Decent ways to play PS1 games? Dualshock emulation is horrible. - Nintendo Switch Questions & Answers

So I've tried Retroarch, ePSXe, and a few free emulators on GAPPS. They all seem to have the same problem. Either the joysticks won't work at all, or when they do, the right joystick can only be used at an angle in some games. This is especially frustrating if you're trying to play a game like Ape Escape where the right analog is used to attack or use the net. Any good solutions, or good emulators that let you properly map the joysticks the way you can with say the Dolphin emulator?

Have you tried different Joycons? I have tried a few emulators myself for psx games and retroarch had the best joystick settings. I can play ape escape fine when i tweak some of the joystick settings

jam joypad diagonal`s

is there anyway to make the jams d-pad go in diagonals eg for use in snes emulator or c64 emulater, it only goes up down left right. :evil:
Not really.
With so many ppc:s now supporting bluetooth I wonder why there is still no compact bluetooth gamepad on the market. Should sell like mad.
I have been using an xda with dos emulator to play prince of persia, I havent worked out how to pick up or use the sword but the diagonal seems to work, push up for up, left for go left, diagonal between up/left make him take long jumps.
I have seen the same problem as hally, tried a few games, and I have been unable to use the diagonals. Some action games are unplayable without diagonals...
If you want to play games - get yourself a gameboy.

I can run a gameby emulator
Seriously -- the Magician is a beautiful gaming machine -- why would you not play games on it?
Well... for one thing it doesn't do diagonals very well.
And even if it did, the layout of the buttons isn't really suitable for action gaming. The worst is probably the button in the middle of the d-pad which you will press by accident almost constantly. And how do you comfortably use both thumbs to control the game?
i play a bunch of games on it -- there are much more than d-pad based action games, right?
I recently played through Monkey Island for instance (using ScummVM) but the games that I most often play are Slay and Conquest.
Ok, I thought we were talking about games where interaction through the d-pad and other hardware buttons is central.
I personally use it for gaming almost daily, mostly card games like solitaire or black jack, and for this type of games it is absolutely brilliant.
This should be possible because when i push diagonal i can feel both buttons clicking. I think that some one needs to create a driver to add diagonal.
has any one seeen the zeta joypad?

d-pad for ppc mame?

i've tried a few different virtual d-pads for ppc mame (vdpad & lmt) but neither works. anyone found one that works (using an hd2) with ppc mame? also wouldn't mind knowing how to change the controller in morphgear for gba (works for snes but won't let me change it for other systems). thanks!
I'd love to know this too...
hoping to play MAME on my HD2 soon!

Emulator issues with Ouya controller

I can't seem to get any of the emulators to work with teh ouya controller. Granted I haven't edited anything in the emulators themselves, but would like to think they come pre-configured for the ouya controller since I downloaded them from the Ouya store.
N64 emulator works with the ouya controller pad, but the SNES and NES ones dont do anything. Any idea why?
You need to map your buttons in the emulator settings menus. I was playing super Mario world last night with hiccup after I did that.

Which SNES and NES emu's were you using? All the ones I've tried automatically detect the ouya controller and work with no configuration. I've only used the Robert Broglia, which I recommend his emu's over any others.

Robert Broglia? Did you sideload that Emu? I dont recall seeing that in the Ouya Store.
I have had occasional issues with the controller connecting as controller 2 even when its the only controller on the machine. Some games and programs don't seem to work properly with only the second controller connected.

Sorry i was typing quickly earlier, Robert Broglia is the name of the dev who put out a lot of the EMU"s on the OUYA. He's responsible for all of the .emu emulators (i.e. nes.emu, 2600.emu, etc.) and the Snes9x EX+ emulator.
I read on this board that Tincore Keymapper is supposed to work on the Ouya. I haven't tried it but plan on it later today.

Emulators on google tv

Anyone know if GTV has any working emulators? I tried SNESoid and snes9x they just crash

What emulators do you guys use?

I tried out mupen64 and it was pretty good, bit buggy. PPSSPP was alright. Retroarch crashes for me with Lolirock. Just wondering what you guys use to play games on it.
Been using paid version of Mupen with an original XBOX controller.. worked beautifully
Quickly tested Retroarch and worked fine for SNES games, hopefully it will be updated so it shows up on the main screen
Using stock rooted 5.1.1 Android TV on Nexus Player
snes9x and mupan, both work well. I am hopeful that someone writes a nice EMU interface for AndroidTV, that rivals my friends RetroPI.
For the Shield, I'm using FPse for Android, which has been great to be honest. I love the fact that it also looks for the game images too. Even able to use multiplayer with Crash Team Racing and two controllers.
Np
Hi, I use fpse for ps1 games, works very good. Md.emu as has the best controller setup I can find for multiplayer use and speccy. All in the game store official now
Has anyone been able to install dolphin emulator yet?
I cant i think Its because Its developed for arm64 and our device is x64?
Ps i tried Some apks without success from here: https://buildbot.dolphin-emu.org/builders/release-android
M.A.M.E.
Anyone have any luck running mame emulator on nexus player? I havent had Much luck. When I use Mame4droid most of the roms will load with a black screen but i can hear the audio. This one works on most of my other android devices.
thanks..........
The .emu emulators by Robert Broglia are the best ones available for older systems like the NES, GBC and GBA along with SNES9X EX+. For the Sony PlayStation and PSP, I recommend ePSXe and PPSSPP.
What about Sega Genesis/CD/32X stuff?
MD.emu, which is also developed by Robert Broglia, emulates the Sega consoles quite well.
Dreamcast emulator " reicast " works now on x86 systems and of course on Nexus Player. Nexus Player gamepad was recognized. You must use the debug build of this app, not the outdated Play Store app.
https://forums.dolphin-emu.org/Thread-why-there-isn-t-the-x86-64-recompiler-in-dolphin-mobile
This should be an explanation why dolphin (wii and gamecube) doesnt work on our device yet
Ps what version of ppsspp Do you guys use? I can launch it but when i start a game it doesnt work. (and what games Do work?)
Hi there how did you get this to work,been trying for days with no luck.what emulator and files did you use and where you downloaded it from,thanks
Hey guys, I have robert's emulators on my nexus player , but I'm getting bad scrolling, more so on the nes and snes, not so bad on the sega side of things. The sound hick-ups randomly on the nes emulator, is anyone else having this? I didn't have this problem with the ouya which is less powered? Just wondering is it a Marsh mellow problem etc?
