Happily I got the update to 2.1 for my X10 Mini Pro last night (on O2 in the UK).
So today I installed psx4droid (it doesn't work on Donut ...right?) and I've had a go at some games.
As we all know, the X10 Mini Pro's defining feature over the X10 Mini is that it has a hardware keyboard, which works quite nicely as a gamepad if you set the key mapping properly.
Weirdly enough there's no D-Pad, so I've been using the layout:
Q W E R T Y U I O P
A S D F G H J K L ⇦
Z X C V B N M , . ⏎
▢ ⇪ ? ◂ ⊂ ⎵ ⊃ ▸ ' ℠
D-Pad
Shapes
Triggers
Select/Start
You can also map the camera key as a trigger, but obviously you can only pick one button, which would be useful for some sort of aim function where you need to hold down a trigger whilst using the D-Pad and shapes.
Firstly, don't expect to be playing the highest quality real time 3D PSX games on an X10 Mini Pro, they work but it's just not fast enough to be properly playable.
I noticed that the games ran a little more quickly if you set the scaling to Original.
You'll want a decent sized SD card for storing more than two or so of these games, they're around the 500MB mark each.
I don't have many games, but perhaps a list of compatible titles for our diminutive 'droids would be useful?
007 Racing
Works but it's far too slow.
5 Star Racing
Works but it's far too slow.
Casper
Seems to work fine.
Circuit Breakers
I found this one to be borderline playable, if you have patience you might be ok.
Crash Bandicoot
work ok but not full speed - liamguest
Driver 2
Works but a tad slow spoils the fun - Manny-
Final Fantasy VII
Works BASICALLY full speed - liamguest
Works perfectly (a tiny bit slow but still playable) - Manny-
Rayman
Just hangs at the Ubisoft logo, unplayable.
Use the GBA version (Rayman Advance) in the Gameboid emulator instead - liamguest
Ridge Racer
It all seems to work ok, but it's just too slow. I did manage to complete a few laps but it wasn't much fun.
Spyro the Dragon
Works "full speed..ish" - liamguest
I had less success, it was too slow for me - but my phone is completely stock with the official 2.1 update.
Street Racer
Really daft kart racer, doesn't actually involve street racing; works perfectly - if I didn't know better I'd think it was straight from the Marketplace.
Theme Park
Seems perfect, except the videos are silent. The first person 3D park view works really surprisingly fast, oddly enough.
Wipeout 3
Works very slowly - liamguest
Worms
Videos stop after the first few frames and I didn't hear any music, but the game is playable; I didn't play for long but it seemed otherwise perfect.
Worms Armageddon
Works at full speed - liamguest
havent tried it yet, but being a big emu fan I have used psx emus on regulay computers. The game that always worked was Tekken... give it a go mabey
( if I find my ISO i might fire up psx4droid myself )
the x10 does support OGL tho, unlike a Samsung Spica i5700 that I use for testing at work...

Here i found a nice work around for rayman 1 ( best game ever )
i used the gameboy advance emulator download
Rayman advance its the same but updated with new levels LOVE IT works full speed
also for GBA alien hominid i loved that game for xbox original
turns out it came out for gba and the games almost exactly the same so i was happy with that
Worms armageddon works full speed FF7 works BASICALLY full speed
and my fav game for ps1 wipeout 3 works very slowly ( not happy )
but exactly that its alll good
also crash bandicoots work ok but not full speed
and spyro games as far as ive used them work full speed..ish i now have my phone overclocked well more like permanently clocked at 600mhz for min and max and ive deleted most my processes now i have rooted it so i will retest and get back to you with all this tho.
I have tested wipeout on my device now it works a little faster but not full speed...
FF7 seems the same but it works perfectly anyway.
PLEASE NOTE i havnt used sound on these so when i say good or perfect thats without knows what the sound is like.
FF7 - works perfectly (a tiny bit slow but still playable)
Driver 2 - works but a tad slow spoils the fun
Abe's Odysee - doesn't work background messes up

Configurations
So guys, is there any specific configurations for playing at a decent speed FF VII?
thanks
Been a bit busy, finally got round to checking this thread.
I hadn't thought of using the GBA version of rayman, thanks that's smart solution.
I didn't even bother testing Spyro! Great to hear it works, I'll try it when I get a chance.
if you actually want to get this working at a better speed, install something called JIT. its not an app its a java applicaiton.
it will speed up your phone when doing things such as playing games. there is a thread on here somewhere about it

If you use the built in browser, gameloft will recognize your device and show you the two games currently optimized (NOVA 2 HD and Real Soccer 2011 HD). These install fine and you get a free trial to test them with. I've had a bit of an issue with NOVA 2 and the controls but tech support has told me how to fix it, I just haven't had time.

