PSX4Droid now free & open souce (Playstation emulator) - Vibrant Themes and Apps

Figured us vibrant users needed one of these threads
http://www.smartkeitai.com/psx4droid-hits-3-0-now-free-open-source-project/
Enjoy!

That's good. Now someone can finally make it playable.
FPse is way better than PSX4droid, at least in my experience.

Haha I bought it a while back when the 24hour rule was still in effect (the good ole days?) And it was ok if you turned the sound off (just like the new n64oid )
How much is FPse and is it honestly smooth?

Yeah in my experience FPSe is much better, though I cant seem to get Heart of Darkness working on it...

I want MGS working so bad. I couldn't get it working properly on Psx a couple months back

Yeah I'd give FPSe a try, I'm pretty sure MGS works on it.
FPSe has been in development since the WinMo days.

I don't know why you guys are having all these issues with the emulators. N64oid works perfectly on my vibrant(2.2 non-rooted) and so DID psx4droid, being as though psx4droid doesn't work on 2.2 vibrant

Emulators on the Streak?

I was just wondering if anyone had played SNES / Genesis emulators on their Streak and could comment on how good they played?

I think it may be better waiting till we get 2.x roms as they offer better mutlitouch support.
ive got snesdroid and gendroid or w/e they are called installed and they are very glitchy. sound is crackly, video is juttery. not worth bothering with at all

Are not worth downloading,i will try again once 2.2 is on board

I'm surprised they are so glitchy and juddery as I'm sure they were fine on 1.6 on other Android Devices.
I payed for the snes emulator, rom buddy and the app that lets you connect a wii controller to the phone. The wii controller app won't work, I emailed support and he said he'd look into it if I reported the issue (i thought emailing him was reporting the fault?). Anyway, earlier posters are right, unless the wii controller app gets working on the streak, multi-touch is needed. To be honest, with the quality of games coming out for the streak, I can't see the snes games holding my attention for very long, but would still love to show them off using a wii controller.

Thats a shame,I'm surprised it doesn't work as all it needs is Android 1.6 or higher.
There was an issue that it doesn't work with HTC Sense so I wonder if the Dell stuff thats been added to the Streak is causing it not to work, as same if it is as I've had a lot of fun using a Wiimote with my Desire now I've upgraded to 2.2, and would love to do the same on a Streak!!!!
any chance that Dosbox will be released on Android with full virtual keyboard support?
cannot wait for multitouch gaming
I got the emulator off the market that does several machines I played a. Snes Rom and genesis Rom both were fairly smooth with sound. Only drawback is lack of multi touh. Roll on 2.2

I agree with the dude above I installed the Snes emulator and the wiimotecontroller apps and that works fine. Dont see any frame drops in game play but sound is pretty poor. But really do need to have multi-touch so i can also use the Virtual gamepad when I don't have the wiimote with me.
Not every one carrys a wiimote with them at all times.
Same sort of experience as the rest of you I guess. I've got Gameboid for the Streak and Pokemon works like a charm
I've recently downloaded the PSX4Droid App which runs exceptionally smoothly. The big issue of course is the lack of multitouch. If you can get the right kind of games it's not the end of the world but for most you're gonna need multi touch. Once that arrives though then there won't be a single flaw in the emulators that I've used!
I have also been using PSX4Droid lately and its pretty good so far, but when we get multitouch this emulator will really shine. Some games are quite playable already, I am playing through FF7 now with the run button mapped to the camera key. Lets hope we get the update asap...
Has emulator situation improved with Froyo/2.2?
I was reading this old thread and it sounds like SNES emulators weren't running too well on Android 1.6. Now that Froyo/2.2 has been out for a while, can anyone tell me:
- has SNES emulator performance improved now the Streak has JIT and multi-touch support?
- are any SNES emulators really playable on the Streak + if so which is the best?
- does PS3 Sixaxis work over Bluetooth with the Streak?
Thanks,
-- Not Relevant
i've not tried a SNES emulator yet but I have FPse and that runs well - I play Colin McRae Rally 2.0 quite a lot on it.
It's best with overclocking and a fast ROM but still plays OK on SD 1.9.1 without perfmod.....

Cool, thanks - I'll give that a try. Been a while - the last time I played any PS1 games I was using Bleem!
I'm looking at SNES9x EX right now - seems a bit glitchy and on-screen controls aren't great. I'm running on stock 351 ROM so might need to try something with different scheduler and/or overclockable kernel. Not sure I want to risk an unstable phone though...
NESoid
SNESoid
N64oid
GENoid
All work great. Use Wiimote Controller and wiimote and you have yourself a 5" gameboy.
So why is every thread saying I need this ROM gripper to get games like NBA Jam to play and I cant get the ROM gipper or any SEGA Genesis emulator to work? Any help please on steps to get NBA JAM to work?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1208047
Sixaxis on Streak
Well I guess the real question is how can I even get NBA Jam working? I havent even got that far. I have downloaded all the ROM Grippers and what not but cannot get any of the Genesis or SNES games even playable? Is there some other download im missing?

