Ever since I got my G1, the thing that has been synonomous with my android phone is retro gaming with emulators. It's actually one of the biggest reasons I will only buy an android phone with a keyboard, ergo I upgraded to Vision.
Shout outs for Earthbound and Chrono Trigger anyone?
If you've never played those games, do yourself a hugely enjoyable favour and buy super gnes or snesoid from the market and start playing them now!

I've got the roms on my evo. Haven't tried any emulators on the g2 yet. chrono trigger its one of my favorite games of all time. Earthbound is just goofy.

Did you ever finish earthbound? It gets pretty messed up by the end lol. I've used both the *oid emulators and super gnes. IMO super gnes works better; the music keeps playing even though sometimes things get slowed down. Snesoid would do weird things with the sound when the game would slow down. Perhaps it's been fixed since then.
One note is to always save games via emulator, but also save ~inside~ the game too. That way the savegame from within the game is on your sd card in case you install a new rom or need to wipe for another reason.

Never got to far on earthbound but I did finish trigger. Also secrect of the mana was a great game. I don't have the patients to finish rpg's like I use to but they don't make rpg's like they used to.
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA App
It's true, they don't make them like that any more. About 2/3rds of the way through earthbound it gets all psychedellic and psychological and has a really gratifying end. I actually just finished it right now haha.
Maybe I'll do secret of mana next, since I've had that rom on my phone for a while
But speaking of roms, I'm off to try the latest gingervillain! I'm pretty hooked on virtuous, but last time I checked in on what the villain was up to, it was quite promising!

The only thing I really don't like about emu's on the G2 right now is the way the key mapping works. I wanted my D pad to be:
UP = Q
Left = .com
Right = A
Down = menu
But it wont let me choose those buttons. So I have to use W-S-Z-A. It's easier to track where your thumb is by the edge of the phone.
I wont be buying the game gripper because I have a case. I've thought about buying one anyways and modding it to fit but I really don't want to just throw away $20 right now.

yup, SOM is better then chono and earthbound
Final fantasy 7 beats em all.
Ff7 is where all the retards started playing because of the 3d graphics.
Ff6 had a better plot, story line, and probably the best soundtrack of any video game ever. Just look at any "greatest of all time games" list, sabin would slam cloud game anyday with a bumrush hahah
US ff2 was also really really good.

I have actually not played FF7. I still have the game and manual from when I bought it years ago.
I started playing FF8 and fell in love with that.
what emulator
what emulator is the best for the G2? and where are you guys finding roms?
Snesoid and super gnes both work really well. I think snesoid has a rom search engine inside it. That should help ya find stuff

I wasnt slamming on the graphics, I didnt like the story. If you like rpgs play jpn ff6/us ff3. It beats ff7 on every "best games of all time" list ive seen.
Alot of people say the ff7 is one of the most overrated games of all time.
Then again most of the time it comes down to which games you played as a kid. SNES was and still is the best system for me, followed by N64. Not nes since I wasnt really skilled enough at that age. Born in 84.
No, but I'm always on the lookout for a new one. Thanks!
I decided to play Mother 3, since I just finished earthbound, but I'm going to play secret of mana probably next. Then terranigma? I like having games to look forward to

Classic Games
Earthbound - great game, ending was amazing... Had never heard of it until a friend of mine spent like $40 on ebay to buy a copy!
Secret of Mana, Chrono Trigger, Secret of Evermore, FF3 (FF6) etc.. All Square (now SquareEnix) and all great games. When Square said they were not making games for the N64, but for Sony's PlayStation, I got a PS
Other RPGs (aside from the epic Link to the Past ). Lufia series (starts with Fortress of Doom), Breath of Fire, RoboTrek (very cartoony and 'PokeMon'-like... Developed by the same company that made Terranigma)
Don't forget the original phantasy star on genesis and sega cd. I liked the first super mario rpg. That was goofy but fun.

