Hello, Acer Iconia tab owner here. Since we don't have 3.2 yet, I was wondering if one of you could please check if Tiger Arcade works now with the new zoom feature...it didn't use to scale correctly. Thanks!
I just tried Tiger GBC playing Final Fantasy Legend and it looks and runs fine.
I'm not running stock 3.2, though. I'm using the 2.0.1 Tiamat ROM.
That's great to hear! Did you even have to use the new zoom feature? For me, 3.1 on the Acer, the window is tiny, games run but are more like phone-sized. Also, what version number of Tiger Arcade was that? Thanks for the info!
or actually, just understood that you said GBC, so gameboy...alright, that's cool to hear as well, but Arcade (Mame) is what was causing my issue. Would you mind testing that?
I don't have Tiger: Arcade. It doesn't seem to be on the market anymore. Do you have apk and a game rom?
Scales great. I have a hard time finding roms that work on it though. The rom that I tested it with was "Mega Twins". All the scaling options worked great. What roms work for you?
That's great to hear! It was an unplayable small screen on 3.1, awesome. What version of Tiger Arcade is that?
For roms, I've used this: http://www.coolrom.com/roms/mame/
I've tried at least a few of the Metal Slugs and 1944, those at least worked good (as far as I could tell from the small screen). It supports gamepad too, so I'm looking forward to hooking this up to a tv and having a portable console =)
Thanks for testing! And ccossin - I couldn't find the site where I downloaded the apk right now, but I should have it bookmarked on my home machine. I can get back to you (or perhaps Mr Bland can say what version and where he got it from).
Edit: Oh yes, for many ROMs you need the "neogeo" rom as well. So that might be causing problems, remember to get that rom too.

Thanks for this.
You know what, I can't find the bookmark (I guess I didn't make one) and I couldn't locate it again although I tried googling a bit. Unless somebody else can point you to the right page for downloading it (they were pulled from the market), I can of course mail you the apk, if you'd like. Just PM me with your address and I'll send the apk over. Or if somebody else has the link for downloading the emulator, please share, it'd probably help others who come to this thread too.

It is version 1.4.4. I bought it from the market before it was removed. I haven't tried Googling it but you could try one of the alternative markets. Slideme, Andappstore, and a couple of others that are actually mostly warez but are good places to check for apps no longer available; Google should be able to help you.

First, the courts have repeatedly ruled that emulators are absolutely, perfectly 100% legal. There is NO grey area about this at all. Talking about emulators is not a legal issue at all.
Roms however are illegal to share or download so discussing where to get them, what torrents to get them in is not acceptable and so please absolutely no discussion of roms here.
My question relates to the Gameboy Advance and Super Nintendo emulator found here...
http://www.pocketsnes.net/ (I don't think this is the latest version but I can't find a newer version).
It's a program that lets me play backed up copies of gameboy advance and super nintendo games that I own on my mobile phone.
While the program worked perfectly fine on previous generation HTC phone, I can't get it to work here.
Could someone with some software experience please work on, or figure out what the problem is and why we can't get it running on this particular HTC phone.
It's honestly the only drawback to upgrading to the Kaiser so I would love to have it fixed.
Thank you.
The problem is more than likely to do with the much talked about video driver issues. Until an official fix is released or another way to get the video hardware running properly there's not really much that you can do. I've managed to run a SNES emulator on my Kaiser at a pace slightly slower than a snail's .
On the other hand, emulation of the original NES console games along with the Gameboy/Gameboy Color seems to work perfectly for me. Maybe give that a try if you can put up with the not-quite-so-good graphics?
Its going to play terribly because of the acceleration problems with our phones, My 6700 used to play them perfectly with out sound.. well except GBA but SNES was flawless without sound.. I just cant wait for someone with the intelligence and skills to come out with a fix for this problem, he/she should definitely become well known after that creation.
mine runs pretty smooth...i have had no problems yet
Wait, you have PocketSnes working!!! If so, could you tell me where you downloaded it from please. Thank you.
I'm 95% sure that the sourcecode for pocketsnes was released years ago.
The old program was written for Windows Mobile (the same OS we have now).
Could someone maybe recompile it in whatever language works with qualcomm processers (I have no idea how to do this but I'm hoping it can be done by some brilliant coder out there).
I will happily contribute to a paypal account for whoever can pull that off as I am sure many others will.

I've done all the market hacks and tried all the tricks but im wondering why most of the actual 3d games i want to get to show off the muscle that this great little tegra 2 tablet can flex.
it seems like the games i want on here right now "pocket legend" and "rocket bunnies" don't show up in the market and I was looking forward to "dungeon defenders"
I think there needs to be a big push of actually finding a way to get the full market that my Nexus One gets...
This is mostly why i bought the tablet, and thanks to all the great devs here we've been able to get "almost" everything working (Thanks roebeet, et all)
maybe we can make a nice thread with some different market fingerprints and post market results? (or any other suggestions)
I am currently running the latest Vegantab beta4 fyi.

