Help me to choose: Galaxy SIII or iPhone 4S?

With the exception of N64oid, I strongly recommend against using Yongzh's apps. Except for N64oid, all of them haven't been updated for over a year and some of them are beginning to show incompatibility issues with any android version newer than Gingerbread (SNESoid doesn't even work at all except for sound, and GBCoid has glitches involving when to use game boy color mode). And Gensoid has a couple graphical issues that were never fixed. That said, since all of his apps are free on slideme (except N64oid), it couldn't hurt to try them out.

They took the hard work of a guy named Paul Lamb, he worked on porting Mupen+ to Android and these jerk-offs took his source code and infested it with ads... They then DMCA report any of his attempts at keeping his version on the Play Store.

Wait, so THAT'S what's been going on with Paul's version getting knocked off Play and stuff? What crooks!

Yes, you can catch up on the drama by reading these threads.

Oh and about SNES emulators.... The guy who makes the .EMU emulators has an excellent SNES emulator available for free, it use to be on the Play Store, but is now only available from his website.

Thanks for the info.

Regarding the SNES emulator, I know someone has a free SNES emu on the playstore. From what I see, it's an exact clone of Yongzh's SNESoid app, but it's been updated to be compatible with Android 4.0 ICS.

SNESoid worked fine for me on my Acer Iconia A100 and Nexus 7 tablets maybe it's phone incompatibility? BTW the iconia had 4.0 ICS and the 7 had 4.1.1 JB. >>

Odd. My HP TouchPad is running Android 4.0.4 and SNESoid works like a charm.

I guess it depends on the phone. Quite a few people with different phones have complained about the issues, according to my research.

Just while we're on the subject: can anybody recommend a good GBC emulator? I'm using GBCoid at the moment on my Nexus but if I have it in portrait mode it has horrible blur-o-vision.

Which Nexus? Try tweaking the GBCoid settings? Go to settings > audio & video settings > scaling mode and play around with it?

But regardless, GBCoid is horribly outdated and hasnt been updated in a year. Try this one...

Eugh... £1.99 for an emulator... I'll look for somewhere else to test it first.
Its a Galaxy Nexus. Probably where most of the issues stem from (Android 4.1.1 bitches!). Other issues include the Start and Select buttons appearing at the top of the screen. I find it weird that the blurring dissappears when its in Landscape.

Android 4.1 is almost certainly the issue here. Since GBCoid hasn't been updated since about 6 months before the release of Android 4.0, it's not optimized to work with it. I know when running stock or CM7 or any other 2.3 build on my phone it works fine, but the moment I put CM9 (which is Android 4.0), GBCoid started having compatibility issues such as when to use GBC mode and not (games like Pokemon and other "GBC-optional" games would only show up in B&W, for example).

Post content + signature + thread necro.

All signs point to APPLE FANBOIII.

Good job on the necro. 0/10.

First of all, there's an offer @ Vodafone and I don't want to wait and pay more for an iPhone 5. That first, but I am not sure which phone suits me the best. I am an experienced iOS user because of my iPod Touch 4th gen, but I want a real phone now.

So maybe you can help to decide what fits me the best:

1. Good music player(like the iPod one ;p)
2. long value, must not loose support within the next 2 years
3. good emulators(GBA, SNES, PSX(maybe?) and N64)

That's it for now ^^ Maybe you can help me with these points to decide what to get.

Samsung has pretty shit support for their android devices. Rooting will deal with that, but again a minority doesn't root their android device. iPhone 4S will likely continue to have support all the way to iOS 7.X

For iPhone, it's almost the same as an iPod Touch for music. Via iTunes... iTunes Match... Blablah: so nothing really new. As for Samsung, I don't really like their music interface. But this is all personal preference.

Android has a myriad of emus. Go to google and search for some reputable ones. As for Apple, their emulators are generally inferior, plus you need to jailbreak your device (which again, a minority doesn't).

I would suggest getting a HTC if you want something new, but GS3 is also quite a good choice. If you just want a phone that functions well and similar to the Touch, go for 4S.

 

[BORTZ]

GS3. It's a way better phone.
