Plants VS Zombies fix for Galaxy Player 4 & 5 - Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0

If your having trouble running Plants vs zombies on your Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0 or 5.0
(my game played fine until the night levels)
The game would lag, freeze, and touch controls would stop working.
then download chainfire 3d (Root Required!)
Open the "Per app settings"
and scroll to "Plants vs. Zombies"
now click the check box next to: "reduce texture quality"
You can also use "disable map buffer emu" but it's not as important.
The game should now run super smooth!!
how ever since we reduced the quality, the sprites of the zombies do not look as good.
But at least it plays
I have attached some in game screenshots take a look
-----
Note:
The fourth screen shot is blurry because it was taken while the game is playing, so NO, it dose not look that bad,
but it should give you a general idea of how the colors will look.

thanks! will try this if I also encounter the same problems in the night levels

I have the SGP 5.0 yp-g70 and it had trouble at first without chainfire and no overclocking. Then i oced to 1.2 GHz and it works fine. I havent used chainfire extensively but i find that it isnt needed for most apps except GTA III and maybe other gameloft games like modern combat (on GTA i still get lag but there is a way to fix it)

Fpse works on Wildfire (PS1 emulator)

I just downloaded FPse emulator for android and it is working with Wildfire as well.
Tried with Tekken 3, it works, slow, but works. May be I need to overclock a little more (currently 710MHz) to make it work reasonably.
Anyone else tried and which game working smoothly ?
EDIT: O.K. With CM7 RC1 installed without google apps, JIT enabled, overclocked @768MHz and only FPse PS1 emulator app with 15 fps skip setting (for android) installed (trying to simulate gaming ROM for HTC Wildfire), the following games are tested and found satisfactory run:
1. Tekken - found running O.K.
2. Tekken 3 - found a little slow (but playable)
3. Gran Turismo - found playable
4. Digimon world - To be tested (as reported by ms_green)
5. Moto Racer - Full Speed with sound (After enabling boost mode)
6. Final Fantasy VII - Full Speed with sound
7. Tony Hawk's Pro Skater - Full Speed with sound
8. Quake II - Full Speed with sound
9. Tenchu - Stealth Assassins - Playable with sound
10. Mortal Kombat 4 - Full Speed with sound
11. Moto Racer 2 - Full Speed with sound (After enabling boost mode)
12. Moto Racer World Tour - Playable
13. Mortal Kombat 4 - very smooth (40-50 fps) as reported by @Was3k
14. Pro Evolution Soccer - playable (20-25 fps) as reported by @Was3k
15. Mortal Kombat Trilogy - very smooth as reported by @karl23koch
16. Motorhead - playable (30 fps with JIT enabled, @730MHz, sound OFF & boost mode)
17. Metal Slug X - very much playable @40 fps as reported by @ziemjak
Additionally, switch to Airplane mode and enable Boost Mode from system.
I'll add the games in above list as I test them.
Note: Only one mode can be enabled at a time, either HLE or Bios mode (if HLE is not selected, it is bios mode) and in bios mode only, Boost Mode can be enabled.
Wildfire can't even emulate SNES at a reasonable speed, it's just not powerful enough.

Well to be fare snes is fine but I doubt that ps 1 will work good
Try digimon world. It works fullspeed on my legend. (without frameskip) ...some text is missing tough...
Final fantasy 8 is not fullspeed but payable.
The same goes for ridge racer.

I have done few steps which makes FPse play faster:
- fresh Installation of CM7 RC1 without Gapps
- Only installed two additional apps: FPse (obviously) and SetCPU for overclocking (@768 MHz)
- Enabled JIT
- Stopped all background processes and put in Airplane mode
and in Fpse settings, set frameskip to 15 fps.
With above changes, I think, FPse is working fine for Tekken 3 (not very fast, but good).
Can anyone suggest what more can be done to speed up the games ?
I think we can have a CUSTOM ROM for wildfire only for gaming without any features like phone, message, google services, etc, etc, then only, Wildfire will be able to play PS1 games smoothly.
Anyway, I will test additional games on FPse and put the result here.
I think this is the best place to requiest a good gaming ROM for wildfire:
Anyone can produce CUSTOM ROM for Wildfire for GAMING only ?

