no one interested in this !!

im not interested

After I get my Arc S I'm thinking of buying one.
did you tried it?

IMHO the make or break feature will be whether or not games can 'see' this controller as an Xperia Play pad. I know some games developers are now supporting some USB gamepads, but compared with the optimized Play titles these will always be relatively few and far between.
Fructel have taken the approach of contacting games developers and asking them to support their pad. In my view, this is a mistake (unless of course the Gametel REALLY takes off, and there are as many out there as Xperia Play owners). What they should have done is taken the Play's controller interface as a de-facto standard, and simply made theirs compatible with it. I'm still hoping this might become possible with 3rd party tools.

Anyone tried this?? Its still only available in UK !!!

But then you have the problem of not being able to install "Play only" games.

I think it's a lot better to use a PS3 sixaxis controller. (Cheaper and better control!)
Search for sixaxis in market and download the app. Root is required though!

bought this game yesterday evening on my sgs3 and downloaded the whole 1,8gb just to see that it, well, just doesn't start.
yeah. maybe i should have read more blogposts about horn just working on tegra atm. but seriously, why the hell can I purchase a game on my phone, that actually isn't supported?

It's not about the money cause I can't return it @play store. It just really pisses me off, that I can purchase a game ON MY PHONE that ist listed compatible, but just is not.
I saw the graphics, mind blowing. I really want to play it.

you were lucky enough to purchase it. I cant even do that. See one of these threads. there are a lot of workarounds to play tegra/THD games on exynos/mali based chipsets. you might be able to play

Google still should refund you if you ask. Chainfire 3D might work but you won't get tegra3 visuals and it doesn't work on Jelly Bean.

I have been playing on my Nexus 7 and it is boss.
Seems crazy to me though that you would release a premuim game but not on the most popular high end handset out there. Mental.
I'm sure that economics will dictate an S3 version will come out soon, especially isf the S3 continues to sell units by the Metric Shedload!

Been following this gamepad since hearing about it a few months ago called the Playpad from Nyko. It's getting released on the 1st of October for $40 on Amazon. The Playpad is Bluetooth connectable, looks really slick coming in black or white, and comes with a carrying case which holds the controller along with a nice dock they give you with it. It features "dual analog stick, d-pad, 4 face buttons, left and right dual shoulder/trigger buttons". They also provide a free application in the Play Store that gives a list of great titles to use the Playpad with.

do we know if it will support N64, SuperNES, NES, DroidEmu emulator apps?

From the website...
For expanded compatibility, the PlayPad works with Nyko’s free Android app, called Playground, to provide backwards compatibility for the PlayPad Pro with legacy tablet titles, including those that currently utilize keyboard mapping, touch mapping and mouse support. Playground provides profile management for customized control schemes, as well as pre-set profiles for top selling and popular games. The PlayPad Pro works with any Android 3.0 device or higher with Bluetooth.

Can't wait to get my hands on one of these but can't find anywhere to pre-order it in the UK apart from Sainsburys and it's ridiculously overpriced at £39.99
Is there like a way to mount the phone to this? If not then I see no real benefit of using this over a PS3 controller.
I got mine in a bit early and wrote a quick summation of my thoughts here:

Yes you can use with emulators

Viiwok Deva HMD - Mobile Gaming

Hi,
My name is Dragos and I'm the founder and senior designer of Viiwok, a startup which builds VR adapters and controllers.
More specifically we're currently in the final testing rounds of the first mobile HMD in the world. It's basically a hybrid tablet adapter with integrated, discrete headtracking sensors (as in not using the tablet's gyro/accelerometer sensors).
What it does is letting you slide in any 7" tablet and wirelessly displaying stereographic 3D video feed from the computer. It's basically a mobile Oculus Rift and a future proof product as well, since we're not constrained of resolution and hardware issues - because you can always use the latest and most powerful tablet at your disposal. The headtracking has basically zero latency and the FOV is about 120 degrees, using specially designed aspheric lenses with a 2" diameter for each eye. Besides native 3D support in certain titles (Crytek titles made with Cryengine, DOOM 3 BFG, etc.), we can also use TriDef for realtime side-by-side 3D rendering of currently unsupported games.
While gaming is our main scope, the HMD could be also used for virtual tourism and landscaping, in medicine (disabled or severely handicapped persons) or CAD design. Our next project to be launched is an omnidirectional treadmill which detects your body movements in real time (walking, jumping, crouching), much like a Kinnect, but without the back-facing and latency constraints.
Right now we're using Gamepad THD and Kainy for the video feed, but also Limelight for native Shield streaming ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2505510&page=15 ) while also developing our own video streaming solution in house.
REMOVED
Here are a couple of pictures with the 3D printed prototype. Of course, the final design will be much more streamlined and ergonomic.

