GO GIANTS!

[jonstaskis]

I freaking love your videos. lol SUBSCRIBED.

[moussadastgheib1]

where do you recomend download games from

and when it downloads where do i put the file?

[sleeplessninjas]

@moussadastgheib1 if you go to the link in my video details , my blog article, i have direct links to where i recommend to get the files. Also I recommend downloading them on your computer first. You might have to extract them because they might be compressed. There are comments in the blog article relating to what you need. Good Luck, this one just requires patience to setup

[moussadastgheib1]

Whats that little app widget called??

[sleeplessninjas]

@moussadastgheib1 Circle Launcher... Check out my other videos on how to configure it, easiest way to find is through my website... they have a free app version and paid, i go over both versions

[bubwithattitude1]

Do you always stutter? And what's with taking 5 minutes to get to a fucking game?

[krtknowles]

i didnt hear the bleep, but i did hear u burp lol

[RCASALE2]

syphonfilter ftw!!!!!

[CHEVYbarracuda1]

I hope they release ps2 emulator cuz galaxy s II runs on stock 1.4 ghz core frequency and it is dual core.u cud probably oc it on 1.6 and get awesome 3.2 ghz.only issue is small screen but imagine San Andreas on it!!!!

[angeldoom089]

Dose metal gear work?

[nitestick89]

How is it you've wasted nearly 5 minutes of my life before actually firing up a game?

[BooyaGadget]

Good Job Ninja

[andrewtaylor52]

I downloaded this and I put in the Bios file Scph1001.bin which is recomended I got some ps1 games but i cant find them on the fpse?

[sleeplessninjas]

@andrewtaylor52 What is the extension of the PS1 games? .zip .emu ?

[Epyx911]

Just ensuring those of you who use Frameskip understand what it is actually doing...when you set frameskip you are literally "skipping" frames of animation. So while the reviewer says "and now it works perfectly"...well its running smoother but its far from perfect as frames of animation are being missed to enable it to run smoother. This will make some animations appear choppy even if the sound appears better. Just an fyi.

[p3rrypm]

Dude all you have to do is hold A+B buttons and wiimote will find it...  no removing the battery door.

[sleeplessninjas]

@p3rrypm Thanks :) , you can tell I don't play Wii all too much

[Jakethewhaler]

is it possible to play Resident Evil and Metal gear Solid on honeycomb devices waiting for ASUS Eee Pad Transformer 3g release

[sleeplessninjas]

@Jakethewhaler They both ran for me on the Xoom, I can't see why they wouldn't on your Eee Pad. But I haven't tried it myself. Hopefully the Eee 3g comes soon so you can enjoy this awesome OS

[extremepickle]

I want mgaman x 5 when I download it it says rom type not supported where do I download it for it to work make a video please

[androidfunmore]

I need help Diablo shows up super blurry for me. It was super slow also, but I checked Relatives moves and that seemed to help with the slowness, but I cant seem to fix the blurriness.

P.S. - I know it isn't the rom because it works fine and not blurry on my Samsung Vibrant.

[sleeplessninjas]

@androidfunmore Do you use frameskip at all in the video settings? One thing with emulators is they are going to act differently on each device. Its really hard to emulate a hardware in software, especially when the device running on the software varies from each system.

[androidfunmore]

@sleeplessninjas Nope no frameskip at all, and yea that would I suppose be the reason devs turn to iOS a lot...

[sleeplessninjas]

@androidfunmore I would use frameskip. I am using it on mine.

And actually I know allot of devs that prefer the Android, including myself. Is much easier to program for. Making an emulator is really really hard. Especially making one that works for all games. All these gaming consoles were made a specific way with specific hardware, but now your replacing all of these specific tangible things with just code. Think of it like mapping Human Intelligence to a computer....

[sleeplessninjas]

@androidfunmore There is just too many little details which makes it difficult for code to compensate. Its simular in emulation. When game developers are trying to pusht he bounds in some games they kinda hack it for the system so it works. However on an emulator you have to realize how they hacked it so it can function. Its really complex. Really amazing that a developer has this emulator playing even a fraction of the games that it does right now.

[androidfunmore]

@sleeplessninjas What frameskip should I use.

And wow, I never knew making a game emulator for another device was so hard...I always thought it was a simple port, but now that I know I have a bit more respect for the emulator devs :)

[sleeplessninjas]

@androidfunmore I use up to 20FPS , i don't notice any major frame rate issues when I do this but my games definitely run smoother.

Yeah its a common misconception. For instance on the PS2 the reason why they can run PS1 is because they put the PS1 hardware in it. Even with PS3 backwards for PS2 they took it out because they were paying so much extra in parts and difficult to support and thats their own consoles. Funny stuff but I hope the frameskip helps you out!

[androidfunmore]

@sleeplessninjas ty...I just tryed it and it improves the speed of steps a right amount but does nothing for the blurriness.

[agustinmederocalvo]

05:47 LOL

[mikiej459]

thanks for the video sleeplessninja. A couple other games I have tried:

Metal Gear Solid - Works extremely well. Best performance out of any game I have tried so far.

Chrono Cross - Slowdown on menu (30 FPS) and some battle scenes, but mostly playable.

SF Alpha 3 - 55-60 FPS, music is a little off but plays really well.

[junyi1994]

bro i have set up bios file but when i trying to launch an iso it jump bck to main screen immediately. y is this happening?

