Hi I was wondering if it is possible to make like a emulator of iphone for our Android devices, so that we can play iphone games. I know Android market is growing and soon we will overtake apple market but I dont think that will be so soon. For now is it possible to make a Emulator of iphone/ipad so that we can play the games?

Simple, No
The task you ask is a great one, neigh on impossible to do on current phone hardware. The games would run terribly, the OS wouldn’t be properly loaded. And the coding to do so would be great. Oh, and it would be highly illegal
its possible i see some games in other forum, i tried them on topaz android run but not fast enough

I think his referring to ports of games, not the iPhone games itself being emulated within Android....
As to me Topaz is either the Linux GTK theme manager, or the port of Android to Touch Pro 2 project... Neither of them make sense in his sentence
Its sad! There is way too many games for Ipad
with the new android phones packing 1ghz and some with dedicated gpu, I wonder if this is possible now

It still results into Steve Jobs suing the dev. If you remember the whole iPhone 4 incident

Not so sure about this though. Emulating another platform's app on a secondary platform has been done before and sure isn't illegal. For instance, the StyleTap PalmOS emulator which is out for WinMo and iPhone OS and it sure is legal. Only problem is that with android emulating iPhone apps/games. Apple will be the one that is going to kick up a fuss about it.
so who wants to start writing a binary translation layer? =D

If it was ever to be developed it would be something similar to Wine on Linux which has been going for years successfully, so not illegal but apple would kick up a fuss.
Another simple way, get those dev of iPhone games to come over to Android ASAP. Those dev need to know that Android is on the rise against iPhone, just like China rising against the USA.
Any devs out there I think this would be a great project and I am willing to donate. Maybe rather than code from scratch it could be ported the Windows Mobile version?
Yong Zhang, developer of -oid emulators (Gensoid, Snesoid, etc) currently working on one. Here is his replies to my question about it:
May 24:
"Not me alone. I am working closely with ZodTTD, the developer of psx4iphone "
"Should be in a month or shorter."
wow, that's great. finally people are moving from iphone platform to android! hurray!
Here's a article from Droid Gamers with some Screenshots
http://www.droidgamers.com/index.ph...ame-news/338-playstation-emulator-for-android
... Cant wait to play FFVII on my desire!!!
has there been any beta releases or anything for testing purposes? this looks very very promising!
GemRB is a reimplementation of the Infinity Engine. For those of you unfamiliar, it is the engine that powered games such as Baldur's Gate, Planescape Torment, and Icewind Dale. It seems porting is possible, but someone needs to compile it for Android, together with:
-SDL
-Python
-OpenAL
Here's more details about it: http://gemrb.sourceforge.net/wiki/doku.php
And a more or less interesting preview: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=icyAgs3dFqU
I also suggest we set up a bounty for whoever gets this working, by starting a donation fond once somebody sings up for the job.
If you're interested in developing, please introduce yourself below.

I'm making port to Android. Game works good on my Desire HD. There are some small issues, but I will soon resolve it. The port will work on devices with WVGA or higher resolution displays.

I think, no. Game resources are a commercial product, but the engine does not work without them. But the engine will be available for download from the web.
sounds good.......
.
Any estimations when it might be done?

I need a some time to solve issue with moving application to background. Publish soon. Planescape is not fully playable because some features is not implemented in GemRB. WidescreenMod also works in all games except IWD.

This feature available in pelya's SDL port. I'll enable it, but can't test, because my Desire HD has no joystick.
I am well excited - keep up the good work!

I can test it for you if you want, regular Desire here
I would also like to test this if possible.
HTC Evo 4G
Rooted running Evervolv AOSP ROM
I plan to publish port next week.
Port needs up to 150 MBytes of free RAM on device, and maybe more. I have nothing to do with it. This is original GemRB engine requirement.
Only modern powerful phones will run GemRB.
Wow! That's cool, heard about a N900 port last year but luckily never bought one but a Milestone instead
Baldurs Gate 2 will save my Christmas Holidays
Available in Market. Enjoy )
#wowowow simply wow
Installing now - been playing Neverwinter 2 all week co-op with a mate. This is what I wanted for my phone for AGES!!
- Dont think we will get Never winter on our current gen of devices
- I am hoping that bluetooth mouse will work properly......
Thanks so much for your work on this
Really: THANK YOU SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO MUCH FOR DOING THIS! YOU SAVED MY CHRISTMAS HOLIDAYS. MERRY CHRISTMAS!
Ok 2 questions.
1) Is there any way to save and load state of game on Tiger Mame?
It's a dam awesome emulator, but quite useless as a mobile game emulator without save states !
2) Are there any decent Android MAME emulators that enable to play arcade games other than cps1/2/neo geo?
I want to play arcade versions of outrun/double dragon/golden axe. Stuff like that.
Thank in advance for replies.
Honestly, I think it's really funny that he's calling his app "Tiger MAME" because I don't think his app is actually MAME whatsoever. Judging from the specific games that are supported and those which are not, it matches up almost perfectly with the Final Burn series of emulators.
1) Nope.
2) Nope, not until we get an actual REAL port of MAME.
Agreed about the name, but I think he renamed to TigerArcade (MAME), so people would relate more to what it plays. It really should have been called TigerRaine or TigerFinalBurn, since those are the rom sets it works best with.
MAME rom sets are moving targets to work, due to platform updates of the MAME app.
This app is better for just emulating what it does, since that is why it plays EVERY rom full speed with sound, even on the Incredible. Far less overhead than MAME, since only supporting a few platforms.
There are/were a few that played some, but not all of MAME4All rom sets (played about half). Jironi Arcade is the name and is still in market, but has issues with Gingerbread (the dev knows and is working on it).
It doesn't matter how many ROMs a build of MAME supports, it doesn't speed things up any by removing them.
want to play more roms on my xperia play like splatterhouse , Ghost n Goblins and Bionic Commnd and More Games
yes please can some devs make a mame port that would be brilliant
just think of all those games that mame supports
damn i would need a 64gb card lol
Get to work then.
If TigerArcade had save states it would be a great emu.
Surely not too hard to do from the Dev considering he has done it in all his other emus?
I agree about the save states thing...the only other problems I've noticed is that some Capcom games have sound issues (Ghouls 'n Ghosts, Strider). The music is total static with those.
We really need a proper port of MAME to Android.
Just curious. Since open source emulators exist for MAME, is it an easy matter (for someone in the know) to just compile the code for the Android platform? I only know a bit of programming, but I'd be willing to learn how to port to get a Mame emulator on my android device. But since there is none currently for Android, I'm assuming it's not too easy a task.

