So, as the title hints at, this is a thread for what games you are currently playing on your streak 5 and how they run and how you like it.
I'm currently running StreakDroid 1.9.1 OC'd to 1.19 with perfmod, just to give some background.
Currently I am playing the following and enjoying all of them:
Shadow Guardian - It runs fantastically so far and I've had no issues whatsoever. I highly recommend it for anyone thats a fan of the Tomb Raider series as it strongly reminds me of them in both gameplay and storyline.
NOVA 2 - If you liked the first one, you'll love this one. It runs ok except for long load times and the occasional graphical error. Sometimes walls and such vanish but simply pressing the home button to exit and then holding it down to re-enter the game clears these up everytime.
Dead Space - I strongly, strongly recommend this game. Its by EA and runs flawlessly and captures all the horror and anticipation of the console versions, especially when played in a dark room using head phones.
Star Legends - I juggle between playing this on my streak and my Viewsonic G-Tablet running honeycomb and strongly recommend it for mmorpg fans as its free to play and the graphics are not bad at all.
Order and Chaos - This is a very graphically intense mmorpg that is eerily familiar to WoW both graphically and with quests. I experience some lag and hiccups when I enter areas with a lot of characters and I suppose this is to be expected. I also juggle between playing this on my G-Tablet and highly recommend it for any mmorpg fans out there.
All of the games I've listed are 3d and i would say most are comparably to playstation 2 level of graphics. The streak handles them all beautifully and it is a pleasure to play on our 5" screens, so What are you all playing?
Samurai II
Beautiful cell shaded graphics and smooth gameplay. Decent story line, but who cares... you use a freakin katana to decapitate and cut ppl in half. Blood splatter never looked as good on a phone as it does on a five inch screen.

Where do you get your games from? Send me a pm if its "special"
I'm not playing those types of games on my Streak. Currently, I'm playing Refraction, which I had gotten as an Amazon Free App of the Day. Very very addicting.
Most of the other games I have are pinball machines, though I have some time wasters like Farkle 10,000, Simple Dice (Yahtzee) and My Word Game Lite (Scrabble).

I second this. None of those are available in the Market. Is there some IOS emulator that im not aware of?
There's also the amazon market or sometimes the android market marks it as not compatable.
I'm also playing refraction from the same day it was free
Manii, how far along are you in Refraction? Currently I'm on puzzle 10, level 6.
I'm on 5-1 but I dont play it aggressively

Mine is supported. I have official Dell rom, build 351. But when my device was rooted I saw lot of apps as not compatible with Dell Streak. When I unrooted, it was ok (I needed root just for removing some apps and to set DPI to 140). So, is your device rooted?
Yeah I'm using streakdroid 1.9.1. Hmm interesting...

So you did not quote me and ask the question "How are you playing this? It says its not supported on my streak." in the following post?

If the question was not directed at me, do not quote my post! When you quote someone's post, it is an accepted fact that you are addressing the person you quoted and should expect a reply from that person.
The answer to your question of how I can play Refraction and you cannot lies within my post that you quoted. Now there are other reasons that you could be having issues, but since you weren't looking for an answer from me in the first place, you can do one of two things: apologize to me for being rude and be given the answer, or learn to use the search engine like everyone else.

Was running SS1.2 with perfmod and OC 1.2Ghz. Currently, I'm on SS1.3 testing 4 (I think... I flash way too often )
Downloading from Market now to test. I recently did a factory reset (nothing was wrong, just love that fresh Android feeling).
Oh, and now I see. You need to hit Home \ Settings \ SD Card & Phone Storage \ Unmount SD Card before you download and install from market. This is the same procedure to get many Market games working on the Streak (Angry Birds for example). After the app downloads and installs, go back and Mount SD Card.
::edit::
Oh, I just went back and read your post again. It sounds like you either need to wipe Market cache or change your build.prop fingerprint. My fingerprint is
Code:
ro.build.fingerprint=dell/streak/streak/8x50:2.2.2/FRG83G/eng.cmbuild.20110317.163900:user/release-keys
-note: if you use the OEM Swype (not the Beta from Swype, but the version that comes preinstalled on SD or Stock), changing the build.prop will stop Swype from working.

