Hello All,
I was hoping if anyone can post their experiences using thier emulator apps.
Been using 'Gameboid' for a few days now. Im pretty impressed it runs the games it does. Sound syncing is not 100 percent but doable or you can even turn off your sound. I can confirm Advance Wars works VERY well and is a must have if you use the program. I am overall satisfied with it and hopefully will continue to see more compatibility with more updates.
**PLEASE DO NOT POST ANY GAME DOWNLOAD SITES AS THIS THREAD MAY BE SUBJECT TO CLOSE IF YOU DO SO... Thank you.
I use Snesoid religiously. Love it.
i use gameboid and snes emulator regulary buyed.
snes go well, you can play but without sound because it eat more resources.
gameboid go, but it's a little bit slow, and it's a problem when you play games like micro machines, mario etc because you have to take an immediately responce, and you don't have it
i use a dream with cyanogen mod 4.2.5

I turn off the sound since it is a bit laggy/buggy on my device. Overall I can recommend all of yonghzh emulators. I really like em...
i'm looking for a emu that runs classic-gameboy games like super mario land or solar striker
any recommendations?

Just got Snesoid yesterday and have used it for Link. Ill post my thoughts on it once I use it for a few days.
Theres a Genesis emulator out there too but I havent used it yet..
Hoping theres a few more people out there that can offer us more reviews on these apps.
There will NEVER be a game that will be an Android game as elaborate as a SNES, GBA and or NES one.. never.......

nes, genesis, snes, and gameboid emulators all work great, i've played quite a few games on all of them. scummvm is another great emulator (of sorts) and i've been playing return to zork, discworld series, 7th guest and beneath a steel sky with them.
still excited about gaming on this platform and it will only become better in the future.
If you like point & click games and missed out on many oldschool classic (or, wth, even want to play them again) i would recomend scumm. It works great on android device, especially if you have a trackball (kinda slugish it is, but for precise aming - priceless)
I've read about Android Arcade Emulator (capcom, neo-geo arcade games) but I'm not using it (those games where made for playing with mates - kinda hard on small device ), apparently it runs the more famous games without lag.
I also use gameboid. works great.

I just got gameboid, got the bios and everything, but when I go to play any game, it takes a second then force quits.
Im running Cyanogenmod 4.2.7.1,, or whichever is the newest one. Any help?

It depends on which game it is, its not 100 percent compatible yet. Also make sure the bios file is not compressed by any programs (ex. winrar, winzip and or power archiver)
Ive downloaded some games that force closes it as well. What I did was simply delete the game and threw another one into the SD card.
Report back and let me know your results and we can both figure out another solution if you cant play another game..
The best emulator out right now is ggNES. It runs NES games at full speed with sound on. No slow down, no errors, just perfect.
I like the xxxoid emulators, but the app author isn't making them run more efficiently, he's adding other stuff. Don't get me wrong, I'm glad he's even updating, but full speed emulation can be done, and ggNES had a free version to boot.
ggNES is a definite download and is running great on my G1.
Time to play Bionic Commando and kill me some Hitler:

Issue is, While RPGs and Tactic based games. (Yes I love advance wars) Are great on the emulators. Games like Star Sigma etc are harder.. even mario is hard. Seems action games are just harder to manage that fast paced stuff on the emulators. Anyone else notice that?
Or have they got better? Curious about the snes one tho if that runs smooth.
Edit: Just read others.. I agree I use gbaroid and nesroid and while the dev makes updates.. the speed seems to be the complaint.. but I really dont wanna buy ggnes just for speed after I paid for one.. heh..

ggNES is currently the best at playing Nes roms. Try the ggNES lite and see how it works out for you, if you like it why not buy it?
Snesoid runs good at least on my phone. Its also dependent on how many apps are using up your memory. Get Advanced Task Manager to fix that problem prior to using any emulator.
Ok Ill give it a shot. I use Taskiller pro personally. Works well I think. Unless you know something works better? Advanced Task Manager I have as well.
Maybe its decent enough to play River City Ransom. =)

There are alot of programs similar to Advanced Task Manager, yours is one of them. As long as they close unused programs it should be fine.
Hopefully you see improvement running River City with the Emulator change. Let us know how it went..

I started playing it today and it is f***ing awesome so far.
Wondering if anyone has played or tried the game as well?
It comes highly recommended
Couldnt find it on the market. But its a great game, more then willing to pay for it. If only i could....
If you see paid other apps in Market and you can't find this game, it's probably because you're running Android 1.5 and you need Android 1.6+.
im running 1.6 and i get 0 search results for zenonia in the market app, and yes i have other paid apps, on the other hand i installed it from the blapk market and it works just fine....
After a few minutes playing it, the game doesn't seem to be that great tbh. No keyboard controls, which is a huge downside for me. Plus, you already have tons of emulators on Android, what makes this better than full roms?

