Please test these 3 games and let me know how they run - myTouch 3G, Magic Apps and Games

Hi!
I got a My touch 3G to replace the tilt 2 for my wife since she wanted to play some games I got in my Galaxy S.
I was not expecting miracles but I was hoping that it would be able to run games like Angry Birds, Crush The Castle and Blow Up at great speed but I need to say I am disappointed.
Angry Birds runs the best of the three and playable.
Blow Up is close to good but sometimes feel like its underwater or like watching the Bionic Man.
Crush the Castle is just horrible.
Is it because I am running Cyanogen 6 froyo?
Do you guys really only have about 30MB of free ram after booting?!
Thanks for helping...I am trying to decide if its worth an older ROM like Eclair or just sell this the tilt 2 and look for a Galaxy S and call it a day.
Regards

Did you went threw 'performance options' in cyanogenmod 6.0?
Try to enable "JIT".

In love with "JIT"

I did but did not notice any difference really.
Is it normal for this phone to only have 30MB RAM available after boot?

Yes, more RAM will be freed when you launch an application. You might see people recommending taskliller apps, but they really don't help at all, Android is already perfectly capable of managing running processes.

Raging Thunder 2 - Gaming on Android

Anybody played this game on the Vogue? It's AWESOME! lol...no really you should get it, ill post a vid soon, but imo I think it plays better than on other phone because of the d-pad, save the N1 and Droid. Single player is a bit laggy, but on multiplayer once your in the lead it's smooth sailing
Also I have a question, does our phone have a dedicated GPU?

GPU has worked on this phone for almost a year thanks to DZO. This only works in Android because HTC never released drivers and no one could ever firgure out how to do it for WinMo.
IMHO its what makes Android on the Vogue SO MUCH better than WinMo. Adroid would still be better than Windows but not by as much as with GPU

driving blows because of the dpad and no tilt support >.< but it is pretty cool
i have 60mb free on my nand, why is this game telling me it cant install, free up space? the apk is 19mb. raging thunder 1 works and looks great
when I download it it downloads then says installation unsuccessful
I've tried playing this on my Eris and it force closes all the time, so I would imagine it would be pretty tough to play on the Vogue.
i finally got it to work once i cleared data and istalled it first before installing any other apps. Otherwise it wanted more free space and wouldnt let me install. Single player lags but multipalyer runs pretty good. Raging thunder 1 runs fantastic though.
im running it on my diamond wiith the build of klinux with no probleme

psx4droid

just heard about it and am rather excited. has anyone tested it on the g1? is it even playable?
yes i installed psx4droid on Cm6 on G1 i tested crash bandicoot and it works but exstremly slow, sound is also very poor
but its G1 so what do you expect.
thoughts awesome havent tested any other games yet im thinking if i disable comp cache and enable swapper on my swap partition then it may be faster...??
oh yh i have the same phone with cy6 and amon ra with death spl
in step by step detail can someone please explain the process of getting the rom to work. i tried a file from doperoms and when i putin the correct bios and clicked on the twisted metal zip it open another folder and said there was nothing in the folder. can you please guide me in this. i been so fustrated tryna figure this outfor a while now lol any help is appreciated
Don't download off dope roms unless you know how to convert their psx roms to .ISO or .BIN. I use emu paradise forums as long as the roms are in those two formats you should be fine the only problem is even with swapper or linux swap you cant get enough memory for the games. They seem to run incredably slow and it makes it unplayable unless someone can get the linux swap only to work for psx4droid so it only gives that program the memory it needs then maybe it'll play like the moto droid does with psx4droid. Anyway good luck with getting it run well.
If any progress in getting this to run smooth on G1 PM me
Sad to say it but psx4droid is just a novelty on the G1. Ive tried tekken on down to a 2d game like Suikoden. It makes no difference wat you do. Even overclocked to 700 sumtin mhz with set cpu you only can get around 5 fps.
I got it running a lil faster than 5fps I'm not sure but I keep it at default. And also I disable the sound it gives it a boost. But I will do a video on youtube tonight or tomorrow. Jus search my username androidappman and you will see the video it won't be hard to find.

