I was thinking about getting the Streak from Staples but mainly just for gaming, would all of you recommend it for gaming only?
I would love to get a Asus TF but for 1/2 the price and i only want to game with it, the streak seems perfect.
What do you think?
If you're never to far from a power plug, it's really no different than any other portable gaming console but with more features.
Do most market games run pretty decent on the streak, i was wondering also?

Every one I've played runs fantastically; especially the Tegra Zone games, of course (not because they run any better, but because they're ususally a higher quality in terms of graphics and frame rate).
Basically, you can expect the S7 to run everything from the Market as well as any of the top dogs out there because they all run the Tegra 2 processor (XOOM, ASUS Transformer, Galaxy Tab 10.1, Atrix, G2X, etc.).

Thanks for the info, you pretty much made up my mind to get one now.
Also anybody recommend any particular custom ROMS for just gaming by chance as well?
use strekdroid 1.3 for gaming you can overclock it. Just know that gameloft doesnt support the dell streak 7 sucks but you can get most of there games to work just use tegra based games i have 21 gameloft games on my streak all work perfect also if you root it you can use chainfire to get more games to work that dont support tegra chip set like Madden

I second StreakDroid 1.3, but be advised it doesn't support bluetooth, so no Wiimote+classic if you're using emulators. Honestly, though, you ought to be fine on stock. Just replace the homescreen.

i guess you can say i steal them but i have bought over 20 games from gameloft for my other phones so if they dont support it what am i to do.chainfire 3d emulates other chipsets so you can play games made for powervr and anderno on your tegra device

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!

so is there any way to force it to play even though it doesn't suport it? by manually putting the files on there?
I installed ashphalt 5 on my slide and it plays fine but the game itself sucks.
Asphalt 5 would install but not play for me, said my device was not supported. U sure it was A5 and not A3?

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.
we know that there is a psx4droid emulator for playstation games to be played on android phones, but do you think the samsung galaxy s devices possess enough cpu/gpu power to play some ps2 games?

I do believe they have the power to process ps2 games, but have fun getting an emulator to run the games correctly.
It would be fun to use a ps3 dualshock via bluetooth with mah phone
General Forums.
Can sony even have proper playback compatabiltiy with ps2 games on the ps3 with out the emotion engine? u answer that and solve the problem sony might even higher u for their next firmware release
Sorry, but probably will never happen. Ok, I know ya have gpu, and cortex and blahblah, but ps2 games needs a completely different environment to run. One of my friends has got a 2GHz Intel dualcore cpu with gpu video card and they even run laggy. Just to let you know
No. The psx4droid is running older games and it can just barely be playable on some phones. You would have to a) write the best emulator ever in the world or just wait until the hardware is fast enough for it

Unfortunately the lag comes from coding not hardware so you would really just need a team.of devs. Your better off hoping for well developed mobile games lol. The quake 3 port was cool though. I wonder if more of that can happen
No offense, but that is a slowass comp lol.

While the SGX540 is a great GPU for a mobile device, it's still not a 16 pipeline part with 48GB/s memory bandwidth. The SGX540 has a max memory bandwidth of 4.2GB/s with only 4 pipelines. Memory bandwidth aside, I'm sure that it could handle PS2 games in some respect... though even then it would still stutter pretty bad. Memory bandwidth kills the idea.
ah, i see. thanks for putting that into perspective. I guess that it will take time for technology to develop even further on these phones
I do not think that we will ever see PS2 emulated in software on a Galaxy S Phone. The PS2 has one of the most difficult setups to emulate with multiple processors running in tandem at different frequencies. Even the PS3 had to have some or all of the chips on board in order to have the ability to run PS3 games. Once Sony decided to remove those chips as a cost cutting measure, bye bye backwards compatibility. If Sony can't do it, what makes you think a bunch of hackers can.
That would be awesome, but batter life would last for about 8 min...
Curious to know what games work well and which ones are worth getting for this Gtab to take advantage of the Tegra Processor. Anybody got a list they would recommend? Also if it matters on which ROM. I'm using CM7.
You can use the TegraZone app to find Tegra optimized games. Riptide GP and Bang Bang Racing THD both work well for me; however, I uninstalled Bang Bang Racing because it wasn't the greatest game (Raging Thunder 2 is a better car racing game even though it's not Tegra optimized). Also, here's a similar thread with other people's suggestions and experiences: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1034168.
try looking on Tegrazone...games made specifically for our boards
All games from Tegrazone work on the G Tab as far as I can tell. I have Samurai Vengeance II and Riptide... both work flawlessly.
Samurai II works great, and Dungeon Defenders is awesome if you have a TON of time to invest in it. It takes a solid half hour or more to beat a level, and as far as I can tell, you can't save mid-level, so make sure you don't have anything else going on.
Anyone know how to up the graphics in Modern Combat 4 like on the HOX? I tried the apk modder but it's meant for the One X so naturally it didn't work. I've seen people on YouTube with Nexus 7s playing on highest settings, anyway we can too?
CM10.1

Nexus 7 has it automatically because it is "optimized" for Tegra. I am looking for the same thing on my Nexus 10 which is how I ended up here. LOL I am going to dig through the files and see if I can copy the settings over to my n10, when I have some luck I will let you know. After dealing with these nVidia optimizations in PC games for the last 10 years I can tell you that it is not hardware specific.
I tried it on my p5113 on highest.
Also on medium
Completely unplayable :s
MC4
i have it running very nicely on my sungsonic 4.1.2.there is no optimization needed here,it runs nice and smooth

Because Gameloft thinks your device is high end. I have a GS3(US) and they still see it as not powerful enough.
At least include a graphics slider gameloft.

Dedicated gaming and that's it? I can tell you that any game I have played it's smooth fps, but if I were getting a tablet for gaming I'd probabally go with the nvidia shield tablet. But if you plan to watch movies and stuff there is no denying the screen on this baby is the best bar none.

The tab S gets hot alot when playing graphical games. Keep that in mind. So when it gets hot, the cpu and gpu throttle down and lose performance..

Yes, you will be OK with K1. It will support all those games.
You may also consider buying an iPad. It may be a better choice for gaming if you like ios.

I have the Nexus 9, the Shield Tablet and the Tab S 8.4. If you want a tablet for gaming the Shield is far and away your best choice. Make sure you get a good size micro SD card with it to move your games on to.

This is my opinion, but if my main use were gaming I would not get this tab. For one, I think the processor is a bit underpowered. Not a lot of head room for lag free gaming. Also, playing any kind of graphics intensive game just eats up battery like crazy. Like I play NFS for five minutes and it drops 10%. And it gets kind of warm too. Luckily I'm a very casual gamer and get bored quickly.
I would get the shield or wait for the 2015 version of the tab S.
I have the tab s 10.5, I never ever have issues gaming. I play all the games you listed and it works great. The screen is beautiful, have no battery issues what so ever and it never gets too hot even with max brightness... Not sure why everyone else is getting bad results gaming.
I play a lot of online fps and racing games with the moga controller and Jay bud Bluetooth headphones because I travel a lot for work. Highly recommended this tablet.
I love my tabs 8.4
i play wit psp emulator,,
still no lags and best display for movie,,
