Has anyone found any good emulators for the 10.1? Most are made for phones so they're usually stretched. I'm looking for a good NES, SNES, and Sega Genesis emulators.
BTW, N64oid (N64 emulator) runs basically perfect on the Tab. Worth a download, though its a bit hard to use touch screen for "Z" and "R"
I'm fairly happy with SNESoid so far, although it's hard to find right now.

Ok, well, how exactly might one be able to connect a wii controller to the tab and use it for emulators?
Also, I've been trying SNESoid for about a day now and seems to play games well, however, I was just looking for designed for honeycomb (not just supported). Basically, I'm looking for a cleaner interface instead of pixelated buttons (I know its not really important). My other issue is the on-screen buttons are so close to the home/back, and clock buttons, i keep clicking them (this will be solved by using an external controller i suppose)

"Wiimote Control" app on Market.

NOTE: Wiimote Control has issues with a lot of third-party Wii accessories. For example, I originally tried the Nyko Wand+ and it failed.
Also, if you have a USB host adapter (homemade or the official Samsung one which is finally in stock - I got mine today), a PS3 or Xbox360 wired controller, or any USB PC controller should work.

why is the N64oid $3.99 and the rest free?
I was really hoping I could play Zelda ocarina of time on my Gtab.
I'm using nesoid... and works great ..

I tried N64oid the other day and a lot of the sound was goofed up. The sound was laggy.. like it came in pulses. Anyone else experience this, or do you think it was just the rom I was using?

It may be due to how they were originally distributed...
ALL of them were paid apps for a while until most were pulled from the market. In the case of yongzh's stuff, there were open source license violations. In the case of psx4droid, it was Sony pressure.
N64oid might not have the same open source licensing issues that all of other yongzh's emulators had.
Im using snes9x ex and will great plus you can adjust the size of you game screen as u like and so much more. Its also compatible with wimote. If you need help there are video tutorials about wii mote on youtube it really helped me a lot. Configuring the keys was a little tricky at first but if you ever need help with that part just ask
Well, first off, let me introduce myself, i used to be a apple user since the ipod nano 1g(got ipod touch 1st gen, iphone 2g, 3g, 3gs, 4, ipad 1, etc) but afer buying the galaxy S2, there is no turning back...Simply amazing hahah
Well, my idea is:
I can play using sixaxis controller on some games like emulators, etc...
BUT
What if we find a way to make Xperia optimized games to run on our galaxy s2 and achieve a way to map his buttons? We can build a dock on top of a play3 controller and we will have a homemade galaxy play haha
Just a idea, i dont have any knowledge regarding android systems...Would be great someone to shine a light on this...
Thanks in advance and sorry for my brazilian english hehe =)
uhmmm, most of the xperia play games can already be played on the sgs2 and even more cool games can be played on it that d not run on the play.
so i assume that there is hardly any common need for your request
I think playing is a lot better with REAL buttons than in screen gestures...I think you didnt read or just ignored what i said...
Anyway, Sixaxis got a upgrade and now its possible to map touchscreen gestures to the controller...one of the best apps ive ever bought...
But i'm still interested in what i'm saying...its not as accurate as xperia play...
you mean you want to play games on the sgs2 4,3" screen using a normal sixaxis controller?
Buy the sixaxis controller on the market, it let's you replace de touchscreen buttons by the buttons on your sixaxis controller, you just need to make a profile to every game you need, it even let's you give a button the swipe move, its a great feature

