games on HTC Incredible

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.

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.

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.

it uses a bluetooth adapter right? if so, it does work but I think you do need the app feom market

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.

Ps3 controller

Any using one with gameloft Games like nova or 9mm?
Thanks

Those games don't support controller functions. (I tried)

You need the sixaxis app from the market. it takes a lot of work with the screen tap emulation to get it just right, but it is well worth it. I play modern combat 3 with my ps3 controller, so it should work on anything.

Ya I have been screwing with sixaxis and a Sony branded ps3 bt controller. Finally got my own used one. Paired it up and with some touch mapping I can play gta very well. And about 9mm and Nova I'm still testing profiles for each but was able to play both with my controller. Just tested a few basic functions like anolog stick left and right and some other controls. Hows MC3 I'd like to try it. So far I'm fully set for gta and am working on 9mm and nova2 mappings, and I'm going to map air attack HD, madden 12 (if do able), NFS shift, and NFS hotpursuit, would like to do mc3 as well. Waiting to find the perfect settings for the buttons...

How hard was the touch mapping? I'd like to give this a try. I could buy the non dualshock controller since I doubt vibration works anyway.

Gta supports ps3 controller without touch mapping. Fyi

Not really hard at all. I did airattack HD last night and the tricky part was setting it to relative touch and getting the anolog button sensetivity right. For gta I noticed it worked without touch profile but it wasn't controlling right so I did one anyway. I have started on 9mm and Nova. Should be done with those Tonight after work.

Ok, I don't own a PS3 gaming console, so I have a stupid question.
Do I just need to go to the store and buy a bluetooth PS3 controler, or is there a off brand one that works well also?
Thanks!
EDIT: something like this I suppose... http://www.google.com/products/cata...a=X&ei=IpcUT5zUM8HgsQKFs4DsAw&ved=0CHgQ8wIwBA

Pretty sure off brand ones will work but I know from experience the Sony sixaxis works great. Used ones can be bought on ebay for around 25 bucks... or go New.
Sent from my A500 flexstriker using XDA Premium

Will do. Thanks.

Off brand ones don't always work with sixaxis, might not work with gta. I bought and returned one before getting the official ps3 one. The legit ps3 controller works great wired without sixaxis, or wireless with sixaxis. Also, the ps3 keyboard works greas as a wireless keyboard and mouse.

Looks like the only "for sure" is to get the controller with the Sony name on it. Quick question for those that run this setup. The Dual Shock controller has the "rumble" does that work with the tablet setup? If not, I would hope to find one without the dual shock to save a little cash. Seems like writing the program to use the rumble would be a lot of unnecessary work.

How does it run emulators?

So this device apparently starts shipping tomorrow right? When it does can someone please download some emulators and try them out? I would like to especially see the performance of PPSSPP, the PSP emulator. I would be eternally grateful to you. If you have access to various Bluetooth controllers I would like to hear about the compatibility of those as well if possible

Yes, If this product can smoothly run some of the games I have downloaded, then I should be picking one up. I'm sure it going to be hard to download games with such limted storage, but hopefully someone can showcase some quality android titles. It basically has OUYA specs; however, with a more powerful CPU. I want to buy one, as it would be my first Nexus product. Some cool titles I would want to see runnig: MC5, GT racing as Asphalt 8 I've seen, and Need For Speed Most Wanted.
As a regard to emulators, It has 8gb of storage, good luck!

Yeah if this had a Tegra K1 chip in it I would've been there Day 1 no questions asked, but as it is standing I'd rather wait and see some impressions first.

I would hardly say the ouya's GPU compares to the G6430.

Yeah, definitely. It outscores the GeForce ULP in the Tegra 3 by 2x-10x depending on the benchmark, and specifically handles the higher resolution (like the 1080p at which these devices tend to run) much better. Given the fact that even the Ouya was able to emulate up through the N64 reasonably well I think that the Nexus Player will make a great emulation device.

I believe it was the Ars Technica review where they had the N64 emulator running on it flawlessly. Seems emulation will be great on this box (seemingly one of only a few strong points).

Oh man, thanks for the reply. I was looking to emulate PSP games more than anything but I guess up to N64 and maybe Dreamcast is fine as well.

I use my N64 and SNES emulators and they work great!! It runs better than my Xbox one which sucks at most things.

Here are some pictures of it on my TV using Super GNES and Mupen64
The pictures I took aren't the best but it runs great. You can map the buttons on the gamepad however you want which makes it great and my wife loves it

Just wanted to chime in here and say that it works perfectly fine with the Wii U USB adapter and a Wii U Pro controller. Just make sure the adapter switch is set on the Xinput setting

how many controllers does the adapter support at one time?

