XC-3730C Posted August 9, 2016 Share Posted August 9, 2016 My brother wants Hyperspin on Android, but doesn't want to spend the money for a Shield TV, so can someone reccomend a good Android box for Hyperspin? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lilcza Posted August 9, 2016 Share Posted August 9, 2016 Nope. Even if he purchased another android box, he would have major performance issues with anything above psx emulation and some Dreamcast. He would have issues even in PPSSPP with some of the higher end emulated games. Nothing compares to the power of the X1 GPU in the shield, until the X2 next year He should go on ebay, get a used 16gb Shield and buy a cheap external. It should be round $140-150 used.

tcmt Posted August 9, 2016 Share Posted August 9, 2016 you may be able to get decent results with odroids mini-computers (kinda like the raspberry pi's but the odorid's can run android), like the odroid c2 here ( http://www.hardkernel.com/main/products/prdt_info.php?g_code=G145457216438 ) or the even more powerful xu-4 ( http://www.hardkernel.com/main/products/prdt_info.php?g_code=G143452239825 ). both run android and i read that emulation performance is alright but no guarantee on that from my site. might be worth looking into it tho since they are quite low priced but powerful. they have a forum over there, so you might want to start there, if interested.

JoyStickKilla Posted August 9, 2016 Share Posted August 9, 2016 Doesn't matter. Hyperspin isn't going to run on anything other than the shield Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tcmt Posted August 10, 2016 Share Posted August 10, 2016 Doesn't matter. Hyperspin isn't going to run on anything other than the shield is there some restriction from hyperspins side to only run on the shield or why is that? haven't really followed hyperspins android development but i'm curious as to why that is.

thatman84 Posted August 10, 2016 Share Posted August 10, 2016 Android devices supported? Android 4.4+ and NVIDIA OpenGL drivers are required for the current alpha. Have confirmed it works with the Nexus 9 tablet, MiiPad, ADT-1, and NVIDIA Shield devices (portable, tablet, and Android TV box) are supported initially. Will add support for other devices later... That's from the "about thread" so there are a few options (mostly tablets I think) and I guess many untested. I did see someone on YouTube with the g-box working. Whatever that is!! I got the shield tv so never look at any other devices so cannot comment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tcmt Posted August 10, 2016 Share Posted August 10, 2016 if someone tries it on one of the odroids, let me know. i think spec wise it's quite powerful for its small form factor. NVIDIA OpenGL Drivers are probably the one thing that might not make this possible, but i'm not familiar enough with it, to say for sure. anyway i read that emulation performance overall is pretty good on the odroid c2 and xu4. found some interesting threads on their forums on that matter ( http://forum.odroid.com/viewtopic.php?f=135&t=19176 // http://forum.odroid.com/viewtopic.php?f=116&t=16103&start=50#p127054 ) they even have their own subform for gaming/emulation on odroids ( http://forum.odroid.com/viewforum.php?f=91 ).
