What are some good games Aria ppl are trying? I know its small screen will deter some from playing games but it can handle alot.
I've been playing the Sims 3 for a while but I think there are some better graphic ones that it could do as well. The emulators are retro but has anyone tried psx4droid? Id like some feedback on that. MT3GS ppl say some psx games are laggy!

Well I know the screen is small so I found that you can use a wii controller.

You can do one of these with the WiiMote too! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6rxJq6tQVw8&feature=related
As far as games go, I haven't downloaded many. I like Traffic Jam tho. I probably won't install any emulators for a while. I'm having too much fun with customizations to have anytime for games haha.
Guitar Hero is great

have you guys actually tried this on your aria? Or are you saying it is possible. Because from what i've been reading/tried, it isn't.

Nah, I haven't tried it. I just thought it was pretty crazy and wanted to share the video.
yea, unfortunately... the bluetooth stack used in our phones are not compatible with the wiimote. So unless that changes, you're not going to have any luck using that particular remote.

Not true. I have hooked up my wiimote to play game boy advance games.
Things you will need:
1. Rooted phone.
2. CyanogenMod rom. Nothing with HTC Sense. Again if you are using Stock, Stock w/Root, or Liberated Stock it will not work.
3. Goto market, download "Wiimote Controller" by C.C.P. [email protected]
4. Follow Setup on the app. It will set up as another keyboard. Only useful for a handful of other apps, but like I said I use it for GBA
thanks for replying, i've been trying to find out if the cyanogen rom made changes to the bluetooth stack. Asked it twice and no resonce in that thread. Figures that I'd get an answer here lol.
This is good to know that it works when i make the switch from liberated to cyanogen

Thanks. It is awesome. I'm gonna try Gameboid later and see if I can get Advance Wars for it.
Guns 'n' Glory FREE is a great tower defense like game with a Western cowboys and indians twist. even the free version is hard enough to keep anyone entertained for a good while.
I like the games My Paper Plane 2, and Home run Battle 3D... The touch screen controls on the aria such too much for proper emulator gaming

Since not many people talked about the emulators, I guess I shall write a bit.
So I've been playing around with the emulators for the past week or so. I have the SNESoid, Gameboid, and PSX4droid emulators. Anyway first the SNES emulator. For the most part, games play pretty well. There is some occasional slowdown but not much. There is a bit lag though on games that use the SA-I processor (mario rpg and kirby super star). Sound on a few games are a little choppy but for the most part, it's decent. Just have to tinker with the settings. Games like super mario world (i have all stars) plays very well. Chrono trigger plays nicely too. I have close to 20 roms right now.
Next is the Gameboid emulator. I have a few roms for the gba emulator (FFI and FFII, and a gundam game, have tried a few others but decided to delete them lol..). I must say, the gba emulator runs the best. It's seems like the Aria hardware was made to play gba games lol. There's no lag whatsoever and the sound is great! I find it ironic because the gba had better hardware than the snes so you would think the snes roms would play better. I think later I'll try more roms like advanced wars or something.
Last is the PSX4droid emulator. Well let's just say it can play the games. First game I tried was chocobo racing. It was a little slow and the sound was bad. Then I tried digimon world 3. The game played well but a little slow and the sound was also bad lol. I'm going to try brave fencer musashi and warcraft II next. Both are currently being downloaded.
Oh btw...I suppose it would make a difference but during my gaming, I only had around 30-40mb of ram. Maybe I should've killed the other apps to gain more memory. I suppose it would run a bit better?
Angry birds beta is the funnest game i've played on the aria yet!

Good review, I've only tried snesoid thus far. Super mario rpg did see a bit of a speed up for me when I switched to cyanogen. I think I still had to set it to skip a 4 frame max though. The audio was fairly bearable then.

TigerMAME on the Gtablet plays CPS1, CPS2 and all Neo Geo games. It plays all games full speed with sound. Droid X chokes on games like Metal Slug and King of Fighters 99.
I have tested every rom for CPS1, CPS2 and Neo Geo over the weekend (really). EVERY game works perfectly.
Gamers need to get this ASAP TigerMAME 1.31 is curent version. The app sucked up until 1.3, but since then, it is amazing.
Proably best for the dev to rename it Final Burn, since more that than a true MAME.
A+ none the less!
i'm sorry but what exactly is tigermame? is it an emulator, i can't find it in the market.. also i got wiimote to work over the weekend and have been playing some games. my experience the games have been very laggy and choppy. my incredible plays them much better. i'm on zpad, i wonder if i'm doing something wrong or i'm on the wrong rom
I'd prefer a plain version of MAME instead. I like the older games versus the JAMMA (CPS, CPS2, NeoGeo) stuff.
I found it, I had to search mame not tigermame.
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App
Silly question, but how do you control the game? is it all on the touch screen?
Weird. I found Tigermame by typing "tiger" but have the near full market working.
TigerMAME is a multi arcade game emulator. This is more like Final Burn, whose focus is Capcom games (CPS1 & CPS2) and Neo Geo.
This app and PSX4Droid show how much more powerful the Tegra 2 is over the 3630 (Archos 70 & 101).
If you search for the game sets I refer to above, you can easily find lists and download links for the roms. Everyone of them works perfectly. For Neo Goe games, make sure to put the neogeo.zip file in the same directory as the game zips or Neo Geo games will not work (it is a bios file)
Touch screen is better than I thought it would be, but still no match for hardware inputs.
The app is free.
I also have psx emulator and it its laggy too. Maybe its the rom I'm on or maybe I need to reboot before I play. But yes the tegra2 should smoke the snap dragon.

