Moga Pro - The Best Way to Game on Mobile - one - One (M7) Accessories

So after i gave away my smaller moga controller in a giveaway(winner will be announced July 5th) i decided to order the moga pro and give my perspective on it. this controller is a must have for hardcore mobile gamers, especially with console like quality games releasing everyday. This controller only retails for $49.99 so it's very affordable. And with enough feed back from you guys im def giving this away once i throw up a few more videos on it. tell me what you guys think about.

Best thing to do is to unlock your phone and install the GE rom on it - sense rom and HTC have throttled the One so if the game is graphics intense it just drops the framerates!!!
Get moga pro, custom rom, modern combat 4 and multiplayer - oh my its like a console in your hands!!! amazing experience - since i did this i have not touched my 360!!!

Looks awesome, thanks. I have REALLY been wanting one but my newlywed budget can't handle the extra $50 right now lol.

Moga Pro improves on all the quirks of the original. I'm hoping they do a giveaway like they did with the Moga's. Not even a month after they announced the Moga they gave away hundreds of them for free with MC4 and Sonic as well.

I seem to have a lot of problems with the moga pro aiming etc on modern combat 4 it goes from to sensitive to not responsive enough. So the sensitivity in multiplayer sucks but with auto aim this makes the game bad ass. I wish all games were compatible with it.

Looks pretty awesome, nice review! I never heard of Moga before this thread.

Thanks bro

You don't need a GE ROM to fix the thermal throttling. Just install ElementalX. It has its own custom thermal controls. I can game as much as I want with no slowdowns without giving up Sense.

I had the pocket one (the first one), and absolutely loved it. I mostly only used it for my SNES emulator, never really liked it with the bigger games. The pocket one worked great so I have no doubt that this one is just as good.

Has anyone had any luck redeeming their complimentary game? I don't care overmuch, but Gameloft sent me away with a "your device is not compatible" message. Sadness.

No, mine was definitely NOVA 3. Bizarre. Ah well. Are you rooted?

Just got the moga. It is an awesome accessory for gaming. So far I have tried 5 supported titles and they work amazingly well with this controller.
My only gripe is the built in phone clip is a tad too narrow if my device is in my otter box defender, or more importantly while I am using my mophie. I have to use the tablet stand when using my mophie.
Also, in case anyone was wondering I am using the GE ROM so I have not tried this on stock sense.

Really? It's a bit bulky, but it works with my mophie on.
And I redeemed using a Nexus 7 (my Nexus 10 wasn't compatible either, strangely) and sideloaded. Good game it seems, but hard to see on the One.

I can get my mophie to fit on it but it is not tight. I have to be careful so it doesn't slide out. That's a bummer for me because some of these games are a major battery drain.

[Q] Has anybody compared Cps2, Neogeo, and other arcade Emus?

I was wondering if anybody has compared the competing arcade emulators that are available for the Xperia Play.
I mainly want to know what you prefer and why, so that I can make an informed decision when I pick one (or some) out.
For NeoGeo I prefer Neo.Emu over Neodroid, as the speed and intuitiveness are quite good and it controls very well for me too. Although it doesn't run any roms maid post 2000, which is too bad as I'd like to try out some of those later titles on this hardware. To be fair though I have not used Neodroid extensively as I kinda fell in love with Neo.Emu.
For cps2 I have tried CPS2HD, after fiddling with it got a few roms to work and the controls kinda work on the Play, but there are hiccups sometimes. It looks nice, but sometimes runs too fast. I have only tried a few roms though. I have heard that Cpsemu is an alternative but haven't tried it yet, and maybe some of those mame emulators too, but there are quite a few of them, plus I never really used mame proper on the PC, anyways I would really like to know what your thoughts are on the subject.
Any emulator wizards out there that can review and compare some of these emulators for a guy like me?
If so thanks for your time, I sure will appreciate it.

For me it is and has always been Tiger MAME. It runs neogeo, cps1,cps2, and more. With local netplay. Plays awesome on our phone. Nice and fast.

Cool. I have heard of it but have not tried it. Are you using the current version? I see that there are free versions and pay versions of tigermame on some stores. The google play store is very limited in my country, so some apps like this are difficult to get a hold of.
And sometimes can end up buying an obsolete or fake version from these shady Chinese marketplaces.
Which mame Rom sets is it optimised for? V145?
Sent from my PLAYSTATION PHONE using tapatalk
The free lets you save bit not load that save. I paid the $5 from within the app to unlock it. Totally worth it. Plus it gives you net-play. My friend and I play the Dungeon & Dragons tower of doom all the time on team mode.
Also this tiger mame is not on the android market. And I have tried all types of make sets and it takes them all, at least for me.

