i would like everyone to share your experience with android apps which work on our devices.
i want to start with news on "Angry Birds" game - its latest version (1.4.2) works correctly on blackstone (previous builds failed to launch), but instead of gameplay you'll get an awful slideshow. but maybe it will be more or less playable on OCed devices. please try it. fyi, i've run the game under kenia's eclair build.
also, i'd like to say that one of the most popular iphone games - doodle jump - works like a charm on blackstone.
you can download both games from market for free.
anyone succeeded at wifi tethering? i've tried this app, but it gives error
Same problem here with tethering apps, i tried many without luck..-(

I'm having a problem with psx4droid.
I'm unsure if this is the improper place for this thread, so please inform me if it is so and I will take necessary actions (if any are necessary).
What i'm using:
Model: Android Transform (SPH-M920)
Firmware version: 2.1-update1
If there are any other specs that are required for diagnosis and the solution to my problem, then please inquire!*
My problem:
I have downloaded and installed psx4droid v1.1 and BIOS file schp1001.bin, uploaded Final Fantasy VII .bin ROM and am having an issue loading the game.
As soon as I tap on the Final Fantasy VII Disc 1.bin, I am brought to a black screen where it then takes me back to the "select ROM" screen and doesn't load the game.
What i've tried:
I've tried re-installing psx4droid using online tutorials, downloading and installing new bios files, re-uploading newly created FFVII .bin files, uploading and trying FFVII.pbp (eBOOT) and .img files, changing and messing around with the psx4droid settings, changing and messing around with my phones settings, closing out applications that may be interfering with psx4droid/FFVII, and everything else that I can think of.
Now I am at a loss, I don't know what to do. This should be working, according to the description of psx4droid in the market place.
I hope someone can help me find a solution to this problem soon.
Thanks all!
Well this really isn't a answer to your problem persay. But I too am having the same issue. My FFVII worked fine with the earlier psx4droid releases. However, when the latest release of 1.1 came out a day or so ago my FFVII quit working the same as yours. I would say it might be the release over anything else you tried. I went back to the last release that worked fine of psx4droid 1.0.9, which everything now runs fine on. I also noticed the latest release of psx4droid drops ALOT of framerates from the games I did get to work with it. In my opinion 1.1 is a bad release and creates more problems then I believe it fixed. I'd google 1.0.9 and upload the .apk onto your system and hopefully that version will work just fine for you.
Can't find a version of 1.0.9 anywhere. Think I could help finding this?
Hope the admins/mods won't mind us posting a link to help more people in the future
Ok, I found a download link for this version at a place called mediafire.
This will be your code at the end of the link placed in your browser: ?sh9f0ww7dzbuzgo
Alright, I've "updated" to v1.0.9 and it appears that things are doing better; but my only problem now is that when I launch the game (FFVII.bin) it just goes to a blank, black screen. I'm almost there, I can feel it!
Any ideas on what to do with the black screen?
I usually d/l my psx roms from doperoms.com. they always seem to be of good quality. Maybe try that next. Also, what device are you running psx on?
These version numbers seem to suggest you're pirating old versions and not obtaining the latest from the market....

Hardly, I paid for my copy. However the latest release of psx4droid in my opinion is garbage so thanks to titanium backup I restored my previous version.

The way I see it is he's basically downloading a backup .exe file to an earlier version, because the dev guys didn't care enough to leave any download links to those. Which, is legal, might I add
I paid for a program that doesn't work with the newest version, so i'm going to downgrade to the version that works!
Have you tried compressing your games w/ IceTea v1.3?
This has helped me run games that wouldn't run in a .bin format.
It's annoying that extra steps are needed but it also reduces the file size by a lot!!
This 'cyanogenmod 7 RC' ROM is Great! all things Considering.(don't really care bout 4G, and full HDMI Support coming soon) i haven't ran into any major mechanical issue/s (Thus-far) but i did ran into some minor Malfunctions but were easily corrected i.e. voice recognition, WiFi connections,inaccurate GPS location,etc..
But there is one issue that I've notice that i find kinda strange...
after i have updated from 'CM6.1.2-STABLE' ROM to 'CM7-RC' ROM, thanks to ROM Manager's 'OTA' Update
it have seem to have lost the ability to play Emulators of ALL kinds(gba-Snes-psx4droid,etc)
My known problem i am experiencing is "As soon as I tap on the Game, with a .bin ext(or of any ext), I am brought to a black screen-- then takes me back to the "select ROM" screen again and doesn't load the game.
i have done many things to had try repair this issue, like:
-Re-installing ROM w/ wipe cache,
-Installed other versions of the Emu's.
i have searched (google'd) for others like me that are experiencing this on 'cyanogenmod 7 RC' ROM. but sadly, non where found...
Problem with PSX4DROID?
Solution: Get Fpse for Android and forget about that P.O.S.
I can say Fpse works amazingly well, it's a emulator that's actually worth the money
I started playing GT2 and FFVIII again when I'm on the go and both work just like on the PS1, loading times are faster then on the actual PS1
I was wondering, before I buy this great app, will it work for the new phones running gingerbread?
Reason I ask is because I just updated my phone to android 2.3.2(Gingerbread) and now ALL my emulators (including PSX4DROID) are non-fuctional. And also, those it support wii controllers or any other type input controllers?

