a list of non working titles as well just so everyone knows. Any notes will be in brackets after the title
NOTE: I decided to add an Almost working section in the middle of the list. Theres a couple games that nearly work 100% but a critical button doesn't work. Emailing the devs may get that fixed promptly!
WORKING
-Shadowgun
-SupaSupaX (Unable to pause with controller)
-Muffin Knight (Have to jump with up on d-pad)
-All PS1 games from the PS Store
-Soulcraft THD (Works great!!!)
-Sleepy Jack (Works....but controls are a little weird. You click the left stick to shoot and click the right stick to use the slow bomb)
-Grand Theft Auto 3
-Shine Runner
-Symphony of eternity (Although you need to click the left stick to accept combat decisions)
ALMOST WORKING
-They Need to be Fed (left/right work on dpad and analog stick, but jump doesn't!)
-Karoshi (Left/right working on dpad and stick again, but unable to jump)
-Dark Incursion (Jump and shoot are combined into the X button..powers don't work)
-Reckless getaway (Left right work, can't activate pickups)
NOT WORKING
-Pocket Legends
-Dungeon Defenders
-Bang Bang Racing THD (Drag...I can barely play this with the on screen controls)
-Dead On arrival
-Attack from outer space
-Wind up Knight
-Mike V- Skateboard Party
-Summit X Snowboarding
-Minecraft Pocket Edition
-Destinia
-Megastunt Mayhem
-Age of Zombies
-Puffle Launch
That's it for now. Is it possible for a moderator to keep a stickied post at the top of all 100% working games? If not, no big deal. We can just periodically copy/paste all working games with new additions as the last post.
How about onlive? Can anyone confirm if this works with the ps3 controller?
Has anyone tried Sonic 4 Episode 1? I'd like to know how well it works
compatible titles
thanks for this list, i'll keep my eyes open for more. Unfortunately, I cannot seem to get some things out here in Kuwait, but when I get home I'll check some more ut.

Settings for N64 games to run smoothly on the prime

I am using Mupen64 emulator to run my n64 games but they are not running to well on my prime. Games like mario kart run well but ridge racer, mk trilogy, tony hawk 2, and killer instinct dont run well at all. Is there something I need to change in the settings or is there a better emulator I can use that isnt in the market? Thanks for the help !!

Give a try to n64oid
N64oid (http://slideme.org/application/n64oid)
It costs $5 but I think it's worth it. The only trouble I have had was some shutters in Mario Kart, but I was also using a PS3 controller over Bluetooth (Sixaxis app) and streaming to an HDTV.

I had the same experience with Mario Kart, but just playing it on the tablet alone. No bluetooth on or HDMI out, although I think that's changed since the ICS update. I'm getting tired of using the touch screen and my Xbox controllers are broken, so I may try out Sixaxis again and root it.
Also, it totally is worth $5. Even worth dropping an extra dollar or two for an app that helps you find ROMS and download them directly from the app.
I'm using sixaxis controller, a ps3 controller and n64oid and Zelda is amazing, thats all ive tried though
Try putting in Frame Skips 2-3
I do that for games that stutter and it works great...
this is N64OID , but Im sure they all have frame skip
Turn off Fog if thats a option also
sixaxis requires root?

Thanks everyone for the recommendations. I will purchase the app this weekend when I have more time to play around with everything. Has anyone tried Mortal Kombat Trilogy, Tony Hawk 2 or 3, NBA Showtime, Killer Instinct Gold? These are the titles I am currently having trouble with. I am curious if others have gotten them to run well.

Could you possibly explain what the frame skips does/mean?
Mine was already set at 3, tried 5 which was worse, then tried 1 and that seemed better. Does that make sense?

Every Game is different so If 1 Works for one game great, others may require 2 or 0.
Frame Skip does exactly what it says... its skips a frame..
I don't know why we need it , but on any emulator they have the option. Maybe it has something to do with the way emulators work and read roms versus how the real system reads the games.. Your playing early 90'S games with 2012 technology
