So I got the psx emulator even though the slide probably isn't the best device to be running the app on. Tried a few of my fave games and the larger roms (like GT2) are slightly laggier then the smaller ones (like Spyro 2). This is probably normal due to size.
I know this is the first release so its not a well pollished app but how much better do you folks think its going to get for us slide users? And is this the same experience the rest of you are having?
Sent from my T-Mobile myTouch 3G Slide using XDA App
took the app from 4shared.com amd game won't load. buying it tommorow tho, but it shouldnt run horrid thinking it might run smooth actually, not a fan of how you have to get the roms but hey it ps1 on the go right?
Update: Looks like my Bios was the issue, but works fine now. Games are pretty laggy tried overclocking but not sure it worked out to well, need to try something else. only tried spyro playable but not normal game play like you'd want. Wish we had hummingbird in this! *drools over keyboard* If FF7-9 work good enough for me then. but maybe in the future once its more polished it could become better but playing fighter games or very actiony games maybe not "amazing". Price you must pay for owning a mid-range device.
the games are wayyyy too laggy for slide imho. i just stick with the good ol snes emulator.
I think its the emulator that needs some work because I have heard it runs crappy on the Evo too, but for a work in progress you have to admit that its pretty impressive to be able to load a PSX game onto your phone. I have tried a bunch of different ROMs and so far the only one that is playable is Resident Evil Directors Cut.
I just downloaded this, but I'm enjoying it. It's laggy, but I think the fact that it's even possible is amazing.
I've been watching the psx4droid wiki(can't post a link yet) and another forum. Just checking out to see people's experiences with certain games. I think most of the people that are sharing on the wiki have a bit more mhz than us, but it kind of gives me an idea which games will be ok to run.
I've got FF7 right now and it's definitely laggy, but playable. Sound a bit on the staticy side. Downloading Breath of Fire III, Xenogears and Resident Evil 2.
I'm reading the Resident Evils should be better since a lot of the graphics are pre-rendered and mainly the characters and npcs are 3D.
Running stock, btw. Holding out for 2.2 before determine if I'm going to root.

Unfortunately RE2 runs too slow but RE Directors Cut runs well enough to play and the sound isnt terrible. So far thats the best I can find, well Tetris Plus runs fine but there are better Tetris games you can play in the market.

Ah crud. Well I'll probably be trying more things to see what is great. I wasn't really too excited about RE2 anyways. I never really had a PSX, so I didn't play a lot of these games. Of course I could just do it on the PC now, but... well, I do enjoy the slide.
About halfway through disk one of Final Fantasy 7. The game runs perfect on Fenix 1.8 OCed to 844mhz. Zero lag. The only issue is the sound but I usually play it in public places anyway so it's not a deal breaker for me. Even bust out the WiiRemote for a controller sometimes at home

Anybody played this game on the Vogue? It's AWESOME! lol...no really you should get it, ill post a vid soon, but imo I think it plays better than on other phone because of the d-pad, save the N1 and Droid. Single player is a bit laggy, but on multiplayer once your in the lead it's smooth sailing
Also I have a question, does our phone have a dedicated GPU?

GPU has worked on this phone for almost a year thanks to DZO. This only works in Android because HTC never released drivers and no one could ever firgure out how to do it for WinMo.
IMHO its what makes Android on the Vogue SO MUCH better than WinMo. Adroid would still be better than Windows but not by as much as with GPU

i have 60mb free on my nand, why is this game telling me it cant install, free up space? the apk is 19mb. raging thunder 1 works and looks great
when I download it it downloads then says installation unsuccessful
I've tried playing this on my Eris and it force closes all the time, so I would imagine it would be pretty tough to play on the Vogue.
i finally got it to work once i cleared data and istalled it first before installing any other apps. Otherwise it wanted more free space and wouldnt let me install. Single player lags but multipalyer runs pretty good. Raging thunder 1 runs fantastic though.
im running it on my diamond wiith the build of klinux with no probleme
Anyone tried playing the new gameloft games on this device? games like nova and asphalt 5?
I tried downloading the asphalt 5 demo off of the market place but it just says "my device is not supported" which is kinda crap..I wish there was a way for me to just play the damn thing to see how crappy it runs it.
I've been wondering that myself. I get the same thing when I try to enter in my device and I tried doing the SMS thing on their site but have yet to receive a text message.
I tried the same thing, I would imagine the slide could run it with how fast and smooth everything else is on this phone. I purchased super tumble and have been playing that lately, graphics look pretty nice in that game.
Installed the toonwarz demo, very chopy.

