I've been playing this on my Desire and it works better than I expected. It's mostly smooth but you get a some lag with the sound. I've been playing Super Mario 64 and Paper Mario. Ocarina of Time is apparently not yet working but they have said that they are going to be updating and improving the emulator. I'm sure the compatibility and quality will improve soon because this is the same guy who made Gameboid and NESnoid
 
Will it work on the old Android phones like HTC Droid Incredible and the Evo?

EDIT: So how does it run compared to the N64 emulator on PSP or wii.

I'm not sure if it will work with those, but it does say:
Run most games smoothly at a reasonable speed (if not full speed) with sound. This requires you have a high-end device (Nexus-S, Nexus-One, Droid, Samsung Galaxy, etc).
It's not as good as those emulators yet, but they are going to update and improve it, so I would wait before buying. They should release a Lite version so you can try it out for free.

Ocarina of time working here.

IMO much better than PSP version. I wonder hows this will run on galaxy s2, atrix and LG optimistic 2x. Apart from the LG they have 1gb ram and 1ghz dual core cpu

Nexus One
Tried mario 64 eith wiimote+classic controller and its fantastic
goldeneye is 1fps lol
 
Impressive start i have to say, it's already better than the PSP one (which has been in development for years and still has issues). Controls with just the face buttons are decent considering it's touch screen only for most people. Only issue is with the Z button, it's really obnoxious to deal with. I'm testing on a Samsung Fascinate (Galaxy S), which i hear has a pretty powerful GPU. Tested the 1.1 version.

Super Mario 64- 100% playable and fullspeed
Banjo Kazooie- 100% playable with a frameskip of 1 (framebuffer glitches like some PC emulators have)
Kirby 64 Crystal Shards- 100% playable, needs frameskip of 2 or 3 (forgot which). Minor glitch on Kirby's face.
Zelda OOT- 100% playable, but a bit slow for the moment, virtually no glitches (as i can see)

The following games i tested did NOT work, which is no surprise considering they were later gen N64 games and stressed the system more (or used the expansion pack). They're hard to even get working on PC emulators sometimes-
- Conker's Bad Fur Day (gets past some logos, but freezes before the N64 chainsaw logo)
- Banjo Tooie (shows the opening shot at spiral mountain but pressing start freezes before the menu)
- Donkey Kong 64 (doesn't boot, black screen)
- Paper Mario (crashes on load, someone said it works above, but it won't for me, tips?)

The only problem I would have with this is the control... touch screen controls would seem brutal for most N64 games, but maybe that's just me.

Not if you hook up wiimote+classic controller via Bluetooth

Meh I don't care at all...my stupid HTC Desire ends up having 5-6 reboot loops whenever I play a graphics heavy game like Asphalt 4 or Pocket Legends....this will just blow it away.

EDIT:- Desire has become so annoying, I feel like going back to my Nokia 5700 xP (Had the Desire for only 2 months, what a crap...old phones ftw)

Root your phone, backup and flash a custom Rom - problem solved.

Also you can use wiimote and classic controller on majority of emu's on Android including this via Bluetooth

Thats what I've done lol. Still reboots. Got any stable ROM recommendation??

Doesn't that make it sort of pointless then? I mean, when your controller is bigger then your screen, I think that's a problem. Certainly doesn't make it very portable...

thats an option, not neccessary as there is touch control on the screen

Which would go back to my original point of the touch controls would seem to be brutal for most N64 games.
 
love this little emulator

works amazing on HTC desire HD
sounds a little choppy and only slightly slow at points

already updated to 1.1

Let's not forget that the psp has 6 year old hardware....333mhz against devices capable of overclocking to 1.6 ghz isn't very fair to compare.
