[Guide][HOW-TO]Run Tegra 2 Games on the Droid Bionic - Motorola Droid Bionic

Ok guys, I've read that it was possible and haven't actually found a tut that explained for our device how to get them working. So this evening I spent alot of time just doing it my self.
Warning: I am not responsible for what happens to your device.
This guide requires a paid app.
1. Download Chainfire 3D
https://market.android.com/details?i...=search_result
2. Buy and Download Chainfire 3D Pro
https://market.android.com/details?i...=search_result
3. Open Chainfire 3D, Go to CF3D driver
4. Click the check mark (BETA) EGL Driver and then press install driver. after it installs it will reboot
5. After that, Download the Nividia Plugin for the app.
http://www.multiupload.com/94PSL9M1YP
6. Copy the zip file into the internal sdcard, Leave it as a .zip file.
7. Open Chainfire 3D and go to Install plugins / shaders. and install the niviida plugin.
8. After this go to the main screen of chainfire 3D and click fix market links.
9. Download Nividia Tegra Zone
https://market.android.com/details?i...=search_result
10. Open Chainfire and navigate to "Per-app OpenGL Settings"
11. Find TegraZone Games
12. Uncheck "Use Default Settings"
13. Find Use Plugin and select Nividia
Now the Tegra Zone will open and run as it would on a tegra device.
You can find games to get in there / buy
Once you download a game you will have to go to Chainfire/per-app settings/game name and uncheck default settings/ use plugin nividia.
I have tested with 3 free games and they all work with no issues.
I hope this helps people who was looking for this.
If you have any questions I will help as much as i can.
Thanks
Aaron

Thanks, this worked great. I got riptide GP up and running on the Bionic!

So further testing. The Samuri 2 game, works but has bugs. The menu to select new/load/ game isnt showing up. You can press on the screen blindly and try to find where they are. but i only can find new game lol. so playing this game is pointless.

Galaxy on Fire 2 works... but it's kinda laggy and has a "Shader Error!!!!" message in the center of the screen.
Gorilla Bob works, but again is laggy

May work better after OC
I'm thinking it may work a lot better after we are able to overclock our bionics, and too bad we cant download vendetta, says incompatible phone when trying to download.

I bought a ton of gameloft games for $0.99 (some special thing) on my Xoom. I had to download the .apks from the site (not from the market).
will the apks even install? or is there some protection thing where I can only install the games on my Xoom?

I really don't think that would matter. They should install with no problems. Copy the .apk on ur sdcard of your bionic and go in the file manager and install them. They should work.

I'm trying to get gameloft games working, any idea? I've tried and tried lol

Worked, but odd shader errors
Instructions worked like a charm. Got three games and they run fine.
Few shader bugs it seems...
Get "Warning: Shader Error!!!" on screen in galaxy on fire 2, i dont get any lag at all though like a previous poster mentioned...
The water in Sprinkle looks like a mass of circles instead of water...
The start screen in Samuri II is not visable, along with opening story screen....
an FYI for samuri II: To start a game hit the in the bottom left corner of screen. Then a grey box shows.. tap the left side to resume game. (got this off looking at my buddies photon 4g to get the location of the virtual buttons so i could play )

I downloaded Gameloft's Asphalt 5 from Android Market.
When I ran the app, it tried connecting to Gameloft's servers to download the bulk of the game's data. Then it said my device was not supported.
Do Gameloft games check a device whitelist after installing the APK?

Disappointed...
I'm having to use Chainfire3D Pro 2.8 Cracked Version.
Because the 3.0 Download in the Market is broken.
The 2.8 version unable to fix the majority of Market Links, I am only able to download one game. Dungeon Defender.
The beta driver installed fine.
The Nvidia installed fine.
But the Market still says my phone is incompatible with most of the games.
Does anyone have the Chainfire3D Pro 3.0 Apk that I can download?
Cause I'd like to see if that makes any difference with the Market Links.
Thanks!

Sorry, I do not support piracy, So i will not be-able to help you find Cracked Versions. If you want the app. Pay for it.

OK, so I followed your instructions, but the Market still says my device is incompatible, even after running the Market fix. The Tegra Zone app, however, no longer says that I don't have a Tegra device, so that's a good sign. Any suggestions?

3d home run battle

I keep getting the error "information about your device cannot be retrieved due to unstable platform ". Then I have to hit the forceclose button. The thing is that I can see thegame running fine in the background. I don't understand this.

**edit** it also says "(According to your device, you may need to restart the application multiple.)"
What the hell is the Application Multiple??????
Hopefully someone will figure out a way to get this to work on the g tablet. It plays fine on my rooted nook color.
It even plays great on my lil Aria

Just to add to the list of confusion, another game, Live Hold'em Pro does a similar thing. It loads up, the splash scrreens work fine, but as the main screen of the game is about to comeup, I get the force close window. The funny part is how I see the game working in the background!

Homerun 3D was working perfectly before I repartitioned my drive. I have the same problem with it not working now and other games like Reckless Racing don't work either. Both worked perfectly before the repartition (2048/0)....any ideas?

Yeah it really bites...but wait til the guys here get a hold of it, they'll make it work!
Don't mean to bump an old thread but wanted to know if a solution was found
Works fine for me on calkulins Tom. I want to say that is one of the apps I restored via titanium from my Droid backup though
Cant get it to work on BC
Works fine for me on Vegan GE 7.0.0 Stable RC1.
This is just a guess, but it may have something to do with HR3D trying to get some kind of device information from build.prop on what platform it is running on.
As more background info, I had this app working fine on Vegan 7 GingerEdition, and it works fine on VeganTab 5.1.1 Froyo.
I loaded AOSP Ginger with HC elements...modified build.prop with Sprint info to get some more market apps, and then restored HR3D and I've had this same message ever since...
I just haven't had time to play around with it quite yet, but I'm guessing that replacing the build.prop might get this thing working...
I would love to be able to play vs mode with my gtablet. I am running deck's 2.3.4 for gtablet. the game runs fine just no vs mode. Someone has to know how to get it to work.

shadowgun issues

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!

Some games don't work

Some games like The Sims 3 and others won't work. When I start the apps EA's logo appears (i'm talking about Sims), freezes at that screen and finally exits to app. Can I fix this problem? I used CM7 and now I use CM9, still won't work.

This solved the problem my girlfriend was having with Fashion Story on her Droid.
Thanks!
Chainfire won't do anything if the game dosen't start. I changed the CFW to FroyoMOD, the game starts, but it has a weird graphics bug. Chainfire reduces the textures so I can't see anything. The graphics bug is like on a computer, when you have Pixel Shader 2, but the game need Pixel Shader 3. So, there are white parts, at CAS (create a sim) everything but his body is white, and after creation, the envirnoment is white. What should I do next?

Worms (that's from EA) works without any problem. I used all the versions, they all do the same. I tried with many ROMs and only FroyoMOD mangaged to open the game. On stock it was working fine, but stock is too goddamn slow.
it looks like a memory issue and the task killer in low memory in each rom, you should try stock rom but with overclock

[Q] Trying to take advantage of "Play Store" App Sale

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.

Gameloft MW3

I am using alpha 2 cm9 with rohan's script. I have games like asphalt, MW2, and Nova 2 all working. Been searching for info about MW3 but no luck. MW3 downloads fine but after boot screen and opening credits forcecloses. Any one have it working?
I might suggest installing Chainfire3D Pro from the market and configuring it on a per-app basis with a plugin like NVIDIA or PowerVR.
This is how I got DEAD SPACE to work on my Touchpad.
