Firmware: WebClaw 116-7
I thought it would be helpful for myself and others to talk about what does work (or not) on a 7800b JXD device. If you want to add your personal experience with this unit so others do not make the same mistake or they could copy your good experiences, this would help people to move in the right direction with this unit (could even help individuals decide should they buy it or not)
I will start with the bad experiences first:
-Gl tools 107xda
It kind of work on this device. tested it with the new "Walking dead Seasons apk Amazon Kindle version" and it did work (it does look good, you can get the free demo now on Google play) I use the word "kind of" because the fist time i used it it soft brick my unit... when i finally did get it to work (install your apk fist then install the GL tools last) it allowed me to play games not designed for this unit but at a performance cost of 10 to 20% on all other games (not really worth keeping)
-the top right analog joystick does not always universally work (remember some games like ShadowGun have the JXD game profiler tuned on automatically. just activated the mapper and hit "clean/close" and you will notice a perfectly working right joystick... if you need to map your action buttons then map them... also works for RTCW4A and Dead Trigger 1). you can not map the right analog joystick to games unless you use the JXD touch screen maper. the stars represent the sensitivity so just play around with it. keep in mind if it works with out the JXD mapper it will move a lot smoother.
-after a period of time with using the joysticks your touch screen will stop working (you need to flick your power switch and everything will be fine).
- i had a usb problem with the unit re-starting but it is debatable if it has anything to do with the unit. looking thought the net if found enough theories (no real had facts) that if the usb device is faulty it could cause a short that in turn will cause your unit to crash, freeze or reboot. it could also be the otg cable or the mini usb plug on this unit. most of my usb devices do work only the one caused my unit to re-start.
now the good news:
PPSSPP v9.8-238
remember not every game is going to work, more like 1 out of 5 will work perfectly. games that i am playing are:
Gladiator, Manhunt 2, Miami Vice, Narato Ultimate ninja Heroes, NHL 07, Shinobido: tales of a ninja, SoulCalibur: Broken destiny, Star Treck: Tactical Assault, Steambot Cronicles, Valkyria cronicals 2, and Way of the samurai
Reicast R6 alpha
It is even worse in this one, 1 out of 20 seems to work perfectly.
Shadowman, Resident Evil Veronica and Soul Reaver
PS1 (most of your emulators are good)
I like to play with the OpenGl plug in for better graphics (almost N64 level) The PS1 has the highest success rate (with out the OpenGl plugin) 8 out of 10 games should work perfectly.
Alien resurrection, Armored Core Master of arena, Front mission 3, Martian Gothic, Resident Evil 2 and Star Trek Invation
N64 (I use the old and dead N64oid 2.7 for hi-res texture games and Mupen64Plus for some of the others)
I have downloaded and used all of the available High resolution texture pack (not that many exist, location to install... N64oid 2.7 kept the location in sdcard\.n64oid\hires_texture\"name of the game folder") it really helps make these classic games look even better. 6 out out of 10 games will work perfectly.
AreoGuage, Airboarder, Earthworm Jim, Goldeneye, Kirby, Legend of Zelda 1 and 2(hi-res), Mace, Mega man, Paper Mario(hi-Res), Perfect Dark, Ready to rumble 2, Star Fox(hi-res), Super Smash(hi res) and Super Mario(hi-Res)
Now android games:
Wanting to see what this unit can do, i have tested all of these games for afew minutes, and during those few minutes all of these games ran smooth with no problems. Not every game can be downloaded from the Google store and others are modiffied to run on Mali GPU's. here is the list:
9mm, Anomaly 1/2, Arlon HD, Bard's tale(hi-res pack), bladeslinger, Breach and clear, Can knock down 1 to 3, Conduit HD, Contract Killer 1 and 2, D-Day, Dark meadow, Dead Effect, Dead Space, Dead trigger 1 and 2 (both had the .xml file edited for ultra visual settings), Dues Ex, Dragon Slayer, Dungeon Hunter 4, Dungeon nightmare, Epoch, getaway, GOF 2, GTA (all versions), House of the dead, Horn, Imperial Gal2, Jedi Kight 2, Jelly Defence, LOD tactics, Lonewolf, Modern Combat 4, Mass Effect infiltrator, MX meltdown, NOVA 3, NFS most wanted, Ravensword 2, Rayman Series, Real racing 3, Rema, Riptide GP2, Rise to Glory, Return to Castle Wolfinstine (plus mods), Quake 1 and 2 (plus mods), ShadowGun, Shadowrun, Shardland, Sine Mora, Call of duty - Strike team, summit X, Survival craft, Bat man, The Desent, The room, trial Xtreme 3, TW battles, Walking Dead assault (not the episodes), Walking dead (an adventure novel game), and finally World war Z.
Video play back on the unit is good (for me at least, some people are reporting a problem so it could happen to you as well, keep that in mind) Dvix, Xvid, MKV and Avi have been tested on this unit 720p to 1080p with no problem (but under 1.5gb in size... have not tested Videos bigger than that).
So at the end of the day I do feel that this unit is a good gaming machine and is worth the money.
