FPS on the captivate

Has anyone tried something like N.O.V.A. by gameloft and how was it? Looks good but im not sure if i want to buy it yet. Would really like a fuctioning BT controller first but im impatient lol

Dude, NOVA barely pushes the captivate to its potential. It runs full framerate, all the time, no lags. First-hand experience.
The iPhone 3gs can run it fine and we have a faster processor and twice the GPU and so does the droid.

i play that game. if you ever run into systox in multiplayer, beware!
lol yeah game looks delicious. i say its gonna be like a year b4 android apps start pushin this phone. especially with the overclock potential.

Thx for the feedback guys. Yeah I knew it would run great just wasnt sure if it was the game play was that great. I cant wait to see what games can take full advantage of our gfx. Ive read that its more than twice as fast as the 530 which I believe the 3gs has

All the gameloft games run super silky smooth. Although the games are super optimized for speed. The iPhone4 runs them just the same. I personally like the controls of NOVA better, but I like Sandstorm better as a game.
Under the whatever 3D test thats standard for these phones, it nearly doubles the rest of the phones on the market in FPS. Best part is that it seems to be quite damn efficient at it too!

How do you guys get N.O.V.A.?? I don't see it in the market.

From the gameloft website.

Thanks, I checked the website, but the browser doesn't let me see the full site....just some wapshop version of it. Anyway around this??

Yeah you have to view the gameloft website on a desktop/laptop. Not from the phone. Although you may have luck browsing the site from dolphin broswer hd, just change the default.mode from android to desktop in settings. Also when you buy the game, you can either buy the snapdragon version or the droid version. I've heard the snapdragon(evo, incredible) versions are crippled in graphics compared to the droid version.

It is a decent game and pretty fun. Controls are intuitive. Only complaint is that the monsters are too easy to kill even on hard.

Guess i need to go ahead and root my phone. They have the compatability for the vibrant listed on their site so its non-sense that they dont have it for the captivate

I'm guessing none of you guys purchased the game in order to try it out, especially considering the Gameloft website doesn't yet have AT&T listed for purchase of the game, much less the Captivate itself.
Why they don't support credit purchases is beyond me.

+1 I cant find them in the market?

As already stated in the thread, see the GameLoft websitegameloft.com/android-games/nova/?adid=101966

I checked the site out, when I go to buy it which carrier should I select? It only lists t-mo, vzw and sprint.

I bought NOVA and Dungeon Hunter from Gameloft, I picked tmobile and I9000 for the phone and gave it my number, and it plays both flawlessly, and looks great.

the thing with gameloft is interesting.
For example, Asphalt5 ...it works awesome on our phones but only up to version 3.1.3...any version after that and it is like is no longer using hardware mode...just not as smooth like running software mode.
I contacted them and they are going to "look" into it.
Good thing is that I got my refund immediately after I uninstall the program from google so thats cool but I do want to pay for the game though.

i have most of the gameloft games on my captivate and so far I'm very impressed they work great so far the games I have been playing a lot are hawx, dugeon hunter and N.O.V.A its crazy how far cell phone gaming has come....ps1 graphics on a cell phone

Angry Birds making me angry

Ive got a non-rooted android 2.1 Droid Eris. Ive downloaded the angry birds full APK to my phone, one from getjar and one from a mirror. They are both in my downloads folder on my SD card. Whenever i try to install either file, the phone says im out of space. I uninstalled and cleaned up alot of stuff. It seems i only have 31mb of free space but i dont think that would be a limitation. I dont know how big this damn game is but id think 30mb is enough. Why am i having this issue and how do i get about it? Im now less interested in playing the game and much more interested in not letting it defeat me haha.

One work around is to use apps2sd. That'll install it for sure. That's the only way I managed to install large games like this and Krazy Kart Racing.
Keep in mind Angry Birds is not fully compatible with mdpi devices. It'll install but you'll experience the dreaded white background/terrain as well as some lag on certain levels.
*Edit* Never mind. I see you're not rooted. Disregard.

Got it. Used appbrain and fast web installer and that did the trick.

Someone mentioned something about opengl es 2? Could we use that to boost performance of this game?

I dont have it on me. Do you have an android operated phone? If so you can just download it, copy to SD, and then plug it in. Oh, and what makes it even better is that you can just throw it on a USB jump drive and plug it right in.
Ah, this tab is beautiful.

