I took the ones from data\app on my phone and placed them in system\app on my Nook Color and changed the permissions. After a reboot, I can find them in the launcher, but when I press on them they close instantly.
Has anyone gotten any of these games to work?
I've gotten Dungeon Hunter to work really well just by installing it normally...
Of course I'm fully rooted with market and everything.

Yes, I've had some success with gameloft, I posted in another thread, "apps that work....I think" But it has grown to twenty something pages, and games are not addressed specifically.
Loaded and working on my NC, (these came from my SCaptivate froyo 2.2)
Working
*Gangster
*Hawx
*NOVA
*Sandstorm (need to stop game and then resume to clear up horizontal black bar)
Not working (for me) Assassin's Creed/Uno/Let's Golf
It is an aspect ratio issue, the controls are offset and don't work correctly.
*Assassin's Creed, is the only one I've tested that responds the same way as yours (paul22000), loads then closes.
I've seen, in another thread (not the one referenced above) that Asphalt 5 works, if I remember correctly they used a tablet version. They explained how to get the correct download and it seemed well thought out, but I have not tried it myself.
Asphalt 5 (tab version) and UNO (tab version) work without a hitch.
Nova, Hero of Sparta, & Dungeon Hunter all work for me.
"HD" versions of spider man and dungeon hunter works great.
I have the following working:
NOVA
Dungeon Hunter
Asphalt 5
Dungeon Hunter works perfectly. Hero of Sparta works but the controls are offset, as someone else reported. Basically the hand controls appear where they would if the screen were WVGA instead of WSVGA. I was able to install both normally on my rooted NC.
How are you guys downloading these games?
I only have the two free games they gave out for the month of December.

NOVA 3.1.3 (galaxy tab version) crashes as soon as I open it. Any solutions?
I installed Dungeon Hunter HD and Asphalt 5 3.1.3.0 and it tells me i need more space on my sd card.
My sd card is formatted for the NC root. Obviously, my NC has been rooted already, can i re-format my sd card for more space? or do i need to leave the sd image alone? I don't know if the nook boots from the sd or what.
Can I re-format my SD without encountering problems on the NC?

Yes, you can reformat. And just so you know, this question has been asked like a billion times.
The Galaxy Tab versions Dungeon Hunter and Asphalt 5 DO work here (I haven't purchased any others to test). The only obvious issue I've had with them is that the MP4s for the Intros and Cutscenes don't play, so be aware of this. Didn't see this mentioned already, so I thought I'd put it out there.
The reason for this is the 1024x600 resolution (not baseline profile) of these video files. I ran the LOGO.mp4 of Asphalt 5 through handbrake and after that the NC's built in video app was able to play it. However, Asphalt doesn't like the replacement file and asks to re-download the original.
While the intro isn't all that important, it was just a test to see if it could be replaced. Perhaps it can't because of some checksum, etc? Hopefully not too much (of import) is missed by the games just skipping over these files that the NC can't play.
I remember being able to play Asphalt HD on my NC on 1/13/10. Asphalt would simply skip over the (unplayable 1024x600) cutscene video and continue to the game itself. But since I installed that the latest update the game displays a dialog message saying "sorry could not play this file" before shutting it's self down.
So I tried resizing the cutscene video with Dvdcatalyst to 854x480 and uploading the cropped file to the nook color. But when I launched Asphalt I got the same message that epakrat75 got asking me to download 22 megabytes. Which ultimately replace the cropped cutscene with the original but unplayable cutscene.
Sad thing is I know that the game plays well on the nook color because I was able to do so only a few days ago. If only I could find a way to get the game to skip the cutscene without crashing.
Sent from my Rooted Nook Color
So far I've played every gameloft game on the nook color (galaxy tab versions) only asphalt, modern combat, Spiderman, uno, ad modern combat work. Every other game (gangstar, Nova, etc.) Cranes out on the video or gets really fidgety with the popular notification so you can't get past it. But Ive Berenice having lots of fun with modern combat and Spiderman recently.

I tried to buy Gangstar Miami for samsung to install on my Nook, but I get this:
Sorry, Gangstar: Miami Vindication HD is not available for your phone at the moment. from the Gameloft website.
How the hell do you get without paying. I've try a few from google but once installed I get this is not an orignal copy of the Gangstar Miami, then Sandstorm, and dungeon hunter displays the same message.
Can someone PM a good like for gangstar? Thanks.
I've had similar luck as the others above with the galaxy tab versions. I was able to get spiderman, dungeon hunter and uno working, but after the sdcard data downloads everything works, until i quit the game and try again, then it won't work...
Anyone have any successes with gameloft games?