I'm using the PCE.emu and Neo.emu and they work fine. Only thing that makes me crazy is that sideloaded apps are too large for the TV display, some menu options are difficult to read. Does anybody know if there is a way to adjust the resolution for sideloaded apps so they fit the TV screen properly?

The listing on Amazon says that it supports up to 4 controllers with the 'direct input' mode, however I tried using the direct input mode and it seemed to not want to use the d pad and all of the buttons performed the same action. Using 'xinput' (I think this just emulates the Xbox controller input) everything mapped perfectly and all was well, the bad news is that it can only do 1 controller at a time using this method, so you'd need 1 usb adapter per controller. Also I have only 1 Wii U Pro controller so I don't have any way to test if multiple controllers even work with the direct input mode, it's worked perfectly with 'xinput' so I haven't moved it from there.
Its hard to see there but on the side there's a toggle switch that lets you pick between 'dinput' and 'xinput'.

How does one install the emulator? Do I need to do this over adb ? If so, how can I download an apk from the play store?

I can't get Super GNES to work. I install it and it says there is a new version on the play store and for me to download it. Well I downloaded it from the play store so I don't see how its not the newest version. Where are you getting your version of Super GNES?

If the app you want to "sideload" is in the normal Play store, all you have to do is load up the Play store on your computer then click install and select your Nexus Player as the device. That simple. You'll also want to install Chainfire's Sideload Launcher app from the Play store as well, as that makes accessing non-android tv optimized apps easier:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=eu.chainfire.tv.sideloadlauncher&hl=en
If you have an apk you'd rather install manually, you'll have to use adb and an a cable or use ES File Explorer (or equivalent) to transfer the apk from your computer/etc over wifi. There are already a few topics in these threads that discuss how.

I got the same error with the (non-free) non-lite version of GNES. Tried the (free) lite version and that works fine (version 1.5.4). I'm not too experienced with sideloading, but perhaps the non-free nature of the full version of SuperGNES is the issue? The free version sucks though, since you can't load saved states, so it seems I can't continue my progress even though the ROM in question has save functionality.

Just wanted to share my experiences so far, since this is one of the bigger reasons I bought the NP. I've managed to load NES.emu, 2600.emu, MAME4Droid (0.37b5), and Mupen64 AE so far.
Installing apps:
Like many have suggested, I was able to load a couple of apps like ES Explorer and NES.emu through the Google Play web site and selecting the NP as the installation target. However, MAME and a couple of other apps would not install this way, so I have to sideload Aptoide and use that to install the remaining apps. Note that since no web browser is available, I had to use another tablet to identify the stores where apps could be found, and add them manually before selecting apps and installing them.
Navigation:
For the most part, the remote suffices, but it's not perfect. I installed ChainFire's Sideload Launcher, as only NES.emu shows up in my apps menu on the home screen. However, I happened to own a Nyko Playpad (not the Pro) from a while ago that I never really used. While I can't recommend it as a great gaming controller, it does have one key feature that turns it from run-of-the-mill control pad to ultimate NP utility. It contains a switch that allows you to switch between HID, iCade, Mouse, and App modes. It's the Mouse setting that makes this controller truly useful, because without it, I couldn't navigate around MAME to set up my control pad, or navigate around Mupen64 to quit out of a game (how else are people achieving this? Just quitting out?) Basically, to really set up many of the emus properly, you need some kind of mouse input, so it's nice that I can switch the Playpad back and forth between HID and Mouse modes as needed.
Performance:
Obviously, NES.emu and 2600.emu are not really demanding, so they work "flawlessly" (as in, any problems are due to the emulators, not the NP.) I also chose the smaller MAME, and nothing in there really pushes the system too hard. Street Fighter II Turbo ran as fast as expected. The only really challenge to the system was Mupen64. I'm happy to say that it ran everything that it was capable of running at full frame rate, and the only hiccups were related to the emulator itself. It successfully ran Super Mario 64, Mario Kart 64, Zelda: Ocarina of Time, Star Fox 64, and Mischief Makers. It could not Blast Corps or Bomberman 64.
All in all, I can say that things work well, provided you have the right equipment. For me, the mode switch feature of the Nyko Playpad is indispensable, although if you have a bluetooth enabled mouse device, that will suffice. Things can only get better. I haven't tried PPSSPP yet, but that will be my next test.

Thank you so much sjj.
