I noticed earlier this week that none of Gameloft's HD games were available on their website for the Captivate, so I e-mailed them today asking when they (specifically NOVA and Modern Combat) would be made available for our phone and here is the response I received:
"Hi!
Thank you for your interest in Gameloft games. Unfortunately, we currently do not have any plans to add those game to support your device. This may change in the future so please visit our Website periodically for the latest information at gameloft.com"
Does anyone know if I can just select that I am with Sprint on an EVO during the purchase and receive and run the games just fine? I am guessing yes but I wanted to double check before I spent the money to buy the games.
(My phone is rooted and I have enabled non-market apps.)
Try it. You won't.

what a dumb a customer service. all the new HD or 3D games from companies work on the Vibrant. I have tested each of these games mentioned below. Not only do they run, they run smoooooooooooooth.
Sandstorm
Nova
3D Heavy Gunner
Skies of Glory
Real Football 2010
Hocky 2010
Homerun 3D
Asphalt 5
Raging Thunder 2
I have asphalt runs great
I won't say how I got it but you can imagine
I figured since I have the same game for iphone that it was ok just this once

yep just select different phone that is supported, thats what I did. n.o.v.a runs great on my captivate. They need to get it together.saying a phone isn't supported when it runs the game better than the phones that are supported.lol
hmm gona have to try this out!
Asphalt and Nova work well
I have been playing Dungeon Hunter HD and it works great. Very smooth playback so far.
If you got to the website on your phone, atleast for me on the vibrant it will let you get some of the games. DO NOT get Hero of Sparta though because it causes Touchwiz to loop forever when you start up your phone.
Nova
Gangster
Assassins Creed
dungeon hunter
all worked fine for me though
Does it matter what phone you put in? I mean are they really different versions of the game? I'm assuming there's no variation, but...
For those of you getting these games on your Captivate, which phone are you putting in as the device when it asks you?
one warning here....Asphalt 5 is AWESOME but ONLY up to version 3.1.3. I am not sure what they did after that but they broke hardware acceleration.

I'm using 3.1.8 and it seems fine. Did it used to be even smoother? 3.1.8 seems smooth to me and it doesn't stutter or anything. Maybe they put a 30 fps cap or something?
It is a LOT smoother. Try finding 3.1.3 and then let me know. Yes 3.1.8 looks fine unless you have seen how much better it is with hardware acceleration.
I was hoping to make a video during the weekend and post it on youtube or something.
I have all these games and they run better on the galaxy S than the iPhone 4 or any other phone they're available for. This phone is so much more powerful and the absolutely stunning screen contrast knocks even the iPhone 4's screen when playing games.
do you have to be rooted? can i just buy it dl it from comp and sideload it using the wonder machine?
you should be able to do it without root. Btw it does matter which phone you pick, games are crippled for certain devices, forgot which ones. And uh, 3.1.8 asphalt is smooth as silk, give it a shot.
p.s. hows dungeon hunter hd? i looked at it but didnt know if it was worth the buy or not.

Um... I had 3.1.8 from the market. You may think it's smooth, as did I, but you won't truly see the light until you switch to 3.1.3.

Yeah mate, try 3.1.3 and then let us know if it really looks that smooth anymore? You will be VERY surprised at how smooth it can really be.
Unfortunately there is little hope gameloft will fix it but I contacted them anyway.
gtg465x glad to read you tried 3.1.3

I have Asphalt 3.1.3. I can't get Nitrous to work most of the time. The button lights when I hit it, but Nitrous doesn't fire. On a random occasion, it does fire. Anyone else having this issue? I do have a screen protector on.

I don't think the vogue is gonna be able to run this very well.
aww..
I was hoping to see some magic..
I guess it's too much for our good old Vogue...?
Are you running SD or nand? Nand is much more likely to work.

