Slow DSOID on 1.8 OC - Nexus 7 Themes and Apps

Has anyone experienced slow DS emulation even with the 1.8 OC? I've been trying to run DSOID properly but my speed just sucks completely! I know its not the CPU since I get a 7000+ score on Quadrant, and its not the ROM. I'm using CleanROM which is stock. do you guys know what could be wrong with my setup?

What is you GPU clocked at? Also, you must remember that DSoid is still in development and you should only expect slowish speeds. Hopefully in the near future most games will be playable but not yet. Some games like Mario are very playable, so what game are you trying to play?

My GPU is clocked at 650 with fsync disabled and ondemand governor. I tried playing Pokemon Diamond and New Super Mario Bros, but both games where super slow.

The emulation engine is still a WIP. Until the dev for the app works out the best native emulation setup, most games will more than likely run that way. As the person above ,e said, the app is in very early stages. Stick with him and see how it evolves over time.

I can't get it to work at all. I load a rom and just get a white screen, even with the elite kernel.

Did you check out the app reviews? Slow for everybody right now, dsoid is a work in progress.

Dsoid is still very slow, I don't think that DS emulation will ever be up to par on the tablet market. I also doubt that Dsoid will be on the market for very long because it very clearly encourages piracy on a console that is still quite popular.

The Play store seems fine with emulators as long as you don't steal code. It's much more likely that the author will give up before making it playable. Still, I am very excited to see what DSoid can be.

[Discussion] Dungeon Defenders on the Desire!

Has anyone managed to play Dungeon Defenders flawlessly on the Desire yet? If so, HOW!!!
I personally am using supeROM HD 2.0 D2EXT which is rather fast but I still cant get the fps to stay smooth even in tablet mode and the graphics level on under 50%. Also without damage numbers.
So anyways, I'm certain I'm not the only one with this issue and was wondering what everyone else does to get it going with maybe a certain kernel or application.
ROM: SupeROM HD v.2
Kernel: HAVS Froyo Kernel V5f 1113Mhz max
SetCPU: max 1113Mhz (smartass) min 384
PS: I don't wanna use an AOSP rom to play a game =P
I get the feeling that the main issue is not which ROM you are using but the hardware from the Desire is simply not strong enough for Dungeon Defenders.
The snapdragon processor in the desire does not have a gpu capable to run dungeon defenders smoothly.
Work smooth under MIUI...

Thankfully I'm not a massive game player on my desire otherwise this fact would make me unhappy with the phone and start lusting after new hardware.
Other than the lack of GPU I think the original desire should be 'the standard' for a few years more. It does full screen flash internet and google maps with GPS, what more do these phones really need to do?
Not sure if the way forward is to have media players with built in phones/sim slots in stead of phones with medai capabilites...

Are you sure? It doesn't rub smoothly with the oxygen rom.
I think that the Miui Rom isn't much faster than oxygen

Need For Speed Most Wanted

I've played many high end Apps on my SGS2 for quite some time (IE:Shadow Gun, Modern Combat, etc) with no problem or lag whatsoever. But now a days it feels as if those same games feel rather laggy on my same phone. (Stock but rooted). I found Need For Speed Most Wanted to be rather fun but there are times where it lags very badly. Is this everyone? And if so.. How can I over clock but stay as stock as possible? A guide would be lovely. Thanks in advance

I have a few lag issues (unnoticeable). Maybe trying running an AOSP ROM like CM10 or AOKP? Also you could try the h0tcakez kernel, which also has GPU Overclock. Also trying using the CPU rendering = GPU rendering mod which helps to free up the CPU.
The adreno 220 chip in these phones is already past its prime guys. Be thankful the games even play half as well as they do.

Comments like the one above are just so pointless.. Go away .
It's true though, three GPU in or phone was nothing new when it went in in the first place... but is far from not being good enough to play these new games.
I have also been play NFS most wanted, but i have not had any of the slow Downs of lag your seeing. Granted i am on paranoid android with my CPU and GPU OC'd'... but my wife's sensation also plays it super smooth and i have her CPU undercloxked to help with battery same CPU and GPU...
The game shows incompatible on my SGH-T989 with kodoo stock 4.04 firmware.
can someone help me sort it out?
Where can I get NFS MW?

Can the (my) nexus keep up with today's game?

