Anyone able to get PSX4Droid to work on your NC with CM7?
You're better off with FPSE, much better emulator with a lot more updates.
Thanks. I was trying psx4droid because it was free. But $$ isn't hard to swallow if the games I want to play work properly.
I can guarantee that both versions of PsxDroid V1-V2 both work on the .29 kernel. I can guarantee the same thing for FPSE on .29.
Whether or not they work on .32, I'm not 100% sure. Normally I would just say that they should, but considering the recent incompatabilities with certain emulators, I wouldn't want to give you false information.
Im interested in doing this! but, Do i need BIOS or can i load straight eboots with or without the keys.bin. I have about 30 games i made from scratch (iso) to psx format eboots.(for psp) wondering if those work.
I'd have to check, but pretty sure you need the ISO's and Bios for both emulators. What's more, PSX4droid is ridiculously picky and needs very "clean roms." So certain games even when ripped from the original disc may not work.
Oh wow, Thats lame. Iso's are usually huge. Eboots are the compressed version. Have to grab that psp program for converting Isos to Eboots. Let me know if you have anything hosted. I'll try a few rips first.
Yeah, I know what Eboots are, lol. I've been actively playing JRpgs on my PSP lately. The nook does a good job of playing PSX Games, but it's far less portable when you have to consider a stand and a controller to make it okay for gameplay.
Granted, the On Screen Buttons work, but they work to the extent that all the other emulators work, just well enough...

Coolboarders - Not worth it
I just blew $6 on Coolboarders. I remembered playing Coolboarders 2 on the original PS, so thought this was a safe bet to try out the new PlayStation store. The graphics are kinda choppy, and the controls are really difficult. I'd hold off if you have your eye on Coolboarders, at least until the tablet works with a PS3 controller.
Its annoying because I have like 20 PSone games on my PS3 that I would have to repurchase to play on the tablet.
If anyone could rip /data/data/PACKAGE_NAME/libs/lib*.so for a PSN store game or get it out of the APK, PM me. I want to know how much the emulator has changed and if it would be more compatible with psxperia.
I downloaded WILD ARMS last night and played it for about 2 hours, I remember it being one of my favorite PS titles back in the day. Pretty fun, basic, linear RPG. Controlling the game with the on screen controller is very simple in this classic style rpg, but I could see how it could get more difficult on the faster-paced games since it's hard to keep a close eye on your thumbs while you're playing. That being said, animations were smooth and, although not improved much from the PS days - as expected - everything played perfectly. Would give 4.5/5 stars! I'll probably be downloading syphon filter and maybe midevil today!
yifanlu, if I knew how I might...
I watched a youtube video of someone playing Crash Bandicoot on the Sony Tablet S using a Logitech wired basic controller and every button worked, so I pulled mine out, plugged it in, and everything worked perfectly, I am excited. So I download a couple of games, start them up, and you know what? Not 1 of them worked with the controller perfectly (either the up down left right worked and the buttons didn't, or vice versa...). Yeah, I didn't expect for the Logitech controller to work, but after Crash Bandicoot, I was hopeful. Needless to say I don't like the button on screen style that Sony is insisting we use (until Playstation controllers are compatible).
I wonder when some good games are going to become available - I like RPG's so am anxious about FF7 (and all the FF titles, really), but there are many games I like on the PSX (Gran Turismo, Twisted Metal, Tony Hawk, Castlevania, Metal Gear Solid, Resident Evil, and on and on I could go...).
To me, a 32 year old (old school gamer) I can't enjoy playing a game without a gamepad, and never will...

