Nice to see that my tablet is being well used Kev, glad your enjoying it!

Can you use more then 1 controller?I'm insanely jealous at the moment

I've seen a pic of someone playing on a 4 player multi tap thing so yes, depending on the emulator of course

Which media player have people been using? Not sure which ones best utilise the tegra chipset.Tried diceplayer which played mkv fine from a share but seemed to have issues with sd xvid avis

Rockplayer for me though not tried MKV, have tried xvid / avi.

I bought mine to see how much id use a tablet and have love the idea of changing roms and playing about with the vega

Been through loads of them now. Seems none properly support mkv yet. You either get full hardware acceleration with perfect video but no sound or software decoding with sound but choppy video.
The different players seem to perform better on different roms too. Diceplayer is best on Corvus 5 but mx player is best on modaco r8

I think it's only a matter of time before we see a fully hardware accelerated tegra movie player. The hardware is definitely up to it

I don't suppose you got a source? How have you found the battery life?

[maltloaf]

battery is fine i'd guess 7 hours continuous but haven't measured it

Just been playing with FPSe psx emulator on the vega. Full speed, full screen with stereo sound. Lovely

FPse for android

Been playing Abe's Oddysee on the 42" LCD this morning via HDMI out from the Vega, and with an xbox 360 pad. Quality gaming

I've gone mad downloading PSX games since I discovered how well this little set up works. Not all work but most do and at full speed

[maltloaf]

short video here of Tekken 3, forgot to set the frame limiter on so the FMV at the start is a bit mental (160FPS!) but at least you can see the performance in-game (50-60 fps)

I know one thing, playing Tekken one handed is really hard lol.

Corvus 5 rom, you need to make sure whatever rom you use has usb host and game pad support.

If you need any help let me know. I'm currently playing ridge racer 4 and it's amazing fun

Does playing psx games eat the battery alot faster than regular android games ?.
