Hey XDA,
I pre-ordered my g2 yesterday, waiting impatiently now. Ive seen one video of a guy quickly playing Yoshi's island and Chrono cross.
I was wondering if anyone who has their phone already, that plays roms/emulators could post a video of the phone running a few different games?? One of my main reasons for buying this phone is the physical keyboard for gaming, cheers.
Super Mario All Stars, Xmen vs. Streetfighter, Megaman, N64 games if thats out yet too, anything really i just want to see how the phone runs some games.
I second this request

Thirded. And impatiently waiting?! I ordered on the first day (24th) and haven't even had it shipped yet. Thats impatient waiting
Someone posted a link in some thread of them playing some emulators it's hard to find here on xda but it's on youtube as g2 benchmarks and emulators. Heres a link http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jaYks8qHD1w emulators start at 5:20
Edit: sorry didn't realize you put that you saw the video already there's no N64 emulator but I have psx,snes,nes,gba,gbc,genesis,gamegear,and atari emulators. Now for the psx I just have rocket power and tony hawk 2 but for the others I can download anything so just tell me what game and I'll try to make a video

I got my G2 yesterday, and here's a little video of FIFA10 on it, sorry for the little video and kinda sucked cuz is hard to play with only one hand the only bad part is that the game cost me $4.99 oh well I do love soccer so I'm happy.

Ever since I got my G1, the thing that has been synonomous with my android phone is retro gaming with emulators. It's actually one of the biggest reasons I will only buy an android phone with a keyboard, ergo I upgraded to Vision.
Shout outs for Earthbound and Chrono Trigger anyone?
If you've never played those games, do yourself a hugely enjoyable favour and buy super gnes or snesoid from the market and start playing them now!
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA App
I've got the roms on my evo. Haven't tried any emulators on the g2 yet. chrono trigger its one of my favorite games of all time. Earthbound is just goofy.
Swyped from my evo 4g using the xda app.
Did you ever finish earthbound? It gets pretty messed up by the end lol. I've used both the *oid emulators and super gnes. IMO super gnes works better; the music keeps playing even though sometimes things get slowed down. Snesoid would do weird things with the sound when the game would slow down. Perhaps it's been fixed since then.
One note is to always save games via emulator, but also save ~inside~ the game too. That way the savegame from within the game is on your sd card in case you install a new rom or need to wipe for another reason.
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA App
Never got to far on earthbound but I did finish trigger. Also secrect of the mana was a great game. I don't have the patients to finish rpg's like I use to but they don't make rpg's like they used to.
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA App
It's true, they don't make them like that any more. About 2/3rds of the way through earthbound it gets all psychedellic and psychological and has a really gratifying end. I actually just finished it right now haha.
Maybe I'll do secret of mana next, since I've had that rom on my phone for a while
But speaking of roms, I'm off to try the latest gingervillain! I'm pretty hooked on virtuous, but last time I checked in on what the villain was up to, it was quite promising!
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA App
The only thing I really don't like about emu's on the G2 right now is the way the key mapping works. I wanted my D pad to be:
UP = Q
Left = .com
Right = A
Down = menu
But it wont let me choose those buttons. So I have to use W-S-Z-A. It's easier to track where your thumb is by the edge of the phone.
I wont be buying the game gripper because I have a case. I've thought about buying one anyways and modding it to fit but I really don't want to just throw away $20 right now.

yup, SOM is better then chono and earthbound
Final fantasy 7 beats em all.
Ff7 is where all the retards started playing because of the 3d graphics.
Ff6 had a better plot, story line, and probably the best soundtrack of any video game ever. Just look at any "greatest of all time games" list, sabin would slam cloud game anyday with a bumrush hahah
US ff2 was also really really good.
Sent from my T-Mobile G2 using XDA App
I liked cloud, I mean rpg's had to go 3d at some point even if it was best to stay at 2d. There has been a bunch of good 3d rpg's.
Swyped from my evo 4g using the xda app.
Ya, I'm definitely going for secret of mana next. Good times all around.
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA App
I have actually not played FF7. I still have the game and manual from when I bought it years ago.
I started playing FF8 and fell in love with that.
what emulator
what emulator is the best for the G2? and where are you guys finding roms?
Snesoid and super gnes both work really well. I think snesoid has a rom search engine inside it. That should help ya find stuff
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA App
Any of you guys ever had a chance to play Terranigma? awesome snes rpg!

I wasnt slamming on the graphics, I didnt like the story. If you like rpgs play jpn ff6/us ff3. It beats ff7 on every "best games of all time" list ive seen.
Alot of people say the ff7 is one of the most overrated games of all time.
Then again most of the time it comes down to which games you played as a kid. SNES was and still is the best system for me, followed by N64. Not nes since I wasnt really skilled enough at that age. Born in 84.
No, but I'm always on the lookout for a new one. Thanks!
I decided to play Mother 3, since I just finished earthbound, but I'm going to play secret of mana probably next. Then terranigma? I like having games to look forward to
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA App
Classic Games
Earthbound - great game, ending was amazing... Had never heard of it until a friend of mine spent like $40 on ebay to buy a copy!
Secret of Mana, Chrono Trigger, Secret of Evermore, FF3 (FF6) etc.. All Square (now SquareEnix) and all great games. When Square said they were not making games for the N64, but for Sony's PlayStation, I got a PS
Other RPGs (aside from the epic Link to the Past ). Lufia series (starts with Fortress of Doom), Breath of Fire, RoboTrek (very cartoony and 'PokeMon'-like... Developed by the same company that made Terranigma)
Don't forget the original phantasy star on genesis and sega cd. I liked the first super mario rpg. That was goofy but fun.