Well, as the guy who has tried all the market fingerprints and build.prop stuff and wrote the thread on the "full" market fix, I can tell you with some confidence that Pocket Legends and some of the other 3d games are a known issue - I have tried changing every build.prop setting to match that of my Nexus One (which finds those apps with no problem), and there are still a handful of 3d games that will not show up. I have also found that if you change too many of the settings in build.prop, you will eventually bootloop your G Tablet because Android itself gets confused about what it's running on.
You can find my notes on the subject in my posts on my thread in this forum on Full Market Fix.
In summary - the issue seems to be more than just using a different Market Fingerprint. That does not solve the problem, though it may make a few addition or a few less items show up. Right now, by most of my metrics, we have at least 95% of the items in Market showing up.
BTW, I have seen posts stating that the work around for Pocket Legends has been to download directly from their site, though I have not done so myself.
My understanding is that the CyanogenMod ROM for G Tablet does not require the Maket Fix and has no issues with missing items in Market because of the way the ROM image is built. I think the person to ask about this is bekriebel who built CyanogenMod for G Tablet - he can explain the concept of release-keys better than I can and how Market supports it out of the box on the CM ROM.
Unfortunately, it's a bit outside of my time availability right now to work much more on this, having already spent a day or more figuring out what I figured out. But please keep me in the loop if you figure anything else out!
I just thought it would be good to have a good constructive conversation about why else it might not be working... so the build.prop isnt the thing then.
its sad that 3d games are not showing up when this device was built for 3d gaming!
Pocket legends shows up on mine. got it installed...lemme try the other one..
EDIT: Strange they arent showing up anymore. when i was on Cyanogen 6.1 i Had them showing up. then again I didnt have the new market that looks like xbox live. strange...

this is what I'm refering to its so spotty. there is this great drawing app that i purchased that id love to use on the tab called "sketchbook mobile" but its not showing up for me either.
I know there have been lots of people working on it but it would be great if we could somehow compare market search results on some of them to find the best?
also if cyanogenmod has more working downloads is there anyway that the market from cyanogenmod can be rolled into Vegantab?
Dungeon Defenders is amazing its based on the unreal engine and really shows off this hardware.
If we are patient I am sure there will be many amazing games in the future for this CPU/chipset.
I had originally intended to only use the gtab until a good windows7 tab was released but after seeing Dungeon defenders on this system I seriously doubt any windows based tab will be able to come close to this tab for some time and I am sure the cost of a system like that will be much higher.
U need to check out this game to understand what I mean.

Agreed, DD plays perfectly on the gtab. Hopefully this is just the beginning of things to come once Honeycomb is in place and developers start making apps with tablets in mind.
I'm aware that the game compatibility thread covers emulation.
But I thought I'd make a thread to specifically discuss playstation emulation.
I downloaded psx4droid 3.0.0 from the dev site, but it doesn't work on my Xoom, just closes when I open an iso, and says running in the task bar. But doesn't do anything. If you click on it, it closes.
A google search says that 3.0.1 is available, but their site seems to be down at the moment.
I tried FPse, with changing the settings. It worked. But the set to small screen doesn't stick. Have to reset it each time.
And I can't get the wii controller to work with it.
Anyone have any luck?
Found a download for psx4droid 3.0.1 from an alternate source, because zodttd still seems to be down. And the problem is the same. Assign a bios file, have 2 different ones, and then launch an iso or bin file and the app closes and a message comes up in the task bar at the bottom, if you click on it, it brings you back to iso selection.
Well im glad I'm not the only one.. thought maybe it was a bad game file
Yea, this is going to be hard for zodttd because he even stated himself on his site that he doesn't have the new latest android devices so he is doing the best he can with what he has...which to be honest I am amazed he is even still working on it after it got taken off the market.
Oh, and p.s. his site seems to be back up for now: http://www.zodttd.com/wp/
I use FPSE. In landscape, full screen with screen filtering and the enhanced sound emulation at 0 frameskip I play Mortal kombat mythologies, trilogy, and castlevania symphony of the night at full speed no problem. overclocked 1.5 ghz.
I've also got the same problem with psx4droid. I'm gonna try fpse right now.

All you have to do with FPSE and the screen size issue is tab out and tab right back in. It is a minor bug that the developer will hopefully address soon.
You will only have to do this once when loading the emulator.
Also make sure you have HLE mode disabled if you are intending to use the emulator with a proper BIOS.
FPSE isn't as polished overall as psx4droid, but I have found it to handle games a little better. I couldn't get past the first Quistis cutscene of FF8 with psx4droid but maybe this has been corrected now.
I have both psx4droid(only rom tested was metal gear solid) and fpse working on my xoom. I disabled compatibility in spare parts if that may affect it.