ok no prooblem im up and have one more ciggerette for the night lol so ill post it but im taking back what i said on it moving faster than about 5fps but again it could have been the game cause i had chosen silent hill but i heard ace combat was pretty smooth running as well as crash bandicoot but my issue is i wanna start a dropbox like sysytem to load all the converted games for others to have easy access to. but im a do the video about basically how to convert the game into the proper file type and do so in detail. so look out for me in the morning. p.s anyone get wit me on a site like dropbox so i can sign up and start uploading away with you all.
I also have CM6, and I tried this emulator out. Extremely slow, but seems to work. Needs a lot of optimizations, as I'm sure that the G1 can certainly emulate PSX full speed. How I know this? Cause I could on my Kaiser, with FPSCE. I was able to play Megaman 8 with sound with minimal slow down. Then again, I had to use Windows Mobile for FPSCE.
Considering the difference between the G1 and Kaiser CPU's are 128 Mhz, I really doubt it couldn't be done on the G1. Would like to also mention, on the Kaiser the 3D acceleration wasn't working either. So FPSCE had no help from the GPU.
My guess is that PSX4DROID uses the FPU that you'll find in many modern Android phones, but older phones like the G1 don't have one. They could probably optimize it to run at full speed on phones like the G1, but they would rather recommend getting a newer phone. Even though most PSX emulators for the PC requires a minimum of a 200 MHz chip, and our phones have a 528 Mhz chip.
Really wish more emulator developers would develop on the Android. As it is, it seems like Android only has one person working on emulators for the Android.

Have you tryed an overclock kernel? That may help with some lag. I've only played angry birds out of those and it runs great.
Sent from my T-Mobile myTouch 3G Slide using XDA App
It is already at 528mhz or so...I have seen some stuff about 700mhz kernels but I am not sure if that is for this phone
Ok tried out blow up and it ran great! I'm clocked at 844mhz on my phone and I'm using a 2.1 rom so if you overclock on a cm 2.2 rom then it should run like it does on your galaxy s check out the dev section and look at the dopio thread and scroll to the 3.1 kernels then everything should run smooth

sorry guys wrong forum mine is not the slide...my bad
Lol when I read it I assumed you meant the slide
Sent from my T-Mobile myTouch 3G Slide using XDA App
But the mytouch can be overclocked pretty high I was thinking 700s or close to 800 either way it will make the games a lot smoother

Yeah... I was wondering why the game was playing slow for him, blow up works perfectly for me with stock everything.

[Q] Angry Birds is too slow on my htc magic

It is installed on a class 4 sd card. Anyone has similar issue?
Try moving it to your internal memory. If it doesn't help, disable compcache and try again - and after taht if no luck yet, try clearing it's data.
I've not played it in a few weeks since I'm playing with ROMs.. But other people (@CM Forums) have said this helps them a bit.
The game is buggy itself, the phone is not a reason. I have the same Mytouch 3G, tried a lot of tweaks or methods described in different forums, but no effect, so the game is removed until a normal version comes out
There is an optimized version somewhere on the xda forums that gets rid of the ads and makes the game somewhat more playable on mytouch. It's being given out by Impaled.

The version Impaled dished out has ads again. The developer asked that he put them back in and he complied. I have the ad free version (b4 Impaled removed it) and my experience with it is the same: laggy and pretty much unplayable.
I think it has a lot to do with very little ram...
I downloaded the market gersion on my mytouch 1.2 and its laggy but playable.
But then again im using cm6.1, jit, comcache 18% and the vm heap size is 12m
also using ezterrys kernel with a 614 oc
Sent from my HTC Magic using XDA App
I managed to install the game in the internal memory, but still slow.
i am still on 1.3.5 and with 28 radio it is alot better. get adfree, all my ads are gone.
or better yet like i posted in another thread before. Theres a game called Panda Vs Ninja its literally like Angry birds but runs perfectly smooth! Same gameplay just different characters.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=848701
Pandas versus Ninjas plays the same as angry birds on my phone. Playable, but slows down during particle effects and heavy physics processing. I have to close everything and turn my clockrate up for it to play perfect.
it would be funny if someone "skinned" it with angry bird textures/sounds.

hmmm when i play it , it runs smoothly and barely slows down.
and yeah that would be pretty neat for someone to skin it hahaha
I'm very picky when it comes to running games and I will discard a game even if it has slight choppiness. PvN does run better than AB in the like that when it slows down it seems to go into a smooth slo-mo as oppose to AB going into choppy slo-mo, when there is a LOT of physics processing going on.
PvN is great on my MT3G 1.2 (rooted w/ Universal Androot and running CM6.1 RC1) and I actually prefer this over Angry Birds, mainly becuase I like the theme. But I would also download if there were an AB skin.
For me newest version (1.4.2)of Angry Birds laggs to much, version 1.3.5 is still the best one working

