Succesfully Sideloaded Apps/Games - M.O.J.O. General

I recieved my MOJO on Jan 3rd, and like all of you I was pretty let down by the amount of Play Store compatible games. Anyways, I've spent hours sideloading games as directed by MadCatz until more games become available. Honestly I've had little luck but I figured I post a thread here where we can share our experiences. The way I've been doing it is backing up my APK's with Titanium, then moving the APK and .obb files over to the MOJO - Installing the APK first, then moving the .obb file(s) before opening it. Keep in mind I own all of these games, I haven't been using a 3rd party to rip the games from the net so I can't tell you if that works.
Successful Apps:
Chaos Rings
Chaos Rings Omega
Blood Sword THD
I've also been trying to use Aptoide now, but haven't gotten any other games to work through that.
The only other games I've tried so far with no avail are:
Modern Combat 4 (Actually loads, Controller Somewhat works but missing some key controls in Gamesmart mode which make it unplayable)
Asphalt 8: Airborne (License Check Fail)
Final Fantasy III (Requires Further Download, Closes)
Chrono Trigger (Requires Further Download, Closes)
Asphalt 7
EDIT:
Having some luck with aptoide, all working great with full controller support! So far here are some successful ones I've gotten to work:
Shadowgun
Expendable Rearmed
Dungeon Hunter 4
ARMA Tactics
Dead on Arrival 2

How to Play Your Favorite Retro Video Games Right on Your Samsung Galaxy Note 2

Mod edit: Links removed
I grew up on SNES. Super Mario, Final Fight, and Contra were just a few of my favorites, and most of my collection is still intact—all I have to do is reach under my bed and pull out all my old games. As proof, I present my original Donkey Kong Country cartridge
Now that I'm older, I don't have as much time to play my SNES as I used to. Hell, I barely have time to play my Xbox. Most of the games I play these days are on my Note 2, but no mobile game can compare to those classics collecting dust in my room.
The solution? A happy medium—I found a way to play my SNES games on my Note 2.
Through a site called, you can download all your favorite SNES games. All you have to do is head over to the site (directly from your Note 2) and click on the download box next to your game of choice.
Note: You will need to make sure your device can install third-party applications. To enable them, go to Settings -> Security -> Unknown Sources.
The game will be saved as an APK file, which can then be installed and opened with no other applications or emulators required. Each game has a built-in joystick and buttons, so you can play it with the same controls you would use on your SNES.
I've played through several games and it works pretty well. All of the functionality is there, but you have to wait until you can save the game to exit, or else all of your hard work will be gone and you'll have to start from scratch.
has hundreds of games to choose from, so head on over and find your old favorites!

APPS and Games not working on OUYA what version do I Need?

So when I got my Ouya first thing i Installed was Astro File Manager (which isnt very Gamepad friendly). With Astro I installed, Dead Trigger THD, Sonic Ep.2 THD, Riptide GP THD, Amazon app store, GBA.Emu, and File Manger HD. None of the THD Games work. I got them from my Asus Transformer Prime. The THD apks worked on my Prime but not on my OUYA (most wont even start up, Riptide freezes at title). The Amazon app store and GBA.emu work great, but File Manager wont even start up either.
I mentioning this apps/games because others on XDA/Ouya Forums seem to have them working.
What versions are you using and did you install them differently??
Please let me know. Thanks
Also are any Gameloft games working on the Ouya?
Open Source File Explorer (Game Pad Friendly): http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=39772628
For emulation Retro Arch: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.retroarch&hl=en
As for THD or Gameloft games I doubt any of those will be working anytime soon with out any heavy modification

Actually they're dozen of posts/threads where people have most THD (Tegra HD) games working. Ouya being a tegra 3 device should allow the ones that have controller mapping abilities and that aren't connect to the play store work.
I'm just asking if those people can share what versions of the game apk their using.
Thx

What emulators do you guys use?