FPse for Android is a really solid Playstation Emulator. Its a paint to get started since the Roms arn't 4MB like N64 and Snes . But once you get through that its very enjoyable.
I also use FPse with the wiimote controller.
Makesure you set the wiimote to the active input keyboard, or it wont work in fpse.
Just checked the site and they've released 3.0.5. It specifically states it's compatible with the Xoom. I installed it and i'm trying it out now.
Yeah...still doesn't work...
fpse doesn't work for me at all...any attempt to disable HLE mode just results in a force close for the next action I attempt, and games won't run with it on either, so I'm kinda stuck. Does this happen to anyone else? I'm running fpse v0.10.39.
Edit: Actually, nevermind. I updated to 10.41 and it's great now, but I can't get that custom overlay working. What am I doing wrong...
Looks like I'm grabbing a classic controller and loading up some metal gear solid for my lunch breaks ha

Yea, version 3 doesn't work on the Xoom. However, psx4droid v2 1.1.2 works flawlessly. Ask Google for help finding it. I'm on disk 3 of Final Fantasy IX

FPSe (latest version) is running pretty smoothly on my Xoom; tested it with Final Fantasy 7, 8 and 9 and I'm getting pretty good performance .
Using 0.10.43 and BIOS scph1001
Streetfighter collection and wipeout running well. Just wish they'd boost the resolution a bit for the new tablets. Or correct me if I'm wrong but this is def lower res than a ps1, isn't it?
Sent from my MZ604 using Tapatalk
i'm not too sure about the resolution. You can turn on graphics filtering but tends to lag the crap out of some games. I think it mostly looks the way it should though. PS1 games were very jaggy, even the sprite based ones.
Maybe it's just a Rose tinted view of the past which is making me remember better graphics in wipeout? Man I must have spent a whole year of uni playing that damn game!!

Just wondering if anyone has this emulating software on their Nexus S working? I'm attempting to run the 1.2.1 version from the website and all I get is a black screen. I heard it struggles to work with Cyanogen (I'm using NSCollab) but was interested if anyone uses this?
I'm interested in playing Monkey Island on there and have the game files, but I get nothing when opening the app.
I had mine working with Sam'n'Max Hit the Road on CM 7.0.1 on an earlier flash. I haven't reinstalled it since though.
EDIT: I've reinstalled on CM 7.0.3 stable and both Sam'n'Max and Full Throttle work.
I do find the menu buttons and scrollbars a bit on the small side for a touchscreen interface, but nothing worse.
Thanks for the response. I could not get the stock apk working from the scummvm website. However someone in the forums posted an alternate apk (not sure what is different) and that works well.
Thanks
This would be awesome. I could play I Have No Mouth But I Must Scream on my phone
Sent from my Nexus S using XDA Premium App
It works on openSoju 0.2.1
Thought I'd add. This version of SCUMMVM badly needs some love from a programmer or two for UI improvements...
I tried installing and playing again and hit some snags very quickly: I can't right click with my fingers... (Or maybe I can, but there's not Android-specific documentation for SCUMMVM)
Maybe with a bluetooth mouse and keyboard, but I don't feel this is quite playable on the road yet.
Many UI elemants are pretty small for a touchscreen.
But otherwise the code seems stable and fast enough. Had a laugh watching the Sam'n'Max intro again after all these years.
Here is a gallery and video of my nook running a PSX emulator quite well. With NoRefresh and multi-touch, I can play these games.

Pretty sure it was @Deafcyclist comment that had the version number of the newest version of Fpse that worked with the NST.
My SD card got corrupted and I lost the version of Fpse that worked. Anyone remember or knows the version that works?

I never did mention which version worked. Didn't even try it out yet so I have no idea how to investigate this at the moment. Was planning on doing that around the time I recently lost my NST. So I'm now unable to even test this.

Sorry my bad. I know I found the working version number somewhere on this forum and as your comment was the only one that was deleted I thought it might of been you that posted it.
I've no experience with Ps or the emulator (not really a gamer) but a little poking around reveals that the initial flurry of posts on the subject occurred in Aug-Sep. 2012.
At that time the version of FPSe out was 0.11.25 so that narrows it down a little to that one--or earlier. It's possible, of course, that a somewhat later version might still work. The current PlayStore version claims to function with Android 2.1 and up but Google doesn't think the current app is compatible with the NST.
If I knew how the whole thing was supposed to work I'd try it out, but you might want to start with those older versions first.

Thanks for the info. But the version I had was newer. It downloaded plugins and showed game covers.
The version you posted isn't any better than psx4droid v2 1.1.2 what runs fine on the Nook.
The version I had ran PSX games on the Nook at full speed without any hiccups. psx4droid v2 1.1.2 is fine but very sluggish. The version I had of FPSe ran PSX games at full speed even with all the graphic tweaks turned on.
I am starting to think FPSe won't run because I have got rid of the PlayStore. Pretty sure it calls home to see if you have bought it.
When I was running it before on the Nook I had the PlayStore installed.
