PSX4Droid Performance on G2

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 =(

[Q] PSX4Droid?

I tried running some games on my Desire Z using PSX4droid, but most either run with sound too fast (Final Fantasy 7) or choppy (Castlevania: SOTN).
Does anyone know of a fix? It seems to be only for this phone.
I'm using Version 1.7.

No, it's not only for this phone...it's a general problem with psx4droid
Remember it's just an emulator... so most of the games won't run perfectly smooth unless you overclock your phone...
I had the same problem with my old Desire and Galaxy S ... now with my Desire Z @ 1.4Ghz the games run a lot better

Not completely without lags but it's playable. Dead Space is really a great game and you can download it for free in Samsung's Appstore.

Worked on my SGS+ pretty much lag-less, not OCed, Brood ROM RC2 and updated graphic drivers. That said however GTA3 hangs my mobile pretty much every single time during gameplay so that the restart is neccessary after few mins of gaming...

Asphalt 6 is choppy depending i think on which Govorner and I/O you use.
ive found that onDemand and SIO is best for Asphalt 6.
i couldnt play it on a totally stock rom because it was too laggy but with the Galaxy W drivers it was much better.

Real racing 2 works!!

Nova?? I have tried 2 different versions but didn`t work... where did you get it! don`t post the link just give a hint

For some games we should also list the version numbers which have been confirmed to run.
For example, I bought Asphalt 6 from gameloft.com (which they list as compatible with the i9001) and the version they provided me with was 1.0.4. Unfortunately it did not run and always crashed after the intro video. I then found out that version 3.5.5 runs without problems.

im using Asphalt 6 1.0.8, how do you get it to version 3.5.5 ?

9mm hd works fine without any lags v1.0.2, other versions give pink graphics, modern combat 3 works fine no lags (Android market v1.0.1 )
Games like mc2 and mc3 have now been optimized specially for snapdragon chips,
after testing mc2 on i9000 and i9001, the snapdragon version works much smoother with slightly different but better textures.
Can anyone help me i can't see gta 3 in the market ?? i really want this game

Actually version 3.5.5 is an older version. Blame Gameloft's illogical versioning schemes...
some website said:
Gameloft always used build numbers starting with v3.x.x (sample: v3.1.6) but since Q2 2011 they started with build numbers 1.x.x (sample v1.0.2). To avoid confusion v1.x.x is always the latest/best version to use

CM7 or MIUI, Dorimanx's ROM seems perfect for gaming (even though I personally don't use it) because of it's CM7 and Dorimanx kernel combination. However, I must point out that none of the ROMs will give you a smooth gaming experience for HD games. Some games like Temple Run and NFS Shift play well, but they are the max extent to which the games are playable. After this, HD games such as GTA3 have no chance of running smoothly whatsoever (so don't waste your money on GTA)

+1 for Dorimanx combination. Games run smooth (Samurai II, Blood&Glory, and Shadowgun). Chainfire is a must have for gaming

I'm using the NexusHD2 ICS ROM at the minute and everything I've played runs smooth on that. Link is here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1434860
But then again I haven't tried GTA on it... yet
Also temple run doesn't work on it for some reason - each touch registers as jump or duck; even sideways swipes :S but I can say that Angry Birds Space, Draw Something and Fruit Ninja work fine without stuttering
It's not the most stable ROM, but if you want ICS goodness as well as (most) games this is one to look out for
