My bad experience with Android games

Hello,
i have installed 3 games on my sg2:
Cordy https://market.android.com/details?id=com.silvertree.cordy Beautifull game, but i have force close..
HexDefense http://www.hexdefense.com/ Good game, but it alway freeze after 5/10mns
Armored defense https://market.android.com/details?...oid.armoreddefense.game&feature=search_result
Force close at the start of the game..
I'm really disappointed with android games, for the moment, i'm coming from an iphone 4
What do you think?
Thanks for your suggestion.

I have cordy installed myself. No force closes for me
Havent tried either of the other 2 games
I currently have Can knockdown 2, peggle, zuma, samurai 2:Vengence, worms, Cut the rope, Plants vs Zombies and Hero of Sparta (poor game) installed and running without issues.
Am much happier with the games than i thought i would be. Samurai 2 is Phenomenal!
Sorry to hear bout your problems, but i would put forward that its either the version you are downloading or else a problem with your phone....
Only thing i've had problems with so far is Pandora Radio
EDIT This Post may be of some use to your search aswell

Thanks for your reply.
Can i see log files or something like that to see where is the problem?

my current fav games are
myth defence, fieldrunners [ios version now on android] and paradise island.
oh and angry birds of course, and now cut the rope too!
all work great, no problems
Rumble

If u turn off all in settings in hex defence - it will work normal

I don't know about the games you mention, but some games haven't been yet optimized for SGS II.
Or it could be something wrong with the configuration of your phone (rom, kernel etc)
Besides the above:
Armored defense https://market.android.com/details?...oid.armoreddefense.game&feature=search_result
Force close at the start of the game..

It says at the market: KNOWN ISSUE: The first time the game load could run very slow in some phones (Galaxy S, …). SOLUTION: exit the game (phone BACK button) and restart it

my games are cordy, majesty, battleheart, dropwords,speedx 3d, reversi and naval clash.
no problems whatsoever. in fact cordy looks better and plays faster than a psp game.

[Q] Snes Emulation woes - Latency and Emulation problems

Hello all.
I am having problems with emulation on my newly purchased xperia play.
I downloaded snesoid because I was recommended to get it by a friend *and apparently the internet is crazy about it*. When I tried playing Megaman X on it, there was very noticeable slowdown. The first stage *highway* ran at noticeably slower speeds than it did on the snes. It was playable, but felt sluggish. At first I was okay with this, but then I played it on my friend's phone just to test it out, and his was runninghttp://media.xda-developers.com/images/editor/menupop.gif it perfectly.
Does anyone know why that may be?
I also downloaded snes9x ex to test it out, and the app runs great! Problem with this app, unfortunately, is the VERY noticeable input latency. It makes platformers really odd to play on with.
I tried Seiken Densetsu 3 on Snesoid as well, and that game glitches out every conversation that comes up. The screen will flicker for a second. Very jarring.
Has anyone else experienced these kind of things with theirs, and if so, does anyone know a fix for this?
If this is phone specific, I am just going to return it since it only has been a day and just get a new one, but I want to make sure I can't do anything to fix it on my end before hand, this way I can at least learn something about these phones if there is a fix I CAN do at home, since I currently am a huge phone noob.

Something very interesting I just noticed.
Just tried Megaman X2 and X3 and those games run perfectly.
Color me confused.

Yea, SNES9x plays better with less glitches, but has noticeable button lag. Took forever for me to beat DKC, especially the mine cart stages.

Im sorry to hear about your problem mate but mine seems to run all of the games perfectly smooth. Ive had no such issues yet regarding the snesoid emulator.
If you feel strongly about it I would suggest trying out a new sexplay.

Also note the programs you have running in your running services log. Something there may be interfering with your gameplay. I can't seem to use Swiftkey X on my Xplay as it causes lag that kills the experience on nearly every game I play.
But the button lag is something you will have to deal with on any XPlay and SNES9x. Unfortunate, and hopefully will be fixed by the author at some point.

Is there button input lag with Snes A.D (free emulator on market) ?
Could someone test it for me ? I'm supposed to get the phone next week, and I chose it especially for emulation so I'd be disappointed if there are any issues with SNES games.

Have had not any issues with these games.
I use SnesOid and TigerSNES - both free.

same here,gensoid running silky smooth,fpse running perfectly fine,tiger arcade for th e most games also good,but imho useless cause no dip switch access or neo geo rom settings(tried that mame4all but no thanks,seems it support only legacy roms,don`t wanna convert all my roms for that program,the few that were running on mame4all were also laggy)
but snesoid(latest version) isn`t running good,as i stated in another thread.
for example super castlevania 4,it doesn`t matter if frameskip is on or off,set to manual or auto,it`s far away from running smooth,there is a slight stuttering when you look at the background as your character moves forward-also numerous other games..tried snes 9x or what is called,realized it doesn`t load any of my snes roms because it cant read .zip files,only .smc and even with .smc it won`t open some roms.i`ll try this tiger snes now

Hated SNES A.D. looking for a good emu right now too.

when u complain about noticeable input lag in snes9x, what kind of games are u playing? ive never really had any issues with it since its around a 10th of a second (tbh i doubt id ever of noticed it playing things like super metroid)
all of my games are in .zip files and ive never had any issues with the emulator at all, destroys snesoid imo. i do hope that the input lag is fixed, but overall i think its a much better emulator than anything else available.

