Has anyone got ANY Gameloft games to work on their GTab? I have heard of people getting HAWX or Asphalt 5 working but when I install those they only take up 3/4 of the screen and buttons and UI elements are all in the wrong positions, so therfore... I don't consider either of those as "working".
My phone is loaded with Gameloft games and I can't even get one working on the G Tablet.
I have Asphault 5 running perfectly on Calkulins ROM. I didn't do anything special to make it work.
This guy said he's running N.O.V.A. "perfectly" on his gTab. He says you have to download the versions of the games that are for the Motorola Atrix which also uses the Tegra 2 chip.

I'm in the same boat as you with about a half-dozen Gameloft games on my Droid X phone but when I try to sideload them to my gTab they either don't even install or if they install and start the shading is all sorts of wrong.

Which device did you select on the Gameloft site to get a working Asphalt 5?
these games are hit or miss for me. You need to make usre that you get the tegra versions of the games, in order for them to work. I've been able to get Hawx working, but that's all I've really tried. I've been looking for a version of Nova that will work, but all the one's I've found are the 3/4 misaligned ones. It appears that they are designed for 7" screens.

Same here. I just tried Atrix versions of NOVA, HAWX and Spiderman. All 3 were 3/4 of the screen with misaligned controls, just like Asphalt. Uninstalling them all.
I give up.
Im on Vegan v.7 and i got running:
Brothers In Arms 2 Global Front HD v3.1.9 for the LG P990 Optimus 2x
Dungeon Hunter HD v3.6.5 for the Acer IconiaTab A500
Eternal Legacy HD v1.0.0 - some graphical errors
Hero of Sparta HD v3.4.8 for the Google Nexus S - buttons are a bit off center but its full screen
NOVA v.3.5.6 for the LG P990 Optimus 2x
Modern Combat Sandstorm HD v3.0.8 for the LG P990 Optimus 2x
Tom Clancy's H.A.W.X HD v3.0.3 for the LG P990 Optimus 2x

I just downloaded it from the market. The game play is much better on the large screen tablet than on a phone.
I have the Atrix versions of HAWX and NOVA running on my Gtab with Vegan-Tab 5.1. Menus are not full screen, but not unusable and no shading issues. The gameplay itself is perfect. It also allows you to move the controls around how you like them in the settings on NOVA, and the HAWX display scales properly automatically. Both play silky-smooth and show off the Tegra 2 horsepower nicely.
No luck with Spiderman- quarter screen and controls won't respond.

So... these are pirated apps? I wish Gameloft would stop shooting themselves in the foot and just freaking sell legit versions of these games for our gTabs.

It (Asphalt) doesn't even show up in a Google Market search for me, only Amazon Market. I bought it and installed from there, and it didn't work...flickering, wrong size, many problems. They refunded me. I then tried one from a pirate site, and it didn't flicker, but was still misplaced. The bottom was cut off, and there was a white margin at the top. it was playable, but annoying.
Basic point, an official paid version was completely unplayable, but a pirated one was just annoyingly playable, so...to answer the previous post, yes, I've even tried pirated versions of most, but they won't play at all.
Hawx_3.2.8. works on my G tablet. Try it! All 10.1 inches, too.

Hmmmmm... LG Optimus you say? I'll give that a shot.
And to the person who asked if we're talking about Pirated games here... if you know how to use Gameloft's mobile site well, you can get huge discounts and free games.
Gameloft games are normally 5 bucks. Go to wap.gameloft.com on your GTab or phone. Scroll to the bottom. Change the country to Canada... all of a sudden all games are $2.50. Then scroll down again and look for the promo links... they're always there. Buy one get one free... All game's 99 cents... etc. The other day I spent 3 bucks and got 6 Gameloft games from the wap site. Don't see a game you want? Scroll to the bottom and change devices to fool the site into thinking you have a different phone.

