yes, you actually can control the aiming with your stylus, but you might already be aware that the kaiser has the annoying touchscreen bug when where it slows down drastically! it sucks..
I just cant wait to get a new VGA device that doesn't have this problem, I'll be able to enjoy a lot more games.
touching the screen uses about 75% of the CPU, leaving only 25% left, that's why everything slows down so much. The only game I'm able to sucessfully use the stylus while I play is wolfenstein, because it barely uses any CPU power, and warcraft II, because I only make taps (holding down the stylus isnt needed.)
Does anyone know of any good games for the x1?
Looking for them too, atm no games support 800x480 res
yes, that resolution is really a problem.
anyway, Vexed, which is one of my good old games, is still working fine with x1. and i found that many old games are still able to be ran in x1, but not those new ones.
Looking also...I wish that the Ants game was playable on the X1
im a little disapointed how i have only got 2 games installed on my x1 currently
Boxword wich is hard and addictive and worms which is great because its like any other version of worms which is awesome.
i'd really like to have some more good ones though

What worms game? Tried Worms world party but it wouldn't run on my X1
A bunch of old games here...
I have these loaded and working:
Chesscapade
Death Drive
Empire of the Undead
KSE Backgammon
Madden NFL
Maggot Attack
Naughty Worm
Obama Bobble
Pocket Spades
Rats
Resco BrainGain
SlotCarRacer
Snails
Street Duel
Most of them run in 640x480 mode only either by leaving the bottom part of the screen untouched or after using VGAfix to switch resolution--but they do all work.
I see Spore was released by EA yesterday for the Xperia, (well it says its compatible). You can get it from the same site you get the Bejeweled registration code from:
http://store.handmark.com/p/7409/Games/Spore-for-Windows-Mobile-Pocket-PC/Sony-Ericcson-X1-(XPERIA)
I haven't bought it, but the PC version got some quite good reviews...
havent messed too much around but
miner
all mobile mines
works out of the box
vmodeswitch made nine hole golf 1.0
work
best path is just to try out normal games some scale some dont fill
the whole screen some crash
some works ok

yeah I was playing this on my old nokia. You'll get bored of it very quickly. very much like the PC version
any good arcade games that work with X1? especially shoot them all up kind of games?
"I haven't bought it, but the PC version got some quite good reviews..."
spore origins is not! the same game as the pc game called spore
sure it's from the same company and the pda games is a bit like the first
stage of the pc game
you can compare it with the spore origins for iphone/ipod touch
i would google some reviews of those before paying for the game
"any good arcade games that work with X1? especially shoot them all up kind of games?"
look for simulators like mame snes and c64 and the likes
and try out if the free duke nukeem3d, doom1/2, quake1/2/3, wolfenstein, heretic, hexen
fps games works with the resolution
buttom line == google for "pocketpc "+ the thing you want to find
PocketHumanity runs cool!
what about
pocket ufo? I didn't get around to trying it, but it works on other phones really well.
when the replacement x1 comes I will give it a go.

Didn't run on my X1, not even with vgafix.
i installed pocketdos and ran an old dos game called spelljammer it's a native x86 dos game so it's emulated but it ran like a char and pocketdos let me adjust the res to fill the screen nicely
Anyone got Quake 3 Arena working on the X1?
Games I have installed on my X1 are: -
Tomb Raider - Works perfectly but only in VGA, no fix required
Age of Empires Gold - Works perfectly but only in VGA, no fix required
Blobble Bubble Build (EXCELLENT!) - Works perfectly but only in VGA, no fix
Call of Duty 2 - Works perfectly but only in VGA, WVGA2 fix required
Duke Nukem 3D - Works perfectly but only in VGA, WVGA2 fix required
FPSECE - Works fine in WVGA but most games only run 15 - 20 fps
Picodrive (100% speed genesis emulator, the best!) - Works perfectly but only in VGA, WVGA2 fix required
Dopewars - Works perfectly in WVGA
My personal favourite is tomb raider, it looks amazing runs amazing and is one of the best games ever made (in my opinion)
Generally im finding that any game written by a large studio will work fine. It seems that most big commercial games (tomb raider age of empires etc) are written to handle bigger screen sizes and auto set themselves to vga. I've found that most smaller or less known games either require WVGA2 fix or dont work at all.
Keep the list coming I wanna see what else can run on this beast!

