Potential gaming platform
I know it's been said on other forums, i'm not sure if it has been said in this one though. Anyways, with supposed unrestricted use to the services of the phone, i can't wait to see what sort of games we can see on Android. With wifi, 3g, and bluetooth, this can be the ultimate gaming platform and capitalize where wm and apple didn't. Imagine mmo's, multiplayer deathmatches, or something as simple as spades, all online or played on bluetooth. And androids focus on playing in wm territory can mean potential for a huge installer base. The future for Android looks bright indeed.

apps for android are Managed code in java which in most cases is the enemy of speed
and supporting 3d features in cpu and gpu though
Any phone I have had since the Nokia 3300 has become a gaming phone for me. Special kudos to playing Dragon Warrior I & II on the Nokia 6600's gameboy emulator.
(I wish the trackball would be on the left like gaming controllers, which was the first major thing I had to adapt to when going from Wing to G1, but oh well - what can ya do?)
The one thing i would love to see for the android is pocketnesterplus. I'm not sure if there is a way to use it with g1, but hopefully one will come out soon for the nes games. Its extremely hard to play alot of the nes games on most phones but with trackball it would be easier to control the directions. I've heard some of the top game companies are coming on board, all of them better if they're smart!!!
it seems like there was an opengl demo by google a while back where they ran doom I would like to see more 3D games esp if they are written to run off the kernel and display thru the FB device that android creates. As far as I know there is no reason that android apps NEED to be in java.... maybe to be on the market they do... but it's a linux kernel... it should run arm9/11 compiled programs
Does anyone know if there will be development of an emulator for old school consoles like NES and SNES?

Haven't seen any announcements of one(except that there's a really slow gameboy emulator on the marketplace) but I can say with 99.999999% assurance that there will be some.
Ultimate emulator guide
Here is a guide of all the best emulators for android and the pro's and con's of each one. Please tell me if there are more you would like me to add to the list.

FAQ:
What is netplay?
Netplay lets you play multiplayer with a friend who is on another android device via either bluetooth or wifi.
What are shaders?
Shaders are filters that go on top of the gameplay to try change or improve the graphic quality, there are tonnes of shaders to choose from so if you dont like one you can always find another somewhere online. Its also important to note that some shaders can slow down emulation.
Can I help with this guide?
Sure! Just add you emulator of choice in the comments and fill it out using the template below (remember to remove the bits in the brackets!). I will add any emulators filled out in this format to the op.
(Emulator name)
Pros: (whats great about it)
Cons: (any downsides)

Just want to add a bit about the SNES emulators...we wary of any that you need to pay for. Some of them use Snes9X as their base and the license agreement for Snes9X says it needs to be distributed for free.
Snes9X EX is the one to use, and I believe is the only one that licneses Snes9X properly.. For some reason it's been removed from the market but you can find it by googling. A good advantage is that you don't need to map the XPlay's buttons manually, it's already done for you, which is nice. Great compatibility, emulates most games perfectly though I have noticed some stutters and occasional slowdown in A Link to the Past. Donkey Kong Country also runs noticeably faster than in should, and I haven't found a way to slow it back down to normal speed yet.
Snes AD is also pretty good. Free on the market. I'm not sure what it's based on though. Also great compatibility. Doesn't have the problem with DKC running too quickly. Some logo screens don't work properly. You'll need to map the buttons yourself.
Thanks for the info

Yep im pretty aware of the fakes, most of them are just rip offs of snesoid.
When I do a write up about the snes emulators I will put up snesoid, snes ad, snes9xEX and snesdroid since its the only snes emulator for android that supports shaders.
What's the advantage to supporting shaders? I thought they were a 3d thing.

Think of them as a filter that goes on top of the game that can do things like smooth out the graphics a bit so it doesn't look as pixely or anti-aliasing shaders so objects dont have jagged edges. They basically try to make the old games look better.
One of my fave shaders for PC emulators is the cartoon shaders for epsxe. They make PS1 games look cel-shaded.

They are all clones of gameboid, but please do post here if you find any that are not clones.
Edit: did find some legitimate ones that were not gameboid clones but they were all pretty terrible. No real advantages over gameboid.
Most of the emulators I post here have some sort of advantage over each other.

Can we not start with this stupid argument again please, snes9x is open source and covered by the GPL. Under the GPL rules there is nothing wrong with people using the source, making there own emulator and charging.

Very useful info mate. Nice one. Am shocked about nulldce, looked very interesting.
Seeing as there are obviously people on here that know about the emus has anyone had king of fighters 2003 working. If so please could you tel me what emu, version, bios and where you got the Rom. Everyone I've tried has failed.

Please don't ask for warez or where you can download them, It's forbidden in the rules, the only roms you can legally use are ones ripped from your own owned games, the same goes for bios's

Yep what Androhero said, you cant ask for roms or bios. Im sure somebody could tell you what emu you need though.
I googled the game and it appears to be for the neo geo and arcades. so you either need a neogeo emulator (I could only find neo geo pocket) or a mame emulator. Ive never played the neo geo or any arcade games so I dont really know what would be the best emulators to use sorry.
Also I really hope NullDCe gets released at some point but by looking at the devs track record that might never happen, he ported his emulator to multiple other consoles including the psp but he never publicly released them.

