Do you have to be rooted to play these emulators? Or do you just need side-loading capability?
Thanks
If you have ATT u need to sideload. Otherwise no root required.

Trev-Thank you for the AWESOME comprehensive list. I've been looking for days on end for the Tiger Mame emu for my X-play.
I've run into a bit of a roadblock, however. After I've downloaded the "Where are Tigers" compressed folder to my desktop, I don't see the Tiger Mame link. Do i just send the entire compressed folder to my device? Please assist. Thanks!

Excellent work on the write up Trevor! We will definitely be bookmarking this one for when we do more testing on our controller.
That might be something you could consider adding into your write up, the controllers that are currently available to make playing emulators a bit better? Currently there are about 4 folks that I can think of off the top of my head, Phonejoy, Wiimote and Gamegripper and us at Ingenu.
Thanks again for the great post!
Couple of things i have just got my Xperia Play, will for example Nesoid work on it? im new to this. i would like to get super mario on my phone but im unsure how to install the emulators on the phone or find the games for them any ideas?

Thanks for the tip I will add your controllers to the list.
I wish you talented devs would consider a making a case or controller which could fit around the phone like how a PSP looks.
The Icontrolpad is close but too fat to keep in your pocket with the controls attached.
If someone made an slick interface where the buttons where on the top of the bottom of the phone that would be awesome.
Preferably a control pad of this sort would feature a D-Pad, a left and right joystick like on the PSP, 4 Buttons, 1 start and 1 select button and 4 shoulder pads. This would make the control pad work for almost all types of emulators.
Now that there is a PS3 controller driver, does that mean I could use a PS3 controller to play games using any of the above emulators? Or does the emulator need to support an external controller? If an emulator supports a Wiimote, does that mean it will probably support a PS3 controller?
Cheers.
Is there a mame emulator (especially for the CPS2) that enable 4 sixaxis controllers mapping?
Arcade emulation update:
Great news:
Jararcade and Tiger Mame have been updated.
They now play more games like the Simpsons arcade ! (can only be marge though ugh lol) and the 4 player Xmen game
I believe other Konami games will work now as well.
Tiger Mame also increased the screen resolution for larger phones so it fits now ! He has a beta adding net play and if you go to the settings in the app and donate you will be able to use save states.
In the beta I am testing for Tiger Mame Cps1 sound is fixed but cps2hd games may not work anymore so you will need CPS2HD for that.
Tigerking is keeping a twitter account to announce updates to his products his name is TigerKing1218
I wonder how long before an actual full MAME release? A version was released over a year ago for the N900, but the poor OS design of the N900 meant a lot of games were slowww. The same games that crawled on the N900 are smooth on the Incredible, D1and of course the D3.
Frustrating to have full rom set support, but slow device and OS on N900. The Droid 1 has the same hardware as the N900, so shows how poor the N900 was, since D1 was much faster.
Sorry for the tangent, but Nokia SUCKS.
What version of Tiger Arcade fits screens on higher res devices? I tried the newest version linked on his site, but still a small window on the Thrive. You had me excited until I tested it out. Current version on his site is 2.0.6, but lists as 2.2 when installing.
The dev needs to update the fine app with better scaling function for higher res devices. I have sent him emails before, but no reply. Seems this would be a simple function to add.
I would get the paid version then
So u mean this emulator can play games like radiant silvergun and killer instinct 2 ? Who is the Dev. We should contact him and convince him to port his work to Android where to will thrive
Sorry I must have gotten confused. U guess the beta has the full screen enabled. Try asking tigerking for one...knowing him he won't reply. Pm me ur email and ill send u my copy. Just remember he disabled save states in the beta
