Why is this phone having trouble with emulators? Gameboid and n64oid having frequent slow downs.
My nexus s was far better than this? What is the reasoning?
I've had no problems with both. On N64oid I've been playing a lot of Zelda with no problems. Are you sure power saving is not enabled?

Because you are probably using the US version.

Yeah I am on sprint. I just got a software update too maybe that has something to with it?
But still the evo had the old dual core and the nexus had a single core and they pladyed the games fine
US version is bad compared to int. People were saying "they're equal in term of perfs" my friend has the us version and n64 emulation freeze a lot while I have no problem on my gs3 int.

Anyone here with the US version (Verizon, Sprint, or Tmobile)? I have the S4 dual core with 2 gb ram

T-Mobile here running AOKP and faux kernel. No slowdowns in any emulator.
So are you guys telling me that touchwiz is soooo bad that it is causing the emulator to slowdown or is there a technical glitch in my phone? I really wanted to play n64 games on this big screen phone:silly:

Well when I was running stock touchwiz I would get slow downs on gameboid, snesoid, and n64oid, so yea touchwiz is a a big memory hog like sense but not as ugly.

There's NOTHING like the classics That's why
Because a game like Zelda can never be found on the play store or the pure nostalgia of Mario 64 cant be rejuvenated from app games. Anyways, is my only option is to root and get rid of touchwiz?
O btw, nintendo 64 was 64 bit : p

I had frequent slow-downs on n64oid as well when on stock and i have an int' phone. I didn't try it on asop or cm9 yet but lets put it like this, i did not have these same slow downs on my htc desire z/g2. Touchwiz is the culprit no doubt.

I'm having the same problem with the Verizon version of the galaxy s3. I have found that if you disable the sound than it works perfectly with no lagging.
Ya I figured out I t works good without sound but Zelda has some pretty epic soundtrack
How hard is the root for this phone? Evo 3d was a nightmare!

I'm interested in getting a Razr and I would appreciate some experience with playing games on it as I'm a big gamer. I have an iPod Touch, but I only play like three games on it because the screen is so small. Is the Razr capable of keeping up with intense games?

So there's no significant slowdown or freezing when playing intense games? When I play intense games on my Droid 3, after 20 minutes it becomes unusable and requires a reboot.

I recently acquired the craze for this amazing games available, and I can say they run awesomely great!
See, I used to have an Xperia, and the games were either too big (in MB) or too demanding (processing power) so I never really played, since the phone slowed down considerably.
Now with my RAZR, I tried a bunch of games that ran as smooth as butter, with very detalied graphics on the, oh so great screen, it's overall a much, much better experience. I tried GTA 3, Battle Bears, Spiderman HD, Real Racing 2 and Shine Runner. All took up 400-700 MB but they run with no hiccups.
Real Racing 2 works on the RAZR?

Yeah, just tried it this morning. Seems to work so far.
We've got a PowerVR GPU. It's enough.
Somehow, my riptide GP and sprinkle ( YES SPRINKLE) lag when i play them.
Also, the water effects in sprinkle is not real..it looks like round dots..which are really ugly. Already using chainfire3D but still there. dont really know why
It's not about capability, it's all about compatibility.

Agreed on GTA. Please also consider that unlike a few other recent devices, the Razr has a qHD, rather than 720p, so less pixels to push. Especially if you play game emulators, the Gnex and Rezound do not play very well with virtual pads, plus PSX and N64 play slower.
Pixels are a factor for game emulators and is why they play faster when in a smaller native window (less pixels to push). Not sure why there is not better scaling for Android, but all current chipsets have the issue.

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.

I haven't gotten around to trying any of these yet, but I was fairly pleased to find out that there exists Nintendo DS emulators. It sounds like there's lots of room for improvement though, and I can't wait for it to get better.
EDIT:
Gameloft released an update today that fixed most of the Tegra lag that most of us were running into. I'm glad to see the company responding to criticism.
OP:
Gameloft's much-anticipated foray into the world of Unreal graphics was released today... and it absolutely sucks on the TF201 with JB. It is so laggy that it is almost unplayable.
If you've got $7 bucks to spend on an action/adventure game, go with Horn.
Runs very smooth with ics oced to 1.7ghz. Some textures could be better upclose but is looking good overall and no lag.

I suppose that might be true but with optimizations for Tegra would mean that they've won out a huge share of the market that has capable hardware and they would've already won half the battle

I've got to say that it's a good thing that they had this updated for Tegra, but I've noticed that they've disabled all the shader graphics and sword swinging effects for the Tegra version, take a look at this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Q051U1nzjM&feature=youtube_gdata_player and notice the effects when the player swings the sword
Edit;
As from the Note 2 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=avQPCv9ki8k&feature=youtube_gdata_player full graphics are enabled as well, so it's just for the Tegra 3 that gameloft has disabled special effects
like it
make fun
See, this is the issue with the Tegra3 SoC. On one hand you have some great games developed for it (mainly by Madfinger) but on the other hand, other developers are taking effects out of their games in order to get their content to play smoothly on Tegra3 devices.

Really, one core? Which CPU monitor are you using? That seems really kind of ridiculous since all Android phones made in the last 2 years have 2 cores. The only devices that I know of that's come out in the last year that has a single core is the Intel based ones.
