Hey everyone, I was playing some old PC games and could was wondering why you could not play a simple click and play game on the kaiser such as Monkey Island or The 7th guest.I came across a program called scum but I have not been able to find the games to run on it. It says that they are freeware. If anyone could find a few please let me know. Thanks for your help and happy hunting.
Update
I guess a better question may be this. If you have these older point and click games, is there a way convert them to ppc so that you can play them?
You would want to search for emulators to play them. like scummvm and whatnot. for pure dos emulation, I'd recommend dosbox ppc or pdosbox.
I keep meaning to give this one a try...
http://www.astraware.com/ppc/featured/brokensword1/?skucode=0211-000-0466
It's been converted to WM6, so no need for an emulator.
I only ever played the PC Demo and it seemed a good game, but never got round to buying it. No idea what it's like on the Kaiser, but saying that, maybe I'll try now....
Otherwise - http://www.scummvm.org/ looks good thanks ycavan! I've tried Dosbox before though, and it does work but wasn't that impressed with trying to use such a small screen.

Go on the Scummvm site and Broken Sword is free anyway! Plus theres Lure of the Temptress, Beneath a Steel Sky.... Excellent!
There is a ps2 emulator on the market and I own just about every one there is. The reviews on this one are either great or they say it completely sucks. Anyone had any first hand experience with this thing

I do not believe even for a second that there would exist a fully-functioning PS2 emulator for Android devices. A Core 2 Duo can't run any PS2 games playably, there's no way a mobile device with ARM-processor would either.
Reviews either suck or sing it's praises? Sounds like developer and co giving good ratings and actual users giving actual ratings?
EDIT: Ah, just checked. Developer website down, everything just reeks of fraud.
Tbh, I do not understand people who even ask these kinds of things. Where's your common sense? How could a mobile device with a fraction of a proper PC's performance run a PS2 emulator when PC's themselves are struggling with that?

Don't question my common sense asshat. Android phones lower end than the note run an n64 emulator and also at one point were running a friggin dreamcast emulator so don't tell me what is and isn't possible on high end phones by great developers unless you are a great developer yourself

You're comparing N64 and PS2?
Uh, I think I'll leave this at that, no point in arguing if you believe they are anywhere near comparable.

I wasn't comparing an n64 and a ps2 great android developers that you are. I was making a point that if a low end cheap phone could run a n64 and dreamcast emulator that was said not to be able to by know it all great ones like y'all then a high end phone could possibly run a ps2 one. There has been tons of things done on android that "was not possible" according to geniuses like you that has been done. You tards get off my thread, you are not helping nor contributing any help. What's it with all these xda kid trolls taking over :banghead:
From the Beast : Galaxy Note
While probable, it is highly unlikely that a PS2 emulator is even possible even with the right software and development. It is just too taxing of an emulation. My high end desktop can run certain games great but then struggles to render other games. I'm not saying it wouldn't be nice though, I've been wanting to play some PS2 rpgs on the go for a very long time.

Good question. I was wondering the same thing
It seems it was pulled off the market now. It was looking fishy with the review disparities and website down too
From the Beast : Galaxy Note
I tried awhile back to find the dreamcast emulator apk but couldn't. The guy quit working on it but did have it running some games first. One of my favorite systems ever

Listen, I don't know what your problem is, but use your head and stop thinking that since you're on the internet you can act like a badass. The fact is, the Nintendo DS emulator runs like ****. N64oid also only plays a handful of first-party titles. Hell I bet your computer that you're on right now can't even emulate PS2 well.
The Note doesn't even play n64 games better than a single core. The same graphical glitches are present.
A ps2 emulator is NOT realistic, and you aren't even contributing to your own thread by saying "stfu" at every corner.

That's the same thing I said on the previous page: there is no way a current-gen ARM-device could run PS2 games at full speed. The Exynos/Snapdragon chips used in our Notes cannot compete with even just one core of a Core2Duo let alone both cores, and yet my previous PC was a Core2Duo+HD3770 and it still couldn't run PS2 games playably.
But the OP acts like a spoiled little brat and keeps telling people to shut up when told about that. Not terribly constructive behaviour, let alone mature.

I've seen working ds emulators...
Hoesntly if u want to talk to someone with some brains id check out the developer yongzh from slideme.org or the guys that developed fpse the ps1 emulator. Yongzh has always been very kind to me and I've been in corespondance (spelling?) with him for years now.

Handful of first party titles..? I can play over 40 on my g2 without a problem... there are probably only about 50 good games on every system in the first place.

So you consider "working" to play at 3fps and load three games? Yongzh is a stand up guy but that doesn't make the Nintendo DS emulator work any better or a ps2 emulator more feasible.

