Emulators, Imagine The Possibilities!

Has anyone else thought of emulators on the ouya? Playing retro games on the big screen again would be great. Personally this is one of the biggest reasons I'm excited for the console. Can't wait to play ocarina of time.

I've bought/pre ordered the ouya primarily for xbmc, but being able to pay some classics like shadow run and legend of Zelda, whilst lying in bed on a Sunday morning is massively appealing.
It's starting to feel like Christmas with the release just around the corner and I'm looking forward to seeing what the devs around here do when they get their mucky paws on it.

cooool

No, I prefer something like the Xperia Play for emulators, though its a bit out dated in term of performance. But the Ouya should do emulators really well too. I'm mainly getting the Ouya to use as an HTPC.

ditto.
I backed OUYA mainly for XBMC but the fact that I can run emulations is a bonus. imaging DosBox with all the old school Sierra games, on the big screen.

Emulate
God i totally love the idea of using emulators on this it's another reason i purchased it. On my phone gs2 i use the playstation emulators gameboy eveyrthing now to be able to do it on a tv.... man im excited

Search YouTube. Tons of videos of devs using side loaded emulators to play old school games on the Ouya. It's reality, folks.

Betrayal at Krondor

Honestly, there's not really more "possibility" with emulation on the Ouya than there is on any other somewhat recent Android device.

There is one bad thing. The focus Ouya team are now placing on emulators could result in unneeded focus on the subject and gaming company retained lawyers could be out for money. Kind of like when MP3 started getting popular and you had a lot of one hit wonders trying to sue for a back catalogue that nobody even bought when they were new. Saturday Night Live had a funny skit about that.
Ouya had better be careful, since they are pushing it as a feature, which will be like a bleeding cut in the water to lawyers.

I dunno about having to worry that much about emulation and the legalities for the OUYA. Heck, google play sells emulators that can be used on any android device. the ouya is that itself.. just another android device. emulation isn't illegal..

The emulation is not illegal, only the BIOS and the Games which are downloaded
are more or less illegal. These would have to be copied from your own console with
special equipment... nobody does this in the time of internet.
Theoretically this things could be free to download if the copyright owner allows this.
There is also my idea, that Nintendo and others aren't interested in forbidding emulation
for some (not every) console and that's why they aren't fighting against emulation.

In Ouya you can download and install anything... So, doesn't matter if it's legal or not...

Has anyone tested the Interworks Controller Pro U (aka Retro Classic Controller) with the Ouya (or any Android device)? I'm especially interested in joystick functionality...
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727

I've sideloaded SNES9X emu, works good. Started playing chrono trigger, it nice it has an option to let joystick function as dpad.

I'm about to see n64oids performance on the ouya. If it does run smoothly then I guess I will be replaying Zelda oot

I personally prefer mupen64. Ouya is plenty powerful enough for it anyway

Emulators
Emulators, I hadn't even thought of that, now I'm really excited about the Ouya, mine should be arriving very soon... I think some companies turn a blind eye to very old emulated games because it keeps their IP popular, which for some franchises still has some value.

For now, i managed to work gba, nes, snes, genesis, psx and n64 emulators via sideloading and all worked smooth with posibility of assign hardware pad buttons to them

There are 3 emulators in the OUYA store.
1. EMUya for NES emulation with intergrated ROM store (I'm sure this won't go forever, pretty much illegal).
2. Mugen64 is an N64 emulator which works better than any N64 I tested before, plus it's already mapped to work with the OUYA controller and does so flawlessly. No lag whatsoever
3. 2 different SNES emulators which also work very good. One of them is already altered to work perfect with the OUYA the other one is a known one from the play store.
I got the ouya especially for emulation, because hooking up my Galaxy S3 via HDMI to the TV and using a PS3 wireless controller was too much of a hassle and had a crazy input lag. With the OUYA no input lags at all.
Feels like playing the real consoles. Finally.

Xperia Z Gaming Thread!