Is there any way I can get asphalt 5 working on the slide? My sister has a g2 and she has the game and its my favorite android game yet, but the slides screen isn't the right size or something to play it. Is there some way I can play it?

Not really, sorry bud. You can mess with the pixel density on your phone a bit to try to get it to fit, but it'll never be perfect. You can find it in build.prop and just push.
Tried changing density but couldnt get it to work, one thing about changing density that I thought was weird is that the rom manager app's icon changes. Its so wierd lol!
The game makers are too lazy to make a lower res one, only asphalt 3 was made for our res. here are racing games that work on the Slide:
-NFS shift
-reckless racing
-raging thunder 1/2
The Answer to your problems
hey dude i have a LOT of games (HD) working on my slide! just go to this site and download freely! None of these are viruses i have downloaded the vast majority of them, played them, and can verify functionality! word of caution, though, i STRONGLY recommend you have either a Froyo or Sense rom with data2ext (i use 3rd Sense Rom in the devs forums) becuz for some odd reason, CyanogenMod will not run them. for example, on Sims 3, i tried running it, and it would show the little EA logo w/ the (sims) diamond above it, and just exit to the homescreen! no force close message or anything! but anyways the games on this site were resized to HVGA (mytouch slide sized) screens and, like i sed, fully functioning! all you need is a mouse and a web browser that translates the page (i.e. Internet Explorer, Google Chrome, etc.) have fun with your new games
I tried Quake and Toonwarz, but couldn't get them to work correctly (control error in Quake, nothing happening in Toonwarz). Are there any FPS games that work? My son's birthday is Saturday and I would like to give him his gift with at least one FPS game in addition to the other cool stuff that's there...
The PSX emu works and I've played a few games on there.
Other than that, I haven't tried any FPS games.
Does NOVA work?

Most of the Gameloft games work, but only via black market outlets, and/or from various devices Moto Sholes, Tab. Ive tested Nova, Brothers in Arms 2, Modern Combat, Asphalt, Need For Speed (wow!), Hawx, Dungeon Hunter...
All work for the most part with minimal cut screen glitches where scale issues show.
Did you do anything special to get dungeon hunter to work?
Mine just keeps fc'ing on me. I transferred and installed the apk from my copy on Droid 2 (which I got during the free day). What else do I need to do?

I couldn't get Let's Golf to open for me.
Most Droid or Tab versions of games seem to be working mostly for the NC.. Just played Madden 11 demo (off Droid X game dl). Not too shabby of a game.
Thanks, guys! I'll get cracking, then.
Dark area works
Is it possible to download apk's directly to the NC sd card or internal memory from the browser? I don't see any settings that allow you to choose a download destination.
Also how do you clear browser history? No options for this in default browser.
I use Firefox for Android, and I think it's possible there.
Quick question...
Are the games that came pre loaded demos or full games?.
When I load them up, it comes up with buy the full version... thought they were full games?.
They're just demos...
Can someone please post the apk‘s from the “Pre Loaded App“ for both games?.
I bought both games from Gamelofts website, instead of upgrading in-game and having problems now with Spiderman installing where by it asks to download the additional data, I click Yes but says “A Error Has Occurred And The Download Could Not Be Competed Successfully. Do You Want To Restart The Download?“
When you click YES, It says the same thing again. Tried alsorts including formatting both SD Card and Handset.
Emailed Gameloft but haven't heard anything...
Anybody got any ideas or had a problem with another game?.
Have you enabled wifi? I have had no problems installing any games. These are the ones that work fine for me:
Samurai 2
HW Solitare
Shadow Guardian
NOVA 3.5.6 (earlier versions give me white screen)
PES 2011 ver 1.04
Modern combat 2
Gangster
Hero of sparta
hawx
Sandstorm
uno
Asphalt 5
fishing kings
lets golf
dungeon defenders
These I cannot get to work
The Settlers (give white screen but can see menu)
Dungeon Hunter 1 (goes back to home screen)
Dungeon Hunter 2 (loads movie then when loading menu - goes back to home screen)
Asphalt 6 (goes back to home screen, after playing movie)
Asphalt 6 works Ok for me...
I was at my home address with WiFi... Searched on google and people do have the same problem with other games/other handsets.

