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
I'm aware that the game compatibility thread covers emulation.
But I thought I'd make a thread to specifically discuss playstation emulation.
I downloaded psx4droid 3.0.0 from the dev site, but it doesn't work on my Xoom, just closes when I open an iso, and says running in the task bar. But doesn't do anything. If you click on it, it closes.
A google search says that 3.0.1 is available, but their site seems to be down at the moment.
I tried FPse, with changing the settings. It worked. But the set to small screen doesn't stick. Have to reset it each time.
And I can't get the wii controller to work with it.
Anyone have any luck?
Found a download for psx4droid 3.0.1 from an alternate source, because zodttd still seems to be down. And the problem is the same. Assign a bios file, have 2 different ones, and then launch an iso or bin file and the app closes and a message comes up in the task bar at the bottom, if you click on it, it brings you back to iso selection.
Well im glad I'm not the only one.. thought maybe it was a bad game file
Yea, this is going to be hard for zodttd because he even stated himself on his site that he doesn't have the new latest android devices so he is doing the best he can with what he has...which to be honest I am amazed he is even still working on it after it got taken off the market.
Oh, and p.s. his site seems to be back up for now: http://www.zodttd.com/wp/
I use FPSE. In landscape, full screen with screen filtering and the enhanced sound emulation at 0 frameskip I play Mortal kombat mythologies, trilogy, and castlevania symphony of the night at full speed no problem. overclocked 1.5 ghz.
I've also got the same problem with psx4droid. I'm gonna try fpse right now.

All you have to do with FPSE and the screen size issue is tab out and tab right back in. It is a minor bug that the developer will hopefully address soon.
You will only have to do this once when loading the emulator.
Also make sure you have HLE mode disabled if you are intending to use the emulator with a proper BIOS.
FPSE isn't as polished overall as psx4droid, but I have found it to handle games a little better. I couldn't get past the first Quistis cutscene of FF8 with psx4droid but maybe this has been corrected now.
I have both psx4droid(only rom tested was metal gear solid) and fpse working on my xoom. I disabled compatibility in spare parts if that may affect it.
Sent from my Xoom using XDA Premium App
FPse for Android is a really solid Playstation Emulator. Its a paint to get started since the Roms arn't 4MB like N64 and Snes . But once you get through that its very enjoyable.
I also use FPse with the wiimote controller.
Makesure you set the wiimote to the active input keyboard, or it wont work in fpse.
Just checked the site and they've released 3.0.5. It specifically states it's compatible with the Xoom. I installed it and i'm trying it out now.
Yeah...still doesn't work...
fpse doesn't work for me at all...any attempt to disable HLE mode just results in a force close for the next action I attempt, and games won't run with it on either, so I'm kinda stuck. Does this happen to anyone else? I'm running fpse v0.10.39.
Edit: Actually, nevermind. I updated to 10.41 and it's great now, but I can't get that custom overlay working. What am I doing wrong...
Looks like I'm grabbing a classic controller and loading up some metal gear solid for my lunch breaks ha

Yea, version 3 doesn't work on the Xoom. However, psx4droid v2 1.1.2 works flawlessly. Ask Google for help finding it. I'm on disk 3 of Final Fantasy IX

FPSe (latest version) is running pretty smoothly on my Xoom; tested it with Final Fantasy 7, 8 and 9 and I'm getting pretty good performance .
Using 0.10.43 and BIOS scph1001
Streetfighter collection and wipeout running well. Just wish they'd boost the resolution a bit for the new tablets. Or correct me if I'm wrong but this is def lower res than a ps1, isn't it?
Sent from my MZ604 using Tapatalk
i'm not too sure about the resolution. You can turn on graphics filtering but tends to lag the crap out of some games. I think it mostly looks the way it should though. PS1 games were very jaggy, even the sprite based ones.
Maybe it's just a Rose tinted view of the past which is making me remember better graphics in wipeout? Man I must have spent a whole year of uni playing that damn game!!

Contact the developer.
Only gonna support xipera play from what I understand officially..

I remember one day I was digging throug emuparadise and seen they had a android games section well it happens to be that a cracked version of mc is on there. I can open it on my droid navigate menus and such but when I open the game it gives me about 10 seconds to move then the phone freezes. I think if someone knew how to edit the file just a slight bit it would work. Also a six axis controller app is required.
I reeeeeeeeally hope we can play it on our phones.

