After seeing the Six Axis thread, I was thinking of getting on of those controllers to start playing some games from the past on my tab. I see in the "Working Apps" thread there are a slew of different emulators based on what console you're trying to emulate. So, question 1: Is there a emulator that is some what of a one-does-all?
Second question: Do I rely on the market for game ROMs? Or are roms one of those topics where they're illegal and I must RTFM where ever I can find them?
Third question: Are ROM formats pretty much universal? For example, if there are two different NES emulators out there, will ROMs be in a format where I can only play it on a certain emulator?
If all of this is covered, please feel free to call me an idiot, and kindly redirect me, as I didn't find anything immediately covering emulators for a 31 year old "newb" as far as emulators are concerned.
The closest to an "all in one" emulator is MAME, which can emulate a variety of 80's/90's arcade machines. Otherwise, you're looking at different emu's for each machine type.
ROMs are illegal unless you own the original, which is unlikely. You won't get any of these on the Android market but they're easily findable with a little googling.
ROM images all use universal formats appropriate to what they're emulating. All emu's will read this standardised format. A Commodore 64 game ROM will work on and Commodore 64 emulator but obviously, is different to a game ROM for a Commomdore Amiga, for example.
And don't worry, we don't call people with sensible questions, idiots.
You nailed everything on the head I was looking for. I am very fmailiar with MAME (concept of it anyways), but I always reserved to using the term MAME when talking about making your own MAME with like a full TV, PC and such... is there a "MAME app"? I'll likely go the route of a different emulator for each console, and I have access to a private site with tons of games, I just never bothered looking to see if the format was a standard. Thanks a million! I think I just got a little nerd chub. Cant wait to play Legend of Zelda again.
Hehe, there IS a MAME app for Android, should be on the market somewhere.
Emulation on Android hasn't yet reached the stability of emulation on PC's, (especially when it comes to MAME) but it's off to a good start. Search the Market for MAME4droid - its based on quite an early version of MAME, and unfortunately there are more non-working ROM's than working ones. If you're willing to just use your PC, there is an emulator frontend called Maximus Arcade which is often used in emulator cabinets. It is a frontend that has support for several different emulators, so you just need to choose the system, and then you will see your list of games. You'll need to get a different emulator for each system, then configure Maximus Arcade so it knows where to find them. Just google it, there's tons of useful documentation on the subject. I'm a bit of a self proclaimed emulation expert, so feel free to ask more questions, either here or by PM
Its been a dream of mine to one day build a mame cabinete, so maybe I'll hit you up if that ever comes to be. Thanks for the info. I may still look that up as my primary pc is an htpc already connected to my tv. Thanks!

Yeah, I know what you mean. My best friend and I are currently working on such a project. We put $35 into an older used P4 tower and $40 for a 19" CRT (supporting 2048x1536!!!) so after only $75, we've already tackled a big part of it. By the time we get some wood to build a cabinet, an X-Arcade Tankstick (look this up, it's sweet!) and a few other little things, we'll have about $500-600 invested into the cabinet, and the resale value of the complete unit would be about $300-400 more, but selling is the last thing on our minds. At this point, we've mainly worked on the software end, but it's been a lot of fun. Even after the pain and frustration of dealing with MAME (it can be quite picky), it's quite rewarding when everything finally falls together. I just can't wait to build the actual cabinet!
So, the SixAxis app only works on rooted devices, which counts me out since IO have updated to the OTA 3.2 and really don't want to bother with downgrading and all that jazz. There is another app, USB/BT Joystick, that says it works with many controllers. I really like the PS3 Dual Shocks, but the app says the wireless PS# controllers will be supported soon. The wireless joysticks have a micro USB plug for charging, but can the USB plug also be used as a wired connection?

