I couldnt see a thread on this and I thought its quite interesting, especially the video where it shows angry birds working after the "Home" button is pressed, can anyone else replicate this? This could be a sign that faster moving text/images are possible with this hardware?

Well, you have to sideload a copy of Angry birds first, then try to run it. I'm not truly interested in seeing animation, as the screen does not refresh fast enough. Rather have slower games (card games, chess, checkers, backgammon).
After I get my market back, I'll try it, just for the sake of it...

Oh I agree, I dont think that anyone should expect a good playback of a fast moving game like angry birds, however like you say slower games like strategy or turn based games would be good and its mostly just interesting to see how fast the screen can actually refresh (check out the video, some of the animations actually look like an LCD screen in black and white) so I just thought it would be interesting to see what any developers could do with that
Heres an example, the pulse news app
http://www.pulse.me/
This is an excellent news aggrigator that would be fantastic on the touch, however as the app uses a few simple animations (requiring you to "swipe" along the news to find what you want) then I would imagine the nook touch screen wouldnt be able to keep up, however if a dev was able to work out how the screen refresh rate was being done higher like in the "hack" above, I had thought that would make this app usable on the touch
We can have fast moving graphics, as I've seen from the article in the e-reader site. There was no hack done. Problem is ghosting due to slow screen.
There is a connect 4 game for android, which had animations for playing the pieces (sliding down from the top), and when you use "nook STR options" (no texture, no animation, etc) it is quite playable. CPU speed for animation is no problem. That is why Eded is offering a way to undervoltage the cpu so it would use less energy, as the screen refrains from using more powerful programs (animations and things of the sort).

Funny you mention that; I have just now finished tweaking my solitaire game especially for a rooted NST! This is a special version for XDA, equivalent to my full paid app, but optimized for the NST, and in fact it will only run on the NST. It's especially good with the 1.1 firmware, which updates the display noticeably more efficiently. Here it is, if you want to give it a try.
My thanks to XDA for all the help I've gotten here over the past couple of years.
Will try by lunchtime. Thanks for that, CSX.
And BTW, I've tried angry birds, and it is kind of silly, because after you launch, you only get to see the results, not the flying bird hitting the pigs. Is that CPU or screen problem?

I think it must be the screen. The NST has an 800Mhz processor. My phone is running at 767Mhz, and Angry Birds runs okay on it.
CSX, thanks for the great game, very enjoyable, and now it is my official timewaster, besides reading

Its partly the screen, although as shown in the post at the start there is obviously something in the software that is restricting the referesh rate as well since the video shows that in "sleep" mode, the graphics are moving a lot quicker than they do normally.

Thanks for that, have made a note to install this once I get my nook touch
Slitherlink is just superb on e-ink ))))
(Can't post a link)
I found some more nice games:
Curvy (it is just gorgeous on e-ink. For two colored puzzles you have to set the second color to the middle between white and black).
NemoNemo Picross.
Droid Fish. One oft the best chess engines with a very nice sleek design, perfect for the touch ;-)
Shift. Black and White! Sadly almost unplayable without multitouch.
I want to thank everybody for your work on rooting the touch. Im working on social impact of game playing - the last hours have been a very special game experience.
Best Regards
The crossword puzzle app from the stock nook color rom works, I used titanium backup to copy it over and restore it on the str. I tried the same with soduku but no joy there, the screen size doesn't work.
@FloydF: Try Andoku.
I wasn't able to get angry birds or Rio to install.
But Angry Birds Seasons is compatible and installed and ran fine.
I just bought the Nook Tablet for my son at Barnes and nobles with a 40% off coupon.
I followed the root guide and cleaned off all the bloat and replaced with GAPPS and Go Launcher (to hide apps in the app drawer).
I quickly started copying over games from my collection off my Galaxy Nexus via WiFi Explorer.
I downloaded Angry Birds Seasons and it worked no problem. Every game I installed worked. The problem with the market is that the Nook "doesn't" have market access. We all should know the market looks at your build.prop to determine your device (Nook Tablet) and doesn't see it being supported by anything.
So what you DO see are apps with no requirements. This doesn't mean they won't work. You just have to side load them somehow. Either find the APK and side load or a restore a Titanium Backup.
It had no problem playing games. The OMAP processor is new and a good one. Its a step down of what is in the Galaxy Nexus. All the games we put on there played flawlessly.

