Has anyone else found that games detect the G2 and set into Low Graphics, mine does Modern Combat 4 goes to medium settings, no fire or even smoke effects on menu to show high graphics.. This is dissapointing this is now in the top 3 phones for gaming. Other games at least offer you the option to change settings like with Dead Trigger cause it set to Low as well (runs 60FPS on High though so it's a problem with either the phone or the apps)
I've tried using the apk modder to use the original APK i have from gameloft and setting it to 3 but then when I install it and download the files.. back to 1, 0 is the lowest.. and my G2 gets set to 1. Come on gameloft, I want it at least on 2.

What settings are the best for better framerate?
I am posting this because im only getting 40 framerate when playing Rayman 2.
Any advice?

Use eboots, they are a lot faster than other forms of rips (bin etc).
Other than that, zodtt himself gives the following advice (quoted from www(dot)androidemus(dot)com):
Things that must be known:
- Anti aliasing on some devices is slow. Disable it to start off with.
- Make sure you have precise cdrom DISABLED. It affects audio greatly. It's only for Diablo, in which case it needs that setting.
- Save states can become incompatible between releases. I try to minimize these issues, but if you run into a performance issue, try without save states.
- Save states also save the cycle and precise cdrom settings you saved with. Once saved they are locked in!
- Use NTSC (US/Japanese) versions of games if possible! I haven't been testing with PAL games and they run at a different FPS.
- The Cycle setting is your friend. Raising it MAY increase your FPS. Raising it too high will just increase the FPS but not the gameplay. Lowering it to 2 helps in some games, especially heavily 3D ones. It's very dependent on the game being played.
That being said:
1. Uninstall v2. Re-Install the latest version of v2. At time of writing it's 1.1.2. Confirm it is the latest version. Leave every setting at the default. Enable the FPS setting. Disable the Anti-Aliasing setting. Start a NEW game (NO Save States). Note the game being tested, and note the FPS in a certain area of that game.
2. From there, try a Cycle setting of 4 instead of 3, and start a new game with no save states. You might also want to try a refresh rate of 30 instead of 60. Check the FPS in that game and see if it went up in that area.
3. Try enabling CDDA if you have a proper rip with the CDDA files in place. If that doesn't help, try disabling sound and (or?) CDDA.
Alternatively, wait for FPSeCE for Android, should be out any day now...
Hello could someone please tell me the best PSX emulator for the Xperia Play and give detailed instructions on setting it up so that it runs smoothly? I have tried one, FPse, but the sound does not work properly. psx4droid doesn't work at all [the latest version 3.0.6,] it just keeps asking me to force close when I try to load a rom. Please give the name of the emulator and the version and how to set it up for the Xperia Play.
the best emulator so far is FPSe, check on the Apps & Themes section, there is a sticky with all playable roms.
FPse.
Mine works perfect. No sound or framerate choppiness at all.
How did you set up FPse ? Mine has poor sound, it doesn't seem to be playing all the sound only some parts.
Solved the sound issues. So in FPse i went into "system" and unchecked Mdec Acceleration, Gte Acceleration and HLE mode. Now I hear all the audio though at some points the audio slows down a bit.

I have -
Country - USA (i live in the UK though but i d/l USA games. This might make a difference to smoothness as the timing of the games is 50 mhz or 60 mhz and could account for some choppy sound)
Mdec - On
Gte - On
Fast Booting - On
HLE - Off
Boost Mode - Off
No Sound - Off
Spu Sync - Off
Framelimiter - On
Frameskip - None
Screen Filtering - Off
Screensize - Full Screen
Fast Overlay - Off
Screen Orientation - Landscape (turning off auto in theory could speed emulation up)
Print fps - Off
Invert colors - Off
Some games didnt work very well. Tony Hawks 2 had very glitchy graphical errors (or might of been THPS 1, cant remember), and Colin Mcrae 2 grinded to a halt.
Here is what i have tried though -
Time Crisis (touch screen as light gun, dam awesome)
Demolition Derby
Rampage Universal Tour
Point Blank (touch screen as light gun, dam awesome)
Strider 2
Die Hard Trilogy
All of them run flawlessly. No graphical glitched. Now sound stuttering. (and i mean none at all, not even a tiny hiccup).
I have rooted my phone, taken away lots of bloatware. Maybe this helps, maybe not.
N64 emulator sound skips for me alot. fpse none though.
Hey man mine is rooted also, you said you took off bloatware, could you go into detail? I want to take off stuff but I do not want to "brick" the phone because I don't know how I would get it back working.
Check out this thread for removing bloatware: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1046699
Man I don't think it's actually possible to get this damn emulator playing the sound properly, it keeps slowing down messing up the sounds. sucks man.
Sorry to bump an old thread..
But does the phone need to be rooted to work with emulators - to eventually play psx games ?
and what is the actualy process on loading these old school games to the xperia play?
Especially looking forward to colin mcrae..
plz help
Thanks
No.
No root is needed for emu. In phone .it is just a normal app..

