What games are you finding that are better on a Tablet than on a Phone?
I downloaded Dungeon Defenders. The game is optimized for Tegra Chips. You should give it a try. Awesome graphics.
What is your favorite?
Alchemy is definitely better on a tablet over a phone.
Do you know any driving games that work on Elocity?
Thanks
Speed Forge 3D!
Thanks a lot... I will try it.

No need for a thread on this one.
Open app drawer, poke app, profit.
Nvidia has a new app for tegra. It's called tegra zone. The app has all the new games and apps made with tegra in view.

asphalt 5 if you on 1.3 is great
I just put dungeon defenders on this device and it is pretty cool. I am a total newbie to it but graphics r sweet. Seems to draw the power but looks amazing. Now I just got to learn this new game.
Thanks for the news of the tegra app. I would have never known. Very cool.

Bought it on my evo, should still like to know why I couldn't find it on the a7 though.
I was trying to reply to the person who couldn't figure out how to install Angry Birds.
But while I'm here...
I love: Fruit Ninja, Angry Birds, Paper Toss, Pinball Deluxe, Untangle Space Out, aTilt 3D Labyrinth, Ancient Frog, Slots Royale, Bubble Blast, Jewels... (yeah, I'm a chick)...etc.
I'm having a blast and spending way too much time playing games!

You know there's a little tab on the right hand-middle of the desktop. You should be able to click that and your app should be there to click and go. Perhaps you downloaded but the system is still waiting for your instruction to install (happens with some apps)...then you should ckick on settings button, check notifications...if it requires you to click on install, do it. I've customized my A7 a lot so it's hard to remember just how it is from stock. If these options don't work, maybe someone else can help you.
Don't get too frustrated. This is a fantastic device...you have to get to know it and make it work for you.

It looks and runs great....much smother than the same game on my epic 4g. Unfortunately, the fact that the A7 doesn't have multi touch makes it a little irritating to play. It can be done though. I haven't tried it with the xbox controller mod.
Sweet thanks. Will install it later.

What about the popular emulators like Gameboy and genesis? Do they play ok on the Elocity? Asking because of the multi touch.

They play amazing. I just got my Xbox 360 controllers in today. I've been stuck on Mario 3 Most of this evening! The NES,SNES,Genises, And GBA work great. But the PSX is not the best. Though it's hard enough on any device to get PSX emulator smooth enough to play more then once.
You would have to install the MOD from the XDA Fourm. But it's very much worth the time and effort.It's a tweak of Dexter's Mod, So your not losing anything.Hope that gives you a lil help
Happy gaming!
Thanks I<3Android
Will look into the mod soon.
I was surfing the internet and realized someone on xda made a program called "chainfire 3d"....here is the market link....https://market.android.com/details?id=eu.chainfire.cf3d&feature=search_result
the program allows you to change your drivers to nvidia drives and im now able to play samurai II vengeance (which is only meant for tegra 2 phones)....here is the instructions to get the driver to work...http://forum.mobilism.org/viewtopic.php?f=399&t=199488
The game runs perfectly on my phone and I haven't noticed any side effects yet..
p.s. the programs allows to even use the qualcomm drivers as well
EDIT....make sure journaling is on...here is the link for journaling......http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1071723
thanks @063_XOBX for the heads up for having journaling on before....have a nandroid backuop before applying this as well
p.s. some roms already have journaling on, so make sure to check on that before you flash the "journaling on" zip
O.O thanks for sharing! I'm going to try this out later.

I saw that yesterday but didn't even think of a use for it. Awesome that it works.

Fruit Ninja THD is pretty nice, but not enough changes other than having multiplayer (it's splitscreen, not online)
I'm trying Samurai II: Vengeance right now. I'll report back after. So far it seems good.
@whosdaman: download the Tegra Zone app off the market.
Where do you get the Tegra Games?
Alright, I've had enough time to test out Samurai II: Vengeance and the verdict is it's good. It's not amazing, but it's very smooth, seems like an interesting story, and time consuming. However, it is the classic "Hit, hit, slice, roll" controls that can seem repetitive if that's not your style. Otherwise, for a gamer like myself I think it's worth it.
Fruit Ninja THD isn't worth the upgrade, but if you've never tried Fruit Ninja before, get THD immediately!

Holy crap does it work flawlessly. That is kinda pathetic for the Tegra 2 that our phones can play their games effortlessly with a hacked opengl driver. I thought the games would at least be chugging a little bit, but they are perfect. At least Samurai II: Vengeance is.
About to try Monster Madness.
Edit: Monster Madness does not work.

Agreed! Although, this shouldn't be shocking. The reason why these games are meant for dual-core is because of the CPU usage these games use, and their ability to drain the battery pretty quickly if you play for a decent amount of time. Our phones do run the games well, however it does take up a lot of CPU usage, which is why Dual-core is more efficient since it can balance the memory between each processor without stressing either one.
But, does that really matter if you're home or at work next to a charger trying to find a way to pass some time? Of course not. Which is why this is amazing.
Chainfire is a god. Almost makes me want to find out what phone he has and switch to that. He just singlehandedly saved Android a HUGE amount of fragmentation. Seeing developers make games and apps that could only run on a specific hardware setup was worrying to me more than any other sort of fragmentation.

It's only on Tablets right now, I think.
If you look at the Tegra Zone app, it's released for Android phones sometime in June.

Did the news get around about a guy named butcher pete?
i figured everything out...i started over by restoring my nandroid backup...im running urbanlegend rom and i think it already has journaling on (im not sure and I don't know how to check if its on or not)...everything I flashed the zip for the "journaling on", my phone bootlooped...so i restored my old backup and just ran the app and everything works perfectly now...the chainfire app will works now and i am currently playing samurai ( a bit repetitive but a great game)
[email protected] i think this chainfire guy might have solved the android gaming issue also (hopefully)...being able to play games for different processers is awesome and i hope our galaxy s can keep up with the new processers and games that come out next year
the lack of a nvidia chipset is the only bump that is stopping me from getting a Galx2
So i thought it would be a good idea to create a thread in order to allow Desire HD users to share their experiences with Chainfire3D and what apps do or don't work.
The plugin used is listed on the left of the game.
WORKING
[nvidia]Fruit Ninja THD - runs great
[nvidia]Hardwood Solitaire - a little laggy in menus, gameplay is fine
[nvidia]Riptide - a little laggy during gameplay, but playable. Character's graphic a little messed up.
[nvidia]Samuria II: Vengeance - perfect, apart from some menu glitches. Press home and return for temp fix
[none]Plants vs. Zombies HD - works perfect, but buttons very small because tablet optimized
[nvidia]Pinball HD for Tegra - works perfect
[nvidia]My First TRAINZ Set - works but very slow - unplayable.
[nvidia]Backbreaker - works but animations broken
NOT WORKING
Big Bang Racing
Monster Madness
Any other games you have tried with Chainfire? I've been curious to know how Aftermath XHD plays on the Desire HD. Anyone tried that?
I'll try keep this post updated.

Well,given the fact that,being underage,I have no credit card,I only tried Dungeon Defenders THD and it won't play.It instantly closes when I try to launch it.
Just to make sure,you are using the Nvidia plugin,aren't you Beaver?
Big bang racing doesn't work. Just starts up with a screen about device not meeting minimum hardware requirements, seems to be the only game so far that doesn't work.

Yeah using the Nvidia plugin. Maybe try it without the plugin? Or try playing around with the graphic settings in the Chainfire app.
I think, contrary to ethics and all that, the best thing to do is actually pirate a game, see if it works, then buy it if it works. Especially if it's not on this list.
If you buy a game (such as Doktaphex presumably did with Big Bang Racing) and find it doesn't work, you've essentially wasted money on a game that doesn't work.
I know some people will take this the wrong way, but I firmly believe it's the best way to do it.

I tried that a week or so back. It worked without even using Chainfire. But its kind of useless because its optimized for tablets so all the buttons are so small.

Well,I can confirm that Dungeon Defenders works,just not the Tegra edition.When you launch it first time with the Tegra plugin,it downloads the Tegra files,but it cannot start the game itself.If you download the game with the Tegra plugin,then switch the plugin off and run it,it will download the Qualcomm files and run ok.Just a little choppy at times but whatever!
It's quite good in fact.I just got addicted!

So my new SGS2 has ALL this graphical horsepower...is there anything that actually takes advantage of it? I haven't found any reviews of mobile games that really talk about graphics, so I thought I'd ask the xda users what you guys would suggest...
Galaxy on Fire 2 THD
Grave Defense HD is pretty awesome on GS II
Reptide GP. Galaxy on Fire 2. Or that Samurai game. All these are Tegra 2 optimized games, so they look great.
Non tegra games... Modern Combat 2, Grave defence HD, Battlehart...
I also impres my friends with old games running on emulators, like Zelda, Super Smash Bros, Final Fantasy, etc

There is a pretty long post about the differences between tegra games and non-tegra games. Tegra "optimized" games are simply using nvidia texture compression method
Maybe I'm doing something wrong but when I go to the android market and try to install a tegra game in my sgs2, it says the mobile is incompatible and doesn't allow the installation process to go through.
Is there a way to circumvent this?
Thanks for any tips.

With those of you having trouble getting/running GTA 3 on your Note, I also had trouble running it.....Until now...
Like many others the game is no longer available in the market place & even when attempting to purchase it online I get the message ''no devices/your device is not supported''
I had to do things the hard way by manually looking for and installing the GTA 3 apk file.
When this was complete things got worse. When attempting to install the game data via wifi I got the following message ''Data download authorization error. Is the time on your device set correctly?"
Regardless of what I tried to do the message would continue.
Once again I had to mess about looking for the data files for GTA 3 to manually run the game without the need to download it via wifi.
I then downloaded the game data & copied it to my android/data folder.
When launching the game you will still be prompted to update. If you decline it the game closes, if you accept you get the above error about the time zone.
What I had to do was to press the back button on the note. The screen would then go black and stay black.
Lastly I pushed the home button, I did not close the game but went to my home screen (game was still running in the taskbar) I then open my task bar and press GTA 3. Bam, it now works!
Anyone have any questions?
I have a fixed APK though... deleted all my files and am trying to download and reinstall, will let you know if it works at this time
What a releif I had no problem installing GTA3..
It may be of interest to some that it plays completely smoothly when clocked at 800MHz, and very slightly choppy but totally playable at 500MHz.
Also, the only games I think anybody needs are GTA3, and Zelda OoT and Majora's mask - both run smoothly with N64oid, though the latter is more demanding. I found that MM was not playable until I bought setCPU (rooted etc.), but interestingly I can play it completely smoothly when clocked at 1000MHz.
But PLEASE has anyone had success with PS1 or NDS emulators? I find that when starting an emulation, both just show the controls but fail to load a game :/
