Beta Testing Has Begun!

[Paul]

Galaxy Ace is one of the ARM6 devices, which unfortunately do not run the emulator very well.  You can try the suggestions in this thread for tweaking performance.  Probably your best improvement would be to root the phone and overclock.  You should be able to get lower-end games like Mario64 up to a playable speed, but games like Zelda OOT or higher-end may not be playable on your device.

They dont start up anymore and how much can i overclock my ace up to? Because im on a 3 year plan and dont really want to break my phone

[Paul]

If you've been playing around with the settings and things stop working, I recommend rebooting your phone (or alternately doing a "force stop" from the phones application settings menu), then running "Restore App Data" from the Mupen64Plus AE settings menu.

Every device is different when it comes to overclocking, so I recommend asking people who own the Ace, on other forums like http://forum.xda-developers.com/ or http://www.androidforums.com/

A small suggestion.(:
     I use the xperia play version (and I LOVE it!) but I realized there's no c-controls. I think that would be a good use for the direction keys or other analog touchpad thing (sorry for my oh-so-technical language).
Anyways, it's been pretty great so far, I haven't played too much, but I thought I'd suggest that.

(I was also a little confused with the input settings, if this is possible already I'd really love to know how)

Thanks!

[Paul]

The right side of the touchpad should have the c-buttons mapped to it already.  If not, then there is probably a bug in the code.  If you own Mario64, try it in that game (just to rule out any game-specific problems)

Hey Paul, you should try making a shooter plugin for the games like goldeneye, swiping like in most fps games, that can work since they made a working one for project64
P.s: i wonder if it's possible to make a port for mac ppc of the ansroid version since it's still powerpc

I don't really play a lot of fps games.  How does "swiping" work?

even if a bit laggy i got this video, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wsi1IHbbAoE skip to 1:47 and ignore spanish, i just got it randomly by searching the android port of portal, obviously if this is gonna happen there should be something letting you swipe while you hold a button until you lift finger up.

The next update will be in 1-2 weeks (I'm shooting for this coming weekend, but I always underestimate time, so stay tuned).  The reason for the long time on this one, is I am updating the core (and I need to make sure it is worth putting out before I do.  If not, I will have to stick with 1.99.4 core until 1.99.5 is ready).  Besides the core update, other changes will be multilingual support (and a few languages added), reintegrated gles2n64 video plug-in (hopefully), auto backup/restore of save files when running Restore App Data, fixed plug-in importing, and rumble-pack support.  If I do publish the core update, other changes will include improvements in a couple games (including Perfect Dark, Ogre 64, and Pokemon Stadium) and working core speed options (may make more games playable).  Things I will consider adding if I have enough time (if I'm under that 2-week deadline) will be cheats, dynamic audio pitch (to eliminate skipping in mild cases), swipe analog input (for first-person shooters, Zelda horseback archery, etc), and turbo/ toggle button behavior options.  If I can get ahold of the Sixaxis Controller IME developer, I will add support for it as well.

I see.  The logic behind it might be a bit tricky (namely with mapping out the desired behavior in cases where you have swipe + analog (and which was pressed first), and/or swipe + buttons).  I'll play around with the idea to see what I can come up with.

Hi paul  first i want to  tell  your work is amazing, and  sorry for my bad english,  well and have 2 things to  share,  first is when im playing and i get a call or go home to check a sms when i return to the  emulator this restart the game and lose  what i was doing, the second  is a question  can be posible that some day be a  multiplayer option via local wifi?? with 2,3 or 4 phones?? like in psp or dsi

I know you were looking into getting true full screen/taking over the status bar for 3.X/4.X devices, just wondering if by chance that would be making it into the next version?
