Gaming on Xperia Play - PSX, ANDROID & EMULATORS - XperiaPlay review Pt.1

[dominicdominict127]

can you put an atari emulator on an android?

[Bred0nSch00lV2]

@dominicdominict127 Yup, it's called Ataroid. It's an emulator of the Atari 2600.

[zabusy]

@Pnomnom same lol

[Pnomnom]

Lol I'm watching this on my xperia play

[DjD373]

It has mortal kombat? Im so getting this phone

[ZedBazinga]

getting it to play pokemon blue!

[ComputerLunarVidGamR]

Also, im not getting the Vita anytime soo, since this is better in my opinion compared to the PSP Go and the Vita.

[ComputerLunarVidGamR]

No, its cheaper on AT&T and its the exact same thing, except its now under 4G.

[TGCTopic]

Hhhhmmmm... The play is the same price as the Vita sooo... Vita or Play???

[waldekzone11]

so what can you put your own roms on the memory card and play it from there or do you need to buy?

[Bred0nSch00lV2]

@waldekzone11 You would need to grab an emulator like Gameboid, go to a ROM site and download some ROMs (or dump them yourself). Place them on the MicroSD, run the emulator app, find and select a ROM, configure the emulator controls and start playing.

[ProcyonAlpha]

7.44 I CAME

[locutz]

emulators would be the shit for the phone especially gba



[felicialeefai]

[kgeekaikai]

[dyverthedeath]

[BatmanRichards]

Best review

[nognir616]

I had a small hands-on with the XPlay and I got a bit disappointed at the soft shoulder buttons. I hope they don't prove to be a problem in the long run?

[rochester212]

really good review !

[ad3407]

Atari 2600 Emulator, OMG

[tikimoni]

got this xperia play 4 birthday, which is today! Celebs?

[MuscleX101]

Are the analog pads really tht bad?

[mclgetsum]

@MuscleX101 no they are pretty good actually

[TheSitDownCommedian]

wearing headphones when you said oggabogga you scared me

[KYUBIMATIAS]

Blunty, It's my 1st time seeing one of your reviews and let me tell you, you did an outstanding job. I'm already convinced on the Xperia. If this thing can even call, I'll buy it for sure. So what is the highest level of console Emulation it can do?

[Toto77777]

after watching this review I know that this is what I want to buy. thank a lot :)

[Toto77777]

@Toto77777 Thanks*

[Horusgoblin]

I got an Xperia Play and IT ROCKS!

[ozera16]

ive got this phone its only been 3 months and i kinda dont like it ... its for a kid / mid teen .../ its thick and brings your pants down and most of all the games are shit and lacking..... im gona get the xperia ray it looks kool

[frankarlo18]

what psx are you using or ware did you get it can i have the name of it so i can download that one ?

[MASC19750]

Greetings from Colombian, great review, helped a lot!, keep it cumming!

[ComputerHRD]

5:50 Lol

[ComputerLunarVidGamR]

too late, i already got the ATT one, and it kicks so much ASS!

[dirosales]

Ukti

[ComputerLunarVidGamR]

I want to know quickly, which version would be better, the Verizon one or tthe AT&T one? So far, I'm getting the AT&T version of the xperia play, so is that a good decision for christmas?

[paulocinza]

Assim o xplay fica show

[xXwasteoffleshXx]

aaaaawwwww yeeaaaahhhhhhh!!!!! ninja turtles!!!!!

[walidb123]

thank you for going over the emulation. this is why you'd really want one.

[LearningToSurvive]

I just got my play (for FREE) yesterday and absolutely love the emulation and overall excellent gaming capabilities and as a phone it also trumps my old Captivate. 5 stars for this great android phone/gaming device!

[SearchinSnipin]

whats the battery life on this when just gaming

[imprtialghost]

I did'nt understand well does it need an emulator to open android games? please somebody answer me thanks

[AthiestDing]

thanks for your in depth review it has helped me heaps in choosing my next ph. I was at the store today playing with this and the iphone and although I love how polished the interface of the iphone is, i hardly use my phone and was planning to use it mostly as a portable gaming device. So i think I'll start downloading some emulators and buy a xperia play because of its dedication to gaming with superior controls. I'm so excited that my ph will now have a camera, color screen and beep when txted

[calipdis2]

Can I have every ps game in the phone? I really want this to have castlevania SOTN, thrill kill, vigilante 8, vampire savior 1-3 games in my phone but I dont know if its to difficult to install them or if I require something else to make them work... please tell me

[iphonehackeranddevol]

I love this phone its perfect

[ahern030]

i got mine for free!!!!! oh yeahh. i got all the good stuff on it :) it is so cool, made all my friends jelly :p

i highly recomend this

[JRAtk027]

you're the coolest guy that's ever lived.

...And I shall be purchasing one for myself, so I too may experience the nostalgia and joy.

[MagicPanda92]

Haha....naughty messiah!

[iNoizYBoYzZx]

Better re-write my letter to Santa...

[mclgetsum]

getting one for $50 on at&t, and it comes with a lot of accessories

[pcman500]

@Giremsix Yes it will run i t perfectly but i never played metal gear solid. Should i try?

