So, I dove in headfirst and I admit that I am pleasantly surprised.

Last weekend I decided to finally pick up a smartphone, going with the Samsung Captivate, which is of course Android based.

I rooted my phone, installed the lag fix (2285 benchmark BABY!!!) and the thing has been worth every single penny I paid, which was $150 before tax. Me and my girlfriend each got one since we were eligible for upgrades on my AT&T plan.

Anyways, being the pirate that I am I decided to download a bunch of apps which I refused to pay for like the SNES, NES and PS1 emulators. PS1 emulator for example is $6 and the guy hasn't updated it in forever, which is total bullshit, but that isn't why I made this thread, lol.

I am currently playing this game called NOVA, which is a FPS title with a full blow campaign. The game is setup in such a way that it is actually a lot of fun to play. Left thumb for analog controls, right index finger for aiming and right middle finger to switch between hitting the shoot button and swapping weapons. It really does work out real well since it makes good use of auto-aim.

Only about 1 hour in, but it is pretty damn good.

Also worth noting is that on the PSX4Droid emulator FFVII, Legend of Mana, SaGa Frontier 2 and Legend of Dragoon all run absolutely fantastic, especially FFVII and LoD. SaGa Frontier 1 has audio and everything but the video doesn't display which is a HUGE letdown.

If this fucker finally gets around to fixing this emulator I would gladly pay him the $6 for the emulator.

 

For JRPG titles a smartphone is definitely worth the investment.

 

 

Alright, just wanted to get that off my chest.