I tried out mupen64 and it was pretty good, bit buggy. PPSSPP was alright. Retroarch crashes for me with Lolirock. Just wondering what you guys use to play games on it.
Been using paid version of Mupen with an original XBOX controller.. worked beautifully
Quickly tested Retroarch and worked fine for SNES games, hopefully it will be updated so it shows up on the main screen
Using stock rooted 5.1.1 Android TV on Nexus Player
snes9x and mupan, both work well. I am hopeful that someone writes a nice EMU interface for AndroidTV, that rivals my friends RetroPI.
For the Shield, I'm using FPse for Android, which has been great to be honest. I love the fact that it also looks for the game images too. Even able to use multiplayer with Crash Team Racing and two controllers.
Np
Hi, I use fpse for ps1 games, works very good. Md.emu as has the best controller setup I can find for multiplayer use and speccy. All in the game store official now
Has anyone been able to install dolphin emulator yet?
I cant i think Its because Its developed for arm64 and our device is x64?
Ps i tried Some apks without success from here: https://buildbot.dolphin-emu.org/builders/release-android
M.A.M.E.
Anyone have any luck running mame emulator on nexus player? I havent had Much luck. When I use Mame4droid most of the roms will load with a black screen but i can hear the audio. This one works on most of my other android devices.
thanks..........
The .emu emulators by Robert Broglia are the best ones available for older systems like the NES, GBC and GBA along with SNES9X EX+. For the Sony PlayStation and PSP, I recommend ePSXe and PPSSPP.
What about Sega Genesis/CD/32X stuff?
MD.emu, which is also developed by Robert Broglia, emulates the Sega consoles quite well.
Dreamcast emulator " reicast " works now on x86 systems and of course on Nexus Player. Nexus Player gamepad was recognized. You must use the debug build of this app, not the outdated Play Store app.
https://forums.dolphin-emu.org/Thread-why-there-isn-t-the-x86-64-recompiler-in-dolphin-mobile
This should be an explanation why dolphin (wii and gamecube) doesnt work on our device yet
Ps what version of ppsspp Do you guys use? I can launch it but when i start a game it doesnt work. (and what games Do work?)
Hi there how did you get this to work,been trying for days with no luck.what emulator and files did you use and where you downloaded it from,thanks
Hey guys, I have robert's emulators on my nexus player , but I'm getting bad scrolling, more so on the nes and snes, not so bad on the sega side of things. The sound hick-ups randomly on the nes emulator, is anyone else having this? I didn't have this problem with the ouya which is less powered? Just wondering is it a Marsh mellow problem etc?

List of Android games (+ sideload) on ShieldTV

I am looking for a place to see the list of all android games (+ sideload) working on this nVidia Shield TV. Is there any site or place to see this list?
So I tried some games Angry Birds Go & Table Top Racing and it seems I cant get to play those without mouse. :crying: Any other options out there?
you could install droidmote and play those games with the shield remote if you like
Better is you install the Full Android Rom and you can act with the shield like a normal PC. No need for sideload and with DroidMote or Bluetooth Mouse everything should work
then you need mouse and keyboard
For playing games a mouse is good and you can also use the controller tethered to the mobile or buy a 3rd party controller
nobody has answered to your question, and unfortunately I can't either.
as I'm looking for an answer myself.
some gamepad games will work sideloaded, some wont.
I reckon we should start building a list here.
I start with
Portal
Half life 2
Never Alone - sideloaded (amazing game!)
Riptide GP 2 Sideloaded
Star Wars Knights of the old Republic
(Tried but failed, could be my apks though)
Breakneck - white screen after starting
Injustice Gods among us - black screen, crashes the shield
That's the only you can do by try and error. When I will get my TV back from repair I will also test some games and report here
Never alone, works great sideloaded
Thanks for list mate.
freemulator is compiling a list on the games that work via emulator.

thanks dario14 from Dolphin forums.

What games work well in wet Mad Catz?

I have tried many but few have worked for me. So far I have tried these
- Fifa 2005: The download and install but sends me run the desktop.
- Real footbal 2003: Puts does not work in my country.
- Six guns: is not compatible with mojo Mad Catz
For now I only work Ouya games and mmo game.
Can you give google play games that juegaís you?
A greeting.
Hi,
First question, did you root your MoJo? That should help you access more content on the Playstore.
Second, please refer to this page on Mad catz website. These games are 100% compatible with your CTLR. No need to root to play these games.