[TheClockblocker]

Getting one for 100$ :)

[pcman500]

@TheClockblocker damn, you just owned me. i bought it for 200 euros. thats like 220 dollars.

[watson07]

@TheClockblocker where are you getting it for that from ?

[TheClockblocker]

@watson07

Craigslist is your best friend

[trevorisepic]

Probably gonna get this next week for my birthday, I can't wait:D I mainly want to try out gameboy emulators to play all the old Pokemon games lol

[TheClockblocker]

@trevorisepic

I'm getting one for that too xD

Btw in Fire Red you can catch Pikachu in Viridian Forest :)

[IMusicRecordsify]

@trevorisepic same here once i saw the pokemon games i was bought and i say that it plays mine craft

[mymetalcat]

@trevorisepic you should also try hacked pokemon games like pokemon quartz.

[CoolVids19]

@trevorisepic lol pokemon on sony

[1SavageDragon1]

gawd i love this review :), im going to get this baby!!

[cokacutter]

age of zombies is like the best game ever.

[dvade]

that's my christmas present <3

[alvaritoalvarete]

UGABUGA!

[Karanrules97]

If u can get kingdom hearts on it, i will go uot and buy it staight away!

[BlackShadowXIII]

Can we use PSP games we downloaded for PSP in Xperia play? If not, that's just disappointing...

[VivienForum]

ha this xperia play really suits me, good gaming experience and a simple phone

[losbergs2]

and now im on my phone - FTW SEXperia play rules

[TheRealBlackPuma]

I'm actually playing Ocarina of Time - Master Quest on it right now. With the most recent N64 emulator it actually runs great. It's just a shame the emulator doesn't support the analog sensors.

[DockterDoom]

I'm watching this on my xperia play.

[losbergs2]

hahah i have ordered this phone, it should be delivered tommorrow ;) good luck to everyone else who wants this phone

[RaNDYORTON449]

i got this phone last wednesday it's awesome seriously

[oph0109ify]

Dear santa......

[xNightsWatchx]

getting this Tuesday, can't wait!

[xXxLivE2RocKxXx]

@Exodia1986Necross Its actually a really good phone. I would know, I have one.. Sure its no Droid Bionic or Evo in terms of power, but it still runs great on 3G (and im sure on 4G for AT&T). Also, the controls may not be large, or PSV controls. But they are outsanding for a phone!

Maybe im just too much of a fanboy of the phone to tell if something is bad, but it works great for me!

[Exodia1986Necross]

Don't be fooled by this report folks. I checked this phone for real i couldn't believe how the buttons small are even a child can not control a damn thing. And secondly this crap phone isn't a quality gadget. Well buy a psp vita butter than this trash ...... YOU JUDGE 0.0

[salx101]

@Crazygame200 I can tell you but all you need is a android. The just tell me if your interested.

[Turtlezr00l]

well, i know what IM getting for chistmas

[TheIchigoGetsuga]

@Turtlezr00l I has one since Juin 2011 xD so its pre cool :3

[CloudDecim]

@Turtlezr00l an used ps1 without controller and screwed up power button and its bricked without cd drive

merry christmas

[inunaruharu]

@Turtlezr00l You will love this phone

[crazygame200]

Hmm you can download and play Zelda a link to the past intresting, I NEED IT NOW!!!!!!!!!



[8164thomas]

FUCK YEAH THIS PHONE IS FUCKING GREAT

[IAmGoombaSniper]

I own pretty much every game I get ROMs for, I would just like to play them on a more current platform rather than setting up my 64 and SNES and NES and... You get the point.

[everythingsk8boardin]

LIFE OF BRIAN FTW!

[WhyCryxD]

Just great, now i have to buy this.

[MrFlabab]

i just got my iphone this year and now i have to wait 2 years to upgrade...FUCK

[Mastergurt]

@MrFlabab

Xperia Play? I-phone?It was difficult

Im a gamer? YES. I m a retro-gamer? YES. I choose Xperia Play..

[Oblivionduff]

Fantastic video

[KINGBERT8]

can you tell me how to get emulators because i am 13 and i would love to know thanks

[hitsugaya19971]

Can u play psp games on this ?

[BRETTTOGO]

THIS GUYS GREAT!

[Lawliet3300]

can any 1 tell me if the nintendo ds one piece game will work on this phone?

[xNightsWatchx]

@Lawliet3300 not sure about that game specifically, but from what I have heard, the DS emulator is the least good one.

[TheRogueMonk]

what about the battery for gaming?

[TheRogueMonk]

is this faster then a psp ? for emlators? min psp is very slow foremu :(

[TheRogueMonk]

the game psx looks like bad framskipping.. and fps

[TheRogueMonk]

how is the graphic next to apple games... apple games have such a high HD graphics in 3d games... but i dont see this on this on this review

[embrytic]

after this review I bought my Xperia Play - thanks Blunty! :)

[BultmusGaming]

got one

[CriCk712]

Got the Xperia Play last friday... and i must say. its the best phone ive owned yet! the battery life is great! don't listen to what others say. Been playing FF7/BoF3 and a bunch of Snes games on this baby haha. the only downside is.. the brightness during the day =/ and the controller are built tough!

