What's the advantage to supporting shaders? I thought they were a 3d thing.
[Xperia Play General] bubblegumballoon:
Think of them as a filter that goes on top of the game that can do things like smooth out the graphics a bit so it doesn't look as pixely or anti-aliasing shaders so objects dont have jagged edges. They basically try to make the old games look better. :)

One of my fave shaders for PC emulators is the cartoon shaders for epsxe. They make PS1 games look cel-shaded.

[Xperia Play General] Insane PPC:
awesome post, i've booked marked this one to keep tabs on all the emulators! thumbs up!
[Xperia Play General] CrimsonKnight13:
Search the Android Market & SlideMe, there are more GBA emulators than just one...
[Xperia Play General] bubblegumballoon:
They are all clones of gameboid, but please do post here if you find any that are not clones.

Edit: did find some legitimate ones that were not gameboid clones but they were all pretty terrible. No real advantages over gameboid.

Most of the emulators I post here have some sort of advantage over each other.
[Xperia Play General] CrimsonKnight13:
I did notice that similarity with many of them. Thanks for the list by the way. :)
[Xperia Play General] AndroHero:
Can we not start with this stupid argument again please, snes9x is open source and covered by the GPL. Under the GPL rules there is nothing wrong with people using the source, making there own emulator and charging.
[Xperia Play General] mac_d4di:
Very useful thread would be a good idea to sticky this thread maybe
[Xperia Play General] bubblegumballoon:
I updated the OP, If somebody has used the emulators that say "not tested yet" please post how they perform here plus any advantaged/disadvantages they have over other alternatives.
[Xperia Play General] bubblegumballoon:
Haha that would be pretty cool :)

I dont mind if its stickied but it might be better to wait until I finish it first.
[Xperia Play General] Lono9885:
Very useful info mate. Nice one. Am shocked about nulldce, looked very interesting.

Seeing as there are obviously people on here that know about the emus has anyone had king of fighters 2003 working. If so please could you tel me what emu, version, bios and where you got the Rom. Everyone I've tried has failed. :(

Cheers
[Xperia Play General] AndroHero:
Please don't ask for warez or where you can download them, It's forbidden in the rules, the only roms you can legally use are ones ripped from your own owned games, the same goes for bios's :)
[Xperia Play General] bubblegumballoon:
Yep what Androhero said, you cant ask for roms or bios. Im sure somebody could tell you what emu you need though.

I googled the game and it appears to be for the neo geo and arcades. so you either need a neogeo emulator (I could only find neo geo pocket) or a mame emulator. Ive never played the neo geo or any arcade games so I dont really know what would be the best emulators to use sorry.

Also I really hope NullDCe gets released at some point but by looking at the devs track record that might never happen, he ported his emulator to multiple other consoles including the psp but he never publicly released them.
[Xperia Play General] AndroHero:
Afaik Android Arcade also plays Neo Geo roms :D

[Xperia Play General] bubblegumballoon:

Cons: any downsides

[Xperia Play General] pelly_jelly:
sorry it may be a stupid question, but what do you mean, talking about snes emus, by "C core" or slower core?
[Xperia Play General] bubblegumballoon:
No dont worry its not a stupid question! :) In the options of snesoid you can enable something called the "c core" this enables you to play more games that normally wont work like kirbys super fun pack and some mario games (I forget which) enabling the c core makes the emulator slower than it would normally be but the xperia play has enough power to run it smoothly anyway so its not a big deal.

EDIT: I reworded to OP so the c core part makes more sense.

I am playing mame4droid free from the market and it totally rocks man playing my old time classics and it suport's the play hardware buttons and runs perfect you should add it to the first page.
[Xperia Play General] bubblegumballoon:
I dont own any mame games so it would be illegal for me to get the roms, plus I was never much of an arcade kid anyway so I wouldn't know what games to pick.

You sound like you know your mame stuff though so if you want you could fill this out and I could add it to the OP. :)

Cool post. Bookmarked :D
[Xperia Play General] bubblegumballoon:
Thanks :)

Im adding stuff slowly haha.
[Xperia Play General] harlzden:
bubblegumballoon u might wanna add

emulator name :Mame4Droid

Cons: NO SAVE STATE

i cant think of a saving solution tried titanium freezing,

mamedroid could possibly be the best emulator, but save state hampers it and the developer has explicitly said the emulator is written in such a way save state wont be supported.
[Xperia Play General] jutley:
I just love playing rastan back in the old school days and now i can play them again mame4droid can't be beaten even though it don't have save state.
[Xperia Play General] metcard:
Tiger Snes seems to be the best snes emu that i've used

It's fast, audio is clear and it just works™
[Xperia Play General] bubblegumballoon:
Thanks, thats a pretty big con since pretty much every other emulator has save states. Even if you dont use them they are still nice to have.

