Chainfire3d: Boost Your Graphics on the SGP5! - Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0

Hey guys! Just purchased and tested Chainfire3d on my Samsung Galaxy Player 5' and it makes Gameloft games look MUCH better with the 4xMSAA. It went from the jagged edges look absolutely HORRIBLE to looking much, much better. While there is still a bit of roughness on the edges of 3D models, it still looks so much better.
I highly recommend giving this a shot, it made Asphalt look so much better! If you don't like it, it has a short window for refunds as far as I know, so be quick! But I'm positive you'll love the difference as I did!

<EDIT> Read 1st Post <EDIT> by Zaiinn

I recently discovered chainfire3d worked on my SGP.. nice difference! LOVING night mode too, that's arguably my favorite feature.
A lot of game look and run better too. I wish I could get CF.lumen working too, but it wont detect a location. Probably has something to do with it not having a cell radio.

Yeah the 4xMSAA really makes 3D games look WAY better + the Tegra support is nice too =)

Where did you get 4xMSAA plugin from?

I wish 16XMSAA can work.

The 4xMSAA (MultiSamp Anti-Aliasing) works without any extra plugins. Make sure you check the "(BETA) EGL driver" is checked when you install the CF3D driver. Then go down to:
Per-app OpenGL Settings --> [Select An App] --> Go to the bottom and you'll see the option.

Sadly our GPU can't use 16x =(

Wow! Thanks! not only do my games look better, but they run faster too
Who knows maybe I can configure Plants vs. zombies, so it won't crash any more!

ShadowGun not for SGS2 :(

It's available for those with Tegra 2/3 devices. Looks like this magnificent game is not available for us.
ShadowGun now available on the Android Market
Any ideas how this may ever get to be on a SGS2? This thread might be a waist of time.

google chainsfiredd 3d and nvidia and galaxy s ii. there's a workaround for this and tricking the phone into thinking it has a tegra as far as games are concerned.

Very nice! "Thanks" given.
Have you tried this game with ChainFire3D? Others?
If so, how well does it work??
works flawlessly just a little bit of a hassle to set up. I hope devs begin to integrate this work around into the roms... or that they make these games compatible with our phone.
Edit: Thanks for the the 'thanks' does wonders for my ego. ;-)

got it working on my international SGS II, yay
now it's downloading the required files, but it is only showing in a little window in the middle of the screen.. anyone have the same problem?
The download window will be small, but the game will take up the whole display.
Wow, It plays like a dream. I have a new game to show off my phone.

I wonder where I've heard that before
Bought the pro version of Chainfire3D and installed the nvidia plugin. And what do you know, shadowgun now shows up as an available app in the market.
Yes!
Worth the money for supporting development as well as making it available in the android market.
This page helped, worth checking out:

Does it work for any of you? It says that it is incompatible with my phone.

works fine for me with CM7 installed, even used wifi to download the gamedata...
works on piChrust fw and 0.2.1 faux Kernel
For those of you who have it working I have a question.. Is it REALLY worth the $4.99!? Ive been spoiled by .99c games. Honestly I doubt I purchase it just because of that. But if Im missing out and NEED to play this game could any body offer a brief explanation why? I have read about the game already but would like to hear from someone who is playing on an Atrix. Thanks ahead of time.

i bought it yesterday, but didn't play it for very long. it's a pretty fun game, and the controls were really intuitive. it's exactly how you would want to control a fps on a touch screen, left side of the screen for moving and right for camera.
the graphics were pretty amazing for a smartphone, i was impressed. and i didn't experience any sort of lag, which was even better (using the 1.0ghz enhanced kernel CM7)
i'd say it's worth the 5 dollars, i only got about half an hour into it so far and was already satisfied with my purchase. the animations are all voice acted so far, gameplay is fun, and controls are great for a touch screen.
I highly recommend this game. Well worth the $5. The controls are much better than the gameloft FPS's that I've played and the graphics are amazing. When you compare the price to a console game it's a no brainer purchase.
On the gameloft shooters they kinda auto aim for you (sorta like goldeneye on n64) but on this game once you press the fire button you can move your finger and move your aim, like having dual joysticks. Also the left joystick appears wherever you put your thumb (on the left half of the screen) eliminating the problem of your finger missing the joystick.
The cover system is easy to use and works well. It's nice to have that instead of just having to run around shooting. The enemy AI isn't as good as many console games but miles ahead of other mobile shooters. Enemies will move from cover to cover, one will stick back while the other tries to flank you, etc.
There are a few very minor glitches here and there, but it runs very well on the atrix.
Well worth it...just be ready to kiss your battery byebye

Haven't checked, but i haven't modified it, it's the one from aura 1.2.2.1 deblur aura. Might be the 3.2.0 market messes things up.
Definitely worth it,especially considering it'll get an update for multiplayer in the near future apparently (forgot where i read it but it was a legit source). And the game is great to play, it has great graphics and is very smooth and fast.

