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
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App
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.

Yeah, unfortunately I went back to the latest version because of that bug
When I'm trying to install the program (downloaded from the Market) I'm getting the message: unsupported device and the download stops.
I installed Asphalt 5 and this app works fine.

Anyways, i tried to run N.O.V.A. but it wasn't working, just got a white screen :<
That was just a DEMO version, not the full game.

Funny it appears that PC's have less compatibility problems between Intel and AMD then all the ARM-based Android devices.
Hmmmm, beginning to think that perhaps waiting for that Desire S might be the better choice. It'll be slower, yes, but at least all present apps will run on it. Pitty it hasn't got HDMI but at least it has a full metal jacket (no pun intended). It'll feel solid and high quality unlike some of those other plastic phones.

I've sent an email to EA Mobile Support about this a week ago. No response. I regret having bought the game right now - but got it for a buck.
I had both of these on my gtab, cant get them to work on xoom... they open but when i pick a game it goes to a black screen then back to game select
anyone get these to work?
The most recent version of SNESoid Lite works fine for me. I've been playing Mario RPG lately without any problems, and I played Mario World the other day with my Wiimote Classic Controller connected. I just grabbed it off the Market and haven't had any trouble yet.
I know the 3.0 version of psx4droid was crashing on Tegra chips (or maybe just the Xoom), but the latest version (3.0.5, put up today) attempted to fix it. ZodTTD has said that he doesn't have a Tegra device so it's been hard for him to debug, but you can keep an eye on his site: http://www.zodttd.com/wp/
Edit: Just tried psx4droid and it crashed on me, so it looks like there's still some issues with that one...
i have snesoid full 2.2.2 and no dice, but the lite version thats 2.4 works, ughhh
I just coughed up the $4 to get the newest version from the market and it worked, on to beating super mario world again
oh, and I had psx4droid running on a old version 1.7 on my gtab im trying that now, will post results shortly
psx4droid v2 1.1.2 works on my Xoom fine, along with Snesoid 2.2.4.

Can't play, meaning what? Cannot load? Loaded but goes back to home screen? Or what?
can load the game, the trailor can be played smoothly, but after that, it went back to home screen
I got different problem, tried to play Dungeon Hunter 2 HD, but got some textures missing (like most of the map in the menu, which makes the game kind of unplayable). Anyone got this game to work?
As for Shrek Kart, only tried it for a minute and it worked fine.
Dungeon Hunter 2 HD work fine in mine...
May I ask what version did you use? I mean, I don't think O2x is officially supported for this game yet?
you mean Dungeon Hunter 2 HD?
version 1.0.4
I find most games have worked including sparticus ... really want to try dungeon hunter 2 hd. thought it was not supported, where/how did you get your copy ?
Got mine from Gameloft store, only selected Galaxy S version... Got the white textures in map and loading bars, then tried redownloading SD data, even tried installing HTC version of game from some forums... and still no luck : / Anyone got this problem or is it just me?
Unbelievable! !!!
I can play them all with my stone running Gingerbread!!! With only 256 MB RAM!!!!
So... Double-Core???? ... what's worth????

There is a list on a site I came across last weekend that listed 2X gameloft games and what version worked. I tried looking in my history, but there was TO much to sort through. But I remember that DH2 both version's failed.
seems to me that some older games doesn't work properly (which was fine on my x10), not just ones from gameloft.
hey guys. my wife got a Xoom last week. i know we're late on the scene but its new to us and we're having a blast. me specially trying games.
I saw somewhere here that Asphalt 6 and Brothers in Arms were verified working on the Xoom.
Asphalt installs and downloads the files, when I skip the intro movie, the game crashes to the launcher homescreen. Brother in Arms installed and loaded the game, but it was all white with absolutely no textures while the game actually played. Shrek Kart (which played beautifully on my Evo) crashes when I try to run it, I don't even see the intro screen or the gameloft logo (it did run the first time and download the files). this is similarly what happens with Let's Golf 2 HD.
Homerun Battle 3D installs and lets me get through the trainer but when I get to actual gameplay, it crashes.
those are the ones I remember. there's been a few others that have crashed and/or not worked.
we have a stock Xoom. since it's my wife she's hesitant about rooting it, so no root, no overclocking, no software changes. updated to 3.1 and that's it.
why are all these games, some of which I've seen comments that they either work fine or are verified to work with tablets and/or specifically with the xoom and don't work for us?
thanks!
It sounds like you're speaking about 4 gameloft titles.
Gameloft in general has had only sub-par performance in the Honeycomb market space so far, with pretty much all of their titles breaking going from 3.0 to 3.1 honeycomb.
To my knowledge, they only officially support the Xoom on like 1 of those games.
That's all I have to add to this topic.
the 4 Gameloft games that are compatible with the xoom according to Gameloft are Spiderman HD, heroes of Sparta, nova HD, and asphalt 5 or 6 HD (can't remember which).
Others may work but if they don't gameloft won't help. They have terrible policies. They don't accept any returns no matter what I.e no matter how buggy their games are. At least if they are supposed to support a device they will try to help, but still no returns. I had them send me a revised apk of heroes of Sparta because the original afficial one didn't work. It took them 5 days but whatever.... I guess.
For a list of HD Gameloft games that have been found to work on the xoom there is a thread somewhere on here. I forget the guys name who started it and is testing them all though. Its like darkLordOfFeces of something like that.
yeah I saw that list...and it's not correct. I think his list is compatible with 3.0 not 3.1.
spiderman hd works only as far as until I beat up the first three bad guys or so in the intro. then it FCs. asphalt 6 downloaded the files but then once I skip the intro movie it closes to the launcher without any message.
ahh i want those two games...although more specifically, Asphalt 6 HD because I don't have any really good looking racing games. I have a few, but none that look as good.

I bought Asphalt 6 and promptly disputed the purchase through Paypal (and got my money back). Some weeks later, they fixed it and sent me a new download link. It does work, but I will never buy another Gameloft title.
Please try out Riptide GT its a very cool water racing game!

hi.. i'm using iconia a500.. although different devices but i've installed this 4 games of gameloft by using xoom installer..
i've rooted my iconia.. and i've facing the same problems like you.. the games force close after few minutes of play..
then, i've recover back to stock rom 3.0.1... and I can play all the games without any crashes!
when I update my stock rom to the OTA 3.1.. again the games crashed as before .. seems that the official rom also causing problems.
I'm not sure whether the problems come from the hc 3.1 or from the gameloft themselves, but this is very disappointing since you need to stay using 3.0.1 to place these games..
so.. you need to downgrade you xoom to 3.0.1 to able to play the game
loft games.

The latest, most up-to-date versions of those games are working on 3.1 for me. If you are using an old version, they will not work on 3.1!! You must have the latest updated version directly from gameloft.
The games working on 3.1 from gameloft are, Nova, Asphalt 6, Spiderman, Hero Of Sparta for the Xoom and Brothers In Arms 2 for the LG Optimus 2x.
well since I posted this thread I rooted and moved to Tiamat and now Asphalt 6 seems to be working. only played through a quick race but it's further than I had ever gotten.
spiderman hd also let me play a little more but then crashed to desktop. i'll have to see if the overclocking is affecting it at all.
thanks for the replies.
The problems with gameloft/gameloft games is/are:
Gameloft only moves fast if it is one of the most popular android devices
Everytime gameloft finally decided to update their games a new android version comes out
As long as those are the only issues!