I came on a bit strong.
It's all kosher now that you explained what was going on. I accept your apology and in answer to your original question have a question: did you change the dpi of the Streak's display? There are some other users having an issue with the Market declaring apps not compatible with the Streak. The theory that happens to fit the facts is that changing the dpi breaks compatibility, causing apps to be labeled incompatible for the Streak.
They changed their display's dpi. I didn't. They have compatibility issues with some apps such as the XDA client. I don't. Thus the dpi setting is the most likely culprit.
Here is a link to a zip with all the games found in the Gamestop retail tablets. This is for those with the Gamestop exclusive TFP to help restore your games. This is for those who accidentally, or purposely, delete the games by doing a factory reset. Since Gamestop support has no knowledge of the games on the tablets and don't know how you can get them back, I posted the games here. Until someone can say that Gamestop has a way of restoring the games for us, this link can be made useful.
This is not in any way a method of obtaining games that didn't come with your tablet.
Mods, can you please move this thread to the Themes/Apps section if the thread is ok?
Thanx I wanna have a backup for when I start flashing stuff to the tab. I'm just having problems with sonic CD, it will not download it fc's half way.
Don't even bother downloading Sonic CD. Waste of time and space. It looks like someone took the first sonic game and made it available here but didn't change anything about it especially the graphics. It wasn't optimized for the prime because it is heavily pixilated. Just the look alone makes me hate it.

You aren't allowed to post games in here that aren't free. As they didn't come with my BestBuy TFP and i must purchase them, this is technically warez and can get the forum/you in trouble.
And also, this is the development forum, not the themes/apps
original post fixed.
since these games didn't technically come from factory installed, deleting some won't affect OTA? you know how if you delete system installed or factory apps OTA updates won't work. the sonic game looks cool but very pixalated. not tablet optimized.

hmm well we shall see what the mods say.
Sorry, but making these games freely available to anyone would be considered warez.
I am going to post this document that I made into this thread later when I have the rights to post images/links. Sorry for the inconvenience.
Anyway, here is a word document that explains how to install Order and Chaos onto the Transformer Prime using a Chinese method.
ROOT REQUIRED TO GET THE GRAPHICS WORKING! Chainfire 3D is used to emulate a Qualcomm processor. Without this the game will not get past the "Play" button after character creation.
tegra2 apk of order and chaos works great on tf prime without any further patching and rooting. But its not legal to post it here, so you guys should look it up.
u could still pm me
can i be lost here?
ok so a brain fart, right?
why isn't it legal to post information about running a market game on the tab? is the tegra2 an illegal version of the game?
i'm just a little confused and have been interested in this game for a while so i wanted to post this to see if maybe there was a way that i could finger out a way to get it running on my tab...
not like i need an excuse to play another mmorpg erf.
any extrapolation of the above posts would be greatly beneficial to me and maybe other people as well.
thanks in advance
I'm assuming the game is paid so if you would post the .apk here it would be considered warez which is a no no

dood, i TOTALLY apologize for my stupids. so i did some research because when i saw your post, i thought ''theres no WAY i paid 7 bucks for that!". order and chaos ran on sale a while back for a buck. i got it then. my bad. can we please still be friends?
So I somehow managed to find a copy of Order and Chaos which worked perfectly on my unrooted prime, alone, and without the help of other hacks or apps. I found it simply by searching "Order and Chaos tegra 2". I have no idea if it was hacked or altered, but it just worked. It was able to download and log into version 1.0.9
As irony would have it, on the very same night I found a working version (3 or 4 nights ago at this point), my celebration was cut short when all the servers went down and updated to version 1.1.0. Of course now my 1.0.9 was unable to log into the servers and I haven't been able to find a working version of 1.1.0.
Its out there, a copy of 1.1.0 which doesn't require the rooting and altering initially suggested by this post. If anyone finds it, let us know where. It would be a remarkable feat and a great in-your-face to Gameloft.
I'm currently working on getting a 1.1.0 version working. So far I have it starting but then crashing before "Touch to Start Playing" pops up :/
Smahon I am in the same boat
if only we could get mc3 now -.-'

Looks like this does a device check like all the others . Worth the shot though, thank you.
In the meantime I've been having a nice time playing touchscreen World of Warcraft through Splashtop HD, and its working very nicely .
I hadn't realized that it does a device check *after* the data download. I thought the device check was initiated prior to the data download.
You can bypass the device check by downloading the cracked version by Muzhiwan (google it). However, I have been struggling to get it to get to the Main Menu. Crashes before Touch to Continue pops up. If anyone manages to get it to work it would be great.
I think the problem is the graphics renderer. It all works until graphics have to be rendered (loaded at touch to continue). Chainfire has had no luck so far getting this to work. :/
New update taking care of a lot of issues rwported by users.
Tried going the Muzhiean route but their PC software is in Chinese.

i bought the game today on my galaxy nexus. Played fine on it. Then i did a titanium backup, took the apk, then shared the apk to my TP.
Game loads up but a message pops up to say the device is not compatible but "you can try anyway". So i clicked OK. and bam... it just closes.
i guess the only way to get it on the TP is when gameloft decide its about time they fix it for us!

