With the amount of people who use this, there must be an easier way of setting it up, in terms of all the virtual buttons etc. I tried to set it up a while ago, I though I'd done it ok, so I put Crash Bandicoot on and tried to play it, and it was a nightmare! It just didn't work well at all, I guess I must have gone wrong somewhere. Also to have to do it for each game is a ball-ache.
Is there not a .cab or something that sets it all up for you, so you just have to copy over a game image and away you go?

While I saw nothing like this posted here in the Transformer threads yet, I figured I'd make a thread to atleast start discussion as well as provide help with others that might be interested in this.
[aDosBox]
Currently I have managed to get aDosBox installed and working fairly well, to the point where Fallout (a game I personally wanted to play) is working decently well enough that I am happy.
A few things that I had to search around for to find answer to.
Mounting:
In aDosBox, in order to have a large enough space to full install Fallout, you need to use the following line:
mount d /Removable/SD -freesize 1024
This will provide you with 1 gb of free space (assuming you have 1 gb free) on the drive. I found I had to do this in order for the Fallout installer to allow me to do the full install.
Another thing to note is the number of cycles/second setting in aDosBox. I changed mine to roughly 16,000 and that seemed to give me good performance. Much higher than that (I think 21,000 is where I really noticed it) and aDosBox is trying to do too many cycles/sec and it actually slows things down.
Another problem I have had, is getting the mouse to actually properly follow my hardware mouse (I have the dock) as well as the touchscreen when using aDosBox. Calibrating the mouse doesn't really seem to have much of a good effect for getting this working properly yet either.
[Windows]
So far my attempts at installing Windows 98 (so I can then use Fallout 2 and Fallout Tactics) have been pretty bad. I have not been able to get Windows 98 to install, I get stuck where it starts checking hardware. I let it sit for about half an hour, but that pretty much killed it.
I'll be trying out Windows 95C here in a bit.
After searching a bit, I found this little bit of information...
the /NA# switch, when used at the setup command line (ie setup /NA#) will skip the searching/checking hardware portion according to the number.
This switch bypasses the program check and can use the following values:
#=0 Default.
#=1 No Windows-based program check, but MS-DOS-based program are blocked.
#=2 No MS-DOS-based program check, Windows-based programs are blocked.
#=3 No Windows-based or MS-DOS-based program check.
After installing Windows 95, I got an error asking for MSDOS 7.0. Haven't figured out that problem yet.
Anyone else have any other experiences?
Download GemRB to play Infinity Engine games. Download ScummV to play... a bunch of other games. I wouldn't put much hope in it otherwise.

Well, Fallout isn't an IE game, so GemRB won't play it.
As for Scumm, I don't really care to play those games right now.

Full Throttle on my SGS was pretty awesome using ScummVM, I'm probably going to try it later on TF as well. Other classic games like Kyrandia etc do look funny in 2011 though (nostalgie eh...)
So I got an Iconia today and I;m trying to put it through its paces. SNES emulation works fine but I'm having a war of a time getting PS1 emulation to work. I've got both PSX4Droid and FPse on this thing. I've got the playstaion bios and a .bin image of Tekken 3 that I ripped.
psx4droid won't run the game at all. The controls show up but then it immediately shows "unexpected error..." message.
FPse will actually run the game but the onscreen controlls wont respond. If I "Eject" the game it'll go to the Title screen and I can control up and down but nothing else.
I've seen posts stating that people have gotten PSX emulation to work on this, but none that detail just how. Any help in this recard would be greatly appreciated as I've only got 2 weeks to decide if I'm keeping this thing.
Edit(I have FPse working somewhat?: Ok I did some more poking around and I think I have something here. Looks like it was a matter of the start button not showing up on screen. Turning it to portrait got all the controls on screen and it actually was responding to the button presses. In order to get it to run smoothly I had to crank up frame skip but it'd showing 60fps. Does that even make sense?
I had all these same problems so i fell back on my old computer repair days experience. Some times newer is not always better ... I couldnt get any of the newer versions of psx4droid to run or even load games right. so afetr some digging i found the maker of psx4droid for a short while made one he called psx4droidv2 but for what ever reason he does not have it on his site. so I just googled it what your looking for is psx4droidv2 1.1.2 you just instal it like normal and put the bios files and game files all in same folder and I am up and running like a champ on my iconia everything loads and works. it even lets me do away with on screen controls and use my ps3 controller to play the games, you just have to map the buttons but is easy.
Hope this helps if so give me thanks.

