So Im looking for a couple apps, I used to have some emulators on my phone... nes, snes, 64 and psx. I loved em. Can't find them anymore, however. Anyone know of any good ones for the a500?
Also looking for a decent home launcher app. Using the paid version of adw right now, and its ok, I just can't seem to find any themes for it that look good on a tablet.
Any help with either topic would be very much appreciated!

id love to find a good home launcher app as well
I broke down and bought spb shell 3d... it actually was worth the high price. Sure, they should add some theming options, and a little more customization would be nice... but over all, its a nice app.

For emulators go to slideme.org. do a search for "yongzh". All of his emulators that i have tried has worked. They are all free except for theN64 emulator

Gameboid is a awesome gba emulator.. works perfectly and its free..
spb shell isnt that good in my opinion because its eats all your ram.. it gets killed in backgroud if youre using games, etc (ram hungry apps) and it takes a long time to restart^^

Since some games like Nova and Modern combat: Sandstorm don't work on our phones, even with the update, if we show enough interest, then they might update them to run on our phones.
Please post here, if you want this to happen.
(You have to set up an account first though...)
http://forum.gameloft.com/index.php/topic,5358.0.html
Or, if anyone knows any people we could contact, please list their details here.
P.S. Sorry if this should have been posted in the Themes and Apps section; I wasn't sure whether to put it there, since this isn't really about a theme or app you can obtain.
Anyway, thanks for reading this.
Asphalt, Fifa 10 aint working for me either
Sent from my X10i using Tapatalk
Asphalt5, Dungeon Hunter, Hero of Sparta, Lets Golf, Avatar, Tom Clancys HAWX are working, Nova, Assassins Creed didnt work for me
Sandstorm works. It just that its almost unplayable because of the lack of MT (Can't walk and aim at the same time)
Asphalt 5 works.

I also want to see Nova. But, its a game made for multi-touch. Not sure how playable it will be on the X10.

Yeah, it works for me too.
Allready worked on Android 1.6, now even better.
I think they'll work very crappy because we don't have multitouch and it's a must for good gameplay in some of their games.
The better opetion would be to have them allow mapping of hardware buttons to try and use outside MT!
Dungeon hunter only kind of works. You cannot switch the controls to the control stick which is infinitely better than point and tap

Yo mate,i visited ur link but umm,i couldnt start Gangstar on the X10 mate ,nor Avatar...i mean they do start but the graphics are black objects and screwed textures (Its not my phone : All other games work like a charm).
(I also saw that i had the files on the SD from my old Gangstar so i didnt need to redownload,could those be the fault?)
Same problem here with Assassin's Creed.. black textures..

Optimization Tip #1 (Too Many Apps)
It's very easy to reach those numbers in no time
specially when you are a phone game addict like me
with the limitation of the i9020 not having an external SD card support i never had as much freedom as i did when using the i9000, on that phone i easily reached 500 Apps in no time, and well the slow down is obvious.
so the Trick & Tip for this session is about keeping a good balance between performance, and still have those 300+ Apps installed in the phone without blowing up on you.
Requirement: TitaniumBackup
you will probably think uninstalling the Apps that you don't need, true, but that's not always the best way, however for Apps that you absolutely do not use at least once a month, they should definitely be gone from the phone.
to keep the phone from slowing down to a claw, specially when your launcher tries to load up all those Apps & icons, simply use Titanium Backup to FREEZE the ones that you don't use very often, but are still nice to have in the phone for those "emergencies" when you really need it the most, but you wished you had them installed, and not deleted just to keep your phone from running smooth.
just keep a shortcut of TitaniumBackup some where on the desktop launcher to have quick access to the Apps to freeze & unfreeze the other Apps that you want to keep in the phone.
Also all the less used Apps you can group them inside a folder, and make a shortcut of that folder on the desktop launcher, so that when you Unfreeze them you know exactly where to look for them, instead of having to scroll through the entire Apps drawer.
Another great idea, only for those with unlimited mobile internet access, is to use the DropBox feature of TitaniumBackup, and then store all those Apps you want to keep on the cloud, and restore them when you need them
That's all for today

