I've been having trouble getting tegra games to show up and appear compatible for the longest time. Now I think I've partially done it. I've noticed I can finally see more gameloft titles such as NOVA 2. However, there are still games that aren't working. If I go to TegraZone and click on glowball or the Elder Scrolls V Skyrim live wallpaper it says my device is not compatible. Perhaps these are only for Tegra 3? Does chainfire 3d market fix give support for tegra 3 apps, or do we need to edit our build.prop for a tegra 3 device? If so, which device and what do we change?
There is a method you need to use to get them working on an imcompatible device, search the forums.
I've tried different methods... I've only been able to get as far as getting Tegra 2 games to work, that's why I'm asking after I've searched. I can't seem to bring up anything regarding Tegra 3 games.
Is Chainfire 3D supposed to make Tegra 3 games compatible or only up to Tegra 2?

^Thats gonna get taken down. It shouldnt though since those developers wont sell a version for our phones.
There is a version of Pinball THD around that has the tegra check removed. I hoping this can be done to all THD games so I dont have to mess around with chainfire.
Devs need to realize tegra devices are maybe 5% of all android devices. And not all those users are going to buy games. So they are targeting maybe 3% of android users.
If people starting buy THD games to use with chainfire then devs will continue to make tegra only games.
I agree with you BenKranged i also think that google should step to the plate like they did with the carriers and the phone companys to stop this fragmentation and stop Nvida paying off the devs and the devs charging 6 to 7$ for games.
also i think terga devices make up less of the market
Nvida profts for this quater says that only 6.25% is the percentage of all tegra based products make up in there profits
Thx alot squishy for the detailed guide, I'm having succes with all of the games u posted,no lag at all to my surprise exept samurai II which doesnt even wanna load,the game starts but loading the missions does not so basicly menu browsing only.
P.S. I'm running Mosaic III D with xcal #15 vodoo enabled
Backstab anyone?
Anyone manage to get Backstab working? If so, how?
TIA, if not, no worries.

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.
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

can the droid play any of those games? if i transfer the apk from my friend's samsung galaxy s2, will it install and let me play?
Not if you transfer it from SGS2, but yes, it is possible to play those games on Droid. You will either have to buy them or look on some forums with "modded" apps.
To improve performance in heavy games, you can root and install Chainfire 3D to reduce textures etc. in games.
Hope you understand, it is not allowed to share cracked apps over here.
its not in the market so i was wondering why? i seen videos of people playing quake 3 and stuff on youtube. is it the internal storage limitation?

I suggest you Mobilism to download ****** apps. You can't see the games on Market because they are blocked for devices that run the game unstable, or don't even run it. Sandstorm and MC are usually not on Market, only a few Gameloft games are. So we have to find ways to play some games = manual installation.
Tried to play it with CHAINFIRE 3D
comes up with a message says tegra 2 needed
usually works with tegra based games
any fix?