why would anyone play first person shooters designed for the pc on a mobile phone...quake3 would be possible because its been done for other mobile phones, but expect 2-4fps and no way to really control the player.
Anyone knows where I can find bejewled for free????
Exactly as the title says.
Also post games you hate so we dont fall for them:
Games i've tried and recommend:
Age of empires gold (Name says it all)
Sim City 2000 (dito)
Dopewars (Addicting)
Teeter (Comes with the phone)
MC Poker (play online with other people Texas Hold 'em)
SkyForce Reloaded (Really fun; just try it)
Snood (aim and shoot "snoods" and match them up to destroy them)
Midnight Pool 3d ( Im a pool fanatic *demo comes with phone)
Games not to get:
Arvale II (just too simple / redundant. Its rpg style but it sucks (in my opinion))
Feel free to add on
Couple of old games I had that work well on my Sprint TP:
Acky's XP Breakout - VGA breakout-style game works nicely with the stylus
Atomic Cannon - Nice graphics on a Scorched Earth-type game. This one occasionally has a sound glitch where the sound stops, going into sound settings and disable/enable cycle fixes.
Bejeweled 2 - Of course. How can you go wrong?
Not all test on the TP but I was just looking on other forums about best games. And here is a list I made of games I wanna try
Call of Duty 2
Warfare Inc
Arvale and Arvale 2
Krally
minijetfight
UNDERCROFT
soldier ants.
SkyForce Reloaded
Lemonade inc
tots n togs
The Quest
Quake Mobile
Rayman Ultimate
pocket heroes
I would highly recommend Orions: Legend of Wizards and its expansions.
could you provide links as to where you get the games from...
yeah sure when i get to a computer. i gotta say some of those suggestions look really good. i warn you though if you get the arvale series only get the demos because you will be dissapointed
p.s. has anyone here actually played the quest? it looks interesting, but is it worth it?

I'd love to see some links also. Does Sim City 2000 work well with the Fuze controls? Do you play with keyboard out, or no? Does it display full screen landscape?
lemings
syberia
warcraft2
ufo
and if one goes into the whole
amiga, c64, snes and MAME emulator
scene then it's a different question i guess
diff people diff tastes i like fps games as much as
the next guy but dont really feel it works on pda's using
the touch screen
tombraider worked ok but required many many hardbuttons to
work so dont believe any htc devices ever had the option to stop
the game without softreset
thanks for the recommendations. what am i not seeing with dopewars? i tried it for two seconds and was already bored (and a bit confused).
by the way, please indicate if your recommendations require extensive use of the d-pad (touchpad). we all know it's not the best to use and i've had to stop playing one of my favorites (ms. pac-man) because it's clumsy to navigate in fast-paced games without hitting the back or home buttons.
I have always been addicted to Quartz 2 and am glad to see that they have released a VGA version.

I never softreset when I want to stop playing TombRaider. Press Home button, click right corner (HTC Task Manager), hold your finger/stylus and drag until you'll see Tomb Raider, move to X (you need to hold your finger cos' the screen flickers).
Have you found a method to map the keys? The arrow keys are kinda reversed.
Some of the games I've tested:
- Rayman, bad control, poor framerate
- Prince of Persia HD, moves heavily
- Assassins Creed, again moves heavly, the game is not fluid
- Zuma Deluxe, nice one
- DragonBall, zuma deluxe style game, kinda slow
- Warfare Inc, nice strategy game
- I244 Machines at War, again nice strategy game
- Spore, kinda slow
- Lemmings
- NFS, jerky game
- Cokoto CartRacer, jerky game, poor graphics
- Rats, nice platform game but it's so slowly on TP
- Age of Empires
- Warcraft 2, i cannot select items properly.. it's like the screen is not calibrated
- TombRaider, this one runs really good. If I can remap the keys as I want..
- Bejeweled 2, nice logic game
- Pac-Man
- Quake III Arena
- Call of Duty II
I recommend (you don't need to rely on D-PAD for these games):
- Bejeweled 2
- Zuma Deluxe
- DragonBall (even if it's a bit slow)
- Warfare Inc
- I244 Machines at War
- Age of Empires
And for show-off:
- COD 2
- Quake III Arena

You have to be careful which one you get.
Handmark Scrabble works perfectly with pixel doubling. Highly recommended.
EA Mobile Scrabble is gorgeous, but unbelievably bad. The control was designed for mobile phones and it lacks enormously important features. Just... don't.
I have Handmark Scrabble and am very glad to know that when my device arrives on Friday that my favorite game will work. Curious about pixel doubling though, wouldn't there actually need to be pixel quadrupling in order to go from qvga to vga?
none of the games i recomended need the dpad... simcity2000 works well just run the tut. it can be a bit of a strain on the eyes sometimes.
Concerning d-pad troubles. Could there be a way to disable the phone and windows/back buttons prior to starting a game and automatically re-enable them when you quit? This way games would be much more playable...

Technically, yes. But since most of the math involved is just multiplying by two on each axis, "doubling" does make some sense. And it's shorter and easier to say.
OK, that's good enough for me.

I'm gonna buy it today so I can play some Conkers Bad Fur Day. I'll let you know!
I got it, will test it during lunch, I tried running it on my Droid 1, choppy but playable. Lets hope it flys on the Gtab when I get home.
Hey thanks six. I've been following it in the market looks like they fixed a few of the sound problems and other things....I might just jump on it too, this weekend. But ill wait for u haha.
Can you please let me know if it supports any other input methods,like wii mote. I would think it would be a ***** to play with the on screen keyboard.
The program is great!!!
The only issue I have is that the framerate is way to fast (didn't expect that), so the game play (at least for mario 64) is like mario on crack. I hope I can figure out a way to slow the framerate.
It does support the wiimote!