You Canadians are lucky. It would appear requests from U.S. addresses are not feeling the love you describe. Each time I have tried to access the WAP Gameloft site I get a data connectivity error popup stating "The page contains too many server redirects". I've modified my UserAgent setting in my browser to try hitting the site as a desktop, an android device, and finally as an iPhone and as a desktop it loads the regular Gameloft site which is useless to me and the latter two settings gives me the same data connectivity error.
If I wanted these games on my gTab a bit more badly I may try a foreign vpn service as others have done to access sites like the BBC for content.
But for now, I have a crapload of games on my gTab already so I will keep waiting for Gameloft to officially start selling games for tablets with a Tegra 2 chip and not just for the Atrix phone.

Well, what I said is the gAme itself runs perfectly. The menu is off center and doesnt fill the entire screen but once u start playing everything fits full screen and has no issues at all. The atrix cersion worked for me like this on both vegan 5.1.1 and vegan ginger except that in ginger u have to skip the opening cinematic video as it stutters and runs like crap due to the lack of hardware acceleration. Because of that I went back to 5.1.1

not sure. Itried it too. Toward the end it asks for a phone number AND e-mail, not the option of one or the other. Since I don't have an android phone, I didn't know what to do.
Asphault 6 keeps force closing after skipping the intro. Asphault 5 is still working well, even went head to head with my budding on his ipad.
Okay after everyone's great feedback here I've managed to get the following to be installed perfectly on my GTab running Vegan 5.1.1:
WORKING:
----------------------------------------------
Asphalt 5 (v3.1.8 for the Samsung Galaxy Tab) - Runs flawlessly, fills whole screen
H.A.W.X (v3.2.8 for Samsung Galaxy Tab) - Fills whole screen, controls are perfect, drops a few environment textures here and there but very playable
Hero of Sparta (for LG Optimus 2x) Fills whole screen. Perfect except for block and attack buttons being placed close to center-screen. Regardless, gameplay is perfect.
Splinter Cell Conviction HD (v3.0.3 for LG Optimus 2x) Gameplay is flawless. Fills whole screen. Only loading screen is 3/4. Perfect gameplay
N.O.V.A HD (v3.5.6 for LG Optimus 2x) Flawless. When gameplay starts controls are closer to the center but you can customize button positioning in the options to make the layout perfect. Looks like it was made for tablets now!
Modern Combat 2: Black Pegasus HD (v3.0.3 for LG Optimus 2x) Flawless. Same issue with button position as NOVA and easily customized in options. This game runs amazingly on the GTab.
** NOT WORKING **:
----------------------------------------------
GT Racing Academy (for any phone) - Sometimes can't even download game content. Never got this to work.
Gangster: West Coast Hustle (tried Samsung Galaxy Tab version) - Installs fine, starts fine, fills whole screen but runs at like 3 frames per second and drops textures like mad. Unplayable.
Asphalt 6 (For LG Optimus 2x) - Installs fine, opening intro plays, game exits immediately
Spiderman Total Mayhem (For LG Optimus 2x) - Installs, but refused to download game content. Atrix version installs and downloads but game runs at 3/4 screen size and button hotspots are all off.
UNO HD (For LG Optimus 2x) - Installs fine, but game runs at 3/4 screen size. Button hot areas are off. Unplayable by my standards. Plus... it's UNO, who cares.
Avatar HD (For LG Optimus 2x) - Installs but refuses to download game content.
Thats the extent of my testing. It was worth it I guess, since I had ZERO working Gameloft titles on my GTab when I started, and now I have 6. Thanks to everyone who posted tips. In the end I found the best versions were Galaxy Tab and LG Optimus 2x. The Atrix games I tried installed and ran but didn't look as good as the Optimus 2x and Galaxy Tab options.
Let's Golf 2 works but does not fill up the whole screen. I'd say about 80% full screen, plenty big enough to enjoy the game.

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!

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.

It does work, you just have to press the screen off button when the game freezes at the first load image of the game, then turn screen back on and the game will have moved to the menu and you can play as normal.
But theres an update for Guerrilla Bob in the market today that specifically fixes this load issue on Tegra2 devices and the game now loads super fast and smooth.

