Games, emulators (PSP & others) - gameplay & tutorials - Note 7 Themes, Apps, and Mods

Update 1: 12 Nov 2016
Since I don't have the Note 7 anymore, all this thread is continued in Galaxy S7 Edge forum.
I will not post here anymore.
You can go here for my latest post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/s7-edge/themes/best-android-apps-games-tutorials-t3482704
Thanks.
I am super happy with my Note 7 (version 2 replaced).
I have no problems at all with this device.
It is a super "gaming machine".
I really like the PSP emulator. I recomend it.
Do you use any other emulators?
Here are some of my gameplays on PSP + stock market games

Here is the the tutorial for how to configure / use the PSP emulator on Android & run games

Extreme gameplay? Note 7 can handle.
I made a test with multiple games: GTA, Assassin Creed, Valiant Hearts, Real Racing 3, ShadowGun.
Note 7 is amazing. Just watch my test.
The phone doesn't heat. Everything is smooth.
The first one (version 1 before the replacement) had some issues.
What do you use to play?
Any good games? Or new games?

Some recommended setting in ppsspp... I would reference the site I got it from... but forgot where...
Mode: Non-buffered rendering
Frameskipping: 1 or 3 "read online some run better with odd number and other might be better with even numbers"
Prevent FPS from exceeding ON
Alt. Speed: Unlim
Hardware transform ON
Vertex cache ON
Timer hack ON
Disable alpha test ON "i left this one off though as it wont render like rain in FFT right"
Disable stencil test ON
Always write depth ON
System:
Fast memory ON
Change CPU clock: 400 "I personally put this similar to psp mem clock like 333 or 444"
JIT ON
Anyways I did transform my note 7 when i had it into a massive emu machine... then my vita got updated to a better emulation mode... lol so now I'm using that again for emulation gaming. I still will leave the emu on the phone for backup gaming or let other play.
List of emu I made a decision on:
GBA.emu
Snes9x EX+
Nes.emu
Genesis
PPSSPP
Gensoid
Mupen64Plus FZ Edition
ePSXe
Gemboy!
I was also looking into controllers for it too but no longer need it cause of the Vita.
Power A Moga
Gamesir
SteelSeries

Ive been using retroarch which uses the libreto API to emulate basically anything you can think of, and downloads the cores required to play whatever ROMs you put on your SD card.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.retroarch&hl=en
I use it mainly for SNES and Megadrive (aka Genesis) emulation, but works well with PS1

Using either one Retro or the standalone one I mention will need Bios files for psx, nes, and gba. Just like other forums it not allow to tell you where to get it but google it ^_^.... Same go for roms...
For RetroArch you put those files in the system folder and the others is either the main folder or the "bios" folder.
One thing i dont like about retroarch on phone atm is the retroarch bar that you cant hide without hiding the controls. It might beable to be disable but idk yet
SCPH1001.Bin, gba_bios.bin, and disksys.rom = psx, gba, and nes

Tekken 6 - psp gameplay emulator on Note 7 Exynos & any Android phone

I discovered that if we change the resolution of Note 7 from 2k to 1920, all games from psp will work perfect on highest settings, even the star war. Great discovery.

Alternative way of emulating SNES on Touch Pro 2

I have been desperate for a decent SNES emulator for my touch pro 2 and have found a way of playing the games on my phone since Morphgear is all but useless on our phones. Put haret on your phone and run Android http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=627997. Go to the Android market and download the free version of SNESOID and enjoy. It plays nearly full speed on our phones. I would however recommend that before running SNESOID that you close all applications running in the background in Android before attempting to run a game. I can't wait until sound is supported with the Android build for the Touch Pro 2 then we will have our cake and eat it too. Hope this helps some of you guy's that have been searching for emulators as I have.
I'm sorry, but why is morphgear useless?
(I'm sorry, but why is morphgear useless?)
Hey Scalage. Speed and the interface of Morphgear is what to me makes it useless. When I play SNES games I like to play them to play as close to full speed as possible with sound. Morphgear just don't cut it on a WVGA device unless you are running it on a phone like Omnia 2 or HTC HD 2 with much faster processors. So it didn't take me long after I installed Morphgear to uninstall it from my Touch Pro 2. If you have found success with Morphgear then I am impressed. But performance with games like Super Mario World and Mario Kart when I tried it really disappointed me.

It is Asphalt5. Now for your daily dose of irony. It doesn't run on the A7!
I sent them an e-mail about it and got nothing.
It appears than none of the Gameloft games run on the A7.

