Pretty much an official endorsed psx4droid then
Personally I'm very happy with PSX4Droid. If Sony's software beats it, then that's good, but otherwise I'm quite happy!!
LOL, don't get your hopes too high man, doubt our HD2 can be "PlayStation Certified" by Sony, being an unofficial android device, probably get locked out from the PS store
But still, official PS emulator.. arghh
Unfortunately our hd2s aren't going to have the nice slide out playstation controller like that phone does.
I'm about to transfer the insides of the msi bluetooth controller into a super nintendo controller and try to modify it to attach to my hd2 somehow. I'll post pictures of it once I finish it. It's a shame no manufacturer has released a decent bluetooth controller that can attach to smartphones yet. Even the old msi controllers are nearly impossible to find anymore... I had to pay $80 to get a used one from ebay.... it'll be worth it if this modified snes controller turns out good.

Seems much cheaper to me to buy a Wii controller off Ebay for $10.00. Just use that in conjunction with Wiimote Controller from the Market and voila, you've got a great joypad for any xxxDroid emulator.

The wii controller doesn't have as many buttons... the snes controller is setup just like a ps1 controller so its perfect for psx4droid. The wii controller is really thick and big, too, and it won't be as easy to modify to attach to the phone as easily and be confortable to hold. My idea with attaching the snes controller to the phone is gonna make it really nice and portable... it'll attach to the phone in landscape so it will look similar to the new playstation phone , except the controller will be removeable and i'm gonna try to make it universally attachable to any phone, so i can use it still if i get a new phone.
Also, I don't think the wii controller will work with sense builds unless they solved that issue.

I suspect we'll be able to play games that are written with a subset of the Playstation gaming SDK. It's obviously not gonna let us play games of the quality that you find on the console. It'll probably be like the Xbox Live games that you can play on WP7. You're never gonna play something the quality of Halo 3 on there, just like we're never gonna play Killzone 3.

I really want an HTC Incredible, but without a physical keyboard, I am concerned I won't be able to play games that require a game-pad type controller. For anyone playing games running emulators on the Incredible, how is this working out?

they sell bluetooth controllers if thats your main concern... I gave up on emulators on phones a long time ago... the apps that you can download are nice if I want to play games like that I'll just use my DS or PSP and save my phone battery
You can use a Wii Remote! At least, I know they're working on it.
But that's something else to carry with you. Might as well get a DS with a flash cart or something.
But yeah, using emulators on this device is pretty worthless for anything other than turn based RPGs.
uising multitouch like iphone
Oh yeh, you can now actually PLAY the games and the Xoom is officially supported. Touch controls are a bit dodgy so i was kinda hoping some clever person might get PS3 or Xbox controllers working but until then the official wireless controller is due out very soon.
Anyway, get it here: http://t.co/BIFyGpDR and enjoy.

Yeah, i'm gonna see if I can get the ps3 controller working with it, that would be awesome =]
My wired 360 controller through an OTG cable worked perfectly. This is a huge deal. Played split second and it looked great, lag wasn't an issue, I am impressed.
Got the app, we'll see what comes of this. Touchscreen is gonna have to go for me, not a fan of touchscreen controls especially when there's physical controller options. Tried a Saitek 6 button and a PS2 controller/adapter through the OTG... both let me use the analog stick and d-pad but no other buttons. Looks like it's time to bite the bullet and get the wired 360 controller.
Does the 360 controller work with navigating the menus, pausing and all that? And does the Xbox button do anything with OnLive?

