Have a read of this story over at Android And Me
Basically they're all ports of the iPhone games which are designed for PowerVXR graphics chips only present in the DROID, most are unplayable or run like crap even on Snapdragon devices.

Can x10 supports Games like iphone

Can x10 supports games like iphone? Cuz it is as fast as iphone 4 and I just played angry birds beta for android . It was amazing graphics. So howcome android doesn't have more games like that with good graphics?

It can mostly but people just don't make it. Gameloft games are all HQ but only about half is supported because of no MT. Some other HQ games:
-ExZeus
-Guns'n'Glory
-Gameboid?
-Monopoly Classic HD
-Radiant?
-SketchWars
-Speed Forge 3D
-Zenonia
Thats about all that I know of

Most gameloft games work in our X10, they made different versions without MT so we can play them, i know these:
-Hero of Sparta
-Hawx
-Let's Golf
-Dungeon Hunter
-Asphalt 5
Other great hd 3d games that also work are:
-Need for speed : shift
-Sims 3
Other less known but good 3d games that work are:
-SpeedX 3D
-Raging thunder 2
-Armagedon squaddron
-Light racer 3D
And if you like 2d games, try out:
-Buka
-Radiant
-Abduction
-Space Physic

[Q] Anyone tryied Gameloft Games?

Anyone tryied Gameloft Games on Folio 100, did they work fine?
Thanks,
bastospn

tested ashalt,letsgolf old editions, asphalt 50/50 letsgolf messed up gfx..
all new HD editions not compatible..(at least the 4 i tried)

The main reason for that is probably texture compression.
We have two mayjor GPU brands on Android these days Qualcomm (Adreno) and PowerVR, both use proprietary texture compression algorithms, which are not supported on Nvidia chipsets.
Simply compare the OpenGL extensions for HTC Desire HD (Adreno), Samsung Galaxy S (PowerVR) with the Folio.
However as many Tegra tablets are anounced (and at leaste the Xoom will get some attention I think) this should change in the future.

Today I did a test with avatar. Result blank screen and back to the desk .jj

I download Earthworm Jim and is working fine!

I have graphic's problems with Gangstar West Coast.
Any solution?

I'm playing Dungeon Hunter with no problems.
Great game

I read somewhere that Nvidia has been talking to Gameloft so they will support Tegra 2. So perhaps we will see more Gameloft games supporting the platform in the near future.

they just need to make it official, so expect something around 24th feb. when XOOM gets out in US, then gameloft probably will follow quickly and we get our tegra2 games, and the tegra online games app from nvidia to help us locate them.

I saw a demo of dungeon hunter on a phone and a tablet (tegra 2 platform) and it look very nice. I only hope it have android froyo 2.2 support.
I own an ipod touch (last generation, the one with camera) and the game is awesome, imagine that with tegra .
Nvidia Tegra 2 sure need some games...

Yes I'm sure. It says "Dungeon Hunter". And it's about a guy that returns from dead and fight monsters in dungeons ...

Sure it is You are a lucky guy... do you mind to share how do you get it?

hey i wanna know how did u get it, too
actually, i tried the Dungeon Hunter 2 as well as the Sacred Odyssey, both of them cannot run...just closed after a blan screen.....

[Q] HD Games on Folio

Hi,
I'm looking for some HD games for Folio and I besides Dungeon and turbofly I couldn't get any to work. I'm specially looking for something like Dungeon Hunter, or Diablo, hack'n'slash I mean.
Do you know any HD game, beside this two, that will run on Folio?
Gameloft as incridible HD games but none works on Folio, because tegra2 texture compression is not supported.
This is a disapointment, as I expect that tegra 2 from nvidia had better game support and afterall it end up being one of must poorly supported platform in terms of games.
We no longer can say that tegra 2 is in its early days, almost 3 months have past since the launch and no support was added. Any new nvidia drivers to fix this issues with gameloft games. Any other publisher with HD games that run on folio.
I heard so much talking about how easy is to port the games from other platforms to tegra, but haven't seen any to this date? What's wrong with tegra?
Don't publishers like money?

Dude, have you tried Dungeon Defenders: First Wave ???
Imho this is the 1st proper game that supports Tegra 2 and runs like a candy on our Folio !!!
http://dungeondefenders.com

Yes I try it! Is a great game indeed. One think I love in this game are the graphics, but gameplay is not as good as one could expect.
I recently found a Beta version of robot defence and I must say it's awesome. Some animations are still poor but as I said is only a early stage demo of the game.
The lack of content for tegra 2 tablets is really a pain! Good games will make this things sell like hot cookies... but I guess google and nvidia are waitting to the last moment to make content available. Too sad though

I did find another great game, this time a shooter airattack HD

What is that game called like?
Maybe we should make a 'games' topic, with in the first post a list with all perfect working game titles for our folio's

Airattack HD lite. I get it also in my ipod touch and it's a must for those who want to kill some time! Beautiful graphics, not full 3D but quite good
I will re-edit #1 post on this thread as soon I get some more games to work.
Some new games, and also some old ones are getting HD graphics. Tegra Zone will be launched soon, probably tomorrow.
Tegra 2 may result in a big fiasco if they don't launch exclusive games and apps... It's the first time I see a thing like this: launching a platform with no software, no games, nothing...
Nvidia should be more carefull. A5 from apple is on its way, samsung will have dual core soon, intel already has...

the game works, at LOGO screen press "HOME" once, and then "BACK" and menu appear..
same bug is seen on ElocityA7 , so its a nvidia bug in graphics driver for now..