The game will be exclusive to Xperia Play for a limited time and released to other Android devices after that.
That is straight from mojang.com blog! Hope its soon.

just a wild guess but I'm willing to bet itll use virtual keypad/buttons
I can't wait for this app to come out for everyone else. I saw someone playing it on their Xperia Play phone last week and it looks quite awesome. It's not as fully featured as the desktop version of Minecraft of course, but it's still got enough to it to make it worth it in my opinion.
Anyone know how to fix the lag on an N64 emulator on this thing. I've read its suppose to run smooth on anything higher than a single core processor. Some forums said that you need to over clock but we don't have custom kernels yet. Maybe I downloaded the wrong emulator, can anybody help. I want to play jet force Gemini on this thing. Much appreciated.

Hello there! Despite what you may want to believe, you are still using an emulator! Emulators aren't perfect, and you may not be able to play all games properly! Hell, I myself had issues with Zelda when I tried it on my PC a few years back!
If you want the perfect emulator for N64 that can play all the games that you throw at it, then walk into a store and ask for an N64. That's your best bet.

Surprised no one's started this one yet. Just a thread for gamers to post what's working and what isn't. Also, to share about any titles that you particularly love. I'm always on the look out for new high quality games. I love FPS and RPG. Not a big fan of strategy which kinda sucks cuz there's SO many out there. Anyway, once I get mine (should be Monday), I'm loading up Deus Ex: The Fall, NOVA 3, Modern Combat 4 (and maybe 5), maybe a couple of Final Fantasy ones, the Bard's Tale, Iesabel, Dead Trigger 2, Temple Run, Super hexagon, Fluid SE, Playstation emu, GBA emu, and whatever else I'm not remembering right now. Anyone else have good ideas? Or other games I should try? Can't wait for Exiles to come out--that's the new massive single player RPG by the same people who gave us Ravesword Shadowlands.
Anyway, thanks for sharing!!
check out the Kingdom Rush series. their latest was just released last night and it's fun as hell.
I bought xcom enemy within last week on my Note 3. I intended to play it on a road trip this week, but they don't support Nexus 6. I copied it over from a titanium backup and restored it, and it runs, but the graphics in the gameplay are really messed up. So I bought Icewind Dale to play instead. It seems to work. Never played it back in the day so looking forward to it.
XModgames does not work at all for me, I am rooted. Anyone else have luck?
Soul Calibur runs great on this phone! Also, it is on sale for $4!

Try Modern Combat 5. It has some intensive graphics. It lagged on G3 a big time. So thinking about its performance on Nexus 6. I've pre-ordered my Nexus 6 but it's yet to come. Here it'll launch on the 2nd week of December
U know, it's weird. I played that game on the lg G3 and it ran GREAT. Thing is, I'm not to crazy about the changes they made from part 4. These super short missions, with specific goals u have to complete. It just seems too controlled. I like part 3 and 4--it's a bit more "open" to however u want to play. Just kill everyone and don't die...lol. Seems simpler. I think they tried to make it too much like dead trigger 2 and the execution wasn't as great. It could just be me--I don't know. You're right about the graphics tho, they are awesome.
EDIT: I meant to quote the post above mine about MC 5. Don't know why it didn't work.
Haven't gotten mine yet. Can someone check to see if Mass Effect Infiltrator is compatible? I liked that game but haven't been able to play it in a while because of incompatibilities.

U know, it's so ridiculous what EA has done (or more appropriately, hasn't done) with this game. I've had sooooo many devices that I don't remember the last one it worked on but I kno it hasn't worked for a LONG time for me on A LOT of devices. Really sucks cuz it was a good game. If u ask me EA is being really stupid. If they updated it, it would still be selling.

I know, same here. I don't remember the last device it worked on. I like console quality games like this. It's a shame they put something out there so good and just move on to something else and leave us hangin. It wouldn't be so bad but really good games are few and far between.

I downloaded Grand Theft Auto: Vice City and NBA Jam, both of which crash/fail to load on my Nexus 6. I thought it may have been due to my changing DPI, but reverting the DPI resulted in the games still failing to play.
