Anyone tried gaming on this phone? - Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)

I wonder how well riptide gp performs on the snapdragon s4 with Adreno 225. Something is wrong with the GS3 international version. It's very choppy when there are other jetskis on screen.

Even in race mode? Have you tried dead space? Thanks for the quick reply.

I'm also quite curious, will get around to testing it out soon

Downloaded riptide today, the graphics were top notch and no lag at all...also you guys should check out Dead Trigger its really sweet.

I've played numerous race in Riptide and all were super smooth. I haven't tried dead space yet.

Tried Shadow Gun and Front Line Commando both very good with excellent gfx.

Lol this thing SEEMS to destroy my tegra 3 tablet in gaming. Ultra smooth

That's good to hear. Now if only there's a way to test the actual fps in a game. I doubt the Egypt off screen benchmarks that reviews trend to use paints an accurate picture of gaming performance. The Adreno 225 performs poorly in off screen test compared to Tegra 3 and Mali400.

Is Nova 3 compatible yet? Btw do games look better on the screen with more pixels ? or about the same as before? Jw since I do not have the phone yet >_<!

Nova3 is awesome on this phone! Super nice graphics. Looked weird on my Atrix4g but silky smooth on the GS3LTE
Also tested Mass Effect Infiltrator with fantastic results.

Downloaded the new Dead Trigger today. Works well with my sixaxis PS3 controller and the game runs like butter! Crazy graphics that rival the ps Vita. Seriously.

Riptide works super smooth... However Dead Space isn't working... It installs but crashes after 20 seconds of the game... Unless someone knows a workaround?

How do you connect this games with a ps3 controller

Is there evidence of added visuals? I wonder if running through Chainfire will add anything to the game.

Batman runs terrible on my nexus

Just purchased the game and for my surprise it is running really bad here. Low fps and laggy as hell.
I have been researching and it seems that tegra 3 has some issues with games from gameloft.
Anyone else tried and had problems like this ? I am trying to find a solution for this but so far no luck.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda premium
Yeah same. Used different kernels too. It's pretty much unplayable.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app
Forgot to say that I am using motley kernel. If the problem is with tegra maybe it possible to emulate some other api....
Well...back on looking for a solution....
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda premium
The PowerVR / Adreno 2xx / Mali chips do really well with Gameloft games. I guess nVidia needs to increase their market share before Gameloft shows them any love. My phone is using the Adreno 205 chip, and plays some games better than my Tegra device(which sucks).
If i am not mistaken Chainfire had an app to emulate tegra drives on mali so we could run games like shadowgun.
Maybe the opposite could be done either ?

Let me try that ChainFire3D, and report back, because I'd like to think this was 25 cents wasted hahaha
*edit* DO NOT flash ChainFire3D. It sent my tablet into bootloops and had to restore a nandroid. Little bug with this phone won't let you go into recovery from bootloader without it being plugged in.
id say its your setup, its running very smooth here, and lag free. do you have force gpu rendering enabled in the main device settings, developer options? rasbean jelly rom with the latest trinity kernel.
Same here runs great, using paranoid android 2.17 and montley kernel 1.1.1 gpu 484.
Runs horribly for me too. Stock kernel and XenonHD,no over clock. Laggy as hell.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 2
Runs laggy here too on rasbeanjelly stock kernal, Franco kernal seemed to have slightly better performance buts dissapointing that gameloft is having us resort to using custom roms/kernals just to get almost decent performance in there games, back on tegra 2 gameloft games were extremely smoove what happened here?
Sent from my HTC One S using xda app-developers app
It seems to be a miss and hit scenario, some report it playable and some report unplayable. Suppose everyone has a different outlook on playable, anyway, Gameloft games aren't optimised for Tegra 3. As leelaa pointed out they only use 1 core, which is pretty annoying. Also this should be in Themes & Apps section?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus, if I helped hit thanks.
batman runs fine here..non-rooted..very mild lag sumtimes..but playable..i have complain bout asphalt 7...low gfx..terrible frame rate...