1.7 version of PSX4droid is slow. Something is screwed up in it. I pulled 1.5 from an older Titanium back up. Twice as fast and not exaggeration.

I dont under stand how to complete setting it up
its asking me to specify a bios file (scph1001.bin) to play any games
I am a noob with this... anyone ...thank you

Just Google scph1001.bin for psx4droid and u should find it. Once u download it place it in your psx folder on Da SD card. Now when it asks u to get that file it should be in there
BUT WAIT, THERE'S MORE
in order to play psx games they have to be downloaded and extracted on a desk or laptop. Doing this from ur phone will cause the games to not download correctly. I don't know the exact step by step instructions but I do know what you need. U need a program that extracts the psx games. U can usually Google it and u should find something to help u with this. Than the most important part is finding a program called (UN ECM). Once u get done downloading and extracting ur game of choice, you then drag and drop it ON TOP of the UN ECM program wherever its located on ur computer. The reason for this because the program doesn't open, u can just drag and drop stuff on top of it. Once all that is said and done there should be a data.bin file wherever u originally saved the game. U can rename this file but don't delete data.bin, jus put game title prior to the word data. Once u do that, then put the game file in the psx folder on your Droid.
In order to be successful u should do research. The info I gave u is generally correct but hey, ur Da one that has to complete the task. Let me know how it works out. Good Luck

Thanks... I am looking more into it, its running .. looking for roms now
Sadly, the current version of PSX4Droid (1.7) is MUCH slower than 1.5 and 1.6. 1.5 seems the best version of the app for speed.
Games play a lot slower on 1.7, so not a good rep for the app and the Gtablet's performance. 1.5 version IS a good rep.
As far as TigerMAME, how the dev went from a bad app to one of the best in such a short time period and a few updates is amazing.
Every single game and rom version works perfectly for speed, graphics and sound.
1 CPS1
2 CPS2
3. Neo Geo
That is a few hundred real arcade games playing just as well on the Gtablet.... Though the V-pad is better than expected, it would be nice if a USB gamepad could be read.....
i tried running psx 1.5 but it does not load the bios that worked for 1.7. is there another bios or something?

Yep that's the one I use, not sure. I switched to tnt lite and it seems less laggy but it won't let me use wiimote so it's almost pointless.

For me, version 1.7 is slow on the Gtablet and super crazy slow on the Incredible. 1.5 is about twice as fast. I can get some good playtime with the v-pad, but playing platform games is an issue. Actually doing better than I thought with some games.
Correct though- we need the ability to use a game pad.
I'm trying to spark some interest as to why tnt is making us use their keyboard, there has to me a hack or a mod to fix this issue.

could you maybe post the apk if its the lite verison. ive been trying the find the apk for psx4droid 1.5 or 1.6 for so long, cus ive heard more than one person say this.
OK, I posted this in the old Angry Birds thread, but it got no comments, so I'm not sure anyone is paying attention to it anymore. Anyways, I'm so excited to have Angry Birds working properly finally, so thought I'd try to share again.
See this thread for details and download:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=904317
It works great for me on Floyo 1.2 with the latest OpenGL patch.
EDIT: The above link no longer works. The apk can now be downloaded at the following two links although I haven't checked to see if they are the exact same version (there have been a couple patched versions of this game).

Sent from my HTC Hero using XDA App
The thread I linked to in the first post has a patched version of Angry Birds with the missing textures added back in, but somehow optimized to still run at decent speeds. So you'll need download and install the apk from that thread.
The newest version of OpenGL may or may not have any effect on gameplay. I just mentioned that I was using it in case it does make a difference for some.
yep working really well on elelinux 6.2

It is missing (the ground like a horizontal strip under the catapult) but I was assuming that since I am using an ad blocker and that's where the ads would go.... right?
Nope, it only happens on the Hero, tryed it on a Lg and the ground texture is there.
Angry birds will never run on the Hero
Without the textures, i.e. "fixed" version, even I get lag, and I have a processor that will happily sit at 748 when needed...