Hello there before my XZ I had a xperia play but because of its outdated hardware(still a great phone though) I needed a upgrade but gaming is a big factor on my phone and I couldn't find a gaming Thread for the xperia z and since android has so many awesome games and the z is capable of handling these very well I thought to make a dedicated gaming Thread!
If your like me and have a moga pocket/pro I will also mark compatible moga games also, and if you request I will upload my GKP files for gamekeyboard for touch only games that I have set up with my moga pro!
I would include games with ps3 controller support too but I don't have a ps3 (Xbox FTW) so if people are kind enough to inform me I will add this too =)
And please also tell me what games your playing and I will try and and include them aswell!
I'll start the list with my games!
Aftermath XHD (MOGA)
Fun little zombie shooter game with great gameplay
Asphalt 7 (Moga)
Runs great everyone knows this game
Looking forward to asphalt 8
Alien vs Predator (MOGA)
The classic films made into a android game and really well too can play this for hours and nice graphics too
Bounty hunter: Black dawn
Funky fun FPS nice graphics and fun gameplay and I love the music not played it that much yet but hoping for MOGA support soon! BUT trying to set up a gkp
The Bards Tale (MOGA)
Has me in stitches laughing a fun RPG with good gameplay and a beautiful game aswell (I downloaded the 3.5GB Hd version though)
Bladeslinger
Beautiful graphics but I find combat quite repetitive and slow looks good with some cool looking bosses items are a bit overpriced though
I do like the swipe to slice with your sword though!
Bounty Arms (HID?)
Absolutely beautiful graphics but that's about it really gameplay is abit meh, supposed to be HID support it wouldn't recognise my moga in HID mode though but others have reported it does work
Brootherhood of violence (MOGA)
Nice graphics not had much time to play it though!
Carmageddon
Retro graphics (to me anyway) Fun, violent and destructive! Will set up gkp asap
Call of duty: Black ops zombies
Some graphical glitches in menus on my XZ but in game runs fine screaming for controller support though! I have set up a gkp but it's not perfect will upload if requested
Conduit HDMOGA)
Appears as incompatible with the z but does work flawlessly download apk (it's free) then purchase full game through app (£3.21)
One of my favourite games atm nice graphics and gameplay and I like the storyline aswell
Crazy taxi (MOGA)
Great game from a great console and ported to android it a great fashion smooth as butter looks beautiful and is still as fun/crazy as I remember!
Dead trigger (MOGA)
If you don't have this game go get it now it's free! Nice graphics (on max) good gameplay (can get repetitive though) but loads of guns to get/upgrade and with some crazy guns aswell!
Drift mania 2 (MOGA)
If you don't have a MOGA controller I would skip this one, but there is a light version to try!
Ok graphics but what's more fun than drifting? - actually a lot
Dungeon hunter 4 (MOGA)
Another fremium gameloft game with nice graphics, a ok story line and hours of hacking and slashing. Does get better the better armour/weapons you have.
Epoch
Nice graphics unique(ish) gameplay and pretty nice graphics can get abit repetitive sometimes though.
Expandable rearmed (MOGA)
Never played it on the dreamcast and I don't know why! One of my (many) favourite games atm and playing with the MOGA makes it so much better!
Final Fantasy 3
The DS port not played it much (my girlfriend does though) and she loves it, very cute graphics
Gangster Vegas (4)
Good graphics, massive map, gameplay not too bad (but I'm waiting on controller support) some bugs as all new gameloft games but pretty solid game overall
Gangster Rio (3) (MOGA)
It's ok, graphics are ok, gameplay is pretty poor though I wouldn't recommend as there are better style games now
GTA 3 (MOGA)
^^ Nuff said. But plays great and still as good as it was back in the day
GTA Vice city (MOGA)
^^ again Nuff said, completed on my xperia play and again (on max graphics) on my xperia z
If you don't have this games you must get it!!
House of the dead overkill: Lost Reels
I love this game, my favourite touch screen game so far, tried to map with gamekeyboard to no avail, but still it's got nice graphics, good gameplay and I can play for hours and is very repayable. I highly recommend
Max Payne (MOGA)
Never played it on any other platforms so can't compare it to them but still love this game with my moga, a deep story line and can be very chilling at time (walking across blood level) Another highly recommended game
Modern combat 4 (MOGA)
Most people have heard or seen this but it's the best COD like game we have until MC5 (maybe not best FPS) campaign is quite short but it's all about online! (to me anyways)
NOVA 3 (MOGA)
Halo clone really and pretty good game made better by MOGA controller campaign is quite long but online isn't as good as MC4
Need for speed: Most wanted
Screaming out for controller support (it is xplay optimised) but ok racing game non the less, could have made it a lot better though (free roam) Nice graphics and sound
Order and chaos online
Again screaming for controller support, but great game I enjoy playing it (can be addictive) even if they do want you to but in game currency can be achieved without
Ravensword:shadowlands (MOGA)
Loove this game it's not a perfect RPG and is quite short and the storyline is abit meh, but you will still enjoy travelling the world and exploring the beautiful scenery and upgrading your character, it's the android skyrim until they (crescent moon games) release a sequel
Rayman Jungle run
Rayman! It's looks great on our 1080p display and is a great time killer
Real boxing (MOGA)
Beautiful graphics, pretty good gameplay, I like the career mode which is quite long 60ish fights. Multiplayer would be nice though--might just be me but I find it harder to dodge with the moga.
Real racing 3
Pretty boring (to me anyways) at first and without spending real money, but once you unlock the supercars becomes a lot more fun. Still a good racing simulator with nice graphics
-I have gkp for this aswell if you want it just ask=)
Resident evil 4
Got a English version of game from Internet, pretty good love the resident evil series so nice to play on my phone
Real football 13 (MOGA)
Nice graphics, gameplay pretty terrible though and no moga analogue support fifa 12 is better
Ricky charmichael's motocross
Love this game purely for the Multiplayer, really fun and competitive, good graphics
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Yes I know I overuse brackets (haha)
Sorry if I go on about the MOGA a lot too but I do love it...
Would like to hear others opinions about games listed too!
!!!! More games incoming!!!
Please suggest things to make it better improve the list and also tell me what games your playing!!!

