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

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?

Sprinkle runs perfectly fine on the Bionic without needing Chainfire.

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!

[Q]Plants vs Zombies - ROM

Hi
i have a question im want to play plants vs zombies and other good games on android - Xperia X8 but i didn't figure out which rom is the best i wanted a rom with bravia hack[yes i know its pretty much nothing but i like to have it] and xLoud but cant find good right now im on LinuXperia Escha Arch 3.5 it is pretty good but i have major difficulities trying to play PVZ the thing is it's starts but very randomly[not all the time quite often it just crashes at loading] and when it starts i cant write my nickname in game and without you cant play and why i cant write my name? becuse keyboard just dont shows up so i tried others keyboards and none of them worked
So my question is on which gingerbread rom with bravia hack and xloud[and there need to be dsp manager becuse without it i cant use playerpro] i will be able to play Plants vs Zombies
and Yes im using chainfire 3D with powervr plugin

GingerCruzt maybe? It has both xLoud and Bravia engine. Try it and check does PvZ work.
Sent from my X8 using XDA App

i tried and it doesnt even start to load crash after pop cap logo

on a froyo rom this game works, not on cm7..cm6 have more compatibility with apps

This game crash because we have low RAM.
This can be solved by using Chainfire especially in Android 2.2.
For Android 2.3, you must use a ROM which is very lite and have much free RAM to play it, and the result is not very good and will cause random pop out in the loading or during the game. A temporary solution is restart the phone and play the game with "fresh" condition.
For Android 2.3, the best solution is use a custom kernel which is support SWAP, create a swap file/partition which is minimum 96mb, then you can play the game without any problem.

PvZ also crash before I enable swap on my phone, and now it works even without chainfire
If you don't want swap, you can:
either write your nick in messaging for example, copy it and paste in PvZ, this will allow you to create profile without popping out the keyboard
or use a froyo rom as suggested

ok so my question is which froyo rom is the best is it froyopro?
update
tried froyopro still crashes before loading

Try minicm6, I am using it and it is very fast and smooth for gaming...

i'll tell you mate i tried most of roms on our forum pvz is always going to crash if free ram isnt enough the only way is swap.
well i have a class 2 sdcard so swap isnt going to be usefull i guess so i always restart my phone use a task killer and enjoy the game
u have to face the fact that we've got low ram
cheers

i tried MINICM6 it is really fast i can get by just killing app in GO launcher EX like a ~95 MB of ram but Plants vs Zombies still dont work
OMG why tell me why on minicm7 and nAa kernel STILL dont work there need to be other way for this freaking game

for play this game you need a froyo rom ( for me for games minicm 6 it's better or froyobread 12, i never test froyo pro)
you need chainfire pro, and plugins. you need instal a plugin like powervr.. i see somewhere that you need nvidia plugin but i think that with powervr it works too.
this game only works on a froyo rom and you need chainfire pro and plugins test and you see

i know that you need a chainfire i wrote that but anyway somehow i make game to work it probably has something to do with cyanogenmod performance settings and game started
MINICM7 with nAa i could probably get this game to work with froyo but it's good rom and ginger so im stick to it

I played PVZ with chainfire without plugin, and it should not needed plugin neither.
That was chainfire 1.8?(i forget), and Floyo 2.0
But still, very recommended to unlock bootloader and flash custom kernel.

plants vs zombies on my phone gingerdx
working way 1
install chainfire3d and enable 16bit
( no plugins ) (some lag if more zombies are coming and eat your brain )
or
working way 2
use swap ,
you do not need install chainfire3d (no lags )
you can use keyboard here

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.

Cm9 not for daily use..use chainfire 3d in cm 7 reduce texture and then try...

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
