Alright guys, I tried Marvel vs Capcom 2 again after Asus has updated the GPU drivers while installing the latest version of Reicast (Dreamcast emulator ). At the beginning before the update, the gameplay wasn't as good as I thought. But then after the update, a shocking Improvement caught my eye and I was so impressed that the ZenFone 2 has this much potential for emulation. I made a video of gameplay for you guys to watch and give your opinion on this.

Note: if you did not know what the yellow number was, its the FPS. Keep in mind that the ZenFone variant I use is the 2GB version, so imagine what it would be like for the 4GB version.:D

Edit: I'll upload the video as soon as I find out how to do that. For now here are some screen shots!

Edit: Sorry guys I can't post the video, but I can upload more screenshots:thumbup:

Has anybody tried the GameCube emulator to see if Super Smash bros Melee runs at 30 to 40 fps

How's the FPS mid-battle? I was getting ~40 fps in the menus as well on my 4gb ZE551ML

but it was dropping to about 20 fps in game
[ZenFone 2 General] troy5890:
In the menu part I got 50 fps. It dropped to 36 to 42 fps during mid battle. It keeps fluctuating.

so the 2.3 ghz zf2 runs gamecube well? or is it not playable like... air kirby for instance
[ZenFone 2 General] troy5890:
It's possible for the 4GB version to run GameCube as well. I don't know how the performance would differ from the 2GB version but I say that there's a slight increase in performance. I ran GameCube on the ZE550ML model and the fps was 15 to 30. During the menu in super smash bros Melee, Meleethe fps was up to 38 fps.

Yes, you can use a Ps3 controller to play the Ppsspp emulator!:D:thumbup: but you can use the virtual controller that is implemented into the emulator its self. If you need help getting started with using the Ps3 controller. Just hit me up and I'll be sure to help out. Cheers!:cool::thumbup:

I wouldn't say that it runs fully speed, but it runs at least at 40 to 54 fps. God of war fluctuates fps to at least 52 fps. Tekken 6 runs 60 fps on main menu, then in different stages its drops to 48 fps or 50. :D:)

I'm glad to help out Donnabelmartie. Let me know your experience on playing tekken 6. Those settings should be really helpful when playing. If you have the 2.3Ghz, then you should have a slight increase in performance with tekken 6 then. Especially when you overclock your CPU.;):cool:.

I can confirm that with my 2.3 Ghz + 4GB unrooted Zenfone I can play pretty much every psp game I've thrown at it, to my surprise, with just a little tweaking I was able to play Final Fantasy Type-0 almost at full speed or at least at a very playable speed, and that's counting all the effects during battles and the large amount of units on the field.

So far very impressed with this phone.

Other games I've tried:

Monster Hunter Freedom Unite: Full Speed.

The 3rd BirthDay: Almost Full Speed with some hiccups.

Crisis Core: Full Speed (Near Perfect)

Monster Hunter Portable 3rd: Almost full Speed, slight FPS drop in some parts of the village, but the rest very smooth.

Legends of Heroes: Trails in the Sky: Full Speed.

When I say full speed I'm talking about 28 - 30 FPS (which is the fps cap of the games anyways)

Hi,

Can somone try those dreamcast games:

Unreal Tournament

Quake III

Counter-Strike

Sonic

Need4Speed Most Wanted

Is there a gamecube emulator? e.g. NBA Street and FIFA Street

Would be crazy to play those good old days games on a cellphone that fits your pocket :angel:

btw The Z3580 is able to deliver ~140GFlops on the GPU alone. Here is common consoles GFlops:

The following table lists the FLOPS in consoles:

Xbox | CPU: 1.5 GFLOPS | GPU: 5.8 GFLOPS | Combined: 7.3 GFLOPS

Xbox360 | CPU: 115 GFLOPS | GPU: 240 GFLOPS | Combined: 355 GFLOPS

XboxOne | CPU: 112 GFLOPS | GPU: 1310 GFLOPS | Combined: 1422 GFLOPS

Dreamcast | CPU: 1.4 GFLOPS | GPU: 0.1 GFLOPS | Combined: 1.5 GFLOPS

Wii | CPU: 60 GFLOPS | GPU: 1 GFLOPS | Combined: 61 GFLOPS

PS2 | CPU: 6 GFLOPS | GPU: 0 GFLOPS | Combined: 6 GFLOPS

PS3 | CPU: 218 GFLOPS | (GPU: 1800 GFLOPS) | (Combined: 2018 GFLOPS)

PS4 | CPU: 102 GFLOPS | (GPU: 1843 GFLOPS) | (Combined: 1945 GFLOPS)

Its possible with skilled coding to create a

PS2

and an

Xbox

emulator for the Zenfone 2.