Hi,
Does anyone know if it is possible to play Backstab and N.O.V.A with the LG Optimus Black? I got the versions that are compatible with the Motorola Droid X that has the same CPU and GPU (PowerVR), but the games begins, and give the intro movies and then I get a white screen, in the case of N.O.V.A, or a black screen in case of Backstab. Any ideas? Or it is not possible to play these games?
Thanks.
I think you got the wrong sddata, I've got the same problem with Avatar Game, but when I change the sddata from another source, I got the game running well...
But I get the SDData from the wi-fi connection.
I've tried both of the game in my OBlack, I've used the sddata for powerVR, both of it doesn't work, it still want to download the sddata, so I dont know how the game suppose to work in OBlack... or Anyone have tried and worked?
Finally I can play Backstab on OB. Used version 1.2.3 for SGS.

Same here, the 3D isn't very good, often times it has the images swapped so you have to tilt your phone to the side slightly to get a different angle that splits the correct images to the correct eyes and some of the cutscenes aren't even in 3D. This is an issue I've found with most of the Gameloft 3D games. Super shoddie ports. Shadow Guardian looks amazing though. I don't know why they got that game so right and the rest so wrong.
I have read in your gaming thread that many games are not compatible with galaxy note.As i am a gaming freak.itz the main reason i want to buy galaxy note.I want to know in future will this game compatibility issue will be taken care of?or will games be released compatible with the high resolution of note...plz help me...thanx in advance
Tintin from Gameloft
So far, a few games are not quite compatible with the Note, in the sense of looking too "soft" as they were not designed for the larger screen. The most notable fail for me is Adventures of Tintin in HD, which I was excited about seeing on a larger screen, as I purchased it when I owned the Galaxy S2. But the game is a different 2D version (horrible, ultra-pixelated 1980s game kind of look) on the Note. Subsequently, Gameloft prevented Note users from downloading the game but there's no refund. What a bummer, and certainly not an extremely pleasant experience dealing with the customer service, who sounded too matter of fact about it.
I suggest that you list the games that are critical to you, and some of us can help to check.

for me, gta3 ran when i downloaded over wifi, but not when i downloaded over 3g (probably due to crappy 3g in australia leading to corrupted files).
there are many different gta 3 versions on the market, there should be one for your area.
as for gameloft games, most dont really work too well. gameloft arent too great with their device support yet, but theyre not as bad as ea games.
Hey I also game a lot and I just got my galaxy note.
From the gameloft games, I am able to run (well):
- backstab
- asphalt 6
- brothers in arms 2 (there is a free version on the market)
- modern combat 3 (now available on the market)
What I am trying to run but can't:
- tintin (2d version...no way to get the normal one, I also copied the data over but nothing)
- 9mm - doesn't download the data: incompatible device
- shadow guardian : tried the galaxy tab version...data downloaded, gameloft logo than back to main screen
- rainbow six shadow guardian: the desire hd version i bought some time ago doesn't run. I am trying a samsung version now...downloading the data still don't know whether it will work
- let's golf 3: nothing...incompatible device. copying the data over doesn't help.
Other games:
- dead space: not on the market but you can find it and runs flawless
- shadowgun: no problems. available on the market
- shine runner : on the market
- riptide gp: same
- GTA 3 should run without problems...i still have to buy it, i have to finish some games before playing gta.
- sprinkle : flawless (no black bars on the sides)
- reckless racing
And of course some other minor games from the market...of course angry birds, cut the rope, apparatus and some others....but i am more interested in 'gameloft' games and unfortunately no game (apart from modern combat 3) is officially working. To get some to work you have to manually do everything...and not always work. That's why i am trying all the games (which I had bought and never played...what luck now they don't work on the new phone -_-) too see how many i can get to run.
Anyway in January gameloft should update most of the games and get them to run on the device. I am sure they are working on it.
So far every game I have has played perfectly on the note So no problems for me. But then again I don't play any of those games that you play. I'm a casual gamer (puzzles, word games, etc). I highly recommend the Note.
If any games don't run NOW, they probably will because all developers have to do is tweak their configurations.
good news for the original poster

thanks for the info guys
All the games I play kick ass on the Note..
Order&Chaos
Modern Combat 3
Death Rally (man this game is awesome)
