Okay, I know there aren't too many people from the Wii community here, but there's something of interest to maybe introduce you too, especially if you're interested in emulation on the Xperia Play.
I don't know if GBA emulators for Android support connectivity via TCP/IP, but this is something that the Wii and Gamecube community have been pondering about for a while.
Well, there's a developer that goes by the name tueidj on GBATemp, a Nintendo console homebrew forum and database, who coded a backup loader for playing Gamecube games on the Wii called Devolution. The name was because of the Gamecube's Prototype name, Dolphin, and the Wii's PT name being Revolution. Combining those names into Devolution, also because the loader will eventually be able to use Wii peripherals on the Gamecube titles such as the Classic Controller.
On the main forum topic for the project, there is a feature that is in active development that is VERY close to being released within the next few updates.
- GBA connectivity to a GBA emulator via TCP/IP
Long story short, this is what this means.

That can already be done using the GBA emulator for PC called VBA-M alongside with the Gamecube/Wii emulator for PC called Dolphin.
Now, if joybus connectivity via TCP/IP becomes or is already possible on GBA Emulators for Android, you could use your android phone as a "GBA" connected to the "Gamecube" (Wii), so your phone could be your controller on Zelda Four Swords Adventures, your Sonic Adventure Chao Garden, or even your Tingle Tuner on Wind Waker.
If this feature isn't on GBA Emulators for Android, I think this is something to give a quick word to developers about.
This is the future you guys! :laugh:
Welcome Aboard!!
EDIT: If interested, check out the Discussion page for Devolution, a GBA Link tutorial may even be posted when the developer makes that feature available.

hey! I have created a little widget which is a game named Morpion in french. You can play with in four modes: vs. Computer easy, medium or hard or two players.
hard mode is really hard, but if you beat it, I want to kow it!
You can download it by searching for MyMorpionWidget on the market.
I will post bar code as soon as possible.
I hope you will comment my job and enjoy yourself with it!

thought you'd like to know ive beaten the cpu 3 times on hard (i won the first and lost 2 times then i won 2 times/ same strategy)
I suppose it is not hard enought... You are a good gamer, if you give me your strategie, it won't be able anymore, but if nobody can win, does the game be still interesting?
You should be able to balance it. If people win to easily they will be bored, if they never win they will be frustrated. Either reaction will have the same result: don't play with the game.
I'll try it as soon as possible.
I understand, that's why, there is three mode of difficulty.
The real probleme is that this game is a kind limited...
I am thinking about a cheat mode. It will change a little the rules. Can't finish with a null. After one or two turn you will be able to erase circle or cross where you wan't to play. I'll test it and if it is cool, I'll publish it.
The problem with the game is indeed that it is too easy. With that I mean that optimal play can always be achieved by both CPU and human player. If the CPU does not make mistakes intentionally, it will always end in a draw (or CPU win). However, since the game is so simple, making mistakes intentionally is too obvious and makes the AI look stupid.
I propose that you change to another similar game that is not that easy to beat. I assume you are French, so you might know "puissance quatre" (connect four). If you can get it to fit into the dimensions of the widget, that would be a much better choice.
Anyway, good work, keep it up
Can anyone pick up where the developer of aDosbox left off? There hasn't been any work on this project in forever and it's truely an awesome application that is pretty close to fully working.
It's open source and is available at http://code.google.com/p/adosbox/
Current need additions and changes:
Correct the Key inputs on the Virtual Keyboard.
Add full 101-key support so that F-keys are emulated and arrow keys.
Add support for controller device configuration (ie, map joystick buttons to keyboard keys as a visual representation on touch screen.)
Audio + Midi support.
Mouse emulation Support in running programs.
Speed Optimizations. (perhaps a compile with GCC to make it faster?)
Anyone think they can take this kind of challenge?
I'd already be working on it if I had enough programming background experience.

Oh man, I'd love to be able to play Master of Orion and Master of Magic (and tons of others I'm sure) on my new Android!
I've already been able to completely get into the Star Control II original PC game. Just can't control the ship once I'm in game. :/ Damned Virtual Keyboard needs correct key support and additional key support.
Able to completely run Dune II on aDosbox. Figured out the mouse support. However still no sound support, and it runs a bit slow. But for a first release and it works without a hitch, that's pretty amazing. Someone really needs to continue the support off the open source code.

I've bought Master of Magic of gog.com and it's running fine without keyboard (Nexus One), tried HOMM2 which works but bit too slow to play normally ....
Looking forward dosbox to be in development again ...
Oh man, Playing NORMALITY again
Any news on this?

question
i installed borland c 3.1 on the dosbox, the problem is i can't find alt key or mouse click key to use it on my HTC Desire, anyone has any idea?
I've only found this thread from the developer.
It's from April 2011 so quite a time ago.
I've posted some comments there for the 0.2x version.
However the dev works on the project, here you can download the last one (curently it's 0.2.5 WGA 480/800 from may 2011).
For some reason:
- the dev has not shown up from that time on xda forum.
- there is no feedback on users comments concerning bugs and other issues
- THERE IS NO HELP FOR MAKING GOOD SETTINGS (ESPECIALLY MOUSE EMULATION AND SO ON) ANYWHERE. EVEN ON THE PROJECT PAGE.
I love this work. I keep thumbs for it.
However the communication sucks.
Oh. And here you've got a link for adosbox for G2/Desire Z.

