Every time I think there is absolutely no life left in this poor little phone, it always surprises me. I tried it on a whim after I got it working on my Tilt 2, with no expectation it would work. Ten minutes later I'm playing Final Fantasy Tactics on my phone, and I don't mean it boots up and you have to deal with crippling lag or slowness, it's playable! On 5 frame skip it runs at about 45 FPS with and sound on!
Here is my set-up.
FPSEce 0.10
Omnia D3D Driver
HTC Performance to overclock to 624Mhz
PDAJ'S Clean WM 6.5 Build 21501 ROM (You can find it at PPCgeeks)
Only S2U2 and iContact Avian Edition are running in the background
I've only tested Final Fantasy Tactics due to having limited space on my memory card, but I plan on trying out a few more games. I also heard that disabling the sound can get you quite a few more frames per second, plan on trying that out. If anyone needs either the Omnia D3D Driver or HTC Performance cabs, I'll be more then happy to post them for you. Try it yourself and post the results.
Happy Gaming!
Niceee
That's pretty awesome dude, i would love to get PSX games running on my HTC Tilt 2.
you should see what gran turismo looks like on my expo running at 60fps.

Please do post it here. Is it needed to run FPSce? I Remember my old Ipaq 1940 could run them full speed without any drivers...
I hate how I spent so much money on the HTC Apache back in the day only so it could become a useless pile. I saw that post up there on a successful PSX game on the Apache and I got really excited.
I tried installing all that same stuff (the D3D driver, the overclocking utility, FPSEce) only as for the Apache's ROM, I used a custom ROM I built with PPCKitchen (it couldn't differ much from the 'clean' ROM, because you can hardly add anything to it because of the limited space).
I tried running Castlevania: Symphony of the Night and it didn't run past the "Press Start" screen. I was hoping that since the game is a fairly simple sidescroller, it would run on the Apache, but no luck.
So far (for me) the only emulator I've tried that runs well and plays smooth on the Apache is that PocketNester. The PocketSNES runs about like the DreamSNES for Dreamcast: only runs at an acceptable framerate without sound. I thought it would be better, since the Dreamcast runs at 200mhz and the Apache can be overclocked to 624mhz... Granted I've only tried these three emulators, but those were the three I knew I'd probably get the most use out of.
With this in mind, I figure a gameboy emulator would run perfectly also.

just use wvgafix3 and the frame rate becomes more than double the default wvga 10-12fps. the games is so much better now
can anyone explain this? i mean vga is only %25 less pixels only but it performs more than %100 more
also i wonder if there is a way to get the game to run at full screen with 400x240 mode (full screen). at this resolution the game will probably run over 50fps
I have my game running at super smooth framerates (feels like 30ish fps) at the full WVGA resolution. All I did was install the Touch Diamond ATI graphics drivers on my Touch-IT v4.5 rom and it boosted my fps tremendously without me having to lower the resolution!!
The Xperia really is a fast little phone. It just needs the right software to make use of it.
where to find the driver ....if u could post the link it'd be nice !
I installed the game, runs really smooth and fast (dont know what fps)
Not useing fix or ati drivers
Lifes good on the x1 these days
wat game is it
I have running itje's custom ROM and am playing the game in its full WVGA glory... It is super fast without lags... and is a pretty great game!!! Hopefully SE will add more games in the final R3 ROm they release...
Can we have some links ???
What about screen shots???
I have R2A, and works in wvga very fast and with no problems.
Yes i found this game in the touch-it 4.0 topic it is in a cab archive install it and i is amazing hope sonyericcson release this game in the release of the news xperia...It is so fast and it has amazing graphics...Where did itje found this amazing game it is a develop by sonyericcson?They could really use this game to make more sell of this amazing phone i mean have you ever seen such a wonderful game?
I played it few times on my X1i, latest oryginal rom from SE, no additional drivers and it's very smooth, no lags at all. Nice game - and it's full version.
weird i just switched to wvga and its doing about 20 fps. i probably had stuff in the background when i tested initially ... not sure ohh well all is good
the cab of the game is here
Aaron J can you post the drivers you used here
also do you think this can run on 400x240 full screen
Hey guys here's the link to the ATI Driver in CAB form. See if it makes any difference for you.
http://www.4shared.com/file/93871170/d711462b/Diamond_Ati_d3d_driver1.html
playing on r2a wvga - perfect perfomance
R3 O2 rom, runs very nicely
a newer ROM (21016.1.6) it runs like perfect in WVGA!!! Amazing stuff by SE..
does this run on other htc devices like HD or diamond.its about time sony does something worthwhile to the rest of the wm scene
I just want to remind you guys, this game was decided to be included with the upcoming R3A ROM.
Do not blame SE or anyone if it doesn't run smooth or good on R1A or R2A ROMs because SE never intended it to be run on those ROMs.
I'm sure the best framerate and performance will be seen with the upcoming R3A rom.