Here's Android Market link: https://market.android.com/details?id=com.emulator.fpse
It shows that it supports 2.2 and up so it could work, that's interesting how all your emulators stopped working.
So my phone is now unlocked and i followed everything in the activation guide except calling Microsoft for the activation code yet.
and I managed to download some apps through my laptop and installed to my phone and worked
but i tried 2 games which were "the Harvest" and "Twin Blades" and they don't work
but also i installed a LG game which worked fine
so i was wondering if this is because i still didn't activate live services or the HD2 isn't capable of playing WP7 games after all ??
Thanx in advance

Hi
I installed "Twin Blades" trial from the market (activated) and it worked fine.
I tried installing "Harvest" through my computer, like how you did it (I think)it installed, but didn't open/run.
I then tried installing Harvest trial again, but this time using the market, and it worked fine.
There might be a difference between the trial versions and full versions (in terms of installing / running), but I haven't tried purchasing any games yet.
Some xbox live titles work when you install it through desktop. So it's just a hit or miss when trying out apps that way. Either way, it is recommended to get an activation code to get the full WP7 experience.
I believe you used WP7 3MktPlace to download the games. Am I right? In this case you just have to wait for the vbguy (the creator of 3MktPlace) to update the software. He already found a way to make an automated patch for XBL games. (games other than Xbox LIVE games should work fine with current software)

yes exactly i downloaded using 3mktplace then installed using tom xap installer
so the only limitation from not activating the code will be using xbox live accounts or signing in to windows live accounts only?
and could u plz tell me more about this update??
also, is 3mktplace the only way yet to get apps and games other than the built in market place?
Thanx in advance
yes the only limitations are not being able to access windows live (includes x box live, live accounts) and marketplace.
3mrktplace isn't the only other way, there is another one, can't remember it but i think it's on xda.
Im sorry, Im afraid that I cant be more helpful in this matter. I don't know much about the updates except what I read in his blog. All I know is, in his latest blog entry he wrote that he already found a way to fix all those XBL games and he will integrate this new patch in new version of 3MrktPlace (v0.5). I think we should sit tight and wait for the updates, it wont take long
I only use 3MrktPlace btw, so I dont know about the other stuff. I browse the marketplace apps through zune, and I'll download apps through 3MrktPlace.
oh btw ahmedsalem89 : Get the activation code. Just call them. It's worth the try.
Thanx
I will Call them as soon as I'm sure that I'll be sticking with WinPhone 7 and not returning to android at least for a while
ok i've found a game i realy want on the android market (stupid zombies) did a search but no luck.
so i use the online market https://market.android.com/ and found it however can not install as my phone is not reconized.
so search here on xda and found
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=983853
Try'd to install but half way through the phone reset
Next thought was to update the market got an APK file from
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=869964 but aways came up with an error
so now i ask for a helping hand
and ideas would be appreciated
so i played with another phone today (desire HD) and found that are beloved phones are missing quite a few games/apps
i held both phones side by side scrolling though the market and noticed that 1 in 8 were missing
still unsure if it has enything to do the market update or a phone compatibility issue
i believe results are filtered for device compatibility. like on windows mobile marketplace, where you'd receive more results with an old blueangel than with a blackstone, as there were more qvga apps and ones that require a physical keyboard.
when it comes to the desire hd vs. the blackstone, the issue could be the blackstone's lack of multi touch for example. maybe there are some exclusive apps, that wouldn't work without it and to minimize the risk of people buying an incompatible app, they get filtered out in advance.
So I got an Iconia today and I;m trying to put it through its paces. SNES emulation works fine but I'm having a war of a time getting PS1 emulation to work. I've got both PSX4Droid and FPse on this thing. I've got the playstaion bios and a .bin image of Tekken 3 that I ripped.
psx4droid won't run the game at all. The controls show up but then it immediately shows "unexpected error..." message.
FPse will actually run the game but the onscreen controlls wont respond. If I "Eject" the game it'll go to the Title screen and I can control up and down but nothing else.
I've seen posts stating that people have gotten PSX emulation to work on this, but none that detail just how. Any help in this recard would be greatly appreciated as I've only got 2 weeks to decide if I'm keeping this thing.
Edit(I have FPse working somewhat?: Ok I did some more poking around and I think I have something here. Looks like it was a matter of the start button not showing up on screen. Turning it to portrait got all the controls on screen and it actually was responding to the button presses. In order to get it to run smoothly I had to crank up frame skip but it'd showing 60fps. Does that even make sense?
I had all these same problems so i fell back on my old computer repair days experience. Some times newer is not always better ... I couldnt get any of the newer versions of psx4droid to run or even load games right. so afetr some digging i found the maker of psx4droid for a short while made one he called psx4droidv2 but for what ever reason he does not have it on his site. so I just googled it what your looking for is psx4droidv2 1.1.2 you just instal it like normal and put the bios files and game files all in same folder and I am up and running like a champ on my iconia everything loads and works. it even lets me do away with on screen controls and use my ps3 controller to play the games, you just have to map the buttons but is easy.
Hope this helps if so give me thanks.

