[Q] Best ROM for gaming / emulation? - G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Overall, what is the best ROM for both gaming (android-native) as well as emulation? I want a ROM that does the following very well:
-Tegra 2 gaming
-NES/SNES/N64 emulation
-Bluetooth support for connecting controllers
-HDMI out to TV
I don't care if it's 1.1 or 1.2 bootloader, I want to setup whatever will work the best.
What're your thoughts? Thanks!

I haven't done tegra 2 games yet but I've had no issues connecting a wiimote & using nesoid with roebeet's Brilliant Corners.
I'm proud to say I just beat the orginal Zelda (both quests) without help except finding level 6 on quest 2. That would have taken forever to find. I know no one cares but I was excited.

I'm using CM7 Stable
-Tegra 2 gaming - Tested on Gun Bros, Pinball HD, Fruit Ninja, Riptide GP, Samurai Vengeance II with no Lag and clean graphics.
-NES/SNES/N64 emulation - Verified working on all of them
-Bluetooth support for connecting controllers - Unknown
But Able to connect using USB bluetooth wireless keyboard/mouse combo.
If you want to see a video of how they all look on CM7. see here

PLEASE do not kill me, but I can confrm that Wiimotes work. Dunno if Accesoires like a classic controller work though, not yet tested it.
I only have ps3 one and it seems highly integrated with the tablet now - nice status bar icon, easy way to disconnect, connect both wired and wireless way, navigates through the home menu, etc. I tried ps3 controller with onlive app and it works but directional buttons need long press for some reason, not a big problem as left analog stick seems to replace this functionality, also i believe a,b,x,y keys are swapped in places and do not correspond their physical location on ps3 controller. This was based on a couple of minutes play with lego batman and batman city

any variations in controllers dual shack, sixaxis..sry i never used these so no idea wat should I buy
ONE MORE THING: I am more inclined towards Gametel as it can be used with Xperia Arc as well and its size quite small??

If you haven't got PS3 and need to buy something I would not know which one is best. I paired the first original ps3 controller which is a bit lighter but doesn't have vibrations. Haven't yet tried the ones with vibrations and don't know if vibration itself is supported by any of the games so may as well save on the weight.
For onlive I suspect their universal controller would be better because of the labeling of button corresponding their setup plus extra recording etc buttons. You can recharge both controllers from the tablet I think, but onlive may accept regular batteries instead as well - at least their non unoversal does. Don't know how it pairs and navigates through home screens.
Double check if the other one you are considering pairs via Bluetooth for wireless option.

ohk, going to order ps3 then..
one more thing, do I need to buy the OTG USB Adapter from Sony? or anyone will work??
EDIT:
I just came out from Sony Store, i came to know that PS3 controller only works with PS games...I tried Real Football 11 n some other android games, none of them worked with PS3 controller.
Finally I am going for GAMETEL CONTROLLER.
sent via awesome aRc (rooted 2.3.4)
that is not true I have used my ps3 controller on none playstation games and it works great
I don't know about real Android games, but got my cable today, works with PS1 games, emulators and the system itself. Like PS3 taker said, highly integrated
edit:
And as everyone should know, games should be programmed to work with gamepads in general
can u try Real Football, bike stunts n some other good titles like Samurai Vengeance, Asphalt6, Tank Hero, etc..
sent via awesome aRc (rooted 2.3.4)
Asphalt 6 is a no go. You can control the menus, but not the car. Samurai 2 is a no go too, you can run around, but the buttons arent mapped at all. Likewise with duke nukem and unfortunatly, Onlive. More recent games like Shadow gun and sonic cd work like a dream though
thats y m more inclined towards GAMETEL controller as it has been developed keeping in mind abt Android games, u can see the list of games supported by Gametel.
sent via awesome aRc (rooted 2.3.4)
Is the problem that these games don't offer controller support, I could see no reference to controller support in the menus for Real Football. I know Grand Theft Auto 3 is a game that supports controllers and the PS3 one works great with that.

