Summary of the ICS situation - Xperia Play General

Soooo ICS is not coming to our Xplays because oooof ... ?
Back in 2011 I didn't own a X10 but I'm pretty sure the main actors in that case were "Gingerbread" and "Sony-Ericsson"
In our case, the problem is a triforce of 3 actors : "ICS" , "Sony" and "The game developers"
...............Game Developers
......................../......\
...................A /.........\ B
...................../............\
...............ICS __ __ __ Sony
...........................C
So what's the faulty relation ? A , B or C ?
actually the answer is more complicated !
The 3 relations taken alone are not a problem :
A : Game Developers are making compatible games for ICS
B : Game Developers DID make compatible games for the Xperia Play
C : The Xperia Play is ICS-capable
The problem can be a compilation of A+C or B+C :
A+C = Game Developers can't make a compatible game with the ICS we are running in our device
B+C = Game Developers can't make a compatible game for our device running the actual ICS
In those both cases the main problems are :
out-of-memory while playing
no compatible physical controllers
it seams that managing ICS while playing a game using Dpad is too much for our processor/ram
In my humble opinion I prefer a working OS with working games and Dpad.
And for the Xperia Play 2/HD waiters : Sony will not sell a smartphone that shadows its own portable gaming products.
Vision :
In the (near) future smartphones will become more powerful than those portable gaming devices, Sony will revise its marketing strategy and propose the best gaming smartphone out there !
to the holly 4 buttons !

If they ever did decide to make a play2 it should be blended with their Vita stuff so they can be used with each other. That would be about the only way I would go out and buy another one of these phones, without it its just not worth it

Call of Duty [Clans] [General] [PS3 or 360] [MW2 and Black Ops]

Flame me for making this thread if you feel the need to.
Myself and a few others have started an Android enthusiasts clan for the sole purpose of "dominating other men" on MW2 for 360 both XBOX 360 and PS3. As of now its just myself and 8 others but it'd be pretty sick if we could get this shiitake mushroom poppin' with a plethora of clan members coming from a variety of different Android handsets. Now, we don't have a clan tag just yet, procrastinators, I know, so we'll have to decide on that as well.
Apparently there's already a CyanogenMod Clan over at Steam, so it looks like any Cyanogenmod-like gamertags would kinda', I dunno, make things even more so redundant.
The clan #list on twitter.
Gamertags of the members of the XBOX 360 clan so far are as follows:
Jiqqaman
PsiQo1
xXVital EagleXx
nuzzle79
Double 0 Dub
PsYcHoTiCtAc
unstpblefilipino
topshelfsnippa
dec3ptioncs
Xiophyte
BigPoppaPhat
david279
idiedlastyear
Gamertags of the members of the PS3 clan so far are as follows:
mrbkkt1
Franteeko
ctoueg
If you wanna join, wanna suggest a clan tag, wanna flame me, whatever, feel free to add us up, shoot us a message, or post in this thread. Don't forget to download Jiqqaman's Call of Duty: Black Ops app available on the market free.
*FLAME*
Brownie points on the colours and what not though.

There are members everywhere. CMClan

Xperia Play: The Best Phone Ever

Seriously! I'am amazed by the quality of this phone. It's not because i bought it. It's because i compared it to other phone Like Galaxy S and G1 and of course my HD
The phone is fast and reactive. The application i installed are very stable and works without problems.
And the Games are actually high Level despite those made from PS1 that sucks because of the limitation of the catalog. (I wait for games from Square Soft titles)
I tried Neogeo emulation and played with the pad. I can tell for sure that any move or combo can be performed easilly. Precision is almost like the PS3 Pad and much more better than the PSP.
In fact i completly forgot my PSP since i got this phone. I don't use it anymore...
Last thing I tried was using the pad to control the mouse of my PC with Teamviewer and it worked ! You can move accurately the cursor with the direction and use the X button to click /Double click. Of course other actions could be performed via the screen.
Great potential for this year, I just hope that Sony will keep updating the device frequently.

hi,have to agree with u mate the phone is a piece of art,i swapped my iphone 4 for this and was very wary at first as i thought nothing could touch the iphone 4 but i would say this gadget is much better & im very pleased with it & cant understand the bad reviews on the net
Sry man for a phone there is no better device id only because the dpad alone.

Xperia Mobile Gaming Arena

Apparently Sony, Gameloft, and MLG want to bring competitive(?) gaming to mobile devices. This "Xperia Mobile Gaming Arena" only supports Modern Combat 3 for the moment. From what I can see there are cash prices available.
The announcement video was put up today. The link to the site is here.
Personally, this isn't my type of game, but I like to see Sony pushing the Xperia brand so aggresively. Hopefully we'll see more PS1 games and other cool stuff (PS Store) officially come to the US soon.

I got it working with the PS3 controller using the Sixxaxis controller app. Took some configuring but seems to work pretty good. Haven't really had a chance to play it much. Was playing it on the iPad since it runs much better on there.

[GAME] The Colored Path : my first game is on the Google Store

Hi fellow app developers! I'm very excited, as a humble game creator, I'm presenting you my very first game.
I have realized the game all by myself, in only two weeks. It is made in Java, under Eclipse, using the middle-ware LibGDX, and using Inkscape for the graphics. Graphics have been designed to supports the super HD resolution of 2560×1600 of the Nexus 10 tablets ! But it also runs smoothly on lower end devices.
I'd like to hear what you think about it, of course the game itself, if it is fun, if you like the game play, and also the marketing presentation I've made, and hear any advice you can give me.
Go get it ! It's free ! Thanks for your time and I look forward to hearing from you!
Don't hesitate to share it with your friends, your children and your parents ! Everyone can play it, everyone will love it :fingers-crossed: !
It is really nice app. I didn't see games like this before.
Hey, just downloaded it now. I like the design, and how fun it is. Good job!

Color blindness affects a significant number of people, and it was very interesting to learn about it.
Do you know for example that some people don't see any difference between yellow and green ? we have to think differently about the colors we use when making our apps.
A great software I recommend for 'seeing' as color blind people is Color Oracle.
Happy coding !

[PROJECT] Writing proper emulators for Android

Hey guys, I know you've seen a lot of some emulators on the Play store, for all kind of old-school consoles, NES, SNES, N64... Most of them are released under GPL license, so yes, they are open source. Sadly, the UI design doesn't match with Android's holo (4.0+) style. So, my proposal is simple. Let's develop a couple of free, open source emulators, from XDA members, with a proper UI (I can help with that, I've written a couple of modern looking apps: LockIt, wRotatr, Halo)))). My weak point is JNI. I hate it. Period. I will need a lot of help to get the emulators buiding, but after I get them, you will see a lot of UX/UI improvements.
Sources can be found here. I'd like to start with Nesoid. So, is anybody here, expert on JNI development, willing to help me on this? :good:
Cheers,
D4.
Bumping this, I have archieved some UI fixes. Still not able to build native libraries.

I haven't been able to build native libraries yet. Without that there's no emulation
How's the emulation overhaul coming along? Seems like a great project