Yeah it has full functionality built in with the wired controller. When you press the Xbox button it brings up the Onlive menu. It works REALLY well honestly
I'm guessing that OnLive will cotton on to that eventually and release an update to make all controllers except their own incompatible.
Having said that, has anyone tried using a wired controller with the USB adaptor that let's you use it with a PC? I'm guesting that only works with drivers but still......
The app actually runs ok when using my MiFi which i was surprised at. Although with a ping of anything over 70ms the controller lag gets a bit annoying.
Sent from my Optimus 2X using XDA App
After a few days with the app I'm pretty impressed. I gave the $10 a month plan a try so I could really get a good idea (plus compare against the PC version.)
The wired 360 controller works flawlessly and I agree, I could see them blocking the non-OnLive controller once it's released, or if they were smart after a little more adoption. The flawlessness goes away once you fire a game up though. There was some lag, and trying to play a couple multi-player shooters was dreadful. Playing these same games on the PC with the same controller was a noticeable improvement (of course, but just pointing that out).
Games look great on the Xoom but when I run it to the TV it's pretty low quality. Tried a few TVs, went through all kinds of TV settings, nothing made it look any better than PSX quality. Actually some PSX games have looked better on tube TVs to me. Could be a Xoom limitation, version 1 of the app, or a little of both. I could do without the mirroring on my tablet.
Sweet, Borderlands is included in the $10/month plan! Oh wait, here's a message that it won't run on tablets...
OnLive has some work to do with this, but it's very ambitious and I'm 100% behind this idea. They'll have some challenges now since they've gone to having a micro-console and PC/Mac apps to also having multiple Android tablets and phones and Apple tablets and phones. As far as this app on the Xoom, I would hold off on spending money with OnLive until the app gets a little better.
i like snes via ps3 controller on xoom - hooked up to tv - so this would be pretty nice too I bet!
Got my wired xbox controller today and it works brilliantly as previously confirmed. Just gotta hope OnLive don't go and nobble it's compatibility cos it was £25 cheaper than the official one.
Still, if they do, i can always use it with my xbox/PC......lol
Might actually buy a few play-passes now. Just gotta hope that 3 somehow manage to improve the latency on their MiFi so i can play on the go. Dreaming?

Has anyone got the Xbox 360 wireless controller to work with the OnLive app on the Xoom?
I'm using the official Motorola OTG cable with an official Xbox 360 Wireless Gaming Receiver (http://goo.gl/Rhi0q). The combination works brilliantly for emulators like SNES9X but it doesn't seem to work with OnLive. It registers the left analog stick, the start button (goes back to the Xoom home screen), and buttons A & B which seem to be the equivalent of Esc on the keyboard.
If there's no trick or an app I could use to map the controller to keyboard commands, etc. I might have to get a wired 360 controller specifically for OnLive.
Downloaded onlive today and so far its just alright. the lag and graphics need to be fixed, i'm on 25mbs wireless n and it lags. I have also got my sixaxis controller working via Bluetooth and everything works except right trigger in dirts 3 and split second.
oh sweet it does pick up controllers, yeah the lag is gonna fixed or people might have overloaded the service today. totoally worth it for the free game
Not available in Japan yet.
well it doesnt need to be ...
does the ps3 controller only work for certain games?
how about with lego batman since that is free
Well, I got it to work, and it seems ok, but I would like a higher resolution. Does it work with xbox360 controller or PS3?
I works with xbox 360 controler. For me there is no lags, but graphics looks bad. Waiting for updates - maybe they will do it better

is your 360 controller wired?
As for the resolution, I have noticed this since I have been using onlive for sometime. On my computer monitor it doesn't look that pretty, but when played on my htpc to my big screen looks amazing only time will tell they most likely will be fixing this soon.
On a side note I am having a wet dream were valve buys them
Im loving it. Installed last night and got up this morning with legobatman in my games! No lag here and i have crap broadband, with bt, Loads of games that i love for only a couple of quid! Game on ppl
P.S. xbox controller working for me, now i can play assassins creed revelations at work, llluuusssshhhhhh!
I dont have a 360 controller but i have read about somewhere and for sure it works.
The xbox 360 wired controller works great with onlive, but I have only played lego batman.

I can use it with emulators, but in shadowgun I just spin. The driver program is probably worth a shot, if not maybe I'll just get a PS3 controller.
Has anyone else thought of emulators on the ouya? Playing retro games on the big screen again would be great. Personally this is one of the biggest reasons I'm excited for the console. Can't wait to play ocarina of time.

I've bought/pre ordered the ouya primarily for xbmc, but being able to pay some classics like shadow run and legend of Zelda, whilst lying in bed on a Sunday morning is massively appealing.
It's starting to feel like Christmas with the release just around the corner and I'm looking forward to seeing what the devs around here do when they get their mucky paws on it.
cooool
No, I prefer something like the Xperia Play for emulators, though its a bit out dated in term of performance. But the Ouya should do emulators really well too. I'm mainly getting the Ouya to use as an HTPC.
ditto.
I backed OUYA mainly for XBMC but the fact that I can run emulations is a bonus. imaging DosBox with all the old school Sierra games, on the big screen.
Emulate
God i totally love the idea of using emulators on this it's another reason i purchased it. On my phone gs2 i use the playstation emulators gameboy eveyrthing now to be able to do it on a tv.... man im excited
Search YouTube. Tons of videos of devs using side loaded emulators to play old school games on the Ouya. It's reality, folks.