I downloaded a patched version of onlive app from the onlive helper thread in xperia play forum on the third page there approximately and it works with ps3 controller but maping is slightly off. Square is a, triangle is b, dpad seems to only move after continues pressing but left analogue seems to replace dpad moves perfecty. I played lego batman with no problem and warhammer for bit and found both totally playable. I hope some repatches it properly

I'm pretty sure the controller has nothing to do with whether it is compatible or not, it's up to the game dev to add in the bluetooth controller features. But I don't know that from personal experience so I could be wrong . Some offer manual mappings as well for increased compatibility.
At the end of the day the general populous doesn't walk around with a bluetooth gamepad in their pocket, so unfortunatly it's something most devs don't support.

I have a Sony Tablet S1, just hooked up a PS3 controller and am loving this even more..I have been trying to find games to play with it (mostly FPS) but finding out that there isn't much of a choice..
Currently have the following working with the PS3 controller :
Dead Trigger
Shadow Gun
Beach Buggy Blitz
CS Portable
Max Payne
Drag Racing
and of course Crash Bandicoot
I wonder how hard would it be possible for developers to incorporate the ability to use a controller
Also I wish there was a way to connect my tablet to my HDTV (mirror mode)
Does anyone else have a list of controller enabled games?

Hi guys. Is there a way to set up multiple keys to function when I hit one (hw) button in epsxe? for example if I set the directions to "w a s d" it would be really helpful when I hit "e" and it moves up and right. I know fpse can do it, but it started crashing with latest updates, and I find this alternative app since. Would be great,please if you know how to do it,pm me
edit: never mind, Id been blind, I found it!
many people here vote for FPSE, on ePSXe it also works... PS3 Controller and hide touch buttons..

It would be hard to tell (honnestly, even if I manage Fpse official forum ^^).
In my opinion, it depends on what you're expecting from the emulator:
Fpse=> more options (for video, audio, controlers), more things you can tweak to get your perfect "graphic/speed balance" for each game, in the whole better graphic....and more updates (which can be seen as a bad or a good point, depending on how geek you are but a proof that the devs tries to fix every single bug )
Epsxe=> Easy to set up, no waste of time, straight to the point: if a game is said to work so it does indeed. But less tweaking possibilities, less good graphic on high end devices. Working great on low/medium end devices
If you want to play quickly, prefer instant-game over trying settings, Epsxe
If you want a lot of options and perfect crispy graphics, even if it requires trying a few settings , Fpse
Schtruck, Fpse's dev., is my friend, and I've been following this project since late 2008 on Windows Mobile then Android, so of course I vote for Fpse
Go with ePSXe bud

ePSXe is going to be the best psx emulator on the Android market hands down, it supports blue tooth controllers and I'm positive it can run the PS3 controller as well since its blue tooth and I have a Red Samurai blue tooth controller I use to play all my games well most!

Fpse has been supporting bluetooth too for a very long time (actually FpseCE for Windows Mobile was already supporting bluetooth controllers like the MSI BGP100 in early 2009 ).
BTW, Opengl 2.0 plugin for Fpse is on the way (there are already 3 different rendering possibilities: software, OpenGL ES blitting and OpenGL 1.1 plugin). As far as graphics are concerned, Fpse has always had (and so will keep having) an advantage over epsxe
Does anyone know if FPse or ePSXe have native ps3 controller support? (I have a transformer infinity and I would like to just use the USB port on the dock and play games.)
A year as passed.... ePSXe has grown.
What do you think?

Just try the pirated versions. Then help the developer by buying ePSXe or FPse. This way you are helping yourself and the developer
If you think my idea is totally stupid, Just buy epsxe. Because it's the modern emulator

Sorry for the delay, but it's well worth the money. The controls buttons are great and not obnoxiously clicky like the original "Moga Pocket" and the built in phone clip is sturdy. One review stated that it felt really top heavy with a phone attached, but I have no complaints
As advertised, it works flawlessly with GTA Vice City and NOVA 3, all of my other gaming has been with emulators though. Although it was a little tricky getting it set up with the emulators, once I got it figured out, it was great.
I haven't used it enough to rate the battery life, but it hasn't died yet at about 3 hours of gameplay and I would definitely recommend this as more and more games are being designed with Bluetooth controllers in mind.

