I'm wanting to have an emulation box under my TV and the mojo seems like It might fit this, I was just wondering what emulators can it run? I'm interested in 80s/90s systems mainly like the zx spectrum, c64, nes, mega drive, snes, and so on.
Nes, Snes, and n64 should work just fine.
N64 works the best I've seen it on Android. Still not perfect, but the extra oomph the Mojo provides makes the difference I think. Retroarch has improved a great deal in this regard. I would have like to see the new ParaLLEl emu work but it's unlikely to work on these kinds of devices at all and is more for the desktop if I'm reading it right.

is there any good snes or nes emulators that function well on the treo?
i dunno about the pro but the old 700s had some that would run fine. i would imagine that they would be the same ones that you would use.
Does this app work on the Xperia Play. It says the phone needs to be very powerful.
Can anyone try this please.
It works absolutely flawless in Mario 64. Orcarina of Time has a few slowdowns in menus and when once scene transitions to the other, but is perfectly playable. Also, the developer announced he'll re-release it soon with much improved performance and support for the analog pads is planned - so I'd say it should work fine.
I could be wrong, but i think he is referring to the nintendo ds emulator. I honestly doubt it will perform well, even remotely playable. My desire hd has same hardware, with more ram and its not powerful enough. Unless the dev starts updating the app much much more.

that's n64oid
this is about nds4droid a nintendo ds emulator
try tiger demo (nds emulator demo)
it's free and basically the same application
but to answer your question, runs very slowly, depending on the game 1-5fps some demos/homebrew run at 30+fps but are not commercial games
Oh sorry, you're right, he said NDS4droid ^^
Yeah, that's probably not going to run very well unless the developer somehow manages to emulate a DS with less... Well, emulation. The phone uses arm processor and, incidentially, the DS does too. Altho ours are a lot faster and, well, newer, it might be a lot easier to emulate the DS hardware on this similar hardware.
Incidentially, for the interested, the PSP does NOT use ARM processors but RISC processors, which work differently and make Emulation potentially a lot harder on our devices.
Edit: Actually, I did some more research, and it seems like the ARM architecture contains almost all RISC instructions, so emulation of PSP and PS2 games might be quite easy. Altho to make that work, the emulator will have to be directly developed for that platform and in the Android NDK. Ports of PC software will probably not be able to benefit from this similarities.
I thought PSP used MIPS?
Pure speculation at this point, but anyone who might have more insight than the rest of us chime in on the full power of a Tegra 3 that we are supposed to be seeing in the next Transformer.
Specifically my wife is giving me the ultimatum on my PS2 game discs that are gathering dust. I adamantly insist that I'll see a PS2 emu on the Tegra 3 so I am saving all my PS2 RPG's for that day. She thinks I am being a packrat.
Only you can save my PS2 discs from the salvation army!
Don't hold out hope for a PS2 emulator on Android any time soon. The current PS1 emulators barely run at full speed, even when overclocked. On PC, you need about a 4Ghz CPU clock to run most PS2 games at full speed. It's all because the PS2 runs on a unique architecture that no one has yet been able to optimize for current hardware, and Sony has never been nice enough to open source the PS2 for emulators.
My advice? Rip all of your PS2 games to a hard drive, then get yourself a brand new gaming PC and overclock the crap out of it.
Hm, I never had any gaming device other than the original nintendo... and I got that from a garage sale. Man, you people are spoiled.

Thanks for the honest answer.
An even different point of view: the PS3 can't emulate via software the PS2. And Sony kinda knows how a PS2 works

As a avid gamer and someone who was looking into a 7 inch tab and seeing as the nexus 7 is pretty close to best and cheapest i could find.Which emulators work best for the system?
As Im pretty sure the system has no problem running older stuff like snes or genesis i was wondering about Mame or Neogeo and even possibly n64 or PS.
pretty much looking to see which ones are in a playable state and who else likes to use their tabs for this
very excited being able to use my old ps3 controller with the system. Maybe even get a wiimote to use. :laugh:
Most emulators i have tried on the nexus 7 run full speed. Info below
N64 via Mupen64 and N64oid
Full speed on most games. Some compatibility issues with some games, but this is not in relation to issues with speed
Mame via mame4droid and mame4droid reloaded
Have not tried the reloaded version (this supports more games but runs slower on some games due to more accurate emulation) Most games in the 1980-1992 era seem to run at full speed (silky smooth 60hz scrolling)
C64 via vice and anvicex64
This is based on Vice 2.3 which has more accurate c64 emulation. This would drive most intel atom single core based netbooks to a crawl but runs full speed on the nexus even with full screen, crt emulation and audio
Playstation (via fpse and epsxe)
full speed on most games (epsxe seems to have more accurate emulation)
Amiga (via uae4droid)
Full speed with audio
Have not tried genesis or snes, but i would guess these would be full speed
Overall a great device for the price
Loving Mame4Droid on the Nexus 7 it plays fantastic! I just need to find a compatible wireless game controller so I can have the device on charge while I play away lol.

Here's a question.
Can i use an intel atom for basic tasks and old games??
I'm gonna read your replies.
Here's the specs:
Intel atom N450 1.66Ghz.
2gb of ram 667Mhz.
160gb 5400 RPM WD blue hard drive (I'm gonna replace it with an 120gb ssd because is failing)
I want to use as a Quake 3 arena pc too
Here's a capture of the barely working windows 7 ultimate installation

From looking at random videos online, it could (hopefully) run Quake 3 Arena at around 40fps on Medium. I don't know if it could run many other games, though. The best I can see it doing is emulation of old consoles like N64, and very simple games from the 90s-2000s.
My suggestion: Stay away from consumer oriented versions of Windows. Use Enterprise if you can. I use Enterprise 2021 LTSC on my gaming PC; it comes with none of the bloat that the consumer versions do.
The performance of your rig depends heavily on the GPU, but the Atom is not intended as a desktop/gaming chip. I wouldn't expect much.

At the very least