There is no Java version of MAME, so you'd have to port it to Java before you can think about porting it to Android.

Didn't even realize most Android programs were written in Java. There was this project called Jape, but it's unfinished and looks abandoned since 2006. The source is available though, with a paper titled, "How to port MAME from C to Java".
Lol. I took a few peeks at the code. This may take a while...
I guess there's also the NDK, which would allow you to avoid porting to Java, I believe.. but I know very little about it.

you can often found ports very close to the original in compilations for gameboy advance or PS1 which you can play with Gameboid or FPSe.
For example, for GBA, you have Out Run in Sega Arcade Gallery compilation, Double Dragon in Double Dragon Advance, Golden Axe in Sega Smash Pack.
Ghosts'n Goblin is found in Capcom Generations Vol.2 for the PS1.
I got a DOS port of mame working through aDOSbox, but not to a point where it's playable. The games launch, albeit incredibly slow. Controls are a ***** too. Details and pics on my blog, though there's not much to see. Still, it's the currently the only way to get MAME on the Android I've found.
Hey its jwhood again,it wont let me download that link in your blog for the dosmame says your not aloud can u fix it really appreciated bro,great work,its a start : )

Few performance games on Android are written in Java.
Big studios use a C/C++codebase hooked in via the NDK.
Smaller studios tend to use C# or Javacript with the brillant game engine Unity3D
Yeah, I mentioned the NDK already.
JRioni's emulators don't support the plays controls and if you manage to get any response from the guy, you should play the lottery that day. Haven't had much luck with tigermame on a number of devices a while back, and was extra frustrated by the way it searches for roms instead of letting you select a rom directory. Not everyone is a douchebag who throws roms on the root of their SD card. Anyway, since people seem to be having luck with it, maybe its been updated and resolved some of these issues.
http://www.engadget.com/2012/01/23/psp-games-playstation-certified-devices-ESRB/
they are converting games to work for some devices.
thought it would be nice to update you lot since alot of people ask about psp games on xperia play or any devices
i hope it work for the xperia play i dont see why not if its being developed by sony but not worth getting your hopes up for yet just wait and see for more info

I agree, I want to be excited for this but how many more times are we going to get nuggets like this with absolutely 0 results. Every month its "coming out next month"
It gives me hope. Aren't play and sony s/p the only ps sertified devices at the moment?

I think there's a Jap only Arc variant that's PS certified and I think I read the S and Ion will be PS certified when they launch
Very Nice.
This makes me wonder, if they are being emulated is there any chance of doing same trick as with Playstation pocket, y know
Playing your own PSone games on Plays native emulator
Would be pretty neat

Someone refer this guy to Yifan Lu's PSXperia.
actually i was looking and ive been wondering if they will overhaul the emulator to stop the current flaw if not we have a chance otherwise we need another good developer to start reverse engineering the moment it comes out
True True he's a noob to this no sweat lol

At the moment i guess psp emulation is taboo, and it will probably never emulate games like kingdom hearts, crisis core, or dissidia, yeah im a square fan, sorry

please please just forget about psp emulation its extremely hard and wont happen on our device by any devs on here. unless sony announces that they are releasing a psp emulator in playstation suite (about a 2% chance) then out it to the back of your head and never mention it. it just wont happen for technical reasons.

My keyword was IF
If these upcoming PSP titles for PS store are truly emulated, could it be cracked/hacked/tamed or just used for our own games just like PSXperia does with PSX tittles ?
But i agree its unlikely, they are possibly ported, but if if

well i believe they are ported so have been changed ti run natively on arm devices (such as our play) but if it is emulated there is a slight chance that it could be abused in such a way as psxperia is.
on a side note if you download any ps1 games off the market such as medievil they have updated them to 1.0.4 which has a license check each time it starts which may stop psxperia working in ice cream sandwich with a updated crash apk to 1.0.4 if they force it
(this is actaully bad as it means your phone uses alot more data checking licenses which doesnt bother me as i have unlimited data allowance but other users may get annoyed if they have a small limited amount of data)
