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?
Has anyone else had problems running Shadowgin on the tablet with gtacomb 3.3?
i just tried it on C+C rom, it runs but has graphic glitches. some objects and path graphics are missing, but otherwise it plays fines
Yep running flashback 10 and it wont dl game data past 25%. Same is happening on alot of HC phones/tablets. My friend is running a froyo rom on his gtab and he said it runs great.
I tried it on Flashback HC rom and it wouldnt work, i then tried it with C+C and it flows smooth except that alot of the background images are not there. I wish someone knew a fix for this. So in other words, the game is playable with C+C but alot of the graphics are missing.

I abandoned flashback and went back to mountain laurel and shadowgun runs perfectly without any glitches or missing graphics. This game is amazing! Best tegra 2 game yet! Also runs normal on brilliant corners.

Thanks for the info. i'll definetly try it on the mountain laurel rom.
Will not install past 25% on Gtabcomb 3.3. I think I've just about had it with the lack of a stable honeycomb rom on this tablet.
On Beasty and Clemsyn rom the game (version 1.0.2) can be installed without problems, but it's so f**king slow that there is no way to play to it.
I also think that some objects were missing, but I'm not sure because the gameplay was so slow that I couldn't even move around to confirm that.
Crashes on VEGAn 5.1.1
It installed fine and plays the cut scenes great but once the actual game starts and I start to move my player around and begin shooting my screen gets black for a few seconds and then the desktop appears without any of the icons/widgets on it and runs super sluggish until I reboot it. Sometimes it reboots itself but not always.
This 15 minute refund window sort of blows. Especially with games like this that you have to download additional content (250 MB for this one) that eats up that 15 minutes.
Tried it on CM7 and it crashed too. In fact, it didn't even get as far as when I ran it on VEGAn 5.1.1.
I was on gtabcomb 3.3, installation stopped after 25%, so downloaded sd data from external link but game always crashed upon loading after intro hd movie
then i tried tnt lite, game ws running fine but it had many glitches
then i installed mountain laurel, the game ran quite well and everything was perfect other than the fact that i cannot connect my external ps3 dualshock 3 to it
is there any way to connect it since the sixaxis controller app for gtablet is not able to connect my ds3 with gtablet, it was working fine with gtabcomb....
I tried it on Montain Lauren and I still have mising graphics. It sucks that even games developed for Tegra devices can' work well on our tablet.

That's what im running and I have no glitches or missing graphics. Im using the kernel that came with it. Did u put a different kernel on it? A couple times it ran choppy so I used the task manager and ended all tasks and then it ran smoothly.
im just gonna have to wait till someone updates my ROM.
Used Chainfire 3D with Plug-ins to make it work a bit
I have a gTab running VEGAn 5.1.1 and Shadowgun would crash/force-close/reboot my gTab as soon as gameplay would start. It would play fine for the cut scenes but as soon as the cut scene was finished and you were allowed to move your character around the game would quit.
I almost gave up on the game after I paid money for it but then read about this app in the Market called Chainfire 3D (there a free version and a paid version - the paid version is what I used to make this work). After I installed the free version first and then upgraded to the paid version and then installed the plug-ins (3 in all - I saved them to the root of my sdcard) and then went into the settings for it and selected Shadowgun in the list of Per-app OpenGL settings and unchecked the Use Default Settings and played around with the other settings to see if I could get this game to run. The ones I am using now are Reduce Texture Quality and Disable MapBuffer EMU.
After setting this up I was able to actually play a part of the first level without the game crashing. I've attached the plug-in files as they are a bit hard to find on the net (but you can find them via Google with a bit of luck).
Hopefully this helps some folks.
Update: here's a helpful link with instructions. http://brockhatfield.com/2011/11/01/tutorial-shadowgun-on-non-tegra/
Another Update: After messing with this for a while and actually trying to play through the first level I began to experience crashes and reboots again. So, I've sent the developers of both Chainfire 3D and Shadowgun and politely asked them for refunds. Hopefully they will agree.
I have no problems running it on mountain laurel but I know everyone has their own favorite rom. The only bad thing about chainfire is your losing out on some of the great HD & effects.
Success finally.

After reading your post I decided to make the leap from 1.1 bootloader ROMs to the 1.2 bootloader version ROM you mentioned. It was a real pain due to the fact that each time I installed the VTL Launcher my gTab crashed and force closed like crazy and wouldn't let me even get to the home screen.
I had to hard boot it each time (I tried this three times just to make sure that was the problem) and had to NVFlash to the original 1.1 bootloader rooted ROM and then using ClockworkMod I had to flash the latest stock version 3588 TnT Rom. This gave me the stock restore option which I then used to flash the latest Mountain Laurel ROM from Roebeet.
With Mountain Laurel I am able to play Shadowgun without any of the aforementioned issues and I didn't have to use any third-party apps like the Chainfire 3D app I mentioned in my earlier post. It's not as fast as VEGAn 5.1.1 but I guess we can't have everything.
Anyway, my only issue now is not being able to use the VTL Launcher with this ROM. I've read the posts on that other site I won't mention but I haven't had any luck. Every time I install VTL Launcher and restart my gTab it goes into force close mode and becomes unusable. I read that the ADW Launcher has the same issue with this ROM.
Aside from that problem I like this ROM. It runs everything I ran on VEGAn 5.1.1 and then some (Shadowgun).

Yeah, I love this tablet because it was one of the first out of the gate last year with the hardware that it comes with but I am with you on the frustration. Although I have to mention that I played the entire first level and I didn't notice any missing graphics. I am using the stock Mountain Laurel ROM without any custom CPU overclocking or modified kernels.
I already sold my other gTab and might finally decide to part with this one once I get a chance to play with the soon to be released Asus Transformer Prime with the quad-core chip.
Until then I still get plenty of use out of this one and I thank all of the modders, hackers, crackers, tweakers and coders that have put in all the effort and sharing the results they discovered and developed during the past year to make this tablet truly useful.
I´m new here, and i have a problem...
I have downloaded Shadowngun for my Sony Ericsson WT19i, and everything went well.
The main menu started up smotthly, and when I started a New Game for the first time, the intro showed. I watched the whole intro, and just when I was about to play, the game FORCE CLOSED for no reason! :<
Can ANYONE please help? I am dying to play it!
Anybody got gameboid working for D3? I have a gba-bios.bin and FireRed rom ready, but when I start up the rom, it automatically closes.
Gameboid runs perfect on my Droid 3. Although I don't play and therefore didn't try to load ANY Pokemon ROM.
Just tried to load Fire Red and it runs perfectly fine. Every GBA ROM that I tried to load runs fine on my Milestone 3 with Gameboid.
It's odd in the way it works. i had to download an extra file to get it to run(i just googled the issue) but it runs flawlessly now. i love the physical keyboard cause it's like playing on an old gameboy again try going in through your computer and making a separate folder for the games, and see if that helps any.
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.
i'm looking here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2116468
one of the demo videos shows a hp touchpad running snes fine
when i try some snes games (non-fx), it lags
i remember when i was running the an old version of retroarch (on of the version before it got removed from the play store) it was running snes no problems
now it even lags when overclocked kernel (cm9 - 1.5ghz)
i'm thinking it might be the settings (i've tried every snes core, same results)
if anything has encountered or know how to fix, post in this thread
