View 1 RepliesAre there any multiplayer interactive games where someone with an Android phone can play with someone who has an iPhone? I'm looking for something like Words With Friends where two people who have iPhones can play scrabble together.

I tried searching appbrain, but I had a hard time finding any good ones. My GF has a scrabble-like game on her iPhone that sets her up with random players and its pretty fun. Anything of the sort ? (not necessarily scrabble, any online game would be great).

I just finished what I hope is the ultimate guide to emulation on Android. I've basically fine-combed the Market and done my best to map out what the Android platform currently has to offer when it comes to retro video game console and home computer emulation. Various Nintendo consoles are covered, of course, as well as Sega, C64, Amiga, ZX Spectrum, TurboGrafx-16 et cetera.
The only emulators I've ignored are those with an average rating below 3. Now to my question: did I miss any good emulators? There might be emulator projects for Android on the web that are not available on the Market? Such as ScummVM, for example, although technically it might not qualify as an emulator. Is there a PlayStation emulator for Android?
Here's the link to the guide if you want to check it out:

So it's that wonderul time again for me to renew my tmobile service and get a new phone, and i've narrowed it down to the mytouch slide and the samsung vibrant. Now I just want to get some opinions on which you all think would be better for emulation. The issues I see are:
The vibrant doesn't have a physical keyboard which is much more preferrable than touch controls. On the other hand, it has a really large screen which might make touch controls more usable (i've only played emulators on an iphone 3g)
The mytouch DOES have a keyboard, but has a significantly slower processor (on paper), and therefore might not run emulators as well.
What do you guys think? Anyone with emulator experience on either phone? Is the vibrant touch screen good for controls? If not, is the mytouch powerful enough run emulators as well as the vibrant?
Just as a side note, in all other areas I like the vibrant better, so if the mytouch is overall better for emulation, but only by a small margin, i'll go with the vibrant.
There has been discussion on other boards, but emulators and game ports may take a while and depend on if Android is opened for some native code access. The author of my favorite WM emulator, Smartgear (great multi system emu for NES, GBC and Turbografx and Sega) has told me that the "Java" layer is required, so not only do you have to emulate the game systems, you have to also interpret the "Java" layer and this results in slow emulation even on the G1. He wants to release a port of his emu to Android, but says it will not happen until Android has native code access. Coreplayer is another program that is having issues due to Java on Android. They want to port the their media app but state that there is currently too much cpu overhead because any codec not native to the OS ALSO has to go through the "Java" layer. If all things stay constant, this does not mean there will not be emulators, but it does likely mean that even a Gamboy emu will be slow on the G1 or any other Android device. I put quotes around Java, because the container in the OS is more a hybrid of Java, but the cpu overhead is still the same. We will probably not see Doom, Quake, MAME or any full speed emulator with sound until Google opens the OS up to some native code access. Google demoed Quake, but it apparently did not go through the Java layer restriction. I would like to know if they used the SDK or used code native to the cpu. I tend to believe others that the OS will be opened up more by Google, but how long will this take?

I don't know if I'm not searching for the right thing or not. Honestly, I'm not quite sure what to search for sometimes.

I've tried a few other online multiplayer games, but they don't have the invite, notification and "play when you want" style that Word Feud has. I was looking for Battleship, Connect Four, Monopoly, Tic Tac Toe style of games but I can't find any.

Can anyone suggest any other flying, shooting, racing games that people actually play. I am not interested in quest games or Wow types games. I know some games have the capability but no one uses it.

There's not loads of games out yet for ScummVM, but one in particular I'm really looking forward to is Full Throttle. A really cool game at the time and to be able to play on my Desire will be totally awesome. Any one else looking forward to ScummVM? or if you know of any other Android Emulation projects?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI was just curious which Gameloft titles people own or have tried, and what their take on them is. I'd also like to know what devices you are running them on (although I guess your pot would indicate that under your name...) and what problems, if any, that you have encountered (bugs, force closes, etc.). I have the bought Tom Clancy's H.A.W.X. and Dungeon Hunter, and here are my thoughts on them. Plane graphics are awesome, and the game play is pretty cool. Basically just a scaled down version of the PC/Console game. 13 missions give you a fair amount of gameplay and you can fly over 20 different planes and upgrade their weapon loads which is pretty cool. Gameloft LIVE and the achievement system make the game fun to play time and time again. I also like using the Accelerometer with this game too, and it works like a charm. I have not run into any bugs or anything of the sort with this game.Graphically the best RPG on the market (at least until Pocket Legends comes out, but even with that the two different styles will make them unique). Quite a few quests to do, hundreds of armor upgrades and ways to customize your characters. Gameplay is pretty smooth as well. The storyline and conversations get kind of cheesy at times, but overall a decent game. I encountered one part of the game causing a force close every time. At the end you defeat the last boss and there is a portal you are supposed to take after. This portal alone causes force closures every single time. Anyone have any of the other titles? How is the online multiplayer for those that have it (such as Modern Combat and NOVA)?