Go to tmart.com there wired remotes are a lil over 10 dollars and ship from NY, takes about 5 days to show up.
Sweet, ordered, thanks!
OK, so after next week, I'll have the following, let me know if this setup sounds about right
- 15 foot HDMI cable: I've had this and know it works flawlessly hooked up to my receiver, so no problems here
- Ordered a wired PS3 controller from tmart.com at the suggestion of cmlucht
- Was going to try and use the USB/BT Joystick Center app to map the keys
- SNESoid app for emulation
- And a TON of SNES games
Should have my controller next Wednesday. If anyone else has no other suggestions, I should be rocking SNES games on my TV in a week. I am friggin nerdin out here.
did did you get to pick your free gift from tmart? Sometimes they give a free gift with orders, I buy all my green and blue lasers and my sons 360 stuff in there and my ps3 controller.
You got me all excited, but I just went back through all the emails I've gotten so far from tmart and did not have anything mentioning a free gift. Oh well, I'll consider the great price a gift.
Got my a500 on a stand with an HDMI cable and Xbox 360 wired controller and it works fine. portable SNES.
Ugh, didn't check my mail yesterday, and now I checked the tracking from work today and see the controller was delivered yesterday . Have to wait a few hours and check it when I take my lunch. I feel like a kid on his birthday.
Got the emulator working with the new remote, now I just gotta filter through the 4,333 roms I have to decide which to keep...

So far the remote has been pretty good. I played it for about 4 hours last night, just Zelda though. I need to find a way to mount the external_sd directory to somewhere within the /sdcard/ folder so the emulator can pick up my games.

Hello,
I have two concepts for games to be specially developed for the pocket pc platform, they're both, in my opinion, very solid concepts and most importantly they capitalize on the touch-screen interface of the ppc.
I am, by trade, a 3D artist, I've worked on a few games before and am familiar with working within polygon count restrictive environments but have never been required to do anything for ppc, not many people have apparently judging from the lack of content out there.
So my question is, can a good 3D engine be developed for the platform and how restrictive would the limitations be, also, how much more difficult (if any) is it to code for than x86 (I'm not a very good coder so I wouldn't be doing any of the programming)?
Seeing fpsece (playstation emulator) run at relatively high speed on my XDA II gives me hope, because we all know how inneficient emulation is, so surely a native renderer could achieve spectacular results?
This would be a paying job of course but I need to work out if it is viable first.
Thanks for any input you may have.
The first idea is a sword fighting game where the touchscreen controls the positioning of your character (ie; sword up, sword down, move back, jump, duck, strike forward, strike downward) in 3D using an end chain effector using an inverse kinematics chain setup.
I've seen lots of flash (macromedia) demos that achieve similar things, not in 3D, but there's no reason it can't be done, I can setup a rig in softimage that can do more or less what I'm talking about in real time.
Second idea is a 3D flight combat game on rails, going through many environments you play the gunner on a craft (not a spacecraft since it can also travel through atmosphere), I've already got a voice actor for the female pilot - she controls your flight path and you just have to handle the weapons systems (think mechwarrior 2, where you had a hugely interactive control panel; shields forward, shields aft, charge EMP, weapons selection etc.) - think miniguns blazing, targetting missiles, exciting environments to zoom through and a good story behind it. Inspirations for this one were einhander (psx) and mechwarrior 2 (pc).
I'm not going to go into too much detail on here but if I can get some programmers interested then we can really get these projects moving.
well being that doom1 2 quake 1 & 2 and dukenumem 3d and heretic and hexen have been ported to pocketpc (from pc) and run just fine
even though it dont use the special image chip from ati at all
i'd say that 3d engiens can run on pocketpc's
and made for them if one feel it's necessary
but imho then i'd never really play those kinda games with a pocketpc
and havy gaming would wear down even the most persistent screen protector dont even want to think about what it would do to a pocketpc without a screen protector
Ah, but I think the pocketpc lends itself to a unique type of game, one which the pc can't emulate (unless you buy a tablet pc I suppose), the interaction between screen and stylus really has not been exploited except in perhaps 2-3 games (ICBM and that one with the bricks, balls and paddle come to mind).
These units get heavy screen/stylus usage under any circumstances, and anyone not using a screen protector have no-one to blame but themselves. Even so, I don't think it would be as bad as even solitaire, since solitaire you're always hitting the same area of the screen, these games would have alot larger interaction area.
oooh and about an engien then try looking at this

three and a half year bump
Well, recently graphical posibilities of this platform has been pushed much farther. Even older devices with 600MHz XScale processors were capable of running Quake II at reasonable FPS without any 3D acceleration. With today's 3D accelerators level of visual quality used Quake III should be easily achieved (was possible without acceleration years ago but in low FPS).