This is kinda odd cause the GPU benchmarks are really good. I wonder what is causing this
The n1 doesn't even run toon warz smoothly its choppy at the part when you come out of the cave it is smoother than the mytouch slide
i installed asphalt 5 but it wouldn't run, said something about not being compatible with this device.
Asphalt 3d runs very smooth on the slide, but asphalt 5 checks for device type and does not find the slide in its list so never runs.
I bet it would run just fine!

so is there any way to force it to play even though it doesn't suport it? by manually putting the files on there?

Asphalt 5 would install but not play for me, said my device was not supported. U sure it was A5 and not A3?

Ok guys, I have a my touch slide and I simply love it until I got this device I was skeptical of trying a new mobile os been with windows forever, hate the iphone this os seems to be an improvement over both but cant wait for the MP7 os to arrive. Anyway I have tons of high end graphics games running flawlessly on my device including" Homerun battle 3D, Heavy Gunner,Raging Thunder 1 and 2, my fave is BackBreaker Football etc. no problems at all. the problem i have discovered is that Gameloft made the games Device specific. not that it wont run on this device the sight says its compatible but when u go to put your device type "HTC" it then only gives you one choice to select"Nexus 1" which it says is not compatible for the nexus 1. This device falls under the catagory of High end Android devices. bad thinking gameloft. anyway, checkout the games I just mentioned if u haven't already plenty of down time and break time enjoyment, and by the way all of these games i mentioned are online multiplayer compatible.

Asphalt checks the Build.prop probably, or screen resolution. I tried to install Hero of Sparta and it worked fine but didn't fit on the screen.

The MyTouch Slide is not a high end device. If you play Crysis on a computer at 800x600 with a Nvidia GT 240 you'll get a good frame rate. Play it at 1600x1200 and you'll get a bad frame rate. The same goes for the Slide, it runs at 480x320 while the Nexus runs at 800x480.
I do <3 the Slide though

works fine but sucks like the others said.
never have gotten other games to play tho, i do download them from 4shared tho cause im not paying the money for a one time use. but its downloads and doesnt go to a menu or nothing just is about to go then blacks out to home screen.
The phone it self is nice for intensive games. I mean could be greater but i was using the g1 so its a very big upgrade.
Everyone do yourself a favor and just use Gensoid or SNesoid and play full games that look good and are actually fun like Sonic, Mario, Paperboy ect. Why play crappy mobile games when you can play a full Sega or Nintendo game and just save it and load it as you please.
just heard about it and am rather excited. has anyone tested it on the g1? is it even playable?
yes i installed psx4droid on Cm6 on G1 i tested crash bandicoot and it works but exstremly slow, sound is also very poor
but its G1 so what do you expect.
thoughts awesome havent tested any other games yet im thinking if i disable comp cache and enable swapper on my swap partition then it may be faster...??
oh yh i have the same phone with cy6 and amon ra with death spl
in step by step detail can someone please explain the process of getting the rom to work. i tried a file from doperoms and when i putin the correct bios and clicked on the twisted metal zip it open another folder and said there was nothing in the folder. can you please guide me in this. i been so fustrated tryna figure this outfor a while now lol any help is appreciated
Don't download off dope roms unless you know how to convert their psx roms to .ISO or .BIN. I use emu paradise forums as long as the roms are in those two formats you should be fine the only problem is even with swapper or linux swap you cant get enough memory for the games. They seem to run incredably slow and it makes it unplayable unless someone can get the linux swap only to work for psx4droid so it only gives that program the memory it needs then maybe it'll play like the moto droid does with psx4droid. Anyway good luck with getting it run well.
If any progress in getting this to run smooth on G1 PM me
Sad to say it but psx4droid is just a novelty on the G1. Ive tried tekken on down to a 2d game like Suikoden. It makes no difference wat you do. Even overclocked to 700 sumtin mhz with set cpu you only can get around 5 fps.
I got it running a lil faster than 5fps I'm not sure but I keep it at default. And also I disable the sound it gives it a boost. But I will do a video on youtube tonight or tomorrow. Jus search my username androidappman and you will see the video it won't be hard to find.