Really? Now read my second post.
@Topic
I'm willing to donate to whoever does this kind of port properly...
Dude I don't really understand what you mean.
Those ganes can already be played as the other guy said, and you can connect a sixaxis controller via bluetooth so what do you mean? You want the sixaxis wired into the phone permanently? What's the point? -it's be massive.
Just make a sixaxis game gripper out of thermal setting plastic or something ;p
Ohhhh I now see what you mean, I've been looking for a way to map sixaxis buttons to play buttons..
That way the buttons would work a lot better and you wouldn't need to coonstantly alter the keymap for different games..
In the sixaxis controller key settings it does have buttons like l2 and r2 but I don't know why, haven't tried them because the other buttons like square, circle etc aren't there.....
Your statement about the xperia games being playable on other android devices is false. That's what he means. I just downloaded a fighting game that was designed for the play, onto my infuse 4g and it recognizes nothing when I touch the screen. This is his idea. To get the sixaxis to work for these games in particular. If I'm wrong please say so. But so far as i can tell there are some games that are xperia play only, and those are the games he is talking about.
Has anyone found a way to use your wii remote with GTAIII.
Iv downloaded the apps I found on the market to connect to my wii remote but I cannot get the controller to control the actions on the screen such as run and jump.
There was one app that allowed you to record touch points as buttons but I couldnt get it to work.
Thanks!
Are you using the classic controler?
You mean the original white wii controller?
If so then yes

No I mean the classic controller that plugs into the WiiMote, the one that it like a hybrid snes/n64 controler. I have used it to play Mario64 on Emulator on Atrix. No idea if it would work for gta but I knew you needed more buttons than just the WiiMote. If you can get away with doit that would be cheaper than buyin a dual shock if you don't already have one.
There are no options to allure the game to be remotely controlled, and the only reason the roms work with the Wiimote is because of built in software on the emulators.
If you play the game through an emulator instead of the direct android version you should be fine.
Btw, op, what was the name of the app that let you program touch points?
Thanks in advance!!!

it was SimpleWiiController -> http://www.appbrain.com/app/simplewiicontroller/ray.android.wii
so there is no way? I have a wii remote and a classic controller, sadly I have no ps3 controller.
RWiimote and another app seem pretend to work, but mapping is not... working I guess.
Yes, i have the same problem, i try to play GTA3 with the WiiMote and only the button directions works, but run or jump, etc dont work
Some additional insight
I'm looking for an answer as well but it seems I might have gotten further than most are getting on this thread.
My setup:
Acer Iconia A100 Tablet
Wii Remote and Classic Controller
Wii Remote IME by Ryan Frawley (Available on the market for like $4 and change)
There is a video and a quick explanation in the first few Google results if you search Wii Remote IME Android, I'd post them but I got an error that I didn't have enough posts yet to do an outside link
One thing that isn't mentioned in either place is that if you are using an add-on controller (Nunchuck or Classic) they'll only show up if they are connected to the Wii Remote before you pair the Wii remote.
Once connected, I was able to go into the controller map and adjust the Classic controller settings to use the keyboard controls I found out by using a Logitech "Keyboard for Android 3.0" (really, that's the model name on the back, I doubt it matters but I found a regular bluetooth keyboard with a windows key on it had some different key mappings though we're not using any non-standard keys.)
Some of the basic controls are:
Up/Accelerator - Up Arrow
Down/Reverse - Down Arrow
Left - Left Arrow
Right - Right Arrow
Sprint/Accelerator - 1
Shoot - 2 (if held, auto-targets closest target)
Jump/Reverse - 3
Enter/Exit Vehicle - 4
Change Radio Station - 5
Change Weapon Next/Look Left in Car - 6
Change Weapon Previous/Look Right in Car - 8
So far, it works, however the buttons appear to be getting "stuck". What I mean for instance is I start walking left and now I'm stuck walking left and can't stop. If I press sprint, it will start running left which I can't stop either. I suspect this is a bug in the IME program or potentially an issue with the game. I will post more if I can get this working as the game is unplayable with a keyboard as you can't easily control the camera, walk, aim and shoot. Playing with only the touchscreen is very clunky as well and really any game that needs analog sticks can't be adequately simulated using the touchscreen IMHO.
I'll post more as I discover it but I really want to get this working so if anybody has ANYTHING to add I'm begging you, add it!
***Edit - After rebooting my tablet and doing the following, the "stuck" problem appears to have resolved itself:
1. Start GTA III, enter your game and press home
2. Start Wii Remote IME
3. Set IME to Wii Remote using settings page in program
4. Go back to GTA from the notification area
5. Test it out, it will probably work!
It also makes sense to point out that I'm using the option to switch back to a different default IME on exit which is the reason I used the order that I did. If you use an automatic task killer, it probably makes sense to make an exception if you can for the Wii Remote IME program in order to keep it open if you want to use that option.
Does anyone know if there are some gamepads available for the x10 (like the game gripper for the milestone)?
I already looked around a bit but couldn't find anything usefull...
Google "OnLive" or "iControlPad". You can play on emulators with blueatooth keyboards too, there's a lot of them.
if you have a non integrated motion plus wii remote get the app from the market and see how it works on your phone..
Thanks for the suggestions, ill steal my GFs wii controller