Call of duty 2
There's a Call of Duty 2 port for the PPC. It ran reasonably well on my 400Mhz iPAQ 4155. It even had multiplayer.
Also, Descent was ported to the ppc.
Sadly after 2003's Tombraider I havent seen a better 3D game:

Thats over 5 YEARS and still no better match!
And its not because there aren't good games or better mhz machines... companies rather do silly puzzle games for ppc than a good 3D game.
And I'm refering to oficial ports, because the Quake's are obviously better.
The Yeti 3D I posted before is a very good and extremely fast engine, and its been around since 2004, why nobody uses it is beyond me.

LOL. A phone like that would just be annoying.
An easier and much less ridiculous looking option would be to have a holder integrated in to the controller so that you could mount the phone over the buttons.

It's been done. I've seen about 4 different variants of the same idea, here is one.

And here is another.
http://www.icontrolpad.com/
Additionally, just get yourself a PSP, Vita, or DS. The games are much better, and if you're going to carry around something like a ps3 controller or whatever, you might as well carry around a real gaming device.
(I used to carry a datel retro wiipad or a ps3 controller to play emulated games.....but trust me, ladies would much rather see you playing a PSP, and even that is a curse)
Seems like it would be better just to pick up an Xperia Play, no?

If you're wanting to do the mod yourself...
I'd recommend instead of "splitting" the controller (which requires additional wires, soldering, and a new enclosure for the PCB), to take the other products' idea and make a "dock-like" style.
The only thing you would need to "mod" would be to add the dock foundation near the usb port of the controller, but it must accommodate the contours of the controller and the phone. And you would need to solder a converting usb plug (from the controller usb to your phone usb, which is most likely two different kinds). That way, whenever you slide your phone into the dock part, the soldered, converted usb plug automatically fits into your phone and the controller now supports the weight of your phone.
well got my PS3 controller today, and bought the sixaxes
right now i think to get a car mount for the gnote and mod it to the controller
What you need sir, is a lot of ducktape.

Seems like the only easy way for now. Splitting a controller would be intensely boring with a nice chance of failure, need augmented vision to really solve this issue....FTW
I bought one of these, http://www.amazon.com/Breffo-Spiderpodium-Stand-iPhone-Cellphone/dp/B003O1V5CY.
I use my Photon 4G with my Sixaxis controller on the bus just about every day. I found if you bend the legs too much right where they attach to the body, they will snap, and hang loosely. But I called Breffo, sent them my Amazon receipt, and they sent me a new one, no charge.
For me, it's the best solution.
I was using this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qw_UBLt-Ckk, but it eventually broke, and it was heavy as hell. The Breffo is lighter.

Nice find! Here's some other footage I found on it.
I've had my eye on these for a couple of weeks now. I have an iPhone 4, and I must say, for gaming it sucks. I also had a Novo 7 Elf and that was OKAY. But these JXD gamepads are really awesome looking. So I've decided I'm going to get myself one. Payday is in about 3 days, not including shipping time...
For as many threads of these JXD devices as we see, it's a shame there aren't as many reviews out there. They look really interesting, but I just don't know if I'd trust the manufacturing quality.

$150 was the special pre-order price. You can still find it for $150 at other stores, but if you can afford it I'd go with the Willgoo link because they're quick to ship and offer very good after sales support.
got to get one of these, for that price anyway, shame there is no white in stock !
I received mine a couple of days ago. My honest impression of it so far is that it's an incredible piece of hardware trapped by ridiculously poor firmware coding. This thing has so much potential, but the mistakes that JXD made with the code are mind boggling. For example, the left analog and d-pad are distinct pieces of hardware, but they cannot be mapped independent of one another, and the right analog is mapped through the touch screen. And it appears that the display might be locked at 50Hz.
It would seriously benefit from the aid of some of xda CFW gurus, but the problem with that is, so far, JXD won't release the source code. A pair of users have actually made a good bit of progress improving things, tremendously so given that they're no experts and they don't have any source code to work with, over at http://boards.dingoonity.org/android-devices/jxd-s7300-fixes-firmware-roms-thread/ but it still needs more help. I would encourage anyone with the skills, time, and inclination to head over there and try to lend a hand. If people are successful in correcting JXD's mistakes, this tablet could actually be worth the price.

I have a Nook Color right now that I use for reading, how well does this do on non-game related apps? I want to get something I can play games on and emulate with but I also don't want to have to carry two devices around all time so I'm hoping to be able to use this as my eBook reader, Web browser and media player too...
Also have you (or anyone else) tried using a microSD card larger than the listed 16GB?what were your results?

