Best Gaming Emulator for Nexus player? - Nexus Player Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Recently bought a Nexus player and ran into the Retrobox app, any good for the Nexus player? Is there a better one or a better way?
New to this, Thx in advance
Arlo

I guess it will depend on what you're into.
For me it is mostly SNES, PSX, and some PSP games.
These two are free....
SNES - Snes9x EX+
PSP - PPSSPP
The PSX one I paid for...
PSX - FPse or you can get ePSXe as both have different compatibility lists.

Any Sega mega drive emulators that play nice with NP?

Retroarch works with all emulators, a good all in one, but has a little bit of a learning curve. But each emu has a little bit of a learning curve individually.
Search for the emu you want on the play store via PC. It will tell you if compatible with NP. You can install from there as well. For some you will need sideload launcher or open from the app drawer in the settings menu.

how good is the psp emu? i'd love to play some rhythm games

anyone tried Reicast ?

I feel like I've tried everything. Like I'll set-up the directories, but it won't let me go back to the screen to boot the BIOS or game. Are you using a mouse or keyboard by chance?

if you have java you can use mobiles24.com you have to sign up (free) and ten you get about 30 dl's a day. there are some ok time killers in there. some are hit and miss with installation. im guessing you have a herald/wing, so you need to select games at 240x320 screen size. give it a shot. after dl open esmertec jbed and menu/install/local files. good luck

There are some emulators for your herald. With these you can download and play nintendo, super nintendo and playstation games.

does playstation actually run well on the herald? even on my PC (dual core, 2gb ram, x850 platinum video card) there are parts of games that can lag up terribly (during some 3d FMV's and such).
I assume you definitely have to be running a pretty stripped down rom to use it at all playably... would OTP7 be too bulky to run the playstation emu on?
thanks =)

works fine for me.
and it runs *smoothly* on PSX games? wow
thx! =)
I just flashed to OPT 7.3.1, and pocketSNES runs SLOW - it ran slow on the stock ROM as well, but I was hoping a better rom would fix the problem. oh well.
do you have any tips or tweaks for me to speed up my PocketSNES gameplay?
I can't imagine emulating PSX on this phone if even the SNES emu runs slow.....

It looks and runs great....much smother than the same game on my epic 4g. Unfortunately, the fact that the A7 doesn't have multi touch makes it a little irritating to play. It can be done though. I haven't tried it with the xbox controller mod.
Sweet thanks. Will install it later.

What about the popular emulators like Gameboy and genesis? Do they play ok on the Elocity? Asking because of the multi touch.

They play amazing. I just got my Xbox 360 controllers in today. I've been stuck on Mario 3 Most of this evening! The NES,SNES,Genises, And GBA work great. But the PSX is not the best. Though it's hard enough on any device to get PSX emulator smooth enough to play more then once.
You would have to install the MOD from the XDA Fourm. But it's very much worth the time and effort.It's a tweak of Dexter's Mod, So your not losing anything.Hope that gives you a lil help
Happy gaming!
Thanks I<3Android
Will look into the mod soon.

Does anyone know of a dreamcast emulator?
Just watched a video of a CPS2 emu running Marvel vs Capcom on the Play. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V29sb73bhKI
this cellphone is the best for emus, even if decent exclusive games take a long time I think the wait won't be that bad.

You will not be able to pick up n64oid as it has been taken off the market to work better. Developer put it up on his twitter I think I remember reading.
There is a dreamcast emulator in development but it may be past the capacity of the Xperia Play.

Version 1.1.4.
And you can get any of the emulator's I have from other source's hint Google search engine is your friend.
FPSE is still on the market.
NESoid, SNESoid, N64oid works great.
FPse has some problems with the compability of games. But games that actually load works good.
Hi,
Doesn't the xperia play come with its own ps1 emulator?
I heard that there are official ps1 games in the market.
Also if it has its own ps1 emulator does it play ALL ps1 games?
Sent from my Milestone using XDA App
yes there is an app or function to play ps1 games already on the phone but SE are using some wierd setup/format for their games to run with it, i've checked crash bandicoot files already, never seen the format before. so its not a case of drag and drop your old ps1 classic ISOs on the mem card and be done with.
try FPse for ps1 emulation. not as good or compatible with all games like the official playstation pocket app is, but until someone finds out a way to port games from ISOs to the format SE are using, its our only option.
Best Super Nintendo emu: Snes9x EX (free, no ads )

has anyone tried to map a input to the O button on the gamepad on any emulator?
when i try it always backspaces out of the menu , i can map all the other buttons just fine except the O button
i havnt seen anyone else complain about that so im guessing there is a way around this?
O is generally the "back" button. In Snes9x EX I had to remap the exit key since it was the O standard.
New to Droid.
Hey guys, I'm sitting here with a brand new Xperia Play and I just converted from iPhone. I'm a rather experienced jailbreaker and have been on the iPhone train since the first model. I'm feeling so lost on Droid that I just barrely managed to change the wallpaper, haha, just so u know what kind of situation I'm in.
So, I downloaded a couple of emulators but I can't seem to get them to run games.
I figure this is because my device isn't rooted?
If that's the case, can someone give me a dummie guide on how to root the xperia play? I'm on gingerbread 2.3.2. Thx.

At the moment, there's no way to root the Xperia play. However, you will most likely not need root for anything you want to do, as this is Android and not iOS. Root on Android is usually used to install custom roms, themes, to overclock the device or tune CPU settings and the like. Everything else, like emulators, works right out of the door.
Every emulator works differently, some of them require a bios rom. You'll have to look around to find out how to get them.

Every emulator works differently, but all of them require a bios rom. You can get one of those installed easily by downloading the app "Emulator Roms" and pick one of the roms, for example a GBA game. When you choose it, you can either press "download" or "One Click Setting GBA BIOS" - press that button and you're ready to go on GBA. It works the same for SNES and whathave you ^^

That's pretty much it, yep. It's not all that different than an emulator on your PC would work.
The EmulatorROM site that the emulator provided isn't available for download so I found another program but it just downloaded the 7zip files, which are unusable? Should I connect to a PC and unzip in the folder to make it work? :X

Games or apps not working with CM 10.1 on Nook HD+?

I am finding some since starting to play some lately. They play fine on my other devices. Again, I could be expecting too much out of this device, but Galazer is a simple (though great) game. Monster Shooter 2 is a high res game wih a LOT going on and plays smooth on the Nook- until it crashed at same next level spot everytime.
Galazer Deluxe= Great Galaga clone. Graphics corrupt & ghost after first board. First board plays fine.
GTA Vice City = Starts and then locks device up forcing need to shut down with power button.
Monster Shooter 2 = Plays okay for first few levels and then crashes to Nook home screen.

Apparently we need to allow bigger heap size?
Cannot really comment on the other two apps as they are non free and I cannot play them, but would be great if you can collect some logs yourself.

anyone know how to install zen pinball hd? I can sideload it, but then I'm not able to restore purchased tables from my google play account, so I need to install it from market.
with the help of market helper I was able to fool google play into thinking that I have nexus 7, but it still lists as incompatible. Therefore it must have problem with density/resolution...

Sorry I am just now reading this.... Not sure how missed it. Zen showed up in the market and installed with stock 2.1, but the SW games did not work. ALL games work fine with 10.1. Super smooth and loads normal speed. No side loading the app is needed for the install.

I know right!?!!
I use 1 Mobile Market to load all free apps on Google Play Store that say that they are not compatible, including Scrabble and Zen Pinball.
Zen shows up for me in the market. Strange it does not for all. Plays fine.
I found Zen to be unplayable. Every other pinball game I have tried has worked fine.