I bought my prime from gamestop last week and it came preloaded with some games. i deleted them because i figured they were just demos of the games, but they were the actual games. is there any way for me to get them back other than going on the market and buying them?
Thanks

Does anyone have the apk file to ALL the games that came preinstalled to the prime?? I had to do a hard reset and lost all the games. :-(
A link to them? Email? Thank you!!
can anyone help?
most primes dont come with full pre-loaded games, you need find someone who purchased theirs from same place as only few stores had this different pre-loaed content
Im talking about the ones from gamestop that came preinstalled with a few games. Doing a search i found a few threads that had links to them,but they were either closed or the links dont work.
Was hoping someone had these games saved somewhere and were able to help.
Hello all just recently joined the prime family and I am trying to get movies onto the tab. I successfully got two onto it, but I am having trouble getting the didgital copy edition ones on. Rather I should say I can't get them to work period. Can anyone recomened me a program that removes the drm and can convert the movies into an appropriate file. I am unrooted and I have vista as my os on my computer 32 bit I think any help would be much appreciated thanks.

If your able to get them on the prime but unable to play the format, try downloading an app called " online player". It can play almost any format.
Go to the play store on your tablet and download MX VIDEO PLAYER. this will play just about any video format.
Thanks for the input and i have tried mx player, bb player, dice and many others. I am finding that I am having trouble with files that are DRM protected. I have 2 movies on my prime that i can view no problem, but I have tried to put 2 other movies on that came with blue ray as a digital copy that i cannont play. I am looking for a video converter or perhaps a program that can remove the DRM on the file so that they can be played back on the prime.
thanks.
oh and a side note, i can not seem to reply or post anything on xda from my prime, all i can do is read. Am i stupid and just not using it right or does it not yet have complete functionality with ICS? any thoughts?

I would recommend Dice Player, a nice simplistic UI and plays practically any media files along with subtitles and such.
As for the XDA problem are you using the browser? If so are you even logged in? lol
I have been using DVD Catalyst. The software is very inexpensive and the developer is extremely responsive. He is a "supporting vendor" at the Transformer Forums. There is a trial period for the software if you want to try it out. He was right there to help when one of the 15 videos I was converting using the software just wouldn't work. He got right back to me and helped me with necessary adjustments. Not sure about Vista but you could ask him.
fyi, here's a link to the forum section for further info

I can post, reply etc. from my Prime, the menu icon near the bottom of the screen supports that functionality...I am using the paid version though, I'm not sure about the free one. Support the devs!!! It is certainly worth the small cost to have access to all the knowledge found at XDA forums!

Yup, I've been using DVD Catalyst for a while and it's never met a video file or DVD it hasn't converted. There are presets for all kind of devices and it's easy to use. I'll second the fact that the dev is very quick to reply. Every e-mail I've sent asking a question has been met with a responce in a couple of hours. I'm not sure about digital copies, I've never tried to convert on of those yet.

Digital Copies (the ones you get with some DVDs and Blurays) are DRM protected. They use an activation system that is mostly compatible with Apple iDevices and Windows Mobile devices, but not with Android devices.
There are some newer formats, such as UltraViolet and PocketBlu, that are "Android" compatible, but they are a bit of a hit & miss.
There are some tools that use your computer to play and record the files in order to "convert" them (the only way), however, you will achieve better results by converting the actual BR and DVD discs directly.

Are these "digital copy editions" iTunes videos?
I ran into the same problem. I buy a lot of DVDs and when they come with a "Digital Edition" it is always an iTunes video which has some sort of copy protection that prevents non-Apple devices from playing them most of the time.
I used an program called Noteburner M4v Converter that sells for $40. It strips the DRM out of the iTunes movies and allows you to play them on other devices.
Here is a link to the site:
http://noteburner.com/noteburner-m4v-converter.html
It takes a while to convert the movies but the quality is just as good as the unconverted movies and you can convert them to several formats. I kept the videos in M4v format since Android has no problem reading this format and it is easier to convert from one format to the same format if all you are interested in doing is getting rid of the DRM so you can play you legally purchased movies on your Android device.
Ya I can rip regular DVDs onto my prime but the digital copies I find have the drm on them and won't let me add it to my prime guess I need to buy a blue ray reader for my computer
Sent from my Transformer Prime TF201 using XDA
I have this same problem. seems to be the drm incoding. I looked at DVD catalyst site, and it says that it can't convert drm encrypted files. Any one have another program that will?
