Hi,
Thought i'd share my gaming xperiance on Xperia with the rest of you guys...
So far... i've got the following games working on Xperia. Though they work flawlessly! No lag, no hang ups... but perfect playback. Yet, the following problems:
1. None work in full-screen mode, but cover most of the screen so its worth it.
2. If you get a call in b/w a game or messages, the game keeps running in the background, but you have to use the Task Manager to activate it again. (not a biggie for me)
3. Games that start in landscape don't switch to portrait and the same thing around.
Here's the list so far...
1. Bubble Shooter.
2. Bobble Bubble Build.
3. Deluxeware Penguin Panic v1.08.
4. Tomb Raider - Opens in landscape but opposite direction from the keyboard. Is played using on-screen keypad so works great. And no LAG!
5. Syberia 2 - Awesome game, opens in landscape but doesn't fill the screen. Videos play as smoothly as they would on a PC and the game has no lag. I called myself on the phone and then re-activated syberia 2 via Task Manager and no loss or performance or gameplay.
Some screenshots below... Please bear with me - i took these shots from my not-so-good iPhone's camera in poor lighting...

is there anyway to make the jams d-pad go in diagonals eg for use in snes emulator or c64 emulater, it only goes up down left right. :evil:
Not really.
With so many ppc:s now supporting bluetooth I wonder why there is still no compact bluetooth gamepad on the market. Should sell like mad.
I have been using an xda with dos emulator to play prince of persia, I havent worked out how to pick up or use the sword but the diagonal seems to work, push up for up, left for go left, diagonal between up/left make him take long jumps.
I have seen the same problem as hally, tried a few games, and I have been unable to use the diagonals. Some action games are unplayable without diagonals...
If you want to play games - get yourself a gameboy.

I can run a gameby emulator
Seriously -- the Magician is a beautiful gaming machine -- why would you not play games on it?
Well... for one thing it doesn't do diagonals very well.
And even if it did, the layout of the buttons isn't really suitable for action gaming. The worst is probably the button in the middle of the d-pad which you will press by accident almost constantly. And how do you comfortably use both thumbs to control the game?
i play a bunch of games on it -- there are much more than d-pad based action games, right?
I recently played through Monkey Island for instance (using ScummVM) but the games that I most often play are Slay and Conquest.
Ok, I thought we were talking about games where interaction through the d-pad and other hardware buttons is central.
I personally use it for gaming almost daily, mostly card games like solitaire or black jack, and for this type of games it is absolutely brilliant.
This should be possible because when i push diagonal i can feel both buttons clicking. I think that some one needs to create a driver to add diagonal.
has any one seeen the zeta joypad?
Has anyone played these 2 games on the Universal? Is it compatible? Does it run on landscape and can we assign different control buttons?

SkyForce Reloaded?
How about SkyForce Reloaded?
SF Reloaded works fine in portrait, think it starts in landscape but the screen is smaller much like vertical shooters on widescreen TV's
Dont know about Microquad.
Matt
Thanks for the reply Matt.
I can confirm, both Gold Miner Joe and MicroQuad works fine on the Universal. They play in landscape mode with the screen facing up. We can't play them on laptop mode because there is no option for screen switching. Switching the screen beforehand does not make them play at laptop mode either. But the games play smoothly on the Universal.
I have seen some threads about emus on here but one thing I don't understand is the relationship between pocketGBA and morphgear.
I have morphgear working fine with a snes emulator and final fantasy 4 (FF2 U.S. version). But what I want to do is play it using the pocketGBA.
I have got pocket GBA working but not thru morphgear like I do the snes emulator - I just run it directly by clicking on it from program files. Also, when I choose to have the game run landscape, it's upside down so the keyboard is on the top when I slide it out. If I run it portrait, there's some space below the emulator screen where I can see my operating system and if I accidentally touch that, it knocks me out of pocketGBA and back to windows.
Can anyone tell me how to play FFII/FFIV on the pocket GBA in landscape (fullscreen) so that the keyboard is below the screen as I play? I can probably work out keyboard key mappings from the other threads about that on these forums. I have a Touch Pro2.
Sorry for the long post but I just can't work this out on my own!
ive got pocket nester, (nes and i think gba emulator)and in portrait mode it looks fine but no controls
when i open it up in landscape it looks fine up until i actually start a game, it flips back to portrait?
i was going to look for one of those screen display tooks to fip the screen around while playing the game might work....
Hi all, I'm actually coming from iphone, IOS. I was wondering is there a possible way for me to open video through browser like how iphone does? Iphone would like auto maximize the video on browser & resize the play button and easier fast-forwarding drag.
For example, in iphone for videos there are huge play button. When you click on it, it will auto maximize the whole screen and have the video running.
Samsung on the other hand, I can play the video. But I have to manually maximize the video and the play button would be so SMALL like i can't even click on it.
I'm loving this device but i hate this thing the most. argh.
If you turn your phone auto rotate on and turn the phone on its side, video will play full screen
clicking on the maximize icon does not make the game full screen, it only maximizes the window.
The game itself seems to run in a small frame inside of the window...
Is there a way to actually run games in real fullscreen?
For my part, some games crash when I try to put them in full screen (Clash Royale, FIFA 2018, ...).
Too bad, because it worked well with RemixOS.