For mobile phones, unfortunately, yes.. because they don't require such complex controls that action games need.. the screen size are limited on mobile phones so i never enjoyed games such as Max Payne and GTA.. asphalt series and other racing games, however are acceptable, but they're heavy and eats battery a lot..
So i prefer casual and simple games.. If you're into heavy gaming i suggest you to get a tablet instead..

Besides that, iOS developers have only a few products to deal with... 3GS, 4, 4S, the 3 editions of iPads and iTouch, whereas Android has several manufacturers with a gazillion phone models to work with, with different hardware specs and OS versions as well. So try to be in Gameloft's shoes for a sec. Besides, we don't want a released (paid) app that's full of bugs anyway.
I tweeted gameloft and just got a reply now
We have hit a slight delay with the android release, we anticipate it will be available by the end of this week.
Wow. This is going to be cool. Even better then those so called "Need for Speed" for PC. [after carbon, all nfs sucks. Best nfs: most wanted]

Well, I connect my device with my led tv and a gaming pad. But dude, you can be great at anything. These are crap excuses!! I mean you say that games are hard...ya, but not impossible, man!
You can find multiplayer mode players there who are just damn great.
So, you people just accept that you can't do that.
You are blaming gameloft for making that type of games that you can't play!!

i'm not saying GL can't make games that playable, imo playing such games on a phone wont give you the best 'possible' result.. you definitely never play the same game on a different device.. that's why i recommend to play it on a tablet instead..
i may not be the best player/gamer but i choose not to.. sometimes it's boring and other people don't even care if you're that good.. i experienced this many times on numerous online games i've played.. now i play none of them..
oh, you have a TV and a gamepad.. but for gaming from a phone? seriously? PS3/X360 looks very outdated now..

Yeah,the tilting works on other games,i think it's a bug,hoping that the guys at gameloft will repair this,maybe get out a patch soon.In the meanwhille,i've allready finished 6 championships and the game is great,the graphics are good,the thing that bugs me about the game are the "post score" or different commercials that are always shown,but overall it's a great game .
Posted some screenshots bellow
Thanks mates..
Downloading.. 1.3 gB. It must be a good game.
P.s. Can I play it with a bt keyboard?
Don't know honestly,but i don't see why it would't work.

The framerate makes it unplayable for me at stock, it's just too much of a distraction.
I'm waiting on a gameloft update. (sigh)
However, with faux and game booster app it plays pretty good with a decent framerate , but still annoys me that it's still not the framerate it should be & not what iOS users get.
Stock users - I'd say not to bother yet, as the framerate is choppy hell.

Sorry, (in the nicest way possible) .... you must be blind if you think the framerate is ok .
Go have a look at the trailer on the play store, that's how it's supposed to run.
Everyone I've spoken to has mentioned the very poor framerate, even android police the other day mentioned it to be 'definitely choppy' in the pre-review.
It's not Tegra 3 compatible, not really.
It runs at terrible framerates on both my Nexus 7 & HOX.
It may work, but we have to wait on Gameloft for the fix.
This game doesn't even run completely smooth at all on base 2.05, faux kernel and game booster app - stock 1.29 has no chance.
......
Unless your using a U.S snapdragon S4 version, not sure how it runs on that HOX.

Lol, that may be true for NFS, but the size of gameloft games are wayyyyy too big in size.
To think Torchlight is under 600mb for the PC, makes you wonder how a racing game for a phone could be 1.3gb. - ouch.
i don't think the price of an app is an excuse for poor coding - the game shouldn't have been released yet, not in its current state.
I've heard the SGS3 also has framerate issues with this game (just not and severe as most of GL games for Tegra3 devices) and that's operating on a year old GPU, so it shouldn't have optimisation issues - but even here, it does.
But, HOPEFULLY - they will release a fix soon, and not wait a month like they did for batman on Tegra 3.
Sadly, gameloft ain't like madfinger who will respond to you quickly and issue a fix quickly if it's their problem.

Yeah,unfortunaly i've sent an email to them regarding the accelerometer problems,sayd they will investigate the problem,but so far,nothing...i am not an expert programmer,i understand some codes,but i mean,how hard can an accelerometer problem be to solve it?
Luckly that i've got used with the touchscreen "virtual buttons",otherwise i wouldn't played this game.
As for the size of them,i maybe saying something stupid....but...aren't the guys at gameloft using Unity to make the graphics like the guys who made Dead Trigger?I tried like 1 or 2 years ago Unity and the graphics made with that program always use to much space.
Reached championship 9 so far .
Yeah, I think android police agreed with most of us.
Hopefully, gameloft will take note with some bad publicity & make a quick fix.
It definitely seems to be affecting all android devices.
Gameloft should definitely come with a disclaimer warning that it is optimized for iOS only.