Take a look at hexage games like buka hd or radiant hd. Really Nice and addictive, runs smoothly but not so kickass graphics like 3d or explosions.....
I'm also interested in a Hd gale topic.

Yes they are quite fine, not my kind of game though. If you have a Tegra 2 and 512 Megabytes of RAM, you will expect better. I could show this guys the kind of game that I had in my old Intel Pentium 1,3 Ghz, with no GPU by the way. So much power for nothing. A4 from Apple will not even stand against Tegra 2, but if you see the graphics...

I saw backbreaker running on a folio 100 on youtube, but when I run it (1.3d, now clean 1.4), the geraphics are pretty messed up?

The Samurai II: Vengeance was just released specifically for Tegra 2 devices.

direct Market link here
Ok, market website fault.. seems the game is actually Tegra2 only!
poor support from Google's website, only showing non-tegra2 devices, when its actually tegra2 ONLY!
you need this View attachment build.zip (download attachment) to actually find it on the market, and buy/install it.
copy the build.prop (inside zip) to your /system folder and reboot.
and you find it.

is it just me or?
Why does the recently released games looks like Amiga500 from 1990?
Samurai II and Monster madness has cartoon like graphics which pretty much were fashion back in 90s when its was too hard to do better graphics and the no GPU were not capable of handling it.
is Tegra2 not better than a 90's cpu?
or should 3d games seen on other mobiles just wait, until Nvidia fixes the OpenGL ES issues, so its better supported, because its not just a port issue, its also the work tegra2 GL seems to be designed since games are still "2D"..
Thats just a thought...maybe you havent seen Amiga500 games, but they looks almost better sometimes

You are right! Some of this games are 2d only... But they are good enough to be played again and again, because they are fun. Most iPad and iPhone are just 2d because the game engine is more simple and the dev time is faster

Games running slow

hi there, i have a rooted Samsung Galaxy 3 as most of you too.
here's the thing, i've rooted my phone, installed 3d chainfire and updated all of my drivers (of chainfire that is) installed setcpu and set it on perfromance base on 1300MHz. after that i thought to myself well a everything is done i can start downloading games now, i first downloaded PES 2011 and felt really excited when it booted and expected some good gaming and fun when traveling but when i started the game it was just horrid...the game is running approximately at 20% of it's usual game speed which kills it off entirely it feels like i'm playing the game with VSync enabled all the time.
So i was hoping if i could get some feedback from you guys to inform me what i did/am doing wrong or to give your impressions on the way things are shaping up for you.
thx in advance.

Hi
Did you tried different configurations specific to the game?
Did you installed plugins?
well, different games needs different configurations and each of them works good with a specific plugin.
Here is some examples:
For Nfs Shift you only need to select "Reduce texture quality and Qualcomm plugin.
For Modern Combat: Sandstorm you have to select both "Reduce texture quality" and "Reduce texture size" and choose Qualcomm plugin.
So the best way to play a lag free game is to try different settings.
Good Luck

trust me i've installed the plugins and have all 3 updated to the newest version i have tested all possible configurations and plugins even reducing texture and size settings still i can't get the game to run at more then 20-30% of it's potential...it's kinda sad as i saw that many of you are playing games smoothly on the SG3

Try using on of g3mod OC bus kernels.

em, could you please provide a link (with possible explanations) as i'm kinda new to this stuff, i got my SG3 a few months back and never had an android before.

this topic Must be very useful to you:
[How to]Play "HD" games on SG3 (NOVA, Shift, Asphalt5, AC, PES11 and more!)

PES 2011 working slow on every G3. You can't do anything with that but games like Nova, Nfs Shift and many others working great. You can try Psx emulator also, Fpse is the best I think and then you can play with psx games like Tekken 3, Gran Turismo, Civilization or Mortal Kombat.

So, overclocked processor even to 1300 Mhz doesn't provide performance in 3D games. (Neocore benchmark @ 667 Mhz - 13 FPS, Neocore benchmark @ 1200 Mhz - 14 FPS). Practically zero growth in performance of 3D.
Fpse emulator? The same situation. gran Turismo (time trial, only Your car on the track - 30-42 FPS - playable) Gran turismo (race, 6 cars - slow, not playable)
I5800 is not for games and emulation.

well, G3 is not good for 3D games, that's just how it is. There are awesome 2d games for android though. Refraction, rope cut, mx mayhem-a bit slow but fun and playable, angry birds all run fine. believe me if you had high end 3d games on g3 they would become boring in a week. better to just stick to your pc or console for real games
