[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] silmes:
Hi!

I have been playing a lot of emulators on PC during the years. But is right now thinking of buying an Xperia Play, because I understand that it´s quite a nice phone. It´s on quite a sale in scandinavia right now, so I might be getting one during the week.

I would however like some input for some questions, and would be thankful if someone would take their time to answer them for me.

1. I have problems finding a reliable compatibility list for PSX-gaming. Three of the games that I really itch to play are "Alundra", "Final Fantasy Tactics" and "Legend of Mana". Can someone please enlighten me how these games will run on a Xperia Play?

2. I also have a question about other emulators. Will SNES & Genesis-emulators run lag-free on an Xperia Play?

Thank you for reading (and maybe answering) .
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fußbodenheizung:
The Xperia Play is really awesome for playing games in emulators. The only problem is that most of them don't support the touchpad.

These are the emulators I've tried:

NESoid

SNESoid - completely lag-free, to answer your question

N64oid (sometimes a bit laggy)

GBCoid - gameboy color emulator

GameBoid - GBA emulator

FPse - PSX emulator

Unfortunately neither of these support the touchpad. And for PSX games I actually prefer FPse to the official PSX emulator that comes with the Play, because, while the official one supports the touchpad (very nicely, might I add), it is a bit buggy with most games that aren't available officially for it.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Robson:
not sure about genesis as i haven't tried it yet. snes is no problem as is gameboy/advance/colour. on the psx side of things, you could try fpse or psxdroid for emulators. you would need the roms for those games you want as well as the bios file. or, you could also convert the roms of those games to work via the play's playstation pocket app. the pre-installed crash bandicoot game will give you an idea of how smooth it is once converted using the psxperia tool.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CloudShepherd:
This is a magnificent device for emulators. Nuff said
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gertman:
I have emulators for Yongzhi's emulators for:

-Gameboid - GamBoy Advance

-SNEWSoid - Super Nintendo

-Gensoid - Genesis

-FPse - PSX

-N64oid - N64

And they all work flawlessly and are availble at the SlideMe market for FREE except for the N64 and PSX emulators. The PSX emulator is avaible on the Android Market and works on a lot of games but of course not all of them. I would suggest you visit the FSpe forum to find out which specific games work for the Play.

The N64 emulator is available from the SlideMe market for I think 2 bucks. I works okay with some games but is still be updated. Also u can try the open source one but I forget what it's called. I think it's on the XDA forum somewhere.

Almost every instance on using this phone in public, people either stop and stare or they ask questions. It isn't like I'm trying to bring attention to myself but everyone is always asking if that is the new note. I leave it on my desk at work and whenever people come into my office, I'm asked about it and they want to doodle with the stylus. I hope this interest turns into more sales so that Samsung is prompted to come out with more phones in this line in the future. I simply refuse to go to any other phone now.

:D
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] jpeg42:
If you watched any basketball this weekend, the commercials were constant. They certainly seem to expect good sales:

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] lindenhurst:
If you seek attention, I'm sure you will find it.

Seems as if you either walk around waving this phone in the air or you are doing something to draw attention to yourself.

Its only a phone dude!

I get a kick out of these type of threads. I used to read them on the iPhone forums and laugh, but it seems the same type of people are here as well.

Probably a bit of an underage issue a well.

I've been using the latest phones and tablets for awhile now and have never had anyone come up to me and ask me about any of them . Those that say they constantly have people coming up to them at obviously seeking attention.

Remember...a phone does not make you cool
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] bigmout:
I have both asked and been asked by strangers about phones I've owned. Perhaps people don't ask you because you give off a bad vibe, or smell bad, or something.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] ScooterG:
I smell bad but still get asked about my Note.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Orange_furball:
I got the note cause I'm fat and needed a big keyboard. So far the only ones to ask me about it are my close friends. Never have I had someone cone up to me or stare at me because of this phone.

Sent from my Galaxy Note on At&t
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] SKyRocKeting727:
Lol i got approached by a stranger the first day i got it at in & out burger. Whenever i play draw something with the s-pen, thats when people start to stare and i could hear em saying wow and omg thats a huge...(insert joke here). But put this phone next to your ear and you get strange looks.

-Once you go NOTE, you'd say 4 inches a Joke
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] alexige:
I had my phone out at Nordstroms looking at Google shopper for shoes I wanted. The salesman there asked if it was and I've probably been asked over a dozen times if its the note or wow that's huge what is it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] welchertc:
Your comment seems quite underage. Just because some people have strangers asking them about devices and you don't doesn't mean they are lying or looking for attention.

Really only a few devices in the recent past, such as the Droid RAZR, have received as much media attention and advertising as the Note, so all of your latest tablets and phones have likely not drawn the same attention from the general public. Therefore you cannot compare them to the Note.

I do not show off my phones, I use them. With my Captivate, I received no comments from strangers. With my Infuse, I had a couple, but only from people familiar with Android that were curious what brand and model it was. With the Note, same use and everything, I have received more comments and attention than the whole time I had both of my previous phone, in just two weeks. Dude in line at Chipotle, girl employee at Home Depot, several people I have never talked to in my classes here at college. This phone is turning heads whether you are looking for attention or not, so don't be a downer because nobody finds you approachable.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] StarLog:
You guys are so funny, thought this would never happen to me.

Went to get my drugs at the pharmacy, and the 3 people behind the counter all came over to look at it and touch it, they asked the same questions. Yes it fits in my shirt pocket, and I let them try it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] AllGamer:
i don't know about the Advertising

but after using it hands on for a few days I'm addicted, it's so hard to get back to my T989
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] eghoti1:
I get a lot of looks, and some comments. mostly "is that a phone???", "is that the one with a pen?", or "Is that the Super Bowl phone?" (referring the commercials played at the Super Bowl).

I have a gold metallic case on it so most of the time it looks like I am carrying a huge gold bar. Funny the looks I get.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] jblaze5779:
I get asked about it all the time. I'll just be sitting on the train or at the bar or something and I guarantee someone will ask about it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Mike's Aria:
It's definitely not the advertising. It's the fact that it's a larger phone. I used a Dell Streak for 1.5 years and got the same type of comments about it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] lindenhurst:
Not worth the time to comment but I will anyway. I use my phone for business, not playing games. I don't "play" with it while waiting in a food line, nor do I walk around with it like it is a trophy. Many here do. That is obvious. As far as being "approachable", I am not looking for strangers to come up to me and ask about my phone, and I certainly don't want them "touching" it. The reason I even responded to this post was because the OP stated that the Note exuded a "coolness' factor. That certainly tells me how old he or she is.

We all grow up someday. Some of us a bit later I guess.

Give it time.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] pappyfire:
I also use my phone for business, not playing games. The only time games get played on my Note is when I let one of my grandchildren use it to keep them occupied. Nor do I walk around with it like it is a trophy as you put it. That being said, I still think it has a 'coolness' factor and yes, I have been asked about it in public. I spend a great deal of time on the phone when out - isn't that kind of the point to have a cell? If I didn't want to talk on the phone outside the office, I wouldn't carry it. I really do not mind people asking about it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] s1mpd1ddy:
phone is awesome and everyone knows it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] StarLog:
You sure know how to wash down a party. I am a network admin for a defense contractor, so it is needed for work, and I do not just go waving it around looking for attention. If I want attention, I talk to my wife.

Glad your so boring.

The lame response by lindenhurst has inspired me to share.

Story#1 (2 weeks ago)

I attended my wife's induction into the honor society for her university yesterday afternoon. There were 16 inductees and we all socialized a bit before the ceremony began. I was to pin my wife so I quickly made nice with the couple that sat next to us and asked if they would mind tag teaming on getting pics of the pinning action. All was set. If you could have seen the look on the face of the guy (and others around us). When I pulled out my Note... He said "what is that!?!? ". Of course, I took the opportunity to demonstrate the wonders of the Note to him as his amazement grew. After he got a chance to handle it and snap a few pics of us during our part of the ceremony he was hooked. His wife looked at me and said "I guess he's found a new toy now.. I can see it in his eyes".. I just laughed and went about my business. He had an iPhone. :-)

Story#2 (last week)

So I venture into my local Best Buy to return an item. As I am standing at the return counter waiting for the guy to process my return, I am typing away in facebook and fully engaged on my Note. The young girl behind the counter next to him said "Wow. Is that the Note? I want to get one so badly. My mom won't let me but I am going to figure out a way to get one. I love that phone." I then let her hold it because she was so starstruck with it.. Really... I laughed inside.

This phone has gets a lot more attention from people around then anything else that I have owned, including having all iPhones from launch day, iPhone 4 comes pretty close, but literally a lot of people come and talk about it, and I dont mind, and I'm not an attention seeker either.

@lindenhurst you need to cool down a bit, with the kind of comments you posted, you dont sound like someone who is approachable either, so if people dont approach you its not because your phone, its because of you. And I haven't got any games on my phone either.

[General Questions and Answers] Archer:
You can flash a stock ROM for your region and then Kies should recognise that.

Here are stock ROMs...

[General Questions and Answers] adilliano:
but why my phone doesnt it gets updated via kies?like if my bro send me a phone from uk.should i send the phone back for updates?
[General Questions and Answers] Archer:
You don't need to send your phone anywhere to get it updated - there must be another reason why Kies won't update it. Have you ever flashed a custom ROM or firmware?
[General Questions and Answers] adilliano:
actually it was locked here and i went to a shop to unlock it.it has siyah kernel and i guess it was flashed once for unlocking.
[General Questions and Answers] adilliano:
and how to get back the custom ROM etc if it was flashed?
[General Questions and Answers] adilliano:
yes i did flash custom firewre and ROM.let mee send u the snapshot of it.
[General Questions and Answers] Archer:
You cannot use Kies to update your ROM if you have a custom ROM. It will only work if you have the correct branded or unbranded ROM as per my first post.
[General Questions and Answers] adilliano:
i am from Pakistan.

so can you tell me which ROM is for my area.please if you know.paste the link below.thanks.

No updates via kies

Hi All ,

I gave my phone to samsung people for EFS or IMEI Problem .

They updated my phone to same version 2.3.6 I was already on it .

and now when I am connecting my phone to kies for ICS update its saying

"Your phone does not support updates via kies":(:(:(

Never rooted..
[General Questions and Answers] blint182:
the product code of your phone has changed, to be exact the country code in the phones product code. you will need the IMEI number and your country code to switch it.

you can check your current product code

*2767*4387264636#

1. get your country code from fus.nanzen.se

scroll down to presets and search for you country/provider check the product code. the last three letters are your country code.

Create a backup before proceeding it will wipe your data and reboot your phone.

2. To change your country code (IMEI = your phone IMEI number, you can get your IMEI by typing *#06#)

*#272*IMEI#

You will have a list of available codes to choose from. install the one which applies to your country.

1] Pimp My Rom Theme

2]Best kernal ;)

you can view the bootanimation from below :D :D .[making flashable bootanimation zips ;) till then you can view the animations and vote for it ;) ]

So in short there is no X.zip as i had told you before (see in the code box below if you didnt read it before) there is only Y.zip .. (Your.zip)

so go on m hearing :D ;)

Request to sense users .. dont ask me to give all the tweaks of cm in to sense..

thats not possible for me.. but if you want an alternative i will suggest you some apps you may use it as system apps for the tweaks.. ;)

hey guys,
m cooking a rom which is just about to finish,
just gonna clean up things and bits , put some nice wallpapers and integrate an oc kernal..
my total idea of making this rom is to satisfy each ones need that will be done with two files X.zip and Y.zip
where X.zip will remain the same (which will be cooked and then changed according to what i feel might be correct reading the ideas of what you will post{as this is your rom its obv i will read your ideas thorougly} )
and Y.zip will be a second flashable zip which i will make one for each user using my rom. Y.zip wil be fully customizable and i wil mod it according to your need..
the cooking of y.zip will start from 3rd april but the X.zip will be completed till 1st april..
So guys here we go, you can post your ideas, ny changes advices nything you wish its all yours and dont be affraid to ask noob questoins.. ;) i being a chef do ask noob questions sometimes so i totally understand you..
MoST IMPORTANT I DONT HAVE A NAME FOR THIS ROM>>
PLzz do give name to this rom ;) even that is in your hand ... the best 4 will be choosed and then a poll wil be done.. till then it will remain X.zip ;)

Go on

Loads Of Bootanimation​

NOw the PIMP(which means mod) in this bootanimation is..

there is a file named android_audio.mp3 in your root directory (not the in the zip)

what did i do for myself told my gf to record her voice saying

"Hello, Welcome to the journey of WILDFIRE S"

(yeah it feels amazing when you hear your gf/bf's voice.. )

and then converted into mp3 format and then renamed it to android_audio.mp3

and then flashed it..

So if you wish to do the same.. you can do so by the following methods.

1.

Open the flashable zip file.. go into system/customize/resource folder you will a bootanimation.zip drag your android_audio.mp3 there and then flash the zip file.. :D

2.

copy your android_audio.mp3 to sd card.. and then with a root explorer go to /system/customize/resource and delete the present android_audio.mp3 and then paste yours there..

I Dont know the proper name of that android_audio.mp3 it might be something else i doubt it.. will confirm it and let you know..

These zips are flashable.. flash direct from recovery..

Sounds like a good idea, but will it be custom on a user to user basis? Or just everyone votes on what's in it?

I think .sense is a good example. Along with the aroma installer script you can include as many configurations as you want. No need to do a survey what to include. Just include everything the users propose at let them decide what to install.
[HTC Wildfire S] mhrsolanki2020:
I will be making two flashable zip the first zip will be the Rom n second zip will b the theme or costomization that the user wish..

In the first zip aroma will b there .. but aroma let's the user select the settings only once to change them the user will have to flash the Rom again n this might corrupt the user.data.. so I will b making second zip on request ..
