WizWor Posted November 1, 2013 Share Posted November 1, 2013 Has anyone emulated an Atari 8-bit computer on the Ouya? If so, how well does it work? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rybags Posted November 1, 2013 Share Posted November 1, 2013 I've got Colleen on my Android phone and tablet, phone at least is somewhat lesser capability than the Ouya and it runs OK there so I'd say it'd go OK. That said, interface issues are my main gripe with games and emulation on Android. Touchscreen doesn't agree with me when trying to play a game that originally worked with a joystick. Given the specs of Ouya, practically anything short of a PS2 should be easy work and anything equal or above might even be achievable.

ggn Posted November 1, 2013 Share Posted November 1, 2013 Well, Colleen's author doesn't have an Ouya so there'll probably not be a port from him... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rybags Posted November 1, 2013 Share Posted November 1, 2013 Properly written Android apps and games should work on most Android type devices so long as the hardware requirements are met and the OS version installed doesn't deviate too much from stock. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Ouya_software Seems it's locked to the extent it only runs software offered via it's own storefront - no Atari emulation listed there, but of course that could change.

From what I know you can run some emulators that are not in the store, like a version of Mame...

WizWor Posted November 1, 2013 Author Share Posted November 1, 2013 I was wondering how an emulator would work with the Ouya's joystick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RevEng Posted November 2, 2013 Share Posted November 2, 2013 According to this thread, Colleen works great side-loaded on Ouya. You can even map the controller. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