You are correct they aren't optimized yet, if they were you would see all the HD titles on the wapstore, and there's actually none on there other than the simple free games that they have, but hopefully that changes soon

Ran fine on rooted stock when I bought it a while back. Pretty graphics but it's more like watching a movie with predictive actions. After a few tries got bored and uninstalled it.
I'm on stock unrooted and it works perfectly. Very smooth.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk 2
mine lags... almost unplayable.
Could it be possible that some 'variants' of Nexus 7 runs fine?
Let s try to discover what are the settings of those who runs it smooth and copy it.
I will begin to test it here.

I disabled the force gpu under developer and it got way way better. Now it is playable. My nexus frooze while playing. I will increase the voltage and how it works.
Nice...i will keep testing

n64 app: mupen64plus AE

anyone tried running nintendo64 rom emulator? i tried that n64 app: mupen64plus AE
with killerinstinct2GOLD game zip rom and it still lags! i guess 2gb ram doesn't cut it
or it might be just the app that makes it laggy(music choppy, screen flickers)
No, it's probably not a phone problem, but the app just sucks.
I recommend N64oid (google it) and sideload the app. It worked flawlessly on my old Flipside, which is a single core 720MHz and 512mb RAM.

Mupen64Plus, AE clearly states it's unstable and in beta. The dev has lots of other things going on in his life, so development has been very slow recently. Over time, it should eventually surpass N64oid (seeing as N64oid's likely been abandoned), though N64oid is currently much faster and more stable (as it was developed for much longer).
N64oid is pretty decent. I ran mario cart 64 with no lag on my captivate. As far as Mupen64plus goes, as previously stated, its still under development. A sloow, loongg and haard development.

Sry. I dont have the cappy anymore, gave it to my brother. But I did run few games on it, when I had it, like mario cart 64, star fox 64, golden eye 007 and donkey kong 64, all of them ran with little or no lag on the cappy. I would assume the N4, with its S4 Pro and the 320 gpu would be able to handle that with no problem. As far as having issues with certain roms, it could just be the rom itself. Also on the cappy, I played pokemon fire red, using gameboid, and I had 2 different roms for the same game and one of them did run better then the other. ....killerinstinct....nostalgia. good times. :highfive:
I tried playing Smash Bros on it and some characters were missing eyes, such as Mario and Yoshi..
Also the screen flickers quite a bit, messed with some of the settings a bit but it wouldn't solve it. :/

'Free'. It makes you pay to get your stuff right away, or you can wait anywhere from 4 minutes to over 1 day. And many of the better upgrades require the same premium currency as skipping wait times. And some of the cars, too. I love it, though, and there are ways to enjoy it.
I saw a hack so you don't have to wait which is what assume you mean by other ways to enjoy it lol.

Asphalt 7 used to work amazingly well with this tablet. The last update ruined it. Instead of enhancing the graphics, the developers have really screwed them up. Plus there are frequent lags while racing.
You can get N.O.V.A 3 or Dead Trigger if you like FPS. Both work well with the six-axis controller app.

Glad to know I'm not the only one who has degraded performance after A7's last update.
Well I just played nova 3 for the first time and its amazing. Haven't tried it with the six axis app yet but looks like it'll work fine with it. Thanks for the suggestions :thumbup:
Edit: downloaded vector as well and its alright. Not very much to it but a fun time killer. But nova 3 is awesome I can't believe I haven't played it before:screwy:

BEat Hazard is a blast on the touch screen. Also great is Super Hexagon.
I really liked Plants vs Zombies, Ninja Village and Magicka. Raiden Legacy is also a game you can pick up anytime to play.

I don't own many PSP games but it looks like they work alright.
There were a few sound glitches on a few (this probably has more to do with emulator quality). But the phone smashes through the frames. You even get a decent amount of speed up.