Honestly, there's not really more "possibility" with emulation on the Ouya than there is on any other somewhat recent Android device.
There is one bad thing. The focus Ouya team are now placing on emulators could result in unneeded focus on the subject and gaming company retained lawyers could be out for money. Kind of like when MP3 started getting popular and you had a lot of one hit wonders trying to sue for a back catalogue that nobody even bought when they were new. Saturday Night Live had a funny skit about that.
Ouya had better be careful, since they are pushing it as a feature, which will be like a bleeding cut in the water to lawyers.

I dunno about having to worry that much about emulation and the legalities for the OUYA. Heck, google play sells emulators that can be used on any android device. the ouya is that itself.. just another android device. emulation isn't illegal..
The emulation is not illegal, only the BIOS and the Games which are downloaded
are more or less illegal. These would have to be copied from your own console with
special equipment... nobody does this in the time of internet.
Theoretically this things could be free to download if the copyright owner allows this.
There is also my idea, that Nintendo and others aren't interested in forbidding emulation
for some (not every) console and that's why they aren't fighting against emulation.
In Ouya you can download and install anything... So, doesn't matter if it's legal or not...
Has anyone tested the Interworks Controller Pro U (aka Retro Classic Controller) with the Ouya (or any Android device)? I'm especially interested in joystick functionality...
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727
I've sideloaded SNES9X emu, works good. Started playing chrono trigger, it nice it has an option to let joystick function as dpad.
I'm about to see n64oids performance on the ouya. If it does run smoothly then I guess I will be replaying Zelda oot
I personally prefer mupen64. Ouya is plenty powerful enough for it anyway
Emulators
Emulators, I hadn't even thought of that, now I'm really excited about the Ouya, mine should be arriving very soon... I think some companies turn a blind eye to very old emulated games because it keeps their IP popular, which for some franchises still has some value.
For now, i managed to work gba, nes, snes, genesis, psx and n64 emulators via sideloading and all worked smooth with posibility of assign hardware pad buttons to them
There are 3 emulators in the OUYA store.
1. EMUya for NES emulation with intergrated ROM store (I'm sure this won't go forever, pretty much illegal).
2. Mugen64 is an N64 emulator which works better than any N64 I tested before, plus it's already mapped to work with the OUYA controller and does so flawlessly. No lag whatsoever
3. 2 different SNES emulators which also work very good. One of them is already altered to work perfect with the OUYA the other one is a known one from the play store.
I got the ouya especially for emulation, because hooking up my Galaxy S3 via HDMI to the TV and using a PS3 wireless controller was too much of a hassle and had a crazy input lag. With the OUYA no input lags at all.
Feels like playing the real consoles. Finally.
I am very impressed by the hardware. The CPU and GPU leapfrog every other set top box on the market. But for me, Google really needs to invest more of its developers into fixing the software situation. That's the only way I will believe they aren't planning to abandon it like they have so many other ventures.
Gaming matters, but not in the way most people think IMO. No one will ever opt for this over a PS4. Trying to compete with dedicated consoles is a fools errand. Abandon that pipe dream and instead work on making this device the perfect companion device to our gaming consoles. Aim to make it so that anything you can do with a htpc, you can do with the nexus player. Let us install emulators on it. Let us get our PS4 or Ouya controllers working flawlessly on it. Let us stream games from our desktops steam library on it. Work with sony to get playstation tv and ps4 remote play on it.
Google, offer to code these apps and support for third party controllers (ps4 controller, xbox 360 controller, wii u pro controller and Ouya controller) yourself if that’s what it takes to get these controllers working flawlessly on the Nexus Player. We all have ps4, 360, wii u pro or Ouya controllers lying around. Don't make us buy more controllers, make drivers yourself if need be to let us use any of our existing Bluetooth controllers on the nexus player flawlessly.
This article to me is on point... http://www.digitaltrends.com/home-theater/7-things-googles-nexus-player-must-succeed/
Do those and you will turn me into active developer for your device.
So what about you. What does Google have to do to get you to develop for the nexus player?
Nothing really. I am tired of developing simple games for small screens and would love to jump to developing games for the big screen but without obstacles that big consoles put on indie devs. I will port at least tree of my games immediately I get hands on it (which might take time, Google doesn't ship to Poland). I am also developing a new platformer game with a mini console as a main target (and multiplayer like in Rayman Legends) in mind.

Totaly agree, some people dont like the PS controlls but someone likes XBOX controlls people should just get to select what controlls them want to use to the device.
