Minecraft was released for the Xperia play.
I haven't tried this out yet but I'm thinking:
build.prop edit
Chainfire 3D + Qualcomm
Wii Classic Controller remapped to Xperia Play
Hmm, having a problem getting it from the market. I have edited my build.prop to show up as "Sony Ericsson R800i" in the market, however the market still says the game is incompatible.
Is your phone ARMv7? I downloaded the apk of the demo and installed it, then, when I lauch the app it crashes. My phone is still an ARMv6 architechture ..

Good thing this is the Nook Color forums.....still.
I have the demo, it runs but the screen size is smaller than that of the Nook Color.
The classic controller works, though I can't figure out how, if possible, to remap the right analog stick to act as the xperia's right touchpad.
I can walk around the generated level and jump, build, etc, I just can't turn the camera so it's pointless.
No chainfire/build.prop edits here. (But I didn't get the .apk from the market.)
sinfulandroid.com has a modified version of the demo that loads.
ps3 sixaxis works, but same problem you have with no right stick.
Yeah I wanted to do this without having to goto a hacked APK.
There is a Wiimote app in the market that lets you remap all the Xperia Play controls. I was going to use that. Can't remember the name right now.
Also I am running 240 DPI (MIUI) so I think the assets will size properly
Yeah, I don't think I have a hacked .apk, but I've tried the "hacked" one and I see no difference. It might just be promotion for that site...
wiimotecontroller lets you map the xperia controls. Just not the xperia touchpads as far as I can tell.
the app I have is called wiimotecontroller and its free on the market. good luck on getting it to work ill experiment a bit too
EDIT: whoops, I didn't see the post above me...

I'm hopeful, but disappointed. Just got the Sixaxis to work on the nook and started walking in Minecraft and got all excited, then realized I couldn't turn. Someone here has got to be smart as **** and be able to make the touchpad a mappable an option in either app.
i saw a video on youtube that someone played that game on the arc, anyone got a download that actually works?
You´ve got a PM!!!!
Can someone PM me too!
I would like this file also please! I can't even purchase it from Game loft anymore and I have an Xperia Arc.
Thanks so much!

hi all,
does anyone know if the xperia games can be ported/played on the GS2.
my friends xperia came with crash bandicoot and its great,
anyway i can install on my GS2?
ive played many uncompatible games with chainfire, but i copied out the apk from the xperia but cant even get it to install.
thanks.
It's a PSone game, for which there are emulators on the market. Then if you own the original game, you can rip it and play it on your phone.
are you sure its the PSone version?
graphics seemed a whole lot better on the xperia.
i have the emulator installed and the crash games.
Recently, I decided to go on the Playstation Store, through my Tablet S. Turns out, there was an update. Simple enough to install... However, there weren't any noticeable changes to the store itself. I downloaded the games MediEvil and Jet Moto again, seeing how I used to love those games, and I did download them whilist they were free. I had to get rid of them, cause there wasn't enough storage space on my 16GB Tablet. After reinstalling them and everything, the UI was noticeably... Smaller. The buttons in the menus no longer took up the entire screen, and although I may be wrong, I think the Graphics are slightly improved. Text in games seemed less pixelated....
These changes haven't done anything to Pinball Heroes, or Crash Bandicoot.
Anyone here know if there are going to be more games added, or improvements to the emulator?
i guess Sony is the only one who can give u the answer pal. i do not think the Playstation Store app will improve the games or emulator.
It would be so nice if I could comment but as the flaming sony store app for the tablet doesn't work in Ireland I can't
psssst.....
FPSE
kicks the living ---- out of the PS shop

Alright, so I took the plunge and have this bad boy arriving to my doorstep tomorrow. I certainly plan to spend some time playing with this all night and downloading anything and everything. I just wanted to see what people found as really helpful apps that show off their tablet, and/or really helped boost the utility of the tablet.
I don't care whether the apps are games, tools, widgets, etc.
What are you addicted to on your tablet the most?
I know with my hobbled Evo 4G I'm excited to give Draw Something and TempleRun a go without it resetting my old Sense launcher every 10 minutes. But beyond that, I haven't really looked into any tablet specific apps.
And besides Play apps, are there any built in Sony specific add-ons that really surprised you more than you expected (IR, Qriocity, etc.)?
Favorites are;
Game- Reckless Racing 2
Widget- PWS( Wunderground Personal Weather Station)
App- Torque
I mainly use my tablet for reading, so my favorite apps are:
- Amazon Kindle, absolutely love it, its better than apple's iBook in every way
- Perfect Viewer, I think its one of the best manga viewers on Android

Sony Reader vs Kindle vs Nook vs Google Play Books
How do they shake out in your mind?
Didn't quite know how to best approach each one. Just read through The Hunger Games on the stock Sony Reader app. Was about to download the other apps for comparison.
PS I love reading on this baby though. Just feels good.
I haven't tried the Sony Reader app yet, I mainly use Nook and the Kindle app. I think the Kindle app is better designed and works better but it is easier to sideload epub books into the Nook app.
Nook: sideloaded epub files, free book giveaway every friday
Amazon: use it mostly to read ebooks checked out from libraries. Works great.

I haven't actually tried the Sony Reader, I have most of my library on Kindle already so I just went with Kindle.
Media:
-Sony's pre-loaded Remote Control app is great. I use it in the living room all the time and hardly touch my remotes anymore.
-Plasma Sound HD (Free) is a very fun music app that makes good use of the tablet screen size
-Adobe Photoshop Touch ($10) is a great portable substitute for the real Photoshop application. $10 seems a bit steep for an app, but you'll never need any other photo editing apps.
-Gmote 2.0 (Free) is a great app that allows you to browse for files on your computer and open them on your computer or on the tablet. It also has a touchpad mouse built in. Very handy if you have a PC hooked up in a living room.
-Amazon Kindle (Free) has been the smoothest e-reading experience for me, by miles. I'll second that Perfect Viewer (Free) is great for comics and manga.
Utility:
-If rooted, AdFree Android is a great adblocker that vastly improves browsing speed on the stock browser.
-ADWLauncher EX ($3.32) is the best alternative launcher I've found so far, though the recently released GO Launcher HD could give it a run for its money if they add more customization options.
-HD Widgets ($1.99) is my personal favorite for adding a digital clock, switches and weather status to your home screen.
-If you have a Wii, Wiimote Controller (Free) is a nice little app that allows you to sync your bluetooth Wii remote to your device. It's great for using with emulators.
Games:
-ChuChu Rocket
-Dead Space
-Draw Something
-Grand Theft Auto III
-Scramble with Friends (obscenely addictive)
-Shadowgun

Thanks for you
Apps:
>Documents to go -loading up a full word document with pictures is pretty snazzy
>File Manager HD - nice file browser for tablets
>MX video player, or double twist. Both good but I go MX.
>Winamp for music
>Volume+ FREE is nifty as - compresses all outputs so that they all stay in the upper range of loudness, and as such gives the effect of turn up the volume.
>My bank has an awesome net banking app for tablets also that is very intuitive, maybe yours might too
Games:
>(whoops just saw hogaburger posted this one allready) ShadowGun - a pretty impressive gears of war clone that looks and plays great on the sony tablet s. Also supports mapping controls to a ps3 controller/gamepad
GTA3> Plays and looks great, also natively supports the ps3 controller but I'm sure you could reconfigure the controls if needed.
>ZEN Pinball THD. It's simply amazing, if you like pinball I don't think you'll find a better app on the play store.
I also recommend getting Slide me marketplace installed (3rd party market). Then you can get some amazing emulators that used to be at premium price on the android market (and were/are the finest emulators around) for free . ie snesoid, nesoid, gbcoid, etc etc. The only one he seems to be charging for is N64oid. Pity cause I bought that back inthe day and now it's gone .
And the fun really starts if you decide to go ahead and root the tablet. Then all the games from gameloft become available to you if you edit your build.prop
Stock sony apps you say? Crash bandicoot is definately the best one . The rest suck in my opinion. Some would argue that the IR remotes awesome, I just find it tedious. Or that the sony music player sounds great, but I think the tablet itself sounds bad anyway so whats the difference really. Plus you gotta jump through hoops to get your SD card music to show up in it. (need root).
Oh. I do like the stock launcher and keyboard. If you don't mess with them too much, they work pretty good.

It's really cool that GTA 3 supports a controller input! I'll have to check that out now.
And that the Slide me marketplace sounds really nifty. I guess I'll have to get that micro to mini USB dongle thing to plug in a gamepad and really unlock the emulator abilities of the tablet!
I HATE how little Sony's PSN games offer. With everything they've collected from me, I refuse to buy MediEvil and such twice. My account info should all be able to transfer over and unlock that.
Thank you all for this great list. My Tablet S should be here tomorrow, I hate that I will be at various appointments all day before I could get my hands on it.
I'm a little disappointed it does not interact more with the PS3, but I have my fingers cross that with the ICS update this matter will be address.
I'm still on the fence on if I should root or not.
Got my Sony tablet S, and after playing with it for about 5 hours last night, this thing is great! This is my first tablet so really nothing to compare it to.
My wife which has a Kindle keyboard is loving this tablet, she loves the bigger screen, the fact that she can read in the dark without a desk lamp, and most of all the shape.
So now i'm in the market for a second tablet as soon as may 1st, I will wait and see if Google comes with something like the rumors says, or maybe one of the new samsung, or the prime.
Thanks again for the list.

+1 for that
Sony isn't really doing his best I mean which PSone games do you have other then the silly ones available right now
These games I would like to see in the PS store:
1. Command and Conquer
2. C&C Red Alert 1
3. A Bugs Life
4. Ape Escape
5. Tomb Raider
6. Rayman
These games are already much more "Liked" then the simple games on ps store and still, Nothing more then just a couple of dumb old games..
And they need a controller or it is not playable except rayman.
Example: Fpse doesn't support ps3 Controller
Fancy widgets for a very nice HTC style clock and weather
for me,
Best Apps:
iTap Mobile RDP - a fantastic remote desktop app which uses requires no 3rd Party App to be installed on the pc. I use it at home and at work, and has gesture recognition.
Price: About $12
Mindjet - formally 'Thinking Space Pro', a paid for app, this is now owned by MindJet (who I think make enterprise level versions of the software) as a free app. Makes a great tool for at work.
Price: free
Best Games:
Sim City - Surprisingly good graphics and gameplay, though takes a little getting used to the controls.
Price: Can't remember, but about $4 iirc
Train Crisis HD - just a fun puzzle type game
Price: Approx $1
(sorry, wouldn't let me post links)