Graphics And Performance
Even with the above foibles, Asphalt 7 could be a good game. The deal breaker for me is the overwhelming mediocrity of the graphics. Judging from the screenshots on the Play Store page, this should be a gorgeous game. Instead, it's just average. Even then, only on some devices. On the Nexus 7 the texture resolution is absolutely terrible. Everything in the environment looks muddy. The cars aren't bad, but there is noticeable aliasing along the edges.
I also looked at things on the Galaxy Nexus, and the textures were a little better. I was still not impressed with the overall fuzziness of the roads and buildings, though. The jaggies are not as prevalent here, possibly because the screen is smaller, and I can't see them as well. For whatever reason, performance is questionable on both devices. Both will get a spot of lag from time to time, and the Nexus 7 seems to have a lower frame rate The brightness also looks too high, making the game oddly washed-out. There are a few places that I could barely see where I was going because the gentle blue track markers blended in too well with the background. Turning my device's brightness down did nothing to fix this. I could also see distant objects drawing as I rocketed along. That should not happen on any modern device.
For 1.4GB of game data, I expected stunning graphics. I really feel like some of the smaller Need For Speed games look better than this. Asphalt 7 is not ugly, but it's just not pretty like the screenshots would lead you to believe.
Conclusion
On the surface, Asphalt 7 is a fine game. The controls are solid, and there are plenty of tracks and race types. I can even deal with the in-app purchases because they don't seem exploitative. This is essentially a $7 game that you can have for $0.99, so dropping a few dollars on better cars seems alright. The learning curve is steep, but not to a fault However, the requirement that you have internet access is beyond ridiculous. Things fall apart for me when it comes to visuals and performance. I'm just disappointed in how this game runs on the Nexus 7, and it's not terribly good on the Galaxy Nexus. Lag, low frame rates, and blurry graphics are not what I expect out of 1.4GB of game data. If this game was free, I'd definitely suggest you pick it up to try. As it stands, you could spend $0.99 if you like Asphalt racing games, but there's just nothing that special here.

Is it just me, or does Metal Slug 3 run like crap on the GS3?

I don't know if this has been asked before in depth, but Metal Slug 3 runs like crap on my Galaxy S3. The game starts fine, then it gradually slows down, and finally freezes. The same is true for Blazing Star. It plays fine initially, slows down, and then freezes. I don't know if this problem is exclusive to me, or if everyone with a Snapdragon S4, US variant Galaxy S3 is experiencing these issues. No one at the Play Store mentions it. Is this a real problem, exclusive to me ,or just an optimization issue.
Not that I think it's connected in any way, but I'm running the latest Free Sonic ROM, released on Friday.

Thanks for the reply. I'll have to look into it. Maybe a fresh install/wipe is in line.
Exact same for me on metal slug 3

Thanks for the reply. At least I know it's not just me then. I hope SNK optimizes these games. Especially since most new phones are using the Snapdragon S4 processor.

i experience the same thing on temple run! thought i was alone with this. is anyone using a ROM that forces the GUI through the GPU? i am, and i think that may be it. couple that with the adreno GPU we have thats inferior to the mali GPU's, we may have our answer? not quite sure though, just a theory

Um if you are playing this on an emulator then you can forget SNK optimizing anything.
Most gameloft games run like crap on my gs3 but on my evo 4g lte it don't same processor so what gives.

Play SNK games on Emulator instead and you will never get slow speed,and they are all free including Metal Slugs.
I'm not playing it on a Neo Geo emulator. I'm playing SNK's official android port. It's really inexcusable. I'm sure there will be an update where the freezes are addressed. The Galaxy S3 is the most popular phone right now, so if the issue is prevalent, it will be addressed with an update.
Yes the Mali is somewhat better, but it isn't anywhere near a night and day difference. I haven't seen any benchmark or real world application where the Mali 400 spanked the Adreno 225. Truth be told, right now the Adreno can handle any current android game with ease. In my opinion, optimisation is the key.

That is your problem.Android ports are garbage mostly.Emulators run same games million times smoother,not to mention its free.
I still haven't experienced any of these claims....lol

This, you just have to find the right files for them to operate. I have metal slug 3 and metal slug x on my phone using an emulator and it works just fine.

Which emulator are you using, and where do you get the roms? You can PM me when you get to this. I've been searching for a good emulator, and also been looking for a good place to get roms.

Yeah Mame Reloaded.Go to Emuparadise and download Final Fight(World) and see if it works.You can set your own rom directory in settings toh,dont unzip the files but place the zip in rom directory.
The other version of Mame is good too,they just use different rom sets.Reloaded has better compatibility.
Just place Final Fight zip in rom directory and start the app,it should work.When you see that it does then you can download more roms.And you can use ps3 or wii controlers with it.
You will need this zip that i made for neogeo roms www.4shared.com/zip/ZWYvtdxA/neogeo.html .
Download the other Mame4Droid(0.37b5) and put the neogeo.zip in rom directory.After this you can download any neogeo rom from Emuparadise and it will work.
Also try other emulators they have n64,sega cd and genesis,snes and turbografix 16 are best ones.