Give it a few more minutes itll grow on you.
The developers want to mainstream the game, not just cater to us. Most newer android phones are all touch screen remember.
This game is brand new, its not from yesteryear like the games the emulators run.
The storyline, gameplay and controls are excellent and as the reviewers have mentioned they have already been more than satisfied with the game.
Is it only me or the game is still not up on the US market? I'm using Market Enabler to access the US T-mobile Market. Can someone help me with this?
Ended up finding a dl for it, but i cant install because im running out of space? it doesnt look like im running out of space anywhere though when i check my phone's internal storage. (SD card has 7 gb free..)

found it by googling running the latest cyanogenmod on my g1. Has someone else gotten it to work from downloading elsewhere?

SEE THE GAME TRAILER HERE ---->> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BrsYbeVV0wM
Gamevil has noted (check their twitter) the problem and promises to find a workaround for it or to post it at Handango or something. For those who are support the devs, we just need a bit more patience
I'm running the latest version of CyanogenMod with an ext 2 partition on my sd card and I had no trouble installing it.
Not that far into it, but I suspect it may make a lot of bus journeys go quicker.
I think this is the 2nd best game on the G1 for people who thought Final Fantasy 6 (3 in the US) was the best of the series.
Best rpg on android! It run well on my g1
A very good RPG for the android.
I just wish the movement controls on my Droid were not so sensitive.
Gamevil has solved the problem It is now on the market. Go support Android devs people!

Reckless Racing for Android
Love this game
http://androidapproved.com/item/reckless-racing-for-android/
Looks good. I'ma check it out.
finally, an impressive looking racing game, I might pick this up
Yeah mulitplayer mode is the best...
By far one of the best examples of great graphics and physics, mostly physics. It is somewhat challenging to control but once you get the hang of it, it becomes easier.
Why can I not find this in the app store? Im dying for a good racing game.

It got pulled due to their servers being overloaded. It should be back up eventually.
This is the only game that I've seen that is truly impressive. The graphics are amazing for a mobile game (wouldn't look out of place as an xbox live arcade title). The default controls (auto accelerate with left, right and brake) are perfect. If this game came out on PC I'd play it.
I'd love to try it out, but it's not in the Market. When I found a QR code for it, I just got a "file not found" message. I even tried using Market Access. I'm willing to pay for it, but its lack of availability through mainstream channels may force me to look for it elsewhere.

If you do and you like it, please buy it when it comes back on the market. I want games like this to succeed so we get more quality games in future.
Awesome. Sucks it got pulled but I will definitely keep my eye out for it.
Sent from my Captivate
Is anyone else having problems getting online with this game?
Yup. I wasn't able to get into a server all weekend.
Single players still fun though. Great game.
Reminds me of: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=noDi1IzuotM
Found an update on the server issue: http://www.polarbit.com/2010/10/update-reckless-racing/
I hope the gameplay makes up for what Polarbit as a company lacks in class and professionalism. They posted a picture of Johnny Cash giving the middle finger on their website because people are running pirated copies. Maybe if they didn't take it off the market... I'm sure people would pay for it if they actually could. On top of that, they're basically blaming their overloaded servers on the number of pirated copies floating around, which is a bull**** cop out.
It's back on the market. Just got it.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App
And online playing is back.
Holy crap this is good... if your reading this thread, and your on the fence, buy it.

Actually, I did find one through other means, but liked the game enough that I bought it today, since I was finally able to do so. Who's to say if other people are as reputable as I. I would bet that server outage cost them a lot of sales.
I just flat out bought it because of the 24hr return policy but this game is worth it.
Bought it... haven't had much opportunity to play it yet but the minute or so I tried it looks really good.
just bought this game and it's pretty awesome with nice graphics.
So, got the the Galaxy Tab Wifi as my first Android experience, and I can't say I'm impressed. Performance issues aside, I can't find many games to work for my US P1010. Specifically I can't seem to find how to load quality titles, specifically games from EA or Gameloft, which require you to have a mobile number to get the download. I tried getting EA Games like NFS Shift from the market, but it doesn't even give me the option to install.
So fair I just have all the emulators, and Air Attack HD as games I play. I desperate need more. Any advice?

Yeah get the GSM model
I've had the opposite gaming experience. But I'm not a hardcore gamer to begin with and I'm used to EA blocking all games from my VZW device anyway so I have no desire to do business with them.
Just get them from non "official" sources if you want them that much and cant get them
You dont need a mobile number to download gameloft games, see my guide, but i have no idea which ones will work for you

Hi, this is not a new app, i use it since my XperiaPlay days. Think it's the best one of it's kind and if you like playing emulators like i do you will enjoy it too. Maybe most people already have this but for those who are new to the Android Retro Stuff this app will help you to download every game from NES to MaMe.
Btw. shouldn't be any kind of warez or so because this app is not available on the Play Store for some years now!
Ps1 version?
Oh and for everyone who loves playing Arcade Games here's a MaMe 0139 torrent, you will only need a torrent downloader app. All roms are working with Mame4droid Reloaded.
