Hi, I recently installed Colleen on my JXD78000b tablet. The Emulator runs quite nice, but I can't figure out how to properly assign hardware controls. The JXD has a lot of physical buttons and a gamepad and analog sticks. So far I was only able to assign the joystick to the gamepad and the fire button to one of the buttons (but not to the one I'd prefer). It would be fantastic if there was a way to assign also the function keys (like start/option/seelct) and some common keyboard keys to the buttons. Even better if there were game specific settings. Did anyone figure out if that's possible at all? Thanks a lot!

"I'd certainly nominate [The Dreadnaught Factor] for remake status. With some visual upgrades, it would make a great XBLA download." -IGN Review "A cheapo remake [of The Dreadnaught Factor] on XBOX Live Arcade would be a blast..." -flojomojo "Would also like to see a remake of an old Intellivision game called 'The Dreadnought Factor' (also on the atari 5200)" -Andifferous This needed doing. So I did it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=85j1Agw6Zgw The current version is just a prototype for the CREATE Jam contest. The prototype runs on generic Android hardware with an attached game controller. (e.g. Ouya dev hardware, an MK808 stick, or a Nexus 7 tablet) The game is ultimately going to be developed for the Ouya and GameStick game consoles. If anyone is interested in trying the prototype, let me know and I'll post the APK file. Note that I need your support to progress in the CREATE Jam contest. Please support me in the contest by liking the video below! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bpLWWQ85VuE Hope you like it, and I'd love to hear your thoughts!

I did not see it mentioned here before but if it is old new I'm sorry. Jeff Minter (of Tempest 2000 fame) has released a revamped version of his oldy Gridrunner for Android and iOS. The Android version is Donationware and the iOS version is $0.99. Maybe this is the time to upgrade my Symbian phone to Android Robert http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=t4WOnuqeetI

Just wanted to let everyone know about the release of Gaming on Batteries Magazine #1. GoB Mag is a new take on the way gaming magazines present their content. We don't have columns of text, minuscule pictures of the games (or worse, very few pictures). We don't waste pages on page after page of editorials by the staff, we focus on the games and displaying them as well as we can within the confines of a page. The contents of the first issue are: Reviews: Kid Icarus: Uprising on the 3DS Zelda Ocarina of Time 3D on the 3DS Kid Dracula on Game Boy Virtua Tennis Challenge on Android Rayman Origins on PS Vita and the following Features: 8 Essential Game Boy Games E3 Focused on Portable Gaming I think the magazine is attractively priced at a buck for the digital and $4.99 +shipping for the print. The physical print copies use 80# Text Paper Stock, the same as the old 90's Gamefan magazine. The pages are sturdy and will hold up quite well to the deluge of ink on each page. The staff of Gaming on Batteries Magazine are: Myself, Carl Williams, my professional publishing work includes Copy Editing Classic Video Gamer Magazine (#1, #2 and #3), Managing Retro Editor for Gamefan Magazine (reboot, issue #6) and owning/operating the Gaming on Batteries website. Nick Abrams was one of the retro writers for Gamefan #6 and is co-owner with me on Gaming on Batteries. Ryan Janes and Carl Burton are our resident UK writers. Dustin Vogler is a member of the Classic L337 podcast and staff writer for GoB. Kevin Sousa is co-host of The Paranerds podcast and staff writer for GoB. Copy Editors and debuting in future issues are: Eric Bailey, better known as The Nintendo Legend. Michael Crisman, former writer for Gamefan magazine (issue #6, see a pattern yet?) Jason Fanelli, dude is all over gaming and a former writer for Gamefan magazine (nope, not issue #6 but #7 and, I believe, #. We are interested in hearing what fans think of the magazine, what they would like to see more of and what they think we did wrong. Fans can write to cwilliams@scenic7pr.com for now. Gaming on Batteries Magazine is available on Magcloud at http://www.magcloud.com/browse/issue/416376 Gaming on Batteries can also be found at http://www.gamingonbatteries.com

I don't know anything about android except than I'm not a 'smartphone person.' Lately I've been seeing inexpensive little android game systems like this one and am wondering how it all works and what I should be looking out for when selecting a unit. Raft of questions: Does anybody have a similar device and do they work well? How does button support work? Do they map to the screen? This is an android 2.3 device--is that good or bad? How will I get games onto this device? I'm assuming phone networks have handy app stores, and this unit probably won't. What can I look forward to as far as functionality and games that will really blow my socks off? (I have angry birds on my psp and think it's awful) Are there any stellar 4x strategy, turn-based squad strategy, space trading/combat, or sim-ish racing games to look forward to?

I am thinking about getting an Xperia Play, mainly for playing the massive amount of available Android apps with a real keypad. Does anyone here have one? Are the controls good, or is it an arbitrary combination of the d-pad and touch controls? Can it run emulators better than it's PSP cousins? Lastly, if I just purchase the unit alone without any contract or phone service, can I still use wifi to buy Android games? Thanks.

I love the selection of retro games available on iOS. The problem is, of course, that touch controls suck. Is their another mobile platform, excluding traditional modern handhelds, that has decent controls? Does anyone have experience with playing games on an Android device? What is the availability of retro games from other stores that have download content for phones? In other words, is mobile phone gaming outside of Apple an enjoyable experience?

I am interested in investing in a new device for emulation and classic gaming. I currently have an iPhone 3GS. It is a wonderful machine for browsing the web and using multimedia stuff. However, the touch controls are abysmal, and I cannot seem to acclimate to them, no matter how much I try. This is a shame, as iTunes has some really nice classic games available for download. I am hesitant to purchase a third-party joypad given Apple's pattern of blocking them through firmware updates. Which brings me to my next question: what is the best mobile device that uses an actual gamepad? PSP: I had a hacked PSP-1000 a while back, and loved it. The layout of the buttons was just perfect for NES games, PS1 titles emulated flawlessly and most SNES stuff ran. Do the later revisions (Go, 3000) have a little more horsepower for emulation? Xperia Play: I am very interested in this machine. Can it emulate other systems as well, or better, than it's cousin, the PSP? Also, if I buy it without a contract (no phone service), can I still jailbrake it and get it to function as a gaming machine? Also, for the price (a little under $300), is it worth it? Galaxy Tablet: Will I get locked out of a third party controller with a sneaky update? And does it have the chops to handle smooth emulation? Android phones (misc): Any recommendations? Thanks!