I'll switch over to my ps3 controller then, hate that wii crap.. Thanks mate!
I've been using my ps3 controller for months I love it. It works great via bluetooth. I'd recommend it
changed build.prop device name to softwin looks like it did the trick, downloading asphault now, will report it it plays or not. has opened up pretty much my whole library of games and apps doing this tweak. you need a rooted device (running .510 right now).

Bc asphault 8 wasn't listed as compatible on the play store using the xperia ultras device name.

i havent been in the gaming scene on android, what are some other good recommendations to try out on ZU?
What DPI is the ZU running at?
I'm thinking that 190 would be a good DPI to run at

Here's some good recommendations for you:
AirAttack HD
Anomaly Korea
Asphalt 8
Dead Space
Dead Trigger
Dungeon Hunter 4
Real Racing 3
Samurai II Vengeance
ShadowGun
All of the above titles can be either downloaded/purchased from Play store, except for Asphalt 8 (Which is not compatible with Z Ultra at the moment)
You don't really need to change build.prop device name in order to get Asphalt 8 - if you have a rooted phone.
I'm just getting Asphalt 8 to try it out, will definitely purchase it legally from Play store once it's available for Z Ultra.
If you have a dualshock3 controller & your phone is rooted, then you can purchase Sixaxis Controller app to map the buttons & use the dualshock3 controller instead.
I prefer to use dualshock3 controller because it's a hundred times easier to control, rather than using the touch screen input.
Hope the above info helps.

wrong. 320 default
you can scale it down to as much as you link but 190 is PRETYYYY tiny. I've gone as low as 240 but the UI started getting misaligned- 265 is ideal.

There are a lot of devices not supported in the playstore for this game.. But the good news is you don't need to change anything,.. just follow this video tutorial on how to download and install... as stated above, 'buy' it properly when the playstore support tree is updated with the ZU

*cough* You don't need the Sixaxis Controller app on Sony phones. They support the PS3 controller natively. You only need an OTG cable (USB On-The-Go) - which is cheap, and then you just plug the controller to the phone, and once it's connected and synced, you can unplug it and use it.
This only works for games that supports controllers, so if you need to map the buttons, you'll need the Sixaxis app. When i think about it, just ignore the whole first part of this post. I could edit it, but i've written it and i'm not throwing it away, god damn it

Yes, the Z Ultra natively supports the dualshock3 controller.
All you need to do is to connect the controller to your phone via a USB OTG adapter.
After that, you can unplug the cables & the dualshock3 controller will work wireless. You can control the phone UI using the dualshock3 controller & it also works for certain android games that supports controller input.
However, there's a misconception among people thinking that all android games will work that way.
Unfortunately, that's not the case. Majority of the android games out there are designed with touch screen input in mind - meaning that they don't support any controller input at all.
The moment you load a game that does not support controller input, you will find that you can't use the dualshock3 at all. Although it is still connected to your phone via bluetooth connection but you can't use it inside the game.
That's why you need the Sixaxis Controller app to map the game's touch buttons to your dualshock3 controller, in order to use it inside the game.
Hope the above info clear things up.
While we're at it, if you use SixAxis Controller and you don't want to spend time mapping the controls, then just go to SixAxis Of Power or this thread. But it's pretty easy to make them yourself, so if you have some questions then just ask.