It's running inside my old Debian chroot I've migrated from my old Mytouch 3G and Cliq.
It uses a VNC server with geometry 800x480, TWM window manager, and DOSBOX with a config file disabling scancodes, scaler=none, and all audio disabled.
Runs quite well. I haven't tried anything particularly demanding yet, but Moraff's Revenge, some old SSI gold box games, and various Ultima games play just fine.
The Swype keyboard is a GODSEND for emulation on this device. the cursor key input mode is PERFECT for MS-DOS games.
That's awesome. Haven't touched linux in Android since I played around with it back on my G1. Any tutorials you'd recommend?
If any X-Com or UFO games run nicely, I will never get anything done ever again. Officially.
Can you post the source for this?
i doubt it would run and if it did, probably not very well but i saw dosbox and suddenly thought about m.u.g.e.n. it ran on dos back in the day, i remember wasting countless hour setting up mugen with various characters and such
Sorry everyone, forgot about this thread.
An update: The mouse is seriously messed up; any game that relies on mouse input is basically unusable. Not sure if there's a work around for it. It's also fairly slow, but that's not all that surprising considering this is a cellphone.
I'll try to type up a decent how-to this afternoon.
Games I've run:
Dungeon Master
Ultima Underworld
Ultima 0 - 5
Legacy of the Ancients
Just about all of the SSI gold box games
Telengard
Hi, great job, but please post the how-to...thankyou!

Yes Please! I have an old DOS calculator that's critical for my job, I'd love to be able to run it on my Vibrant and Tab. Then I could finally get rid of the old XP laptop I have to hang on to JUST for this 1 program. (Can't get it to run on my Win7 machines).
Wich keys do you use for ctrl and alt?
Go get it!

Android 4.3: Shield is getting updated to Android 4.3, making it one of the first Android devices — gaming phone, tablet or otherwise — to be updated to the most current (and available) version of Android. (And some apps can now be moved to the SD card.)
Console mode: This has been teased publicly, and now it'll be available. You'll be able to plug your Shield into your TV and control it wirelessly using a Bluetooth gaming controller.
Custom control mapping: Not every app has been optimized for Shield, and not every developer will take the time to do so. So NVIDIA's giving you a way to set your own custom mappings, download mappings others have made — and share your own with your friends.
GameStream exits beta: The deal where your computer crunches the graphics and shoots them to your Shield — provided you have the proper NVIDIA graphics card — grows up and gets official. (Plus you can get some nice deals on games when you buy a new graphics card.)

Game Mapper Ability right out of the gate:
One thing I'm wondering about console mode, for the gamers out there: does it support two controllers, in other words is it possible to enjoy two players gameplay?
root?
hello!
will I lose root after update-ing? how can I root back 4.3 (what method)?
thx

Yes you will. However, you can push superuser through CWM recovery to regain root....

thanks!
awesome that now we have mapping capabilities, btw simpler than tincore.. yeey
edit: after playing about one hour nfsmw i found that game mapper it's slower in doing swipes and can't do two things at once on the screen (eg: when you order the swipe for nitro, the steer is un responsive for about half a second. And that's disastrous for your car/race ) The two actions can't be done simultaneous). Tincore makes swipes faster and also can do multiple actions on the screen at once (one doesn't have to wait for another to end as I see game mapper does. So you can nitro and steer at the same time, as it's supposed.). So i'll also keep tincore installed and use whatever is best depending on game..
if someone finds this advice useful..
Hi there folks!
At bottom you see my desktop from dex, i have fullHD samsung TV to work with dex, i wish to have better screen resolution but you know, money, money, money.... In nearest future i will buy desktop monitor and attach all cables and stuff to it. But later, ofcorse, i will share my setup.
I have few apps as you see, i use samsung internet browser for facebook due to it`s desktop mode that is best for dex, chrome`s facebook experience is not good, and samsung`s version is just like normal pc feel like facebook. So i have shortcut there. And for writing - for now i have open office port but this makes me angry due to spell checking, I`m writing native in Polish but i want to write also in english without mistakes and that open office port is just more problems that benefits. Also i have camera roll gallery app but also - to change because of lacking 360 photos view, any ideas?I had quicpic but i read that newest version is somehow buggy and this pink fonts... nope.
Rest of apps is just normal, and i cant find any other usefull apps to use with dex for now, i`ve try to connect my two hard drives to dex but it`s just not working like i want it to. What is funny - i have tv android box and this peace of cheap dung works normally with both hard drives... I`ve try different ntfs mounter sollutions but everytime - failure.
For now i feel like DEX is not developing anyhow, no updates, no new functions... i hope that this is no project like bada os project, i hope that this would be developed in future.
So, what is your ideas, apps, tricks and tips for DEX? How your DEX screen looks like?