Anyways some of my current games:
Mini Motor Racing Xperia
-Great gameplay,easy but thats what I want from a mobile game.
Kingdom Rush
-Fun tower defense game,looks great in full hd and is just the right amount of challenging
Jetpack Joyride

Slingshot Racing
-Its cool and all,but gets boring pretty quickly,I mostly play it with friends now
Shadowguneadzone
-Great competitive fps,I discovered that I have a talent for this game...play me some time
Super Stickman Golf 2
-Amazing Game,so addictive,and looks simple but great.
Spirit
-Looks trippy and can get you playing for hours
Voxel Rush
-Pretty simple,looks cool and you can always compete with your friends since is easy to pick up
Ready Steady Bang

Crazy Taxi
-Playing this all the time,it feels nostalgic and I cant get tired of it after playing on countless systems all these years.
GelaTennis

I got lots more,but these are my top several at the moment. It's 4 am,but if this takes of ill put play store links and all that pazzaz

I Refuse to play games that do not save your progress amongst devices. Its by far and away my biggest bugbear with android.
thus i'm stuck playing games like candy crush and temple run 2.
As soon as developers get off their fat lazy asses and start allowing cloud saves, then i will start parting with my hard earned cash and playing more involved and better games.
But until then, they can go do one. I ain't wasting my time and money on a game, only to have to start all over again on a different device.
if anyone knows if there is a a definitive list of android games that allows you to cloud save, please provide a link. thanks.

Doom 3 and Return to Castle Wolfenstein played with an Ipega or PS3 pad (depending on whether I'm at work or at home), plus just about every emulator going. Like you guys I upgraded from a PLAY but still use that a lot too.
Waiting for the next update for Project S.T.A.L.K.E.R; one of my favourite games on the PC being ported to Android.
Anyone figured out how to map hard keys to NFS Most Wanted? Still use my PLAY for this game as the touchscreen controls don't cut it for me.

