Emulation Speed

Has anyone tried to play any console emulators on the X1 yet? I would like to see how PocketSNES, PocketGBA, and FPSEce perform. Anyone would has the device that would like to try them out let me know how they work! (If at all)
PocketSNES 1.53

PocketGBA

FPSece
http://www.fpsece.net/download.htm

Pocketsnes works for me ony thing is the screensize but it works

Awesome does it run at full speed? I would assume so since my wizard gets pretty close. FPSEce only runs at 18fps on it so I'm wondering is the X1 has a nice improvement over it.

yeh it runs at full speed so no worries there

Does button mapping to the keyboard work?

Yes, it works

problem is the emulators and games dont support WVGA so the viewport is reduced to VGA which is really tiny on the 3inch display.
Also for me many SNES games dont run at full speed and you cant map all the keyboard buttons, for example the arrow keys on the keyboard all have the same Keycode...
in my opinion game emulators are pretty useless on the X1
I wonder if the people posting here who says it works have actually tried a number of games and played for a period of time or are just saying things they read somewhere else.

Wow you really can't get SNES at full speed? My wizard with a 200mhz proc can do it just fine on most games.

Well you can, but only with Sound disabled and Frameskip on many games. With Sound most of them lag horrible, also compatibilty with the existing emulators on the X1 isnt really good. You need a WVGA fix to get them running at all and overall its not a very pleasant gaming experience...

the only one I got running properly is the GBA emu and the only game worth playing is FF tactics. that one works quite fine .. its just that itdoesnt use the full screen and the actual game screen is tiny! not sure if there anything u can do to fix that

?
I use Morphgear (MegaDrive/Snes/GBA), Picodrive, GenesisPlus, PocketSnes and PocketGBA (mostly without sound but) running at full/nearly full speed.
You have to use WVGA FIX2 but Morphgear+PocketGBA can be used without it.
Keyboardbuttons can be mapped without a problem.
The X1 can be used as much for gaming as other (W)VGA devices.
Greets !

in PocketSnes i cant map the buttons right next to the spacebar where normally the arrow keys would be..atleast two of them (ö/8 ä/9 or so on german layout) produce the same code in PocketSnes.
Besides that it works but compared to those emulators on my PSP its just useless...but thats mainly due to the very tiny screen in VGA res...

do they completly fill x1's screen?

nope, just 2/3

Thats true for most emulators but you can use Morphgear full screen (800*480) !
Without sound it is usable/playable but with a normal ratio (640*480) it plays smoother/more fps.

could you please put up a link for the latest version of morphgear? I cant seem to find a working download link
thx

Here you go...

morphgear is working great!
I cant seem to get sound to work thou...I checked enabled sound in global and snes options /hmm...

where can i download to put more games on the emulator

I've never had any game running without lags on my X1 (Haven't tried SNES)

Resolution problems on games.

why does it happen that when everytime i install a game for ppc , the resolution for the game will be very small ? it happens on every game that i install on the phone.

if the game is hardcoded to qvga
and real vga dont help
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=2818509#post2818509
there is nothing anybody can do

That's what happens when you get Free Online Games. If you pay for the game and it was built specifically for the PPC it will use full resolution

[Q] NFS shift: steering issue, any G-sensor emulation?

Hi everyone, NFS shift is a best ever racing game for X1, however, this game require G-sensor for steering. As there is no G-sensor on X1, so it become unplayable.
Is there any G-sensor emulation app to use Dpad as G-sensor, so that we can play this game?

There is no such thing as G-Sensor emulation, either your phone has a G-sensor or it doesn't. I actually have this game with onscreen controls Pm me.

So I got a chance to try the 100mb version of NFS Shift and turns out the version I have is older, the 100mb one looks completely different. I've been searching but could not find one with onscreen controls yet.

Hi Viper89, thanks for your reply. Discovered that the HTCSensor service will mislead the game that X1 have G-sensor, once it is removed then the game will able to run with keyboard for steering & drift.
Now the game can play but the GPU seem not powerful enough to run smoothly, sigh.

Nice find, how do I find this HTCSensor service and remove it?

Simply remove the files: smiHapticsServer_1.dll and SmiSensorServer_1.dll from windows directory. Now you can play the game by pressing j and k for left and right and d for drift.