1. It's completely mobile, no cables dangling around you.
2. It's future proof, whatever tablet you'll buy in the future it's going to be more powerful than the Oculus Rift. Powerful GPU, HD resolution, etc. You don't need to buy a special device in order to play, almost everyone has a tablet these days so you don't need to invest separately.
3. It's interchangeable with other tablets, so you can share it with your friends.
4. Price MOD EDIT: Discussion of pricing would be an advertisement which is not allowed on XDA
5. Because competition is healthy, especially in VR, and especially at this incipient stage. More indie producers, more views on the subject, more interest, more money pouring in. Oculus Rift was a simple ideea, like ours, at first, and look how far they reached.
6. Because you'll make us happy this Christmas :angel:

Best PS1 Emulators

Best PS1 Emulators
Sometimes you’ve just got to revisit the classics. There’s nothing quite like exploring the nostalgic memories of your youth like watching old TV shows, playing old games, eating candies and being really really sad. That’s probably the part that sticks out the most to me. I was so sad. One thing that always brightened up my day was when I fired up my secret PS1 that I stole from my neighbor. The images from the classic games are burned into my mind like my Dad’s cigarettes are burned into my neck.
While my PS1 Has long been dead, I can still enjoy my favorite PS1 games on my Android device using an emulator. When searching on the Google Play store, you’ll find hundreds of different options when it comes to emulators. You can skip searching around because I’ve put together the best PS1 emulators in the entire world.
ePSXe
You may already be familiar with ePSXe because it has existed as a PC application for quite some time. This app has a crap ton of features like split screen mode, virtual touchscreen pad support, hardware buttons mapping and analog sticks. If you want to use your own controller, ePSXe is compatible with most Android Bluetooth an USB controllers.

FPse
FPse has the smoothest performance when emulating your games. The best feature about this app is that you can play multiplayer with four of your favorite chaps using their phones as controllers while a separate devices acts as your screen.
Aside from this, the app comes with more features than you’ll ever need. Some really cool ones are Google Cardboard support, cheat code search engine, force feedback and compatibility with basically every controller under the sun.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.emulator.fpse
ClassicBoy
ClassicBoy is actually an emulator for 8 different systems. If you’re planning on playing other games in addition to you PS1 stuff, then you’ll probably end up getting this one. Unlike the previous two options, ClassicBoy is free with some in-app purchases.
This emulator will work with your PS1, N64, GBA, GB, GBC, NES, Sega Genesis and SNK NeoGeo games. It is one of the most popular emulators with over 1,000,000 downloads.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.portableandroid.classicboyLite
Did I miss anything? Comment which emulator your use for your PS1 games.
Requirements
Maybe you should detail the requirements. I doubt I can play PS1 with my old S8500

I'm going to be completely honest here. I have never played anything on an NES... hell I've never even seen an NES. You see, my parents had strict rules about video games in my house. We weren't allowed to have any gaming consoles because Satan used them as vessels to possess young children and turn them away from God.
This makes sense, but sometimes I do get a bit curious about what I missed out on as a kid. I'm not curious enough to buy an NES on ebay but I can load some games on my Android using an NES ROM. It's very easy to do and it's a great way to play some old games. I'll show you how.

Best Emulators​NES Emulator - 64In1
NES Emulator is great because it comes preloaded with 64 of the best classic NES games. If you're just wanting to play that game with the jumping pizza maker guy, you can skip having to load in external ROMs and just play the preloaded games.
Download NES Emulator - 64In1 From Play store
Nostalgia.NES
Nostalgia.NES is the best emulator that I've found to run your local ROMs. When you launch the app it will quickly search your device for compatible games. You will see a list of the games you have on your phone and all you have to do is select one to start playing. It's a very fast and stable emulator.
Download Nostalgia.NES From Play store
NES ROMs​NES ROMS are what you'll be looking for to load your favorite games into an emulator. These ROMs are tiny in size so they wont take up much space on your device. There are several different websites to find these game files but just make sure that you're downloading them legally..
[/CENTER]
So there you have it. Easy right? Now you can play that game with the jumping red man and the plants or whatever, right on your android phone. It's also a great way to trick your friends with a Halloween style prank! HO HO HO!
But how
Good to know
But I don't understand how you can play with a touch screen!

Yes I know. But I'm used to a true D-pad.
Maybe I have an old smartphone but I don't find it very practical.

Yeah it seems like this is the best if you don't mind paying $3.99. But going by the reviews, it looks like it's the best Emulator on the Play store.
