Well I've read on various forums, including this thread, that all of Robert Broglia's emulators are excellent (GBA.emu in this case) but I've not tried them so can't vouch for them myself.

How much extra am I supposed to be downloading for Jurassic Park Builder? I installed the apk from the app store, ran it, saw an intro vid, and then a download started. It got to the end and then the app closed. When I opened it back up the same thing happened, but with a slightly different sized download. This has happened 4x now with files of varying sizes between 120 and 130 MB. I get the feeling this is not correct.
Thanks. Digging into the reviews I see others are having the same issue. I'll wait for a patch.

Someone on here recommended GBA.emu and it works great. No crashes or anything. Works flawlessly with my new Moga controller, too.

Thank you, I'll probably pick it up after the sales.
If you have rooted phone use Link2SD like all cool kids.
I enjoyed it very much, though I've never played Shadowrun.
Thanks for the heads up! I guess I'm a little lucky, I only had to hit 08 to get mine to pop up. Delivery date: Christmas Eve! YAY!
I completely forgot about that app. I installed it after rooting, reflashed not long after, and forgot all about it. I guess it was one of the few apps that I didn't restore from backup. Thanks.
That's when mine was supposed to arrive, but it got delayed in WI due to the weather. I understand that's out of their hands, but it did take an entire week to get there. Unfortunately I'm flying out on the new due date.
Well it reads your contact list if it makes the decision any easier..
GBA.emu
Nothing else comes close. Pay the $3.99 and get the best. All Robert's emu's are fantastic, regularly updated and feature native Wiimote and iCade support built in out of the box.
Sideload SNES.emu if you want a free preview of the rest.

I heard about that, but what exactly is it reading? Is it checking to see if any of your friends might be registered users on Origin, so that it can populate your "most wanted" list? PS3 & PS Vita version already do something like this in reverse (using registered PSN accounts), as I've seen at least one of my real-life friends on the "most wanted" list, even though he's playing the PC version.
Oh that is a good point actually, that might be it...can't say though, curious myself now.

I bought it even though they can read your contacts list which is rather odd. It runs really well on my A100 which is a Tegra 2 device. The game is big though, it is 2GB.
Do you know if it tells you scores that people in your contact list got?
Oh 2GB..I'm already at my limit as well, need a microsd card

Do you mean like how Hot Pursuit show friends time with the social network? It shows a most wanted list and does bother me to sign into Origin from time to time so I want to say yes but since I don't use Origin much I cant confirm since I have no friends on my list.
Ah I see okay thanks - seems a bit unnecessary to need the contact list for that though.

I downloaded all four Zenonia titles. Strange how the first and second cost money, but the third and forth games are free. Haven't tried them yet.
Also looking at some of those so called HOG games, but some of them have an interactive adventure quality to it. Was eyeing Theatre of the Absurd.

They aren't free. You get to enjoy in app purchasing. When the first two were made, IAP wasn't the idiotic 'standard' that it is nowadays.
Darkmakaimura
Can You Imagine What SureAI Is Going To Do With Garfield?
So I heard but is it required to make the purchases? Is the complete game there when you download it or do I have to buy chapters? Or is it just buying good weapons and armor that I may or may not need?
Don't know how it works in particular in these newer games in the series, but as a general rule of thumb I don't waste my time with that kind of shit anymore.
Either give me the whole game for full price, which I will be more than happy to pony up the cash for and support, or not at all.
By supporting this trend, it will just make the 'Smurfberries' worse. Then again, actually paying for cash up front and then getting IAP's is the worst offense - as all those initial Dead Trigger purchasers have discovered.

getting an android phone soon and saw this. Curious myself.
Darkmakaimura
Can You Imagine What SureAI Is Going To Do With Garfield?
Yeah, I'd really like to know if it's actually required to make purchases. As in, just paying for good items or paying to unlock the second half of the game? Anyone here could answer that would be helpful.

So does anyone have an answer to my question regarding Zenonia 4? I'm really wondering if the IAPs are required to complete the game.

Does anybody play Heroes of order and chaos on the Nexus 7? Doesn't seem to want to boot up.
PLAY store says it's compatible though.