Well it runs with is more than I can say for the first version of psx4droid that I'd downloaded. Unfortunately It doesn't seem to run at a solid frame rate. Also the screen scales too skinny.
That kind of settings do you have yours set to?
On another note, I've gotten FPse running at a consistent frame rate but there seems to be some games that simply won't play with it (Megaman Legends 2).
So, i tried to get this work during sunday and monday with no succes.
I have ripped some of my own games (Tombi 2 and crash bandicoot 3 PAL releases) via program Imgburn which i found from neoseeker forums after some googling.
I couldnt do ISO files so Imgburn did BIN files for me, i read that BIN files should work with PSXperiA, yesterday the author of the tutorial video, and possibly a member of XDA, confirmed that BINs should work by replying my utube comment. After this i updated my play to 2.3.4 and PSXperia to beta 2
I retrieved proper files (com.playsration something from phone memory and ZPAK from the memorycard i had crash 1)
After this i copy both files into "important 1" and "important 2" folders under (harddrive 2)/D:/PSX/
Extract folders is being created in same folder named as "data" after this i go to convert and fill the fields, mark the "analog box" and set paths (extracted content, game BIN and output)
When PSXperia is ready i take the game file and put it into my phone SD card to right directory (i dont excatly remember the path, its either way same path as described in the tutorial video i watched)
I unplug my play and check all the menus and places only to discover that games arent showing up anywhere
I think the problem could be either A ) minor detail i didnt notice or B ) something went wrong while ripping the game.
I believe both have some share in my problem, i tried original BIN files on PSX4droid (i had SPC10001 or something ~~ bios) but with all sort of tricking i didnt get any reaction (tried crash 3)
Soooo, what went wrong ? Can you help me ?
I did everything in that specific order so if something is missing, please do tell me
PS: i didnt mark box "yes this is a question" on these forums since this is call for help and not one question, i think i shouldng mark it ?
You should have watched all of the tutorial, You missed the part where you actually install the game. Watch my video again and see the part where I use a file manager to install the apk.

Aaaahh holy.....
I did see that part but because i was watching the video with my play i couldnt see file names and i think i just didnt hear that part correctly.
Though my excuse for sucha noob mistake must be that my PC read APK file as "Gamespy Arcade Custom Service" so all i could think was "WTH does this file do here ?"
Well, now i have instaled "Tombi 2" but its shutting down by itself (black screen and extremely quiet sound "sssshhhhhhh" from the speakers which stops after screen goes away)
But i think this problem is more common and can be found from "PSXperia beta 2.0" thread so i think i take a look at it
I will bump this thread if i need more help.
BTW, i cant get even PSX4droid to work, black screen and freeze, there seems to,be no topics solving or even containing the problem in the interwebz (tried PAL BIOS too but without luck)
It seems emulation god's are not on my side today

The problem might be that im using EU APK and ZPAK of crash bandicoot with Tombi 2
(i checked from github compatibility list and there was no sing about PAL release working, only Usa)
Tombi 2 is EU/PAL release while you are using USA version with possibly USA APK and ZPAK.
I try USA release of Tomba 2 with my current APK and Zpak, i will report in shortly
EDIT: didnt work, same deal as with PAL, i think next step is to get Usa Crash bandicoot APK and ZPAK and try with those, i think APK was in that PSXperi thread somewhere.
Small update.
Tombi 2 PAL works perfectly with US apk and ZPAK, minor graphical glitches and bugs (some edges of models look blue and few chains in second world are "hot" while they shouldnt be, this doesnt alter gameplay though.)
I have shared thanks for you two
Tombi 2 is by far, my favourite PSX tittle with countless hours of gameplay, im looking foward in trying Tombi 1 that i never had a chance to play and to play extra missions that are being unlocked in Tomba 2.
I wanted to try Zero Divided 2 but i had an error while ripping, today i will proceed trying out Croc 2, Crash Bash... Infact, all of my PSX PAL tittles.
crash 3 didnt work, ill try US release.
One last question, could converted game and the APK for for other xperia 2011 range devices, Arc is PS certified so i dont see why not on it, but im more thinkig about NEO.
My sister would like to play some PS classics too and the only PSX4droid version i could get working, performed horribly.
I know its kinda illegal, spreading software that is not desinged for centrain phone on purpose that is.
I really want to LOVE Vendetta Online, but I tried to play it and the controls seemed really clunky and I could not move around well at all.
I love this type of game, and have played lots like it on PC, and really enjoyed Galaxy on Fire 2 on my tablet. I have no problem with flight controls, throttle, reverse axis (up-down), etc. But with this game I could not fly around to shoot the targets in the tutorial.
I really hope, that I just missed something easy, like a setting, or a different way to do it. Please Help.
P.S. I am sorry if this is not the correct place or thread for this question, I am new to the Ouya forum section.

Hi, I've been a member of the Vendetta Online community for over 10 years (signed up June 2003), and am a guide. Your message tripped an alert for me, and I wanted to offer a brief response; you can play Vendetta Online across all platforms it is available on (PC/Mac/Linux/Android/iOS etc.) with the same character, and interact with everyone else playing the game. This means that if you didn't like the controls on Ouya, you can switch over to PC and continue playing right where you left off.
I myself have an Ouya, but I haven't had a chance to play Vendetta on it, yet. However, I have enjoyed the game for over a decade, and hope you have the chance to, also (or at least for a while ) I would suggest downloading the game onto a different platform and giving it a try that way; you can always come back to the Ouya later (if you choose) without losing any progress.
Let me also add that you can adjust control settings by going to Options -> Controls (this may be under "Advanced Settings" in Ouya).
Download this apk https://android-apk.org/com.bakateam.androidclannad/1835422-simple-team-clannad/
IIRC it asks you for a folder on boot, if it doesn't just place your Clannad files in sdcard/clannad, version I've tried and it seems to be built for is the full voice version.
Ironically voices don't work.
Seems to have been intended for just Clannad but other reallive vn's work apparently.
More info here https://forums.fuwanovel.net/topic/531-android-xclannad/
Some advanced effects are slow but it's otherwise basically perfect
Would use RLVM but couldn't get it to work for some reason. Crashes on every Clannad version I've tried, haven't tried any other game though.
Looked into the VNDS version after that but it seems to be lost to time If anyone has it please chime in!
Remember to use volume up/down to save/load!
