Gaming - Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey guys, I'm getting a tablet soon... I'm kinda confused with the Nexus 7 vs iPad Mini.... I'm really sorry that I had to make this thread because I really wanna confirm few things before choosing a tablet...
Can the Nexus 7 play high end games and :
- Modern Combat 4
- Modern Combat 3
- NOVA 3
- Shadowgun : Deadzone
The following games can be smoothly and lag-less?? Sorry guys, but anyone can help me I'm really happy...

Real Racing 3 and Modern Combat 4 lagless??
Sent from my MT27i using xda app-developers app

Real Racing 3 lagless. Modern Combat 4 sometimes but not for too long.

I don't have mc4, but I can vouch for real racing 3 being smooth. Though on my nexus 7 nova 3 plays smooth also.

How you do to make nova 3 to be smooth??
Sent from my MT27i using xda app-developers app

MC4 is kinda laggy, but it's playable. MC3 isn't laggy at all. I haven't tried NOVA3, but it shouldn't lag a lot.

MC4's frame rate drops to a constant and then remains there form quite some time before speeding up again. It fluctuates. A lot.

Screw the market games. Emulators are the real reason for gaming on an Android tablet. Just get ePSXe and enjoy the plethora of amazing PSone games available. I'm playing through FFIX and Chrono Cross now.

Honestly it does. But that makes kind of more realistic. Mind you I was using a....err......you know what. The paid app should produce better results.
And chrome for android sucks big time.

Don't make your decision based on a game that will be deleted in a few months.
I would suggest making your decision based on the Os, not if one or two games lags.

Hell yea. Almost everyone console from the PlayStation 1 and Nintendo 64 down the the NES and Sega Master System is available and all work almost flawlessly. Try them out.

So, i also want to buy this device, and i was wondering cause there where a few people complaining about lag while navigatin in the menu and other things and had to factory reset to get the lag out, is that fixed already? and can i play all thd games smooth? like Horn, Ravensword, Dark meadow, glowball etc? is it easy to configure a ps3 or xbox 360 wireless controller without otg cable, i know it needs root. Oh and, do you guys think it will be able to play the newer Future games, without much lag? like deadtrigger 2, mc5, etc...

well if your this late to the nexus 7 game a new one is going to be announced soon

Yes!!!!! FF8 works on our phone

The cutscenes lag a little but, I just wanted to let you guys know. That means good things, because it was miles ahead of other PS1 games.

Is nine a little choppy too?
Very much so. It won't even play the audio on fmv's. But audio in game play is pretty solid considering how most games are choppy. Same for tactics.

Is the sound problem the emulators fault or our phones?
Like how much better can the emulator get.
All my questions ultimately lead to wanting to know how possible a PSP and Sega Dream cast / SegaSaturn/Sega Genesis emulator are.
Well the n64 emulater is on the way. When I had my g1 snes games had the sound issue. Then an update fixed it. Due to the fact that are phones are the most powerful android devices for gaming. I'm less inclined to believe its our galaxies. With this kick ass gpu and all.

Just a warning for anyone thinking of buying this game, it has push notifications.
I got 4 very annoying notifications in a row from this game at 2:30 in the morning, it also needs iap's to play properly despite costing $9.99

Damn that is poor, just the notifications is unacceptable, iap's as well is a joke for a game of this price.

A reminder: Warez are not welcome on XDA, and neither is the discussion of them or asking where to find them.
Tested it with a few kernels and it's laggy. Switched to Siyah kernel and now everything's running smooth.

n64 app: mupen64plus AE

anyone tried running nintendo64 rom emulator? i tried that n64 app: mupen64plus AE
with killerinstinct2GOLD game zip rom and it still lags! i guess 2gb ram doesn't cut it
or it might be just the app that makes it laggy(music choppy, screen flickers)
No, it's probably not a phone problem, but the app just sucks.
I recommend N64oid (google it) and sideload the app. It worked flawlessly on my old Flipside, which is a single core 720MHz and 512mb RAM.

Mupen64Plus, AE clearly states it's unstable and in beta. The dev has lots of other things going on in his life, so development has been very slow recently. Over time, it should eventually surpass N64oid (seeing as N64oid's likely been abandoned), though N64oid is currently much faster and more stable (as it was developed for much longer).
N64oid is pretty decent. I ran mario cart 64 with no lag on my captivate. As far as Mupen64plus goes, as previously stated, its still under development. A sloow, loongg and haard development.

Sry. I dont have the cappy anymore, gave it to my brother. But I did run few games on it, when I had it, like mario cart 64, star fox 64, golden eye 007 and donkey kong 64, all of them ran with little or no lag on the cappy. I would assume the N4, with its S4 Pro and the 320 gpu would be able to handle that with no problem. As far as having issues with certain roms, it could just be the rom itself. Also on the cappy, I played pokemon fire red, using gameboid, and I had 2 different roms for the same game and one of them did run better then the other. ....killerinstinct....nostalgia. good times. :highfive:
I tried playing Smash Bros on it and some characters were missing eyes, such as Mario and Yoshi..
Also the screen flickers quite a bit, messed with some of the settings a bit but it wouldn't solve it. :/

N64oid or mupen64plus?

Am I the only one who thinks mupen64 needs a lot of work

It leaves the faces off the super smash bro stars like link. Its slow on Mario 64 and laggy.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app
You should probably email the developer and ask for a refund. How much did you pay for it again?
Try using 720p instead of 1080p.
I wasn't mad at them I know its free I just hear people say how great it is I just thought I was doing something wrong.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app
Some games are just fine ,others are unplayable, I'm happy with it though. Free is free.
Sent from my HTC One using xda premium
The faces being blank in smash brothers is specific to one of the video plugins, try another one, that fixed it for me.
And for laggyness, try reducing the render resolution, this makes a big difference, the N64 isn't going to benefit from 1080p anyways
Sent from my MB860
Seems responsive enough, even on Goldeneye. But I'm displaying at 720p on my old 37" Vizio. My non-techy girlfriend is having a ball playing ZeldaoT.

I'm installing it now, I'll report back shortly.
EDIT: it runs buttery smooth just as everything else I've tried!
Asphalt 8 smooth as butter even on high,no frame drops anywhere,
modern combat 4 is fantastic too.

I don't own many PSP games but it looks like they work alright.
There were a few sound glitches on a few (this probably has more to do with emulator quality). But the phone smashes through the frames. You even get a decent amount of speed up.
