Are there any playstation emulators that are working on the galaxy tab 10.1? All of them seem to have weird sound or poor fps. I think psx4droid worked on the xoom, but it's not playing nice on here.
Would also like to know this. Psx4droid just doesn't run any roms, and Fpse works, but lots of frame rate and sound issues running FFVII ( which according to the internets, is one of the best running roms out there).
I've seen it running really well on a phone, don't see why it should run badly on a more powerful device.
using FPse with Crash bandicoot and it works fine for me !
After I updated to Touchwiz UX FPSE started working alot better for me. Before I wasn't getting any sounds in FF9 and the sounds during regular gameplay were very choppy. Now I am getting 52-60 fps and sound emulation is great.
+1 for FPSe
Went through many emulators and the is by far the best.
Using an older version of psx4drioid (pre v2) works the best on tegra devices, havent tried it yet on my GT but on my old g-tablet it was the best emulator. Version 1.2 or 1.5 if I recall correctly.

honycomb does not play nice with psx4droid
use FPSe
- download scph1001.bin from the net
- go to FPSe settinges
- than system
- bios loading and choose scph1001.bin
- restart FPSe
- enjoy with the almost 100% working games with sound and everything
I've found most RPG games have messed up sound with FPSe, anyway to fix this issue? Final Fantasy 7,8,9
whenever i get ff9 fpse wont load it, where are you guys getting your working roms from?
Fpse is the freaking best man, it even works flawlessly on my nexus s
+ 1 fpse
I wish I could get FPse working for me, I have the correct Bios, but when I load any game it shows a black screen for 30 seconds and then force closes. I know the roms are working because they work with PSX4droid (however PSX4droid randomly crashes and sound clips). Do you think its because I'm using the Starburst ROM? Or possibly I have a bad bios file?
FPSe loads FF9 fine if I have the BIOS file loaded, except:
1) Graphics look like crap. There are settings that VASTLY improve graphics quality but these make it laggy/choppy
2) No sound in many areas. Basically, there is no background music
Well FPSe is working great in terms of frame rate and all that ... But yeah getting a weird sound issue where the music in FFVII seems to be chopped off a little.
Notes don't' seem like they are completing or something. Kind of weird.

Runs perfectly smooth with no slowdown in FMV sequences? Because I am not having a similar experience. I have messed with the settings a lot, and I can get generally smooth gameplay and battle sequences (50-60fps) but I cannot keep the FMV scenes from being stuttery/jerky at time.

I have spusync option on under audio and frame limiter + frame skip 50fps. With these settings i get smooth gameplay in any game I have tried including FFVII and FMV scenes.
Try it out, the frame skip 50 fps allows some games to run normal for some reason with out any jerky gerky. (make sure frame limiter is active)
Happy gaming!

I'm running both 64oid & snesoid on my Uk flipout. 64oid has some sound issues but most roms run ok (using setcpu to boost gaming). Snesoid also has some sound issues but on the whole both run fairly well ...
Lets not forget that both of these emulators & others are still "work in progress" so we can expect some significant improvements in rom execution & hardware compatibilty in the future...

Which games did you try on the N64oid? It will be great if you try Zelda OoT.
i tried psx4droid but the only game i can get to run smooth enuff to play
is yu-gi-oh forbidden memories
sound gets destroyed
animations get abit choppy
I use NESoid to play:
Mario
Krion Conquest
Felix the Cat
Kirby's Adventure
all of those work fine, with a less than occasional audio stutter.
as for the input settings:
im using up, down, left, right with the Dpad
the A-button is J and the B-button is H
return/enter is my start and delete/backspace is my select
I played fpse it's a psx emulator and it worked pretty well, I was playing final fantasy 8 on that emulator, the downpoint was that the screen is a little bit too small for that... gameboid works perfectly