Hey all over in the photon forums I have figured out the mapping to be able to use a PS3 controller with the game. I would post a link but I am on mobile. Look in the photon themes and apps. The title is easy to see. Says Shadowgun available for tegra 2 devices. I have only tested the ps3 controller with the photon so hopefully it works for you guys too.

I'm using Aura 1.2.2.0 (just haven't made the upgrade to 1.2.2.2 yet) and had the "download is incompatible with your device" from the market, however, I was able to install via market.android.com
Also... Yesterday(?), there was an update available for the game. After installing it, the character was holding an invisible gun that shelled out little pink blocks. Apparently this was a pretty common problem. This was fixed by reinstalling the game after deleting /sdcard/Android/data/com.madfingergames.shadowgun

Sadly there is no way to make hdmi mirroring with the Atrix... Widescreen that is.
This game is great on both my Atrix and eee pad transformers. For anybody having glitches, just uninstall the game and reinstall. I had to do that on both devices afterthe update. Also for those who have an eee pad with dock, you can plug up an Xbox 360 controller and play the game like it is an Xbox 360 game, just loads faster.

Is the game worth it? It's a bit like asking if it's worth breathing. The graphics are amazing, the controls are very user-friendly and fun, the game runs without any sort of lag or problem and it's like Resident Evil 5 but for mobile phones.
This is the first game that i actually find worth buying for my Atrix.
Ratings: 10/10.

The Atrix does not do HDMI Mirroring in Widescreen.
I suck as FPS and I'm a sucker for eye candy, but I definitely think this is a 10/10. Very well polished game. Some FPS pros might get bored of it but I'm not good enough at the genre to make an informed decision lol
Definitely with $5 or whatever it was.

I'm wondering what's the difference between this one and the tegra optimized one you linked to. That other one is not as simple as this apk installation one. the other one needs to be hooked up to computer n bunch of other stuff.

one thing that's good with GTA is that you can have the tablet upside down and the screen rotate so the usbadapter can be used while Prime is placed in a stand.

No problem. I've stuck w/ this Launcher b/c of how smooth it runs on the 3D, and the in-drawer media organizer is great as well.
As for the All-in-one, I agree w/ you in the fact that it is very interesting and fairy low mem usage when running in background.
I've been trying to keep up on updates, but given the fact that it's all in Chinese, it's been easier to wait for the translated apk to be released lol..

This is great news. I cannot wait to try this game out on my Prime.
This game promises to be extraordinary!
Fast on 14...
Its out now for $2.99 and is also optimized for tegra 3!
It Doesnt work for me
Version .28
and i cant refund it
the installation took me 20min
what can i do ?
I already posted this to other thread, but let's post it here too.
With USB controller, everything else works other than shooting. Makes the game a bit hard. Is there any way to fix this? Maybe map the controls other way? The USB/BT joystick app doesn't see my controller, but it works fine in the other games.

One app, but the resolution can be turned up to 100%, other features like sorta like the GTA 3 options.
I really like it so far, brings back good memories playing this game for the PS1 back in the day! Controls work well, I didnt have to make any adjustments to them, I had to turn the brightness up a bit though in the settings. Overall, well worth the $3.00 asking price.
yeah, happy memories runs well and has built in ps3 gamepad support (bluetooth)... no sixaxis app required.
How come I can't start a game? Everytime I try and press New Game or Tutorial it loads Rockstar Social Club and I cant figure out how to get any further?

RockStar hit a home run with this game. I am very impressed with the graphics(with everything in video cut on or to the Max). Really good graphics. Looks way better than what I remember playing it back in the day. Love the story line. I forgot all about they killed his wife n child. I made it to the subway, first part then saved. Will get more into the game later tonight.
Also this game played fine, so far, on this new build I'm testing. No issues at all. Games like this, ShadowGun, & sonic 2 are the reason of love the tegra3 chipset so much. Nvidia is really smart giving us these exclusive optimized versions. It makes people want a tegra3 tablet. Tegra3 tablets are the best. Can't wait to see what tegra4 with likely keplar based gpu will bring. With games like these,I don't need a console system. Plus the games are alot cheaper
I'm now ready for Bladeslinger, that zombie fps, and any other tegra3 optimized game. I gotta have em all..lol. make sure to play this game, or any other game, with superips+ on. I have it at lowest setting usually. It makes the games, colors, details, display pop more. Its so much better with this mode on.
I've purchased all the high end games that has come out thus far but somehow I'm holding back on this one. Probably because I've already played it so many times back in the days. Everything's identical to the pc version even his face lol. Intro is exactly the same. I'm really glad though that game developers are recognizing android now and putting out high end games close to or at the same time as the ipad versions.