The Nook Tablet has a dual core 1Ghz OMAP processor. Little brother to the Galaxy Nexus. Its no slouch.
I have no ides what you guys are talking about with the slow screen. Games looked no different then on my Transformer or various phones. There "maybe" some ghosting but I didn't notice anything when we played some fast paced games.
Also what's this about no multi-touch?
I think the original Nook Color had some same deal where multitouch only worked in the browser or something.
Great little unit IMO.

We're talking about the Nook Simple Touch, with the black and white e-ink display. You can't install apps on it at all without rooting it, and not everything works well on the e-ink display, because it refreshes so slowly.
Playing Angry Birds on the NST is... interesting to say the least. I found that if you hit the N button as you pull back on the bird (before releasing), you can still move the bird around. When you do release, the screen won't pause, but it will look like the bird is on fire and is leaving a massive trail behind it.
Unblock Me Free runs well on the Nook, no problems other than some ghosting, but it can be used to see where the block was previously, and when you clear the puzzle the screen refreshes entirely.
it is still slow. and you need to press home button every few seconds

Yea.
Also, that game isn't running full speed and the video shows it pretty clearly. It really stood out when you were jabbing with Ryu, but then the jumps and the like were slow-mo compared to what they should be. Also, you were throwing out medium fireballs, and
I don't doubt that your phone is runing at 50 fps, but that app isn't running that game at it's proper refresh rate.
And I'm sorry. Don't take it personal. I'm just a fighting game NUT, and play this game pretty regularly, so it's hard not to be nitpicky.
Here's hoping it gets there... and here's double hoping that someone decides to make a dreamcast emulator!

That little essay you typed out was complete bull****. The game runs perfectly. The tabbing thing is because I wasn't doing the move correctly also I'm not even sure if multi-touch works or not.
Well it is being rendered at 50 FPS. Anything after that is beyond my control.
In other words, the game is running great, and when I get my wii mote to play it, it will run well.

So... it running in slow mo is perfect?
... gotcha.
And the jab had nothing to do with you inputting it wrong. I didn't say input lag, I was talking about the animations on the screen. In that game, most jabs are between 2-4 frames, and in your video, even from eye sight it's beyond that. If you've ever even played these games before, you'd know that their arms don't just stick out for a few frames on jab. They go right back. That's why they're JABS and not medium or fierce strikes.
Anyways, game was slow. From reading the reviews, the application itself has quite a bit of work to do in general, making it especially weird that you're acting "butt hurt" over the game not running correct.
Glad you're enjoying the app., but I'm chiming in because the game obviously isn't running perfectly as stated, and it's a paid app., so false statements on it could potentially waste people's money.
But anyways yea... ummmmmm... I've said what I have to say, so, I'm just going to ignore your next troll post calling it bull****.
Sweet that they got the PS emu out finally, now they just need to get it to work with a ps3 controller and we are set.
btw, just because it tries for 50fps does not mean it is going to get it. If you watch the vid frame by frame you may be able to see if the fps drops below 15 or so

Could you make a review? Because I don't understand the game and the goals :s
The game objective is to defend the cristals from the evil creatures that were accidentally released from inside one of this crystals were the anciens had locked them a long time ago. You have to place defenses and traps in stratagic points to keep the cristal safe. You will need mana to cast this defenses, and you get it by resisting through this waves of creatures. You also can improve or upgrade this defenses. When you are ready you touch the cristal and the enemy starts the attack. If the crystal is destroyed you lose. You get weapons and armour by defeating this bad guys and by openning treasure chests... there are lot of variations and options you can try. When your hero defeat a series of waves we eventually goes to another room. By the way you can see the number and type of this creatures by stepping near the doors.

i wanna add a little tip to this great review, you can swap your hero in the build phase so you can diff types of deffence like those spike things with some kind of gun or trap behind it from one of the other hero's, also if when you swap heros you can drop the mana they have before you swap so the one you swap to can pick it up
as for apps i have found to work well

As the title mentions, touchscreen response on my A70 seems laggy or jumpy when playing AB.
Basically, when trying to do the fine adjustments to aim, the A70 wants to jump around several pixels worth of movement. (sometimes up to about 1/4 the hight of a bird) On my Nexus 1 and G-tablet I could adjust aim down to pixel sized movements.
It may be due to being close to the screens edge, but I was wondering if anyone else has noticed this. It is not a constant issue, but touchscreen response definitely seems less precise all around when playing the game. Most other apps I use do not need such fine adjustments, so I can not tell if this happens in them as well.
Edit: Downloaded a multitouch tester. (multitouch vis test) This app plots your finger with x,y cords and a visual dot. When moving slowly, both tracking methods made small jerky hops rather than following my finger smoothly. I have never had this happen with any other android device. And yes, I did try the screen calibration in settings several times.
No one else have this problem?
I have this as well... pretty annoying.