I've only just finished 1 and about to start 2, but from what I've read on message boards I don't think the IAPs are required at all.
And I found this review:
Darkmakaimura
Can You Imagine What SureAI Is Going To Do With Garfield?
That's good if that's the case because Zenonia 4 looks really good. I would hate to have to find out it's not a complete game and requires paid downloads to add on portions of the game to complete it.
I've only read good reviews about this series and that's why I dived in. 5 is released too so I'm looking forward to play all of them.
Darkmakaimura
Can You Imagine What SureAI Is Going To Do With Garfield?
Yeah, I love JRPGs and this series looks pretty good. Actually, it looks a bit more Zelda-ish which is a good thing too. I'm hoping the get Zenonia 5 out for the Kindle Fire HD but it's nice to have all four of them on it right now.

Yep, works perfectly on my N7. Criterion have put in a decent amount of effort into the mobile version as well. For one, it syncs progress across whichever platforms you own the game for (through Origin). I had finished the game on PC and when I started the Android version, I got a whole bunch of car unlocks directly. It looks good and runs pretty well too. You have to get used to tilt steering though. There's an option to use the touchscreen to steer if you want, but that's even worse IMO. For a dollar, you really can't go wrong with the game.
I'm against IAPs as much as the next guy, but is it really so bad if a free game required a payment to get the full experience? As long as it's reasonably done and not a cheap money grab, I don't see any reason to complain.
This is how I feel. So many games require you to buy packs of potions/coins/whatever to keep playing the game. You could theoretically spend $50+ if you wanted to play the game regularly for weeks without being frustrated by waiting. That's the wrong way. However, if it's paying a buck or two to unlock the full game or a few levels at a time from what is essentially a demo, I have no problem with it. As long as it's obvious and there's full disclosure about what the free version is and what you can/need to pay for to make it a worthwhile experience I'm okay with IAP.
I also have no issue with games like Jetpack Joyride and Spell Sword where the gameplay is fun and I can pay a couple of bucks to get money twice as fast, but the game itself is good enough that it's fun and not tedious to just play it without constantly pumping money in. The design of those games doesn't feel like IAP was the focus.

Rayman Jungle Run is $0.99 on the Amazon App Store.

This version seems to be compatible with other / more devices. Ex. my a100 can't get it from the Play Store but Amazon will let me download it.

Hey guys, wtf? Wild Blood is good. Like, legitimately good. What the hell does Gameloft think it's trying to pull here?
I've never found a Gameloft game to be really compelling or engaging before. At best they were competent, like Order & Chaos. This shit is really a good beat 'em up, it reminds me of one of my favorite old classics "Knights of the Round".

I'd rather pay up front for the full experience. Zenonia 1 and 2 cost .99 cents each and contain that. I don't want to have to pay multiple installments to receive a full game. Now granted, I have nothing against paying extra for certain weapons or armor that you may or may not need, but I don't want to have to pay for chapters or whatnot on a single-player game that is absolutely required to complete it.
Also, from a couple complaints I read, people don't like paying around $20 - $30 or more for a mobile game that shouldn't cost more than $10 for a full out experience.
So, my problem with Zenonia 4 wouldn't be paying for items that would help you out much better but rather paying for actual portions of the game required to complete it.
That's my feeling as well. My problem with IAPs is that the developers will never tell you upfront how much you need to pay to get the full experience. I'd rather know the real price of a game before I invest the time into it so I can make an informed decision instead of left hanging in the middle of the game.
So while I won't avoid games with IAPs, I'd definitely check multiple reviews and messages boards before I download them.

Has anyone here received a moga from the freebie deal a couple weeks ago and tried to use the universal driver to play emulators?
I can't get the driver to connect to the moga consistently and it's super annoying. I got it to work a couple times but not on a consistent basis. I'm using the IME since i'm not rooted.

I'm having a hard time believing you guys are paying for ports of normaly free emulators.

People will throw £3.50 in a split second at emulators but not regular phone games. Weird how that works.

Just learned about the App Wiimote Controller. Are there any free SNES emulator where i could try it out ? Or legit Android plattformes which can be controlled via Wiimote ?

If anyone here was thinking about picking up Chaos Rings for $4, I'm enjoying it so far. Annoying DRM aside, it's fun and simple JRPG, and it's actually a decent Android port as opposed to FFI and II.
On the other hand, I wouldn't recommend Wild Blood. Game looks nice but gameplay is bland and combat feels really clunky and stilted. I was hoping for a decent God of War-like action game but it's just a boring hack and slash.