No you don't need to be rooted.
If you're looking to use FPSe, here's how to get playing your games:
1.) Buy and install FPSe.
2.) Open up the app and it will ask you to load a BIOS. Google is your one and only friend when searching for the PSX BIOS.
3.) After that, you can load your game. So rip your own .iso from games you own. Or again, Google is your friend for this.
4.) Then you can load the game and stay playing.
You might have to change a few settings to get the game and emulator performing better, that's basically trial and error.
Whats the best System/input/overall settings for these two emulators, to get nice smooth, non laggy gameplay? i find on fpse my tekken 3 lags a little every once and a while, and on n64oid..Zelda OOT lags a little everytime i roll lol...any suggestions of proper settings? i must have something setup wrong since i see vids on youtube with no lag gameplay, especially on Zelda OOT.. thanks guys really appreciate the help. Kes
For Tekken 3, and most psx games, you can pretty much use HLE, set frameskip to any option, frame limiter on, and make sure you DISABLE rumble. Tekken and many games will lag badly with rumble on. Use the default settings (reinstall fpse or clear defaults), then enable hle or dont' configure a bios. Then define your controls, and turn on only l1/l2 and r1/r2 as on screen buttons. Don't modify the configuration settings for the overlay, and don't modify anything else. SAve these as your defaults and tekken 3 should scream. From there, you can slowly tweak whatever else you want and see what you're enabling that's breaking your framerate. FYI, I keep reading from users that bios mode is faster than HLE, but that has not been my experience. Bios mode has enabled some games that didn't work with HLE alone, but the framerates are similar to PSX4droid, which in comparison to FPSE in HLE mode have been crap with the games I've tried.
*update*
So after playing with the default config and trying my bios again, it appears those SAME settings I was referring to are the cause of abysmal bios emulation speeds. With bios enabled, most games run as well as or better than with the HLE settings. Furthermore, frameskip works properly, and makes tobal 2 completely playable at full speeds with sound and only periodic frame jumping. Tony Hawk 2 also renders correctly. Can't gripe at anyone but myself for not having enjoyed FPSE to its full extent all this time. If you have issues, I'd be happy to post my default config. I taylor specific games off of that, took a while to update most of my 30 isos to use bios mode, but it was completely worth it. Thanks for posting your question, and forcing me to reevaluate my settings

Thanks a lot for your help man, really appreciate the prompt and detailed reply ya i found that it runs a little smoother in bios mode too
You know the save default config in FPSE...is that for each individual game?
I find some games work better on one setting, whilst others work better on another setting.
I know you can save individual configs, but just a bit confused as to what the procedure is to do so.

The config profiles are mightily confusing for someone new to them.
Took me a while to understand how they work too. It's not very well done tbh.
Easy once you understand though.
1) Without loading a game, change your settings then save them <--- this is now your default settings
2) When you load a game and change the settings, this now becomes your settings for that individual game.
3) Unless you save them as the default settings, which now become the default settings.
Not very user friendly, but they work nevertheless.
Cheers.
Been muddling my way through it.
Wish you could do that in N64oid!
Is there a way to get the sticks to work in FPse?
Trying to play Ape escape and it tells me I need a dual shock controller.
I go in and there doesn't seem to be a setting for them unless I am missing it.
Edit:
Where can I find N64droid?