So as the title states, I'm trying to take advantage of some of the killer deals being offered in the "new" Google Play Store. I downloaded Dead Space, Shadowgun, NOVA 2 and a few others.
The issue I seem to be having are with the more "graphically" intensive games, like the ones I previously mentioned, fully installing and or running on the device.
I suspect that the apps believe I'm using an iPad but I know others have been able to run these games from their Androidified Touchpad.
Was just curious if anyone knows a workaround or a solution on getting these games to install and/or run properly?
Thank You

No, the apps in the app store will never think your device is an iPad. Apps might look at the device's build.prop to determined compatibility. There is a modded build.prop you can download that changes the device to trick the market and apps that you're running a compatible device.
Samsung Captivate CM9 - Glitch Kernel | HP TouchPad CM9 - Bricked Kernel
Yeah, it's definitely not thinking you're on an iPad. However, it may be kind of similar since there is no official Android Touchpad, we have to mimic other devices. You may want to try the "rohan" update in the Dev section as it modifies parts of your build.prop. I was able to Shadowgun to download and start up. I still had problems with Dead Space, and havent' tried the Gameloft games yet.
I can confirm Dead space does NOT work with Rohan build prop on cm9 alpha 2. ShadowGun works great, its the best mobile game I've played, looks like gears of war on xbox360!!
I haven't been able to get any of the EA games to install (download additional files after market install). Tried with and without rohan mod. Nova 2 and Shadowgun work fine. Nova 2 was a kinda buggy
I also downloaded SHADOWGUN, NOVA 2, and DEAD SPACE. Shadowgun works fine on stock CM9 with no mods to build.prop...I tried to edit my build.prop and ended up having to restore a backup. if it does not work on CM9 i am thinking of loading my CM7 backup and editing the build.prop in there then update to CM9 with the games installed....dunno if it will work but might be worth a shot.
went off this link:
http://rootzwiki.com/topic/7709-gameloft-compatibility-thread-with-working-version-s/
Edit:
CM7 with build.prop set to HTC Desire S allowed all GAMELOFT games to install and function (backstab, nova 2, and 9mm all work fine) DEADSPACE requires a 3g connection so i dont know how to get that going at all....
did HTC Desire S from info off this site:
http://www.everythingabouttablets.net/2012/01/02/get-asphalt-6-hd-running-on-your-cm7-touchpad/
I too can't get Dead Space to download the game data. I changed my build prop to 3 different devices, and nothing works. Bummer, I really wanted to play this game.
Funny that dead space works perfectly for me on cm9 a2. Guess I might have been lucky..

Dead space works fine on my stock tp running cm9 nightly 3/3 or 3/4
I finally got Dead Space working on mine. No matter what build.prop I would change it to, it would not download the game data. So I downloaded the data with my evo3d and then transferred it over. Working perfectly now.
TDKR:
When I install, don't even the app goes on, it just closes and come back to app drawer, I've tried on and offline, with and without data and with and without tb files
TASP:
I tried with Spider Man now, this one installs and everything, just don't launch the game, and I tried to post some screens, but all that happens in this case is just this, the game installs, the android/obb/*obb files* and android/data/com.gameloft.blahblahblah*sd data uncompressed by the game* are there, then I press ok, then, doesn't matter with or without internet on, the screen turns black or shows that animation in screenshot2
Sometimes it says "checking license" and closes the game, sometimes it says "this games requires 1 mb to run on your device" I choose yes and then, again, "checking license and force close"
---
I didn't put Flight Mode in Spider Man nor Asphalt 7, but in TDKR yeah
the most strange is that games like Shrek Karting, Asphalt 6, Asphat 5, Eternal Legacy, Total Recall and Avatar (it force close during the game when doing a lot of movements at the same time, if you guys could also help..) runs perfectly, only those 'new games' that don't
I've tried -Amazing Spider Man, Asphalt 7 and Batman TDKR- really a lot of apks and datas, and also tried downloading by wi-fi
don't know what else to do
And no, I can't buy this game cuz in gameloft.com says that the game isn't compatible with my device, but how can't it be compatible with my OB?? This games runs untill in low-ends devices qvga like Galaxy 5 and Optimus Me
ps.: after I had installed the game I move it to sd card, is that a problem? I mean, is it wrong?
ps2.: In attachment, some screens about what happens in TASM installation, like, when I launch the game with the app*screen 1* and after this chinese message, stuck on this *screen 2*
ps3.: I'm running FOP's ICS CM9 Nightly 6
im running the same as you and the game works smoothly ,, clear the data from app manger and uninstall the app , reinstall it on phone and copy the data again and make sure the path is right cuz it works smoothly on mine
Gameloft games doesn't work on FOP ICS or any rom based on that.Install Zeus and it will work.I bought Asphalt 7 and Nova 3 and they don't work on ICS(on official ics it will work flawless)
That version that you show it's a cracked one , but you can buy asphalt 7 with 1$ form google market.Nova 3 was 1$ too today :
