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?
Sent from my T-Mobile myTouch 3G Slide using XDA App
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
Has anyone tried the N64oid on the gtablet yet? Any impressions from gtab users? It's in the market now.

I'm gonna buy it today so I can play some Conkers Bad Fur Day. I'll let you know!
I got it, will test it during lunch, I tried running it on my Droid 1, choppy but playable. Lets hope it flys on the Gtab when I get home.
Hey thanks six. I've been following it in the market looks like they fixed a few of the sound problems and other things....I might just jump on it too, this weekend. But ill wait for u haha.
Can you please let me know if it supports any other input methods,like wii mote. I would think it would be a ***** to play with the on screen keyboard.
The program is great!!!
The only issue I have is that the framerate is way to fast (didn't expect that), so the game play (at least for mario 64) is like mario on crack. I hope I can figure out a way to slow the framerate.
It does support the wiimote!

Sorry guys! Yes it's awesome!!! Especially on the G-tab, my 2 yr old and I have been playing Mario 64 and Mario Cart 64 like crazy! Well worth the money! Great in combo with "rom gripper ++"! It does run a bit fast on some games, but I am very pleased with this considering I bought all the *oid emulation apps for me and the kids, well mainly me. The on screen controller took a bit getting used to but wasn't so bad after a while. Yep wii remote will work.
any idea if a xbox wired controller works???

I doubt that would work. But the wiimote works. Too bad two player games can't be played on one screen, at least not that I know of.
I can't find it. . . I search n64oid and it doesn't come up. . .
Super Mario 64 ,Mario mart, and pokemon stadium 2 no issues.
Starfox sound goes away during gameplay but the game plays great besides that.
Pokemon stadium intro plays but that's it. Excite bike 64 is a no go. That's all I tested.
Not bad for an early release.
Hell yes! Was actually trolling online recently for an n64. Mine got stollen my Meth heads a few years back and I miss it and my perfect collection of classics. If I can play Tetrisphere and conkers bad fur day with the wii mote I will be in heaven, and be able to keep a little more cash in my pocket. Those systems can be expensive now. Apparently all the stoners up here in the Northwest have a death grip on their n64s and wont give them up for cheap.

I still have my n64 somewhere in a box. I never did get rid of it and I wouldn't either. Maybe those stoners aren't that stoned after all.
I have been using an N64 emu on PC & laptop for quite a few years now and have at least "a few" roms. Result is I have roms that are verified to work.
Seems not many games work well with this emu yet, but some that do:
Super Mario
Bust a Move 99 / 3DX, 2
Diddy Kong Racing
Mario Kart
That is about it so far that I tested. All others tried either play slower, strobe off and on or backgrounds go black. If you like the games above, the app is good right now.
I have tried several dozen roms so far and the ones above are the best.
BTW, The games play half the speed on Incredible, so even slower.
This seems a beta release and $7 is a bit steep.
Update:
Sadly, the dev is following the same trend as with his PSX emu and each update makes the app WORSE.
Some games that worked do not now and games are a lot slower with the update from today. A lot now crash before even playing. BAD update.
I only wish there was a free version so I could test it out.
Anyone knows if it would run well overclocked at 768 MHz?

Yikes. This is exactly why I'm not so sure about paying $7 on something that might not even run on my Ally. And the 15 minute refund window probably isn't enough time to judge, either.
Works pretty good for me so far, tried Mario 64, Zelda Ocarina, and Goldeneye, all worked at normal speed with good sound. Donkey Kong 64 starts but controls won't work, assuming a bad ROM.
As I type, my Son is playing Mario 64 with the latest update. No issues whats so ever. Thanks for the heads up guys!!!!
THIS IS WHAT IVE BEEN WAITING FOR!!! (well this and full version of firefox) It seems to run great on my gtab, super mario 64 is so fast its funny, on the other hand Golden eye 007 runs at just about the right speed.
Just checked the description. G-sensor as analog. I might try this.

Mario 64 runs fine on my gtab but I can't get golden eye to run lol. Wanna trade??? Jk
The newest version of the app is slower, compared to the previous version, so not sure what version you folks are using. Same trend as with his PSX efforts.
Trust me, in the previous versions performed much better. it seems he got rid of the auto frame-skip and the current frames skip method does a bad job.
You really notice it on the Snapdragon (Incredible). Slower version.
Update:
I see what he has done now with the newest update. He has adjusted compatibility to be better for some games, but the net impact is slower performance. Hope he finds a balance
Don't get me wrong I think Android is great but I think it lacks a lot compared to the games for Iphone.
Why havn't the Devs come along and built the same type of QUALITY games for android that they have done for Iphone?
I have just sat for about an hour and hunted in the Android market for games similar to games ive just searched for on the itunes store, and all I can really find is cheap nasty replicas with bad graphics,shocking reviews and even scamming copies of certain games Zombies WAW is one thats on the market now.
Does anyone think/know if the gaming quality will be ever be as good as the Iphone, becasue I hate Iphones and it would kill me to get one to just play decent games.
Hmm, doubt it.