The dev at FPSE said they are working on it so hopefully it will work soon.
N64oid is available at SlideME market.
Hmm
Downloaded a game but due to high demand of game cant play it.even after setting every thing to low or no.even thou you have supported version of dieect x.visual c++ repositories.etc etc
This is a right guide.
Oncs you install a game and run it for first time a folder is created in the documents folder of windows.This folder is generally named as the name of game.inside this there are all the info files which game uses to recognise where the user is in a level and what confifuration of output to give to user.aftervaearching inside this folder you will shurley found a file which will contain settings of graphics of game.you can edit this file for better performance.CAN ADD THOSD IDENTITIES WHICH ARE NOT LISTED IN GAMEA GRAPHICAL SETTING MENU LIKE FRAME PER SECONDS.
what to do whith it
1 -- resolution of game -- should be low for bettwr perdormance.
2 -- disabling anti-aliance to zero will drastically boost you game performance with lowering graphical quality.
3 -- disabling v-syne will also aid in boosting games.
4 -- disabling shaders of any kind will remove shadow from game but will free more ram for actual object.
5 -- if using windows vista.7.8.10 then use a 4 gb pen drive as a ready boost device befor starting game.
6 -- decreasing fps counter to a certain limit will remove lag from game but if it goes down from 20 it will start to get gicchy and you will be tired playing it soon.
If there settings in the file are changed and then to you are not able to play.check graphics card settings for this game and correct it.i am shure moat of the games with lag will perform best after this changes.

Hello guys,?
After into the use of the tablet for about 1 week I found same pretty cool tweak. Before coming in to the topic , I'm really impressed in the device performance also the issues that others faces could be solved . First of all for those who are complaining about the lollipop about nvidia removing the power control option let me say this,its not removed just hidden??.So first step in getting max fps is to find the power control [Just do a google in how to find hidden power controlled] So after finding the power control menu move to apps in the above mentioned section in the power menu and select the required game or app tap it and make a custom setting there on your desired requirements .There you may run apps in very low resolution or in very high [Nearly 2k] depending on your requirement.
So,??
Here in power control you can set the processor clock to save power or max performance or optimum depending on your need .this will help you resolve the battery issues in lollipop .
My recommendation is to play games in lowest possible resolution in the battery saver mode. This provides you with good amount of power saving. Also don't get me wrong in asking you guys to play games in lowest setting thinking that our device is not capable,its just to save power ??

.... uhm. look at the link below. thats a thread that i already made a while ago (last year to be exact -.-), buddy. this is nothing new
MY thread is in the same section (which is the "General Section") as the one you just posted today -.-
http://forum.xda-developers.com/nvi...tention-how-to-to-power-control-menu-t3164381
and sry if you might feel this would work, but it doesn't. many ppl already complained that the power control doesn't work in lollipop.
and about that resolution thing you mentioned. it kinda just lowers the display resolution, NOT the actual rendering resolution. so even if your game might feel snappier, its just a placebo effect afterall.
and pls use the search function next time before posting about something which already has a thread on this site (no offense)
I don't think so...
The power controll menu does work,Its is not changing the device resolution just the rendering resolution I'm saying this because just play a game in max resolution and in native one.you will find the max resolution one with some edge cutting problem... this is because of the high res texture in low display resolution. To really see the difference connect it to an fHd TV via an HDMI. Even if it is just lowering the device display still it would improve the frames by a good difference also my thread is not really about finding the power control but about how to use it....
I will be uploading visual proof of change in visual quality....

i wasn't talking about that the display resolution feature wouldn't work. i was talking about the whole power control menu itself with all its other functions. setting the cpu or the framerate did change absolutly nothing. if i change the framerate to 30 or even 25 for en example, the system would still output 60 fps (if the app/game is not too demanding in terms of performance). and about the cpu setting, guess what, this doesn't work either. if you change the clock to minimum for example, all apps/ games will still run normally like nothing was changed.
you can also check the cpu clock with any working cpu monitoring app and see that almost the whole power control menu does not work the way it should (or like it was on kitkat because that one really did work). only the display resolution thing is kind of working. but the rest of it isn't doing what its supposed to be.

Game is MC4 you can clearly see the colour difference in red
The power control works if you know what to tweak in it. There are applications that throttle if all 4 cores are used. Facebook works more stable with 2 cores and 80% frequency. You will see more opportunities if you experiment. In my observation in general, lollipop update in this device was not well thought out so Nvidia leaves the power management with you. Yeah, very irresponsible of them.
If tweaked right, performance difference of apps is night and day, no kidding. Stop arguing and finally try it, don't reason based on what you have read. This goes without saying, do not contribute if you don't have an actual unit. Thanks.