Sorry guys! Yes it's awesome!!! Especially on the G-tab, my 2 yr old and I have been playing Mario 64 and Mario Cart 64 like crazy! Well worth the money! Great in combo with "rom gripper ++"! It does run a bit fast on some games, but I am very pleased with this considering I bought all the *oid emulation apps for me and the kids, well mainly me. The on screen controller took a bit getting used to but wasn't so bad after a while. Yep wii remote will work.
any idea if a xbox wired controller works???

I doubt that would work. But the wiimote works. Too bad two player games can't be played on one screen, at least not that I know of.
I can't find it. . . I search n64oid and it doesn't come up. . .
Super Mario 64 ,Mario mart, and pokemon stadium 2 no issues.
Starfox sound goes away during gameplay but the game plays great besides that.
Pokemon stadium intro plays but that's it. Excite bike 64 is a no go. That's all I tested.
Not bad for an early release.
Hell yes! Was actually trolling online recently for an n64. Mine got stollen my Meth heads a few years back and I miss it and my perfect collection of classics. If I can play Tetrisphere and conkers bad fur day with the wii mote I will be in heaven, and be able to keep a little more cash in my pocket. Those systems can be expensive now. Apparently all the stoners up here in the Northwest have a death grip on their n64s and wont give them up for cheap.

I still have my n64 somewhere in a box. I never did get rid of it and I wouldn't either. Maybe those stoners aren't that stoned after all.
I have been using an N64 emu on PC & laptop for quite a few years now and have at least "a few" roms. Result is I have roms that are verified to work.
Seems not many games work well with this emu yet, but some that do:
Super Mario
Bust a Move 99 / 3DX, 2
Diddy Kong Racing
Mario Kart
That is about it so far that I tested. All others tried either play slower, strobe off and on or backgrounds go black. If you like the games above, the app is good right now.
I have tried several dozen roms so far and the ones above are the best.
BTW, The games play half the speed on Incredible, so even slower.
This seems a beta release and $7 is a bit steep.
Update:
Sadly, the dev is following the same trend as with his PSX emu and each update makes the app WORSE.
Some games that worked do not now and games are a lot slower with the update from today. A lot now crash before even playing. BAD update.
I only wish there was a free version so I could test it out.
Anyone knows if it would run well overclocked at 768 MHz?

Yikes. This is exactly why I'm not so sure about paying $7 on something that might not even run on my Ally. And the 15 minute refund window probably isn't enough time to judge, either.
Works pretty good for me so far, tried Mario 64, Zelda Ocarina, and Goldeneye, all worked at normal speed with good sound. Donkey Kong 64 starts but controls won't work, assuming a bad ROM.
As I type, my Son is playing Mario 64 with the latest update. No issues whats so ever. Thanks for the heads up guys!!!!
THIS IS WHAT IVE BEEN WAITING FOR!!! (well this and full version of firefox) It seems to run great on my gtab, super mario 64 is so fast its funny, on the other hand Golden eye 007 runs at just about the right speed.
Just checked the description. G-sensor as analog. I might try this.

Mario 64 runs fine on my gtab but I can't get golden eye to run lol. Wanna trade??? Jk
The newest version of the app is slower, compared to the previous version, so not sure what version you folks are using. Same trend as with his PSX efforts.
Trust me, in the previous versions performed much better. it seems he got rid of the auto frame-skip and the current frames skip method does a bad job.
You really notice it on the Snapdragon (Incredible). Slower version.
Update:
I see what he has done now with the newest update. He has adjusted compatibility to be better for some games, but the net impact is slower performance. Hope he finds a balance
So I noticed a stutter while playing games, particularly when having to touch the screen. Such as flappy bird. Every time the screen it touched, it stutters/skips.
Doesn't do this anywhere else on the phone. Smooth as butter. Any suggestions?
Yeah, i noticed the same and wondering why not many people complaining. Did you find a solution? As you said, this stuttering is in thr games with touch contols like flappybird or dont touch the spikes, etc.its really annoying. I love these games and i love my new moto x. Would be disappointed to return it for this reason.
Let me know if sonebody knows the reason, and more importantly, how to fix it.
Cheers

No solution. Received a replacement device due to the back separating, same thing. I assume its on the games side at this point.

Hmm. It could be that these games are not "optimized" for moto x but I'm having hard time understanding the reason. And why its just us complaining? I'll try and get the answer or return the phone for some other android phone. Pity!
That's pretty weird, mine doesn't stutter at all. I haven't tried Flappy Birds yet but Swing Copters is fine and so is Don't Touch The Spikes. I also play a lot of graphically intensive games like Nova 3 and MC5 and they are all perfect too. I'll give Flappy Birds a try in a little bit but I expect it to be just fine.

Well i just dl dont touch the spikes. Im not sure how that game played so i dont know if theres the stutter present. Strange...
Have the stutter as well. Hadn't played Flappy Bird since on my 2013 X. Tried it and it seems like the stutter/skip happens only after having not touched the screen for a second or two. If quickly and repeatedly touching the screen, there is no skip... only after a pause long enough for the phone to not be expecting another. Hoping Lollipop's ART runtime by default will fix this and other issues with scrolling smoothness.
No issues here
I just downloaded flappy bird 3d just to test it out. The game runs and plays absolutely as smooth as butter. Not a single skipped frame.