Project Fiona is a concept tablet which runs Windows 7 soon to be 8 on a i7 Intel processor so basically you can play ANY PC game. Since gamers don't like using the screen to play games this tablet will come with Integrated dual gaming controls also Dolby 7.1 surround sound support.
http://techgeek.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/Fiona_topV_whtBG-640x360.jpg
"LAS VEGAS, Jan. 10, 2012 /PRNewswire/ — Consumer Electronics Show – Razer™, the world leader in high performance gaming hardware, is proud to announce their newest gaming concept design – the Project Fiona PC Gaming Tablet. Unlike other tablets designed for general use and casual gaming, Project Fiona is a tablet concept designed to play the most popular PC games of today with an intuitive control setup for a phenomenal on-the-go gaming experience.
Powered by Intel® Core™ i7
Razer worked closely with Intel to harness the power of its third generation Intel® Core™ i7 processor in Project Fiona. As a result, Razer’s tablet is more akin to a fully functioning PC; and yet in a form factor and platform highly familiar to everybody.
Instead of relying on developers to work on a suite of brand new applications for Project Fiona, many PC games today run natively on the tablet concept without the need to be ported, optimized, or developed from scratch.
Moreover, Project Fiona will feature one of the most powerful processors integrated in a tablet form factor. Instead of the casual and mobile-only games that run on under-powered tablets, Project Fiona will run full-fledged PC games that have never run on a tablet form factor before until today.
“Project Fiona’s combination of high performance Intel-based gaming hardware and innovative tablet design is specifically focused for PC gamers. It will unleash the PC gamer to play their existing and future high-end games in one of the most exciting new form factors – a tablet,” said Brad Graff, Director of Partner Marketing, Netbook & Tablet Group, Intel.
PC Gaming User Interface Designed For a Tablet Form Factor
Razer’s multi-award winning user interface and ergonomics team have developed an all-new hybrid user interface scheme for Project Fiona. Featuring integrated dual game controllers with ultra-precise analog sticks, Project Fiona runs gamepad-enabled PC games right out of the box.
Along with the game controllers, Project Fiona is also designed with ultra-precise accelerometers and a highly sensitive multi-touch screen. This provides game developers with new game experiential opportunities to develop around the hybrid game control experience offered by Project Fiona. It also ensures current-generation PC games run on the tablet concept, as well as any existing games optimized for the touchscreen interface of a tablet.
Future games developed for Fiona are expected to take advantage of not just the integrated gamepad controls but also integrate core game functionality controls for the touchscreen and accelerometer-based controls.
“While multi-touch screens have become the de facto user interface for tablets, they are not the right interface for serious PC gaming,” said Min-Liang Tan, CEO, Razer. “The user interface we have designed for Project Fiona allows all existing PC games to be played right out of the box and also provides game developers new opportunities as they develop next-gen games on a highly-intuitive platform. Both developers and gamers are going to love the new user interface that combines the best of a gamepad, multi-touch screen and accelerometers for an all-new gaming experience on-the-go.”
The Most Immersive Gaming Experience on a Tablet
To further intensify the gaming experience with Project Fiona, Razer’s integrated dual controllers deliver full force feedback, so every explosion or gun recoil can be felt in the gamer’s hands.
THX® Ltd., which works with many of the world’s most innovative audio and video home entertainment manufacturers, agrees that the tablet adds tremendous flexibility to a gamer’s lifestyle. “Video games, music and entertainment that previously were mainly enjoyed within the home can now be enjoyed anywhere through tablets such as the Razer Concept PC Gaming Tablet,” said Chris Golson, Senior Director, Business Development, THX.
Developer units of the Project Fiona Concept PC Gaming Tablet will be made available soon. Interested parties should email [email protected] for more information. Project Fiona will be on display at Razer’s booth in South Hall 3, #31473.
About the Project Fiona Concept PC Gaming Tablet
Project Fiona is the only tablet in the world designed for PC gaming.
Price: Estimated below USD $1,000"
Do you think this Tablet/PC would be worth it or would just buy a laptop instead?

Looks pretty ugly, and inconvenient. They don't even mention what clock speed the i7 runs at, or what GPU it uses. Not to mention, it's just a concept that dates back to January. Pass
Bet this crap will be overpriced as **** as any other Razer product.

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
DB42
Doom GLES
Meganoid 2
Tiny Little Racing
Tiny Little Racing 2
Eternity Warriors 2
Quell
Quell+
Quell Reflect+
Quell Memento+
Fist of Awesome
Doptrix
I've contacted a number of devs...Still waiting for more responses, but so far:
Lightning + Browser > Updated for MOJO
SolidExplorer > Will be updated in v2.0
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 ?
