emulators help - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi guys I had both gameboid and gamecoid on my dinc 1. However now that I upgraded to a Samsung galaxy s III both emulators don't seem to be working I already defined the bios and everything the games still don't seem to be working. What I get is just a black screen I was hoping to continue with the progress that I had made on my previous phone. I hope that somebody knows how to solve this issue I am still a little new with the phone and have been playing with it all week. If I have have to change the apps to other game boy emulators I will.
Some side notes
First time Samsung user
Not rooted Samsung galaxy s III
With 64 gb sd card
Other devices
Nonrooted xoom WiFi
Rip HTC droid incredible, rooted
Thank you for any help you guys can give

Technically this is the wrong section
They all work for me but sound is really buggy and slows down the games on all emulators :-(
Google'd it and found out if you're having my problem set game skip to 0 and it should fix it...
GBA.EMU https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.explusalpha.GbaEmu
Is the only one I've found that works without a hitch on my I9300
GBA.emu
Frame skip 0
sound 22KHz
Smooth sailing
Hope you figure out what's wrong with yours.

Tried setting the max skips to 0 and gamecoid now runs but very buggy however gameboid still doesn't work I will play with the settings more and check out gba.emu during these next couple of weeks if I figure it out I would post in this forum

Finally figured it out my emulators were out of date downloaded the newest version from this website

Playstation Emulator Out on Market

Mod Removal - Warez
What do I do with this .bin file? I tried extracting it & just opening as an archive
The bin file is the playstation bios for the emulator, you put it in one of the folders for the emulator to run.
Although the bios itself is generally considered to be warez.
I am going to try out Gran Turismo 1*2 muhahaha

Guys I recommend trying Road Rash it's one those gems that can be played with touchscreen controls, I've been playing the Genesis version on my Hero and it works really well ,but it pales in comparison to the to the Playstation game which IMO was the pinnacle of the series, Heck I still play it on my Pc sometimes, probably my favorite racing game.
perhaps the release of this emulator will spark interest in my thread regarding whether or not there are bluetooth 3.0 capable controllers for our phone since the wiimote app wont work on our phones =/
this might be pretty cool...
Does any one know what extension this uses for games?
I have found multiple roms but none of them seem to work.
Some .zip,.tar,.z7,.z2
Any help.

I played Bloody Roar on the PSX Emulator and I can say it's pretty good. The only problem is that it runs quite slow, no lag however.
X2. I can confirm it also running slow with gran turismo. Still fun and playable nonetheless

yeah it works! Currently I tried, Silent Hill, Gran Turismo 2, and Final Fantasy 7.
They all work. Except there is some artifact on your character in Silent Hill, it's not that disruptive. I thought GT2 was running a little slow but when I look at the time/timer during the race, the number seems to move at a very smooth [normal] rate. Is the game originally this slow?
ps - will try Metal Gear Solid & Super Puzzle Fighter right now. will let you know

Not sure why, but this is the only app I've ever tried to purchase that says Authorizing.....................................................
I guess maybe I'm not allowed to try this one huh?
5 retires and a reboot and I've gotten no where.
okay, so far this worked
Gran Turismo 2
Final Fantasy 7
Silent Hill
SUPER PUZZLE FIGHTER 2 TURBO
Does not work
Metal Gear Solid - at least with the default options, maybe have to tweak it a littlebit.
problem installing
ok i dont understand how to install the rom. i looked for psx iso roms from google, download and install sdcard. i click on psx4droid to open then scph1001.bin and after that screens goes black. what am i doing wrong. please help
Final Fantasy 9 seems to be working, but the FMVs have no sound. Its strange as FF7's FMVs play fine w/ sound.
FF7 and Crash Bandicoot work great though. Cant wait to see where this goes, w/ some work and updates Thanks!

How many FPS are you guys getting on the game considering that the streak is limited to 30fps?
i tried FF8 plays good but the squall was running it seemed like he was actually walking lol. but on the world map it kept getting stuck
and there was also the sound issue damnit and when changing screens from one room to another there wasa vertical line on the rightside. jus 1px... anyone else same problem?

dont gag too much ^^ but i got mine from pirates!! yo-ho!
anyone else with similar issue? i will try ff9.. and 7 tonight
how is sound on all the green games up there?
If there in green it means they play just like they did: ) if there blue it mean they run but might be slow or crap sound, Red just don't work. GREEN I would say run at full 30fps cos its just so good ill up date more tomorrow.

haha this is great!
I've just been playing Colin McRae 2.0 on my Streak. Bananas!
Admittedly it's only JUST playable and you can't use the in car view really but the view showing the bonnet works well enough. Didn't check the framerate (can you?) but i'd estimate maybe 20ish? It responds to input well enough at least. CMR 2.0 used to push the limits of the actual Playstation so it's quite impressive seeing it running on a mobile device
btw screen refresh rate worked best at 30 and scaling set to 2x
looking forward to trying more stuff out with this! My Streak gets better by the day at present!