Hey guys, im one of the lucky few that will be getting my PI in about 3 to 5 weeks. I want to know if anyone is going to port Android to it? Something similar to those Android Media centers you get.
I also really like the raspberry. We hope you can use as mediacenter or for use as a home surveillance at home

Awesome! Subscribed with interest.
What are you going to use as your starting point?
Well i guess not getting the raspberry PI was good for me. Just got into the pre order of APC (A new mini pc from VIA). The thing runs Android 4.0 ICS! Can't wait

I just got a rasberry pi aswell. i dont see a specific forum for it right?
I have my Pi for a few days now. I'm very interested to see this running android, not that I've any skills that would allow me to help port it but willing to do any testing etc..

Doubtful as it is only an ARMv6 chipset. Or more to the point a waste of time. Should have got a CottonCandy.

I've seen gingerbread run on lower spec'd armv6 phones, even cm9, though it's a stretch. I don't see why it wouldn't run on an rpi.
I just got mine a couple days ago and I fully intend to port android to it. If there are a few interested people, which there seem to be, we should get a forum specifically for rpi/android development (Though I have no idea how I'd go about that).
The Raspi is very tight on ram and processor power. So I'm not so sure if Android is a good choice for it, especially if you want some media center kind of application.
I think compiling the code natively is the better choice. There seems to be some development with XBMC going on - I think that will work out better.
Well - I'll see it tomorrow, because then I'll get mine
I would think at the very least 2.1 should be doable, but I would only install it to play around to be honest. I will probably run raspbmc on mine when I get it (also tomorrow ); I would however, really like to have android on it just so I can have access to hulu plus/netflix content easily.

Doubtful was the wrong word, sorry. Pointless would have been more appropriate. Yes it can but with the limits of the Pi why would you. Wait for the native XBMC port to happen if you want any sort of fun with it.

Well, i own a X10 Mini Pro that has an ARM v6 CPU and 256MB of RAM. Guess what: it's running CM9 fluently...
Just got my Raspberry Pi.
I too don't why why it wouldn't run android well, my ZTE Blade with 600mhz armv6 processor runs ICS faster than gingerbread ran on it... at the moment of writing it's even more fluid in the menus/notification drop down than my HTC Sensation...
I lack the skills to do anything about it myself but I'd be happy to test/ report bugs if someone starts a port!
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. Much appreciated.

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.

Hello folks,
I've recently bought the Sony Xperia Z1 and I'm overloaded with questions, I'm trying to figure out a lot myself, but sometimes I need help A friend told me XDA was the place to be, so here I am.
As the title says, I'm wondering if there is some sort of a PS2 emulotar available, I've had the for gameboy advance etc, but now that I've gotten one of the better phones, I wondered if I could get better games aswell
I've seen people play FFX and GTA 3 and many other games. But couldn't figure out how they did it.
Any hints?
greetings
I'm not aware of any current PS2 emulator, i may be proved wrong. (google playstation emulators for android) you do have FPse for android though.
but for GTA and FFX, look in the play stores for games, you have GTA vice city and GTA.

I'm aware there are paid versions of GTA around, so maybe that was a bad example. But what about FFX? Or is that some kind of stream? I suppose it is..
ANyway, thanks for pointing it out it doesn't exist a shame though.
What are the perks of having your PS3 account sync'd with your Z1 then? I did this via sony entertainment network, but yet have to find the perks of this..
Thanks again,

Syncing with Ps3 to Z1 is so that you can connect with your online Ps3 friends, or get updated with some of your online ps3 games (scores, level, etc)... there are a few apps that you can install to do that like MYNBA2k13... etc...

You can't emulate PS2 games in Z1. PS2 is a very complex console and even Snapdragon 800 can't handle it. You remember PCSX2 - A PS2 emulator for PC? It's in development stages for almost 10 years and haven't seen a final release until now. The development team behind PCSX2 claims that, PS2 is a vey complex console to emulate compared to that of PSOne as many have of the hardware features have to be emulated in real time which is currently not stable and that's why. Though being in development for 10 years, PCSX2 doesn't support ALL PS2 games (80% will work) either. From above you can guess for android. In order to emulate PS2 games in android, it needs a far more powerful processor than S800 and gigs of memory which might seem impossible as of now. Even if the hardware in our Smartphones matches PS2 in the near future, writing an emulator though is very much of a hassle and will be full of bugs rendering the emulator useless. Guess the emulator era are over for Android with PSOne, period.
Alright, thanks both for the clarifications. I'll try the app.
Cheers!
