Anyone else tried PSXDroid on their G2?
I tried playing marvel vs capcom, chrono cross, and x=men vs street fighter.
Im using PSX4DROID v 1.3
The sound is super laggy and glitched and games are not running at 100%. However, i have read many comments taht say v1.3 is just a horrible version of the emulator. Anyone else playing and having a good experience?
How does it work?

With sound on, everything is very laggy. but i just saw this video on youtube and his PSX4DROID emulator is running much faster, so i think its the version i have.

Well try the older version... because you know its NOT the phone. The G2 is the most powerful android phone out there, period. Let us know your results... I was thinking about getting it but heard its too buggy for use.
When I first got the G2 I tried out Chrono Cross on psx4droid. It ran very well, although I did have the sound off (not a fan of annoying sounds while playing games on my phone).
But after updating psx4droid from the market yesterday, the emulator runs very poorly. Hopefully the dev undoes whatever he changed so that it will start running well again.

Yeah, it might be the update. From past experience with many emulators, sound off always runs better. The problem is not that the g2 can't handle ps games but it has to emulate them in a player than runs inside android if that makes any sense. In other words native games like nova or heavy gunner which are graphic equivilant to ps games run better because they run pretty much natively. Where ps games are ran inside a emulator coded to run natively in android. I know that explanation is poor but you get the point. The ps emulator is relatively new too compared to the others. But ps games are pushing the limits... have you heard if any N64 emulators that run well or at all yet?
well, either find a better warez source to update to 1.5, or stop being cheap and buy the app from market; sound is crappy, but when it is off ff9 and chrono cross run very smooth

Newest ver on the market is 1.5 (you know that though since you purchased it )
Ran 1.5 today w/ ROMS on class(6) and it was about the same performance I believe: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=802147
Haven't tested with sound much, but on my G2 with psx4droid 1.1 I've been playing:
FFVII
FF Tactics
Megaman Legends
all with no problems, great playability
I purchased it (support your developers, anusholes), but it does seem laggy and sound is glitchy when I play parappa the rappa. Haven't tried any other games.
I have had extensive experience comparing the galaxy phones to the g2 performance in psx4droid. First of version 1.1 is the fastest. It is also the buggiest. On psx4droid 1.1 the g2 does very playable speeds on all games but really heavy polygonal games like fighters and whatnot. Zodttd released versions 1.3 and 1.4 that were much slower while trying to fix bugs. Now 1.5 is the best balance. Only slightly slower than 1.1 but slow
enough to make a lot of games unenjoyable on the g2 while the galaxy phones are able to keep up. Side by side they are like 30 percent faster than the g2 in psx4droid. Im hoping for root soon so we can overclock.

Thanks, this was very helpful
i'm currently running Tmobile G2 overclocked to 1.45 GHZ using a root module, and unfortunately psx4droid 1.61 is playing horridly aweful =(. This was an upgrade from 1.5, which played phenomenially better than 1.61. In 1.5 if the CPU could not process enough power (logically), the game would be a little slower, however 1.61 has sound that is TOO FAST for ALL games, with slow graphics (wtf)?. So in other words, My sound for the game is INCREDIBLY fast, while the in game graphics are sloooww to a crawl. Is there anyone that's willing to host the psx4droid 1.5 apk for me to obtain? I've bought this emulator expecting only improvement, not drawback =(
I just noticed that the only decent games my hero can run are squibble, speedx, and minisquadron. Everything else i have either runs like crap or arent worth mentioning. How do the rest of you get by? I wish i could play angry birds and fruit ninja. What quality games do you guys play? Really thinking of getting the desire s or if i can hold off long enough then some <4 inch screen dual core htc phone
First of all, is your phone rooted?
When your phone is rooted, you can put faster roms on it, like Cyanogenmod 6/7 or roms based on Cyanogenmod. The next thing is, that when your phone is rooted, you can overclock it, so it will run faster not only the menu's and stuff, but also games
If your phone is already rooted, try checking out some other roms, or maybe there is a whole lot of crap on your phone, maybe much background processes.
Because fruit ninja works fine on my hero not greatsupersmoothomgawesomeness but it works really well ^^ it's really playable..
And if you want to play angry birds, you have to search on google for a modded version, this version has alot of textures removed, and is ALOT smoother, I mean really alot try it
Goodnight ^^,
yep its rooted running kimera2.1 with flykernal12 running at 672 mhz. I cant live without sense so im kinda stuck. I mean yea fruit ninja is playable but it is horrible compared to the iphone version, combos make it lag. What version of angry birds are you running? Im still on 1.3.5 before the laggy textures were added. its playable but i havent tried any newer versions since they prolly arent playable. Have you tried the newest version wit the graphics toggle?
youre on 2.1 rom? no wonder it lags so much. android 2.2 introduced Jit which gives it a 2x speed boost. you should consider a 2.2 rom or maybe even a 2.3 rom. youll notice a difference straight away, speed wise

