I'm now debating a custom rom again.. not sure what to go with, as it looks like development is slowing down..

How are you guys getting on with these - still using them? I want something for playing snes games mostly.

Re. the emulators - do they have the touch screen control overly? How well do they run? etc

I will NEVER give up this phone unless another comes along with hardware controls.

But it is showing it's age I reckon if you are interested in 'new' games from the marketplace. Still perfect as a phone and emulator device though.

The touch screen controls can be set to on or off on most emulators. It's simply an option.

If you get the '.emu' range of emulators, the touch screen is already set to automatically disappear once you slide out the hardware controls on the phone.

Here's the SNES version:

As you can see from the reviews, it is excellent.

Cheers for that. gah, I feel a purchase coming on

Play have them for ?150 and cex have some for ?135. I've no idea how reasonable that is. Quick question re. the controls - how do they compare to the PSP? Pretty solid?

I love mine to bits, but the tiny internal memory cripples it, especially if I use facebook & ebay.

D-PAD and face buttons are solid. Very good. I think the shoulder buttons feel less solid than the PSP, definitely.

What I noticed is that your hands feel more cramped compared to the PSP. There is no doubt, the PSP is better control wise, but that is to be expected. Xplay more than adequate once you are used to it the smaller and thinner form factor.

LINK2SD will fix that. Create an 'internal' partition on your memory card, so the phone uses that as internal too.

It was a pain in the next though before I did it.

I've recently picked up a new phone, so have stuck the stock rom back on and re rooted it. I've also used titanium backup to remove everything apart from the bare essentials and using ia as a pure gaming device. It's fast and has brilliant battery life (continuous airplane mode helps)

Sadly not a new Sony phone but a knock off Chinese Android handset

That's is one ugly heap of crap. Try using that as a phone. It's just as stupid as the original Ngage.

Still smaller than my Z Ultra