anyone tried THE ADVENTURE OF TINTIN on Sony Tablet S?
Sent from my Sony Tablet S using xda premium
I did install and play The adventures of Tintin!
I think it's the best adventure game so far on a tablet.
Which version u are using?
Only v1.0.9 is working with sony tablet n the graphics are not good..
New game added Green Farm on Gameloft site for Sony Tablet S

I got games from Gameloft's WapShop and when I selected the Sony Tablet S at the bottom three games came up and I bought Nova HD 2 and got Asphalt 6 free with their promo. I thought if I change the device to Acer A500 and bought 9mm and got TinTin HD for free they would work too. They do not, TinTin downloads but will not install and 9mm gives a reddish/pinkish tint on the screen so it is unplayable.
In my case Tim and Struppi (Tintin) didn't work on my Sony Tablet S here in Germany. In the market I can't order it, with the hint "no compatible device". Then I tried to copy the apk file from my Galaxy S2 to my Sony Tablet. The old version started with a very raw grafic as a jump an run cellphone game. This was a now knowing bug and after the last update, the program starts with advice "incompatible device". How could you convince your device or market to run Tintin on Sony Tablet S? Please let me know ... I want to run it on my tablet too
Play asphalt 6 all the time .. love it on this device!
Does anybody know if Starfront: Collision works on the tablet S? If so, what version does?
Would really like a good RTS on the tablet, only thing I can see that is lacking!
Thanks a lot

I can confim that modern combat 3 fallen nation works on sony tablet s. I bought this game on xperia arc s and because of fast overheating near processor I decided to move game on tablet. Everything works well.

This might be a noob question but do HD games actually run on the Nook Tablet? coz i tried running some Samsung galaxy s games on it and they crash on start..
What device games will run best on the NT? I presumed the SGS games would be most compatible Because of same GPU (sgx540) though it has a smaller screen.. Still almost none of the HD games of SGS work and about 30% of other powervr games run sucessfully.. I have a rooted Nook tablet btw
Is this happenning to others as well? will there be better compatibility once custom roms are made for NT.. and extremely noob doubt (im new to android)- isn't HD supposed to be 1080p? so are hd games running at 1080p?
Any game that has THD in its name requires tegra 2 which doesn't work on the nook tablet.
The only HD games I have read working are angry birds hd. That's it.. Everything else is standard graphics.. You can try modifying your build.prop so you can get more apps to run...

Hello satan,
I would recommend reading through this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=19704560
_______sig starts here______
Even you were a beginner once
If this post helped click the thanks button!
remember QTIP - Quit Taking It Personal
If by hd you mean like strait 1080p dont know about that. But if you mean like console quality games yes it plays them very well, nova 2, grand theft auto, dungen defenders 2 (that one is in the android market) the others i got from sources i cant name here. And many others, i have a bunch of 3d first person shooters and others that just purr with the graphics on the highest settings this has a very capable chip set. I have an htc hd2 any game that is made for that will run on the nook tablet. I had some games that the phone couldnt handle they would bog it down but they run perfect on this. So look for games that run on the htc hd2 theyll work for sure. Ive had issues when i find games that have different versions for different phones most wount run. But it just happens that i have that phone and any game that will play on that will play on the tab thats the most help i can give you.
I know World of Goo and Osmos both work very well on the NT, and with awesome visuals. I haven't tried many other high-quality games, though.
I made a video here showing various HD games playing on the NT.
By far, the best looking game IMO is Modern Combat 3. (Video here.) It just looks and plays beautifully. It's the game you run to show people what the NT is truly capable of.
As dodgepot posted, definitely look through the games thread, as much of the how to/which/where to get has already been gone over.
i recently found dead space HD works awesome on the NT. very good effects n' such.
Has anyone got modern combat 3 to run on this tablet?
When I first purchased this tablet 2 months ago it was working, and then now all of a sudden it says that its not compatible.
yes, mc3 works but you must change the build prop but only if you have rooted the Sony.
Model=A500
Brand=acer
Name=picasso_generic1
device=picasso
Save then reboot
Games working;
9mm
Modern combat 3
tintin
Gt racing
And a few more
David.
Works perfect now, thanks!
FANTASTIC. This was the first build prop that i tried. Some games still dont show up like real racing(which is one of my favs and FREE). Maybe i will look into trying a few more build props, its a case of trial and error in some cases.But I am pleased i was able to help as the Sony is mainly used a a gaming devise and e-book reader.
Happy times Buddy.
David.
I was thinking the galaxy tab would be the one to go for.. it's popularity is sure to in turn create the most compatibility with app. I haven't bothered yet due to assumin it might not work so well being 10.1 vs 9.5 inch tabs... any ideas?
I was thinking about using the Galaxy tab but went with the Acer. I may try it but the problem is that once the build prop is changed the installed games need to re download data again. Since ive got pretty much all the games I can(due to storage) installed I will wait until the external sd issue has been fixed.
I'll try the Asus Transformr Prime, Galaxy Tab 7.1 & 10.1.
The Acer build prop works for most of the games. I think the Prime would not be a good comparison as this uses a tegra 3 quad. Best to keep the build props roughly the same as the native one.
...........But you never know.
Build Prop changing ??? Very very new...
Can anyone tell me wat else this effects cause i've changed my build prop on my lg G-slate cause alot is not supported for it but will this mess anything up and once i get these games running can i change my build prop back with the games and apps still working?
In my experience once you change the build back to original then the games require the game data again or even worse they come up with incompatibility problems.Try find a build prop that has the same specs as the original device. I have never had any major problems changing the 4 lines above but thats not to say you wont. Good luck
Anyone else had any luck with build.props other than the a500? I would actually like modern combat 2 which doesn't seem to be showing with the a500 edit
You could always google for samsung 10.1 build prop. I was going to try this one but since the a500 worked for me i just left it
I downloaded the apk directly (not from Playstore) and it works fine ;-) I also bought to be fair to the developers. Great game!

