Enable it only in menu.I hit it accidentally during playing and game stops, we have menu button for menu so this one could be disabled.

Are you on Ice Cream Sandwich? I used the 'back' button to show/hide the action bar, because on HoneyComb devices, there is no MENU button.

And I want the old app icon back!

I uploaded the translation template file here:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/n64oid/files/strings.xml/download

Feel free to make a translation of that file, and send back to me. Make sure the XML syntax is correct, and the encoding is UTF-8.
Thanks everybody!

Could you add this "cheat" to next version?

It is not true. "Android 4.0 Ready" means N64oid will work properly on Android 4.0. Besides that I also added the (Xperia Play) touchpad support (but it can't be tested until the OS update comes to the phone).

It is almost impossible to make the CPU emulation core to run in multiple threads. The video plugin can be separated from the core thread, but it will need a lot of state copying here and there, which will slow down the emulator, and therefore I don't think it is worth a try.

If I'm right (I don't exactly remember what Schtruck said when I asked him, too technical for me, I should ask again lol), Fpse uses two threads now, but as you said not for the core, I don't exactly know what part of the emu is using the second thread....

I also think this "dual core" option implemented in Fpse mainly benefits for Asynchronous dual cores, like the Qualcomm's ones in HTC Sensation or Evo3D, not really for Tegra2 devices.

Just my two cents, as I really love these two emulators

Hey, love the work, but would it be possible to make the onscreen controller more flexible, i.e. to be able to place the Z button down the bottom right and A/B top left? Games such as Road Rash 64 use Z almost constantly, and would be much easier to use.

I apologise if this has been implemented in 2.6, I haven't had a chance to upgrade yet.

Marcus wrote:+1 to the 'moveable' buttons. 1st person shooters in particular tend to use the Z button for firing which is a total pain. If we could move it to the bottom centre for example (where the start button is) then you could fire easily with either thumb. Currently games like Turok and 007 World is not Enough run beautifully, but are unplayable purely because of the Z button position.

This seems to be requested a lot, so I added it to the list.

That's brilliant - thank you!

It's just my opinion no offence at all but I find the new line-styled on-screen keypad too flashy. I prefer the old on-screen keypad because with high transparency the controls were barely visible. It would be nice to have the choice between the old and the new on-screen keypad and of course replace the transparency option.

New keypad is too visible and that's why it sucks. Add a choice between the old and the new on-screen keypad to next version.

If you think the new keypad is too visible, I can add back the transparency option. Another solution would be to create a skin package (distributed as an apk as well) for the old styled keypad, so that users can install and choose their preferred skin.

+1 to the transparency option back.

A skin package seems a great idea

How about getting Pokemon snap to work. It's the one game I loved on the n64. Plz! Ill give u a cookie

Could you make a project to crowdin? Then adding new languages and updating the translations would be easier.
Finnish translation is in the works but the translator is busy atm

to boost performance a bit, its just small detail but eats a bit of resources.Make it optionable.

Here's a few options that could be added:

-Show FPS (not very usefull but funny anyway)

-Texture filtering (bilinear, trilinear)

-Texture Enhancement (2X, 2XSAI, HQ2X, etc...)

-Multi Sampling

-Anisotropic Filtering

All these functions are already implemented into the rice plugin but they need to be linked to the GUI. Also I'm not sure they will work properly on our android devices?

Another idea would be to have access to a .cfg file containing the video plugin configuration, so people could test different configuration and report what is working and what is not.

Something like that should do the trick:

Don't know if this could be done easilly as I assume many of these options are probably hard coded into the source code.

Actually another idea might be to have the option to play in portrait mode - in FPSE this really speeds up gameplay and is a nice option to have: the performance boost is quite large.

I don't have problems with many games but for things like Conkers Bad Fur day it may help..

Cheers

Hey I'm just wondering if yongzh was working on donkey Kong 64 at all sinceit hasn't had a fix in forever and its one of the reasons I bought this emulator I know lots of other games work but this is the game I care about

Hi definitly hope dual core support will be implemented into N64oid like it is into Fpse!

I've seen Foxhound asking Schtruck how it was implemented into Fpse (on Fpse forum), I hope Yongzh will try (if it's possible to apply it for N64oid) to do the same trick

No news about it?

Currently using a phonejoy bluetooth controller for game play and i have found the analog sensitivity is too touchy for games such as Goldeneye 007 and this destroys gameplay.

Suggest a future upgrade with a controller sensitivity setting for analog toggles. This will improve game play and enhance the N64oid emulator features.

Please +1 if you have experienced the same issue

Thanks

I love the new update, unfortunately yongzh made the ui controls and app icon ugly. So i decided to open up the apk and replaced the images with some new ones i made in gimp. Next step is to give them transparency to hide them a little. If that works out. I will probably message Yongzh to see what he thinks about the new icon/controls I redesigned.

Icon:


Controls:

Not really a feature request, but an unrequest... Can we turn off the stretch video by default? Not a whole lot of 4:3 Android devices out there. It reminds me of watching SD channels on an HDTV at someone's grandparents. They had black bars, so they would stretch the picture

*Shudder*

+1 to this and added to the list.
I actually noticed this when me and some friends were playing Super Smash Bros and it was very hard to walk and not run.

Would love to be able to play this game in full.... Thanks!

Ya I was real excited about playing Majora's Mask on my Captivate 2.2, but it's a huge bummer the notebook pulls up to a black screen. Makes the game near unplayable.

CAN SOMEONE PLEASE FIX THIS GLITCH!?

I hope it's possible. Thanks!

ps: I love the emulator. You guys rock!

I would like to see an option to change the percentage range of the analog stick. As it is, my wiimote can't reach the full range that a N64 can. Mario won't run full speed for example.

I'd like the ability to add my own cheats along with the ones already built into n64oid. Also some of the cheats require a GS button, is there anyway to add that??

To manually add your cheat codes see:
.n64oid/config/
on your SD Card.

Id love to see internal microphone support. Its impossible to play Hey you Pikachu! without a mic of somesort. Which sucks cause it runs smoothly, and im all i3i its a cellphone, there's already a mic, why is it not recognized x3x.,

I would love to see the emulator work in the opposite direction of the current landscape orientation. I use the iControlPad and based on the buttons on my phone I have to mount my controller to my phone the opposite way that N64OID works. All your other emulators rotate based on the G-sensor so they work beautifully, but N64oid doesn't auto-rotate or even give you a choice to force the rotation. I can see a greyed-out option for screen orientation, so I imagine this is an unwritten feature request in your own personal book, but I'd like to officially declare my request to offer screen orientation options.