Word. I don't care how "livable" touch controls can be. No physical buttons = fail.
I know it's Sony, and everyone is trying to make bigger profits, but sometimes you got to give a little to get a lot. This is out right before Christmas season and by offering some nice incentives might make this more appealing to buyers (and existing owners - you know, word of mouth).
It'll never happen, but I wish they would make it like an emulator so we could have more options, although it would probably require root. Funny thing about root with this, I had the manager at the Sony store in the mall tell me that "it will not void the warranty if I was to root the Sony Tablet S." Granted there isn't a program to root it, yet, that I know of, but would like the extra versatility it offers.
So I ended up buying Hot Shots Golf, Destruction Derby, and Wild Arms - none of them worked with either of my (wired) controllers (I have 2, both Logitech, one with the joysticks and one without, both had the issues I mentioned in my previous post so I guess you could say they half worked...). The graphics weren't bad, maybe a little better than the original Playstation, but it's been so long since I played on one I couldn't say - I never played a psp.
I just checked out of curiosity and once you buy a game (now all are $5.99), it appears that you can download it at any time - in case you don't have the memory on your tablet, or need to delete a game to make more room.
I bought a Seagate GoFlex portable 500gb hard drive at Wal Mart on sale for $50 a while back yet I have Windows 7 and it was formatted to NTFS (with Windows 7 you can't format to FAT 32 which is needed to be compatible with the Sony Tablet S). I finally took the time to find a program to do so, so now I can store all my music and video's (too bad not emulator's and roms...) and have access to them on the go. What else might I be able to do with an external hard drive and this tablet?
Does anyone know when more games are going to be released on the Sony Store?
Did anyone tried with Xbox360 USB controller?
I'm using the Wiimote, works like a charm..
use Wiimote controller app from market and you should be able to play every game, even the Psx games. (i use the Wiimote when playing NES games trough Nes.emu)
i saw on youtube when using the Logitech wired game controller the played Crash Bandicoot with a Psx emulator, think it was called FPSe (google it)
Wfr Peter
Stay away from hot shot golf 2. Delay on swing and just not good. I remember when it came out for my ps. Loved it. This is the same game but the touch screen gives it a delay and it just Doesn't do it.

I refuse to buy games from the PS Store on this until they properly integrate it with purchases I have already made on my PSP/PS3 I am not paying again for the same game I have already bought previously.
Now that PS3 controllers work natively, has anyone had experience with PSX emulators on this tablet? which one works best?
I ask before I pay rofl
I use FPse, it works fine, but has sound problems in some games. With FPse I use not original sony controller.
I did not have time to test psxperia version 2. Version 1 did not work.
Sent from my R800i
anyone tried FPSe or PSX player w/ official PS3 joypad via bluetooth?
Tempted to drop the cash on FPSe anyway but if it doesn't work with the joypad then I'll be p1ssed (can't see why not as long as it supports manually assigning buttons).
I swear I bought a PSX emulator in the distant past, ran like a dog on my Nexus One, forgot about it, now can't find it anywhere. Could have been removed like SNESoid. That policy is ---- terrible, at least let us DL the last available version for those who've PAID the money lol.

I will try that tonight when I get home, I will run the FPSE with my favourite game, Street Fighter and use my PS3 controller to play the game via bluetooth.

appreciate it, I'll be getting back to wifi tomorrow (on holidays now so only intermittently available, defo not in a comfortable system tinkering setting rofl) so would appreciate if you let me know how well it works (or not).
SNES emulation w/ PS3 joypad is perfect with SNESdroid (after a bit of manual settings), PSX emulation would be the ultimate.
I don't understand why Sony hasn't gotten off their butts and placed the entire PSX catalogue or as much of it as they can legally manage onto the official PS Store channels, and at a better price point - those ROMs are free money basically. I would happily pay official prices for ease of use/DL etc. if they had a better selection and pricing. (e.g. 3-5 USD per game). Why there's only ten or so titles right now I have no idea (or is there more on the store on Xperia play?).
If they managed it they could basically take an almighty crap on even the apple store's games catalogue in one swoop, the games are all already done and most of them work fine via emulation already.

I have tested to install the FPSE Emulator on my Tablet, launch the FPSE with my PS3 controller connected via bluetooth then proceed to play the game by loading the Street Fighter ROM.
Of course, you will need to disable the on-screen controller layout then configure the hardware keys then you will be able to control using the Digital Pad and Analog joystick to play the game, it is fun playing the Street Fighter game on my Tablet with the PS3 wirelessly.
market error: the item you were attempting to purchase could not be found
?!?!?!?
EDIT: figured it out, its been bloody marked as incompatible in the market for this model. I'm betting Sony had something to do with this. FWIW getting the APK (I bought it on my Atrix) and manually sideloading it works fine.
Bloody sony, typical for them to shoot themselves in the foot (memo: if you're gonna ban emulators, have more than a pathetic dozen games in your official market, and only crap ones at that rofl).
though I do swear even though I'm getting 60fps, it 'feels' way choppier, should be butter smooth but just doesn't feel like it, if I had to guess I would have said ~20-25fps. I do have framelimiter on, because if I have it off the gameplay is on super turbo faster than the human eye lol