It looks and runs great....much smother than the same game on my epic 4g. Unfortunately, the fact that the A7 doesn't have multi touch makes it a little irritating to play. It can be done though. I haven't tried it with the xbox controller mod.
Sweet thanks. Will install it later.

What about the popular emulators like Gameboy and genesis? Do they play ok on the Elocity? Asking because of the multi touch.

They play amazing. I just got my Xbox 360 controllers in today. I've been stuck on Mario 3 Most of this evening! The NES,SNES,Genises, And GBA work great. But the PSX is not the best. Though it's hard enough on any device to get PSX emulator smooth enough to play more then once.
You would have to install the MOD from the XDA Fourm. But it's very much worth the time and effort.It's a tweak of Dexter's Mod, So your not losing anything.Hope that gives you a lil help
Happy gaming!
Thanks I<3Android
Will look into the mod soon.
How are emulators such as snesoid, gameboid, and psx4droid running on this? psx4droid or the other PS1 emulator running a lot better due to Tegra? Mine shipped today and will be here tomorrow and I'm just wondering...thanks!
FPSE is out for PSX emulation - it has worked well for Notion Ink Adam owners so far.

Yeah that's the one I meant. I've been playing around with it on my Droid X and it runs so much better than psx4droid. Do the emulators scale to the screen normally?
I havent personally tried yet as im waiting for my notion ink, but my friend has and says it works really well - you can choose the scaling in the options
awesome!
i just tried out pokemon fire red on gameboid. its hilarious to see it so big. lol. but it works great. scaling sound and controls are perfect.

Bluetooth Wiimote controller app still work as well? I'll end up using this as a damn portable >_<
Any word on that nullDC Dreamcast emu port? Should run a hell of a lot better on this beast!
Emulators are working great! Fullscreen and everything.
hmm i havent tried the wiimote just yet. i'm mid homework so ill give that a run in a few. ive never beleived in touch screen emulation other that games like pokemon or yugioh card games because movement isn't all that important. i cant imagine trying to run something like god of war without physical buttons.
Would anyone be kind enough to post a pic of their Xoom running snesoid, or any other emulator in 16:9 full screen/4:3 fullscreen? Mine was just delivered at my house but I'm stuck at work for another 6 hours...kill me. Thanks!

Yeah SNESoid and Gensoid are the top two I would use anyway (born in late 80s lol). It'll be interesting to see that nullDC (Dreamcast emu port) running on this. I know someone has it semi-running on some older hardware and it should run pretty decent on this.
n64droid is also right around the corner...who needs apps? XD
i havent got an emulator yet and might with the xoom since it seems perfect for this kind of thing. Do you have to buy games once you get the emulator or do the games come with them? my xoom comes in today, its already in the city im just waiting for delivery

You have to find a site that you can download them from, not mentioning any since it might be against the rules here. I mean, there are apps where you can pay for a pack of roms, but it's just a total rip off.
I actually do own all the games (even the old carts) that I download roms for though, so I'm 100% safe either way =P

alright thanks for the info. Im pretty good at searching so im pretty sure i can find them. They dont have to be android specific right?
Nope, not specific. Only specific thing is the emulator per platform. I suggest trying out snesoid lite before buying to make sure everything goes good.
Can you use the wiimote with the xoom?

Hitting the shoulder buttons looks like it would be a *****. Other than that, looks great!
Just buy RomBuddy from the market. Works great, you pay a couple bucks for RomBuddy but then you can download a metric **** ton of free roms for gameboy/nes/snes/genesis and such from it.
This isn't a ratings topic or a top whatever topic...This is a topic of what game you just can't get enough of. Don't get me wrong there's a lot of great games out there. I'm curious of the diversity of the crowd/ XP community.
For me...its Minecraft. I started playing it on android & after uninstalling to check out other games, I always bring it back. I like how smooth it runs. Its the one game that I have truly never had a problem with...but enough about my choice.

And Asphalt 7, but since i do development of roms, i mainly change roms so i dont stick with much gamez.
Being a classic gamer, I bought my xperia play mainly for emulators. The first console game I ever owned was Sonic 1 for the master system. Even these can always pick that up and not get bored
I found that the xperia play is great with NES and GBA emulators, maybe I'll try to get a SNES one soon as well.
pokemon FTW !!!
Pokemon and emulator gaming.

My Boy! is my favourite. The UI is tidy and easy to follow. It has the ability to disable linear filtering. Cheat support was included with the latest update. I get full speed in all the games I play without needing to use frameskip.
VGBA has good compatibility but the UI sucks and is battery heavy. Also the developer is employing dirty tricks like preventing people with LP installed from using the app.
GBA.emu you would expect to be good but performs very poorly on the Xperia PLAY and other single core devices. You get lag every 10-15s with frameskip on, and is slow as hell/unplayable with frameskip off.
Gameboid used to be my favourite until My Boy! replaced it. Both Gameboid and My Boy! are similar in the UI and performance. My Boy! is slightly better in both those areas, and seeing as Gameboid is no longer being developed, it made sense to buy My Boy!.
Sonic episodes 1 & 2
