Gameboid Compatibility - Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Is the Nexus 7 compatible with Gameboid?
I know the app hasn't been updated in quite sometime so I'd like to know if it runs well or if there is another gba emulator I should look for.

GBA.emu works great on my Nexus 7. It does cost a few bucks though

Will try out, thanks.

I find that it works great on mine. I use my phone as the controller as well

Gameboid works fine. Might as well use it since it's free anyway.

Finally got around to trying jut Gameboid before looking at gba.emu and it works perfectly.
I had problems running it with the galaxy nexus and was expecting the same thing with the 7 but I'm glad I was wrong.
Thanks.

PS3 controller works on Nexus S 4G 2.3.5 rooted stock rom.

Just like the title says, I just got the "Sixaxis Controller" app from the market and it works on our phone.
The app is here https://market.android.com/details?id=com.dancingpixelstudios.sixaxiscontroller&feature=search_result
Just tested with a couple of emus and it works great!
costs money though
nice any games that support it? or just emulators?
wirelessly?
you use a device twice as big as your phone to play with it ^^, that's not very portable

I know for sure emulators do. As for regular games the controller works the same as a slide out keyboard (you just program the keys) so if a keyboard is supported for button mapping so is the controller.

Can this work without being rooted? I've always liked a lot of the games for mobile phones but never liked the touch screen controls.

As far as I know you have to be root.
I've been waiting on this, using the wiimote was awesome but it lacked buttons.
I'm using a Nexus S (T-Mobile bands) with CM7 nightly 155 and netarchy 1.3.9. I purchased the app and it works perfectly.
I'm loving this so much!
Has anybody got the keys mapped out for gun bros?

Gameloft Live available with lets golf 3 plus others

Hi just to let any that dont know there is a gameloft live app on the market which once installed and signed in has a list of compatible gameloft game downloads one of the games is lets golf 3 that works on the note. It also might be a handy app for other gameloft releases for the note as the android market seems to have alot of gameloft games missing for me.
This might be old news but i only found it last night, might be useful to someone.

Also of note is that the gameloft asphalt 6 HD did not work after I got my Note.
I contacted Gameloft and they sent a new download fix and it worked.
So not sure if asphalt 6 HD will show up in the Gameloft live but its possible to have it on your Note now.

Yep asphalt 6 is in gameloft live. Looks like the game companys are starting to catch up with our way ahead smartphone
Sent from my GT-N7000 using XDA App
Yeah cause I was bummed that my asphalt 6 game wouldn't play. So I emailed them and they emailed a fix to me. Perfect. Kudos to Gameloft.

The working version for the Note is listed on Samsung Apps

and can be downloaded for FREE .
anyhow gameloft confuses me a lot, many of there games are working on the note, but 'flagged' as not working by gameloft, so they cant be seen/downloaded on the market. one have to use all these tricks, like downloading on another device and using Titanium, or buying direct in the gameloft store selecting a other device type and so on. personally i stopped buying from them until the fixed there system and everything is official released for the note.
Asphalt worked on my Note fine with no problem, although I had already purchased it on another device. It still doesn't show in the market.
Great that it is listed free on Samsung Apps though! Anyone who hasn't got should! It is amazing (a real battery drainer though!)

Figures it's free now, but I bought it back in Dec.
And it's it free, yeah, buy now while it is free. Awesome game, and agree again, a battery drainer though...

Super GNES issues

Has anyone else run super gnes on their 7?
I can't seem to access any of the settings without a force close. Maybe its an issue with 4.1? Thanks for the input!

Is yours actually working now? Mine continues to just crash to the home screen without any errors, no matter what game I try to load. I've uninstalled/reinstalled with no change.
Sent an email to the dev with logcat, waiting to hear back. It continues to work fine on my phone (LG Optimus One P500, CM9), but it's kinda hard to play anything on a 3.2" screen once you've been spoiled by the 7" gloriousness that is the Nexus.
Do you guys hook up controllers to play? I've been playing some contra with nesoid but having some difficulty getting used to the touch screen dpad
I use an iControlpad. http://www.icontrolpad.com/ It was expensive but works great and has a thin profile so it sits in my bag nice. The phone clamp is removable.
I've been using sixaxis with my nexus 7 for all sorts of emulation and gaming purposes. I'd highly recommend it, especially if you own a PlayStation 3 already! It has run well on my 7 and my nexus s since the update in the topic post. I even got to play through Chrono Trigger: Flames of Eternity on it! Good times.

But the phone clamp fits on Nexus 7? I want a hands free solution to nN7 becomes a portable, it would be great.

[Q] What is the best way to play N64 games?

I've installed N64oid on my Nexus 4 and tried to run Ocarina of Time. Though it is decent, there is still a lot of frame drop. My assumption is that the phone shouldn't have any problem given the specs it has and that there is something that I can do to make this run a lot smoother.
Try this emulator.

It doesn't matter how powerful the phone is if the emulator isn't 100% flawless.

I don't see N64 on this.
The really best way to play n64 games is to buy a n64 i suggest.

Fpse open gl fix

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

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)