I don't know if this has been asked before in depth, but Metal Slug 3 runs like crap on my Galaxy S3. The game starts fine, then it gradually slows down, and finally freezes. The same is true for Blazing Star. It plays fine initially, slows down, and then freezes.

I have the same problem (graphics slow to a freeze, but music plays fine) with Blazing Star and Metal Slug 3 on my Nexus running CM10 on a Galaxy Nexus. I don't think I had that issue with Metal Slug 3 under CM9. It could be an ICS vs. JB thing, especially considering JB's focus was graphics running buttery smooth (and having the opposite effect here).
I have the same problem here. No one from the play store seems to be complaining and I think it could specific to galaxy s3 running jb.
Funny thing is metal slug one and two world like a charm and can't imagine how much more complex the third instalment could be...

Game Controllers for the Nexus

Anyone have any good suggestions on one of those new "Android Controllers" that you out your phone into and it'll work with certain games?
I recently downloaded Sonic, and have a big interest to playing it on my phone, as well as GTA, but I can't stand using my fingers on the screen, as its either too small of a screen for fat thumbs, or my finger dries up and it feels like it drags against the screen because of the heat.
One other thing is the compatibility. What games would and wouldn't work with the controller? Do I need an extra app for it to work? Ideally, I would love to download a psx emulator and play my FFVII again, since I doubt they will release it on mobile OS anytime soon.
And lastly, what about using my Xbox One controller? I won't go out to buy a ps3 or 360 controller, because then I might as well buy the ones they make for the phones.
Thank you in advance!

Moga Pro bro. I have one. Its all you need. Don't get the pocket - its too small IMO to feel like an actual controller.

But what is it compatible with? Could I use it on sonic as well as a psx emulator? What kind of games can I not use it on?

Regarding certain apps, it is compatible with some actually. I'm not sure which Sonic game you're referring to. It its not compatible with Sonic Dash, but it does work with Sonic CD Lite, for example. I just know that because it is explicitly stated in the app's description. The best way to know which apps the Moga series (there's 4 out currently but the Moga Pro 1st generation is more than sufficient) work with is to read the description when you download the app usually.
There's also an app that the controller comes with, on a slip of paper basically, that you can download and it lists Moga compatible apps. I forgot the name of it but just search for Moga in the play store. I'm not sure how often its updated so I've personally never relied on it...
For emulators, I haven't came across any popular emulators that ISNT compatible with Moga, or any other Bluetooth controller. To use a PS3 controller, for example, you have to be rooted, which is one reason why I recommend sticking with a Moga Pro.
I currently play Power Stone Collection on PPSSPP flawlessly. It takes a bit of configuring to get the controller and button mappings to work depending on the emulator, but thats easily done with a bit of googling or youtubing. But yes, the Moga Pro is definitely compatible with psx emulators (especially the major 2, epsxe and the other one...)
Yeah, I recommend the Moga Pro simply from the standpoint that it is the most compatible with games. If a game supports any controller it's probably going to support the Moga. The Moga Pro Power is usually cheaper than the original Moga Pro since the original was discontinued.
http://www.amazon.com/POWER-MOGA-Pr...1?ie=UTF8&qid=1398434121&sr=8-1&keywords=moga
It has a better clip for the phone and a better d-pad, plus has a large rechargeable battery that can power your phone if you want. I don't use the charging capability but the extra weight from the battery gives it a better feel (less top heavy).
You can connect the Moga in a generic Bluetooth controller mode or the "Moga" mode. I honestly haven't found any games that support a controller but don't work in the Moga mode. Some more obscure emulators may require you to switch it to the generic mode and configure the buttons manually, but I haven't found any.
Whats the difference between the Hero and Pro version, and why is the Hero 40 bucks more expensive?

The diff is the battery capacity. Moga is THE controller lol. But I have the Kickstarter Drone Controller which I really like as well. I played with the Moga and that is the go to, but I am a casual gamer and after the impulse controller, I didn't expect much from the Drone, but I was surprisingly wrong lol.

The Hero is a smaller form factor. It drops the "handles" so that it can be tossed in a bag more easily.
The reason it's more expensive is that it's backordered from Amazon so you're seeing a third party seller who is ripping people off. If you order it from Amazon it's only $40.
I recommend the Moga Pro also... It works great with Dead Trigger 2, MC4, Dungeon Hunter 4... Download the Moga Pivot app to see exactly what games are compatible.