Maybe Im wrong here but when ff7 is changing disc it gives you a option to save before hand.

[Q] Could anyone run a Benchmark ?

i wanted to ask, could you try dungeon defenders on your galaxy s ii. Even though dom has tried it and it did not work, for some reason electricpig said it worked smoothly?
anyway could you please try it, its free from the market place:

Here's a benchmark, (can't upload in-app for some reason):

I'll download DD and see how that goes...
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App
God that was a long download!
DD doesn't work. Gets through the intro movies, but the main menu is a black screen. Fortunately I know where to tap to set up a game. Once you get to start a game though, it crashes to home screen. No force close, just straight to home screen.
I'll keep it installed in case they update it.

What bloody device will Dungeon Defenders run on!!!
Well, it works on my SGS 1 just fine
It seeams like the game needs updating. From reading some reviews of the game on the market place, some people say the game is not working properly once they upgraded to 2.3.3 version of gingerbread. These were galaxy s owners.
Even the retail unit can't run DD, why?
But my friend's Galaxy SL is running fine, a bit fps drops from time to time though
hey r2001uk
please could do another favour for me?
could you try the ps1 emulator FPse on the galaxy s ii and try tekken 3
I would like to see how it performs on this beast
thanks in regrads
I have fpse but no games on my card yet, I'll get back to you.
N64oid playing Mario Kart is damn near perfect though, even with sound on.

[Q] Metal Gear Solid - PSX Emulator

Hey,
I currently have a PSX emulator installed on my Atrix and I expected it to run Metal Gear fine, in fact I have seen videos of it running perfectly...so what am I doing wrong
I've downloaded the game, got a BIOS and it plays at 50 fps, BUT it loads every second, literally, it pops up with the little symbol showing that its reading the disc, then plays a little bit really smooth and then loads again.
Just wondering what people have done to get it running smooth.
Thank You

Where did you get the rom and BIOS for it?
I couldnt tell you, but if you could perhaps link or tell me how to navigate through google
What PSX emulator do you have? It sounds like it is either the BIOS file or just the app itself. Try a different emulator.
Sounds like a setting or the BIOS. Like the others said test it with another emulator too.
While I haven't tried it at all, it could be a memory speed issue. I noticed the internal Atrix storage writes at about 1 MB/s, so it probably reads around 2, whereas a psx disc is like, 10-15?

No, I don't think it's that. It works fine on any emu I play it on... I've used much slower devices with no trouble at all.

N.O.V.A. 2 - Google Play Market

DONT DOWNLOAD THIS GAME. IT'S NOT COMPATIBLE WITH THE GALAXY NOTE.
bummer... i just got suckered out of 49 cents
There is a 15 minutes return period.
Sent from my SGH-I717R using Tapatalk
I think you have a short time frame to submit a request for a refund.
Speaking of not compatible... I noticed there's a lot of good games that aren't. Being new to Android for the most part - why is that? Seems like the phone has enough power to run them.

Screen resolution plays the biggest factor I believe.

No. Most of the games that "aren't compatible" with the Note would run fine. My Xoom runs these games flawlessly and it has the same resolution on a larger screen and isn't as powerful. The Note is plenty powerful enough and virtually all of those "incompatible" games can be made to work with relatively simple root changes and sideloading. Search around a bit and you can find info on it. N.O.V.A. 2 running on the Note is nothing new....
Good luck.

I've heard that if youchange the build.prop with the international galaxy note like n7000 somehig like thy Cynthiaa think of the top of my head but I heard that would make it "compatible" LOL
Must be rooted, I enter rememebrr the exact instructiimons because I've never need to do it?

I bought this as well. Contacted Gameloft support because the return function didn't refund the app. They gave me a link to download N.O.V.A 2 HD which FC's when you start a new game still trying to get my 49ยข back after a days worth of emails.
Sent from my SGH-I717R using XDA
I tried changing the build.prop to show as the international version. It worked and allowed me to download the additional game data. Strangely modern combat 3 worked perfect but games such as 9mm and asphalt 6 didnt work correctly. Asphalt had a strange camera angle where you are shifted to the right so itz unusable and 9mm has a pink color on the start screen. Probably due to the different hardware. I downloaded the adittional data for Modern COmbat 3 and changed the build prop back to the att galaxy note. Atleast i got one "incompatible" game to work
This happened to me as well, emailed google 3 times but no reply yet...
I can't even find the game in the market anymore, or in my apps.
please update once anybody gets a refund or get this game to work.
It should say incompatible before you actually pay.. I tried it with one of the other games and I clicked buy it started downloading and when it tried to install aborted and said incompatible, and I wasn't charged even though I authorized purchase...
Just side load. Did it with nova off my a500

Sorry about your 49 cents big guy.
Looks like Modern Combat 3 has the same issue. Gameloft still hasn't responded. Hopefully they update the titles soon.

Thanks for the heads up. I was kinda pissed that Deadspace wouldn't load and that did the trick. I actually tried that when I first opened it, but it seems to work better if you tap just below the loading bar.
