I don't know about you guys... but for me graphical power was the only thing my Evo needed to be the perfect device.
Anyway, I just upgraded my CM6 from 8/24 nightly to Cm6- Blue Beast based on 9/21 nightly.
I can play Asphalt 5 Demo and Toon Wars Lite without too many hiccups.
The lag has been minimized quite a bit.... to the point where I'd actually play the game.
So I did some benchmarks...
Neomark, Nenamark, and some others came up the same.
Quadrant - the 3d benchmarks that include the 3d first person shooter got more fps than usual.
Then I did AN3dBenchmark... I got a score of 5620... compare that to 4700 on nightlies a month ago... and 4100 on Android 2.1.
So check it out... I hope that once we get the Dell Acer Liquid driver ports/optimization ... from the project that has been going around... we could finally fill in the final gap the Evo lacked - graphical power.

The Asphalt 5 demo from the market is not optimized for Snapdragon/Adreno. The full version runs beautifully even on stock sense. Adreno is quite capable, you know. Games just need to be optimized for it. See this video I made http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t87wJmhIw3o running on a stock htc rom.

They had some improvement here and there... but then again, I really have no idea what that means for us Snapdragon folk.
go to gameloft.com on your phone's browser and download the N.O.V.A. demo. You'll find the EVO has PLENTY of graphical power!!
Plays smooth as butter and looks even sharper on the EVO than the screenshots I took give it credit for, also Dungeon Hunter, Gangstar, HAWX and Hero of Sparta are all great. Those you won't find on the market though, Gameloft has some kind of issue with the market not sure why. Also Crusade of Destiny on the market is worth checking out.(http://img4.immage.de/1407890mzl.tofnjqiu.480x48075.jpg)

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.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jaYks8qHD1w&feature=related
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 =(
HI guys, please help me out here.
Im running hyperdroidGBX v12 on nand.
I have chainfire 3d and has the nvidia plug in too. I cant seem to find the other two plugins though.
anyway I manage to install gangstar 2 and sacred odyssey. both are working well.
then asphalt 6 and modern combat 2 says my device isnt compatible for the game.
How do I fix this or bypass that note? I know it can run those games.
yes the new HD games by gameloft is laggy on our hd2s but I know modern combat 2,nova 2 and asphalt 6 can be played on our devices.
please help me out.
Thanks in advanced.

I mentioned this briefly in another thread; It's because each game has different versions and each version will only work on certain devices.
eg. v1.0.1 will work on desire/bravo, v1.0.2 will work on Samsung Galaxy S and v1.0.3 will work on Motorola Droid X.
(These are examples but the point is made)
On the HD2 you need to find the version of the game which was designed to run on the Bravo/Desire (Dependant on ROM port but should be close enough).
I dont use chainfire3d anymore (Tried with all 3 plugins) and I have now found versions of all the games I want to run without any extra "drivers" or mods
I am attaching a list which guided me in finding the compatibility of games to devices!
Hope this helps
Thanks Paulscode for bringing us the first android emulator to use the
Xperia Play touchpads!
This thread aims to keep track of what games work on Mupen64plus and to what extent. I'll try to keep it as up to date as possible. Please post if you have tried a game and the results, and also what rom / kernel you where running and if you had to do anything to get it to run full speed; i.e. overclock, chainfire ect.

Zelda ocarina of time needs an overclock to play smoothly (but is playable without overclocking) and has some minor graphical glitches in rooms sometimes.
Banjo-tooie runs but had a tendancy to crash often, needs an overclock to play at a smooth framerate.
Only other game ive tested is super mario 64 which runs perfect.

I'd suggest separating the graphics problems into their own category. Most audio glitches are related to emulation speed (you'll hear skipping before you are able to see the reduced emulation speed). Audio skipping can be fixed by overclocking, so it might make more sense to group this with category B, and create a new category for audio problems other than skipping (screeching, clicking, de-synchronization, no-sound, etc).
-EDIT- Nice, the new letter system makes sense

Haha, just changed it then saw yours. Like yours better, less complicated.
also, Thanks for the advice and if you or anyone else has an idea to make this thread cleaner let me know. This is my first time doing anything like this. Its short right now but there are a loooot of N64 titles, its bound to get long, and I'd like to keep it as accessible and as easy to understand as possible
Thanks for putting this together. This will also be very helpful during the beta testing phase (useful to have a comprehensive compatibility list on a single device, to compare with compatibilities on other devices for prioritizing bug-fixes)
Make a public google docs spreadsheet that anybody can contribute too. You can post the results back into this main thread here.

This is a cool idea, OP updated with link to edit!
Edit: also, feel free to mess with the format if anyone thinks we need or don't need different categories or something.
I post some games. Turok, Turok 2, Rayman 2. I will test more games.
Sorry for my english
UPDATE
Castlevenia, Gex 3, Banjo-Kazooie
UPDATE 2
Pokemon Stadium 2, Mario Kart 64, Diddy Kong Racing, Donkey Kong
WWF No Mercy seems to run perfect, a little graphic glitch at start up but after that it's practically perfect. I'd give it A.
Edit. Sorry, I was using stock 2.3.4 R800i.

Thanks for contributing! OP updated - make sure you post your model / current firmware / clock speed - when giving me testing as it could be important for recreating the results you got.
Paper Mario works, but it has severe graphical glitches that pretty much make the game unplayable. I'd give it a D. Also, I'm running it on an R800at with stock kernel and the Generic North America 4.0.2.A.0.42 firmware.
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?