Snesoid/Nesoid question.

Does snesoid or nesoid run smoothly on the vibrant cause last phone i had it was a bit laggy, so if anybody already has it on their vibrant let me know! Thx
i have all four emulators by Yonghz and they all run phenomenal on the vibrant.
gameboid - perfect
gensoid - perfect
nesoid - perfect
snesoid -perfect
even snesoid now runs Super Mario RPG. BRILLIANT Work!
So they arent laggy like they are on some other phones? Cause i had the mytouch and even that was kinda laggy and choppy on the sound!

do you use any kind of gamepad, bluetooth or otherwise?
some of the games (notably RPGs) seem to be fine - but others it seems kinda hard to play without some kind of gamepad.
I played several games for a while on Nesoid and Snesoid and had no problems with the onscreen controls. They both ran perfectly after tweaking some settings and preferences.
I probably play the emulators more than any games from the market.
^ exactly what I was going to say.
Wii Mote apps DO NOT work
http://www.appbrain.com/app/com.mercury.inputmethod.wpad

SGS + emulator + tv out + wii mote would be awesome
what are your settings for the multitouch. I try to play mario on Snesoid but can run and jump at the same time.
It does look amazing, its faster that the actual Nintendo game
Do you guys use the on screen D-Pad?

On screen controls work awesome on this phone.. I can still get ultras on killer instinct...
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
Yeah and? You don't need to bs us. That stuff is impossible from the phone. I love killer instinct and highly doubt anything other than cinder or the werewolf can be done and unlikely on ultimates. Not to mention that the more I remember of playing that game when I was a kid the more I remembered that other than the finisher ultimate you don't want to do long combos because they are breakable = you lose vs experienced players and vs the ai.
Meanwhile there are other reasons for external controls. 2 player games is one reason. 2 player killer instinct would be a lot more fun.

I find that hard to believe, i can barely get a 5 hit combo it's so hard.
I have a question about nesoid that you guys may or may not be able to answer. Its regarding the Game Genie function. I enabled it in options and pointed it to the rom on the sdcard, I enter (for example) unlimited life and unlimited rupees in Legend of Zelda and fire up the game...works great...HOWEVER...when I save the game's state and return to it later (even after re-entering the Game Genie codes), they no longer work after loading my previous state. Do I really have to start the entire game over again if I want to use the game genie codes?

Playstation Emulator Out on Market

Mod Removal - Warez
What do I do with this .bin file? I tried extracting it & just opening as an archive
The bin file is the playstation bios for the emulator, you put it in one of the folders for the emulator to run.
Although the bios itself is generally considered to be warez.
I am going to try out Gran Turismo 1*2 muhahaha
Can any one help me find or send me roms for this please? The only ones I have found are zip and don't seem to work..

Guys I recommend trying Road Rash it's one those gems that can be played with touchscreen controls, I've been playing the Genesis version on my Hero and it works really well ,but it pales in comparison to the to the Playstation game which IMO was the pinnacle of the series, Heck I still play it on my Pc sometimes, probably my favorite racing game.
perhaps the release of this emulator will spark interest in my thread regarding whether or not there are bluetooth 3.0 capable controllers for our phone since the wiimote app wont work on our phones =/
this might be pretty cool...
Does any one know what extension this uses for games?
I have found multiple roms but none of them seem to work.
Some .zip,.tar,.z7,.z2
Any help.

I played Bloody Roar on the PSX Emulator and I can say it's pretty good. The only problem is that it runs quite slow, no lag however.
X2. I can confirm it also running slow with gran turismo. Still fun and playable nonetheless

yeah it works! Currently I tried, Silent Hill, Gran Turismo 2, and Final Fantasy 7.
They all work. Except there is some artifact on your character in Silent Hill, it's not that disruptive. I thought GT2 was running a little slow but when I look at the time/timer during the race, the number seems to move at a very smooth [normal] rate. Is the game originally this slow?
ps - will try Metal Gear Solid & Super Puzzle Fighter right now. will let you know

5 retires and a reboot and I've gotten no where.
okay, so far this worked
Gran Turismo 2
Final Fantasy 7
Silent Hill
SUPER PUZZLE FIGHTER 2 TURBO
Does not work
Metal Gear Solid - at least with the default options, maybe have to tweak it a littlebit.
problem installing
ok i dont understand how to install the rom. i looked for psx iso roms from google, download and install sdcard. i click on psx4droid to open then scph1001.bin and after that screens goes black. what am i doing wrong. please help
Final Fantasy 9 seems to be working, but the FMVs have no sound. Its strange as FF7's FMVs play fine w/ sound.
FF7 and Crash Bandicoot work great though. Cant wait to see where this goes, w/ some work and updates Thanks!