If you're wanting to go to all that effort then why don't you buy a cheaper android mp3 player that has a GPU something like one of the archos ones, you can get them now for around £100 (roughly $150)
Such a Rom already exists. CM7 without gapps in airplane mode.
There's hardly any point of making a gaming Rom separately because it would hardly do much to speed up games. The wildfire suffers mainly because it lacks hardware, which can't be fixed by a rom.
Edit : I don't think most wildfire users bought it for gaming anyway. There are better phones for that.

I agree with you on that even when I purchased HTC Wildfire, I never thought it will be ever playing PS1 games. I tried PSX4DROID earlier, but it did not work for me.
As Fpse developer mentioned, he has made this even for ArmV6, which is wildfire CPU.
The point is, since I already have Wildfire now (I know I should have purchased high-end phone with double the cost of wildfire), and PS1 emulator is available for it, why not to get few games which can play decently on it. I think, the low graphic requirement games will play decently on it.
I tried Tekken, and it is playing decently, and as I mentioned earlier, Tekken 3 is playing a little bit slow (with frameskip 20), but still playable.
Edit: I think I may buy it on next payday, I would like to try out some turn based classics like Kartia.
Tekken isn't exactly low end.. its 3D... bad 3d I know lol but the geometry is all done via software on our crappy CPU. Try a 2D game. And RTFM, apparently you can tweak the configuration for better performance. Alas it is only a new emulator, maybe the dev's can future optimize the 3d software emu in time.
I'm curious though... how the heck can you put up with real-time gaming with all the buttons PSX has?!? I have a hard enough time playing Super Mario World on SNES with this touchscreen... its impossible! Though I guess a fighter game wouldn't be as twitchy hey lol

Hey, the newest version has an option to disable sound to get better fps. That will help wildfire users as well I guess.
Oh and about the touchscreen controls: you can map controls to hardware buttons like search and back.

Thanks ms_green for the info.
I confirm, with the latest FPse with sound disabled, the games are running a little bit more faster.
I tried this with Tekken 3 and also with Moto Racer, both are playable now.
There is another thing I noticed:
In some games, turning on boost mode makes a huge difference...(tony hawk 2 from 30 to around 45 fps) however it might break other games...(controls in ridge racer stop working)
To enable it, load the game and then go to settings, system.

@ms_green,
I am unable to enable boost mode, it says "IN BIOS MODE ONLY".
Can you please tell me how to enter in BIOS MODE ?
Get a PSX BIOS file and set it in the emu settings. Don't ask for a BIOS here, because that's piracy.
Thanks for the tip about boost mode. Yeah, I'm quite surprised by the performance! Legend of Kartia runs great, next I will try Alundra... so many good RPG and RTS games on PSX...
Sent from my HTC Wildfire using Tapatalk
Just to avoid confusion: a BIOS file should look like this: SCPHxxxx.bin
Instead of xxxx there are 4 numbers. So you need such a file and then choose its location in system settings.
Sent from my HTC Legend
I figured it out. In System Preferences, I had enabled HLE mode and was trying to enable Boost mode as well. If HLE mode is enabled, Boost mode cannot be enabled.
@ms_green:
Where can I enable FPS to be visible on screen ?
Yes indeed, HLE = High Level Emulation, which is what you use to ignore the BIOS file if you don't have one.
On screen FPS? Its right there in Video settings... this laziness is beyond RTFM.... lmao...

FPS option is there in v0.10.10 and I was still in v0.10.9. So, now figured it out.

I am unable to turn on boost mode. I turn off HLE mode, choose bios file, enable boost mode and when I go beck to the game I have black screen and after a while FPSE crash down.

Ultimate Galaxy S2 HD Game Compatibility Guide

Welcome to the Ultimate Galaxy S2 HD Game Compatibility Guide!!
I felt that many game comparability lists online are either out of date or providing not enough information, so I decided to compile my own list for everyone to enjoy. I am going to include HD games and other popular titles.
So here is my dedicated (and will be continuously updated ) full game compatibility list (WITH VERSIONS)
This list requires Chainfire 3D (Pro highly reccomended) to run some of the games. Plugins will be listed with each entry. Chainfire 3D can be found HERE :http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1087427
Enjoy!
NO CHAINFIRE REQUIRED :
This list is kind of a no-brainer but I thought I would include it just to be nice.

If you have anything to add that I have not included, just let me know, I will test it and include it on the list.
I do not condone piracy and will not provide links to APKs of specific versions. Thank you.
Thanks to Chainfire for making an amazing App. All of these games were tested on Touch X Power+ ROM 1.0 with Siyah's Kernel 2.0.
I install Blackstab version for S1 and it works fine on S2 with PVR plugín.
You don't need the Tegra 2 plugin for the Samauri game. There's a version on the Market that runs flawless on GSII
Dungeon Defenders First Wave works for me without any need for Chainfire 3D.
Any news about this?