You can find them in \Windows directory but they are hidden so you have to use total commander instead of file explorer.
unfortunately i had no luck and still can't control game by the keybord

cool controle works with J & K

thx

Hi Bro how did you make this working with keyboard.
I did not find those files which have to delete.
Please tell me how is going to work
Thanks in advance

[REF] Gathering List of Tested-Working Android's Apps & Games on X1

Hello Everyone! ​
First Thanks to everyone who worked, working & will work on Android Development, specially for XPERIA X1.
And Thanks everyone who wants to help his/her friends in this big community that I learned a lot from.
The Purpose of this thread is listing all the apps that work properly on the X1.
Because as you know we have some hardware & software limitations in X1's Android such as:
Hardware: lack of accelerometer, compass & capacitive touchscreen; slow cpu ,etc.​ Software: lack of excellent drivers ,power management issue, etc.​
So a list may be useful.​
Then if you're agree, Let's start.
Please Don't list the names only. It would be better to include: A short explanation about the app or game & version number, the build you are using, the kernel you're using, how it works for you (for example laggy or smooth), & everything you think is necessary to run it & everything you think necessary to say.
I will try to keep the list updated.
Thanks

I like the idea. Let me start:
Doodle Jump (game) - game works smoothly, you just have to disable "Tilt" in options. Last time tested with 28-09-2010 CyanogenMod build + latest xdandroid kernel.
Fennec (web browser) - after waiting 5 minutes for fennec to start, interface showed up, but device froze (i had to do soft reset). Not recommended. Last time tested with 27/9 Tremere's Froyo.
Aldiko (eBook reader) - interface is little slow and sluggish, but it works without problems. Even functions like brightness control and turning pages with volume buttons. Last time tested with 28-09-2010 CyanogenMod build + latest xdandroid kernel.
Dolphin HD (web browser) - speed is about the same as stock android browser. It works fine. Last time tested with SuperFroyo build.

3d games working with CyanMod 6 (03.10.10):
fruit ninja-perfectly
ninja kaka-a lil bit worse
gangstar (gta analog)-perfectly
sandstorm-like on iPhone, smoooooth
N.O.V.A by Gameloft-having some lags
about 21 fps in each game i tested.

hey, yesterday i noticed an interesting fact- some android games which require accelerometer can be played on xperia without it (like Doodle Jump which we can try disabling "tilt")!!
plz someone test some of accelerometer games!)

You means "Gangstar: West Coast Hustle" ? Anybody can confirm that? This game is awesome, I'd like to play if it is playable "perfectly" on Xperia

Someone other than you can confirm that?
I have problems with installing CM6.
Besides i've tested GameBoid. It Works perfectly.
I haven't tested 3D games yet.

yeees gameboid works)
gangstar works FOR ME perfectly
i am not responsible if it works on other person's CyanMod for x1

Hi there people.
As I'm interested in using android on my xperia, I just wanted to know how people manage to run 3d applications like N.O.V.A or Gangstar ?
I'm using Cyanogen Mod 6.0, that supports 3D(hope so).I wanted to know how people launch
3D games, because I could only run the 3D Racer from android market.Any other game I try to launch doesnt succeed (loading, black screen, error).
Thanks, and sorry for bad English.

Gameboid, Snesoid, Nesoid and Gensoid work well with Trememer's new build.
It works **** on Cyanogen. I wouldn't compare the two builds in performance but in terms of gaming tremere's>cyanogen

I also have the same problem on [CyanogenMod6 Update 03-10-2010] and [Barebone][CM6.1][11-10-2​010] too. But I've just downloaded SD Files for each game and copy on SD card to gameloft folder, maybe we have to download additional files via WiFi and it will work? Unfortunately I don't have free WiFi connection :/ I also try Gameloft Game Launcher, but it didn't help for me. Maybe someone write a tutorial how to launch this games? We would be very grateful. Regards
Sorry for my english.

hi,
I tried The 3d talking tom cat,first time it didn't work,but after rebooting,it worked but a little laggy(low fps)
but i think in CM6 3d working it should work smoothly with good fps.

i used it in neopeek's froyo(12/sep/2010 version)

Hi there people,
Today i tried to install gameloft's real footbal 2010, and its working, but its too lagy i mean its running but with 8-12 frames per second.
30.10.2010. Tried NFS Shift, and its working, but without the g sensor it is not playable.

Can you upload some videos how you play that games? I tried million times, but any 3D game from gameloft doesn't work :/

Using "finally usable" release ( can't remember actual name right now)
Paper toss - Bad framerate. Animations are far from smooth, but still playable.
Angry birds - weird "scanlines" appear randomly. Also game won't respond when i start (or I just don't know how to play)
What about puting gathered data to first post?
Sent from my FRG83 by Neopeek using XDA App

hi there,
anyone, I need info/please share, games which use accelerometer for control, like xtract? thanks before
