I am useing Snesoid with my wii motes and it works amazing. The trick is to find good rom files.

Going to bump this thread instead of starting a new one... I've just purchased a Xoom, and went to move over my emulators from my Evo. If I restore from Titanium Backup (backed up on my Evo) to my Xoom, I get FC's, however it seems that the Gensoid emulator and the Gearoid emulator both have been removed from the market (even after paying for the full version). I've been able to successfully restore the rest of them from the market, and they're working properly, though neither of the two above are working properly.
I restored the apps WITHOUT restoring the data for them.
Any ideas?

I am using FPse and psx4droid v2 for my PSX one. v3 of psx4droid does not work for me where v2 works great. Also using N64oid for my N64 roms, for SNES i am using SNesoid. All of which i am using a OTG cable for the 360 adapter so i can use my wireless 360 controller. I was using the Wiimote for awhile but just didn't like the button setup on it. the 360 controller works great. only buttons not working are the L and R tiggers and the bottom stick. all other buttons work no problems. Do a search for the apks for those programs on google and you should find the apks for them.

GBCoid, Gameboid, N64oid, and Fpse all seem to run pretty good, so any of those.
GBCoid and Gameboid both have a free light version
Fpse is about $6 or so, and its a psx emu incase u didnt know.
N64oid when you can find it in the market is about $6

Surprisingly they all work well. SNESoid, GBAoid, and N64oid. Just use Rom Fetcher (Classic) and you're good. However not alot of roms work well on N64oid but mario kart 64 and mario 64 work okay. On screen keyboard works well for most. Need to get an adapter for my 360 controller.

No one has said anything to help with my issue... I have the emulators, but the Gensoid and Gearoid are gone from the market... I restored them, but they FC every time. Help?

Really the only other option you have is to google around and find an apk that works. I got gensoid before it was out of the market, and it works on the xoom, so I know there is a version that works. The version I have is 2.4.3 and it never gives me problems.

Same version I've got.
Edit: seems to work after installing again. Weird.

there is a weird audio sync issue in the video but it's youtube's fault, not the xoom's.

Does anyone know of a good MAME emulator that can play classic arcace roms on the xoom?

Havent tried it yet since I have no idea what MAME is but it seems to have some good reviews.

all of yongzh's apps were removed from the market, but he has posted them all on slideme including an updated n64oid and gensoid 2.4.3. He also mentions that he is doing a big overhaul of n64oid, which sounds terrific.

Playstation emulation on Xoom

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.

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

Yea, version 3 doesn't work on the Xoom. However, psx4droid v2 1.1.2 works flawlessly. Ask Google for help finding it. I'm on disk 3 of Final Fantasy IX

FPSe (latest version) is running pretty smoothly on my Xoom; tested it with Final Fantasy 7, 8 and 9 and I'm getting pretty good performance .

Using 0.10.43 and BIOS scph1001
Streetfighter collection and wipeout running well. Just wish they'd boost the resolution a bit for the new tablets. Or correct me if I'm wrong but this is def lower res than a ps1, isn't it?
Sent from my MZ604 using Tapatalk

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!!

[Q] N64 on a Tablet - Yes, Please?

Okay, I might just be bringing up old news, but seriously who doesn't want old school games on our tablets?
So here goes.. I am taking a flight overseas and need something to do besides movies, music, and angry birds on my 2hr+4hr+8hr flights to get to my destination.
Does anyone know of an emulator for N64? There was one for a short period of time on the market: N64oid by good ol' yongzh. Are there others? Do I just have to wait patiently, hoping for the day N64oid will return to the market?
Now I am not worried about the legal stuff, as I still own three or four games I plan playing on my trip.
Did anyone even try N64oid on the Gtab/Roms while it was out?
Final thoughts: Games I want to play (what were your fav's?)
-Zelda(s)
-Banjo Kazooie
-Starfox
-Mario Kart =D
-Goldeneye
-Turok (<---dare I even say?)

It worked great on my gtab.
I played Ocarina of Time, Starfox, Mario 64 and kart without any issues. Don't forget to bring a wiimote for your trip!

Will game pads work with n64oid. I just played golden eye and it was a pain trying to play by tapping the touch buttons. Still awesome to play golden eye on my gtab!

Roms4droid . Com
Has all of the good 64 roms. I just played golden eye. They have turok, Zelda. Anything you can think of. I downloaded the n64oid emulator v 2.4.4. Not sure if it's on that site but I google it.

I still have the n64oid emulator, but it really isn't playable until they fix it up.
I looked and worked great, however the ROM would crash periodically (every 5-10 minutes). This was very inconvenient so I will just wait until the new n64oid version is released.

Sure seems to work fine for me. Using Vegan 5.1 and pershoots kernel. I use wiimote and have a dock out to my Sony Bravia. Have not tried a ton of games yet, but all in all, it works. Anyone tried the Pcie emulator?

