[Q] N64oid on the EVO?

Just out of curiosity, has anyone tried the n64oid app on their EVO? And if so how well does it preform? I am wanting to know before I buy the app.
Thanks!

Runs fine for me.....

Runs fine for me, just a lil sound lag, but its expected.

Decent for me on LOZ:OOT. Bit laggy though.

Ive used it, but quite laggy on the game i was playing, Diddy Kong Racing. It will get better tho

I just downloaded it, and EVERY rom i've downloaded on the EVO for n64oid is Super laggy, unplayable. Anyone know why?

ive had the same problem on my evo, except for mario 64 and harvest moon 64, but otherwise all the other roms are so laggy i can barely play them, even though some of the same roms i've seen youtube videos of them running perfectly. same question as above; anybody know why?

is there the option of changing the framerate? the higher the frame rate, the smoother the game, but it takes a heavy toll on your battery, you'll be best to play while tethered to the wall via charger cable

I just bought this app as well. Downloaded Goldeneye, Mario, and Mario Kart. All games are extremely laggy. Mario kart is playable, but the on screen timer takes about 3 seconds for every second in real time. Goldeneye, which I was really looking forward to, wont even load past the pre-game animated video. Very disappointing.

I changed the frame rate in mario kart, it worked okay, but still really laggy. Goldeneye and NFL Blitz were terrible no matter what the framerate!! I thought EVOs were fast?!!! What's going on?

Our processors are fast, our GPUs are outdated though. All the cool people run Adreno 205, we're stuck at 200.
Plus, as someone noted, it'll get better. There's a lot of stuff for the developer to work out to make the programming as efficient as possible so we don't experience so much lag. If you recall, it took the guy who did SNESoid several months before he could even get Super Mario RPG to work, and even so there's still enhancements being made to make it more playable.
patience...or buy a phone with better hardware. your choice.

Its not our phone, the dev clearly states at the bottom that the app should be considered an Alpha as he has so many performance updates to push thru to get it working close to perfect on most high end phones. Just give it time.

Yes, the results posted here are actually typical of most phones right now. The Evo does have a slightly lower GPU, but that actually doesn't matter with these emulators. Someone explained that unless the emulator was using openGL, which it apparently isn't, it shouldn't matter. I don't know, I just read that.
I have tested it on two roms. Myns 2.2 RSL5, and UltimateDroid 2.5. Both with kernels that support overclocking. On the sense rom, I have to download setcpu and set it to performance. On UD, I can set it in the settings. I overclock to 1.19GHZ.
In the app I have found it doesn't really matter if sound is checked on or off. Turning up the frameskips seemed to help. My results so far are the following games play well:
Mario 64 (flawless)
Mario Kart 64 (just a little bit laggy, but very enjoyable)
Star Fox 64 (menus and videos are very choppy, but in game it's super smooth and definately worth the download)
If for nothing more than these 3 games, this was well worth $6. I would have gladly bought these for $2 each if there were available as standalones somewhere.
That being said, the developer is known for updating all the time. Star Fox is running much more smoothly now than it was when the app first was released, so already I have seen a compatibilty increase.
Expect to continue to see updates, and as they do, more games will be available.
Now, if ANYONE has some complaint about the $6 they paid, go complain somewhere else. We don't want to hear it.

Runs like bunk on the evo because of the adreno 200.
Just ran it on an epic and it works perfect with the almighty powervr. (although the rest of the phone sucks)

It has potential so I bought it. I just want to play Zelda and Mario Kart. I can't wait until the Dreamcast emulator comes out so I can play Shenmue.

if you install CM7 and over clock to 1.1ghz it runs a lot better.

How is GFX performance in JB?

Im asking since i just got my Nexus about a week ago and immediatly flashed JB stock ROM. My gripe with the Nexus before JB was the weak-ish GPU it had which made me steer away from it until JB announcement just made me get it no questions. Now im testing ShadowGun and it plays perfectly smooth and Quadrant 2D/3D benchmarks always are at or near 60fps. Since i did not have a Nexus in the ICS days, are GFX/Games better in JB or was performance the same? Because i underestimated the GPU before but its doing a great job so far in my tests... note to self: Just try the damn thing and forget the specs on paper *lesson learned

about quadrant and the 59fps.. our devices are capped at 59fps. plus, our screen resolution is larger than most other devices, more pixels to push. so, at 59fps, it still looks great, on ics and jellybean. in jellybean we did gain a few more fps, but not in quadrant. if you want, go to the the main settings, developer settings, enable force gpu rendering. things will look a bit better, in the ui especially and in apps that can use gpu rendering. the "weak" gpu is just a myth that the media has scared us with.