For a PC comparaison, my AMD 290X GPU runs around 6000GFlops while the AMD 295X2 scores ~12000GFlops :eek:

GTA is always slow unless you have high-end PC. Its because of 1) Very heavy on memory as it loads very big maps. 2) Poor optimizations. Even on my PS3 it was slower than other games, anyway, PC always run games smoother.

I had a 7870 ATI and GTA V was not fluid. They required 7870 and 8Gb RAM. I cannot even enable full details and settings because my GPU was 2Gb so I bought a 290X 4GB. Even then, its using 3.5Gb VRAM from the GPU at 1080P, forget about 4K UHD.

PSP works fine

3rd Birthday works fine using PPSSPP , albeit I did experience some minor slowdowns but I guess I just have too many running apps when I played it. I'm using the 4/2.3/64 model.

Also ran Dungeon Siege, ZHP, Tekken and Ys Seven. All smooth as butter, albeit 3rd birthday is the only graphic intensive in the bunch. Still, I am surprised at how smooth the gameplay was.

Playing with the touch controls is difficult though, especially for 3rd birthday. Has anyone tried a hardware controller for ZF2?

I finally found a native free Quake III Arena version in the playstore since the game is open source: QIII4A https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.n0n3m4.QIII4A&hl=en

Its maxing the screen's 60fps limit as there is 0 stutter or lag. Anything past that, you will note see any benefits since the Display itself is limited to 60Hz.

My settings are 1280*720 with 4x Anti-Aliasing. I did not try the 16x AA since its impossible to tell the difference beyond 4x on a 5.5'' screen.

btw I am using the Mega N64 emulator to play Super Mario 64 and the PPSSPP emulator to play Sonic Rivals. Speed is Amazing.

I did find the native Quake III graphics way better and lagless. So if you can find your game in the playstore and can afford it if its paid, its better to get the Android version, if not, use the best reviewed emulators and game roms.

p.s: I never seen such quality graphics and lagless experience with a cellphone game. I owned a G2 and a G3 ; it was never at that level. I think its because the free open source (free GPL) OpenGL Quake III files are extremely optimized and are based on linux x86_64 architecture. e.g. Intel Android is linux based.

*Using Project T SSE4.2 Kernel with CPU@2.33Ghz and GPU@533Mhz performance governors

If someone wants to build a new game or new maps with the linux x86_64 optimized source code, here it is: http://ioquake3.org/ The paid unoptimized version is from Steam but the better free optimized version is very similar and can be downloaded for free on all platforms.

Waiting on Linux 64 bit Unreal Tournament 4 (UE4) to become official as there is already beta versions working. Of course its fo PC lol Maybe there will be an Anroid or ported version.

Just need to get a decent build and games for it. All my other emulators seem to work. I was happy to get ocarina of time working. Also the best emulators for genesis, nes, snes, etc?

[ZenFone 2 General] DrGit:
None of them work, by design. Getting an older 32-bit ARM build of Dolphin to install, let alone run, requires libhoudini, and emulating the GC/Wii inside an ARM emulator(!) at playable speeds is beyond unrealistic. For a native x86 build of Dolphin to run, two things (three?) need to happen. Dolphin doesn't currently build the x86 JIT compiler for Android because Lollipop requires code to be built with PIC enabled - see this forum thread: https://forums.dolphin-emu.org/Thread-why-there-isn-t-the-x86-64-recompiler-in-dolphin-mobile. Also, 32-bit x86 support was removed from Dolphin a while back, and the ZenFone 2, despite having a 64-bit processor, runs 32-bit Android. So unless/until the ZF2 gets a 64-bit upgrade or Dolphin gets PIE support, don't bother.
