Emulators (snes, psx, etc)

I came across this thread that hasn't been updated for over half a year but still applies.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1173601&highlight=emulator
It includes all those awesome Emulators that were removed from the market that can be found on SlideME now
a couple updates
I use DroidEmuROMGet to search and dl the roms
for CPS2 all those CAPCOM arcade games go here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1483303&highlight=cpsemu
for NeoGeo go here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1402986&highlight=cpsemu
for psx use fpse
if anyone else would like to recommend other apps, I'm all ears.
I seriously spent hours playing a bunch of games @[email protected]

Nice! Thanks for putting all of this in one place. Time to play some old school games!

No problem! I haven't looked into emulators since the mt4g days and I noticed a lot of emulators and apps to find ROMs went missing from the market. Searched and came across that goldmine. very informative and they all run smoothly, the fpse works pretty well too. only played ff9 and castlevania sotn on it so far.. buttons are kind of hard so gonna look into the sixaxis controller soon.
btw i recommend the capcom and neogeo emulator. AWESOME!

Where can I download roms for these emulators?
Edit: NM just read your whole post..

I cant figure how to make the emulator work. I've d/l some csp2 roms and can't figure how to play them. Can someone give me a quick tutorial?

you can always check the original thread.
what i do is simply download the ROM launch the emulator, search for the ROM and play.
you have to choose the actual full sized games, some are considered as "CLONES" and don't work properly. the games are usually bigger than 5mb, if one is about 1MB then i suggest finding another.. and i think the ones with the letter "u" at the end are also clones, not exactly sure.
so...
1. download rom
2. launch emulator
3. search for downloaded rom
4. insert coin and start!

From what I've read our stock rom will not allow us to use the sixaxis or wii controllers. There is a problem with the stock Samsung bluetooth stack. We can flash a CM or ASOP rom which will change the stack. However, that also removes MHL functionality as far as I know.
I'm currently using FPSE and playing some old Final Fantasy VII. Also have snesoid going.

Games that work on S3

I just wanted to know what games work for you guys. I figured most games would be supported because of Qualcomm Adreno graphics. But I tried Mass Effect: Infiltrator which just crashes, and MC3 and Nova3 just say unsupported. So I just wanted to know, what graphically good games you all have been able to get working.
Thread is now just a discussion about games on the S3.

Shadowgun works.

Asphalt 6: adrenaline tells me my device is not supported.

Need for speed
Final Defense
Front Line Commando
Most Glu games I believe, Gameloft, on the other hand, rarely works

Riptide GP is a good one. Worth buying for sure.

Nba jam works.

Has anyone tried Chanfire 3d on the US S3? It worked perfectly on my s2, but now when I install it it reboots the phone, after driver install, and the app is missing? I tried to re-install the app, but says 'incompaitable update'.???

Samurai II: Vengeance works
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using xda premium

six guns did not work.

I don't know what kind of games your looking for but Minecraft Pocket works on mine and so does Game Dev Story.

Which needs for speed works? I have shift and it wouldn't work.
Temple run, Osmos HD, and World of Goo works
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using xda premium

Max Payne does NOT work. You can move and aim but all the other controls are missing and the touch setup is grayed out. You can even bring up the menu to quit once youre in

It's BS about all these games that are not supported for the U.S. Galaxy S3. Millions of people would buy these games and so many do not even work. I have weaker device but at least it has way more high-end games for it. Either that or I can spend more money and get way more high-end games for my iPad.

If you change your build.prop file ALL games work. You simply make apps think youre on a different device....hence the gt-i9100 signature you see below when im typing this on my i747 gsiii

where's my water
maybe not the 3d uber games you were asking for, but still paid games that -do- work without modding the apks.

new version of mass effect works. version 1.0.38

Can you guys confirm if GTA works?

There is a GBA emulator in the play store. Don't know how good it is though as I've never tried it.

Gameboid is an android gba emulator. Google it.

gameboid forcecloses to the rom selection screen on our device. well at least on gingerbread it does.

VGBA (search play store) works well for me...that said I hardly ever use it, as PlayStation 1 emulator (FPse) and the RPG's of my youth absorb 99% of the time i spend gaming of a cell phone....angry birds, meh, temple run? no thanks... I rock tales of destiny 2 , Final Fantasy 8, Star Ocean second story, etc in my free time...

No it doesn't, works flawlessly on my el29 (when I had it) and on ff18, my wife has the same phone el29 and it works great. I would recommend gameboid, it's the best one I found and tried several the play store and it's still the best. The apk might be hard to find so pm and I'll send you a dropbox link if you want.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium

Yeah, Gameboid is the way to go. And the apk shouldn't be that hard to find. Just google gameboid apk. For roms I would recommend coolrom.com, has a lot of good roms and they're easy to find.

critical strike doesn't work with xbox gamepad.

Gba emulator for Galaxy SIII

Did a quick search and can see no mention of any working, so my question is does anyone know of any working emulators that aren't on the play store? (tried them all with no luck), thanks

I am apparently unable to post links, because I have never posted before. But google the following term for the guide that I used to play gameboy advance on my Galaxy S3:
"pocketgamer GBA games on Android"

Gameboid.

Wiimote Support

Have any of you been able to hook up the wiimote to this device and play any games (N64, SNES, etc.)? I can't figure how to get it going.

Then use an emulator and individually map each button to each action e.g 1=A 2=B and so on, but this is kind of advanced and I don't remember exactly a how to do it but I did eventually map the wiimote to mimic a NES gamepad and play SMB

Thanks for your reply.
Have you tried this app? Like most other Wiimote apps, it warns: "This app doesn't work on phones with HTC Sense UI and most newer Samsung phones (Galaxy S included). More info on the website." I'm assuming that the Note 10.1 2014 is one of the "newer" Samsung models.

I tried it on my old 4.1.1 tablet and it worked. May not work for the Note 10.1. I don't own one so I couldn't tell you. I would just try and see if it works. If not, I would look around for others

If u can, id recommend getting a cheap ps3 controller off craigslist or somewhere. Mapping controls for higher end Android games and emulators is a breeze.

if you use the said app you must ensure your android version is below 4.2. this is already mentioned in the app description:
Incompatibility update: Android 4.2+ is not compatible with this app. The reason for this is that Google changed an essential bluetooth component in this version of Android. We are looking for a solution.

in this case, the note 10.1 2014 is highly unlikely to work since it came preinstalled 4.3