I'm running into the same issue. It looks like it has to do with the new dual core option in the latest version (though I'm not sure why it would). I tested different settings with the option to show the fps on. With the Dual core option on it reports that i'm currently running at around 60 fps yet menus and gameplay seemed to sttutter more than they should. With the option off, it reports that I'm around 40 fps and yet menus and gameplay seem smoother. Both os these is with the framelimiter on. I used Hot Shots Golf 2 for testing.
cheers I'll try turning it off lol
edit: You're a GENIUS working great!
What apps does everyone here think are the best for the Prime? Since this is going to have enough juice for gaming, I want to try some of my old faves. I have not used any in Android before, any useful tips would be much appreciated. Thanks
I recently installed (on TF101) Emulator ROMs with a large portfolio of ROMs to download and SNesoid - both work great. (Emulator ROMs allows downloading ROMs for SNesoid)
I also had aDosBox (or sth similar) once for DOS games.
There is also an Amiga emulator but it was subpar from what I remember, and I don't know the exact name.
SNesoid is great for SNES games and allows saving game (made playing Lost Vikings and Lost Vikings II so much less frustrating ). It works great with keyboard but you need to setup the keys first.
Gameboid, and n64oid and nesoid all work great.
Sent from my Transformer Prime TF201 using xda premium
Edit: they aren't in the market though, so get them from SlideME or Google them
snesoid is hands down the best !
i like scummvm, get to play old adventure games like day of the tentacle, sam and max, etc.
GemRB! = Planescape Torment (best rpg game ever!) and rest blackisile games like BG 1&2 or IWD 1&2.

Any PS2/PS2 emulators?
Sadly the prime doesn't have the hardware to support this. However, there is a Ps1 emulator available.

the prime has enough juice/power to easily do PS2 games. there just isn't a PS2 emulator available yet because this the first time a device been released that could push those specs or more. Shadowgun tegra3 version easily has better graphics than any ps2 game ever released. Prime power is in-between an Xbox(more powerful than a ps2) and a ps3(not quite there yet but close. prime produces some amazing videos to almost rival it). I would love to see a ps2 or Xbox emulator pop up for Tegra3 devices/Prime.
even the dual core tegra2 has games that rival ps2 or look better. Tegra3 is a whole lot more powerful than tegra2. CPU wise and Gpu wise. don't underestimate the prime and tegra3. some game developers already said it'll be very easy to port PC games to tegra3 without any loss on graphics quality or speed. some games already on tegra3 use exact same visuals as PC counterpart. developer said this makes it easy for them to make games for more than one platform in parallel. not having to worry about dumbing down anything.

just finished playing Bloody Roar 2 on my Prime with FPse emulator . works great.
Einhander is a classic n plays really good also. about to download Marvel vs. Capcom and play that ;-)
FPse by far the best PlayStation emulator hands down. plays just as if I'm really playing on PlayStation. tinkering around with system and video settings in game will help game look and play even better. still messing around seeing what does what.

Tegra 3 takes gaming to a level never before seen
I have Nesoid, Snsesoid, Gensoid, and FPse w/ every ROM made for each (except FPse of course) on my G2X and they all run great! Cant wait to try them out on my TFP.

happy new year! they all run n look great on Prime. yeah those psx roms are huge..lol won't take too many to fill up prime memory if you get carried away..lol
Do you use a BT remote like the wii remote with your emulators? Is an additional program like wiimote needed for a wii controller to work? Asus information about the prime makes it sound like no other software is needed to get a wii, ps3, or xbox remote to work. It is all built in.

But to emulate a device you need a lot, a lot of CPU power, more than the original device had. I doubt Tegra3 is enough for this task. I hope I'm wrong.

I also use the ..oid emulators. They play great, but I can't seem to get the Wii remote to work correctly on the prime. The button mapping doesn't register to the game, instead, it registers the button push to Google search, or to the file explorer where the game is stored.Weird.
I've downloaded bluezime, wiimote and Wii controller from the market with the same result.
Anyone else have this issue?
GenPlusDroid works great for SEGA games! If you uncheck "Maintain Aspect Ratio" it will go fullscreen. I ordered the Joystick-it joystick for my Prime too, should be good.

Even my PC has problems with PS2 emulation and it is considered an enthusiast computer.
Core i7 920 OC'd to 3.6GHz from 2.66GHz
18GB of DDR3-1600 CAS-9 RAM
Two GeForce GTX 460s 1GB in SLI
Three 500GB WD 7,200 RPM HDDs in RAID-0
Even with that I have problems with PS2 emulation.
About PS2 Emulation
As a general rule of thumb you need 4x the speed of the hardware you are trying to emulate.
I read about emulator for very old, very slow game console that was slow on 3Ghz processor because it was very precisely emulating everything. For most things you don't need that precission but sometimes games don't work on amulators because of that.
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.