snes9x play smoothly!
I just downloaded FPse emulator for android and it is working with Wildfire as well.
Tried with Tekken 3, it works, slow, but works. May be I need to overclock a little more (currently 710MHz) to make it work reasonably.
Anyone else tried and which game working smoothly ?
EDIT: O.K. With CM7 RC1 installed without google apps, JIT enabled, overclocked @768MHz and only FPse PS1 emulator app with 15 fps skip setting (for android) installed (trying to simulate gaming ROM for HTC Wildfire), the following games are tested and found satisfactory run:
1. Tekken - found running O.K.
2. Tekken 3 - found a little slow (but playable)
3. Gran Turismo - found playable
4. Digimon world - To be tested (as reported by ms_green)
5. Moto Racer - Full Speed with sound (After enabling boost mode)
6. Final Fantasy VII - Full Speed with sound
7. Tony Hawk's Pro Skater - Full Speed with sound
8. Quake II - Full Speed with sound
9. Tenchu - Stealth Assassins - Playable with sound
10. Mortal Kombat 4 - Full Speed with sound
11. Moto Racer 2 - Full Speed with sound (After enabling boost mode)
12. Moto Racer World Tour - Playable
13. Mortal Kombat 4 - very smooth (40-50 fps) as reported by @Was3k
14. Pro Evolution Soccer - playable (20-25 fps) as reported by @Was3k
15. Mortal Kombat Trilogy - very smooth as reported by @karl23koch
16. Motorhead - playable (30 fps with JIT enabled, @730MHz, sound OFF & boost mode)
17. Metal Slug X - very much playable @40 fps as reported by @ziemjak
Additionally, switch to Airplane mode and enable Boost Mode from system.
I'll add the games in above list as I test them.
Note: Only one mode can be enabled at a time, either HLE or Bios mode (if HLE is not selected, it is bios mode) and in bios mode only, Boost Mode can be enabled.
Wildfire can't even emulate SNES at a reasonable speed, it's just not powerful enough.

I have done few steps which makes FPse play faster:
- fresh Installation of CM7 RC1 without Gapps
- Only installed two additional apps: FPse (obviously) and SetCPU for overclocking (@768 MHz)
- Enabled JIT
- Stopped all background processes and put in Airplane mode
and in Fpse settings, set frameskip to 15 fps.
With above changes, I think, FPse is working fine for Tekken 3 (not very fast, but good).
Can anyone suggest what more can be done to speed up the games ?
I think we can have a CUSTOM ROM for wildfire only for gaming without any features like phone, message, google services, etc, etc, then only, Wildfire will be able to play PS1 games smoothly.
Anyway, I will test additional games on FPse and put the result here.
I think this is the best place to requiest a good gaming ROM for wildfire:
Anyone can produce CUSTOM ROM for Wildfire for GAMING only ?

If you're wanting to go to all that effort then why don't you buy a cheaper android mp3 player that has a GPU something like one of the archos ones, you can get them now for around £100 (roughly $150)
Such a Rom already exists. CM7 without gapps in airplane mode.
There's hardly any point of making a gaming Rom separately because it would hardly do much to speed up games. The wildfire suffers mainly because it lacks hardware, which can't be fixed by a rom.
Edit : I don't think most wildfire users bought it for gaming anyway. There are better phones for that.

I agree with you on that even when I purchased HTC Wildfire, I never thought it will be ever playing PS1 games. I tried PSX4DROID earlier, but it did not work for me.
As Fpse developer mentioned, he has made this even for ArmV6, which is wildfire CPU.
The point is, since I already have Wildfire now (I know I should have purchased high-end phone with double the cost of wildfire), and PS1 emulator is available for it, why not to get few games which can play decently on it. I think, the low graphic requirement games will play decently on it.
I tried Tekken, and it is playing decently, and as I mentioned earlier, Tekken 3 is playing a little bit slow (with frameskip 20), but still playable.
Edit: I think I may buy it on next payday, I would like to try out some turn based classics like Kartia.
Tekken isn't exactly low end.. its 3D... bad 3d I know lol but the geometry is all done via software on our crappy CPU. Try a 2D game. And RTFM, apparently you can tweak the configuration for better performance. Alas it is only a new emulator, maybe the dev's can future optimize the 3d software emu in time.
I'm curious though... how the heck can you put up with real-time gaming with all the buttons PSX has?!? I have a hard enough time playing Super Mario World on SNES with this touchscreen... its impossible! Though I guess a fighter game wouldn't be as twitchy hey lol

Hey, the newest version has an option to disable sound to get better fps. That will help wildfire users as well I guess.
Oh and about the touchscreen controls: you can map controls to hardware buttons like search and back.

Thanks ms_green for the info.
I confirm, with the latest FPse with sound disabled, the games are running a little bit more faster.
I tried this with Tekken 3 and also with Moto Racer, both are playable now.
There is another thing I noticed:
In some games, turning on boost mode makes a huge difference...(tony hawk 2 from 30 to around 45 fps) however it might break other games...(controls in ridge racer stop working)
To enable it, load the game and then go to settings, system.

@ms_green,
I am unable to enable boost mode, it says "IN BIOS MODE ONLY".
Can you please tell me how to enter in BIOS MODE ?
Get a PSX BIOS file and set it in the emu settings. Don't ask for a BIOS here, because that's piracy.
Thanks for the tip about boost mode. Yeah, I'm quite surprised by the performance! Legend of Kartia runs great, next I will try Alundra... so many good RPG and RTS games on PSX...
Sent from my HTC Wildfire using Tapatalk
Just to avoid confusion: a BIOS file should look like this: SCPHxxxx.bin
Instead of xxxx there are 4 numbers. So you need such a file and then choose its location in system settings.