Are you in fw 2.0.71 ? I think is firmware related problem. I downgraded to 2.0.54 and have much fewer problems. And a faster a70 (z4root and SetCPU 1000mHz)
Hi there, first Message from me and first Touchscreen device...
i think it is because the wires of the touchscreen are not so close together.
When i look at them, the distance of them seem to compare to the "jumps" you mentioned.
But i have no other device to look at.
Are you using an App Killer before starting Angry Birds? I use the System Monitor to kill all unneeded applications to get at least 90 MB of free RAM before started Angry Birds and it runs very smoothly with excellent response from the touchscreen.
Bye.

Hi _nz_
Did you read the op last sentence.
"And yes, I did try the screen calibration in settings several times."
I have noticed this same issue on my 70.
Hmm, maybe I should start a poll. Try to get a rough guess at the ratio of those with and without this issue.
I also have this problem with my 101. Sometimes the game has frozen completely. I mean freeze as: the screen freezes but the game continues. I can hear the audio still. If I am firing off a bird it will freeze and I can hear the bird continue to fly and break things but can't do anything about it. I have to exit the game and then jump back in. Really annoying when you are at the last move to beat the level. :-( There doesn't seem to be any fix that works for me of the things I've tried. Very frustrating. Still love the unit though!
I don't see this issue on my 70. I'm not too good at ab though, maybe that's the reason.
I see the same issue on my 101. Hard to make fine adjustments.

This has nothing to do with the game not playing smoothly. It is about touch screen response. I have the same issue when using a 150kb multitouch visualizer app on a fresh reboot.
Its actually FPse on the market and does circles around psx4 droid .Playing fff9 full speed. Post games working full speed for reference!
Edit-
Alright this is going to be simple.
My evo-
Mikfroyo 4.4
Netarchy-toast 4.3.2
Setcpu- smart ass- overclock 1036
16gb class 4
Games tested
- Marvel vs Capcom
-FF9
-Resident evil 3
-Digimon world
FPse at its current state is not much better than early version of psx4droid v2, though it plays cutscenes great, because it struggles to emulate at full speed .
M vs C is a great example since the opening scene and player selection run full speed, but hits a wall at actual game play. In FF9 I am in Oilvert in disc three so the game play seems great . Then in RE3 THE WHOLE GAME AND EMULATOR CRASHED at the beginning cutscene of game. Digimon world started and ran great.
The controls are very well made and much more friendly to big thumbed people, the only complaint would be that you must activate through the input menu the L1L2, R1R2, select , and start buttons for landscape mode for different games.
Note also that this emulator doesn't YET stretch the image fullscreen.
Over all it will take a few updates to polish it but I am confident this developer is headed in the right direction. How this helps some one.
meh, my psp can do that
I think you just got punk'd
Edit:
Wow, great performance. I think zod just got served!

I've been using psx4droid for a while and i really like it. This one though has some serious potential. I tried street fighter alpha 3 and the first thing i noticed is how much better it looked than on psx4droid. However, it ran much slower, im not sure if i can change any settings to fix that. I was amazed by how well it ran rival schools though. Psx4droid runs it but its really slow.
Couple things i dont like about fpse though. There doesnt seem to be haptic feedback ftom button presses. I need haptic feedback.
Also, on fpse the keys arent very forgiving. What i mean is that you need to press the button precisely or it wont register, thats kind of a problem. Psx4droid registers my input even if its a little off.
I cant get start, select and the shoulder buttons in landscape mode. Thats gotta get fixed.
All in all, this emulator has some issues, but it is a first release and has some big potential.
Keep the reviews coming. I don't want to buy it because of that 15 minute window.
I downloaded it just to try it and compare it to psx4driod 1.7 and v2 and I gotta say it still needs some work fsce (wateva the spelling is) is kool but dosen't play ff9 at full speed like psx4driod does....It has potential after a few updates and the ui needs to cleaned up menus look wak to me...just my 2 cents

