You see, to call a processor alone "the best" is quite ridiculous. Here's an example: The newest AMD FX card (I think the newest is 9790, could be wrong, too lazy to search) + an AMD graphics card is better than an i7 Extreme Edition with an AMD graphics card. Why? Well because it has direct access to the graphics card compared to the i7, thus acquiring better processing speeds. In the end, it all depends on what combo you have.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] czt:
Aha, finally someone who agrees.

Yes, I agree, in terms of gaming, AMD FX + AMD Graphics card is way better. I've also seen APU and even they're better when combined with AMD Graphics cards.

As for processor alone, I've seen the benchmarks and Intel processors these days are faster than AMD but like you said, that raw power alone can't be a good thing.

Those faster processors won't help much in terms of heavy gaming, agreed. Plus there aren't many operations in daily life notebook usage where we can utilize all cores of i7 anyway.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hoholee12:
core series on intel has much superior processing power than amds.

in order to emulate the most complicated processor, you actually need more processing power per core, not more cores.

You need to emulate lots of processor components and they need to be synced perfectly in order to do a proper emulation.

Making use of multiple cores to emulate R5900 isnt happening.(MTVU slows the crap outta my processor because of slow ass bus speed.)

And were talking about emulation, not just a ported game that mainly uses API for everything. We need more cpu power to emulate a ps2 hardware, not with an API. But you will still need good gpu to render stuff, because pcsx2 uses API(directx) for rendering final output.

---------- Post added at 08:29 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:23 AM ----------

also your statement is invalid.

Whats the point when those cards all rely on same pci busses. it doesnt have direct access, and it doesnt work the way you would think it really do.

i play gta III on my android

i am sorry for responding to and old post but i was curious about emulating/porting of certain ps2 games. on the market right now you can find gta III, gta VC, and a bards tale. now i know that gta has been ported to the pc and maybe thats how it was possible to get it to run on a mobile system. (plus the developers are the ones who ported it so im sure having access to their tools helps) My question is, is it possible for emulators to be created on a per game basis. if not, is it legal to port a game over to android assuming its possible?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] damnnew:
I call that fake too.

I think a ps2 emulator for android wont exist cuz of hardware issues
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hoholee12:
developers can port their own games by editing their source codes to work on a particular device or API.

and once the source code is compiled, it is translated to a architecture specific binary code, which we humans cant read anymore.

in order to port the games, they need to have the base source code that had not been compiled yet.

you cant gain access to the source code because its mainly a closed source and does not exist anywhere in the internet.

Emulators translate the binary code to another architecture specific binary code 'realtime' in order to read those codes in a compatible form.

Thats where the 20-30x performance requirement comes from.

Which means emulators do not share a same mechanism with ported games. Those are two entirely different things.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jimlarck:
You're probably looking in the Casual section of the market, there are a few good games out there for Android that match your criteria, for example, Galaxy On Fire 2, is a full fledged game with different missions and a storyline, not to mention superb effects and graphics, then there's the Modern Combat series, 4 being the most recent one, with a campaign mode with several missions, and a Multiplayer mode that is generally safe from hackers. Then there's GTA (III I think), there's Hero Of Many, although it doesn't have a protagonist it's really easy to tell what the story is, beautiful effects, loved the storyline and the soundtrack was amazing. There's probably more like Tale of a Bard, Yesterday(it's more like an interactive movie to me really), and Iruna(MMORPG that reminds you of PC and PS2 games), these are all the games I know and I'm pretty sure there's more games like these, but the point is that it's not true that Android does not have any good games like PS2, to be honest we don't need a PS2 emulator because newer and better looking games are already in the Play Store, you just have to keep looking, the only reason you should really have an excuse to want to play PS2 games on your android is to relive old times.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] torxed:
Main problem is as someone pointed out the fact that consoles (especially early days) were very hardware specific.

The CPU's and circuits were tailored specifically for the sole purpose of supporting the game platform they made.

Another problem is that these emulators tend to be developed on windows code and built as windows binaries, there are some *nix emulators but the vast majority is for Windows which causes some problems porting to an ARM platform.

Playstation 2 and 3 and the Nintendo systems are extremely advanced in terms of the platform they were built on at the time so writing an emulator that can understand the hardware-calls and support all the functionality including the drivers/API's for the social parts will be.. erm hard.

Unfortunately phones and tablets (besides maybe project fiona) are a long way from emulating the ps2 or xbox, and even PC's are a few miles away from emulating the ps3 and xbox 360 so defo a no go there.

I think the architecture of the hardware in these devices has to move significantly forward before there is a even a peep of interest from anyone willing to develop a program for emulating the ps2 or higher.

Sad to be faced with it but it's true.

I think for me it would be exciting more for the new android consoles that are being released (ouya, gamestick, etc) than for a phone... I think it's horrible playing something that's meant to be played on a controller on a flat, feedback-less (except for vibration) screen. I need to feel those buttons, feel the analog stick, feel the triggers, etc. It's just not the same on a screen. Don't get me wrong, playin the android port of GTA3 is fun and all, but i can't get as immersed using the touchscreen for a controller, which takes up already limited screen real estate!

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k1ska:
Wait, you're saying clock speed is the most important role in emulation? I'm sorry, but I have to respectfully disagree on that. Processor architecture plays a FAR more important role than anything. Do you think a 3.6GHz Q6600 is better than a 2.6GHz 3570k (I know, stock is 3.4 but I'm using this comparison for an example of my point)? Honestly, the die size and the efficiency of the processor itself is just way too important to say clock speed makes a difference. Yes, on similar architecture, there's a noticeable difference, but processors change DRASTICALLY in this world especially in mobile devices. I'm not trying to sound rude by any means, but to say clock speed is the most important factor is ignorant at best.

By the way, hyper-threading is only useful in certain situations anyway, it's not meant to be an important feature for every day tasks. Also, more cores do help if the applications for them were written to properly spread the tasks to each core.

From my point of view,I don't think anyone has the guts to develop a fully working ps2 emulator for android(due to time shortages,lack of funds and experience and due to the huge number of discouraging people).I can't blame them since the ps2 is designed to carry "SERIOUS PSYCHOTIC DYSLEXIA" which makes it nearly impossible to emulate.But I believe If someone brave and intellectually clever will make a ps2 emulator for android that will be very optimized and coded far more better than pcsx2,than we may actually have playable experiences on our phones(on 2d games and homebrews at least).But that's only my optimistic opinion.

Why not use a psp? Emulation for most consoles is buggy and awful. Even with a Bluetooth controller the setup is awkward and never as good as the original.

Even Snes Nes and genesis emulation have sound issues when compared directly to the original.

I never really understood the appeal of emulation. Ps2s are super cheap these days. I see a lot of guys on here build godly gaming rigs with billions of dollars put into it and play emulators. That gaming rig costs more than 10x the amount of money of the consoles plus the games.
