Are you joking? Only about half of them were "3D". Most of them were even decent. Sure they aren't Modern Warfare 2 or whatever is popular these days, but IT'S ON A CELL PHONE.
Nice vid, gave me some more games to buy.

I wish Android would crank out some awesome RPG/2d platform games and make retro gaming huge again.
I emailed Hexage and they said they're looking into making a new game like that BUT NO OFFICIAL WORD YET
so Don't go off sayin' and spreadin'

RPG for Android
Baldur's Gate or any BioWare Infinity Engine games would be awesome. Or a remake of Fallout 1 or 2. Both projects have a open source following, aka Pocket Fallout and GemRB but none have pushed anything into the Android market.

great list, might just want to downgrade from my 10mb ram hack to play some of these 3d games =)

thanks you! i didnt know half of these games existed.

where I can find these games for free?
I get the need for speed and put this on app ...but I can run it

Great video!

like those are the best games..

RPG vs Runner games
Since most of users of this forums are development related people, and are at least a bit nerdy, no wonder that they would like some more RPG games, but real money are made not on guys like me and you but on housewifes, which want easy games with cute graphics like.

Best rom for playing games?

Hi,
I'm kind of dissatisfied with the speed of most popular custom roms when it comes to playing games.
Which rom do you use to play games using nes/snes emulators? Hopefully any of the 2.1 roms
Thanks,
Krystian
ps
I know this question falls between roms and games category, but since this is not dev question I decided to put it in here.

I have to agree with you. I use both Snesoid and Gameboid and at regular points games start to slow down.
I think it's a case of having to wait for better versions of the emulators since they're still pretty early in their development.
Either that, or wait until an official 2.1 HTC rom before we expect decent performance.

To be honest with you, I doubt this is emulators fault.
I was able to play with nesoid and play metal slug without any hiccups.
Now few seconds after the mission is on they start.
It definitely is rom "fault". There are speedier and slower roms out there.
Currently I am using Villain Rom 5.1, which seems to be a brilliant rom [it is so fast when it comes to htc sense it's unbelievable] and the slowdowns are far better than in MoDaCo 3.1 [which is great btw], however it still is far from perfect.
I might try to overclock the cpu and see how it goes.

I'm sure I read that overclocking the CPU won't work on the current roms. You can underclock when the screen is turned off for power saving.
However until the official 2.1 rom comes out from HTC we won't be able to overclock over the stock CPU clock.

For 3D games, go Legendroid 1.0.1
In my tests, it blows away any other ROM.

Thanks!
what kind of 3d games are we talking about?

Can the slide handle high end games?

Anyone tried playing the new gameloft games on this device? games like nova and asphalt 5?
I tried downloading the asphalt 5 demo off of the market place but it just says "my device is not supported" which is kinda crap..I wish there was a way for me to just play the damn thing to see how crappy it runs it.

I've been wondering that myself. I get the same thing when I try to enter in my device and I tried doing the SMS thing on their site but have yet to receive a text message.

I tried the same thing, I would imagine the slide could run it with how fast and smooth everything else is on this phone. I purchased super tumble and have been playing that lately, graphics look pretty nice in that game.

Installed the toonwarz demo, very chopy.

This is kinda odd cause the GPU benchmarks are really good. I wonder what is causing this

The n1 doesn't even run toon warz smoothly its choppy at the part when you come out of the cave it is smoother than the mytouch slide

i installed asphalt 5 but it wouldn't run, said something about not being compatible with this device.

Asphalt 3d runs very smooth on the slide, but asphalt 5 checks for device type and does not find the slide in its list so never runs.
I bet it would run just fine!

so is there any way to force it to play even though it doesn't suport it? by manually putting the files on there?

I installed ashphalt 5 on my slide and it plays fine but the game itself sucks.

Asphalt 5 would install but not play for me, said my device was not supported. U sure it was A5 and not A3?

Ok guys, I have a my touch slide and I simply love it until I got this device I was skeptical of trying a new mobile os been with windows forever, hate the iphone this os seems to be an improvement over both but cant wait for the MP7 os to arrive. Anyway I have tons of high end graphics games running flawlessly on my device including" Homerun battle 3D, Heavy Gunner,Raging Thunder 1 and 2, my fave is BackBreaker Football etc. no problems at all. the problem i have discovered is that Gameloft made the games Device specific. not that it wont run on this device the sight says its compatible but when u go to put your device type "HTC" it then only gives you one choice to select"Nexus 1" which it says is not compatible for the nexus 1. This device falls under the catagory of High end Android devices. bad thinking gameloft. anyway, checkout the games I just mentioned if u haven't already plenty of down time and break time enjoyment, and by the way all of these games i mentioned are online multiplayer compatible.

Asphalt checks the Build.prop probably, or screen resolution. I tried to install Hero of Sparta and it worked fine but didn't fit on the screen.

