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.

I noticed earlier this week that none of Gameloft's HD games were available on their website for the Captivate, so I e-mailed them today asking when they (specifically NOVA and Modern Combat) would be made available for our phone and here is the response I received:
"Hi!
Thank you for your interest in Gameloft games. Unfortunately, we currently do not have any plans to add those game to support your device. This may change in the future so please visit our Website periodically for the latest information at gameloft.com"
Does anyone know if I can just select that I am with Sprint on an EVO during the purchase and receive and run the games just fine? I am guessing yes but I wanted to double check before I spent the money to buy the games.
(My phone is rooted and I have enabled non-market apps.)
Try it. You won't.

what a dumb a customer service. all the new HD or 3D games from companies work on the Vibrant. I have tested each of these games mentioned below. Not only do they run, they run smoooooooooooooth.
Sandstorm
Nova
3D Heavy Gunner
Skies of Glory
Real Football 2010
Hocky 2010
Homerun 3D
Asphalt 5
Raging Thunder 2
I have asphalt runs great
I won't say how I got it but you can imagine
I figured since I have the same game for iphone that it was ok just this once
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App
yep just select different phone that is supported, thats what I did. n.o.v.a runs great on my captivate. They need to get it together.saying a phone isn't supported when it runs the game better than the phones that are supported.lol
hmm gona have to try this out!
Asphalt and Nova work well
I have been playing Dungeon Hunter HD and it works great. Very smooth playback so far.
If you got to the website on your phone, atleast for me on the vibrant it will let you get some of the games. DO NOT get Hero of Sparta though because it causes Touchwiz to loop forever when you start up your phone.
Nova
Gangster
Assassins Creed
dungeon hunter
all worked fine for me though
Does it matter what phone you put in? I mean are they really different versions of the game? I'm assuming there's no variation, but...
For those of you getting these games on your Captivate, which phone are you putting in as the device when it asks you?
one warning here....Asphalt 5 is AWESOME but ONLY up to version 3.1.3. I am not sure what they did after that but they broke hardware acceleration.

I'm using 3.1.8 and it seems fine. Did it used to be even smoother? 3.1.8 seems smooth to me and it doesn't stutter or anything. Maybe they put a 30 fps cap or something?
It is a LOT smoother. Try finding 3.1.3 and then let me know. Yes 3.1.8 looks fine unless you have seen how much better it is with hardware acceleration.
I was hoping to make a video during the weekend and post it on youtube or something.
I have all these games and they run better on the galaxy S than the iPhone 4 or any other phone they're available for. This phone is so much more powerful and the absolutely stunning screen contrast knocks even the iPhone 4's screen when playing games.
do you have to be rooted? can i just buy it dl it from comp and sideload it using the wonder machine?
you should be able to do it without root. Btw it does matter which phone you pick, games are crippled for certain devices, forgot which ones. And uh, 3.1.8 asphalt is smooth as silk, give it a shot.
p.s. hows dungeon hunter hd? i looked at it but didnt know if it was worth the buy or not.

Um... I had 3.1.8 from the market. You may think it's smooth, as did I, but you won't truly see the light until you switch to 3.1.3.

Yeah mate, try 3.1.3 and then let us know if it really looks that smooth anymore? You will be VERY surprised at how smooth it can really be.
Unfortunately there is little hope gameloft will fix it but I contacted them anyway.

I have Asphalt 3.1.3. I can't get Nitrous to work most of the time. The button lights when I hit it, but Nitrous doesn't fire. On a random occasion, it does fire. Anyone else having this issue? I do have a screen protector on.

Nintendo DS Emulator got released for droid:
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.chaos.nds4droid&feature=search_result
I don't think it takes advantage of dual-core processors yet though, nor does it seem to be tablet optimized. Since it just got released its probably not very optimized at all, but hey it works!
I tried playing Pokemon Platinum and i found it too slow to play. Has anyone else had better luck with other games?

To get it to launch you have to put the xoom in portrait mode, then launch the app. It wont launch in landscape mode...lol
I'd be tempted to buy and backup just in case it gets removed from the market or something, and to support the dev's work on getting it optimized. But $6 is way too steep for a app before anyone's reporting it being playable yet.
Version 1.1.4, the latest at the moment I believe, launches on mine in portrait only also, but games are so slow.
In pokemon soulsilver, it took 5 minutes to get the character to take 3 steps left to walk downstairs from his room.
Also not keen about switching between buttons and touch screen all the time, but this is minor compared to the games running at a glacial pace.
But, ya, it is new and I'm sure the dev can squeeze a lot more out of it.
I cant seem to use the touchscreen when playing this...are you guys having issues with the touchscreen as well?
-.- tap the button on the top left and the touchscreen will be available to be used.
been out for ages. not news.

You do realize this thread was started April 6th?
Its better to not read a thread and make a snyde comment about it that adds nothing to the conversation, than it is to read the thread and say something worthwhile.
Sent from my Motorola "Hey, is that an iPad?" 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.
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

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!!

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.
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.
