App for using phone as gamepad - Android Software Development

Hello,
I'm wondering is there an good app fot using Android mobile as gamepad for PC using WLAN. It would be even better if accelerometer could be used too. (e.g. for playing racing games).
I tried GRemote, but it doesnt work well on my Samsung Galaxy Ace and it isn't free.
Thanx for suggestions!

BUMP
Maybe this thread should be moved to Android Apps and Games forum... Its my mistake.

I found it myself. NES controller works great on my SGA.

Care to tell what is the app's name?

i think its nebudroid

NES Contreller, on market: https://market.android.com/details?id=aberl.nes.controller&feature=search_result
There are more of similar apps, but this is the only one that worked well for me.

I can't get tekken or any fighting games to work, but I have gotten ff tactics, loaded, reloaded, and need for speed high stakes to run flawlessly, mortal kombat trilogy freezes at start screen, soul blade freezes at loading, gta3 won't load cars or avatar, no go at all on twisted metal 2, tekken 3, and one game I can't remember doesn't load.
All I want to work is tekken 3 and I will be happy.

any really good game thaat doesnt need much keys ?
the screen on the x10i
even though i have got the games working fine from bin files. well i say they work fine, sound is perfect on my xperia x10i, but the screen wont fill and stretch the x10i. ive tried all the settings and still nothing. does anyone have ideas of where im going wrong on this? or is it worth rebooting the entire phone to factory standards and starting again?
without multi-touch you cannot play games like psx games on psx4droid or the games which require mlti-touch like football ( 2.1 is required ) so sony X10 is not for playing games, if you wanna enjoy games then go for desire instead ( great phone as compared to X10 trust me ) HTC desire is far better than X10.

nope ur wrong as i been running psx4driod on my x10 for ages fair enough there is no MT but there is a few games that run perfect on it.
@djboxer. do your games on x10 run with the screen filled? or did you have any problems like im having, with the screen not showing properly. as the button layout is fine on screen, but the actual graphics are squashed up in the middle, and ive tried putting the screen settings to stretched and all the others, and its still putting the graphics squashed in the middle. the sound is running fine, just the graphics are strange. and i cant figure it out. has anyone else figured this out?
people, to be able to play games without MT, buy a wiimote and download an app that connects the controller through bluetooh. works FLAWLESSLY
how do you guys play FF7? i'm able to load the game, but just black screen. any help?

brill idea i have to give that a try has many of my games are racing ones i have choice of accelerate or brake pffffft haha
and also here the other topic which is for all users wanting to install and setup
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=8238406#post8238406
The FF7 I got online was in rar/zip/ecm/bin combination i have to uncompress it to bin file.
I can play FF7 (disc 1), Chrono Cross (disc 1) and SagaFrontier 1 on my X10a. Graphic and video playback are nice but audio is very choppy so I turned it off. Also, it's almost not playable because you cannot multi-touch (you need to press directional key and 1 button to 'run') on those games, without it, the characters are walking in snail speed...
Ive tried playing grand turismo. had 2 different downloads and both had an issue,first one didnt go forward at all and the second one the car can only get up to around 10mph..... the accelrometer works nice with the racing type games but need to find one that actualy works
Hi i think mt for playing psx games would be awsome but: in fact i ve played psx games on my touch diamond and yoused my own psx games and they worked fine. Only reasen why games werent enjoyable: 10 frams/s and okay the diamond has few more hardware buttons but great for final burn for example
Cheers

If you're having trouble with FF7 in the underwater bit, I read in other forums that you can't get past it using the psx4droid app. Apparently you need to do that part on a PSX PC emulator then save the save game file back on to your psx4droid folder, doesn't seem to be any other way around it
i`m playing diablo 1 mostly because i dont need the mt ... like in the other games ... and mostly i`m looking for games witch dont need the use of mt to be played
Heh,i played Dino Crisis 2 : works
Gran Turismo 2 : Works perfectly
GTA 1 : Works perfectly
GTA 2 : Works perfectly
NFS 3 Hot Pursuit : Works perfectly
NFS 4 High Stakes : Works perfectly
Tekken 3 : Not working at all.
Gonna try this evening : Resident Evil series.
BTW : For those that complain of multitouch,ican play ALL games without any problem...how ? Using the hardware buttons.
You just put the "Back" button as the "X", and the "Focus"(Yes the camera button) as the "Square", and you can play almost all the games without anykind of problem,specially driving games.
So for those who complain of MT : Yes its nice but NOT a "Cant live without it".
And for those who say Desire is better : Why are ya here? The X10 can be a LOADS nicer,smoother and better device than the Desire if you tweak it nicely,so shush.
Regards

Emulators

Hello all!, I have been using emulators to play games just lately! I have pocketsnes but I cant get it to play any thing? Or morphGear which needs more memory! Can anyone point me in the right direction for a snes emulator to work on an xda exec wm6.5.
Hope you can help???
Hope this helps

Unfortunately, Universal's keyboard can only register one keypress at once (at least with the Windows Mobile driver, I think Linux distributions can register multiple presses). That means you can't move and jump/shoot at the same time, for example. You're pretty much limited to turn based RPG and strategy games, even if you can get an emulator working.
You could try a bluetooth keyboard or even a gamepad and see how that works, if emulation's very important to you.

