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

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,

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?
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?

This is what I want to know too.
onscreen doesn't work well enough for me
On screen controls work awesome on this phone.. I can still get ultras on killer instinct...

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?
Words with friends doesn't seem to support the resolution properly, you can't pull the rightmost tile so you have to trick it to get that tile
Ya it sucks H.A.W.X doesnt display properly and its my favorite game.

Dungeon Defenders is a great game on the phone.
Captivate 2.2.1 OCed
Atrix Root
Nexus 1 2.3.3
Jet car stunts
reckless racing
don't work
Thankfully, SpeedX does work, the only game I actually play. Mini squadron isn't bad either.
I got this game from the market called Samurai II: Vengeance. I believe it's the only game on market right now that only supports the tegra 2 chip other than dungeon defenders if i am not mistaken. it runs so smooth and graphics are just stunning. it's a must have on our phones!
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.madfingergames.SamuraiII&feature=search_result
I tried a few of the "top" games and found that "Unblock Me" doesn't work well (resolution issues) but is playable. I also cannot get the "Live" Poker or Blackjack to function (force closes while trying to join a game--software issues?).
Angry Birds, Slice It, Alchemy, and X Construction all seemed to work properly though.
Jet car stunts works just fine for me.
Air Traffic Lite doesn't work right now. I emailed them about it.

That's an EA game right?
I think that EA has to just set a variable in their server to allow the Atrix to download all their games. I have heard the same about Need for Speed Shift. It would seem that it will just be a quick fix on their end.
If you have another phone could you use titanium backup to transfer the files and data over? Or just manually copy them from the SD of another phone?
When mine comes I am going to try to find a way to copy all of my gameloft games over with titanium backup. Their policy says "one phone one game", mine says "I already paid once, don't push your luck".

I've been playing it since Tuesday on my Atrix with no problems.
Havent been able to load X-Plane
if u wanna play soccer, try pes 2011, works good.
also tank hero and airattack hd lite
I'm addicted to home run battle 3d HD. It looks awesome on this phone. Just make sure you get the paid HD version and not the standard free one.

Samurai II: Vengeance is Awesome Paid App
Just downloaded Monster Madness works great haven't had to muck playing time to say whether it was worth the ten dollars. But both games look awesome.

Weird, the lite version worked for me.
Samurai II and Dungeon Defenders are the two must gets. Just tried Dungeon Hunter (Diablo like game from gameloft) and it works fine but graphics don't compare those games. Modern Warfare sandstorm works but has some graphical issues which don't affect gameplay.
Sims 3 & Worms
I previously purchased "Sims 3" & "Worms" for my Captivate. Both games installed on my Atrix but when I go to download the data they need it gives me an unsupported device error.. Anyone else getting this error? I am on WiFi..

Doodle jump does work.
I am using Mupen64 emulator to run my n64 games but they are not running to well on my prime. Games like mario kart run well but ridge racer, mk trilogy, tony hawk 2, and killer instinct dont run well at all. Is there something I need to change in the settings or is there a better emulator I can use that isnt in the market? Thanks for the help !!

Give a try to n64oid
N64oid (http://slideme.org/application/n64oid)
It costs $5 but I think it's worth it. The only trouble I have had was some shutters in Mario Kart, but I was also using a PS3 controller over Bluetooth (Sixaxis app) and streaming to an HDTV.

I had the same experience with Mario Kart, but just playing it on the tablet alone. No bluetooth on or HDMI out, although I think that's changed since the ICS update. I'm getting tired of using the touch screen and my Xbox controllers are broken, so I may try out Sixaxis again and root it.
Also, it totally is worth $5. Even worth dropping an extra dollar or two for an app that helps you find ROMS and download them directly from the app.
I'm using sixaxis controller, a ps3 controller and n64oid and Zelda is amazing, thats all ive tried though
Try putting in Frame Skips 2-3
I do that for games that stutter and it works great...
this is N64OID , but Im sure they all have frame skip
Turn off Fog if thats a option also
sixaxis requires root?

Thanks everyone for the recommendations. I will purchase the app this weekend when I have more time to play around with everything. Has anyone tried Mortal Kombat Trilogy, Tony Hawk 2 or 3, NBA Showtime, Killer Instinct Gold? These are the titles I am currently having trouble with. I am curious if others have gotten them to run well.

Could you possibly explain what the frame skips does/mean?
Mine was already set at 3, tried 5 which was worse, then tried 1 and that seemed better. Does that make sense?

Every Game is different so If 1 Works for one game great, others may require 2 or 0.
Frame Skip does exactly what it says... its skips a frame..
I don't know why we need it , but on any emulator they have the option. Maybe it has something to do with the way emulators work and read roms versus how the real system reads the games.. Your playing early 90'S games with 2012 technology
I've been trying all sorts of emulators and my DNA can barely handle a GBA emulator... My RAZR M flew playing FPse games, and my DNA's lagging way behind even with nothing running. N64 emulators are jerky and pause a lot... Any ideas?
Just try'd to play pokemon ruby with myboy free edition and it run like but no lag at all. You can try changing framerate skip to 3 and see if that helps you can try forcing 2d renduring in the development menu and see if that helps... Good luck..
Just tested super Mario 64 and it works fine for me.

Check out the original development thread DSB made a Bluetooth hack that might fix your problem
Which are you guys running? FPse is mainly what's worrying me. My Boy works fine, but that's GBA. I was using Mupen64Plus, AE for N64 and it was stuttering like crazy.