Well it runs with is more than I can say for the first version of psx4droid that I'd downloaded. Unfortunately It doesn't seem to run at a solid frame rate. Also the screen scales too skinny.
That kind of settings do you have yours set to?
On another note, I've gotten FPse running at a consistent frame rate but there seems to be some games that simply won't play with it (Megaman Legends 2).
So far, I have observed that few games are not working on MK-808. Few such games not working are temple run, bad piggies, talking tom, silibili etc.
As per my understanding, many games are configured such that it requires larger touch to operate than mouse courser can provide. Hence, these games are not able to take input with mouse.
Can someone find solution?
Yesterday tried pitfall and same issue....
I am not developer / software guy...so don't know how to fix it myself...
In droidmote, this issue is resolved by increasing pointer size...
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VT6bAMUUWg0
I don't want to use my android mobile as mouse...
I want someone patch this feature in default ROM or make some app, so that I can use my RC12 mouse to operate these games...
So far, I have found this stick fantastic except only this issue which is creating game compatibility issue...
I believe it's serious issue but should not be very difficult to resolve...as already done in droidmote app
Problem game MK808B
Hello, I have the same problem. Please anybody, how to fix problem.
Thanks.
You would have to ask each developer to update their app to support other input methods besides touch screens.

Don't sweat the simple stuff. You had to obviously know that some games just won't be playable without a touchscreen.
With the rise of Android sticks and Ouya coming... controller support will become the norm. Remember official controller support only JUST started to become mainstream (even though some of us have been doing it for years).
Sent from my Nexus 7 using XDA Premium HD app
The best games for such devices are One-Button games
on my Equiso, i play Canabalt and Jetpack Joyride. these two awesome games need only one button to control the actions. or games that doesn't require multi-touch the whole time, i play also Tapped Out (the simpsons game) and it works flawlessly. just stay away from arcade games like where you need to get moving and jumping and shooting at the same time.
i'm always searching for new ones and it's not easy.
hi
I have installed the finless 1.7 and bad piggies works well with the rktools app on my tablet or S3 to control my android tv. Also other games (in particular mame and n64oid) work superb with a wired xbox controller.
Only game i have had issues with is templerun 3 - i cant seem to get the gyro to work . Annoying but not the end of the world
I have read good thing about droidmote - i might buy that to see if that is any better.

You mean you have installed Finless 1.7 ROM on MK-808, because I PM finless and he said he requires lots of work to solve this issue so he has not planned to take care this issue.
If his own 1.7 ROM automatically resolves this matter, he should be aware of it.
Also, does it work without rktools, I mean with mouse?
One more question,
1.7 is not meant for MK-808 device. So, is it OK to use it?
<Edit>
It is the RKRemoteControl that is making possible to play games and not ROM.
Some update here
http://www.freaktab.com/showthread....on-SS808-(MK808)&p=52013&viewfull=1#post52013
Hi,
Mine is a cheap one that i got off ebay. i think it is mk809 or ug802. But it works well with XBMC (SD only) and a ton of emulator games that i have tried.
The RKRemote app is bundled with the finless 1.7 package. This remote app does not work on the standard rom and neither does the xbox controller. But both remote app and controller work really well on the finless rom. Still struggling to get gyro working though.
