I've been looking around the web for some comments on playing games on the XDA II Mini, but can't really find anything. Does that mean the Mini sucks as a gaming device (I know that's not what it's for, but it's at least possible)? The button layout sure doesn't look good for playing games.
Has anybody tried playing NES, SNES, SEGA, Playstation/etc games? Is there a good way for controlling these games?
I tried snes emulator, it went ok, although there a slight delay. i guess NES would work flawless.
There are plenty of good native to the windows mobile platform games for the pocket pc and I am sure the majority of them runs easily on mini since there is a 416MHz processor. So you ll better look a bit more and try to find them! I love Monopoly and Age of Empires but also Sky Force and Worms! :wink:
I don't actually own a XDA :wink: I'm considering buying one, and the gaming aspect of PDA's appeals to me. I'm sure there are some very fun native Pocket PC games, but playing good console games on an emulator is much fun too If I could play games like Sonic and Mario on the Mini on the go, that would be awesome.
About that (or any) SNES emulator: SNES games usually have at least for buttons for controlling the game. Can these buttons easily be set on the Mini? Or is playing with onscreen buttons a drag?
Thanks for the replies so far, really appreciated!
i play everyday on my Jam instead of my PC! :lol:
i'm addicted to Worms and can't stop playing it... :lol:
Anyway i tried AOE and it's good too. The only games that i don't like on the Jam are those where u drive since it's quite hard to control your car with the standard keypad
free good basic games, classics
Can i find the WORMS game for free ?? and does it support 2 player mode ?
im searching for good free basic games, not lite the viking saga, or world of empire, just fun easy games that u dont get sick and tired of in 2 min..
anyone ?

Hi,
Xperia will be my first Windows Mobile device ever, and i had no idea in regards to gaming on WinMo. Though there are a couple of games available at Microsoft Total Access and a few other sites, most of them failed to impress. Then i found this site that had tons of games including a couple of really great looking 3D games for windows mobile devices.
Any how, i found couple of old PC game ported for Windows Mobile devices as well including sybaria 2, Myst and Myst 2, Atlantis Redux, Age of Empires, Sims 2, and many more. I downloaded these as i'll definitely want to try 'em out.
I then also downloaded ScummVM for Windows Mobile and am now in the process of downloading games for it including The Curse of Monkey Island, Broken Sword 1 & 2, and more. (notice i don't even have the mobile in my hands yet, and i'm already stacking up software and games for it )
Anyways... now i found a pack that has tons of games that are listed to have been ported for PPC (Pocket PC). The creator says: "All games run on my QVGA Windows Mobile 2003se PPC". So i'm guessing they'll probably run on Xperia too?
There are a couple of really cool games in there: Duke Nukem 3D, Need For Speed, tomb Raider, Call of Duty 2, bobble bubble, and many more.
Anyone who has a Windows Mobile and has loaded such games before or tried, can you confirm if these actually work? and if not then is it wise to give it a shot on the Xperia?
Best Regards.

All of the ones you mentioned are working perfectly on my x1.
Take a look here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=462217
I've tried some of them, and they work fine. Limited fun factor though.
Try MorphGear and some old Nintendo and Sega games.
I'll be posting some I've tried and enlist 'em here. Take note though that I use it on an unlocked official X1 rom. Phones in my location came unrestricted. And yes, it differes from a cooked rom since I can't run TF3D on my device.

Hi, Folks.
Has anyone around here found a version of AstroPop that will run OK on Xperia?
Missing that game from my old Java phones.
Any help mucho appreciated.
traffic mania
hi i'm wondering if it is possible to play traffic mania on x1. thx..
warcraft2 plays fine on the xperia but it's a little slow. that's understandable. although it would be nice to incorporate the optical joystick to scroll the map instead of using the directional buttons because let's face it, the directional buttons are crap on the xperia.
anyway, props to you for porting one of my favorite games! this game brings back old memories!
People with Touch HD say that Warcraft II is moving fast, so maybe we have to tweak something. It's so slow it's unplayable on X1.
Searching
i still have transport tycoon but i´m searching for zoo tycoon or any other tycoon version like the rollercoaster
Also on my whishlist are:

Big bump, but has anybody found Lux World Domination for the Xperia? Recently played it on the iPhone and really want it available on my xperia.
I must be very baad., but it's true what i'm goin to say now. There are much more 3D and good working games on W580i than on my new XperiaX1. I'm very disappointed... Expected WINDOWS MOBILE - a lot of applications, games... there is nothing, everywhere the same, bull**** games like prince of persia or assasin. What is this? I'm goin to bring back my W580i :///
And everywhere an Iphone... My.. ***, isn't it too much? huuhhh... [Sorry abou my English..]
Well, X1 ain't exactly positioned as a gaming phone. More like a business phone.

pocketgba -> POKÉMON!!!!
this weekend I played a racing game on the iPhone from a friend of mine. Steering had to be done by moving the device (motion sensored). Anyone knows if there's a WM-lookalike?
this is the game: http://www.2dayblog.com/2008/11/12/iphone-game-fastlane-street-racing/?lang=en
Get finalburn emulator.
PocketUno is pretty fun too. It's just one of those quick pick-up-and-play games. Very finger friendly too. Loads and exits fast for quick games when standing in line, using bathroom, listening to your gf, etc.
how do you guys play these games? especially need for speed underground, i'm constantly pressing the home/call/end/back keys while i'm trying to press left and right...