Despicable me, Airport scanner, men in black 3, subway surfers are some really nice games

I'm pretty sure I downloaded it through Sony Select when the EA Games 90 Days for Free offer was on, though I can't see it listed now. The Google Play version is still incompatible with the Z, as you probably know.
The 90 days offer must have expired as I just paid another £5 to continue playing it on my Z...and still without joypad support (I must be mad).
You could try the method in this link, though I can't vouch for whether it works or not:

There is a version of NFS MW with Joypad support (HID) out there
But the bad news is that it's from the Samsung app store and so will need to find someone with a Samsung device and transfer it manually.
I managed to get a copy from my other half's galaxy s4 and works fine on my Z (I own the Google Play version but as not compatible and does not have pad support what's the point of using that one).
More info if want yourself - The version is v1.5.01 but was offered as a free exclusive offer on the Samsung app store (not sure if same version still on the market but you may be able to find elsewhere).
I belive this version was used also for Samsung to demo there new external controller but it works perfectly with any HID controller (Need to change to the controller option in the settings to activate it)
EDIT - Here's the version demoed at a show (Video) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CZyUOgT8RAM&feature=youtube_gdata_player
Just wish E.A would make controller support a mandatory option in all there games as seams them and Square Enix are the last big company developers to see that people want to play with other options then just touchscreen.
Hope by this helps

Gameloft games not supported

So I basically couldnt wait for the sheild to come out and I bought one only to find out that big gameloft titles like Modern combat 4, Nova 3 etc are not supported by the shiled controls :crying: why nvidia why, I would have thought that nvidia would have some kind of on screen mapping controls like archos gamepad but I was wrong, I hope soon that they will with some kind of software update because alot of ppl who bought this thing to play big Gameloft Tiltes are not happy plzzzzz nvidia fix this
Current devices:
Xperia tablet Z 4G LTE. (4.2.2 rooted on stock rom)
Xperia Z. (4.2.2 rooted on custom Rom monxDIFIED)
Galaxy S4. (4.2.2 rooted on omega Rom)
Galaxy Note 2. (4.3 CM10.2)
Nvidia Shield. (4.2.1 rooted stock Rom)
PlayStation Vita 3G & WiFi (collecting dust)

There are 3rd party apps that let you do that.
Also NVidia have no obligation to "fix" this when it isn't an advertised feature.
If anything the only people that have to fix things are gameloft themselves.

Yes your right I hope gameloft update thier games to be compatible with the shield and their future games, besides what are the best 3rd party apps that work well with the shield

Here is the 3rd party app call gamekeyboard that can map the screen button
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.locnet.gamekeyboard&hl=en

Just to let you know, Modern Combat 4 works just fine on the SHIELD. You can fire and ironsight with the R1/L1 buttons and sprint/crouch by pushing up or down twice on the left analog.
Try the Amazon App store, it's $6.99 there. The game runs very smooth and multiplayer works great as well.

Same issue. I bought modern combat 4 for my phone a while ago, but I see no way to get it onto my shield.

LADIES AND GENTS!
Root your shield and download "Device Spoofer". This app does as it sounds and spoofs google play into thinking your shield is whatever you want it to be. This makes it so you are no longer limited to games available to only shield. I have chosen to spoof the system into thinking my shield is an Xperia Play. Now I have access to all Gameloft games on the Google Play Market.
I'm still testing controller support while spoofing though. Don't get too excited.

I went ahead and grabbed MC4 off Amazon App store...annoyed to have to buy again, but I was real curious about it working on the shield, and it does work well. The control mappings could be a bit better though, but maybe they are working it.
I also would like them to update Wild Blood - since I paid for that sometime ago but want to play it on my shield.
I wish they would quit releasing everything as freemium...I hope they DO NOT release MC5 as free to play.

