N64oid: Good performance on TP? - TouchPad General

Just curious if anyone has been able to get N64oid playable on their Touchpad.
I'm running CM9 nightlies, perhaps I have some settings not set properly.
I also have chainfire which may or may not help. But it would be a riot if I could get this working.

Yes, I use n64oid on the Touchpad with not problems. It works great and has never malfunctioned. Just search and download off the internet. My favorite website to get roms it MOD EDIT (NO WAREZ LINKS ALLOWED) . If you need any other help just ask me because it works great for me.

Interesting, I have several ROMs, maybe they are just bad ones.
Would you be able to point me a download of a Rom that works smoothly for you?
Thanks!
Also, which ROM are you running on your TouchPad?

We can't give you any links to ROMs.
Just google them.
Try the basics, Mario 64, Mario Kart, etc.
I've played Majora's Mask, and it runs pretty smooth for an emulator. I overclocked it to 1500mhz and it runs smoothly. That's a higher than average n64 game, I think.
I'd invest in a wiimote/classic controller for heavy gaming if that's what you're into. Onscreen controls are often hard for n64 games.
I'm running the latest official nightly of CM9 (3/29)

I keep getting major slowdowns at 2 frames skipped but incredibly chopping gameplay at 3+ in majora's mask using 3/29 office dial @ 1.5ghz. Basically unplayable. Ocarina works well enough, though.

Tried a few on Gingerbread 3.5, video ran fine, sound a bit choppy, certainly playable though, used a wiimote.

[Q] nds4droid

has anybody tries this on the nook color. if it works that would make the nook even more amazing.
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.chaos.nds4droid&feature=search_result
This does look pretty cool.
It is a work in progress, and there is much work to do to improve the speed of the games from what I have read.
I don't think sound is functional yet either, but it seems like the app is updated fairly frequently, so sound could come in a matter of days or weeks I would imagine.
I'm going to give it a try later tonight and I will report back...
Tiger Labs has a free NDS emulator out which, while not updated often, is still a better application than this $10 one.
That will probably change a month or two from now, but I think he has a lot of balls to charge $10 for an app that offers much less than the free competition.
You should also know that there has been work done on a Sega Saturn and Dreamcast Emulator.
And i'm really hoping for a NDS emulator soon, as it would make it a lot easier to play Phoenix Wright or Professor Layton games at work ;p.
So I just played with it a bit. I'm running CM7 Stable with the 4/12 kernel. Interactive Governor, 1000mhz - Min/ 1100mhz - Max.
And it's choppy... Pokemon SS seemed to be semi-playable and Dragonball Kai - Butoden loaded fine, but was very slow. I haven't had a chance to try Phoenix wright or any of the Layton games just yet, so i'll update when I get a chance on those.
Also going to grab the Tiger Demo NDS Emulator and compare.
Ive tried Both Tigernds and nds4droid, while tiger ran it only ran in a small window, not idea for the nook colors big screen, and nds4droid was pretty slow but ran, but i could only get it to run with the games they listed on the download, other than those games i don't think they will run any others. It was said to be just a proof of concept though so it should be changing as development progresses with it. Tiger just didn't measure up for me.

[Q] Nvidia Tegra Zone Hack

Has Anyone got TegraZone games to play on ANY ROM for the G tablet?
I'm running Fruit Ninja THD, Samurai 2: Vengence, and Dungeon Defenders: First Wave all on my gTab which is running VEGAn 5.1.1 without any hacks or mods beyond the rom itself.
They all run fine here..running Calkulin rom....no tweeks/hacks needed.
Good to know. Thanks much guys.
I wonder if any Ginger ROMs can run them. I would guess not without hardware acceleration though.

They all work fine on TNTLite 4.40. No hacks needed.
somebody help me, I can't download any games from tegra zone (not even free ones), it says "the requested item could not be found". I'm running vegan tab 5.1 beta. Is there any ways to fix it like we did with the android market

They run fine. Hardware acceleration only applies to videos. Not 3D rendering.

Got more to back up that "BS" opinion? Has anyone complained of poor play on CM7 or Vegan Ginger? The games play fine for me on CM7.0.3.
Are you having trouble getting them to show up in the Market? Because that's a different question.
@spammhead
For myself and a friend (3 tablets - one from Sears, one from electroniccrap.com, and one from Woot!) we found that in Hero of Sparta, Hawx, Quadrant tests, and a few other games - the ones mentioned stand out the most in my memory, would not display all textures is maps unless we were running a FroYo build with full acceleration. I think Sandstorm was another that had trouble.

Riptide GP and Bang Bang Racing THD both work perfectly for me on CM 7.0.3.