I received mine yesterday. The build quality is very pleasing for the price (£98 for me) although some have mentioned problems with soldering etc internally.
There are problems with the analog sticks but they look to be resolvable. On the Dingoonity boards a couple of developers have released a very good rom that fixes a lot of the typical problems with cheap chinese tablets such as bloatware, slowdown etc.
The main problem seems to be the screen running in 50hz mode which causes stuttering in some emulators. I have played using FPSE, Mupen64, Dead Trigger, NOVA3 and they all run really well, even though the mali drivers are apparently rather out of date.
I use a 32GB SD Card and all seems fine. It's just formatted to FAT.
I have high hopes for this having owned and been thoroughly disappointed with an Archos Gamepad.
I'm interested in buying one of these they have a lot of potential. But the tablet seems too pricey for me. Have any of you guys seen the JXD S3500 or Yinlips YGP13?

Just wanted to share a couple pics of an arcade cabinet built using the ouya. This is a link to a video of neon shadow being played on it. The vid is from before we finished the control box. There are some other vids on the same channel. http://youtu.be/sRDOYn7WhJk

I just decided last night that I was going to see if it was practical to use the OUYA instead of an XP machine to power the arcade cabinet that I'm going to be building. I see now that it is. It looks great, man. What did you use for the controls and how did you make them respond to the OUYA?
Sent from my SM-G900T using XDA Premium HD app
We are currently using 2 xin-mo boards. One per player. The OUYA will recognize them as USB inputs. Just have to create your own custom file for android to load on startup. This took lots of trial and error. We have got it working with the majority of OUYA games with our gamepad. There are a very few that don't though. You can also use OUYA controllers at the same time for up to whatever amount a players the game allows. Our customer! Controls work great with emulators and with the 2 joystick config are awesome on OUYA fps games also. We just received an arduino board we are going to try to use to add more options and get 100% compatibility with all games. Even at this point there is no reason to use an actual controller unless you want to.
Started painting the cabinet. The trim should really set it off once it's installed.

We do not include any Roms with the cabinet. The OUYA comes the same as it would come out of the box except we add the files necessary for it to work with our controls and setup. It is up to the owner to put whatever games they want on it. It is their cabinet after all. We can sell just the cabinet also and it is easy enough for someone to plug their OUYA in and go. They would just have to copy a few files that would take less than a minute to do.

It is up to the owner to put whatever games they want on it. It is their cabinet after all. We can sell just the cabinet also and it is easy enough for someone to plug their OUYA in and go. They would just have to copy a few files that would take less than a minute to do.

Don't mind him, he's notorious for trolling. No sane person would think that you are actually including roms as part of the sale.
It seemed like a strange concept at first, but once I thought about it I realized the OUYA probably is the cheapest and best cpu you could build a cabinet with.
Looks pretty awesome. I built an arcade cabinet once, but stupidly did not measure the hallway/door to my room, got pissed, and smashed it to pieces. Looked cool in the garage for a while though.

This is 31.5" wide so it would be a little bit of a pain to get through a 32" door. In the future we probably won't go as deep so they will lighter and easier to get through smaller openings.
We finally found the time and got the tmolding dry fit. Just need to pull it off and then glue it back on. We decided not to do any of the stuff mentioned above to this one except for plexi on the cp and possible a vinyl wrap. The next one will have everything as we have all the parts necessary to do it. We have also built a test 4 player cp. We still need to drill the player and start button holes for each player. Just waiting on the buttons and joysticks for it. We also ordered new hardware for our 2 player cp so we can have all led buttons. The pic of the 4 player top is a mock up with the buttons just sitting in it.
That looks great man. Nice since it's just an HDTV you can always throw in a PC or game console, especially if you're using an Xbox 360 controller as input (haven't read all the details).
Our controls work great with a PC. We used a usb encoder for them. I'm pretty sure they would also work with a USB to console adapter. We haven't tested yet so can't say for sure. Maybe I'll put the kids 360 in when I have time and see how it works. For extended play on games requiring both sticks nothing can beat a controller for comfort though in my opinion. Playing new and old retro games on arcade controls is a blast. Especially having so many different gaming options all in one cabinet.
And is that just painted MDF? Because it looks fantastic in the pics. I just didn't have the patience to paint so many layers when I made my cabinet back in the day. Can't remember if I tried sealing it with glue and water or not...
It's actually just plain particle board. We sunk the screw heads and only had to sand a little. Then some spray paint and brush on polyurethane. After a few layers of poly we sanded it to a smooth surface. Doesn't take much sanding. Then some spray poly to bring back the glossy finish. The poly dries hard, almost like plastic so it's a really durable finish. It's not hard to do but takes some time.
Working on this cabinet now. Should have it done by the end of the week. Just have to decide on what graphics we're gonna go with. It only sits 23" deep so the footprint is a lot smaller. Hopefully we will have a bartop model assembled by then too. Decided to go w/ MDF on these cabs. So much nicer to work with than particle board other than the sealing process.
That's awesome dude. If I ever get the free time I'm definitely gonna have another go at it...unless I go buy the Mortal Kombat II machine that's for sale down the street.
This is amazing work!
Just waiting for the graphics.

