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.
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?

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
I have tried both and even at 768 MHz with JIT disabled or enabled, I get massive lag playing any game only while pressing something on the virtual keyboard. If I don't press any buttons, games look like they run very smoothly, sound and all. But of course to play any game, you need to be holding one of the controls constantly. As soon as I press or hold any virtual key, my frame rate drops so much it becomes unplayable. I tried disabling haptic feedback on the virtual keypad, no effect.
I tried Super Mario World (snesoid), Donkey Kong Country (snesoid), and Super Mario Bros. 3 (nesoid)...
I just want to know if I'm the only one having these lag issues.
If anyone asks: yes, I own these original cartridges
I also had lag on the nesoid. Couldn't really play anything. I have tried all different settings and still had lag

Same issue so I just stick to monolopy now... completely unplayable
Bleh, and I've read that people don't have any lag with G1 (might be thanks to hardware keyboard) or Cliq XT (has no hardware keyboard, and same processor as us!)...
i've tried all of the hero's 2.1 and 2.2 roms and hve had snesoid/nesoid/gensoid/supergnes and they run fine on all the roms i've tried. currently im running zenhero and same thing, no lag whatsoever. i have not messed with any settings. just installed and played. also, im using the stock kernel for the sense roms. i noticed that whenevr you use a custom kernel and OC a sense rom than the lag on games is unbareable! that may be yalls problem. i always use "caligo chaser" for testing the lag on games. runs flwlessly on sense roms with stock kernel. but as soon as i flash a custom kernel....lag from hell!! anyways.... thats my 2 cents, hope thats helps you guys out
Hey, can anyone verfy that? If thats true then ill nand back to my non-oc'd rom.

download the caligo chaser demo and try playing it. if your on an OC'd sense rom then it should be laggy. if so then make another nandroid (just incase) and then nandroid back to your non OC'd rom and play the caligo chaser demo. $100 it will run almost perfect on the non OC'd rom
OK, so hang on... is what you're saying about custom kernel and OC only relevant to Sense ROMs? This is what I got from your posts...
A) If You have a Sense ROM, you need to run the original kernel. Hmm I actually wonder if this kernel would work, since it is built from the HTC Hero kernel source
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=750170
B) AOSP ROM should not lag in general
Is this right?
WOW thanks for the advice, cp0020!!!
Indeed after I flashed the kernel I posted above, almost all lag was gone, even during multitouch button pressing... thanks so much!!

lol no problem man. did you use caligo chaser to test it on? it should run damn near perfect on sense with stock kernel. and the lagginess crap is kinda weird, no lag with caligo chaser on the DD 2.7 and darch's froyo, which are OC'd by default. but when i flashed the blackmod theme the games(caligo chaser) was laggy again, just by applying the theme it made the games laggy. so its just kinda retarted. so whenever i flash a rom, i just stick with whatever kernel came with it
I can also confirm that using ZenKernel the lag on nesoid is gone.
I had this problem too on Fresh Rom, but now I switched to Zenhero and it runs great, I still get minimum lag though. =(

Maybe you know what I have to with my HTC Magic (Rogers Sense 2.1) to play a nesoid etc. without lags? Is there any ZenKernel-like for Magic?
I'm bored so much everyday something has broken.
With stock rom I can't play dungeon defenders with my PowerSGX 540
And with sucked balls iphone is smooth on this game.
With CM7 browser is laggy and stock kernel is so poor. Look fps in quadrant. F...k quadrant score but just look what a poor fps. After flashing glitch kernel dungeon defenders is so smooth but now it brings millions of bugs.
And now accelerometer doesn't work great it lags on CM7 or MIUI with all type of kernels. And these days are end of gingerbread. We still don't have a great gingerbread or froyo.
I have a great GPU chip great CPU chip I will put all of them into my somewhere. F...k samsung sorry for offtopic I bored so much.
Now CM9 will come with a big "0". Fix bugs fix bugs fix bugs ... And CM10 + a big 0 fix bugs fix bugs.
When can I use this sh*t?
My next phone will be a Windows Phone 7.5 or something. SGS FOR SALE.

To those joking with OP...can you guys name one gingerbread firmware released by Samsung that is not laggy..buggy etc etc.
Well I'm using the following combination and it works like a charm!
ODEXED Stock JVR + CF-Root + Thunderbolt 1.9 60MB LMK + Arc Launcher 2.0.
I've got pretty high FPS in games and Quadrant scores are like 2400 - 2500.
Maybe you should try it? I'm playing 9mm wich is a 1.6GB game and works pretty good!
I don't play games that often in mobile,might try the above mentioned combo. I need a firmware that works,trusty alarm clock,etc.Samsung does not give a damn about the bugs on recent firmwares that's the reason i feel with the thread starter.

