Computer games ported to android - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi. I want to ask a question. Can you port old computer games to android? I saw on YouTube that developer Beloko ported Return To Castle Wolfenstein to android an runs very well. But I want to port something like Far Cry 1 or old Prince of Persia.

The thing is although Android is based on Linux. Android and Linux are very different operating systems. And yes games of other Operating Systems are being ported but technically they are developed again, by coding from scratch but using the already made resources(Images, Audio and stuff). And to port an App, or Game in this case you need it source code for its respective OS after that you can port. But I doubt that the game developer would reveal the source code, so if you want that game really bad then you should ask the developer to port it.
If I'm wrong at something then please do correct me! :highfive:
Android Port of Jedi Outcast
Hi All,
I agree that it would be great if Jedi Outcast would be ported to Android phones/tablets. I apologize if I seem like I am out of bounds by saying this, but since Jedi Outcast's source release, it has been ported to Linux, and a bunch of other more obscure devices (Pandora, Raspberry Pi, Odroid), but nothing for Android phones/tablets. You would think that Android phones/tablets would have been a programmer's first choice to port to, as they are VERY common devices which have a large user base. Other ID-Tech 3 games have already been successfully ported (Return to Castle Wolfenstein, Quake III), so now I think that it's Jedi Outcast's turn.
Again, may I humbly request that someone with Android programming skills PLEASE port this amazing game to the Android phone/tablet platform? To make things even easier, I stumbled across the Odroid port a few days ago. Odroid actually uses the Android operating system, so it looks like the OpenGL ES graphics framework is already there. Someone on the Odroid forums responded to my inquiries regarding Jedi Outcast, stating that it would most likely only be a matter of someone adding the touch screen controls to the game, then it would be Android phone/tablet ready. Here's the link (sorry, I had to space it out because this site doesn't allow me to place links in posts yet): h t t p : / / f o r u m . o d r o i d . c o m / v i e w t o p i c . p h p ? f = 5 2 & t = 1 7 1 8
Thanks again for hearing me out, and I apologize if I am coming across as a bit demanding. I have no programming skills of my own, otherwise I would have ported this over a LONG time ago. Thanks for your time!

[Q] PS2 Emulator Yet? It's been over 10 Years!

Hi,
I was just wondering, are there any PS2 emulators out there on Android yet? I've been looking around some forums which say that it'd be extremely slow if there was one and that's why there isn't one but they're quite old and mobile specs have come a long way since then.
I'd be surprised if there isn't one by now: The Nintendo DS and PSP were both released in 2004 and we have emulators which are both stable and fast and the PS2 was released in 2000. In addition, we have PCXS2 (a PS2 Emulator for Windows, Mac and Linux) which is open source so it shouldn't be too hard to port, right?
Anyways, is there any PS2 emulator available yet on Android? I just wanted to create a thread to check if there was one in development or if there was anything I couldn't find. Thanks!
Haven't seen a ps2 but I've come across a dreamcast one. Reicast.

Anyone saying that it isn't possible due to hardware constraints or the fact it would be slow are ignorant or repeating what they hear from ignorant people. Look around and think for yourself. Most games are already emulate'able at full speed never mind the upcoming phones.
For comparisons sake, on my old iphone 5 (non S) I can run the psp emulator (psp is essentially the same machine as the ps2. Some would argue more powerful) not only at full speed, but at full speed with triple the resolution, upscaled textures, anti aliasing, and more.
Yes it's possible, it has been for awhile. Unfortunately their is nothing available yet. Once a dev with the capability is freed up and has the motive to do so, a port of something like pcsx2 is more likely than a brand new emu all together.
Here's to hoping eh?

I can safely say that's a fake....
There's no such thing as PS2 emulator for Android just yet... I hope in the near future this will be possible, just like PPSSPP....
The reason why PS2 emulator isn't available for now it's because how complicated PS2 hardware was...

Will jetson tk1 run android os?

Hi i've seen the jetson tk1 a k1 processor development board,now i know it runs linux fine but i want it for android gaming.So i am wondering if anyone own one and/or can tell me should i buy it for the sole purpose of android os gaming,i am concerned of shelling out 200 pounds for a device i may never be able to run android os on.I can't help but think there's a catch like a lack of a chip or something potentialy hindering the chances of loading an android rom on it.I'm debating getting it next fortnights time if anyone thinks it can be and definately will be done i'm sold.:laugh:

Yes, modifying the linux kernel for ubuntu to run android was quite easy, took less than an hour...
Rootfs was even easier, took 15 minutes....
booted first try...
But getting Cuda in android will have to wait for official Nvidia support.

Hi, im also interested in Android for Jetson TK1 (I already ordered one, I like Ubuntu very much but it doesnt have many games compatible with ARM). If I understood well, you have booted Android on it? You can post it maybe on Nvidia developer forums dedicated for jtk1 or make thread here on xda? Thanks

Anyway someone could post some instructions on here to do it. Google search not providing too much help.

Xiaomi MiBox3 (US Edition)

Hey guys!
So I am not new to the android community at all but i am new to the android tv community. I bought a Xiaomi Mibox 3 from my local walmart and it must be a different one than all the others people are posting about. (Model # MDZ-16-AB) This one supports 4k and HDR and also has Google Cast built in. It runs Android 6.0.1 as of right now.
So i wanted to know how to root it so i can add the playstation 3/4 controller to it, which needs root.
I want some more info as far as rooting and roming.
Will there be any thread to this device specifically (kinda like my nexus 6p)?
Thanks for any info
Did you try root with kingroot?

I don't think the prospects for rooting it are all that great right now. Apparently locked bootloader. The Mi controller is $30 and works well. So do, reportedly, xbox, controllers.
That said there is "some" discussion on rooting here:
