Does anyone have the same issue? I already clicked install from unknown sources. I have the files saved to the sd card. On my Droid X the roms played flawlesly. Im sure the bionic can handle the,. I used snes oid, nesoid and so on . The emulator turns on but when I search for files to open they are not there. Those exact same emulators work on my motorola xoom. Anyone got any tips or has anyone gotten it to work?

I think that the way the Bionic does its memory is the problem. Put the rom folders on the internal memory location and see if the emulator is able to see the folders and roms.

Which emulator are you using now and this may sound weird but are you tring to access the roms made for that emulator because I have done this before, was using a N64 emulator and was accessing PS2 roms that are not compatible with that emulator?

On my sd card I placed all roms in different folders I have snes, nes , gameboy and sega. I know Im picking the right one An example super mario world. Im sure the roms will work however the phone does not even see the folders. I click on open roms and the rom folders are not there so I cant even select the rom.

More information on what emulator you are using, they all are configured a bit diffrent so I cant direct you if I cant picture the emulator because some emulators wont show roms until you scan the SD Card and some requires the files to be in a specific location...  Once again the name of the emulator may help because there is more than one for Sega...

OMG you are a GENIOUS! LOL thats what the problem was. it has internal memory and the files were on the sd card. I used the files app to move the folders over and WALLA! It works! Now to figure out how to pair a ps3 remote to this baby! :smileyvery-happy: With hd mirroring this is GREAT!