I'm in ICS 4.0.4 and I feel sometimes Shadowgun doen't play all that smooth... don't know if it gets better in JB... but it's not 60fps... no way...

thanks, I'll give it a try...
what about stock ICS vs. stock JB? any increase in gaming performance? or fps in nenamark?
EDIT: just ran nenamark, and got 26.6 fps...

GTA 3 Lag on S3?

i've been playing a few games on my Rogers S3. Most games play perfectly like riptide, but for some reason GTA 3 is really laggy. Is anyone else having the same problem and is there a fix for this? I thought S3s shouldnt have problems with games. BTW, im on the CM10 nightly rom.
I've tried all different settings, but there is still some lag regardless.

It's fine on my s3. I was getting tons of lag with that auto haptic feature turned on though

im using CM10 rom, and i dont think i have that feature, so it shouldnt be the problem

I'm running stock with the ktooz (I think that's hoe you spell it..) kernel OC'd to 1.65 Ghz; no lag whatsoever with pretty much any setting. There's the occasional stutter here and there but I'm assuming it's less lag than on your device. What's your setup? (Anything that you might think could be the cause)

maybe because your on cm.
or maybe gta isnt optimized for the s4 chip yet? maybe

Nah, can't be. I'm running GTA fine with the S4 chip. Must be CM..

My friends CM S3 seems to get half the scores of my stock in any benchmark we compare in. I assumed it was the beta nature of CM 10. I wold think that high end games would suffer from the drop in overall performance too.

Yep, CM still has some ground to cover with regards to video performance. Qualcomm is still releasing driver support.

Solution
Hey Guys! I found a solution for you and myself if you are experiencing this problem with stock firmware! GTA 3 was also stuttery and laggy from time to time on my S3. What I did was I turned Power Saving feature to OFF and now it works like a charm! Smooth butter gameplay with no frameskips at all. Try it and report if it works for you guys! Good luck! :victory:

Horn Adventure Game on S3 Possible?

So that new game Horn finally came out on android, and surprise it isn't on the galaxy s3. It might be one of those tegra exclusives but I'm not sure. It's supposed to have outstanding graphics and I want to see how my S3 takes it. Does anyone know a build.prop I can change the device name to so I can try out this game on the s3?

So i bought horn downloaded and installed it on my wind mobile sgh-t999v device and its not working it installs fine (after i freed up 2 gigs of space) but when i go to run it, it flashes a black screen and goes back to launcher, so right now you have nothing to really worry about i dont know what the problem could be im running freegs3 r6 with the stock wind kernel and radio ive tried gpu rendering enabled and disabled to no avail. decided ill just wait for a patch or see if any specific roms are running it, i havent upgraded to JB yet because i dont want any bugs and im pretty happy with the way this rom runs so far. anyways this is just a heads up

S3 forum... smh.

Chainfire doesn't work

The type of the NVIDIA business is one big **** for the games industry. Dead Trigger is an great example; once all GPUs were capable of running the game at the highest level with a simple modification of script, but they sold the game as possible only via Tegra 3. And now, apparently this history is repeat, but little bit more aggressive. The game only runs with Tegra 3, and superior devices.

[GAME] Vector

I found this cool parkour type addictive game, I enjoy it really much, but... is it just my phone or it lags? I'm running the latest version of 'Custom stock rom'. Can somebody try it?

I have the mini note 2 rom too, but sometimes it slows down, really slows down a lot. Like it's lagging, like the time is slow.

yeh i have "lags" as well in certain parts, but i believe its a feature , slowmotion

i had the same thing "Lag" sometimes, and its not a feature,
(You can actually buy this gadget that slows down time)
I played this on my S2 and experienced lags, on my Nexus 7, it runs fast and good...

Same here
Its the same on my S2 I think its the game no lags its in the part of the game its has to slow down but its stupid it makes the game to look like it lags

It's so annoying, you can't enjoy the game to the max with the 'lags' in it.

I've recently started playing this game and been annoyed by how it lags. I'm on a level where there's my guy, a friend and the bad guy and it lags ALL the time. Has anyone found a workaround for this?

Awesome Game
I really like the concept, as for lags it get gets harder on new levels

With the new update just change graphic sitting for less lag.

I have Neat Rom 4.3 (Jelly Bean) and i have lags also... the game graphics aren't anything so special that justifies this.... i believe that the game wasn't well programmed...

Are you having similar problems with other games? If no, then you're probably right. :cyclops:
If the lag is present for other games, it is possible that it's ROM or kernel related (governor, mali driver and etc).

Nop, Only this game. I have other game that doesn't feel so smooth, but it's justified, because it has heavy graphics: Real Racing 3. And even that game i can play it well.
Besides that, i can run all other games with no problem at all in my GS2. I can play NFS Most Wanted without problems, for example.