I figured it out. In System Preferences, I had enabled HLE mode and was trying to enable Boost mode as well. If HLE mode is enabled, Boost mode cannot be enabled.
@ms_green:
Where can I enable FPS to be visible on screen ?
Yes indeed, HLE = High Level Emulation, which is what you use to ignore the BIOS file if you don't have one.
On screen FPS? Its right there in Video settings... this laziness is beyond RTFM.... lmao...

FPSE works, however visual quality is crap unless you enable some settings that cause massive lagginess.

good news everyone!
n64oid released the final version of the emulator, it runs a lot of games more, it also have the option for gameshark, hi res textures and a lot of fixes in games...
you must give it a try
Besides PPSSPP and Dolphin (Gamecube & Wii) are there other emulators that people have tested on the switch?
Personally, I'd like to see PS2 emulation, but I know it's a bit of a stretch. :silly:
Also, what are some favorites that play well on the switch?
I ask for discussion since there isn't a thread around.
Drastic and the Beta of Redream should work well.
I guess DamonPS2 should be able to play some lighter games reasonably but don't expect too much.
These are the emulators I have downloaded that I can personally confirm work:
-SNES9X, runs all of the SNES games I have flawlessly.
-Mupen64Pluz FZ, runs all of the N64 games I have flawlessly.
-My OldBoy!, runs all GB and GBC games I have flawlessly.
-My Boy!, runs all GBA games I have flawlessly.
-Dolphin MMJ, does not run all Gamecube games I have flawlessly. (further information below)
-nds4droid, does not run all DS games I have flawlessly. (further information below)
-PPSSPP, runs all PSP games I have flawlessly.
-Redream, runs all Dreamcast games I have flawlessly.
I wasn't able to get the regular Dolphin emulator to run Gamcube games, let alone even install Wii games. The Dolphin MMJ version has some lag, but I don't know the proper optimization through settings that is required to get it to run flawlessly. Other users have posted that theirs work flawlessly, but I haven't seen an extensive list of the settings they use.
Nds4droid lags with the Pokemon games. I've tried to download over 15 different DraStic DS emulator APK files and none have worked for me. They kept displaying an error message of not having something. I can't recall exactly off the top of my head at the moment.
Could someone create a foolproof guide in text or video format as to how to get Dolphin and DraStic to run properly?

If someone gets Morrowind running, I'd definitely be interested in playing that as I've never played it before.
Unfortunately, that tutorial doesn't help me because I didn't need the Octopus application since the Joy Con fix works with Dolphin MMJ. I'm referring to the graphical and enhancement settings in Dolphin.

DraStic runs perfectly bought from the playstore.
DraStic works fine for me, too. It does show some kind of an pop-up error at the beginning, but the emulator itself works fine afterwards.
When it comes to other emulators besides DraStic:
PPSSPP: Played only Star Wars: The Force Unleashed, emulator is working great, although SW: TFU does have *some* slowdowns (but this is the same across all platforms, so very probably not a performance issue), but overall completely playable.
When it comes to games:
Star Wars: KOTOR: I am using version 1.0.9 (from Amazon Appstore) and it works perfectly (including gamepad right out of the box).
GTA: San Andreas: Working fine, but the sticks are not working for movements. Buttons work fine.
Half-Life 2: Native Tegra version, works perfectly fine.
Will continue to edit this post.

Remember, F-Droid is a thing, my friend. Just like a brother above, we're not limited to Google stuff, I for one, have no intention to use Google stuff. I'll be using FDroid, Aurora Store and Amazon c:
https://f-droid.org/packages/com.libopenmw.openmw/ I do believe this uses SDL for joysticks.
My list of emulators are as follows; for everything else I use retroarch.
PSX:
Epsxe - nice psx emulator, works exactly how you would imagine a box standard emulator to work and does the job quite well. Can’t say any downsides to this emulator
Fpse: my favourite out of the two, upscales into HD and even forces a widescreen that doesn’t end in a stretched out mess. Honestly this emulator will make tekken 3 look like tekken 6 (a slight over exaggeration but it’s worth it). The downside is there is no free version and it’s gonna cost you a couple of quid/dollars.
Dreamcast:
Reicast- it works as well as it’s lakka version only this time you can dock the switch for TV. Has a widescreen hack and looks quite nice in places although some textures don’t work right (shenmue need more than a plaster to cover that hole in his face). Downsides are some games don’t work.
Redream - works great, all games I’ve tried run fine including stupid invaders (if that’s what you’re into) that being said, that game doesn’t get past the Sega logo in reicast so this emulator offers more support! I can’t remember if you have to pay for it though and just like reicast it doesn’t support “win ce” games like resident evil 2.
PS2:
Damonps2 - runs a little worse than dolphin, I haven’t found a single game I could consider as playable in that emulator but it shows promise and apparently is due an upgrade that will offer a lot of speed up. This emulator has seen some controversy because the dev ripped off code from the pc version of psx2 and I believe there’s some lawsuit involved. Has the most drawbacks. The free version won’t let you save and the paid version asks for your **** size amongst all over personal data as well as it won’t work if you’re offline or use the xposed frame network. It also shuts itself if you have Magisk installed. To get it to work again you have to hide the application with Magisk hide.
DS:
Drastic - you might have to pay but damn is it worth it. Looks amazing and can swap your screens instantly by pressing the thumb sticks in, not so great for games that utilise both screens at once like Sonic Rush but plays great!!
Like I say everything else I use retroarch for.