Hi all
i am not really a huge fan of mobile gaming but i do play them every now and then
i recently tried playing NFS most wanted and the lag ...is unbearable i did some gaming mods but it only helped in a few levels
( my governor was set to performance( 1728 ) and no apps are in the background )
so i tried another game real racing 3 and my nexus would just shut down and i am forced to remove the battery in order to start my phone which really makes me sad
so the question is can the nexus keep up with the games today? are there some mods i can do in order to play these high end game?
i am using
cm10.1 nightly with xperia skin
franco kernel
The GPU in the GN is never, nor will be, a decent performer for demanding games. Mods and tweaks will only help to an extent.
And overclocking it to 1.7 and lock it to the max freq like what you're doing right now wouldn't really help either, it would only throttle the CPU constantly down like crazy, and will affect performance. I'd say stay away (from OCing it like that, that is).
I agree gaming sux on gnex but it also sux on gslll which has quadcore , game developers just don't know how yo make a game run well on android especially Gameloft an EA for example even though our hardware is more than capable, blame the game developers which always seem to neglect android devices over apple devices, even a quad core LG Nexus 4 an Samsung galaxy Slll has lag an stutter with games so its purley the game developers fault, wouldn't matter what hardware you had they still stuff it up, best thing to do is not buy games unless you read the reviews so these developers don't make any money until they start producing what's expected.

AW: Can the (my) nexus keep up with today's game?
I agree. Huge games like real racing 3 lag on my device. I set graphics quality to low and have my cpu at 1,35 and gpu at 512 MHz but races with more than 4 cars at once suck
Anyways its not intended to be a mobile gaming console and I'm very happy with it

My Galaxy Nexus runs Real Racing 3 just fine, even on the 22 car races.
I also remember playing Most Wanted just fine as well.

[Q] How to run apps in smaller resolution?

Hi,
With HD screen and a bit weak GPU some games don't run as smooth as they could on Xperia S. Is it possible to reduce resolution on 800x480 (not the actual screen but game itself) so it would run better?
Of course it would not look sharp as it could but it would increase performance and maybe lower device heating and battery usage.
Thanks in advance!
if small apps work I wouldnt see why normal apps wouldnt but might be hard to do.

I don't know which game are you talking about but I can play any game with 0 lag. And as the above guy has said, even on my mini I could play any game quite smoothly.
BTW, wrong section.

No you cant change the resolution. And i dont see any problem playing any game with my Xperia S. Maybe you got too much apps running.
I am using SlimBean and when I play game called Vector it runs too slow OC helped a little bit but still way too slow.
Rather weird considering that Vector is 2D game (parkour).
I have plenty of RAM and other apps run smoothly. I don't play anything else.
So that's a problem related to the game, it migh not handle good the resources. But reduce the resolution could be great for decrease the battery usage.

I have played the same game on OpenSEMC, and it had the lag you're mentioning. I think it has something to do with the fact that the phone has to process two "ragdolls" (the protagonist and its chaser). When, by means of power ups, you manage to get rid of the chaser for a while, the game runs considerably faster.
So, conclution is that Vector has some not-so-good optimized CPU usage and its physics engine requires some serious power (I9300 runs this game perfectly).
Thank you for your answers folks, still though it is shame that it is not possible to lower resolution, even just for the sake of lower battery consumption and/or less heating.

[Q] Help for XP gaming only!

Let me first start off with saying that I am quite a newbie.
I know how to flash a rom and a kernel, but that´s about it.
I have recently gained new interest in my old XPlay, and is returning to it. For portable gaming purposes only. It is a nice device.
I have also been out of the loop for the past 2 years, so I have no idea where to start.
1. How is emulation on the Xperia Play faring overall? What emulators do people use for PSX-emulation nowadays? Last I was into gaming, it was FPSe that was the number 1.
2. I want to be able to run FF9 as good as possible. Can it be run from start to ending perfectly? Can someone please point me in a direction to a nice, lag-free setup (kernel/rom/emulator). I am ONLY interested in gaming. The phone will not be used for anything else.
I would be very thankful if someone could help me out. Cheers!
Try the aurora play ROM, it's probably the best one for gaming, since you aren't interested on using the xplay as a phone.
As for the emulation try fpse for ps1 games, every game should run smoothly. Also games like GTA III will run perfectly on that ROM.

Thanks.
I have just installed the EliteGamer 2.0-rom, and I still get some lag in the music/battles of FF9. Using FPSe.
I have no idea if it would run better on another emulator?

Mmh, no, I don't think you'll get much better performance with other emulators...just try to overclock a bit and see how it works. Try 1,4 GHz and if there's still lag, try 1,6 GHz but use these freq only when you need performance for gaming since your battery will be drained much faster. No-Frills CPU Control is a very good app for overclocking, look for it on the Play Store. Make sure you use the latest Lupus GB kernel for more performance.
Unfortunately the Xplay has an "ancient" hardware so don't expect miracles from it...