Isn't there any lag at all when playing with emulators like fpse?
I haven't tried that one...the emulators I've been running are EPSXE, N64oid, and GBC A.D. The only lag I've run into so far is with Mario Kart 64 and for some reason it only seems to occur on the 3rd lap. I flashed a different kernel and it seemed to cut down on the amount of lag, but didn't eliminate it completely. Other than that, no issues.

I also understand that this is a Note II forum. I'm using a Galaxy Nexus so your Quad Core Tegra 3 may not see the same lag as my Dual Core OMAP.
I tried the original moga controller, and decided that I liked the ps3 controller with six axis app much better than moga.
Can't comment on the new moga controller.

Yes, PS3 controller is Bluetooth, and works great with Note 2. I'm a fan of playing old NES games with an emulator, but modern games with too.
Instructions:
1) Download the app "Sixaxis Controller" from Play store.
2) Open the app, click menu button on phone, select "Help", and follow those instructions.

PS3 controller works without root on games that support it (source)
Recommendation:
A) With Root: Get GameKlip and PS3 controller, no wire needed.
B) No Root: Get GameKlip package that comes with a super small micro USB to mini USB cable. Buy a PS3 controller.
Disclaimer: I'm not affiliated with Sixaxis app or GameKlip, but I use both and like them.

By the way, do the analog sticks and L2 R2 triggers work with those emulators?
Left analog stick works but right analog stick and L2 and R2 do not. The way I have my controller configured I don't use those on emulators anyways so it doesn't bother me.

All buttons works without any configuration. R2, L2, right analog stick, ...

Moga mode for other emulators is not very useful.
With SuperGnes you have the perfect copy of the snes controller. No analog sticks !
But, with HID you can use analog sticks, R3 for the menu, ...
HID mode works great with :
SuperGnes
Mupen64 Plus
Mame4droid Reloaded

R2 & L2 are not recognized with SuperGnes / Mame4droid / My boy / RetroArch / Max Payne

Dualshock Support - is it really THIS s##t??

Hi,
Just picked myself up a 16GB Tablet Z-£315 in the airport in Australia, thanks very much!!
Loving it so far, after returning a Nexus 10 with a dodgy screen.
One big reason for me to keep it stock and not unlock the bootloader and flash AOSP or CM10.1 is the built in dual shock support.
Well I've just purchased a Dualshock 3 controller and paired it up and I've got to say/ask, how crap is this?? I'm seriously disappointed, it seems like none of the games I have work with it:
Delver:can move with left analogue stick, can rotate left and right with UP and DOWN on the right stick, can't attack.
Minecraft: Doesn't work.
Pixel Dungeon: Doesn't work.
Bridge Constructor: Doesn't work.
Lode Runner: Doesn't work.
Etc...
Particularly disappointed with Minecraft-on Nexus 10 framerate was like crap-works perfectly on Tablet Z but the onscreen controls just kill my RSI riddled hands and forearms, this version of the game would be so f&&king sweet with a PS3 controller on this screen.
Is there any knack to getting the controller to work? Does the rooted Sixaxis app work better than the 'built in dualshock' support? Do any games at all work with PS3 controller?
Thanks.
I was a little disappointed that more games didn't work with the controller natively myself, these are the games that I've tested that do work though: GTA vice city, dead trigger, shadowgun, and snesoid for SNES emulation. If anyone else has been using the controller successfully feel free to share

I've only used Shadowgun which was pretty good with a controller. If you look further down the list, he didn't link to Temple Run and also there was a Sony site linked that was a store of supported controller games.
I've purchased Another World and already own GTA 3, both work a treat with PS3 controller. Just a shame that Minecraft doesn't work!! Dammit
I think for now only game available on Playstation Mobile app (or Playnow) are compatible with DS3.
I don't know if the offer is still valable on Xperia Privilege app with 25euro gift, if yes use it to buy from PS Store.
Mega Blast work wirelessly.

I use it for SNES emulators. Just had to map the buttons once, and it works flawlessly.
More Play store apps need to support controllers though, definitely.

I use snesoid but that's just because its what I've always used. It gets the job done and have never had a reason to check out any other emulators.
Such a shame they switched the upper left row of buttons with the lower right one, GTA 3 is kind of hard to play in this way. I'm using an SGP321 on .253 though so maybe it's fixed in .307?