i recently upgraded from the standard rom to ginger xperia v22 its amazing but ive noticed i now cant play games well, ie dead space now hardly runs and is all jerky where as before i upgraded it was smooth.
also ive seen guys on youtube running nova, asphalt 5, anomoly, ganstar etc, how do i get these to run on my device?
is it an overclock issue?
So I picked one of these up. I run the stock ROM and am using Nova Launcher. Phone is not even rooted, it's just out of the box but with nova launcher.
During GTA Vice City and Amazing Spiderman the lag is just unbelievable. I thought a phone like this could run GTA Vice City maxed out, but if I set the resolution to above 70% and visual effects to anything but low, the lag is UNBEARABLE.
I saw people running games just fine, but I just can't figure out. Help me out here?
The firmware is the XXUBMEA, it updated to that when I first started it.
You may need to look into rooting and then removing or freezing a lot of the samsung and google bloatware if you don't use it. A lot of these run in the background regardless and take up ram, reducing the available amount, which in turn will hamper the phones performance as the ram available gets low.
Standard my phone was using around 1.2-1.4gb, now that I've rooted, frozen a lot of crap, and even used greenify to stop some apps running in the background (candy crush as an example hogs 200Mb in the background), I'm now seeing around 700-800Mb ram usage and the phone runs quite well. Haven't played any games like GTA to really push it, but I'm not seeing any more lag.
Yeah GTA lag can't really be resolved
I'm on a 4.3 AOSP rom with Ktoonz kernel that has CPU + GPU overclock and I still couldn't get it smooth even when lowered to high effects and about 75% resolution.
For some reason, practically every high end game I've played lags on the i9505
Sent from my :tank:
I was shocked at the stuttering when playing Robot Unicorn attack (Excellent game https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.pikpok.rua2).
Every 3-5 seconds the phone would stutter for 0.1-0.3 seconds (subjective). This did NOT happen with my i9500 Exynos.
I don't understand whats wrong. If it's a driver issue, it should be resolved by now 5 months after launch.
Can a game developer or kernel master enlighten us?

thankssssssssssssssss
Hello!
I got my g pad a few days ago and I got it rooted running xposed with greenidy and G2 modules with nova launcher. Antutu scored about 23600 and performence is pretty great excpet for one thing : gaming.
Most if not all Games are laggy, some start laggy and some become Luggy after a few seconds.
What should I do?

GTA San Andreas is laggy on my GPad then I tried to flash custom rom then the game became smooth on max settings
Mine also. i have several that freeze up but work perfect on a custom rom. Rayman jungle run and reckless racing 2 amongst others. kinda sucks as i like the lg rom.
I play asphalt 7 and 8 also real racing 3 and gt racing 2 with no problem at all.
That's true. But If a quad-core snapdragon 600 clocked 1.7ghz and 2gb of RAM can't handle a game smoothly then I think that's the optimization of the app's fault, not the hardware. My San Andreas also lags, at half resolution, medium details and 70% draw distance. That sucks : /. Order and Chaos Online is so laggy that it's taking away any joy from playing, while a LG L9 with 2x1Ghz handles it perfectly...... I think this is unacceptable that a flagship device has such issues

Is it laggy from the start or after a minute of playing? Seems that this tablet gets hot quickly and keeps throttling CPU/GPU
Real boxing lags for me sometimes. Other games like Riptide GP2, Injustice, and Modern Combat 4 all play perfectly though.
Those games are laggy:
BADLAND, Pivvot, Subway Surfers (A little bit), Rayman Jungle Run (Half of the time buttery smooth, other half laggy)
But after further testing I found out:
I also have games that don't lag: Modern Combat 4 (which is very demanding!), Zynga Poker (but a galaxy s wouldn't lag on that one), Lumber Jacked, Reaper.
I guess it's a compability issue, hope I could get better performence on AOSP ROMs (although I heard they have a gaming problem, maybe it will be sorted out soon)
Just installed latest cmb rom, all games are buttery smooth.
I laugh at lag's face now.
Only problem : pivvot doesn't respond to touch. Oh well, probably a 4.4.2 compatibility issue
it plays even intensive games like Asphalt 8: Airborne well, and nothing ever felt overly laggy. But stock KitKat clearly comes with a huge speed boost, and switching from one model to the other for days at a time, I always noticed the difference.

Yeah, Absolutley NO LAG on kitkat. The S600 is truly superior.
Gaming..

Is the S600 another model type of this tab ? Anyhow after a week of using the tablet and reading and using and Romming and ...you get it.I have noticed lags here and there w/ certain games , YouTube etc but Browsing is good. Gaming depends on what game you play Nova 3 lags a little not as smooth as N7 , Nitro Nation is fine lags here and there no biggie, injustice lags some,Dead Trigger 2 is OK doesn't really lag very much but I haven't installed the graphics mod either .Deer hunter stutters a bit,Respawnables, shadowgun super smooth online or off My experience so far.
Well I'm on Malladus 1.2.5, and I have absolutely no lag at all. RR3 runs perfectly smooth during the races (but the graphics seem to be in low settings everywhere, so that shouldn't come as a surprise), Angry Birds Go is equally good, and Asphalt 8 is perfect in high settings. I did have some lags on all of them while I was on stock though.
I also tried CM11, and apart from some games that just wouldn't launch, all of the above ran perfectly.

Could you two me about Malladus 1.2.5? Do all stock features work? Can you do apps to sd sym linking? Will this prevent lg app updates... How is battery life improved
Sent from my SM-N900W8 using Tapatalk
Yes, all stock features work if you flash the LG apps with the Rom. As far as I can tell, it's a custom stock rom, with a bit of optimizations and tweaks.
I don't know about SD sym linking. I'm assuming you're talking about Link2SD ability to create a link with your external SD card, and I can't see why it wouldn't work.
Battery life seems to be a bit better, but it could be a placebo effect.