Just tried out Dungeon Defenders. Got real laggy the first time I played at wave 3 of the first level but I restarted and it ran perfect after that. Pretty fun game. Shame if I have to restart every time though as I usually only restart when I install new kernels and stuff or go for weeks of up time.
Big bottleneck with this phone is lack of RAM, and Dungeon Defenders wants a lot of it. It says 256 MB free required, well that's tough with 330-350 MB usable. I run Semaphore bigmem with 352 MB RAM (with stock JVT odexed) and I noticed after exiting the game that 205MB was free (in the 'manage applications' 'running' tab) and I'm guessing the game was using most of that. It's a very demanding app though, most run just fine. The only problems with RAM I've had previous to this is that if do lots of stuff Slacker in the background will get killed from time to time and that may have been due to LMK settings that I was using at the time.
SGS is a great phone but it would be even better if Samsung had given us 512MB usable RAM, then programs that need 250MB would run no sweat. Seems like 1GB of RAM is going to be required real soon for people that want to run the demanding games. My SGS has served me well but I'll be eyeing the new phones with 1GB in the new year. Shame because other than the RAM, and perhaps SD card speed but that is more of a want than a need, I could easily hold off until the following year.

Theres no need to bash someone like that. He's got a valid point in terms of games and the lags inspite of the superb hardware our phone has. After all this hardcore specs...gingerbread released by samsung is ****...yeah i know theres CM7...but come on...lets just talk about phone thats just out of the box...
i also just downgraded to froyo 2.2.1 jsd yesterday...its awesume for playing games......and i also applied supercharger script...i get lot of free ram.....
i had also tried jpk but jsd is awesume...
Well, every time I exit 9mm wich is a very demanding game, I get like 179 free ram. Also, the ARC launcher is very optimized to run on low ram (wich makes it lightweight) and doesn't redraw like TouchWiz 3 bull****.
I can't try Dungeon Defenders couse I'm out of internal SD storage all because I have a lot of games installed on my 8GB version xD.
Quadrant scores mean little to nothing in reality though.
Whole thread should change the topic to:
I'm very disappointed because I had no idea what I'm buying and what for I will use it.
well, for me riptide gp, dungeon defenders, shadowgun etc. run perfectly on jvt+doctorz rom v9+thunderbolt tweaks 1.9.1 50 lmk+loopy tweaks+semaphore kernel 1.8.2 at 1200mhz and they are like butter on 1300mhz. u can say my sgs has a bit of a better processor then most sgs out their. i get 4000 quad. easily with this combo. i am very satisfied with gingerbread and i believe windows phone 7 doesnt even these high graphic games so its just a waste of money to move on windows phone or even ios.
I've been noticing lately since flashing gingervolt 2.0 that i get lag quite a bit when playing games even simple ones like angry birds or world of goo as well as just when im scrolling between homescreens or opening or using apps. When I had gingervolt 1.3 with the supercharger script running my phone ran even faster then stock. Like it should. Especially after using setcpu to overclock it to 1.5ghz. Anyone else experience this or have a solution

I am currently running at 1.5ghz actually, cause it seems to be the best balance between Speed and Battery-Life.
If anyone can tell me how to remove the blitzkrieg script itself without having to remove GV 2.0, that would be great. Also, if someone could let me kno if the SuperCharger script will play nice with the Blitzkrieg script, so that way i can just run em both, that would be cool too.

If you want to get rid of the blitz kernel just look in the dev section for the stock kernel. I can't comment on the supercharger because I refuse to use it.

I think that there just has to be too much taking up my system resources and making my phone run slow cause those games should run smooth on my phone. Especially if I set the CPU @ 1.9ghz (I normally run it @ 1.5ghz) whatever it is its annoying the hell outta me and I want to get to the bottom of it so I can get back to enjoying games on my phone.

I'm running 1.3 with supercharger script (I believe?) because I have been monitoring the 2.0 thread, and some things stood out for me as potential red flags. Saying that, I purchased "Bejeweled" and it plays brilliantly for about 20 minutes before it turns into the ultimate lag fest. It actually makes my phone look like it's locked up, and the phone produces heat at higher levels than normal.
Most of my racing games hiccup in strange places as well, making them near unplayable (which means I have never tested them up to the 20 minute mark).
Something is definitely off, and I wouldn't be afraid to blame this on the device itself. Heat and response times of this CPU seem to be hit or miss, but so far, on anything semi-strenuous, it appears to be mostly miss.
Anyone else have a different experience? If so, what are you running?
Well when I was playing games on this phone when it was just stock rooted it ran fine and when I has GV 1.3 flashed it ran fine. But ever since flashing GV 2.0 with the blitkrieg kernel it has started lagging out randomly. Its not constant but its more so then it should be. Like I said. When I had GV 1.3 installed. It played games perfectly smooth and when I was jst stock rooted and stock un-rooted it ran perfectly smooth as well. And like I said I'm my last post. I think part of it is I just have s lot of widgets and apps running so they are taking a lot of my system resources up and not leaving much memory for running games and what not. Therefore causing it to lag off and on