[hazworther]

Old PS1 games? Crash Team racing and Spyro would be awesomely nostalgic

[MooreN3RDS]

getting one in 2 days :D

[oLACHESISo]

So, are they buttons hard to break, and stable like a regular controller?

[TheJonyboy510]

Great review

[goldfingerhardcore]

Thats a great review

[epherith32]

[alexburrows111]

Where do you get those emulators

[TheScottygriff]

HOLY SHIT HES PLAYING POKEMON!

[stocker05]

Emulators FTW!!

[twista93256]

[MrPilchardo]

Why the Monty Python reference at the beginning?

[tolapanino93]

[doglashimura]

has the telefone vibration??

[TheBsm97]

@doglashimura I think it does xD

[donk09500]

Then the psvita is released

[Rtboh]

@danifel17 you cant even compare the 2. you can never have the full power of a console on a handheld.

[danifel17]

Ps3 is better

[TrombonicOxide]

@danifel17 PS3 Is a Console. you Idiot, and the Xperia Play Is a handled gaming device phone!

[sweetnssssssssssss]

can you put cheats on the emulator 

[trip4201]

i dont like the touch analogs i would have rather the og psp anolog.....

[youcoco999]

Mario 64 is perfect though

[youcoco999]

Zelda Boot ddes not run smooth but and the brink of playable

[theoriginalelzincho]

is there a ps1 emu for isos

[MartianManFromMars]

ogaboga!!

[TheTekksetter]

Emulation is the only reason i want that phone

[mrwednesday]

I got to agree with BurbsDesperado, this was informative and answered pretty much all my questions. I rarely see a review that takes emulation into factor. It was one of the main reasons I loved my ngage back in the day. Anyways, thanks for the review. I will watch the second part mainly because I liked your persona. :)

[BurbsDesperado]

wow that was an extremely informative review u answered pretty much all of my questions, and humorously witty to boot! great great great review thanks blunty ive been overdue for a new phone so i think i kno wut im asking santa for this year ^_^

[FoxHoundsfu]

Nice review, thanks.

[beckham9018]

[hockeyp7]

[delukze]

@hockeyp7 Xperia Play!!! u can get it free at amazon or wirefly.com with a new 2yr contract or $50 with contract renewal.

[Muldor18]

@delukze- $50??

I'm getting it for 100!?

Are you saying I can get it for 50 from verizon?

[delukze]

@Muldor18 NO!! Amazon wireless or wirefly.com plus a $50 Android debit card

[delukze]

@Muldor18 I mean't $25 android debit card not $50...

[dragonslayer1st]

@hockeyp7 well the iphone 5 comes out in like 3 months so dont get thr 4 now... but the xperia play is better comming from a iphone 3gs user

[BigMac1814]

@hockeyp7 get the xperia

[Febreeze75]

[superhawk1070]

9:17 I FUKING HATE THAT GAME!!

[PAO13071]

~ OMG P0KIMANZ!!! ~

[TheThereGreatest]

i no some people are a bit iffy in getting this phone due to the price? BUT i recently bought the phone at a futureshop for less then 60 bucks buuut for a 3 year term....

[mitchlieschke]

totodile!

[rhoejaqueswift]

I FUKING LOVE MY SONY XPERIA!!!!!

[Jesszzman]

@rhoejaqueswift hey man, i'm in the market for an xperia play or a droid 3, what do you recommend?

[Qjemuse]

or those who are using this phone...

Hows the battery life? how long does it last for gaming?

can I use the buttons for other apps for example scrolling pdf?

much thanks.

[Ozy783]

HE'S NOT THE MESSIAH HE'S A VERY NAUGHT BOY. Takes me back =')

[TheSnackPack1234]

can u play online on the Xperia play ???

[smartguy44]

the minute i saw the emulators games i was like "hello my first phone"

[lilfrog5]

@smartguy44 You don't have a phone? -.-

[smartguy44]

@lilfrog5 nah i never really needed one but now in high school i think i will be needing one

[victoneter]

Emulators are pretty sad imo, poor Nintendo they're getting pirated like crazy.

(excusable if you own the game or the wii virtual console)

[aiktai]

Yust use a wii controller if you want psysical controls.

[crait]

I bought it and love it. Your review is amazingly detailed and well written! Thanks!

[sirim1337]

im going to buy a xperia play on monday. and the first thing im going to do is get a gba emulator so i wondering how to i get the game roms to the xperia play?

[cheechwizzard101]

it even ogger boggers lol.

[thatrubberducky26]

cool if apps can be on while you are on other apps is it possible for someone to make an app that makes your buttons be recognized as letter keys so you can play flash games on the internet like stuff on newgrounds

[smashgigant]

bought it this week and its AWESOME! like you said in the video you dont have to hack you phone in order to play these awesome games!

[GIANTKAIJU]

Excellent review man, loved it. Were you running several different emulators or just one specific emulator for the classic games demonstrated? Which do you recommend that run the best on Xperia from your playtests?

[antiravage]

Very good review.