aah...one awesome game and i cant download it.... Rapidshare is kinda blocked in singapore isp's.
can someone email me pls?
or any non-rapidshare links?
will be extremely thankful..because i have no games on x1
I know this is asking for opinions on what roms are the best... however, I have used several different ones, be it 1.5 / 1.6 or even 2.0+ .. I'm wanting to find out if there are any other big emulator gamers (for SNES / NES / GBA) that have found something that has the basics for the phone but primarily focus on the 3D/2D graphics of the phone.
Currently im using the CE 1.2 update (Eclair 2.0) and I'm still noticing a few hitches every now and then and sound lag when playing Snesoid (paid version).
Thanks for any info if possible.
Curse my love for SNES and Chrono Trigger =/
I'm using CM4.2.15 and it's fine. Couple of little glitches as it starts but it's fine after that.
Graphics performance is all but irrelevant to a SNES emulator.. it depends on CPU power. Just steer clear of Eclair roms until they have fully functional GL drivers.
JIT might help? Link in my sig for how to enable JIT.
Thanks for the replies, I'll try and give JIT a go... I hear JIT rocks the box for CE 1.2 ...
However, I'm a little hesitant to use it since I haven't done enough research on all what it can do.
I'll give JIT a go the next day work is slow
SuperD for me, I have snesoid, gameboid & gensoid all all three run like a charm.
Just wish I could kick this damn annoying Donkey Kong addiction I have!

JIT is reversible, so don't worry about having to reflash and whatnot.
I have JIT enabled now, I'm not noticing any improvement on the SNESoid itself, though the phone does respond faster.
I may try out Super D and see if the smoothness will work with the ROM... it feels like the phone is hitting a hardware limit not necessarily software enforced.
When there are several things going on in the screen, ie a lot of moving pixels / characters, it hitches up pretty bad and the sound itself goes crazy / lags.
Will the 10mb ram hack decrease the performance of SNESOID / Emulators? I know this might be a basic question but I'm interested to know..
It won't slow down your experience. It might even enhance it a little bit.
Anyone else tried PSXDroid on their G2?
I tried playing marvel vs capcom, chrono cross, and x=men vs street fighter.
Im using PSX4DROID v 1.3
The sound is super laggy and glitched and games are not running at 100%. However, i have read many comments taht say v1.3 is just a horrible version of the emulator. Anyone else playing and having a good experience?

With sound on, everything is very laggy. but i just saw this video on youtube and his PSX4DROID emulator is running much faster, so i think its the version i have.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jaYks8qHD1w&feature=related
Well try the older version... because you know its NOT the phone. The G2 is the most powerful android phone out there, period. Let us know your results... I was thinking about getting it but heard its too buggy for use.
When I first got the G2 I tried out Chrono Cross on psx4droid. It ran very well, although I did have the sound off (not a fan of annoying sounds while playing games on my phone).
But after updating psx4droid from the market yesterday, the emulator runs very poorly. Hopefully the dev undoes whatever he changed so that it will start running well again.

Yeah, it might be the update. From past experience with many emulators, sound off always runs better. The problem is not that the g2 can't handle ps games but it has to emulate them in a player than runs inside android if that makes any sense. In other words native games like nova or heavy gunner which are graphic equivilant to ps games run better because they run pretty much natively. Where ps games are ran inside a emulator coded to run natively in android. I know that explanation is poor but you get the point. The ps emulator is relatively new too compared to the others. But ps games are pushing the limits... have you heard if any N64 emulators that run well or at all yet?
well, either find a better warez source to update to 1.5, or stop being cheap and buy the app from market; sound is crappy, but when it is off ff9 and chrono cross run very smooth

Newest ver on the market is 1.5 (you know that though since you purchased it )
Ran 1.5 today w/ ROMS on class(6) and it was about the same performance I believe: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=802147
Haven't tested with sound much, but on my G2 with psx4droid 1.1 I've been playing:
FFVII
FF Tactics
Megaman Legends
all with no problems, great playability
I purchased it (support your developers, anusholes), but it does seem laggy and sound is glitchy when I play parappa the rappa. Haven't tried any other games.
I have had extensive experience comparing the galaxy phones to the g2 performance in psx4droid. First of version 1.1 is the fastest. It is also the buggiest. On psx4droid 1.1 the g2 does very playable speeds on all games but really heavy polygonal games like fighters and whatnot. Zodttd released versions 1.3 and 1.4 that were much slower while trying to fix bugs. Now 1.5 is the best balance. Only slightly slower than 1.1 but slow
enough to make a lot of games unenjoyable on the g2 while the galaxy phones are able to keep up. Side by side they are like 30 percent faster than the g2 in psx4droid. Im hoping for root soon so we can overclock.

Thanks, this was very helpful
i'm currently running Tmobile G2 overclocked to 1.45 GHZ using a root module, and unfortunately psx4droid 1.61 is playing horridly aweful =(. This was an upgrade from 1.5, which played phenomenially better than 1.61. In 1.5 if the CPU could not process enough power (logically), the game would be a little slower, however 1.61 has sound that is TOO FAST for ALL games, with slow graphics (wtf)?. So in other words, My sound for the game is INCREDIBLY fast, while the in game graphics are sloooww to a crawl. Is there anyone that's willing to host the psx4droid 1.5 apk for me to obtain? I've bought this emulator expecting only improvement, not drawback =(
Has anyone used psx4droid on their Desire HD? I can't help but notice choppy response and laggy gameplay, although it seemed to run much better on the desire and galaxy S. Any ideas? Has anyone tried?
The emulator runs horribly terrible for its V2 version, framerate runs at 30-40 fps and occasionally dips to 20ish. V1 1.7 runs much better but still the framerate seems to have more room for improvement.

Totally agree! I experience the the same frame drop.
But in my opinion the problem comes from the roms. I tried dozens of roms, they all make my HD slower, I don't know why.
The first rom 1.32 (when I bought the phone) was the best!
It runs great on mine. Have u got anti alias turn on? I found that Rele slows it down.

Where is that setting?? I see nothing about AA in options.
For me it runs quite crap aswell. I was looking at videos of other phones and it runs much better on SGS. Maybe it's not optimized for DHD?
Anyway, Fpsece has been announced and it will be released soon. This is a port of a WM6 PS1 emulator which is extremelly good on WM platform and looking at videos, this will be the one to play PS1 games on Android.
Check it out: http://pocketnow.com/android/legendary-fpsece-playstation-emulator-ported-to-android
When I ran the free / lite version, I actually thought it was somewhat playable ... but then I bought the full version and that seems to run very slow .....
Hopefully when we get the Playstation Suite / Store and Sony's official emulator, things will work fine. The Sony Ericsson Xperia Play runs the same Qualcomm CPU / GPU combo as the DHD ....
I also have the same problem, runs very slow.
We won'y have to use psx4droid much longer. A developer has been working on this:
http://pocketnow.com/android/legendary-fpsece-playstation-emulator-ported-to-android
runs pretty well on my DHD, as mentioned earlier turning off anti-aliasing helps alot and overclocking to 1.5ghz helps alot
I've tested this is on FFVII & MGS

i tried the v3.0.7 on my dhd with a bichon rom (v3.3). it doesn't run at all ! i tried .bin and .iso image, but nothing works. Is there anything to do ?
I feel like a big part of some of us getting the Epic was the fact it had an excellent Gpu and would make a great gaming device. Now that its out and we have our froyo, I think its a good time to start a thread about gaming on our phones. I think we should post vids of games running on our phones and share it with the world so they can see how powerful our phones really are. Im going to start getting a bunch of games and recording it, listing whether im overclocked or not and what rom i was running at the time. Feel free to add you own videos and comments
Heres a few to start off with: I will try to update regularly. Im also open to suggestions
Modern Combat 2: Black Pegasus - Midnight rom v5.1 - no overclock

I converted my phone to ext 4, I am able to play perfect dark longer without too many crashes, and goldeneye is smoother at 1.3ghz. still testing between kernels to see which is best..
You can probably use the video option of the shoot me app to record the game directly from your phone. Probably get better vid quality

really.. i was looking for a video capture app. ill check it out. thanks
just tried it.. it works ok.. but the videos arent smooth so you cant really get the full affect of the game
I think the way you are going it now is good, shows how the controls work with the on-screen controls.
ok so F Zero (n64oid) at 0 frame skips with SFR ext 4 and Vision Kernel 1.0 (set at 1.3ghz on demand, performance and 1.4ghz crashes on me) runs really well.
also, Goldeneye is now playable! , still choppy here n there, but much much less than before. it does depend on your rom, I tried a few other goldeneye roms from before. I dont think this site lets me post it up so...
the dump is located in this forum under Xperia Play, be sure to download it. Downloading mine right now, hopefully we can use their PSX emu, games, etc.
Also with Goldeneye and Pdark, the games tend to make the emu crash or become frozen. My kernel didnt like it either so had tons of data corruption I think, just switched back to twlight kernel. If your phone can handle the vision kernel, then use that for gaming..
Goldeneye doesn't really crash for me but it gets REALLY slow after a certain point.. as for psx, I've been using FPSE and it works pretty dam good. I've been playing metal gear solid perfectly.. controls are a little tricky at first though

Even half a year from now, the Epic will still be near the top tier of phone hardware. There are actually games out there that run well ONLY on phones with the Epic's specs. Market reviews will show you that pretty quickly.