350 apps????
why???
I think it would be easy to accumulate that number. However, i tend to go through and thin out the ones I dont use occasionally. I dont think id ever get to 350! Think ive got about 50 or so on there at the moment.
damn I only have 110 lol
Sent from my Nexus S 4G using XDA Premium App
Damn...that's a lot of apps
aprox 50 are actual apps the other 300 are mostly games, good games like GunBros, most of the good ones from Gameloft, EA, and many other big hit tittles in Android Market
I don't think I've ever had more than 10 downloaded... 350 is kind of overkill man. You can only play so many games...

lol you're crazy
I have 8 games on my phone right now (including emulators... i use GBCoid for pokemon yellow and n64oid for... actually I never use it). That also includes Kongregate arcade.
how can you STAND playing on a touchscreen? like I play modern combat from game loft more than any game, and playing on a touch screen sucks! my fingers always block my view (and i don't even have big hands)
Damn man. Just download them again from the market if you need to have them again. How can you possibly use that many regularly.

anyone tried running nintendo64 rom emulator? i tried that n64 app: mupen64plus AE
with killerinstinct2GOLD game zip rom and it still lags! i guess 2gb ram doesn't cut it
or it might be just the app that makes it laggy(music choppy, screen flickers)
No, it's probably not a phone problem, but the app just sucks.
I recommend N64oid (google it) and sideload the app. It worked flawlessly on my old Flipside, which is a single core 720MHz and 512mb RAM.

Mupen64Plus, AE clearly states it's unstable and in beta. The dev has lots of other things going on in his life, so development has been very slow recently. Over time, it should eventually surpass N64oid (seeing as N64oid's likely been abandoned), though N64oid is currently much faster and more stable (as it was developed for much longer).
N64oid is pretty decent. I ran mario cart 64 with no lag on my captivate. As far as Mupen64plus goes, as previously stated, its still under development. A sloow, loongg and haard development.

Sry. I dont have the cappy anymore, gave it to my brother. But I did run few games on it, when I had it, like mario cart 64, star fox 64, golden eye 007 and donkey kong 64, all of them ran with little or no lag on the cappy. I would assume the N4, with its S4 Pro and the 320 gpu would be able to handle that with no problem. As far as having issues with certain roms, it could just be the rom itself. Also on the cappy, I played pokemon fire red, using gameboid, and I had 2 different roms for the same game and one of them did run better then the other. ....killerinstinct....nostalgia. good times. :highfive:
I tried playing Smash Bros on it and some characters were missing eyes, such as Mario and Yoshi..
Also the screen flickers quite a bit, messed with some of the settings a bit but it wouldn't solve it. :/

Hey, I'm looking for the best emulator to run the legend of zelda but don't want a hog of a program. I know emulators can be pretty large and inefficient so I'm wondering if anyone knows of a good light one
Sent from my VS980 4G using xda app-developers app
I think you posted this in the wrong area, wouldn't this be general Android apps? This isn't specific to the G2.
That being said, I'll still answer the question.
I don't know about 'light' emulators, per se, but you do find different qualities of apps. Mainly because some are mere ports and some are good, ARM-based apps. "Legend of Zelda" doesn't tell me what system you want to run...
If you visit the Coolrom page on your phone for the version of Zelda you want, the recommended emulator that they post for whatever system you're looking at is good. Off the top of my head, that'd be:
-DraStic (DS Emulator)
-SuperGNES (SNES)
-Super N64 (Nintendo 64)
Good luck!
you want the emulator for PC or Android???
I personally use n64oid v2.7 i play both the legend of zelda ocarina of time and the legend of zelda majoras mask without any glitches or laggs.

If you are using the emulator fpse you have probably noticed the open gl performance is bad on this tablet (if similiar to the 10.1) To fix this download the open gl plugin through epsxe and transfer that one to fpse. I dont know why but it has MUCH better performance. Also how are emulators in general running for you guys
Sent from my SCH-I605 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Haven't installed any yet, but I plan to do so this evening. I'll report back later. I own all the .emu emulators and SuperGNES...Oh, and PPSSPP...And FPSE...And NostalgiaNES.|
This made my husband very happy. Working well for him now. Thanks for the tip!

No problem. I was running fpse and epsxe and just kept noticing that open gl was much smoother and more stable on epsxe. So I figured what the heck maybe its the plugin and voila!! Fpse has better options and playability and with the epsxe plugin it runs incredibly well at high graphics. Ff7 looks awesome with very occasional lag (like when starting a battle)