How many FPS are you guys getting on the game considering that the streak is limited to 30fps?
i tried FF8 plays good but the squall was running it seemed like he was actually walking lol. but on the world map it kept getting stuck
and there was also the sound issue damnit and when changing screens from one room to another there wasa vertical line on the rightside. jus 1px... anyone else same problem?
thanks

dont gag too much ^^ but i got mine from pirates!! yo-ho!
anyone else with similar issue? i will try ff9.. and 7 tonight
how is sound on all the green games up there?
If there in green it means they play just like they did: ) if there blue it mean they run but might be slow or crap sound, Red just don't work. GREEN I would say run at full 30fps cos its just so good ill up date more tomorrow.

I've just been playing Colin McRae 2.0 on my Streak. Bananas!
Admittedly it's only JUST playable and you can't use the in car view really but the view showing the bonnet works well enough. Didn't check the framerate (can you?) but i'd estimate maybe 20ish? It responds to input well enough at least. CMR 2.0 used to push the limits of the actual Playstation so it's quite impressive seeing it running on a mobile device
btw screen refresh rate worked best at 30 and scaling set to 2x
looking forward to trying more stuff out with this! My Streak gets better by the day at present!

[Q] N64oid

Anyone get this working for nook? trying to surprise my girlfriend because she loves conker.
runs great on my nook playing mario 64 right now
How did you get it on your nook? I cant find it in the market and market.android.com says its unsupported. Cant even find the damn apk to pirate it, despite the fact that I do wish to pay for it.
Works for me on cm7, kinda laggy though, it is on my phone too, probably just need to wait for some update.
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA App
Well I managed to get it, but cant seem to find any games to work. Will continue to try, hope it gets updated soon so more game works and I can actually find it in market
How did you end up installing it, with Cyanogen or ADB or another thing?
I am on CM7. Found, bought and installed it through the Market. Works great, no lag, some slight audio hiccups.
Honestly, this is the best N64 emulator I have played.

Happened to find the apk (since i cant f**king find it on market [you should be able to download the apk if you purchase it]) and just opened it on the nook to install it. It seems for 2.1 (stock) it wont show up in the market.
How does CM7 handle games like mario kart? Because for stock its laggy as hell. And conker doesnt even load past the first few credit screens >.<

hm...I got mario running really well, but all other games are running terrible. Lylat Wars is smooth, but slow and the audio is broken. I hope there's going to be some improvements during the next couple of weeks
Here's a video I made playing Mario 64:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nqw92eIbGL4
EDIT: Apart from the performance issues, n64 looks just great on the nook. Banjo Kazooie and Zelda look amazing
And is it just me, or are all textures shown at full detail? Looks like there's no mipmapping, or full anisotrophic filtering, which could explain the performance issues

How did you get the "thumbstick" on the bottom? I suppose the textures are at full detail but its been a long time since ssb and infinity blade spoiled me.
That's just the default virtual keaypad. I didn't do anything specific to get it set up like that
Seems on stock the layout is borked. Once I get my sd later today I'll just try it on CM, dont suppose it works on HC?
Works really well on Froyo. All I have tried is Mario 64 but it is completely playable!
Only issue I can see atm is the fact it still has things to iron out and the price is a little to high for it being in early stages. Just my two cents.
running good for me too other than mario party sound is a lil jacked up too
Running great on Phiremod v4. Actually, Starfox 64 is running a little better than on my Dinc, somehow.

Anyone know why I would get an application not installed error? I tried via adb and it said invalid apk, but the same apk works on my phone
Runs really well on my Nook with the latest CM nightly... Only change I made was to the LCD density in the build.prop file... From 160 to 161...
Also, download Rom Gripper++ from the market... It has a N64 section to download ROMs... I got Mario Kart 64, Zelda Ocarina of Time, and Mario 64 so far... All work with only minor audio hiccups...
So I'm the only one with performance issues? Zelda is pretty much unplayable for me.
I'm running phiremod v4 flashed with the latest nightly. everything else runs butter-smooth
EDIT: I think I'll have to re-flash the OC-kernel. let's see if that helps
Mario 64 very fast. Shadows of, the empire is unplayable for me