ok no prooblem im up and have one more ciggerette for the night lol so ill post it but im taking back what i said on it moving faster than about 5fps but again it could have been the game cause i had chosen silent hill but i heard ace combat was pretty smooth running as well as crash bandicoot but my issue is i wanna start a dropbox like sysytem to load all the converted games for others to have easy access to. but im a do the video about basically how to convert the game into the proper file type and do so in detail. so look out for me in the morning. p.s anyone get wit me on a site like dropbox so i can sign up and start uploading away with you all.
I also have CM6, and I tried this emulator out. Extremely slow, but seems to work. Needs a lot of optimizations, as I'm sure that the G1 can certainly emulate PSX full speed. How I know this? Cause I could on my Kaiser, with FPSCE. I was able to play Megaman 8 with sound with minimal slow down. Then again, I had to use Windows Mobile for FPSCE.
Considering the difference between the G1 and Kaiser CPU's are 128 Mhz, I really doubt it couldn't be done on the G1. Would like to also mention, on the Kaiser the 3D acceleration wasn't working either. So FPSCE had no help from the GPU.
My guess is that PSX4DROID uses the FPU that you'll find in many modern Android phones, but older phones like the G1 don't have one. They could probably optimize it to run at full speed on phones like the G1, but they would rather recommend getting a newer phone. Even though most PSX emulators for the PC requires a minimum of a 200 MHz chip, and our phones have a 528 Mhz chip.
Really wish more emulator developers would develop on the Android. As it is, it seems like Android only has one person working on emulators for the Android.
It is installed on a class 4 sd card. Anyone has similar issue?
Try moving it to your internal memory. If it doesn't help, disable compcache and try again - and after taht if no luck yet, try clearing it's data.
I've not played it in a few weeks since I'm playing with ROMs.. But other people (@CM Forums) have said this helps them a bit.
The game is buggy itself, the phone is not a reason. I have the same Mytouch 3G, tried a lot of tweaks or methods described in different forums, but no effect, so the game is removed until a normal version comes out
There is an optimized version somewhere on the xda forums that gets rid of the ads and makes the game somewhat more playable on mytouch. It's being given out by Impaled.

The version Impaled dished out has ads again. The developer asked that he put them back in and he complied. I have the ad free version (b4 Impaled removed it) and my experience with it is the same: laggy and pretty much unplayable.
I think it has a lot to do with very little ram...
I downloaded the market gersion on my mytouch 1.2 and its laggy but playable.
But then again im using cm6.1, jit, comcache 18% and the vm heap size is 12m

I managed to install the game in the internal memory, but still slow.
i am still on 1.3.5 and with 28 radio it is alot better. get adfree, all my ads are gone.
or better yet like i posted in another thread before. Theres a game called Panda Vs Ninja its literally like Angry birds but runs perfectly smooth! Same gameplay just different characters.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=848701
Pandas versus Ninjas plays the same as angry birds on my phone. Playable, but slows down during particle effects and heavy physics processing. I have to close everything and turn my clockrate up for it to play perfect.
it would be funny if someone "skinned" it with angry bird textures/sounds.

hmmm when i play it , it runs smoothly and barely slows down.
and yeah that would be pretty neat for someone to skin it hahaha
I'm very picky when it comes to running games and I will discard a game even if it has slight choppiness. PvN does run better than AB in the like that when it slows down it seems to go into a smooth slo-mo as oppose to AB going into choppy slo-mo, when there is a LOT of physics processing going on.
PvN is great on my MT3G 1.2 (rooted w/ Universal Androot and running CM6.1 RC1) and I actually prefer this over Angry Birds, mainly becuase I like the theme. But I would also download if there were an AB skin.
For me newest version (1.4.2)of Angry Birds laggs to much, version 1.3.5 is still the best one working

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.

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.

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
