Android GamesWhether free or paid, put Games on your Android Phone and play them! Talk about, share and discuss games for Android here. New apps can be found and announced in the Applications Announcements forum linked below.
So here is how it works. Put a hyperlink of the game's wiki and use this color coding key.
Green = Fully working runs at great speed/ minor lag at most
Blue= Partially working (excessive lag, random crashes, bad sound quality)/(resolution to problem if there is one)
Red= Doesn't start at all or cant get past title screen
I'll Start the List
if you have any fixes please post.
Great added to the list. Just Do me a favor from here on out.
Please put it as the same color/font/size (saves me a lot of trouble)
Keep them in Bold ( no italics)
Also all your links were wrong, you put http:// twice.
I couldn't find mario land 4 (think its only for GBC) and please put the games in the format above. Really saves me the struggle of getting the wiki and making the colored hyperlink.
Advance Wars (USA)
Advance Wars 2 - Black Hole Rising (USA)
Final Fantasy IV Advance (Europe)
Final Fantasy VI Advance (USA)
Legend of Zelda - The Minish Cap
Pac-Man World
SD Gundam Force
Sonic Advance 2
Other than Phantasy Star Collection, I have only tested the following games in so far as they run fine through start up and to where I have controlled. I haven't played very far in any.
I looked at GS2 and Kingdom Hearts. Both of those had similar size ROMs that played just fine (ie, 64 or 128). But, the actual size on the disk seemed larger, though Fire Emblem seemed to be a bigger file than Fire Emble 2, so I don't really know. Hopefully, it is a simple thing for the dev to fix.
hey does anybody know if gameboid has the ability to use gameshark or any type of codes..ive been looking and no luck finding any answers..im assuming it might be a negative but im hoping not..contact back plz thnx
gameboid does not have the ability to use gameshark codes. at least not directly. if you google gameboid gameshark, you will come across various posts of people using vba (visual boy advance) to use permament codes (more money, stat hacking, pokemon, etc). Keep in mind, this uses the in game save, not a save state. I haven't tried this, so I don't know how easy it is, but I bet you can get help if you have problems from whatever forum you find the info.

Ues a computer emulator such as visual boy advanced and put them on there then put the sav on your sd this will not work for temperary cheats
Does anyone know if blackbrawler is ever gonna update this thread? I am in favor of continued posting, but it does make it difficult to go through every reply to make sure I am not duplicating anything. I might make a new thread and take ownership of updates if he can't.
im trying to get gba to work it wont. neither will sega or nes. my droid is rooted do emulators work on rooted droids?? i am dumb i dont care just wanna mke sure im not crazy too lol.
Rooting shouldn't have any effect on the running of gameboid. I don't have a droid, but I haven't heard of anyone having problems on the droid. Make sure you have gba_bios.bin.
KI did dl gba_bios.bin file from both a link in this thread and another from rapidshare but after opening gameboid I clidck browse go to down load and click the gba white page and it goes back to browse or cancel. Idk if I mised something I'm not unziping the bin file. it won't work for nes or snes either.
Hmm...so nesoid and snesoid aren't working either, right? that's weird. start another thread that explains the problems you are having. I will look at it there as well as it might get others to look at it as well. People who might know what the problem is might not check this thread because of the title of the thread. Oh, and post a link to the thread please.
i Got Gba to work i cleaned up the phone re instaledd bb rom and dled the gba bin file from the comp as oppose to using the phone, and now im playing earthworm jim 2 lol fu king nuts. now im gonna re try snes. do you know if pilot wings work, or anyone else know?
Great find KatanaPL! I just tried this and it works just like you said. I just did a quick save when the game froze, then did a quick load and it picked up where it froze, but with no issues. Very cool!

Can anyone confirm Final Fantasy Tactics Advance? It worked on pocketgba until the first temple which has a video cutscene that has weird graphics. (A black portal thing that sucks you in).
Don't have time to color code or link to wiki, but the following run perfectly so add them to the green list:
Star Wars: Jedi Power Battles
Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance
Contra Advance: The Alien Wars
Bionicle: Maze of Shadow
Crash Bandicoot - XS
Dynasty Warriors Advance
Pitfall - The Mayan Adventure
Prince of Persia - The Sands of Time
Racing Gears Advance
Sonic Battle
GT Advance 2
@flaring afro: do u know where I can get a save state for that? I can test it out then. Also, just for grins, have you tried the trick mentioned above that makes kingdom hearts work?

I still have a windows mobile phone (waiting for either the N1 or the Incredible to come to verizon). I was just curious. That trick did not work in pocketgba but that was a lot less developed than gameboid. Was just curious because it's hours into the game but still keeps you from getting far.
I am not sure. I haven't played long enough to get to that part. If it doesn't work, you can always email the dev. He is really good about responding quickly. Hopefully, someone who has played the game on an android device will chime in. It sounds like you are going to get an android device in any case. You can always download the "lite" version of the app and see if things work. The only difference, afaik, between the lite and paid is the paid enables "save states", meaning you can save the game at any time. You can still save in-game, using the game's save options in the "lite" version.
I found a sav file that I can use. It seems to be a couple of missions before the first temple, but give me a couple of days (maybe a week depending on work schedule) and I will let you know what I find. If the KH:CoM trick doesn't work, then I will email the dev and let him know.