I sure would like to try snes9x.... can't find it though! Little help?

i noticed just earlier after i posted realizing i hadn't received an update in some time. It appears to have been removed from the market, odd considering that all his other emulators are still there and one of his main selling points was compliance with the gpl of snes9x (the reason it was free as opposed to his other emulators)
the website is http://www.explusalpha.com/home
Robert Brogalia is the devs name, check out his other apps, they all get fantastic feedback.

Oh my god! This emulator is amazing! Everyone get it. This should just come on the phone..... LOL

u can change the dpi of the menus, turn off that shocking linear filtering that snesoid and all them use(i like me some retro blockiness) and it doesnt appear but when scrolling through lists thumb scroll works just fine.

Looks like I have to start over on Zelda, guess the saves are different from snesnoid. So worth it though.
Sent from my R800a using xda premium

u just have to change the extention to the same one used in snes9x...if i recall snesoid uses .sav, snes9x uses .sma or something, i got all mine working so if u fiddle u should get it, afaik quicksaves are a no-go however, just the battery backup works.

Snesoid is based on the snes9x source anyway......

if people are finding solutions that work better for them thats a good thing, i dont care if the source is the same, i find it to be a better emulator. i will say i initially bought all yonghz apps including n64oid.

Goping back on topic i just got myself a Play today, and i have major problems with games on gameboid, genesoid, snesoid theyw ill jump around and skip frames. I know why it's becuase it has frameskip set to 2 by default. If i set it to 0 then the audio produces an annoying stuttering and clicking. I just don't belive this ive seen thousands of videos showing th performance and sound of the games and its perfect. Ive even rooted and stripped my Play of some apps too. Now im really at wits end this thing wont emulate any game perfectly... What can i do????

Trust me mate, I've tried everything on both of my Xperia Plays. One stock, and one overclocked to 1.6ghx with CyanogenMod 7.
I'm at the same stage... I set games to 0 frameskipping and most games run perfectly, however if I enable the sound I get this horrible crackle (and with TigerMAME 3.0.3 noticable lag spikes - which is a damn shame). I think most of these emus need optimising for Xperia Play.
'Perfect' is such an over-used term these days... However these are the best emus of the bunch in my opinion... Trust me, I'm extremely anal when it comes to emulation.
TigerMAME 3.0.3 - With sound disabled can run games like Gigawing and Mars Matrix perfectly. I really hope the audio can be optimised. I'm currently playing the above two games with my own music playing in the background until then. Also, I believe older versions of Tiger run more games than this release...
MAME4Droid - Good for games which fall under the old MAME romset. Most games run smooth with audio (a lot of older games run perfectly) and the amount of CPU/audio customisation is unrivaled.
SNES9X EX - Runs games perfectly (excluding the Mode-7 heavy titles), with only slight audio crackle... Hoping for this to be resolved soon.
MD.EMU - The best Genesis/Megadrive emu around, same dev as SNES9X EX. Does the job where others fail (ie: near perfect Sonic 3 performance). Some audio problems here also.
GBAoid - Seems to work perfectly with everything I've tried. I need to put more research into GBA emu.

Do you use any apps like Android tuner or Root Control?, (chainfire 3d?)

Not enough RAM, you should try to restart your phone and kill unwanted apps before play.

Other games also starting will lag.

you can try and make a factory reset and earase internal storage. Maybe there was a problem or something.
Gets your device hot when you start the game?
How about a benchmark program? Did you make a test and compare to other results on youtube e.g.
Maybe some hardware error or sth. like that.

i tested with AnTuTu benchmark v6.1.4 and i get 53410, how about yours?

Ah just saw ur pn and replied to you. With antutu i got 47514. So from this side it looks okay. Hardware have no issues.
But then I have no idea what could be the problem on your device. My other games are running smoothly, only vainglory is a little laggy.
I am sorry man, I have no other ideas to help you.

Has anyone of you tried playin Asphalt 8?
How is it? mine is so laggy. even in lowest settings.

Did you enable the Perfomance Mode in Battery settings?
I haven't played Asphalt yet, but I play Real Racing 3. This app is running very smoothly without any issues.
You can try this one and reply what happens.

Asphalt 8 lags like hell even with performance mode on

its asphalt 8 not the device it is rather optimised and lags on most devices, source from YouTube videos of others playing it on some high end devices.
Possibly the device is not switching to the 2.0ghz a53 part of the octocore?
Question, how well does it run world of tanks blitz?

Gameloft games won't work.

Nevermind I messaged Gameloft and they fixed it. ?
I will leave this post incase it happens again or is an issue with the phone.
Gameloft games are showing as incompatible on play store. Have any one else noticed this?
Asphalt extreme, Gangstar New Orleans, asphalt street storm,
And many others either don't show on the store or state incompatible with this device. I'm still on nugget is Oreo showing same?
I have asphalt extreme that was working but now it just crashes when starting it and can't redownload off the store.
