Rom gripper, and rom gripper ++ are taken off the market. The apps no longer work. Psx4 droid has also been taken off the market.
it looks like google is finally starting the war on emulation X{
Its not a war on emulation. Its a war on pirated games.

What's wrong with me playing Rockman on my nesoid? It's not like I can go out and buy an NES to play it with.
I am of the opinion that if nintendo put out high quality, official emulators, and charged like 10$ for them, I would buy them.
I don't like pirating games, I like playing classics.

Yea lol they freak out when you don't pay to play a game that hasn't been on sale for 20 years but are to lazy to make anything so you can play it legally and they can make almost pure profit because they don't need to put any money into game design.

The point is that it is pirated. I can promise you, if some one contacted nintendo, asked permission to dev out emulators and digital.games, they would syrike a deal with them.whether or not you agree with, its still pirating games, we all do it to a point im sure, but rom gripper was a whole other realm.

So my son plays games on my phone..he is 6 and purchased Frogger Pro. It was only $1.99 but is there a way that I am missing for the phone to have to ask for my password before a purchase after a certain time etc? Or should I just get a app lock program for it?
There is a 24 hour refund period for all app purchases if that helps.
Put a lock on your phone and smack him for using it, then get him a Hero or something.

Awwwwh Man! lol, nah its all good, Ill put a app lock on it
Let him play Frogger sheesh... it's only 1.99 or buy him an XBOX or something so he doesn't have to use your phone to play games. I think i'd be pretty happy if my 6 year old was responsible enough to only download 1 game for a measly 1.99 most kids nowadays would go crazy and rack up hundreds of dollars in no time. I know my nephew did it to his father LOL
If I remember correctly, over on HoFo someone posted a story about a kid who bought a $999 app from the iPhone app store
He has a wii, I got an xbox360, and ps2, and he has an ipod 3rd gen touch. Lol. And all his disney games on the computer lol. Im using app lock tho, works good but seems laggy.

From what I've seen, majority of the work this guy did was import source code from other open-source emulators (ex. snesoid was based on snes9x). He took this and put them up for sale which is, I'm assuming the biggest reason that they were removed from the market.
It's like that Akaskriller dude, he takes the work of others and edits it a little bit and puts it up for sale (monthly fee, same thing) and the community gets all up-in-arms about it but when something like this happens its big bad Google at fault. It's nice of him to put it up for free but they should have been free from the beginning.

This is the biggest reason I refused to use yongzh's emulators. Now that they're available for free I might check it out but it's not high on my list of priorities. Heck, Plants vs. Zombies just came out on Amazon!
Im not so sure about his work being fake. His N64 Emulator was better than the other one in the market, the other one is rated with 2 stars, his was rated with 4 and a half i think. At least in my phone, N64oid works better than N64 Arcade. And now that its free, its even better! xD
It is still not free--on slideME it is $.30.

So the emulators are gone from the market.. So what happens to those who bought the emulators? I had bought psx4droid and snes4droid,. Now that they are gone, do the people get a refund or something?. Or is google promoting piracy?. Even the game Dropblock that i had bought also is nowhere to be found... If there were legal issues with these games then they shouldn't have been in the marketplace in the first place!!
Oh google.. Thanks for the corruption..

You are implying more than just facts those.
I ended up getting the slideme versions when they were free, but I too was kind of bummed since I had already bought one or two of them. However if this guy was ripping off code and being douchey, well I am glad he was at least inconvenienced, sucks that we all end up out a few bucks too (although as long as the program is backed up the emulators will still work...).

I'm sure there is, but asking about warez here is only going to get you banned and have you ever though that the games might be basic because of people like you? what developer would want to make a game, if people are just going to steal it.
There are no decent games and even if there were good ones the controls will suck balls, the touch pads are a joke and who in their right mind would pay 1-10 bucks for a game that can be beat in an hour? I would just stick with fpse

Mass piracy has not stopped successful games from selling in any platform. The truth is that games are basic because we're not paying premium prices. A price range from 0 to 5 euro a pop won't buy you inventive stories, memorable voice acting and intricate, long gameplay. It will buy you Cut the Rope, Battle Bears or Eternal Legacy.
Too expensive? These games are about £3 at most, with a lot coming under that. The games are good, but the uptake of the play has been a bit slow so devs wont bother optimizing for it! Its down to Sony to get them to port their games across.
IMO the best games you can get are the ones that are pre installed on the play and Dungeon Defenders, other than that FPSE and the ~oid range are your best bets

I agree. The majority of people who pirate would likely not buy the movies/games/software anyway. I'm sure some would but most wouldn't. And the games’ being basic is because the devs are developing for the lowest common denominator which is the crapy touch screens. If we do get good Play Only games they will likely come from anyone with a steak in the Xperia Play.

QFT.
The touchpad/analog controls in some of the games are implimented in different ways. Some are true analog, and others are swipe. Some people like it one way, others like it another. I honestly wish they would allow an option to switch. However, there are plenty of decent games available for this phone, that although they may cost about US$5, that isn't terribly much. A coffee, or a game. even if the game is short, you would probably reach the same amount of enjoyment time from it.
If all else fails, there are some decent to good emulators out there and you can play all the old games you have from back in the day. NES, SNES, Genesis, Master System, NeoGeo, PSX/PS1, N64, etc. I think there is even some MAME goodness floating around for arcade carts/ROMs.
If you can't find a good game that works decently with the controller in that whole huge mess, then I suggest that maybe your criteria is set too high, and you would have problems finding suitable items on any platform at that high of quality requirement at that low of a price.

I'm sorry if I "attaked you" in any way. But you're very negative 90% of the time. And I'm not the only one who thinks that. You don't have to say that the phone is crap, useless, the controls sucks and so on, because they don't. It's enough to say "I don't like it, it doesn't fits my needs". Just saying.
"You don't have to say that the phone is crap, useless, the controls sucks and so on, because they don't. "
Show me where I ever said that? Quit making **** up. I love the phone. The controls are great if the game is developed properly for them. I have stated many times that the battle bears game has them done right. I have said Gameloft games need better controls. Since I have 6 of them I have a right to state my opinion on them. Most of my posts are questions or helping others.
BTW "You're just a cranky little kid who can't figure out how to play with your controls" Is an attack.
