Batman runs terrible on my nexus - Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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.

Yeah same. Used different kernels too. It's pretty much unplayable.

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....

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 ?

Heh... maybe

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.

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?

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?

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.

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

N64oid and Mupen64 performance

Hi guys
Over the past couple of days I have been testing emulators and have noticed that my nexus 7 can't seem to handle games that my desire HD could handle fine,the main culprits being banjo kazooie/tooie and donkey Kong 64
Has anyone else been struggling with these titles?
I am not rooted yet, would a root/deox/over clock help? Has anyone already tested this?
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app
Its the processor mate, both these apps work exactly the same on my HTC one x which exactly the same processor
Its annoying I know, I'm sure its just the case that it'll have to tweaked by the developer. Fingers crossed he does
Edit: as for rooting/custom ROMs Im using glazed jellybean and it does run slightly better on that
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 2
I thought so :/
Is it something like those apps don't have quad core support?
It is a shame, I think development has stopped on both of them
Are there any other n64 emulators?
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app
Tbh I'll be surprised if N64oid has even dual core support given how much better it worked on my old single core DHD
Sadly I don't know of any other N64 emus
Its a shame as virtually every ROM would probably work smoothly if it was designed for our CPUs. I mean fpse (ps emu) runs at 100fps for me on some games with graphics effects at maximum on both of my tegra 3 devices
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 2
Aww that sucks
Was looking forward to playing Banjo Kazooie again on my tablet
My last question is about overclocking, if these emulators don't have multi core support would overclocking help?
Or has anyone already overclocked and would mind testing this for me?
Sorry for posting this in the wrong place
Does anyone have any experience with over clocking and n64 emulators?
The tegras need special instructions to really be utilized. Have you tried forcing GPU acceleration in development options in settings.

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. :/

"and discussion thread" he is suggesting you ask how to fix MC4 performance in the MC4 thread.

Check out some custom kernels. I recommend trinity.
Overclock your GPU to 484 or 520 using Trinity or m kernel or any other kernel that support's GPU overclocking
is overclocking to that rate safe and how do i install kernerls
You flash them in the recovery.

I know this sounds simple, but make sure you have all other app closed when running high performance games. Always worked for me.

It seems you might cause yourself problems if you don't self educate.
You are not going to get PC type performance and graphics on an N7. But you can still have a great experience if you find out what your device can do. The N7 runs many games well. Some better than others. Tweaking is not always the solution.
Good luck

Modern Combat 4 Performance

Hi. Yesterday finally i can make this awsome game to run on my ouya.. But i feel this game not running well. I buy the moga pro controller but the game performance is not good. How i can get better performance of this game on ouya?
Sent from my SGH-I747M using xda app-developers app
I dont think that the game has been optimized for quad core yet. Never the less I know the 720p hack helped performance out.
I've been running this game on my nexus 7, which is running the same gpu, however the ouya os is not fully tweaked, when custom kernels and roms start to flourish, there will be more game compatibility and better performance
Sent from my HTC One using xda premium
You can download the Trickster Mod app from the Play store and set the governor to "performance" and it runs a lot smoother.
The game plays smooth on my Excite 7.7 and TF300. Both Tegra 3 devices.

Fpse open gl fix

If you are using the emulator fpse you have probably noticed the open gl performance is bad on this tablet (if similiar to the 10.1) To fix this download the open gl plugin through epsxe and transfer that one to fpse. I dont know why but it has MUCH better performance. Also how are emulators in general running for you guys

Haven't installed any yet, but I plan to do so this evening. I'll report back later. I own all the .emu emulators and SuperGNES...Oh, and PPSSPP...And FPSE...And NostalgiaNES.|
This made my husband very happy. Working well for him now. Thanks for the tip!

No problem. I was running fpse and epsxe and just kept noticing that open gl was much smoother and more stable on epsxe. So I figured what the heck maybe its the plugin and voila!! Fpse has better options and playability and with the epsxe plugin it runs incredibly well at high graphics. Ff7 looks awesome with very occasional lag (like when starting a battle)
