Snesoid App: Super Nintendo on the Android Honeycomb Xoom

Super Nintendo on the Android Honeycomb, yes this is true and yes it works really well. I've been using it for well over a year on my original Droid, a super powerful android CPU/GPU isn't required. With a large plethora of classic nostalgic games and the ability to play using a controller and hook to the TV, you now have a portable Super Nintendo, that is almost as good as the real console itself. Check out the video.

Does anyone know if it is possible to use a PS3 controller with a Honeycomb Tablet in order to play these games? It would be amazing if you could go that! xD

[sleeplessninjas]

@SilverJigGames yes u can thru USB, I have a video just on that :-)

Great review and I have subscribed, but what is the process from beginning to end installing roms and getting them to run on the xoom or an Android phone? If you already have a vid posted please direct me...thanks.

[sleeplessninjas]

@KeyLynn No video on this yet. However if you go to the coolroms website you will download a zip file. You don't even need to unzip this file. you can just place it in a directory on your device and then open up your emulator app and select that zip in the directory you put it in. No installation necessary! Let me know if you come across any issues!

Thank you so much!

I had hardly expected my request to be realized, let alone this fast. You have such great communication with your viewers. :D

@SMDahlLPs You are welcome! I will do my best to respond to my viewers the best I can!

@eddiemon24 I had the same problem on my phone. You see, the files have to be zips. So, download the roms, extract them, and then re-archive them as .zips. That should fix it.

@sleeplessninjas Awesome, and thanks! :D

I hope somebody gets the bluetooth working soon. It can't be too hard to create an app that manages the inputs from the controller over bluetooth. =]

can you use an android device as the controller?

Remember that you can flipt the image vertically, so that you don't accidentially hit the on-screen buttons. ;-)

@kh0annguyen I'm having the same problem. I try to load a rom (that works on my PC) from Snesoid on my Xoom, but it just flashes back to the rom-picking screen (even though my Xoom says 'Snesoid is running'). Any help would be greatly appreciated!