[sleeplessninjas]

@junyi1994 The only times that happens to me is if the ISO is either broken or the Emulator cannot run that particular Game. What game are you trying? What type of extension is the ISO. is it a .ISO / .Bin ?

[junyi1994]

@sleeplessninjas

i dl the file from the website u provide in ur website. it is a .7z file n i rename it to iso.

the 2 games is mortal kombat 4 and tony hawk pro skaters 4.

[sleeplessninjas]

@junyi1994 Ahh thats what it is. You actually can't change the file extensions here. Because .7z is not a ISO its actually a zip file. Google a .7z extractor on your computer and unzip it. The .bin / .ISO should be there once extracted.

[junyi1994]

@sleeplessninjas

oo ok many thx bro =)

[junyi1994]

@sleeplessninjas

bro nw i used .7z to extract it, it extracted as a folder and inside have 3 files tat is .ccd .sub n .img.ecm

what should i do @@

[sleeplessninjas]

@junyi1994 The ECM file is the actual ISO, but this version of the Emulator does not support ECM so you need to convert it. What you need to do is get a ECM Extractor, if you google it, you should find one. Yeah its a weird process to get these roms working, as I said in the video, I wish it was simpler,unfortunately it isn't

[junyi1994]

@sleeplessninjas

oh man i dont have so much time to do this kind of thing since i m having exam. sigh. maybe i will wait for newer version or what.

thx bro for helping me

[sleeplessninjas]

@junyi1994 Yeah. Its time consuming, sorry I tried to make it clear in the video. I don't think the future will support .ecm , only a few emulators do, but its easy enough to unzip it with a ecm converter

[MFizzle777]

You show some good stuff man, loving it.

[gurren2010]

keep up the great work ur the best

[extremepickle]

psxroms

[extremepickle]

downloaded the roms and said rom type not suported can any one help me?

[stobbe34]

@sleeplessninjas thanks so much man!!! Turns out it was automatically synced with the gmail account.. Well thanks I'm still new to this xoom lol

[stobbe34]

Oh yea sorry but one more question.. When I try signing into my YouTube account on my xoom it doesn't work. I think it's because I've always used hotmail and now xooms gmail orientated. On my iphone i just type in my username and password and I'm in but on xoom the sign in option is not available and it only says sign up.

Not sure why this is happening or what the solution is but thanks for the help!!! :)

[sleeplessninjas]

@stobbe34 Is your youtube linked to your gmail or separate. for me it was linked so I was auto logged in. If that doesn't work, try this sign in link I'll send you. I can't put it here. If you want you can always ask questions on my Website and you can use your own links and I can respond with them as well. But only if you wish.

[sleeplessninjas]

@stobbe34 I use youtube through the browser and I haven't had any trouble. Is it a youtube account or is it attached to your gmail? Mine is attached to my gmail so it just worked for me. I would try this if you haven't. If that didn't work

[stobbe34]

Hey um not really related to this video but I just got my xoom today and tried finding n64oid but couldn't find it on the market place.. Just wondering if anyone else has had this problem or if it been pulled or something, cause it would suck if it was

[sleeplessninjas]

@stobbe34 Unfortunately the app was getting bad rep from users. There are many people who do not realize how difficult it is to make a perfect emulator and when the entire N64 library wasn't working for them they would hound the developer with bad remarks. He decided to take it down and will rerelease it in a few months after he has made it more WAAAHHMMMBULANCE proof :)

[extremepickle]

Thanks man keep doin what you do

[extremepickle]

Alright an will just a regullar wiimote work fine or would it be more harder

[sleeplessninjas]

@extremepickle It will work with a numbchuck, however there are games that you might find you don't have enough buttons.

[extremepickle]

Thanks man and were do you get your Roms?

[sleeplessninjas]

@extremepickle EmuParadise, I have a precise link also linked in my blog article listed in the description.

[extremepickle]

Need BIOS?

[sleeplessninjas]

@extremepickle yeah its a file that you need to download that links in with the Application. It is not included because its a Playstation BIOS and it belongs to Sony and if the developer included it, it would be removed from market or he could even possibly be sued by sony. Its not to bad to add, you can download it straight to your xoom from the link in my blog article.

[sleeplessninjas]

@blackbeltrk If you go to the emu paradise website I posted most files are not fragmented and I have been having good luck with the roms

[danielbrynych]

@blackbeltrk I think he is just referring to RAR (.RAR/.001 .002...) .ZIP or similar compression they are easy to take care of. He's making it seem WAY harder then it needs to be..

[sleeplessninjas]

@danielbrynych I didn't intend for this to come across WAY harder, just that it took more time than other emulators due to the size of the files. Some files are fragmented, some are .ecu and need to be converted, some are corrupted. It takes time and I wanted for those who are not technologically patient to realize this. I apologize for any confusion

[danielbrynych]

@sleeplessninjas And that's fair, just don't wanna scare off the newcomers :)

[sleeplessninjas]

@danielbrynych Agreed. :) This application is really amazing and I really appreciate the comments it helps clarify this for everyone.

[stansberry2295]

ps1 games only? or does it also support PlayStation 2 games?

[krazycid10]

Also, THPS is available for N64 and it works a lot better on n64oid.

[krazycid10]

THPS is the best game of all time!
