Moderators please move this thread if it is in the inappropriate place . I couldn't decide where it should be so I decided to put in general just to be safe.
As the topics suggests I would like to know the performance of various emulators for Android such as PSX4droid, NDS4droid, Tigerlabs, gba4droid etc. on the Samsung Galaxy SII. If anyone has tried any type of emulator made for android please post your opinions and evaluations below regarding its perfomance, quality, FPSetc below.
Okay Guys Confirmed Emulators working with full speed on the Samsung Galaxy SII
FPSe
n64oid
SNESoid
GameBoid
More coming soon according to developers........
FPSE (psx emulator) - Full Speed with sound. Played Crash bandicoot, and final fantasy 9
n64oid - no lag in mario kart, ocarina of time, golden eye (sound lags at loading sometimes but i think it's a defect in the emulator)

None of my friends were able to get nds4droid working.... Maybe its still doesn't support the sg2

MaBlo you played these after overclocking or before? Has overclocking shown any improvement in emulation for anybody?
where do you get n64oid from, the market?

Woah cool down sonny jim..... Yes the market if your willing to pay for it.... Pm me if your not AND if your phone is rooted.
sorry but it just pisses me off that some people on here assume that everyone is as techy as they are, I've searched in the market and can't find it. My phone is not rooted so don't think you can help me

Its not on the market anymore.
But if you search google for n64oid , you will prob find an apk and then stick that on your phones storage and install.
I dont have it so i don't know where to find it, but if you google you will definatly find it.
btw has anyone tried the sega emulator that went out of development a few months ago on the sg2? How is the emulation on that?
Thanks, I've managed to get N64oid but now struggling to find a good website to download the ROMs, anyone got any good suggestions?

Just wanted to let you guys know that the nice Experiment13 game delivered with the Xperia X2 runs fine on our HD and can be downloaded here (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=4979886&postcount=182), thanks to Ganondolf!
The only thing not working is the g-sensor support - but it's not necessary for the game to be played...
Just been playing it! At last! A decent Blackstone game!With the exception of the glitchy Extract and Need for Speed, the only games I ever found had the graphical awesomeness of Minesweeper 95.
Yeeha! Thanks Sony
I HATE rapidshare!!!
I would love to try this game out, and a couple of ROMs for that matter, but bloody Rapidshare tells me "This file can only be downloaded by becoming a Premium member"!!
God I hate them - I have been trying at different times of the day all week to get a download slot for various different ROMs, but to no avail.
Can anyone who has managed to get it either email it to me or post to a decent server, and turn my in to a
Thx

Its got some panel stuff in it too. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=4982046&postcount=244
I think this is better than Xtrakt. This is best Blackstone game so far
Game is amazing. There are missing such games: forcing to thinking a bit but still with up-to-date gfx.
Do you get vibrations and G-sensor working with this game? There are settings but doesn't work for me.

This is bloody brilliant. Best game on the HD yet. Now if we could get the g-sensor working it would be even better.
Cheers for the heads up MAMeingast

I'm pretty sure it's a driver related issue... The game comes from a completely different device from a different manufacturer. The g-sensor in the Xperia is probably in no way related to the ones we have in our HDs and is driven by a totally different driver. And since we don't have that driver on our devices, the game can't access the g-sensor data. But I have no clue how this could be fixed... I guess some genius would have to write a "fake" driver that translates the HD's g-sensor data to the interface the game wants... (I hope this makes sense... As said, I'm no expert and this is just the way I interpret the problem)
Excellent game - thank you.
Great work MAMeingast.
Working purfect on my HD.
Just a shame that the g-sensor dont work but still very playable.
I wonder why games like these are made for other devices & not the HD.
Also it would be nice if the Sony Ericsson logo could be changed to make it more HTC'ish....
Blooming Marvelous!!! By far the best game I've tried on the HD yet . I agree that the icing on the cake would be to get g-sensor. Now that would be perfect!!
Thank you so much. This game is really cool and pretty. "It's strange to have a sony ericsson logo on a Touch HD .... xD".
Thanks you again!
I'm in 4,5 level.Why i can't go to next level?
This game is AMAZINGGGG!! Thanks!!!
Gameboid emulator does not seem to run on the Galaxy S
would love to know this too....
emulators/wii mote is a real attraction to android phones for me....
Same here... Just closes when you click the rom.
You guys put the gba bios on your phone? I think gameboid needs that to run.

Yes i have done that, its when you press the rom that it just goes black and then returns to the rom selection. I have tested the snes emulator and that works fine though.
Its definitely not a bios problem, I used the same working bios I had on my Desire, its handset related.
Does the other console-emulator work?
SNESoid works.
Who knows of good snes games?
One I can name for sure is: Super Mario RPG, Kirby superstar
Who else can name an amazing title?
only got gvba running on compatible mode but this is really slow
does this mean we can play some console games on our galaxy s
All other emulators that i have tried have worked and the guy who made gameboid is trying to make it work on the galaxy s. So it shouldn't be to long before it should work.

Yong replied to a mail I sent as well. He is working on it, he send me a custom .apk but it didn't work yet.
Thanks for the update, Gameboid not working is one of very few problems I'm having with the Galaxy S.
Hi, does anyone know how split roms work in emulators?
ie roms that have disc1/disc2 etc, once u select the rom what happens when it needs to access part 2?
ps, the emulator is lightning fast i hear droid people having sluggish performances
it will automatically ask you for the 2nd disk, when the game reaches that part, no need to worry about that.
works the same way as it does in the PC
I was about to start a thread asking if it actually works on the SGS. Now all we need is a N64 emulator and I will be one happy guy
It's programs like this one where I wish we had a physical keyboard
Whats the name of the emulator?

The author claims the N64 app is better written and running very smoothly!

Try use FPSe emulator, it's much better than Psx4Doid. Here are some videos showing how FPSe works on SGSII .

(I can't use url cause i'm a new member on this forum and when i'm trying to do this i'm getting error)
Psx4Droid sucks, FPSe is really much more productivity.
PSX4droid isn't compatible with the SGS2, and some other high-end advices. Doesn't work with the Optimus 2x either. You can keep an eye on his site (http://www.zodttd.com/) and wait for the update he's "making."
Is it really necessary to have that enourmous ugly image in your signature?

Thread close by me as this is solved!
I realize it's still in beta but is everyone experiencing this with this game ?
Anyone install chainfire 3d drivers succesfully on their rooted stock rom and does that fix this problem or are we just wating for the developers to patch and update the game on the market ?
Thanks a lot
No replies and all these views huh ... awesome...

Anyone, anyone at all !!!!! Someone clarify if you are getting the same issue with this game on this phone. Other than that this phone is amazing. Best out right now IMO and who cares about the note 2 that's like having a boat in your pocket.

I tried downloading this game and got the same thing. Loading screen the it just exits.
Same deal for me man. I even tried doing the aspect ratio fix built into the phone, still no good.
