also rember to enable unkown sources in application settings

^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.

Suitable for playing games?

My 15 year old nephew wants a mobile phone and I was thinking of suggesting this one, the mini. His basic use apart from phone calls will be playing games. Is the mini worth it? Can it play games well. He has a net connection at home and can download using WiFi so that is not an issue. Is the processor and GPU good enough? Can the memory store many games?
Apart from this there don't seem many choices in this price range for Android phones and I feel Android is the best choice.
If anyone has other phone suggestions, please let me know.

Don't know much about which games are high graphics. Can he play simple games like Angry Birds? Which games would lag?
Any other phone suggestion in similar price range?

yea angry birds wouldn't lag..but high graphics games like NFS Shift, Ashphalt would lag..

LG Optimus One, HTC Wildfire S, ZTE Blade - these phones are little bit better than Samsung galaxy mini.

[Q] I am going to buy a galaxy note in 2 weeks..need to knw about game compatibility

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

thanks for the info guys

All the games I play kick ass on the Note..
Order&Chaos
Modern Combat 3
Death Rally (man this game is awesome)
I dont play a lot of games though..Also you can use chainfire3d to play games you couldnt normally.

Been using my Galaxy Note for like 3-4months game play is awesome....i have a few titles that jist look great...
Shawdowgun is one of the favorites...
And if your wearing headphones you got the option for 5.1 digital sound...works great in the car as well connected to car radio as well......works grwat for watching movies as well...

[Q] Nvidia Games on Note

Hi everyone I just sold my HOX and got myself Note and my question is about games especially nvidia games like Wild blood ,riptide Gp and stuff like that.
I've heard that i shouldn't install chainfire especially when i'm on android 4.1.2 because it will mess up my phone .
Is that true? If so what is the best way to play nvidia games on Note ?

I've just installed chainfire 3d and after reebot phone didn't "getup" i'm stocked on bootloop.
God damn how i suppose to install Chainfire 3d is there a special guide or some other crappy trick?

I had Wild Blood on my SGSII, which is Mali, not Nvidia ... ran fine. Haven't tried it on the Note yet (also Mali) but I will.

I've played riptide on my note natively

As far as I know any apps that require armV7 won't run.
Any games that will run will need to be not demanding of cpu as our Ace has low horsepower.

BUY A NEW PHONE
SGA has low RAM, low BATTERY, slower CPU(armv6)
So you are out of luck
