Potential gaming platform
I know it's been said on other forums, i'm not sure if it has been said in this one though. Anyways, with supposed unrestricted use to the services of the phone, i can't wait to see what sort of games we can see on Android. With wifi, 3g, and bluetooth, this can be the ultimate gaming platform and capitalize where wm and apple didn't. Imagine mmo's, multiplayer deathmatches, or something as simple as spades, all online or played on bluetooth. And androids focus on playing in wm territory can mean potential for a huge installer base. The future for Android looks bright indeed.

apps for android are Managed code in java which in most cases is the enemy of speed
and supporting 3d features in cpu and gpu though
Any phone I have had since the Nokia 3300 has become a gaming phone for me. Special kudos to playing Dragon Warrior I & II on the Nokia 6600's gameboy emulator.
(I wish the trackball would be on the left like gaming controllers, which was the first major thing I had to adapt to when going from Wing to G1, but oh well - what can ya do?)
The one thing i would love to see for the android is pocketnesterplus. I'm not sure if there is a way to use it with g1, but hopefully one will come out soon for the nes games. Its extremely hard to play alot of the nes games on most phones but with trackball it would be easier to control the directions. I've heard some of the top game companies are coming on board, all of them better if they're smart!!!
it seems like there was an opengl demo by google a while back where they ran doom I would like to see more 3D games esp if they are written to run off the kernel and display thru the FB device that android creates. As far as I know there is no reason that android apps NEED to be in java.... maybe to be on the market they do... but it's a linux kernel... it should run arm9/11 compiled programs
Does anyone know if there will be development of an emulator for old school consoles like NES and SNES?

Haven't seen any announcements of one(except that there's a really slow gameboy emulator on the marketplace) but I can say with 99.999999% assurance that there will be some.
Hello.
I've heard that multitouch control is under developement for a PS1 Emulator.
What about NES and SNES - is anything similar planned for these two gems?
Thanks and best regards.
Already started working on one
These are fantastic news.
I don't know where zodttd is at on this but I looked at what code was already there from the google.code group n64oid and that's not happening for me but I really just want to play one game, Super Smash Bros, I saw a guy that made a Starcraft port on android so what would I be looking at in focusing all my attention on just porting a game instead of an emulator? The Starcraft port works fine.
can anyone reccomend a good emulator which has decent games which run fine on nvidia shield?
thanks
Depends on what you are looking for
Best appearance with nearly perfect play for me has been ppssp, psp emulator.
Best future and somewhat current possibility dolphin GameCube and wii emulator although not perfect play
Retroarch for all around multiple systems emulating pretty well with a terrible ui

I use:
MegaDrive = MD.Emu (Paid for, on the TV PlayStore)
N64 = Mupen64 Plus AE 3.0 Alpha (You can find the weekly APK builds online)
PS1 = ePSXe (Paid for, on the TV PlayStore)
GameBoy = My Old Boy! (I bought this a long time ago and sideloaded the APK)
RetroArch is a wonderful all-in-one emulator but I never like the interface.
Thanks

hi so I'm wondering has anyone tried ps2 emulator called Play! on the nvidia shield?
I've watched some youtube videos of it in action on the shield, and it looks like it can emulate some games quite well, but not really at a playable speed.
if any android device available just now is going to get decent ps2 emulation then it's going to be the shield, but it's not there yet as far as I know.
