What are some emulators you guys are using for your Atrix, for what games, what systems, etc. I'm going to start trying a ton but thought I'd fire up a conversation here on which emulators people prefer (if any for that matter) lol.
I use oid emus like gameboid (although they're not in the market anymore, I installed it with an apk) but it works great and can overclock... the Nintendo DS ones I use always seem to lag but works ok. By the way these are for Pokemon and Zelda games. They don't eat up too much power either, at least in my opinion. About 20%/hour of constant use.

Psx4droid running ff7, ff8 and ff9 gorgeously. Save states are awesome and the memcard files (.mmc) if renamed are compatible with epsxe on the computer

I've used Gameboid, psx4droid, and Snes9x ex, All with a Sixaxis(ps3) controller, and its extremely good if you like to play games in an emulator. All of those work pretty good, with out lag, too!
i cannt for the life of me get psx for droid to work any suggestions or pointers
im using 3.07

What DS Rom are you using? I cant seem to find one that works at all...
Gameboid is the best GBA emulator in my opinion. You cannot get it from the market anymore. But do a Google search and you can install it from an .Apk.

I'm using Gensoid, Snesoid, Gameboid and FPSE (psx4droid won't run Legend of Mana..........)
GameBoid, N64oid, Nesoid, Snesoid
I use the bluetooth Wiimote app and it works great.
Wiimote classic for N64 and Snes
and for gameboy and nes i use just the wii mote rotated.
Apologies if this has been covered, looked but didn't find anything-
Anywhoo, dont feel like going through trial/error with diff emulators, just want some votes on best/most stable emulators for our X2- NES, SNES, ect.

Emulators I use:
PSX: FPse
N64: N64oid
NES: NESoid
SNES: SNesoid
Genesis: Gensoid
MAME: Tiger Arcade
No emulator junkie would be happy without the use of an actual controller so I use Sixaxis Controller with all of the above.

Couldn't agree more, L2. I have several of those and they are awesome. Still got to get on that SixAxis though (tried to buy one the other day but it was wireless 2.4GHz, not bluetooth), wii-mote still not functioning with these emulators.

Have you tried Wii Controller IME? I used to use that and it worked for me, but I find using a sixaxis controller to be all around better. Of course you can use Wii Controller IME with the classic controller if connected to the wii mote, but that's just more clutter.

On other devices, I preferred SNES9X EX because it was free and open-source (same developer released it for iOS on Cydia, and webOS). It was pulled from the Market but can still be downloaded here:
http://www.explusalpha.com/home/snes9x-ex/downloads
Not sure how it works on the X2, as I don't have any games with me.
thx for the links but for some reason i cannot get that six axis controller to work ,,, do you have a guide
I'm pretty sure they never got six axis working on the x2 there is a thread here somewhere you can read up on

Ive got NESoid GENsoid and N64oid. Plenty of games too. I was playing some on my friend's TV the other day and they were jealous how smooth my tweaked out X2 played the games compared to theirs. I know 1 of them has a rooted Thunderbolt, idk bout the other one.

I finally got a game to work on Tiger Arcade. But it doesnt fill the whole screen. Is that just how it is on the Droid X2?

Sorry, misread your question. I wouldn't say gbcoid is optimized for tablet screens as the virtual controller button placement could be a hindrance at times. Aside from that [very] minor occasional inconvenience, it's very playable. Especially because you can change the Scaling of the screen to fit your preference.
*If you have a bluetooth controller, I imagine it would be 100% perfect.

I use my bt keyboard and it works great I use 64 and nes emulators
Would you like to play PSX games?
I'm using here FPSe emulator, and dude, it reeeeally works. I recommend it to you if you're a Final Fantasy saga fan like me
Remember to download the BIOS, so you can save your game progress as if you had a memory card.. etc.
You should give it a try, trust me.
good luck bro.

Hey can you tell me the steps to get FPse working? i got the app and i installed the bios file. is there any like a specific place to save the bios file?
as for roms. do u have to do any steps? or just download from the site as a .bin file and copied it onto ur tablet? i copied the .bin file onto my tablet but FPse can't find it.
FPse. Since the last update added dual core optimization ... well everything just works, in fact it works TOO fast - I had to frame limit all my games and I had turned on all the tweaks. Tekken III runs beautifully. Additionally the sixaxis bluetooth controller works great with it.
Anyone getting random FCs while playing a game? Mine just exits to home every so often and it's rather annoying. If it happened to you and you found a fix please post!
not sure about that emulator but snesoid has been running flawlessly for me so far.

Yes, that's the one.
I've had a bunch of hassle with RetroArch. I can't seem to play any SNES game or PSX game for more than 15 seconds before I get kicked back to the emu select screen. I tried reinstalling and the problem is still there.
I'll have to go back to Super GNES and FPSE.

I'd never heard of RetroArch before reading this thread but I'm having the same exact same problem with it.
Not sure if you forgot N64 games but if you want, n64oid is the best for n64 roms.

Nothing will come close to Retroarch. Especially on the note 2. N64 is getting added to it as well as other systems.

Video of various systems on the note 2. Obviously it works perfectly.
Can someone pm me a safe rom site to use? Haven't used emulators since my bolt and not sure what's safe anymore

You can see retroarch playing ps1 games on a note 2 flawlessly. So obviously the issue is on your end.
I find that retroarch lacks in configuration where a normal standalone emulator exceeds, they make for better compatibility with games and performance tweaks. The downside is that standalones are about $4 each.

Can you elaborate on this? Retroarch is getting in game menus, built in wii remote support, and more cores. What do the paid emus who run worse and have frameskip on do better?
The wii remote is garbage for any system post Genesis. You need more buttons. I'm using sixaxis and dualshock3 controller. Like said before though, the configuration in retro is a little weak compared to all the oids with button mapping at least

You can plug in a plethora of different controllers into the wii remote, giving you a ton of options. You can see here with the official Neo Geo arcade stick plugged into the wii remote.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=pdsFgv3EGLk
Retroarch has native Sixaxis controls. Configure the pad with the sixaxis app and set it to gamepad mode, and retroarch fully maps it out for you by default.
The configuration for the button mapping is identical to the oids and other emus, you can manually go in and set each button on the controller with whatever you are using. Can you again tell me what else you think the paid emus do better so i can tell the devs directly? Feedback is important, so i'd like to know what else to suggest. So far you've just mentioned stuff retroarch already does out of the box.