I have an issue with the right stick not working in Max Payne and all gameloft games. Anyone else having that issue?

drag down the top right notification and untick virtual mouse off, then it should work :good:

Think I found my first actual complaint with the shield and it's completely software related, possibly analog stick driver related. Could be corrected for in games, but after some testing all games are sort of struck by this.
You turn off mouse emulation and the analog stick movement in games is almost entirely static aside from the small zone in the center where you can make minor corrections. Movement hits "balls to the wall" max value very quickly IMO.
Nova 3 is brilliant with shield, a lot like a Halo 3 clone, I have spent many many many hours playing halo 3 so I was very excited. After playing for about 4-5 hours last night, one thing I could tell as being mostly different (aside from R bumper fire vs R trigger fire) was regardless of the sensitivity setting, the acceleration spectrum of the joystick isn't anywhere near the same.
You can turn down the look sensitivity and moving the stick quickly plateaued out on the speed you can look in any direction. You turn it up too high 3/5th-5/5th and it makes it impossible to make any kind of very sensitive minor correction. (no scopes) For me anyway, having it set to 1/5-2/5th sensitivity is perfect for the minor corrections in that game and getting those headshots with ease. But it makes making major corrections (looking behind you 180's) impractical. When playing on the xbox the more aggressive the stick movements the more it will accelerate your movement while still keeping minor corrections possible with minor movements. (I played halo 3 on 2/5th setting)
So, I went in and started checking other games, maybe it was just a problem with nova... and it's basically doing the same thing in every game. Spent a lot of time playing GTA 3 and same thing there as well. I didn't pick it up at first because for the other games I didn't have a good idea of "what right looked like" But other games like respawnables & shadowgun are sort of the same deal even though I didn't really have a point of reference for those.
I know it's not a simple thing to explain and ask for, and I bet a lot of people won't even notice it, or think it's just me. What is needed is the joystick equivalent to "mouse acceleration" in windows though.
EDIT: and there needs to be (or a bigger) deadzone in the center, that might actually fix both problems (push minor values outwards of the center some). I have found some analog stick ghost movements when my thumbs are off them.

I wouldn't mind trying order and chaos with controller support. If you use the device spoofer just to get the app downloaded then turn it off will the games run? The issue is mostly just getting them onto the device isn't it?

The spoofer is only needed for the play store, from that point onwards the app itself has very little it can do to prevent running on your device.

Added a few more to that list - there are definitely more coming too!

Awesome Thank You! Yea excited to see more apps updated to work with the mojo. Really impressed by the power of the little guy.

Hello, I was wondering about these games.. Modern Combat 4, Dead on Arrival 2, NOVA 3, Dungeon Hunter 4? They are all listed on TegraZone and are controller enabled, so they should work right?

Not all games in the Tegra Zone are downloadable out of the play store for the Mojo. The Tegra Zone refers to apps that are designed to work with the Tegra gpu not specifically non touch screen interfaces. So amusingly the Tegra Zone app isn't available for the Mojo in the play store yet.
Nova 3 is on the list. I'll check the other games later tonight.

Oh I see.. well there has to be another way to get the apk's and that will work on the Mojo.. I'm considering buying one and i'd like to know if atleast MC4, Dungeon Hunter 4, and Dead on arrival 2 is compatible. If not it might be more worthwhile to get a Moga and a MHL cable.

We're working with Gameloft to get support for the C.T.R.L.R into their games and for them to update the manifest so that they appear on M.O.J.O. - Real Football 2013 just got updated so that's now on the list, MC4 is due shortly and Dungeon Hunter 4 will be available early next year, according to their info. There are many more titles coming and anything new from Gameloft that supports controllers should have support for M.O.J.O. and the C.T.R.L.R when they launch.
Dead On Arrival 2 is a bit of an odd one as it was available on M.O.J.O. a month or so ago but a recent update must have altered the manifest and resulted in it no longer appearing on M.O.J.O.. We've contacted the developers but had no response so far - it does work with the C.T.R.L.R though so were you to sideload the APK then it would work fine.

All of the .EMU apps are compatible and buttons are able to be mapped properly.