Finished the cp.
Hey Guys and Gals
So we know the Sony Xperia Z3 features PS4 Remote play, anybody going to be grabbing one for this purpose?
It would be great to get the PS4 Remote play feature ported to other devices, lets see what our great developers can do

It's a nice feature and I do plan to pick up a PS4 in the future so it works for me.
Realistically, I probably won't use it much.... perhaps only if I really want to play my game and watch TV/streams at the same time.
I'd honestly love remote play for non games. Eg watching blu ray extras (or even just listening to commentaries). Stuff I can't really be bothered using the full home theatre for. I mean I used to use my PSP for remote playing PlayTV recordings on my ps3
Really interested in this. Hopefully someone can bring it to non Sony devices if Sony doesn't or takes it sweet time doing so.
It's pretty much the only reason I'm considering this phone. Otherwise I'd get a Vita and keep my GS4. Already have a Nyko mount on my PS4 controller (IGN/SMS, no streaming) the GS4

Let's hope Dev's help out owners of other phones so they can enjoy this feature... Sony have stated though that this is exclusive to Sony phones, the newer ones in particular and they won't be making it compatible with other handsets. You can never say never though I guess, personally I can't wait to get a Z3 when I get paid, even though I've only recently bought a Nexus 5 lol
This is the thing I own.

I own the PS4 (Destiny pack) and now the Z3. I don't know how to use remote play? Same Wi-Fi access?
By the way, someone at Sony told me that the official DualShock 4/Z3 smart clip will be released in November.

I have both the Z3 and PS4 destiny too
Unfortunately the proper PS4 remote play app has not been released yet. Yes you can use the Playstation App for second screen etc in the meantime like other smartphones but the remote play feature isn't due until november.
I see, they announced this feature but it's not available yet. Too bad :silly:
This appears to be a neutered version of Remote Play in comparison to what is offered through the Vita. I say this because it sounds as if Remote Play will only work at home on the same WiFi network as your PS4, not over the internet like the Vita's Remote Play offers? Is this true? If so, has the genius Android user base found a way to work around this yet? To me the feature is completely useless if it only works at home, if I am at home I will use my PS4 on a TV.

Why would you even think about serious gaming over 3G or 4G? - The latency will be so high it will just be too much of a lag-fest for it to be playable (I've tried with my Vita and its pants even over Wifi with my PS4 being on fibre optic internet).
The main difference here is that you can use a Dualshock 4 pad with remote play - its the main thing that put me off vita for remote play - them stupid touch buttons underneath had to be used.
As long as Sony make it work properly it will be more than worth the wait - Destiny in bed lol

Oh I am not wanting to play games online with it, just offline stuff.
@zoomee
Dont try to describe lagging, most of them dont understand.
_________________________
Im afraid we can only use this remote feature when our bootloader is locked with all drm features.
PS Vita has to less power for remote play, it lags a little, using L2 and R2 buttons suck and the screen quality is bad.
The remote play feature was my reason to buy a Z3.
As far as I know, they said the same thing about remote play on the vita. It isn't officially supported, but it works fine. No reason to think it won't be the same on the Z3.
So anybody any idea when it will become available? Just read this morning that firmware update 2.0 for the PS4 will come out on the 28th of October. Hopefully the remote play app will be released as well.
Just in case you have doubts about latency, low frame rate, etc.

That would be great, hopefully someone can confirm this soon.
Does anyone have the game control mount thingy? I ordered it from amazon on the 8th October and it's still out of stock to this day.....
I ordered one from Petra a few weeks ago when they had some in Stock. It works well