Bored so much... My next is WP7

I'm bored so much everyday something has broken.
With stock rom I can't play dungeon defenders with my PowerSGX 540
And with sucked balls iphone is smooth on this game.
With CM7 browser is laggy and stock kernel is so poor. Look fps in quadrant. F...k quadrant score but just look what a poor fps. After flashing glitch kernel dungeon defenders is so smooth but now it brings millions of bugs.
And now accelerometer doesn't work great it lags on CM7 or MIUI with all type of kernels. And these days are end of gingerbread. We still don't have a great gingerbread or froyo.
I have a great GPU chip great CPU chip I will put all of them into my somewhere. F...k samsung sorry for offtopic I bored so much.
Now CM9 will come with a big "0". Fix bugs fix bugs fix bugs ... And CM10 + a big 0 fix bugs fix bugs.
When can I use this sh*t?
My next phone will be a Windows Phone 7.5 or something. SGS FOR SALE.
LOL. 10 Chars.
Stupid thread, no one wants to know that u r buying a wp7. And if u wanted to sell your sgs then eBay is a better place then xda.
There is no cure for stupidity..
Before I commited myself to a 2 year contract, i researched which phone to buy for a full month. Consequently, i never moan, ***** or whinge like a little girl.
What did you do? Pull your phone out of a hat?

This guy has a point. I play with a phone, not games though. That's why Android is perfect phone for me
I am really wondering what games he is gonna play on Windows Phone !?
To those joking with OP...can you guys name one gingerbread firmware released by Samsung that is not laggy..buggy etc etc.
Well I'm using the following combination and it works like a charm!
ODEXED Stock JVR + CF-Root + Thunderbolt 1.9 60MB LMK + Arc Launcher 2.0.
I've got pretty high FPS in games and Quadrant scores are like 2400 - 2500.
Maybe you should try it? I'm playing 9mm wich is a 1.6GB game and works pretty good!
I don't play games that often in mobile,might try the above mentioned combo. I need a firmware that works,trusty alarm clock,etc.Samsung does not give a damn about the bugs on recent firmwares that's the reason i feel with the thread starter.

Just tried out Dungeon Defenders. Got real laggy the first time I played at wave 3 of the first level but I restarted and it ran perfect after that. Pretty fun game. Shame if I have to restart every time though as I usually only restart when I install new kernels and stuff or go for weeks of up time.
Big bottleneck with this phone is lack of RAM, and Dungeon Defenders wants a lot of it. It says 256 MB free required, well that's tough with 330-350 MB usable. I run Semaphore bigmem with 352 MB RAM (with stock JVT odexed) and I noticed after exiting the game that 205MB was free (in the 'manage applications' 'running' tab) and I'm guessing the game was using most of that. It's a very demanding app though, most run just fine. The only problems with RAM I've had previous to this is that if do lots of stuff Slacker in the background will get killed from time to time and that may have been due to LMK settings that I was using at the time.
SGS is a great phone but it would be even better if Samsung had given us 512MB usable RAM, then programs that need 250MB would run no sweat. Seems like 1GB of RAM is going to be required real soon for people that want to run the demanding games. My SGS has served me well but I'll be eyeing the new phones with 1GB in the new year. Shame because other than the RAM, and perhaps SD card speed but that is more of a want than a need, I could easily hold off until the following year.

Totally agreed. Flashing back to froyo now. For more ram.

For games playing, 2.2.1 is only choice.

Theres no need to bash someone like that. He's got a valid point in terms of games and the lags inspite of the superb hardware our phone has. After all this hardcore specs...gingerbread released by samsung is ****...yeah i know theres CM7...but come on...lets just talk about phone thats just out of the box...
i also just downgraded to froyo 2.2.1 jsd yesterday...its awesume for playing games......and i also applied supercharger script...i get lot of free ram.....
i had also tried jpk but jsd is awesume...
Well, every time I exit 9mm wich is a very demanding game, I get like 179 free ram. Also, the ARC launcher is very optimized to run on low ram (wich makes it lightweight) and doesn't redraw like TouchWiz 3 bull****.
I can't try Dungeon Defenders couse I'm out of internal SD storage all because I have a lot of games installed on my 8GB version xD.
Quadrant scores mean little to nothing in reality though.
Whole thread should change the topic to:
I'm very disappointed because I had no idea what I'm buying and what for I will use it.
well, for me riptide gp, dungeon defenders, shadowgun etc. run perfectly on jvt+doctorz rom v9+thunderbolt tweaks 1.9.1 50 lmk+loopy tweaks+semaphore kernel 1.8.2 at 1200mhz and they are like butter on 1300mhz. u can say my sgs has a bit of a better processor then most sgs out their. i get 4000 quad. easily with this combo. i am very satisfied with gingerbread and i believe windows phone 7 doesnt even these high graphic games so its just a waste of money to move on windows phone or even ios.