Are you guys leaving your build.props modified to show a500 or are you changing back to the original Sony after you have the games installed and working?

Hi robber,
Just check it out - its very easy with v2.3 "Fake as other device" function.
One-click solution - to get Acer A500, or other one from four available devices.
Can be also reverted back as Sony with one click

Thanks. I have not played with 2.3 yet. Didn't realize that was a function. Nice.
I had to go through a lot of incompatibility problems to get it to work. i downloaded two different apks, from online. used one to download the data, juggled the data around and made it work for the second apk, if that makes any sense
This game is worth to buy.Dont understand why its not officially comatible with our tablet. Maybe because of implementation of ps3 pad drivers if yes. Btw its easy way to have it playable - my way. Its compatible with my xperia arc s so I bought game and move it on tablet. I dont see any bugs or texture loss. I also dont play on phone cause it starts heating very fast imo its not a theft. In this case it works I dont know what if you downloaded game on other device. There is also solution if game wont start after logo. Region change 2 UK on tablet setting , play and save game and revert region to this which was before. I tried play with ps3 pad -not working well. Btw2 multiplayer in this game rocks :laugh:
If we used appguard to disable mc3 to read phone state, wouldn't that work?

Hi to all. I know that the XZU is one of the best phablet to play games + other things but games is what got me to buy this awesome phone. I had the note II before my ultra there are some games that don't work on my ultra. one of my favorite game is Let's golf 3, and monopoly both of this games wont work or not correctly work on my ultra Let's golf 3 will install but too many windows so not playable. but there are other games that will work on my ultra that won't work on my note 2 like peggle and spb quads like others. so the ? is did you guy have most of those games working for you golf 3, monopoly classic and other good old games......
It looks like no body cares about what games work on the ultra or solutions to good and classic games that do not work on the ultra. because there are good games like [ let's golf 3 and monopoly ] that don't work on the ultra so.....
The lack of replies is not because we don't care, but maybe because we don't play those games. And if a game doesn't work, then it's the game developer's responsibility and not our.
So go ahead and contact EA or who ever is making those games.

ditto...
I didnt comment as I don't play those games. You could download the apk, and then unpack it and change the device info to alow your device to install it... then sideload the APK... That will get it working, but because of the DPI it may be a little scued. your call on that.
Thanks for your reply. But I was also refering to any other games aswell. I don't know if you guys play games or not but this device with this big screen is the best.that's why I made this this thread for people to talk about games. I did read about monopoly and lethe's golf 3 forums on their website but there's no solutions to this problem for now I was hoping that there was a tweack to make it work. But I'll wait thanks
The only games I've played on the ZU are Riptide GP2, Earn To Die and Simple Rockets and they all work as they should, so I haven't downloaded any games that doesn't work.

I've had issues with a couple of apps not being compatible with the XZU and have contacted the developer's in each case. In one case they admitted it's because they've mislabelled their compatibility criteria and it treated the XZU as a tablet, the other said they were aware of the issue and we're working on an update.
The others are right, it's an issue for developers if an app or game doesn't work, we can't change the code...

And others...hopefully will help this...
I too attempted to play Let's golf 3 and its tiled and broken. This is as of Dec 14th. I love the game but now that I have a powerful phone, it might be time to move on from GOLF games anyway. Golf was the perfect game for my old phone, Note 1. Sad that it doesn't work on the XZU