Fpse or PSX4droid on ICONIA?

Cannot get either to work, they both crash any time I try playing a game. Has any successfully played either of these emulators without a problem on the Iconia A500? If so, please share how, what version emulator, so forth..
Nope. I've tried both and had no success Apparently others have got them working though - might be the specific rom that you're (we're) trying
Ive tested different roms on both emulators & both force close. If anyone has successfully please post up. Links are welcomed
I play games on both without a problem...

could you please be more specific.. what version are you using? where did you get the roms? bios? this is a plea for help!
I use FPSE as I haven't had any luck with PSX4DROID. FPSE, I have the most current version 10.55? Games load and play fine for the most part with the exception of sound which is slightly choppy. For example, Chrono Cross which has one of my favourite opening songs plays choppy, regardless of settings.
PSX4DROID force closes regardless of title.
I'm using psxdroid 3.0.6 and have tried scph1000, scph1001 and psxbios to try and play resident evil directors cut. But It keeps crashing
The official wiki does not show the a500 as working
psx4droid.wikkii.com/wiki/Main_Page
So far I have only found one version of psx4droid that works and that's "psx4droid v2 1.1.2" using SCPH1001, and it works fine work me with wiimote app. Fpse in my opinion would be great because it does work but doesn't support wiimote not willing to spend 60 beans on a controller when I have one.

Best PSX emulator available?

Like the title says; just wondering what the best playstation emulator is available for my Xperia play?
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda premium
FPse is the best IMO
Sent from my R800i using Tapatalk
I like FPSE as well. Being able to use the original ISO's is a big plus for me. I've tried PSXperia which allows you to use the native emulator included with the Play, but I can't for the life of me to get anything to work. Other have had better luck though. I like the simplicity of just copying an ISO (ripped from my original PS1 discs on my PC) to my SD card and away I go.
Can anyone message me the sites to download the ROMS,thanks.

Use google. Warez are not condoned here. A quick google search for PSX roms will give you plenty of options
Got to be FPse, works brilliantly. Dug out my old PS1 games and brought back memories.
Not tried any other Emulators but if the one I have works then there is no need to change to another
I like psxexperia - integrates games into applications list and native ps emulator on play. Beautiful

It's really nice to use the dual pads on the original play emulator
Sent from my XPlay using XDA App.
I prefer the Native Emulator and all the games i like work on it so PSXPERIA FTW.
Not only does it convert games to APK it also halves their size so no need to have 700meg ISO on your phone if you can have a 5 meg APK and 300meg game data.
The graphics are also superior on the Native Emulator.

There is a program called PocketISO (find it using google), it compresses and can even rip game image files, it works really well and often gets surprisingly small sizes out of big images. The outputted compressed file is compatible and actually recommended with FPSE.
If you haven`t used the tool yet go get it and free up some of that valuable storage space
Oh that's good for FPSE.
Still no touch pad control or better graphics.
I'm playing GT on psxperia... With the touchpad control =p

Problems
I used the tools to modify. Megaman Legends 2, the problem is that around 80% of the screen flickered with a black background and I wasn’t able to play it, with Megaman X4 it played the anime cut scenes (sadly those don’t play on FPse, but the game runs good) but when I start a new game it happens the same thing of the screen, am I doing something wrong? Or these games simply don’t work well on the native emulator?

Have you tried the software rendering trick to fix the screen flickering?
If not I recommend you this: PSXPERIA: How to increase compatibility of the native emulator with more games
I believe Megaman X4 should run properly after you do that.
apologies if i'm being thick here but i just want to confirm it before i go searching for no reason. is PSXPERIA the native emulator already installed?

In general people use this term to refer to the use of native emulator already installed on Xperia Play, but actually by itsself PSXPERIA is a tool by an XDA developer designed to convert PSX images into an apk and some SD data which you then install on Play and place data on your SD. After that your game appears as any native game on your Play and in the Playstation Pocket and/or your Xperia Play Launcher. Then you play it exacly same way as the Playstation games which came built in with the device or were purchased on the Market.
Thanks for that. Be good to get some of the old games on the phone

Gta 3

Gta 3 runs pretty good. It's sometimes laggy even with some GPU acceleration and graphic hacks, but I still love the game
there's already a thread.of this app in the themes and app section so lock this thread plzzz
Was there a question?
And you can use Wii mote to control the game
Just tested myself. The wii mote can be used to play the game (go to the market and get one of the free apps that enable Wii mote sync via Bluetooth)
The game runs perfect