I'm not sure what my problem is then. It depends on the game I guess. MarioKart 64 never crashes, but Ocarina of Time crashed to the select ROM screen as soon as I entered the Deku Tree.
But xmr405o said he didn't have issues with Ocarina of Time, so I'm not sure what the issue is.

That kind of random instability is the reason why it was removed from the market in the first place. There were a flood of 1-star ratings from people with issues like yourself.

Yeah I figured that's why they removed it. It puzzles me how people are running it with no issues though.

What version of the n64oid are u running? There were issues with ocarina before but the last one he put out fixed most of the issues. No issues with the deku tree is all good. It might be the rom too.

the dev told me that he plans on putting it back in the market once fixes are made. funny thing about those 1 star reviews is that he did say in the description that it may not work well on all devices and only some games will work. i have no problem playing Mario 64 on either my nook or my gtab tho the wiimote is prefered than touchscreen. had it on my epic and only got like three games to work. mario 64, zelda orciana, and i believe starfox. the dev is amazing tho and i'm sure he will get things all worked out soon.
if looking for some old school gaming check out his other emulators

What was that latest n4oid version?

I have been putzing around with N64oid version 1.3 and Zelda: Ocarina... it works, mostly. If anyone knows of another version or another emulator app, I could sure use it. I don't know if it's my TnT 4.4 and I just need to upgrade, or if it's the N64oid itself.

Thought I would bump this thread. All of Yongzh's emulators got pulled from the market today and he made the full versions of all of them available for free (EDIT: except N64oid) download on Slide Me. This includes N64oid. I just got it running on my gTab and its beyond awesome.
Here is the link to Yongzh's profile on Slide Me, all of the emulators can be found here:
https://slideme.org/user/yongzh
EDIT: Just checked slide me again and its not free anymore. All the other emulators are but n64oid is $0.30. Oh well.

psx emulator

I just got psx4droid working on my epic on Sunday. Then I switch to nexus and see around that the psx4droid app doesn't work on gingerbread. Upset. I got like 15 games on my phone. Before I download. Does fpse work on gingerbread?
Or is there something else?
Thanks.

Yes FPSE is better than psx4droid and he got very good performance
Sorry for my english

FPSE is much better than psx4droid. Highly recommended.

Psx4droid ran fine on my Nexus running 2.3.3. Just make sure you're downloading the latest version. I actually found it to outperform Fpse out of the box when playing Final Fantasy 7. I guess it really depends on the game.

Well after having some market troubles with the authorizing purchase loop for 3 hours finally got fpse. Works great. Love it.
Psx4droid didn't worm for me on 2.3.4. I thought I had the newest update I dont have it anymore to confirm. I got it straight fom the site.

Psx4droid works fine for me, make sure you're using good bios files, maybe try downloading another bios file and see if that fixes things. Roms run without a quirk as well!

Do you know how to adjust the sensetivity of the controlls? There's no over shoot for the buttons and sometimes it doesn't register the press. Very annoying.

Free emulators (n64, snes, genesis, nes, gba, gbc, gg, and atari 2600) until ??

Hi all, I just noticed that slideME market has subject emulators for free until 2 weeks from 29 May, which places today as the last day? but is still showing up free. A few more days for N64oid which is absolutely awesome on gTablet!
https://slideme.org/user/yongzh
BTW, Snes9x EX is always free on the market place and the tiger emulators are also, but these are much better than tiger emulators and NINTENDO 64!!!
After playing around with Snesoid, Snes9x EX has better compatibility.

Got mine! Thanks for the heads up!

Have any of you got Zelda Ocarina of Time working? Mine loads plays for like 5 minutes then resets.

So far I haven't had luck with n64 roms. Conkers bad fur day stops before it gets to the title screen and forsaken didn't even load.
Snes emu works great and I have had the gba emu for about a year. Both work on 100% of roms and play great with my wiimote.

I can't get any of the emulators to work, am I doing something wrong?? I am on Illuminate 1.2.

Thanks for letting me know, I was about to hit the sack too

Many things don't work on honeycomb yet, Its still an alpha rom. Couldn't tell you if something is wrong or if its the rom.

Both Zeldas work for me, but I'm on VegaN TAB 5.11 due to its compability with Plants vs Zombies.
Conker's BFD does not load pass "Nintendo".
Forsaken works.

I will try now that I am on CM7 it didn't work on one of the other roms I can't remember which.

Im on CM 7.03 and i can tell you vigalante 8's graphics are all screwy, most of the images don't display, but the game loads. Its the only game I've tried though.

looks like all these emulators were pulled from the market, I already had the lite versions except the N64 one since there was no lite version for it

Great post, thanks for the heads up, I'll check out the snes and N-64. Just looking at it makes me content

Thanks for the heads up! Downloaded.

<3 Thank you very much for the link, this is the ONLY GBA emulator that has worked on gingerbread for me so far