Had the same issue. Download Autopopstation4 and read the readme. Trying it now.
Update: Works like a charm. Tried this with Final Fantasy V, Metal Gear Disk 1, as well as Legend of Dragoon disk 1. Go nuts...
Update2: Autopopstation does not work on multi-disk eboots. Still looking into that....
Let me start off by saying that I used to use psx4droid on some previous roms and it worked fairly. Definitely not a genuine playing experience, but it worked enough to show it off a little bit. Then when I jumped ship to MIUI it stopped working, no big deal. I just stopped using it. Then I tried this and what do you know.. works like a charm. I messed around with kernels a bit to get the wiimote working and voila.. my rig:
MIUI 1.2.11
Cm snap latest (7.5?)
HW Version 003
The first thing I tried out was Crash Bandicoot. The title and intro scenes flew by at well over 100fps so I decided to turn on the framelimiter in the options. I played the first level and a half and to my almost disbelief.. solid 56-60fps constantly. Very few drops to mid-high 40s. Sure I only played a few minutes, but I was definitely impressed.
Second game I tried was Spyro. Again, runs very smooth at a constant 56-60 during gameplay. Drops during cutscenes, but the gameplay itself is flawless. Again.. incredibly surprised.
Third game.. and this is where things get a bit rough. Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver. The game itself while you run and jump around runs at 45+ fps but it's definitely playable. It's not perfect 1:1 of what I checked out on youtube, but it plays. I skipped the beginning cutscene hastily, but there are some scenes generated with the games actual engine that you can't skip. This is where it all went downhill. There is an ominous voice speaking to you as you come back as the soul reaver or something along those lines.. I couldn't make it out cause the framerate kept dropping and his voice would skip. This drove me nuts. The sound emulation is generally not great on this emulator, but this game particularly was bad.
Other stuff:
For some reason, the settings don't save for me. I have to set them every single time I start a new game. Hopefully this is not a product of my setup and of the app itself.
I was able to play full screen. I saw someone post earlier that it won't stretch to the full screen, but it seemed to play perfectly across my entire screen beautifully. Just pointing that out.
This got me so excited for gaming on my evo that I actually ordered a Classic Controller Pro from amazon.. I can see myself using my evo much more once it gets to me for gaming. Very excited!
Battery drain was insane. Literally a % a minute. Although don't take this for much as I JUST flashed the kernel and usually I do see quick drain the first day or so of usage.
EDIT: My next game will be Tekken 3 only because I remember having such a hard time emulating it on a stock hd2 about a year ago and once on my own Evo. If this emulates it nicely... well... We have a winrar on our hands.
Updating with a new post otherwise no one will see this. I tried out street fighter 3 alpha and surprisingly enough, it runs like crap. It maintains around 40 fps but unless it runs at 60 it's just not smooth enough to pull off combos and all. Tekken 3 won't play at all past the first logo, the game just crashes. It came as a bin.ecm which I renamed to just a bin to get it to with which might be the problem

Ill have to try it out. Even though actiony games are a bit of a pain it would be cool to play final fantasy and legend of legaia on my phone.

When ever you get an .ecm you need to un compress with the ecm tools - just google it . Once you download them drag and drag and drop the rom into the unecm file if I remember right and it will un compress so you can play.

So I got "The Dark Knight Rises" game from Google play. Took me quite a long time to download. But it was just the beginning of my problems. The game lags so much to the point that it freezes during gameplay and force closes. I have tried using chainfire 3D and loaded Tegra plug-in and tried playing but no joy. So after paying around $ 7.00 for this supposedly awesome game, I am not even able to play it. I can't even ask for a refund. Has anybody downloaded this game and played on our 7.7? Any suggestion on how to make it lag free? I have used System tuner Pro and killed almost all except for the required tasks. I have uninstalled so many of my favorite games and apps just so that I could play this game. I am all ear to all the suggestions for a better gameplay.
I am still using android 3.2 though my phone is rooted.

Nope. The game itself is buggy and/or not written well to support our processor. I've tried it on my sgs2 as well and same results.