While I would have put it more diplomatically you are correct. While 3D games "work" on GB roms they do not have the same visual texture as when running on one of the popular FroYo roms. I have two gTabs one running VEGAn 5.1.1 and the other running CyanogenMod 7.0.3. They both have their uses.
I noticed no change in 3d textures on games like Dungeon Defenders and Samurai II when moving from 2.2 to 2.3 (CM7, nightly 85). The only issues were with the videos for Dungeon Defenders, but those are all resolved now. Riptide runs perfectly and looks just like it does in Youtube videos I've seen of it, so I'm not sure what you're talking about as far as different visual textures. I think the only hardware acceleration that's missing is in high def videos, but OC'd at 1.4, software does everything I can throw at it fine in Moboplayer.
EDIT: Added a screenshot from Riptide. Does it look different than it does on 2.2? Please post a screenshot from the same map (Twister) so I can compare.
EDIT again: Added more screenshots. Samurai II, Pinball HD, Dungeon Defenders. I want to note that in all these games, I was more interested in taking the screenshot than I was in playing. I don't suck *that* bad.
OK, so you may be missing some fine texturing, but gameplay is not affected enough to merit a warning against buying the game to play on Gingerbread.

If I'm missing texturing, I'm not seeing it. Otherwise, with the currently nightly of CM7, the video issues (like the opening video in Dungeon Defenders) that appear in Vegan Ginger aren't present, so yeah, I think it's fair to say that the "Ginger isn't good for games" factor is wrong.
The only thing that drives me nuts about CM7 right now is the boot times.
after having played many tegra games on froyo and gbread, I have never noticed texture differences or anything else. the latest libraries in cm7 and aosp work wonderfully for everything I have tried.
Tegra Zone loaded and Dungeon Defender works on (gasp) stock 3588.
Hi to all. Guys, what about tegra games on Honeycomb? On my G Tablet with [ROM][BL1.1] GtabComb alpha1.6 for Bootloader 1.1 Gtablet these games didnt work. When I tried install any tergra games I get error.
Any ideas?
P.S. Sorry for my English, I am from Russia.

SNES ROM/Emulators running slow

Hi, I want to play old SNES games on my Optimus One but all the emulators i tried are slow/laggy, the fastest was SuperGNES lite, But it's still a bit slow and lags a bit, How can i get SNES Roms to run properly on my Phone?
Will emulators run faster if i install this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=870640
or this?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=881045
Will the emulators run better if i install a custom ROM that has been optimized for performance like Prime v2 or something? Or should i overclock my phone?(not sure what that means but i heard it makes the phone faster)
I really want to play SNES games on my phone, If anyone knows how to get them to work properly on this phone please let me know.

Retro gaming

Didn't see a retro gaming (emulator) specific thread for the mopho and figured I'd start one
so how many people are using emulators? Any issues?
I got fpse, snes9x ex, and sixaxis running on mine
Haven't played around with the psx much, but did notice it's a bit laggy on some games
Also get a reboot issue sometimes when I leave the sixaxis connected and try to do something else such as web browsing
I use n64oid and gameboid all the time. Gameboid runs flawlessly. N64oid runs good too but it can be a little laggy and/or buggy. Still very playable tho, especially enjoyable over hdmi mirroring. I don't have any controllers hooked up so I don't really know how well that works.
The ps3 remote works well for me, tested it out on some psx fighting games like dark stalkers, no lag and you can do all the special moves
Been playing snes rpgs for the past month, not really the best thing for testing limits
I have all the emulators but only messed around with n64oid. Runs pretty smooth on most roms. Even Zelda, which was unplayable on my ogEvo, was smooth.

[Q] Why do games perform so poorly?

I've played Fruit Ninja THD, Modern Combat 3 and Grand Theft Auto 3 but the framerate is really poor. Id say itsmonly running at 15-20 FPS. Why is this? I love games and this tablet but if this is the case then I'll be quite disappointed.
(Rooted and Running the Galaxy Task ROM, btw)
same here! The framerate is very poor when playing gta 3
I haven't experienced any problems yet, played GTAIII & Fruit Ninja THD (and many more), perfectly smooth... You could try to reflash your rom, or maybe overclock..
ps running Galaxy Task 10

Other games seem perfectly fine actually, just the heavy games seem to have trouble running. It's a shame, I was looking forward to playing GTA3 with my PS3 controller at at least 25 FPS but oh well
Perhaps background processes push CPU usage over the edge for you. I don't have GTA 3 but fruit ninja is flawless on my tab.
reflash...should help. i'm on stock and both games work at maybe 40-50 FPS? anyway its really smooth. (i'm on stock btw)

Reflashed, fruit Ninja is fine now but GTA 3... Still pretty laggy, especially if rain falls. I already removes the audio folder so it runs flawlessly with no audio and while its not raining, but still I damn well miss audio. If I knew how to modify the gta3.set I'd just disable rain, lights, shadows, draw distance, etc... I'm more concerned with performance that graphics.