So they've been saying ever since the beta came out. then the full version came out and it was a little better. Then it was updated and made it 10x worse and then they got bored and released seasons...
Still though. Lets hope! Ive gone off angry birds lately anyway, Ive completed it (even with a tiny bit of lag on this version) so unless there are new levels in the reworked official release then I wont be needing it.
Shame really that xda members can crack on at it faster
Thread above is down - any possibility to get a patched Version of it?
Rovio has said that they will be releasing a Hero friendly version of Angry Birds shortly, so be patient and hopefully an official working version will be available in the Market soon.
I seem to have deleted the apk for the patched version anyways, so I can't post it up. Sorry.
I'm aware that the game compatibility thread covers emulation.
But I thought I'd make a thread to specifically discuss playstation emulation.
I downloaded psx4droid 3.0.0 from the dev site, but it doesn't work on my Xoom, just closes when I open an iso, and says running in the task bar. But doesn't do anything. If you click on it, it closes.
A google search says that 3.0.1 is available, but their site seems to be down at the moment.
I tried FPse, with changing the settings. It worked. But the set to small screen doesn't stick. Have to reset it each time.
And I can't get the wii controller to work with it.
Anyone have any luck?
Found a download for psx4droid 3.0.1 from an alternate source, because zodttd still seems to be down. And the problem is the same. Assign a bios file, have 2 different ones, and then launch an iso or bin file and the app closes and a message comes up in the task bar at the bottom, if you click on it, it brings you back to iso selection.
Well im glad I'm not the only one.. thought maybe it was a bad game file
Yea, this is going to be hard for zodttd because he even stated himself on his site that he doesn't have the new latest android devices so he is doing the best he can with what he has...which to be honest I am amazed he is even still working on it after it got taken off the market.
Oh, and p.s. his site seems to be back up for now: http://www.zodttd.com/wp/
I use FPSE. In landscape, full screen with screen filtering and the enhanced sound emulation at 0 frameskip I play Mortal kombat mythologies, trilogy, and castlevania symphony of the night at full speed no problem. overclocked 1.5 ghz.
I've also got the same problem with psx4droid. I'm gonna try fpse right now.

All you have to do with FPSE and the screen size issue is tab out and tab right back in. It is a minor bug that the developer will hopefully address soon.
You will only have to do this once when loading the emulator.
Also make sure you have HLE mode disabled if you are intending to use the emulator with a proper BIOS.
FPSE isn't as polished overall as psx4droid, but I have found it to handle games a little better. I couldn't get past the first Quistis cutscene of FF8 with psx4droid but maybe this has been corrected now.
I have both psx4droid(only rom tested was metal gear solid) and fpse working on my xoom. I disabled compatibility in spare parts if that may affect it.
Sent from my Xoom using XDA Premium App
FPse for Android is a really solid Playstation Emulator. Its a paint to get started since the Roms arn't 4MB like N64 and Snes . But once you get through that its very enjoyable.
I also use FPse with the wiimote controller.
Makesure you set the wiimote to the active input keyboard, or it wont work in fpse.
Just checked the site and they've released 3.0.5. It specifically states it's compatible with the Xoom. I installed it and i'm trying it out now.
Yeah...still doesn't work...
fpse doesn't work for me at all...any attempt to disable HLE mode just results in a force close for the next action I attempt, and games won't run with it on either, so I'm kinda stuck. Does this happen to anyone else? I'm running fpse v0.10.39.
Edit: Actually, nevermind. I updated to 10.41 and it's great now, but I can't get that custom overlay working. What am I doing wrong...
Looks like I'm grabbing a classic controller and loading up some metal gear solid for my lunch breaks ha

i'm not too sure about the resolution. You can turn on graphics filtering but tends to lag the crap out of some games. I think it mostly looks the way it should though. PS1 games were very jaggy, even the sprite based ones.
Maybe it's just a Rose tinted view of the past which is making me remember better graphics in wipeout? Man I must have spent a whole year of uni playing that damn game!!

Anyone know how to fix the lag on an N64 emulator on this thing. I've read its suppose to run smooth on anything higher than a single core processor. Some forums said that you need to over clock but we don't have custom kernels yet. Maybe I downloaded the wrong emulator, can anybody help. I want to play jet force Gemini on this thing.

Hello there! Despite what you may want to believe, you are still using an emulator! Emulators aren't perfect, and you may not be able to play all games properly! Hell, I myself had issues with Zelda when I tried it on my PC a few years back!
If you want the perfect emulator for N64 that can play all the games that you throw at it, then walk into a store and ask for an N64. That's your best bet.