Why searching the same games? If I want to play iphone like games no doubt the best choice is....iPhone.
Android is the first operating system on phones in the world, and if you want good games you can have plenty... Android is not ios so don't think you'll find the same apps.

+1 for that. Android has many great games. for examples, games made by gameloft have nice graphics. Or from Pocket Legends. Cut the Rope (similar to iOS) also nice, angry birds, etc. Or my other favorite puzzle/mystery games such as mystery of the crystal portal, paranormal agency, etc. Many great games. Maybe it's because there are many more free games in android, many developers just upload crappy games. But if u want to search games that may (or may not) resemble iphone, u'll be pleasantly surprised at the results. Some android phones have better hardware than iphone. So, I guess there'll be many games that u'll love as long as u can find them.
The iphone is the most popular phone in the world.
Game companies want to make the most money possible.
They choose Apple over Android.
...
mega profit?
That is the only reason. That, and the fact that they only have to make one version of said game that will work on pretty much ALL apple devices, whereas, a decent looking Android game wont work on phones without GPU's, which is probably around 40-odd% of all Android phones on the Market.
Eventually, android will catch up with games and apps, and the gap is getting smaller and smaller all the time. It wont take long.

I have read in your gaming thread that many games are not compatible with galaxy note.As i am a gaming freak.itz the main reason i want to buy galaxy note.I want to know in future will this game compatibility issue will be taken care of?or will games be released compatible with the high resolution of note...plz help me...thanx in advance
Tintin from Gameloft
So far, a few games are not quite compatible with the Note, in the sense of looking too "soft" as they were not designed for the larger screen. The most notable fail for me is Adventures of Tintin in HD, which I was excited about seeing on a larger screen, as I purchased it when I owned the Galaxy S2. But the game is a different 2D version (horrible, ultra-pixelated 1980s game kind of look) on the Note. Subsequently, Gameloft prevented Note users from downloading the game but there's no refund. What a bummer, and certainly not an extremely pleasant experience dealing with the customer service, who sounded too matter of fact about it.
I suggest that you list the games that are critical to you, and some of us can help to check.
Help me with gta 3..nfs hot pursuit..9mm..i have read the whole gaming thread..for some people the games run for some they doesnt..vry confusing..

for me, gta3 ran when i downloaded over wifi, but not when i downloaded over 3g (probably due to crappy 3g in australia leading to corrupted files).
there are many different gta 3 versions on the market, there should be one for your area.
as for gameloft games, most dont really work too well. gameloft arent too great with their device support yet, but theyre not as bad as ea games.
Hey I also game a lot and I just got my galaxy note.
From the gameloft games, I am able to run (well):
- backstab
- asphalt 6
- brothers in arms 2 (there is a free version on the market)
- modern combat 3 (now available on the market)
What I am trying to run but can't:
- tintin (2d version...no way to get the normal one, I also copied the data over but nothing)
- 9mm - doesn't download the data: incompatible device
- shadow guardian : tried the galaxy tab version...data downloaded, gameloft logo than back to main screen
- rainbow six shadow guardian: the desire hd version i bought some time ago doesn't run. I am trying a samsung version now...downloading the data still don't know whether it will work
- let's golf 3: nothing...incompatible device. copying the data over doesn't help.
Other games:
- dead space: not on the market but you can find it and runs flawless
- shadowgun: no problems. available on the market
- shine runner : on the market
- riptide gp: same
- GTA 3 should run without problems...i still have to buy it, i have to finish some games before playing gta.
- sprinkle : flawless (no black bars on the sides)
- reckless racing
And of course some other minor games from the market...of course angry birds, cut the rope, apparatus and some others....but i am more interested in 'gameloft' games and unfortunately no game (apart from modern combat 3) is officially working. To get some to work you have to manually do everything...and not always work. That's why i am trying all the games (which I had bought and never played...what luck now they don't work on the new phone -_-) too see how many i can get to run.
Anyway in January gameloft should update most of the games and get them to run on the device. I am sure they are working on it.
So far every game I have has played perfectly on the note So no problems for me. But then again I don't play any of those games that you play. I'm a casual gamer (puzzles, word games, etc). I highly recommend the Note.
If any games don't run NOW, they probably will because all developers have to do is tweak their configurations.
good news for the original poster

Asphalt 7 is the only game that did seem a bit slow to me (like 15 fps or so in the peak), but still enjoyable Haven't had any compatibility issue, but then again Google Play offers you only apps compatible with your device
Hint: if it's too slow, restart the phone. And don't install too many background-running apps.

Exactly. And the emulators that allow keyboard mapping. <3
There is a few stuff that I did not find compatible. Though pretty much all the main stuff is supported. Most stuff runs well, NSF MW does. Though some games the swamp and beach buggy racers from the creators of Riptide GP are slow, atleast for me. But Riptide GP works great.
