How to Play Your Favorite Retro Video Games Right on Your Samsung Galaxy Note 2 - Galaxy Note II General

Mod edit: Links removed
I grew up on SNES. Super Mario, Final Fight, and Contra were just a few of my favorites, and most of my collection is still intact—all I have to do is reach under my bed and pull out all my old games. As proof, I present my original Donkey Kong Country cartridge
Now that I'm older, I don't have as much time to play my SNES as I used to. Hell, I barely have time to play my Xbox. Most of the games I play these days are on my Note 2, but no mobile game can compare to those classics collecting dust in my room.
The solution? A happy medium—I found a way to play my SNES games on my Note 2.
Through a site called, you can download all your favorite SNES games. All you have to do is head over to the site (directly from your Note 2) and click on the download box next to your game of choice.
Note: You will need to make sure your device can install third-party applications. To enable them, go to Settings -> Security -> Unknown Sources.
The game will be saved as an APK file, which can then be installed and opened with no other applications or emulators required. Each game has a built-in joystick and buttons, so you can play it with the same controls you would use on your SNES.
I've played through several games and it works pretty well. All of the functionality is there, but you have to wait until you can save the game to exit, or else all of your hard work will be gone and you'll have to start from scratch.
has hundreds of games to choose from, so head on over and find your old favorites!

PPC Games?

Heh, I find myself bored with my PPC in my pocket, so what are some good games for WM5?
the games i've got installed right now are pocket soduku and another one called warfare inc.
Warfare inc is like command and conquer if you ever played that, its cool, but i tend not to play it much until i get a screen protector because theres a lot of click and drag as well as tapping done.
Is it just me or is the selection for games on the PPC rather sparse? I had so much to choose from when I had my Sony Ericsson K790.
I tried loading some of those games on the PPC with the Midlet manager, they installed but the games wouldn't get any response from my Wizard's buttons, and then the games just freeze.
Unless I make time to encode some movies, I'm gonna be so bored with this phone...
There are many good games for ppc look here

Spb AirIslands & !PyroManiA! -
both v good graphics and pyromania to be released soon
Cocoto Kart Racer - fun
A no of free games on above site too if you search.
And of course you can have doom which plays well - 2 free versions if you google it.
Loads of free suduko games/ scrabble/chess depends what you want.
Enjoy its a good platform
If you like warcraft, there is a open source version. Search for "Wargus/Strategus".
no need to encode video to play on your PDA. orb (orb.com) will let you use your desktop as your own personal broadcast center. If you have a TV tuner card on your PC, you can even stream live TV to your PDA.
The possibilities with this PDA is endless!
There's another rather large thread on this. Please join in and share the fun.

Doubt About Pocket PC Games

A doubt, I have been set since the purchase of my HTC HD, is whether one can integrate these mophgear the gamepad to play games on the Pocket PC on HTC HD, since they do not have many buttons (bad for games ) obviously can not play these games with these conditions but is gamepad, and there is already a program for this, or you can do with the mophgear or anything ... that is my question, since it would be the milk that could do this for games like tomb raider for pocket pc, which runs perfectly on the hd, it jeje no option to handle it without ... is what I know and take a long time looking

APPS and Games not working on OUYA what version do I Need?

So when I got my Ouya first thing i Installed was Astro File Manager (which isnt very Gamepad friendly). With Astro I installed, Dead Trigger THD, Sonic Ep.2 THD, Riptide GP THD, Amazon app store, GBA.Emu, and File Manger HD. None of the THD Games work. I got them from my Asus Transformer Prime. The THD apks worked on my Prime but not on my OUYA (most wont even start up, Riptide freezes at title). The Amazon app store and GBA.emu work great, but File Manager wont even start up either.
I mentioning this apps/games because others on XDA/Ouya Forums seem to have them working.
What versions are you using and did you install them differently??
Please let me know. Thanks
Also are any Gameloft games working on the Ouya?
Open Source File Explorer (Game Pad Friendly): http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=39772628
For emulation Retro Arch: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.retroarch&hl=en
As for THD or Gameloft games I doubt any of those will be working anytime soon with out any heavy modification

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Actually they're dozen of posts/threads where people have most THD (Tegra HD) games working. Ouya being a tegra 3 device should allow the ones that have controller mapping abilities and that aren't connect to the play store work.
I'm just asking if those people can share what versions of the game apk their using.
Thx

Succesfully Sideloaded Apps/Games

I recieved my MOJO on Jan 3rd, and like all of you I was pretty let down by the amount of Play Store compatible games. Anyways, I've spent hours sideloading games as directed by MadCatz until more games become available. Honestly I've had little luck but I figured I post a thread here where we can share our experiences. The way I've been doing it is backing up my APK's with Titanium, then moving the APK and .obb files over to the MOJO - Installing the APK first, then moving the .obb file(s) before opening it. Keep in mind I own all of these games, I haven't been using a 3rd party to rip the games from the net so I can't tell you if that works.
Successful Apps:
Chaos Rings
Chaos Rings Omega
Blood Sword THD
I've also been trying to use Aptoide now, but haven't gotten any other games to work through that.
The only other games I've tried so far with no avail are:
Modern Combat 4 (Actually loads, Controller Somewhat works but missing some key controls in Gamesmart mode which make it unplayable)
Asphalt 8: Airborne (License Check Fail)
Final Fantasy III (Requires Further Download, Closes)
Chrono Trigger (Requires Further Download, Closes)
Asphalt 7
EDIT:
Having some luck with aptoide, all working great with full controller support! So far here are some successful ones I've gotten to work:
Shadowgun
Expendable Rearmed
Dungeon Hunter 4
ARMA Tactics
Dead on Arrival 2

List of Android games (+ sideload) on ShieldTV

I am looking for a place to see the list of all android games (+ sideload) working on this nVidia Shield TV. Is there any site or place to see this list?
So I tried some games Angry Birds Go & Table Top Racing and it seems I cant get to play those without mouse. :crying: Any other options out there?
you could install droidmote and play those games with the shield remote if you like
Better is you install the Full Android Rom and you can act with the shield like a normal PC. No need for sideload and with DroidMote or Bluetooth Mouse everything should work
then you need mouse and keyboard
For playing games a mouse is good and you can also use the controller tethered to the mobile or buy a 3rd party controller
nobody has answered to your question, and unfortunately I can't either.
as I'm looking for an answer myself.
some gamepad games will work sideloaded, some wont.
I reckon we should start building a list here.
I start with
Portal
Half life 2
Never Alone - sideloaded (amazing game!)
Riptide GP 2 Sideloaded
Star Wars Knights of the old Republic
(Tried but failed, could be my apks though)
Breakneck - white screen after starting
Injustice Gods among us - black screen, crashes the shield
That's the only you can do by try and error. When I will get my TV back from repair I will also test some games and report here
Never alone, works great sideloaded
Thanks for list mate.
freemulator is compiling a list on the games that work via emulator.