The MyTouch Slide is not a high end device. If you play Crysis on a computer at 800x600 with a Nvidia GT 240 you'll get a good frame rate. Play it at 1600x1200 and you'll get a bad frame rate. The same goes for the Slide, it runs at 480x320 while the Nexus runs at 800x480.
I do <3 the Slide though

works fine but sucks like the others said.
never have gotten other games to play tho, i do download them from 4shared tho cause im not paying the money for a one time use. but its downloads and doesnt go to a menu or nothing just is about to go then blacks out to home screen.
The phone it self is nice for intensive games. I mean could be greater but i was using the g1 so its a very big upgrade.

Everyone do yourself a favor and just use Gensoid or SNesoid and play full games that look good and are actually fun like Sonic, Mario, Paperboy ect. Why play crappy mobile games when you can play a full Sega or Nintendo game and just save it and load it as you please.

Psx4droid

So I got the psx emulator even though the slide probably isn't the best device to be running the app on. Tried a few of my fave games and the larger roms (like GT2) are slightly laggier then the smaller ones (like Spyro 2). This is probably normal due to size.
I know this is the first release so its not a well pollished app but how much better do you folks think its going to get for us slide users? And is this the same experience the rest of you are having?
Sent from my T-Mobile myTouch 3G Slide using XDA App

took the app from 4shared.com amd game won't load. buying it tommorow tho, but it shouldnt run horrid thinking it might run smooth actually, not a fan of how you have to get the roms but hey it ps1 on the go right?
Update: Looks like my Bios was the issue, but works fine now. Games are pretty laggy tried overclocking but not sure it worked out to well, need to try something else. only tried spyro playable but not normal game play like you'd want. Wish we had hummingbird in this! *drools over keyboard* If FF7-9 work good enough for me then. but maybe in the future once its more polished it could become better but playing fighter games or very actiony games maybe not "amazing". Price you must pay for owning a mid-range device.

the games are wayyyy too laggy for slide imho. i just stick with the good ol snes emulator.

I think its the emulator that needs some work because I have heard it runs crappy on the Evo too, but for a work in progress you have to admit that its pretty impressive to be able to load a PSX game onto your phone. I have tried a bunch of different ROMs and so far the only one that is playable is Resident Evil Directors Cut.

I just downloaded this, but I'm enjoying it. It's laggy, but I think the fact that it's even possible is amazing.
I've been watching the psx4droid wiki(can't post a link yet) and another forum. Just checking out to see people's experiences with certain games. I think most of the people that are sharing on the wiki have a bit more mhz than us, but it kind of gives me an idea which games will be ok to run.
I've got FF7 right now and it's definitely laggy, but playable. Sound a bit on the staticy side. Downloading Breath of Fire III, Xenogears and Resident Evil 2.
I'm reading the Resident Evils should be better since a lot of the graphics are pre-rendered and mainly the characters and npcs are 3D.
Running stock, btw. Holding out for 2.2 before determine if I'm going to root.
Also, Hello!

Unfortunately RE2 runs too slow but RE Directors Cut runs well enough to play and the sound isnt terrible. So far thats the best I can find, well Tetris Plus runs fine but there are better Tetris games you can play in the market.

Ah crud. Well I'll probably be trying more things to see what is great. I wasn't really too excited about RE2 anyways. I never really had a PSX, so I didn't play a lot of these games. Of course I could just do it on the PC now, but... well, I do enjoy the slide.

About halfway through disk one of Final Fantasy 7. The game runs perfect on Fenix 1.8 OCed to 844mhz. Zero lag. The only issue is the sound but I usually play it in public places anyway so it's not a deal breaker for me. Even bust out the WiiRemote for a controller sometimes at home

Paid games for htc magic

Hi,
I bought Real Football 2011 (not HD) and is not working on my Magic.
Instead, NFS Shift is working preety great, altought I can't drift.
So, if you know other games that can be bought and they work, write here.
The problem is that I saw that a lot of 2011 games are not working on Magic. If you played one that works let us know (do not link to any websites or warez).

Of course, Magic's GPU is bad ^^ . I think Magic cant play any 3d/HD game . Anyway, i played Zenonia 2 , Robo defense .

Yes, HD games arent for Magic. I bought FIFA 2010 and it works fine, only when are a lot of players in the box, it "slows down".

I assume you are using a mod, as otherwise I would say that anything that you can see on your phone in the market should certainly also be able to run on it.
But basically, anything that runs under OS 1.5 will work fine - Zenonia 2, Majesty, Hungry Shark, to name a few. I expect most 1.6 games would work well too - there's not much difference between the Hero and the Magic, hardware wise. Once you're into OS 2.0 games, though, you should be careful.

I use the official update, 2.2.1, and it works fine.
I want 3D games, like the ones I mentioned above, although it doesn't run very smooth.

Games like Speedx3d and Cut the rope runs good on the magic, try overlocking the cpu.