Runs just fine on my A7.
Air Attack HD
Personally I enjoy the emulators along with the xbox mod
Tegra2 demo of NFS Shift (i tested it and it runs ok)
only one level playable , from here you need to buy the full game (for AT&T network users only i think)
Gameloft games
Just a quick fyi. Some gameloft games work on the elocity. I've tested:
works:
Asphalt 5 (works perfectly)
Assassins Creed (sucks without multitouch)
Sandstorm (ok without multitouch)
Dungeon hunter (works great, lighting seems messed up)
Dungeon hunter 2 (works great, some textures whited out, only on menus though)
Hawx (works perfectly)
doesnt work:
Modern Combat 2 (downloads files but doesn't work)
Avatar (not at all)
Brothers in arms 2 (not at all)
Nova (downloads files but doesn't work)
GT Racing (downloads files but doesn't work)
Skype
Can I ask if anyone has successfully got Skype going on their A7. I've been trying but just can't get it going.

- if you got stock, its not working
- if you got the Mod edition, it should work fine, as the build prop fix is included.
Thanks for the reply. Okay now for the big question, where do I get the MOD EDITION?
Many thanks for your patience
i did mean ElocityMod here, not a Skype modified edition..
if you look in dev. section you can find the mod rom's there..

I'd have to agree, the A7 is an awesome emulator in your pocket

[GAMES] Games that work well on PPSSPP on Moto E

As we all know that the internal space on our moto e is really low. Thats when emulators play a great role in gaming. For those who don't know what ppsspp is, PPSSPP is a Sony PSP emulator. It is available on Windows, Linux, Android, iOS and many other platforms.
This thread is to compile all the games that work well on ppsspp on our moto e.
Here are a couple of games and the version they work well on
Persona 3 Portable v0.9.9.1 works the best gives 45 fps
Final Fantasy 7- Crisis Core v0.9.9.1 gives 30 fps most of the time
Toradora! Portable (Visual Novel) v0.9.8 gives better frame rate but works fine on v0.9.9.1
Patapon any PPSSPP version works out
God of War- Chains of Olympus works best on v0.9.9.1 but then stutters a couple of times
Assasins Creed Bloodlines Not working gives 15 fps max on all tried versions
Hakuoki: Demon of the Fleeting Blossom (Visual Novel) works fine on all PPSSPP versions
Dragon Ball Z- Shin Budokai gives 25 fps on v0.9.9.1
Need for Speed - Most Wanted works out most of the time, gives good framerate on v0.9.9.1
Links
ppsspp is available on the play store here https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.ppsspp.ppsspp
for older ppsspp versions (some games work well on older ppsspp versions) http://www.ppsspp.org/downloads.html
For the games use google.com
A number of games are available on coolrom.com or from emu paradise or from torrents.
The motive here is try from various sources. You never know which one works out the best.
Settings vary from ppsspp version to version. Remember there are no fixed settings. Different games work out differently on different ppsspp versions and settings.
Also its better to kill all other background processes (Except the most necessary ones). Use greenify for the same. Cleaners like clean master and ccleaner and god know what others don't work out. Its best to kill a process / force stop an app for the best results.
Thats all there is for now. I'll update the games list if I can find some good working ones. If you too have games that work out on moto e do post them.
NOTE: Please do not ask for games here. This thread is solely for finding which games work the best on our device.

