Virtual Boy Emulation - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Does anyone know if a Virtual Boy Emulator has ever been released, or if one is being worked on for Android? I picked up an EVO3d off a friend and was thinking it should be feasible, and would show the 3d display off very well... I know it only has ~20 titles, so it's a long shot...

I don't think they have one out yet, lots of GBA and others out there though!

Not Game Boy or GBA, but Virtual Boy.

Virtual Boy is a Nintendo game console released in mid-1990s with 3D single-colored display. Players are required to put it on like glasses to play it. see its wikipedia article for details

Virtual Boy in DOS in Android
Alternatively what you can do is run the DOS version of Reality Boy in a DOSBox port running on Android. I tried this and it was able to run the graphics at about 2 fps, so it's not really playable. I don't think the sound worked either.
Anyway, while I'd be willing to pay several monies for one, I think the above is the closest you'll come, short of some RDP solution.

RetroArch
RetroArch seems to be the only one there is for Android. Emulates a bunch of other stuff too.
Only thing: only emulates one d-pad, not two like on the Virtual Boy.

Ps3 games on your smartphone or tablet!!!!

Idk if anyone has posted this yet... But I'm posting it anyways lol
There's an app called ONLIVE.. that's you could play ps3/ Xbox like games! it's crazy you get the graphics of the console on your smartphone and every game has a trial... In some you will need to buy the wireless remote which is $49.99 on the website and you can play via pc, tablet, any android smartphone!!!
TRY IT!
(If the game lags download RAM MANAGER from the market..(pro) and select hardcore gaming takes away aloooot of the lag

What games have you tested?

Sent from my PG86100 using xda premium
Thats what that app is. Olympus rom comes w it!
Lucky hT-z 3D
according to the onlive website the controller requires android 4.0 on smartphones (http://support.onlive.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/432) (idk how 4.0 is going on cdma but gsm does not have a stable version) so if you do not have 4.0 don't buy a controller yet
That sucks lol

Metal Gear Solid on SGS2

Didn't see this In search, how do I play Metal Gear Solid on my phone? I think I need 3 apps. A psx emulator, the game, and sixaxis app.
Edit: I have FPSe 11.11, scph101.bin, and Rom buddy 1.8 on my phone. No wifi ATM but gonna get MGS ver 1.1? 2 discs
Is there a newer MGS on our phones? Like Snake Eater: Subsistence?

Dumb auto-correct sometimes.
You seem to have answered your own question?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I777 using xda premium
You have what you need. A ps1 emulator and it's correct firmware .bin, the usa metal gear solid rom, and any app that lets you use whatever controller you want. That's probably the newest metal gear you'll get as the others are on ps2 and ps2 emulation is horrible on pc let alone a phone. If you haven't played the original metal gear 1 and 2 on the msx you should try them, pretty hard games though if you don't know what you're doing.

Not 100% true. If you have a decent rig, your comp can play PS2 games flawlessly. And I'm speaking from experience. Emulator worked on my old system which was a mere dual core with decent vid card and 3gb ram.

To fellow emulator addicts

N64oid was just updated again so some more games are working now. Unfortunately my favorite game of all time resident evil still doesn't work dammit. I just spent an hour playing sanfrancisco rush racing and 1080 snowboarding. What memories. The dude has done a good job with this app.
Anyway,just a heads up

Well you can always buy a n64 that's sure to work. Trust me emulators are cool and all but it plays Soo much better on the real thing. I got a Sega Saturn, N64, Vectrex, Gamecube, Dreamcast, and Sega Genesis. They all play better than emulation. Fyi Saturn and dreamcast can play "backed up games" if you know how.

Best job I ever had.

Question based on a comment I saw on the RPG game thread in this forum. If you're using an emulator and have a phone with a slide out keyboard, can you use the keyboard as a controller like you would when using an emulator on a PC? I might have to get a Shift if that is true!

Pretty much. You just assign whatever key you want to be whatever function you want via the emulator's gamepad settings.

Fpse requires you to force mono core for some games to work. While a bios will provide more accurate emulation, I've found it considerably slower than running on software alone. Without using the BIOS file the emulator will revert to HLE, which can better use the hardware in your phone.
Final Fantasy III in the Play Store is great news. Anyone know if they will bring FF and FF II as well? I wish they'd hurry up and bring us a decent FFVI remake. I've given up holding my breath for an FFVII remake on any platform.

Interesting info about playing without bios. I always thought that quick saves wouldn't work without bios. Is that not correct? I always gotta click force mono core. I mostly play ff7 and ff9.

Man, can't tell if this is the best thing ever or the worst. It's all I've been doing all day long!!
Nice, it's a little spendy but worth the price for the high res if you're a final fantasy fan. I really hope they port the other games that they have released for iOS as well.

DevRequest: Any chance of a PSP Emulator??Please

XDA DEVS are the most talented guys in the Planet when it comes for Android platform,i know that a lot of Devs have been creating such amazing apps and mods for years, so it comes to mind that they created a lot of GBA emulators and Atari consoles emulators on Android devices but why not the PSP?? i strongly think that THE GALAXY S3 can HANDLE "Any" Psp game because of obvious reasons Ram-QuadCore Processor HD display-Battery life-Etc!!Please Any thoughts speak your mind below.Thanks guys!
i have a galaxy s3 and if i have a psp emulator for it ... i think i am never going to sell it
untill ps2 or ps vita emulator comes out ... and mah device cant handel it ....
:good::fingers-crossed:
Interesting idea must say.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
It would be awesome if we could play patapon on our S3! ^^
This would be near impossible as no PSP games support multi-core functionality. Also, to emulate a key part of an OS is ridiculous. Even if they did make it work, it will run extremely slowly. Most emulators require at least 6-10 times the processing power of the original device. If you took the PSP-1000 (Phat PSP) which is 333MHz, and multiplied it by 6-10, you need a single core running at least 2GHz to 3.3GHz.

Umm no. Not any time soon. There isn't even a pc emulator for the psp around and no one seems interested mostly because every subsequent psp game comes with a higher firmware requirement which would be a pain in the ass for devs to crack every time.