My list of emulators are as follows; for everything else I use retroarch.
PSX:
Epsxe - nice psx emulator, works exactly how you would imagine a box standard emulator to work and does the job quite well. Can’t say any downsides to this emulator
Fpse: my favourite out of the two, upscales into HD and even forces a widescreen that doesn’t end in a stretched out mess. Honestly this emulator will make tekken 3 look like tekken 6 (a slight over exaggeration but it’s worth it). The downside is there is no free version and it’s gonna cost you a couple of quid/dollars.
Dreamcast:
Reicast- it works as well as it’s lakka version only this time you can dock the switch for TV. Has a widescreen hack and looks quite nice in places although some textures don’t work right (shenmue need more than a plaster to cover that hole in his face). Downsides are some games don’t work.
Redream - works great, all games I’ve tried run fine including stupid invaders (if that’s what you’re into) that being said, that game doesn’t get past the Sega logo in reicast so this emulator offers more support! I can’t remember if you have to pay for it though and just like reicast it doesn’t support “win ce” games like resident evil 2.

For PSX I'd honestly recomend RetroArch (Both android and HorizonOS). It already has Upscaling and it's free. As for Tekken 3 to Tekken 6, I'd yet to find out, haha.
I'm Glad that the Dreamcast works great!! Do you have any recommendations?
PS2- I kinda expected that. Have you tried the Play! Emulator?
DS- Can you do anti aliasing or Upscaling?
I'm currently in the process of getting it on the switch (Had a week long exam) but I'll gladly report any findings I get as well.

Well it’s the widescreen hack that sells Fpse for me, epsxe has one but the graphics flicker a bit. Although I think epsxe runs games better, I do get graphical issues when using the gl plugin. (Tekken 6 for PSP... at a push haha).
I’d recommend using redream for Dreamcast as it offers more support. I’m a big fan of the sonic games and hey run perfectly. I have a lot of fighters on there to and it’s much easier to set up 2 player with redream.
I haven’t managed to get play! working yet, retroarch crashes when I boot it and any app I’ve installed from google searches don’t work or are fake (or maybe I’m doing something wrong).
Yes, the DS can do anti aliasing, I can’t describe how nice they look upscaled. Especially the more 3D heavy games, run really smooth too! Loads of options, i’d Recommend having a look at a few reviews, but it runs amazing in the switch.
I’ve recently downloaded arc browser after a few days of trying to fathom the very poor tutorials of setting up Hyperspin. It’s a nice GUI to load all your games for different emulators in one app. It’s nice to look through all my roms with added cover art and fan art, it does cost like £8 though.
I will add that all emulators I’ve tried to run made by “Robert Broglia” like MD.EMU and Neo Geo emulators do not work in docked mode, it’s almost as though the apps themselves just don’t understand what it is. I managed to get a Sega CD game running through MD.emu docked when I loaded the game through arc browser and it loads and plays and then crashes when you exit making it so you have to undock and redock the switch.
Dolphin works fine for me but the remapping of control for Wii doesn't want to stick after i launch a game. When it does it seems to forget half of the remapping. Anybody else?

DraStic works fine for me, too. It does show some kind of an pop-up error at the beginning, but the emulator itself works fine afterwards.
When it comes to other emulators besides DraStic:
PPSSPP: Played only Star Wars: The Force Unleashed, emulator is working great, although SW: TFU does have *some* slowdowns (but this is the same across all platforms, so very probably not a performance issue), but overall completely playable.
When it comes to games:
Star Wars: KOTOR: I am using version 1.0.9 (from Amazon Appstore) and it works perfectly (including gamepad right out of the box).
GTA: San Andreas: Working fine, but the sticks are not working for movements. Buttons work fine.
Half-Life 2: Native Tegra version, works perfectly fine.
Will continue to edit this post.

Are you certain about the version of KOTOR? I purchased first from Google Play and received version 1.0.6 which hangs, then bought it from Amazon Appstore and received version 1.0.7 which appears to be the latest currently available and it isn't loading fully either.