I actually found 1.6 online, played it, it made me upgrade to 1.6.1, and then 1.6.1 force closes, im running TNT3.0, anyone else able to get it to work?

Pocket Legends is dead on android tablets since the new client release. As of late last night the devs still had not posted in any threads (I haven't checked their forums this morning yet).

yeah I had to do some serious bugging over there and went as far as compiling my own apk to get the tapjoy crap out and make 1.6.0 think it was 1.6.1.... thedevs yelled at me lol but the point was made regarding the need for speed when an update breaks support

Odd... this game doesn't show up in my market? When I do a search. I changed to the new market and is still unable to query the game. Angry birds pop-up though... so I'm hoping someone can help me out on this problem. I'm running VEGAn and the new market.

You're right! I bought it awhile ago and wasn't to impressed. I loaded up some roms and there is a significant improvement. Thanks for the heads up.
And it should be on the market. Its N64oid.

n64oid was available on the market for a short time and removed by the author for a few months while it undergoes improvements. It should be back soon, but it's not currently available.

Read that it should be up by late may so anytime soon

where/how are you guys getting ROMS for this and the playstation emulator?
i used to use what I believe was called Rom Finder (premium) but I believe it was removed from the market. and even upon side loading the SDK it tells me that I need the newest version to download ROMS. any suggestions for using this or a new source? I would prefer a direct app on the xoom to do this although i havent been able to find another one.

You just can search it on Google, and for the ROMS, in any web of ROMS and Emulator, just watch the end of the file "Example.N64". If there's no problem for some mods or something i can upalod the apk.
See ya!

I have this emulator and i use it with my xbox 360 controller. It works pretty good but i cant get it to recognize the l2 and r2 buttons. Other than tha is great.

are the analog sticks actually input in analog---that is to say, when you tilt the stick just a little, does your character walk slowly or whatever the case would be?

Mentions of pirated app stores removed. Lets keep talk of this off XDA, k?

I purchased the N64oid and had a backup on Titanium. I restored it and the app works fine but I can't open any of my game zips. To my knowledge N64oid doesn't need a BIOS right? I downloaded my ROMS from coolrom but they don't open. Any ideas. I'm dying for Mario Kart 64.

Make sure they are zip and not rar....but on a different note:
No one worry because sooner or N64oid will come back to the Market the dev is really trust worthy and responds to emails quickly.
P.S. - Sorry for this but if someone can, can they help me with http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1072807

They are .zip. This happens with the 3 different ROMs I have.

You are right no BIOS needed. I have Honeycomb 3.1 with the latest Tiamat Xoom 1.4.2 and it runs great. I had purchased this app before it was in the market. I had to reinstall N64oid when I updated to 3.1 since all my applications were cleared.
Since you purchased this legitly on the android market you shouldn't have to worry. Remove the Titanium Backup version. Go to the Android Market and your purchased apps and install from there. Even though its removed from market since you purchased it you should still have access to download it like I do. Hopefully it will start working for you then!

i'm more concerned about gensoid being taken down than n64oid coming back up. that emu definitely needed a few updates that we probably wont get.

It just automatically does. Can anyone else confirm this? Did you originally purchase on the Xoom or another device? Another way to tell is if you look at the web version of the marketplace it should be on your purchased list.

Unfortunately no. It thinks its the d pad so when you push the stick, its in all the way. Also you cant program the dpad and analog sticks differently.

Zenonia 3 issues

Everyone else getting a black screen then app closes when trying to launch this game?

I do. My kids hate GtabComb cuz of it
Sent from my Droid using XDA App

Hmm... tried clem/calk combo and cm7 and no luck either. Looks like its not working on many tablets right now. Heard that it works on xoom but it got no clerification weather it was a wifi only or had 3g. If it requires a network connection we might be out of luck.

Have the same issue on my CM7 gtablet. Checking the comments in market it seems it's because Zenonia 3 looks for an IMEI number. WIFI only so no IMEI, hence crash at start up.

If IMEI is required then the dev is out of the touch with android. I'm also seeing that they are trying to move to a pay to play system which is much harsher than games like shadow era or gun bros. In those games you can get ahead quick if you buy in but the top gear is purchasable with earned in game money. With Z3 you have to pay real cash just to get scrolls to identify item drops. Sux, I loved everything they have made so far and would have paid 3.99 for it(if it worked) just like I'd did with Z1 &Z2 when they came out.