You mention office suite and archos video player. Do the paid versions also show up (I bought them in the past and would prefer to use the complete versions).
As for Archos not allowing the codecs there is a third party codec solution for archos, "Archos Video All Codecs". Does that one work?
Does SE Explorer work? (By work I mean show up in the play store, and if so is that including the unlock key?)
Other apps I am curious about (whether the piad versions show up in the app store):
Poweramp
VidTrim Pro
Autodesk Sketchbook (either the "mobile" or "pro" version, it would be more for viewing the stuff done on the tablet on a bigger screen to check it out).
Textmaker
AndrOpen Office
As I said, I'm more interested whether they show up in the store for easy installation as they're not exactly touch reliant and generally work well with a mouse.
Thanks for all your hard work with this list which is helpful for people who already have the MOJO and those interested in buying it (like me).

@solsearch:
Archos (full) is there and works great, the free codec pack isn't compatible, though. MadCatz supplies us with MX Player Pro through their website. I don't like it as much, but it'll do.
The only office program I've purchased is OfficeSuite 7 Pro, and it is natively compatible and works wonderfully.
Sketchbook Pro isn't available, though.

Thanks. I can always export the stuff from sketchbook so it just would have been nice but not a necessity.
I've purchased more than one office app because none of them are quite perfect. Though in my opinion OfficeSuite 7 Pro and Textmaker are the better ones (but with different strengths, which is why I tend to use Textmaker more). But since AndrOpen Office came out and it's free it should be fine, especially since you can just rip the APK from free files no problem.

Some additional games for your listing. All of which work fine with CTRLR:
Anomoly 2
Snow Spin
Fractal Combat
Choplifter HD
Burn Zombie Burn
The Conduit HD
Auralux
Zombie Driver THD
RPG Blazing Souls Accelate
Air Attack HD
Cyclone 2000

Another of the HyperDevBox strategy RPGs works well: Agarest War. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.hyperdevbox.agarestwar I was able to install it through Play Store and it lets you map the CTRL^R however you want (but doesn't seem to recognize the triggers). I started the game but I'm not a big fan of SRPGs. Luckily, it was on sale, and quite affordable. (I think the normal price is one million dollars. Must be good!)

How did you get the buttons on the CTRLR to map? I couldn't figure it out. I tried options and put it in Key mode and it just doesn't register.
Also I can't get controller mode to work on Bard's Tale. Souls Craft seems to work perfectly fine.

Option, Right Arrow.
Click to change to Key mode. Then, click "Map Keys:"
It will begin displaying buttons to you, and you just press the button you want to use.
Bard's tale has to work! Ok, it's on my to-do list.

The Bard's Tale is fine - just tested it to make sure and the CTRLR works perfectly in Gamesmart Mode.

I have a short question, but it would be helpful for developers.
I've contacted Speed Software to make the " Root Explorer " downloadable with M.O.J.O, and the developers of Dreamcast emulator " reicast ".
Both respond on my mails, but they don't know what might be necessary to change, that the Play Store allowed a download.
I want to help this problem fixing for more software, but need some more hints, what specially caused the store filter to flag software as not compatible ?

Modern Combat 5 on Mad Catz MOJO & CTRLR

Youtube I'll record a better video next week.
I installed MC5 using steps bellow, it works flawlessly on MOJO, all menus work in game smart mode (no mouse switching) but the only issue I have is with the analog triggers, You have to squeeze them completely (100%) for them to work, and the weapon trigger is on R2.
Good game so fare, requires a good internet connection my 3G drops bad in wet weather.
Installed using Market Helper:
reboot the mojo
make sure location access is on.
I installed it as follows:
Install the app from the link.
Force stop google store
Run the app,
I picked:
Selected Tablet, Nvidia Shield
Pick your country and ISP
and activated.
Logged into google for device registration.
Start google store and your favs should be purchasable.
It's a hit and miss process but it does work, all the games above were able to be installed expect GTA-4.
If it still fails force stop google store, rerun the market helper app and check.
if it still fails clear the data on both service and store and force stop google store, rerun makert helper.
On SW reboot and service/store data clear it remembered the settings for me.