Added to the OP btw thanks.
[Xperia Play General] bubblegumballoon:
I forgot about the tiger emulators! Is there any way to get them anymore since they were removed from the market?

Does the dev have a website or something.
[Xperia Play General] Atarii:

STOID

An Atari ST emulator that brings back some very fond memories of 24-hour gaming sessions on Voodoo Nightmare, Supercars, Midwinter and Treasure Island Dizzy.

I literally played until my eyes bled as a child; and 20 years later I feel a relapse coming on...

Pros: Has so far played just about every ST game I've loaded with no glitches. Easy to set up.

Cons: You'll need a soft keyboard complete with an esc key, function keys etc. to emulate the ST keyboard for some games. No big deal.

Save/Load button could be laid out better.

Comments: Well worth the £1.44 if you dig ST games and that unforgettable sound.

Link: Android Market
[Xperia Play General] AndroHero:
IMO it's not a big con, end of the day thats how arcade games were ment to be played, who ever saved there game at the arcade? :D

Sorry couldnt resist but stoids sounds like something you catch off a dirty girl :D
[Xperia Play General] bubblegumballoon:
Thanks added it to the OP, I put it under the other emulators section until more get added for that particular console. :)
[Xperia Play General] bubblegumballoon:
I know but we are talking about emulator features and its better to have more than less, Its like the argument between 4:3 and 16:9 aspect ratios for retro games, some people like the original 4:3 and some like the games to fill their screen, its totally a personel preference.

In this guide im trying to stick to facts more than opinions. :)

And yes when I heard that name I instantly thought of std haha :P
[Xperia Play General] kp432:
Neo geo emulator?
[Xperia Play General] dataDave:
TigerMAME does a perfect job of playing both Neo Geo and CPS1+2 roms. Turn the sound on however and things begin to skip and jump. I hope this is being looked at.

I'll give a full review later.

I use GenPlusDroid for my Sega Genesis ROMs. The icon and UI seem like something from a late 90s website but it's the beat Genesis emulator I've ever used.
[Xperia Play General] kevpuk:
GenPlusDroid works fine for me with Aladdin :D
[Xperia Play General] jutley:
Here are the best of the bunch tried and tested.

FPSE : PSONE Emulator

Mame4Droid : Mame Emulator

N64oid : Nintendo 64 Emulater

MD.emu : Megadrive Emulator

SNesDroid : Supernes Emulator

ZeusArena : Quake3 Arena
[Xperia Play General] bubblegumballoon:
I prefer the .emu emulators to the droid emulators but I noticed the .emu emulators have a tiny amount of input lag from physical keys. I didnt put this is the cons though since the dev said this is being fixed soon.
[Xperia Play General] juxtapose519:
This thread needs more emulators!

Aside from my SNES emulator, ScummVM is the most fun I've had on my Play so far.

Emulator: ScummVM

Pros: Smooth emulation, save states, free.

Cons: Right clicking is tricky, but it's rarely needed.

Link: https://market.android.com/details?id=org.scummvm.scummvm

On a side note, does anyone know of a DOS emulator that supports the touchpads?
[Xperia Play General] persain:
Other Emulators: (Atari 2600)

Ataroid

Pros: Free, fast emulation, games supported all Atari 2600

Cons: Havent spotted any (Does lack of old school joystick count?)

Link: where to get it : http://slideme.org/application/ataroid
[Xperia Play General] gbesta:
Emulator: ColEm - Colecovision Emulator

Pros: Good game support, saves state on exit and you can restart from where you were next time.

Cons: The ad version is annoying, but there is a paid version available

Link: Android Market

Emulator: fMSX - MSX Emulator

Pros: MSX, MSX2 and MSX2+ emulation

Cons: None so far

Link: Android Market

Emulator: PCE.emu - PCEngine emulator

Pros: Just works. Saves position on exit. No slowdown or audio glitches on my xperia play.

Cons: None so far

Link: Android Market

I am unable to post links as a new user. They are all on the standard market app.

Also add TigerArcade to the front page. It's well worth highlighting
[Xperia Play General] bubblegumballoon:
Thanks for all the emulators guys I added them to the opening post. I gave you all credit under each emulator you added so people dont think I wrote them.
[Xperia Play General] ff7fan4eva:
ScummV isn't a SNES emulator it belongs in others, Just to add to existing ones i've been experimenting with slowdowns/audio glitches etc and here's a couple of pointers

SNESDroid runs well on most games but to get 100% emulation with no audio crackles (audio stretch set to 0) on menus etc you HAVE to overclock to at least 1.9ghz, which could be a con, but the upside is it's the most accurate emulation (sound/video) of all games that can run on snes9x (PC program)
[Xperia Play General] bubblegumballoon:
Ops my bad, I put it in the right place. And yes I agree snesdroid is the best in terms of accurate emulation but its having to overclock that high means your battery will brain much faster, not really a big deal if you have your charger with you though.
[Xperia Play General] xrishox:
this deserves a sticky!
[Xperia Play General] bubblegumballoon:
I havent checked the state of emulation for a while but it seems that there are new vids of nullDCe (they were made in november but havent had many views) so it seems the dreamcast emulator might not be dead. However to dev has a tendency to create ports but keep them to himself.

Hopefully we will see it released one day.

[Xperia Play General] garcimak:
Great topic, thanks.

ScummVM is one of my favourite on android, too, just to say that

there is a tweaked fork from Lubomyr with nice control scheme but no touchpad support.

where to get it : http://anddev.at.ua/load/scummvm_svn55436/1-1-0-7

not tested,

Vice C64 2.3.13

Also, i am pretty new on android, there is slight stuttering with the sound even OC with no frameskip, egg. Md.emu or snes9x returning from menu, since supercharger v6. It takes a while going smooth. I'm wondering if it is not due to the system itself and the way of managing its process. Any advice would be welcome.

Hi I'm probably not alone in buying this phone just to play emulated games. This was a very useful topic.

Is it just me or does TENCHU stall in between the intro and the title screen using Fpse?

Any help would be appreciated thanks.
[Xperia Play General] beez1717:
Do I dare mention OnLive and the fact that it now has a few Genesis games on it now? The cons are that you may get some lag, and you may not get picture perfect graphics, but I would expect that when you are streaming the game over the Internet. And $9.99/month? I think it's worth it, but hey, it might not be for everyone.

however im pretty sure that mupen64plus ae does not have fast forward and slowdown features....if it does can someone point them out for the Xperia Play version.
[Xperia Play General] fvig2001:
I think some of you forgot cpsemu (I think this was released in xda-developers like mupen64). If you put SCUMMVM, you might as well put gemrb since they are both interpreters.

NESoid and Nes.emu too fast on HD2

Hey all!

I was trying to run NES.emu and nesoid on my HTC HD2 and it works, however the games are running too fast, you can notice it in sounds and also gameplay becomes immensely hard. I tried to clock my CPU down (which seemed as nonsense in the first place, but I was trying all) and worked through all sorts of option settings combination and nothing helped. I tried to use the fast forward with an 0.5x speed but that was too slow.

I would be happy to run this somehow; is it possible to do some modifications on my own to run this, or is this some sort of uncommon situation with me ending up throwing emulators away? Thanks for replies.
[Xperia Play General] Mega5657:
GBA netplay !

It seems that the emulator "LalaGBA" in the Google Play store advertises netplay in its description. I've got a copy of the app, it runs games at a somewhat slow frame rate but it does have netplay options in the menu.

I haven't tested the netplay yet but if it works this is great for the android scene as I haven't seen a GBA emulator on Android with netplay yet.

It costs 1.99 in the Google Play store.
[Xperia Play General] crono141:
FYI, both FPSE and N64oid have touchpad support as long as you are running an ICS rom.
[Xperia Play General] Dilemina:
I didn't see neo.emu on there, and it kicks ass. The emulation is much better than neodroid, but ya gotta pay, and the games that came out after 2000 are not yet compatible.

But seriously the emulation speed is super sweet, Mark of the wolves, and Last Blade play awesomely!
[Xperia Play General] tmovids:
Update FPSE description to include the fact it now has touchpad support for ICS! :)

Also gearoid (game gear emulator) should be added, and maybe CPSEmu (capcom CPS2 emulator) though the latter isn't very good

Updated emulator list

I do not know if these were listed yet and i know this discussion is rather old but they have come out with many new emulators as of 2014 i do not know if this ons is a clone of Gameboid emulator but in my experiences the best emulators I found was MyBoy for GBA emulator that supports netplay and emulates a gba link cable allowing you to use more than 1 gba on 1 emulator and supports shaders. It runs at incredible high speeds and runs all ROMS if not most. And as of the best emulator for PS1 I would have to say epsxe it runs at a very high speed and has very few flaws. The best PSP Emulator for me is PPSSPP and for NDS Emulator Drastic DS works the best out of all of them. As for an N64 Emulator I use N64oid. You can not find it in regular markets anymore so you would have to use a black market suck as aptoide market. I guess everyone has their own different experiences depended on what they are using to play the emulators on and what settings they are using but these are the Android Emulators I found that work best for me on regular default settings on a Samsung Galaxy Note 1 running Android 4.2.2
[Xperia Play General] Guidolinleo:
All the emulators are superb, but the RetroArch is the best emulator in my view, am not sure about that. But these are great.

You need to remove HTC sync it stop revolutionary from running