Its actually FPse on the market and does circles around psx4 droid .Playing fff9 full speed. Post games working full speed for reference!
Edit-
Alright this is going to be simple.
My evo-
Mikfroyo 4.4
Netarchy-toast 4.3.2
Setcpu- smart ass- overclock 1036
16gb class 4
Games tested
- Marvel vs Capcom
-FF9
-Resident evil 3
-Digimon world
FPse at its current state is not much better than early version of psx4droid v2, though it plays cutscenes great, because it struggles to emulate at full speed .
M vs C is a great example since the opening scene and player selection run full speed, but hits a wall at actual game play. In FF9 I am in Oilvert in disc three so the game play seems great . Then in RE3 THE WHOLE GAME AND EMULATOR CRASHED at the beginning cutscene of game. Digimon world started and ran great.
The controls are very well made and much more friendly to big thumbed people, the only complaint would be that you must activate through the input menu the L1L2, R1R2, select , and start buttons for landscape mode for different games.
Note also that this emulator doesn't YET stretch the image fullscreen.
Over all it will take a few updates to polish it but I am confident this developer is headed in the right direction. How this helps some one.
meh, my psp can do that
I think you just got punk'd
Edit:
Wow, great performance. I think zod just got served!
It's FPse on the market

Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
I've been using psx4droid for a while and i really like it. This one though has some serious potential. I tried street fighter alpha 3 and the first thing i noticed is how much better it looked than on psx4droid. However, it ran much slower, im not sure if i can change any settings to fix that. I was amazed by how well it ran rival schools though. Psx4droid runs it but its really slow.
Couple things i dont like about fpse though. There doesnt seem to be haptic feedback ftom button presses. I need haptic feedback.
Also, on fpse the keys arent very forgiving. What i mean is that you need to press the button precisely or it wont register, thats kind of a problem. Psx4droid registers my input even if its a little off.
I cant get start, select and the shoulder buttons in landscape mode. Thats gotta get fixed.
All in all, this emulator has some issues, but it is a first release and has some big potential.
Keep the reviews coming. I don't want to buy it because of that 15 minute window.
I downloaded it just to try it and compare it to psx4driod 1.7 and v2 and I gotta say it still needs some work fsce (wateva the spelling is) is kool but dosen't play ff9 at full speed like psx4driod does....It has potential after a few updates and the ui needs to cleaned up menus look wak to me...just my 2 cents

Had the same issue. Download Autopopstation4 and read the readme. Trying it now.
Update: Works like a charm. Tried this with Final Fantasy V, Metal Gear Disk 1, as well as Legend of Dragoon disk 1. Go nuts...
Update2: Autopopstation does not work on multi-disk eboots. Still looking into that....
Let me start off by saying that I used to use psx4droid on some previous roms and it worked fairly. Definitely not a genuine playing experience, but it worked enough to show it off a little bit. Then when I jumped ship to MIUI it stopped working, no big deal. I just stopped using it. Then I tried this and what do you know.. works like a charm. I messed around with kernels a bit to get the wiimote working and voila.. my rig:
MIUI 1.2.11
Cm snap latest (7.5?)
HW Version 003
The first thing I tried out was Crash Bandicoot. The title and intro scenes flew by at well over 100fps so I decided to turn on the framelimiter in the options. I played the first level and a half and to my almost disbelief.. solid 56-60fps constantly. Very few drops to mid-high 40s. Sure I only played a few minutes, but I was definitely impressed.
Second game I tried was Spyro. Again, runs very smooth at a constant 56-60 during gameplay. Drops during cutscenes, but the gameplay itself is flawless. Again.. incredibly surprised.
Third game.. and this is where things get a bit rough. Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver. The game itself while you run and jump around runs at 45+ fps but it's definitely playable. It's not perfect 1:1 of what I checked out on youtube, but it plays. I skipped the beginning cutscene hastily, but there are some scenes generated with the games actual engine that you can't skip. This is where it all went downhill. There is an ominous voice speaking to you as you come back as the soul reaver or something along those lines.. I couldn't make it out cause the framerate kept dropping and his voice would skip. This drove me nuts. The sound emulation is generally not great on this emulator, but this game particularly was bad.
Other stuff:
For some reason, the settings don't save for me. I have to set them every single time I start a new game. Hopefully this is not a product of my setup and of the app itself.
I was able to play full screen. I saw someone post earlier that it won't stretch to the full screen, but it seemed to play perfectly across my entire screen beautifully. Just pointing that out.
This got me so excited for gaming on my evo that I actually ordered a Classic Controller Pro from amazon.. I can see myself using my evo much more once it gets to me for gaming. Very excited!
Battery drain was insane. Literally a % a minute. Although don't take this for much as I JUST flashed the kernel and usually I do see quick drain the first day or so of usage.
EDIT: My next game will be Tekken 3 only because I remember having such a hard time emulating it on a stock hd2 about a year ago and once on my own Evo. If this emulates it nicely... well... We have a winrar on our hands.
Updating with a new post otherwise no one will see this. I tried out street fighter 3 alpha and surprisingly enough, it runs like crap. It maintains around 40 fps but unless it runs at 60 it's just not smooth enough to pull off combos and all. Tekken 3 won't play at all past the first logo, the game just crashes. It came as a bin.ecm which I renamed to just a bin to get it to with which might be the problem