ive been testing this all day with different settings, games, and overclocks. Our phone just isnt good enough for this. Ive tried gran turismo, mortal kombat, tekken, nfs ect... Nothing is good enough performance wise to play. Ill stick with my epsxe for pc. Works great.
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
Okay, I might just be bringing up old news, but seriously who doesn't want old school games on our tablets?
So here goes.. I am taking a flight overseas and need something to do besides movies, music, and angry birds on my 2hr+4hr+8hr flights to get to my destination.
Does anyone know of an emulator for N64? There was one for a short period of time on the market: N64oid by good ol' yongzh. Are there others? Do I just have to wait patiently, hoping for the day N64oid will return to the market?
Now I am not worried about the legal stuff, as I still own three or four games I plan playing on my trip.
Did anyone even try N64oid on the Gtab/Roms while it was out?
Final thoughts: Games I want to play (what were your fav's?)
-Zelda(s)
-Banjo Kazooie
-Starfox
-Mario Kart =D
-Goldeneye
-Turok (<---dare I even say?)
It worked great on my gtab.
I played Ocarina of Time, Starfox, Mario 64 and kart without any issues. Don't forget to bring a wiimote for your trip!
Will game pads work with n64oid. I just played golden eye and it was a pain trying to play by tapping the touch buttons. Still awesome to play golden eye on my gtab!
Roms4droid . Com
Has all of the good 64 roms. I just played golden eye. They have turok, Zelda. Anything you can think of. I downloaded the n64oid emulator v 2.4.4. Not sure if it's on that site but I google it.
I still have the n64oid emulator, but it really isn't playable until they fix it up.
I looked and worked great, however the ROM would crash periodically (every 5-10 minutes). This was very inconvenient so I will just wait until the new n64oid version is released.
Sure seems to work fine for me. Using Vegan 5.1 and pershoots kernel. I use wiimote and have a dock out to my Sony Bravia. Have not tried a ton of games yet, but all in all, it works. Anyone tried the Pcie emulator?

I'm not sure what my problem is then. It depends on the game I guess. MarioKart 64 never crashes, but Ocarina of Time crashed to the select ROM screen as soon as I entered the Deku Tree.
But xmr405o said he didn't have issues with Ocarina of Time, so I'm not sure what the issue is.

That kind of random instability is the reason why it was removed from the market in the first place. There were a flood of 1-star ratings from people with issues like yourself.
Yeah I figured that's why they removed it. It puzzles me how people are running it with no issues though.

What version of the n64oid are u running? There were issues with ocarina before but the last one he put out fixed most of the issues. No issues with the deku tree is all good. It might be the rom too.
the dev told me that he plans on putting it back in the market once fixes are made. funny thing about those 1 star reviews is that he did say in the description that it may not work well on all devices and only some games will work. i have no problem playing Mario 64 on either my nook or my gtab tho the wiimote is prefered than touchscreen. had it on my epic and only got like three games to work. mario 64, zelda orciana, and i believe starfox. the dev is amazing tho and i'm sure he will get things all worked out soon.
if looking for some old school gaming check out his other emulators
What was that latest n4oid version?
I have been putzing around with N64oid version 1.3 and Zelda: Ocarina... it works, mostly. If anyone knows of another version or another emulator app, I could sure use it. I don't know if it's my TnT 4.4 and I just need to upgrade, or if it's the N64oid itself.
Thought I would bump this thread. All of Yongzh's emulators got pulled from the market today and he made the full versions of all of them available for free (EDIT: except N64oid) download on Slide Me. This includes N64oid. I just got it running on my gTab and its beyond awesome.
Here is the link to Yongzh's profile on Slide Me, all of the emulators can be found here:
https://slideme.org/user/yongzh
EDIT: Just checked slide me again and its not free anymore. All the other emulators are but n64oid is $0.30. Oh well.
I just got psx4droid working on my epic on Sunday. Then I switch to nexus and see around that the psx4droid app doesn't work on gingerbread. Upset. I got like 15 games on my phone. Before I download. Does fpse work on gingerbread?
Or is there something else?
Thanks.
Yes FPSE is better than psx4droid and he got very good performance
Sorry for my english
FPSE is much better than psx4droid. Highly recommended.
Psx4droid ran fine on my Nexus running 2.3.3. Just make sure you're downloading the latest version. I actually found it to outperform Fpse out of the box when playing Final Fantasy 7. I guess it really depends on the game.
Well after having some market troubles with the authorizing purchase loop for 3 hours finally got fpse. Works great. Love it.
Psx4droid didn't worm for me on 2.3.4. I thought I had the newest update I dont have it anymore to confirm. I got it straight fom the site.
Psx4droid works fine for me, make sure you're using good bios files, maybe try downloading another bios file and see if that fixes things. Roms run without a quirk as well!
Do you know how to adjust the sensetivity of the controlls? There's no over shoot for the buttons and sometimes it doesn't register the press. Very annoying.