Emulators - which one

Been using the command line for just about everything.
I do quite a bit of work as I have 2 rooted boxes and one running the Google Play store (among other things).
What emulator seems to be best - time to move from the CL to a GUI.
Which is best?
Emulators for what? (Command line?) On what Box? You've been using a CLI for everything so far? Like what? You do quite a lot of work? Thats remarkable. Let me congratulate you on that.
If you want recommendations on emulators for old video game systems - ask again, I might provide you with a detailed answer - even though this thread so far seems like it wants to bait information by sounding like you are a techy person yourself (ey, buddy, buddy) although none of the statements above makes much sense.
If I am mistaken and you want recommendations for the best Terminal emulator out there, I don't know. But try "Terminal Emulator" first, because thats usually what everyone uses when it comes to terminal emulators..
---------- Post added at 09:09 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:35 AM ----------
Oh, what the - I have the time, so why not...
If other people read this thread, looking for video game emulator recommendations.
Retroarch for everything thats not CPU intensive to emulate. Because it is a one stop setup solution for many (most) systems. Also it has the only implementation of ScummVM thats actually usable with a controller. (If you use scummvm - swapping to the new GUI theme (you have to find it as a zip file on the web) is much easier on the eyes, just fyi)
I use version 1.3.0 - because newer versions produced slowdowns on PCSX Rearmed. Havent tested the most recent builds though.
If you are on a Fire TV Stick, use either Snes9xEX version 1.5.1. or 1.5.27 (I think I stuck to 1.5.1) for SNES games as using other emulators/builds might result in performance issues http://www.explusalpha.com/home/snes9x-ex/downloads
If you are on a Fire TV 2 (as supposed to a Fire TV Stick, havent tested the Fire TV 1):
For most PSX games use ePSXe, most recent version.
For PSP Games use PPSSPP, most recent version.
For DS Emulation use DraStic (hard to set up, because its a paid emu, and Play Store licensing doesn't work in this case - had to resort to illicit means to get it working)
For Dreamcast emulation, use reicast (most recent beta build ( http://builds.reicast.com/ ), but it also depends on the game).
For N64 emulation use Mupen64Plus FZ Edition - its by far the best one. Most recent build should be fine as well.
Dolphin is a non starter on the AFTV2.
As for PPSSPP and ePSXe, learn what the settings do - which setting enables hardware acceleration, which setting disables certain effects - it usually is the difference between a game being perfectly playable or dropping frames. Don't resort to Youtube tutorials. Read up on the settings instead.
Result:
http://imgbox.com/g/hcG8Ulv2QY
You can use the n and b keys on your keyboard to navigate forwards and backwards in the single image view.
edit: Also - consider buying a Xiaomi Game Controller, because it is cheap and has a great digipad. To get the best results out of this controller, be rooted and change line 42 in the Vendor_2836_Product_0001.kl file in /system/usr/keylayout/ from
key 0x13f HOME ALT #Long Press
to
key 0x13f BUTTON_START #Long Press
Otherwise, you will end up in the Amazon launcher in a few emulators that don't prevent this from happening. (It prevents this isue: https://www.reddit.com/r/fireTV/comments/5d9ptb/amazon_fire_tv_box_xbox_360_dongle_issues/ - but understand, that there are different kl files you have to edit for different controllers)
If you have issues with the controller going to sleep and then refusing to reconnect within an emulator - use a rubber band to pin the right stick to a tilt. Most games you emulate won't use the right stick, and this prevents the controller from turning off.
Not sure, if it helps in every case, but also google for
Bluetooth Auto Connect lag
and read up on how to potentially minimize the input lag from a Bluetooth controller using the Bluetooth Auto Connect app. Understand that in more recent versions the layout of the app has changed.
Also - just FYI, all the games you see in the images above are perfectly playable - for the beat em ups this means no framedrops whatsoever, on the other games - if there are framedrops, I havent noticed them.
The only exception is Tekken 3 running with upscaling on ePSXe. If you use Retroarch and PCSX Rearmed to emulate it (even with scanlines ) it runs frame perfect. (on Retroarch 1.3.0 that is - I just checked it out with 1.3.6 on a much beefier Android device, and it still drops frames - although the textures look better. If you wan't better playability, stick to 1.3.0) Tekken 6 also runs without dropping frames, even with some upscaling, although you have to disable graphical effects, or you will get noticable drops. All other PSP games I tested play perfectly fine with effects enabled. All Dreamcast games I tested also run without dropping frames.

Gaming/Emulating games on the 8 Pro, what's possible?

Happy new year all.
Just thinking of flashing a new ROM and was contemplating what could be possible on current hardware.
The last time I ran a test from top to bottom I hit the ceiling at ps2 emulation but that was dodgy
Anyway, I personally haven't used any of the new emulators for a while so wondered what is currently possible? What have you used? What worked? Or was good?
I know in theory 90% of Wii games should work and everything underneath it, so GameCube, PSP, PSX, N64, Dreamcast, Saturn, 32x, jaguar, arcade, mega drive, SNES, Neogeo.
Any info, ideas, cool stuff,
IMO it all depends on the game.
I play NSMB Wii through dolphin and that works great. But as an example, I can't get Rogue Leader on GC to play on anything except a good GPU on a PC. The Hoth level brings everything to it's knee's and OP8P is no exception.
AetherSX2 is great for PS2 emulation and with a few tweaks seems to play everything very well. I tried shadow of the collosus and Black and both were very playable. Check youtube for how to tweak.
But yea, everything below that seems to work great. Dreamcast, PSP, PS1, Mame. I even managed to get Killer Instinct arcade working throuh retroarch and that worked very well.
You can also play packages for Doom 3 and OG Half Life as well as HL2 and Portal with hacky APK's.

What's NSMB?
Shadow of the colossus? If that's working then that's really really impressive, that absolutely pushed the ps2 to the limit, the use of fog to keep graphics in memory was genius for it's time and to manage to keep the frames up on ps2 hardware.
Cheers will have a look at that ps2 emulator, nice one.
PS:. I've got a guide on how to run PC games with native files
One of the things i've been using for gaming has been this app https://parsec.app/
Pop it on a PC you game on then log in, change some settings then leave that PC alone.
On a second device, android / mac / or other windows device, download the app from the link and install it.
Log in and you can then control the PC you installed it on in the first place, i have to say that the speed of input is really really good, i was massively impressed by the responsiveness and ability to play through games with minimal setup required.
Few things to change.
Set resolution to 1920x1080
Change network to latency / performance
Change network allowed to max / 50Mb
Renderer - DX11
That should work as expected.
I played some PS2 games on my Huawei P30 Pro already.
For the nature of emulation, not every game works. But everything below PS2 and below WII U is probably very enjoyable. Most emulators are open source and are ported to android anyway.
I would say God of War from PS2 is playable on the 8 Pro.