When ever you get an .ecm you need to un compress with the ecm tools - just google it . Once you download them drag and drag and drop the rom into the unecm file if I remember right and it will un compress so you can play.

it only works for sgs models on froyo and also doesn't work on galaxy nexus (read it in a forum somewhere)..but some samsung phones that can run the game in gingerbread are galaxy ace, gio, mini and the droid charge apparently (can't confirm this phone). I think it has to do the way samsung gingerbread update messed with the gpu (assumption) plus the game was originally made for xperia play...i have tried all chainfire settings and i can't get it to work on my epic on gb and cm7 (it freezes the phone) but works fine in froyo..

I also tried running it using Chainfire3D, didn't work. It loads up about 2 seconds of the intro and just closes. For the time being, I'm enjoying GB more than Froyo so I won't be going back, although I wanted to play this pretty bad :\ sad days...
I got it running on my Iconia Tab tho using Chainfire 3D. The only problem is that it only runs in portrait mode, not landscape. So I'm cut off short from both sides of the gameplay. Turning into corners is a pain since I'm half blind and I can't see anything besides me unless its literally like beside me already :\ its playable, but kind of annoying.

Posted a thread about this -- apologies for not finding this one first.
I'm severely bummed, because I love this game, and am only about 1/3 of the way through it. I loathe the idea of having the flash back to Froyo to play it, and am not going to... YET.
I mentioned in my other thread, though, that Shadowgun DOES work on the E4G with GB and Chainfire3D+NVIDIA plug-in. While the game does need the horsepower of the Galaxy S II, it plays well on the E4G, with just a little stuttering here and there as the graphics H/W can't keep up. Hasn't interfered with gameplay at all, though, and it's an AWESOME game!!
EDIT: Haven't tried it with an OC kernels yet. Just flashed Samurai 3.01++, with a turbocharge GPU clock, and support for CPU OC. I'll crank it up and give Shadowgun a try, report back here later.

I downloaded DeadSpace from SamsungApps for free & it works great on CleanGB MTD.
Just to give feedback, Deadspace runs great on EI22 (CleanGB) and Cyanogen 7 RC0 through nightly 16, to include using Samurai kernel with overclocked GPU. I got mine from the Android Market, I think it was on sale. Great game to show off the Epic's performance and black levels.
Hi,
I just flashed a custom rom on my LG p500 and its running interactive 480/748 right now. In terms of games, I've got a few good ones already, but I'm looking for some suggestions. I'm looking mostly for games that either have some kind of survival mode (action or shooter where you have to survive as long as possible) or some more fun high shore games. So far I have: doodle jump, robot unicorn attack, cut the rope and fruit ninja. And all the games should run completly smoothly on the LG p500. So, any suggestions? (I'd especially like survival shooters or action games, but none of the ones I found so far are compatible with P500)
Thanks in advance

How about Dead Space? Although some people might not like the screen and the touch issues still playable though, sometimes though there are minor irks like the background changes from black --> bright white. Still a remarkable experience considering it's canon.
This isn't a ratings topic or a top whatever topic...This is a topic of what game you just can't get enough of. Don't get me wrong there's a lot of great games out there. I'm curious of the diversity of the crowd/ XP community.

My Boy! is my favourite. The UI is tidy and easy to follow. It has the ability to disable linear filtering. Cheat support was included with the latest update. I get full speed in all the games I play without needing to use frameskip.
VGBA has good compatibility but the UI sucks and is battery heavy. Also the developer is employing dirty tricks like preventing people with LP installed from using the app.
GBA.emu you would expect to be good but performs very poorly on the Xperia PLAY and other single core devices. You get lag every 10-15s with frameskip on, and is slow as hell/unplayable with frameskip off.
Gameboid used to be my favourite until My Boy! replaced it. Both Gameboid and My Boy! are similar in the UI and performance. My Boy! is slightly better in both those areas, and seeing as Gameboid is no longer being developed, it made sense to buy My Boy!.