UPDATE:
The game works perfect in game mode, but in multiplayer there's an issue.
I recommend people send a bug report to:
http://support.gameloft.com/Home/SupportForm/321/
ie:
Just want to let you know of a bug I found using my mad catz MOJO and CTRLR controller.
The game and controller work 100% perfectly in game mode.
But in multiplayer the right analog stick activates the aim (weapon sight) when push 100% to the left.
Kind of annoying, but if you need any more information, please email.
Thanks

Modern Combat 5
What's you favorite class? I know that game has voice chat so would a Bluetooth headset work?

Basically the red32, hip fire no aim. Its unfairly over powered hence why everyone's using it. The recon class is OK when you have all the perks for radar display etc but all the guns are like spud guns. The last gun is OK but still a fraction of the power the red has.
I played it until all the classes where fully upgraded bar the sniper class took about a week I got bored of it through over playing I guess they made it more suited to people with touch screens so when using a controller its so simple.
I only really used to struggle against the top top squads anyone outside the top 10 where easy pickings

I like assult and recon, I don't know how they do the servers but over wifi it lags badly.. I'll try ethernet... shame there's no local multiplayer.
http://www.gameloft.com/?request=fo...8-When-will-Gameloft-actually-address-the-lag
Interesting reading the MC5 forum: http://www.gameloft.com/?request=forum&url=forumdisplay.php?1647-Modern-Combat-5
voice chat haven't tried it, and haven't heard other people talking either.
I agree with Ash180287 everybody is using mostly that gun, I hope they fix that to

Yeah using the ctlrl and the note 3 over wifi, I never had any issues with lag at all, am lucky enough to have 160mb fiberoptic though so that might have something to do with it also my note 3 receives nightly os updates unlike one of my devises (nudge nudge madcats)
I did find the ctlrl not that accurate/smooth with aiming. However with the assaults u only need the cross hairs on the target no aimings required so it wasn't the end in the world. And that's not me saying theirs something up with the controller imagine its the same case for all the other controller out there.
With the assaults u only need 3 bullets to penetrate for a kill and they have range, where as the recons require a good 8 shots ot connect unless point blank and as soon as you factors in range an assault will mow you down every time.
When I was levelling my classes I dropped my win ratio and kd down to 1.0ish after sticking to the red for a few nights I got it back to 3.0 on both pretty quick, **** thing is Gameloft boot you from most your games as soon as you hit 20-0 in a match or really high kills to low deaths your automatically labeled in with the hackers and cheaters and booted from the lobby. Total bs if u look on the forum theres loads a people moaning about it.
Once ur in with a good squad because all your team provide really good covering fire for each other you don't get killed that much so its a regular occurance

Bug
Just sent a bug report to Gameloft about the controller issue. Lets hope they fix it soon.

I don't get why they don't just create a mapping feature like all emulators have... then controller support wouldn't be an issue.

Did you get the aim scoop popup when looking hard left (right analog stick)?
I get it all the time, good way of learning analog sensitivity. lol

Yep good point
Like honestly, Nvidia can do it, so why can't Mad Catz and other system makers that suffer from games having no controller support?

Asphalt
Do you play Asphalt 8 on your MOJO? I love that game.

MC5 Multiplayer
For Online Multiplayer in MC5, I want to know if Ethernet lets you play online or you have to be connected to WI FI? I know that MC4 only option is WI FI when trying to play online.

The game requires wifi even with ethernet.
You can use http://forum.xda-developers.com/xposed/modules/app-fake-wifi-connection-t2800416
I've used it and works well.
basically, install the framework, then the module, then configure the module to run on MC5.

Oh great gwaldo! Now I can actually not worry then I get MC5 and MOJO.

New multiplayer maps not on MOJO?
Has anyone managed to update MC5 on the MOJO to get the new maps yet? I get the new maps on my Lenovo tablet and my LG G3 phone but even after uninstalling and reinstalling MC5 on the MOJO I'm still stuck with the same old 3 multiplayer maps.

New maps have arrived
Checked last night and an update was available. The new multiplayer maps have arrived for the Mojo! We now have both Scramble and Overtime but without those annoying santas everywhere. It's a win-win.
