Psx4droid

Hey fellow gamers. With the recent updates to psx4droid game compatibility has improved quite a bit imo. There are also a few more tweaking options in the settings.
I was wondering if anyone here has played around with them to find the most compatible settings, primarily metal gear solid. Most other games I play work great without changing any settings. Also any tips you might have as far as best kernal/rom combo that works well for you. I'm currently on serendipity 2.0 with the speedmod kernal.
Thanks for any *constructive* comments!

I've been playing around with PSX4Droid for quite a while now, and I have to say that while compatiblity has improved drastically with V2, speed has gone down significantly.
I'm running the latest Cognition Froyo build right now, and while FFVII, FFIX, Xenogears and Diablo all run with no glitches, they run extremely poorly.

Thanks for the response, have you tried changing the precise cdrom or cycle multiplier to see if anything improves? Playing Resident Evil 3 right now myself and it does very well, possibly due to the pre rendered backgrounds... Just wishing metal gear wasn't so choppy.

You know what, I just installed the latest Serendipity build today with Glitterball's OC/UV kernel, and FFIX runs absolutely perfectly now. It's actually pretty surreal. This has been the first time where I haven't had a single glitch.
The game will start with some audio lag, but it clears after a few minutes of gameplay. I would try Metal Gear for you, but I don't have an ISO handy. I'll convert my copy to an ISO when I have time and give it a shot.
edit: Yeah, I gave MGS a shot and it has quite a few audio problems, but gameplay is fairly playable. A lot more audio issues than most games I've tried though.

Wow, this sounds great. I'd love to play Gran Turismo on my phone!

I've actually read that disabling the music can speed it up on older phones, had no effect for me though perhaps I will swap a few different kernals and see if there is a considerable difference.

Glitterball's kernel probably works so well for me just because it's an OC/UV kernel. My Captivate's processor runs at 1.2ghz with it on.

Oh I have done my fair share of flashing lol usually twice a week if new stuff keeps coming out.
Anybody else having success with roms and or kernals?

Yep the latest version is running very nicely indeed although even OCed teken 3 is not quite there yet....not that you can really play it with onscreen controls (damn you Samsung for this Bluetooth) but as a performance measure.

I second that. The new sony android phone with the psp slide out controller looks quite appealing.

I think those would work on any capacitive touchscreen device, so long as the touch buttons on the emulator are the right size for the joystick.

Yeah hopefully there are some for cheap..... I think it should work.

due to valid forum rules that can't be posted. Just google it.

It even says when you open PSX4DROID WHERE to DL the BIOS.
People need to learn how to read.

psx4droid compatibility wiki
A link to the wiki for those interested in helping out. I take absolutely no credit for this (except for a few entries)
I just played Resident Evil 3 all the way through, ran flawlessly.

My psx playing ff7 is horrible with the latest updates... 1.0.8 was the best for me.

Mediasonic Blackbox Touch Stylus Brush Pen

Has anyone tried using this pen with the gtab? Or heard any news about suitabilty.
Also any drawing apps to recommend using sketcher at present but new ideas welcome.

Just tried it on my gtab. Absolute garbage. Incredibly disappointed. Even the sales guy said out didn't work very well on his blackberry.

Anyone know of a good "working" bittorrent client?

I'm using mTorrent Lite for when im connected to WiFi. Works great. Obviously not suggested when on 3G.

what about something like PeerGuardian/equivelant to go along with it?

I'm using mtorrent as well but only getting 1mb sec load speed. I have 4 meg DSL.. shouldn't it be at 400k a sec?

In the same vein, has anyone seen a usable Usenet app?

I'm trying to use mtorrent but every time I try to add a torrent, nothing happens. It keeps saying to add a torrent. How is everyone else using mtorrent.

I use NewzDroid and it does exactly what I expected it to. They also make the software Unrar and Unrar Pro... it would be really nice if they would just integrate the applications together though.
I see that there is now another offering on the Market called Droid NewzLeecher (which appears to have some pretty bad reviews)

The app that I use is ttorrent and I love it. I have tried all of them and this one is by far the best. I get speeds on average of 250kb/s but that might be due to the speed of my wifi connection.

I don't have a Xoom, but on my Nexus One I use the free uTorrent remote app. This is not torrenting on the phone, it torrents to my home computer running uTorrent. However, the app allows you to download the files from your home computer once they are completed. It is a very clean app and works great on my phone, so if it runs on the Xoom and that way of doing things works for you, it might be a great solution.

I'm aBTC on my desire. Give it a go.

swarm is one of the best clients i've seen, but it is $5.

MAC Bluetooth Keyboard working w/ gTab = AWESOME!

Just wanted everyone to know I bought one of the Mac keyboards from bestbuy today and after some setting up its great! Its the perfect size, looks nice and is high quality. Paired it up with the gTab using 0000, then got some files from another post, put them into the right folder with root explorer and set permissions. Got my keyboards mac address, used a script another member wrote and put a shortcut on my home screen to run the script whenever I want to sync the keyboard. Super easy and VERY nice!
highly recomended

any way to do this on the Droid Incredible?

How in any way was the OP relevant to HTC Incredible accessories?

Good question, will this work for dinc2?
On a related note, I will test out a menotex by keyboard tonight.

VNC (Server) for Bionic??

Are there any client (pc)/server (phone) apps that work for VNC on this phone? I keep getting a crooked screen and would LOVE to fix this
Tony

Team viewer works nicely and has mac, pc, and android versions. Just make sure you set the forced password or you have to ask client every time to read it to you. There are free and paid versions I use the paid in the office because it works so well cross platform (both free and paid) oh also set as startup item on the client or you will have to make the client launch it.

I don't think you understood what I said.
I want the phone to be the server and the desktop to be the client.
In other words, I want to take my phone over from VNC. All the clients that I have tried so far end up with a 70-80 degree crooked screen when I view my phone from my laptop.

Ahhh, I see my bad man I stared at it for a second too. well I have no real suggestions then sorry I looked on the market and did a quick google search but I found only 2 which im sure you already tried. One has lost all dev support and reported to not work on ATRIX so not much hope there and a beta on the market im sure you have seen. Sorry man.
