    Hi,

    I bought the Xperia Play for emulation, and whilst it happily runs SNES, Megadrive, NES and other emulators perfectly well, i've encountered two basic glitches, one of them CATASTROPHIC errors using UAE4Droid to run amiga games.

    1. The sound is slightly out of sync - this is not the end of the world, but could do with fixing.

    2. The biggie - Why on earth when playing numerous Amiga games does the pad automatically start you playing as both player 1 and player 2. This completely wrecks the game. For example, playing Midnight Resistance is totally ruined because when you start up, you can't just play one player. Same with car racing game Nitro. You boot it up, and both player 1 and player 2 are fighting over the same control system. I can't work out why this is happening and have tried numerous different alternatives to solve it.

    Has anyone tried this? If so, what are your experiences with it. Have you figured a workaround? Even if it was something where you have to quickly change controls, i could deal with that.....

    Its such a pity, as it actually runs the Amiga games by and large smoother than it does on the XP than it does on the Nintendo Wii. If only they could sort out this obvious but clearly "deal breaking" bug.

    Your thoughts!!