Syberia 2 - no comments, great game.
Myotopia Poker - to play on online rooms is great!
SCUMMVM - monkey island series and others like "The Dig"

Hi all, i got hold of splintercell conviction hd , sandstorm hd and modern combat 2 today but ive had problems with all 3 of them i was just wondering if anyone has them working on there xperia play?
it probably was the sources i got them from as ive heard there are different versions of the games about but i dont want to go and buy them if there gonna be no better from gameloft. so im just checking before i fork out.
anyone else had similar experience?
black screen on splintercell
grey and black graphics on sandstorm and fails to download modern combat 2?
i dont think its my hardware as most games are fine.
gimme your thoughts
my problem is slightly different. I bought sandstorm, nova, asphalt, sparta for my htc evo 4g. Trying to get other games it says gameloft cant support my phone. Which makes me wonder if some kind of divorce took place after I bought my games, and if I am in somekind of limbo right now
mikzfan
I bought a few games when I had the HTC desire hd and just installed those on the play and encountered similar problems. Wrote gameloft and got my paid games upgraded and they work like a charm. Dpads and touchpads incorporated in the games ;-)
Regards Dousan...
e: when upgrading games to the play I had to download some extra stuff to make it work. (Had already copied my backup from HTC dhd to my play).
ah right yep the games must be coded slightly differently for the play cos of the pad... ive got another version of conviction here now which is working but not with the pad grrrr ... im gonna have to spend some dosh and buy the right version
ALSO anyone know if the play is multitouch cos it doesnt feel like it. i know its gotta pad so it doesnt really matter but on sandstorm using the screen i had to stop moving to aim?

ONe thing i do know about, lol, the play has multi touch screen AND touch pad, if u try the touch pad test software u can use 2 fingers on the pad AND 2 on the screen at the same time
Just a quick update... i bought splintercell and modern combat 2 and both work great using the pad controls,... I found out i had to buy the games to get the right version for the xperia play just a tip for other noob freebie hunters
Only problem I've had with some games is them not showing up in the Xperia Play games section after download.

Hi There Ive had the same problem with modern combat 2 dont know about the other 2 it force closes when i select it from the app menu, but I have got a way to get it working. This is on xperia play, for the downloading try restarting your phone turning the wifi off and back on and stay next to your wireless so you know youll have a good connection.
You try to load it from the app menu first and it will force close then hold the recent apps button and select the game from there and it will load it does still sometimes randomly force close though.
Hope this helps
If all else fails contact gameloft they take a few weeks for fixes like these but they will offer you a free game or something for the inconvenience.
That is good of them, I bought a game off PSN for PSP which wouldn't work & when I contacted them they told me it was my fault because I have a Jap PSP and they wouldn't re fund or supply a replacement.
i had the same problem with games not showing up... have you shut down and restarted your phone since u got them... mine show up. i think after a restart of the phone, not sure give it a try but mine are on the xp slide out list

Maybe consoles are a bit different but they should have allowed you access to a copy that did work for you if you paid for it. Or maybe that was just Sony as they get a cut out of every psn sale.
Yeah your right that is normally their attitude i was actually surprised when they did it and they done it twice for me bought nova 2 didnt work so they gave me assasins creed and spiderman free, then i got impatient for an fps so i tried modern combat 2 and didnt work either they gave me brother in arms free for this one. To sum that up i got 3 free games for 2 faulty games I bought and nova 2 works now since their update still waiting for a fix for modern combat 2 though.
is there an available joystick for our unit? i,ve got a hard time playing on screen, and don't have the money to buy that glittering xperia play
Try to look for zeemote. It is fully compatibile with defy. I'm going to buy one
Sent from my MB525 using XDA App
i dont think that would even be available here, its great to play hd games with that
If that actually work good on gameloft games its totaly worth it, i found it on local e-bay like (mercadolivre.com.br) for as low as US$25.
Zeemote website say defy is suported
Wow! I've never heard about it! thats really nice
it's really nice to play with that but not discharge the battery ?
I wonder if anyone knows how to use xbox 360 joystick on our defy, that would be amazing.
xD

Hi,
there is an app available on market. It is called like sixaxis or something like that. The idea of the app is to enable sony playstation 3 Bluetooth controller to be an input device for android gadgets (including defy).
I actually bought this app and tested it on my defy - works like a charm. I played some sega genesis emu games, but word is this neat app works with native android games as well.
Hope this helps
Buy a gameboy and be happy!
I now that some console emulators are compatibles with wii controler. But i don't remember witch one.
i saw a few days ago a tutorial using the ps3 joystick with android...i will search it
it calls "sixaxis controller" you can find it on the android market
Also if you got a wii remote lying around theres an app for that too
Works great with gba emulator
but playing with touch is fun!
i highly reccomend the gametel
http://www.amazon.com/Gametel-Porta...e=UTF8&qid=1375193491&sr=8-1&keywords=gametel
its highly affordable and very functional. also works well with alot of emulators.. have had mine for a couple weeks now an i have no complaints...
not too sure how it works with the stock defy rom however... seeing as the website says that it doesnt work with motorola devices running lower than android 4.0.
im running CyanogenMod's rom, which is 4..1.2. so no problems :good:
