Absolutely. But as you know n64 emulation is not a guaranteed thing. Milage will vary from emulator to emulator and ROM to ROM.
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] Vidd:
Yes, I'm surprised it can run them at all. :D

Is there a particularly good app for each platform?
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] ÜBER™:
I would suggest googling N64oid.. probably the best emulator there is. I used to play The Legend of Zelda on my Epic 4G with it.. and being such and old device it ran pretty fluidly.. i would expect nothing less on a much more powerful device ;).
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] ridearoundsolo:
Yea if u can find n64oid that's the way to go it is really smooth for the most part and most ROMs seem to work on it too
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] drakenabarion:
I really don't think n64 should be much of a problem on our device - back on my old Celeron 900mhz (yeah long time ago!) I was able to emulate n64 very nicely and that machine wasn't even so great when it came to games. Of course, it depends on emulator quality too.
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] Vidd:
N64oid is much better. I'm not getting the weird flickering errors or the texture errors in the games I tried on the other app.

Thanks. :good:
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] player911:
I use N64oid and it has reliably ran all of my roms no problems.

However it is pretty bare on the options. The video options are only to stretch, which really makes things feel wierd.... there isn't a scale or full screen. Also it only supports 1 controller, which is sad. As good as N64oid runs, I'd love to bring in a second player and battle it out. The N64 WAS the local multiplayer champion of consoles.

Unfortunately Mupen64Plus won't even run. Maybe I'm doing it wrong but I've tested across several devices and options. It just crashes immediately. This one seems like it has the options I'm looking for but pointless if it can't run a single game.

I've seen Youtube clips where people play 2, 3, and 4 player N64 Mario Kart sessions but never any good solid leads on how.

I'm running into 2 problems:

-Getting a device to detect 2 separate controllers with separate button mappings

-An emulator that supports 2+ controllers
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] Nordendorf:
I have Mupen64plus AE (version 1.9.2) on my N7 and it seems to run ok. I've only tried zelda and mario though. Zelda is missing a little bit of geometry & textures here and there, but otherwise runs fine. Mario64 was fine, but I'm only a few worlds in.

About tegra 4... Even if its 6 times faster than t3, doesnt mean that t4 games cant run with full graphics on t3:

If t4 has to power a 2560x1600 pixel scteen, and t3 1280x720, t4 has to render 4,4 times the pixels. So with a little bit ocing all games could work on t3!

Correct me if im wrong :p
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] TDO:
OC will not help you.

The T3 only has a 32 bit single chanel memory interface and the N7 uses the slowest memory - and it is not possible to overclock the memory bus.

The T3 has onyl 8 pixel shaders and 4 vertec shaders (12 shader units)

The T4 has 72 shader units!

A15 vs A9 core.

The T4 is a completely different beast.

(but unfotunately still no unified shaders so it is open if it will support OpenGL ES 3.0 and OpenCL)
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] PVL_93_RU:
Anyways, graphics-heavy games are usually shooters (which are literally unplayable on a touch screen unless you use an actual gamepad) and racing games or infinity blade-ish type of games, and those are pretty unfriendly towards the battery.

And since Tegra 4 is approx. 4 times more powerful than Tegra 3, it can only mean that despite the (probably) newer achutecture (less nanometer processors) - it will drain the battery 4x times faster especially in graphics-heavy games

So what's the profit of having a Tegra 4-equipped beast unless you want to get the most of a tablet's gaming potential?

I see none, apart from purely playing games
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] Nospin:
Enjoy your Nexus 7's. Tegra 4 looks great, but tough it out a year and laugh at all the Tegra 4 owners when you upgrade to a Tegra 5.
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] R3dbeaver:
that's my goal if i am to buy Tegra4. playing games. dont know about the rest of you guys :D

but as far shooters and touchpad, as a PC gamer, i found touch is closer to mouse/keyboard control and i do better with it than with a joypad. i hate the choppy movement of playing shooters on a console with the analog pad. it's nauseating.

"N64.emu is based on Mupen64plus AE and mupen64plus"

Considering that the dev is charging $5 for an old version of FREE software, and reviews for his other apps are horrible, do you think I should use this emulator?

No, I shouldn't. I should be supporting the original project and not throwing money at these asshats taking GPL source for a quick buck. Look above for a link to the better, free, and original project.

Also, seeing how N64oid and Mupen64 are the only original N64 emulators released in the past few years, please take extreme caution when seeing a new, no name emulator that wants you to pay money. ;)
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] Zpithika:

Works for me with N64oid. The only problem I have is mapping the C buttons cause it won't let me set them to the right analogue stick, so have to set them to different buttons. Haven't made a profile though, just assigned buttons to the SixAxis Controller.

So at the moment I want to play "Eternal Legacy" from Gameloft. It crashes very often. To often and randomly to be playable.

I know its not supported for the n7, but it really is the type of game I would like to play right now.

Gameloft have different versions for different phones and tablets. Does anyone know the version that would be most compatible for the n7? I am trying a Tegra version and I tried the Galaxy Tab version. (From how I understand Gameloft, I can download 3 more times).

Has anybody gotten the right analog on the six axis to map on an n64 emulator? Or how to differentiate the left analog from the directional arrows when mapping keys? It sucks on games like wcw vs nwo, because the analog is to taunt, and the arrows taunt and you can't move your character around. I saw a video on YouTube where the guy says he can use the right analog for goldeneye but I have no clue how.

Edit: mupen64 can do it. Does anyone know if n64oid can? Can't figure it out. N64oid has more compatibility as far as games.

You can buy the controller mapper. It has drivers and maps them to keyboard keys. Then you can map those in N64oid. This is how I do it and works great. The mapper program is flaky and can crash at times, but works great when it behaves.

I forget the name if the mapper program. I think it is $5 but nice to have and probably useful in the future.

Has EA addressed how dumb NFS MW plays? If you get a lot of cars in view the game slows down terribly. I'm showing 50FPS but what I'm actually seeing feels like a very smooth slow motion 15fps. Slows down like crap also when approaching a road block. Soon as you past the road block it's back at normal speed. FPS is 50-60 though..

[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] matus201:
Not true. iPhone 4s and up, iPad 2 and up (so mini as well), Galaxy s3 and sometimes even s2 all deliver the graphics in screenshots.

These games are simply not optimized for tegra.. which with the combination with horrible, horrible performance of tegra 3 gpu means that the games look like crap :)
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] t_007_v2:
There is nothing wrong with the tegra3 and the nexus 7 slick. You said it gameloft doesn't optimize for tegra. Games that are optimized look & play better than anything on your icrap.
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] krazeecracker:
Exactly just take a look at madfingergames.
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] Larry94:
Exactly. It's quite easy for Gameloft to optimize for iOS devices since there are so few of them and they all, as far as I know, use PowerVR GPUs. I'm sure they targeted the Galaxy devices for Android due to the overwhelming amount of them out in the wild. (Look at any app review, you're bound to see a Galaxy device in one of the reviews) I will agree with slick that the games do look like the pictures and perform remarkably well. I just bought Modern Combat 4 on my iPod Touch 5th gen last night, and it has all the graphic effects turned on, and even has certain effects that weren't in the modded Android APK. It also runs with absolutely no lag. Pretty much feels 45-60 FPS constantly. :/ This dissapoints me greatly as an avid Android user. Sad that I can't go back to playing a game on my tablet because the experience is so much better on my iPod. I do hope that they optimize it in the future, and that this won't be such an issue with things like the Tegra 4 coming out. (Nexus 7+?)
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] t_007_v2:
That is why people p***** gameloft crap. Why should anyone have to pay full price when their only getting half a product because the developer is LAZY.

Tegra 3 is based on the same GPU architecture from 2004 as the Tegra 2. Only with 4 additional pixel shaders and a little bit better memory interface.

I would when the game actually runs at a decent pace and looks leagues better. I'm absolutely serious. Speaking of NFS, that dips to about 15-25FPS on my Nexus 7.

I use supergnes, works great with six axis. For n64, a couple pages back someone posted a link to the latest mupen64, its awesome. U can use six axis and map every button and analogs. However n64oid has the most compatibility. I use both, seems like n64oid takes longer to load the games though.

[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] matus201:
I have to agree. Don't get me wrong, I love my Nexus 7, but for gaming ios simply wins.

Also I will keep claiming that tegra 3 gpu sucks. Madfingergames has equally stunning games on ios as the tegra optimized, and it was shown that other gpus easily handle all these games. In addition all gpu benchmarks show how weak tegra 3 gpu is. So while gameloft could and should optimize more, they can't overcome problems of weak gpu.

You don't need warez on Android because most of the apps/games are free or have free versions with adware.

I'd rather pay $.99 for an app that gets constantly updated then having to keep warezing the updated apk. Plus there are lots of smaller devs on Android that I don't mind contributing to for something good. Plus once you buy it, it saves in your account to use on your other devices.