Anyone else have a problem with pinball hd for tegra?
I bought it through the market and it worked great. since the last update though the menu text has vanished. see attachment
If a new version has compatibility issues, I would recommend finding an older version around the net. You already paid for it, so it isn't piracy.
Cool topic, I reserve this post and will update it as I will buy most games and test them.
What I can say so far is that every game I've tested using emulators (PSX, GBA, SNES) has worked flawlessly.
good point, thanks
Do anyone tested riptide gp 1.1? It loads for me but exit to OS when starting a race.
some of the games show messed up graphics with all whites any idea?
Can anyone confirm shadow guardian? been itching to play it
Ive got Dead Space working using Qualcomm plugin,
Need For Speed Shift also works using Qualcomm
I installed Gangstar: Miami Vindication on my SGS2 running android 2.3.3. and all 3d objects like houses, people, cars, almost everything were grayscale/ white. Houses were white boxes... Where is the problem? I have seen this for few more games. one I remember was splinter cell which was working but all was white with shadows.
Any news about Gameloft games such as Shadow Guardian,Backstab releasing for the SII?I dont want to root my device for them.waiting for their proper version for the SII
This game "Gangstar: Miami Vindication" is lagging when I use my S2 device.
People/Driving Movement is stopped intermittently.
Anyone experienced the same issue?

[Q] Weird issues with Gameloft vs Note sgh-i717?

Hello all .. i know that maybe somebody would have experienced that already but cant seem to find anything right on to help me.
I have issues with Gameloft games when trying to play them on my note, i installed chainfire3d and when i try to play some of them game here is what happen as examples.
Dungeon hunter 2 = it seems to all go as it should, but then the loading screen is too small (resolution) and then it closed and it goes back to my phone ...
Assassin's creed = everything goes good but then the game appears being too small in resolution, the graphic all crap and the controls are warped (need to touch higher in the screen to control)
Is it because the versions i got are not for our note i717 (i717M in my case) and they dont adapt to that resolution ? and if it is the case is there not a way to play with resolution to make certain app or game be in a different resolution ?
Other game i have problem with as well = Super Mario bros, backstab hd ...
The ones that seems to go good for now = eternal legacy (excellent btw eventhough the game is smaller than the screen i have), dungeon hunter 1 is all good too.
Anybody has an idea to solve my problem and have these excellent games working on our notes ?
Zykio ..
you need to get the HD version for each of those games
anything that is non HD or old HD, it will out of place

Thanks for the info, i did check and have problems with some of them even if HD
Examples : Spiderman HD has graphic distortion when on the first page of the game (maybe my files ?)
Backstab HD just close by itself
Nova 2 HD same thing .. close by itself
Avatar HD has the left side (with the virtual stick) working and image ok but the right side vitual buttons are not at the same place as shown so you have to guess where to press (again seems a resolution issue)
Is there parameter in my note that i can set for auto adjust to resolution or something or is it Chainfire3d ? or something else ?
Anybody got any more ideas? Would it be that I have to get the hd version for the galaxy note specifically?
Another example is the hd game the settlers hd that gives all white instead of proper graphic even if I've tried different combinations with chain fire 3d

[APP] Daxter on Galaxy Note II (PSP Emulator)

Need a new game to play? Something which awesome graphic? Something new? Then take a look at this
Google Play developer Henrik Rydgård has made an PSP emulator that after the last update is capable of running the game Daxter pretty well on our Note II. There is of course some minor FPS lags, and cutscenes dosen't seems to work - But it's still playable. If you've spent hours and hours of your childhood with the Jak & Daxter then you should diffently try it out
So far i've also tried these games:
Tekken 6 - Unplayable (hangs at loading screen)
God of War Chains of Olympus - Unplayable (extremly slow FPS, but works)
Emulator dosen't require a Bios, BUT it does require a ISO of the original UMD, as always DO NOT ASK FOR DOWNLOADS! Xda does NOT support piracy - You'll have to rip the UMD yourself which requires that you have access to a PSP with CFW.
If you want to support the developer there is also a donate edition of the app.
You can get the emulator here:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...t=W251bGwsMSwxLDEsIm9yZy5wcHNzcHAucHBzc3BwIl0.
NOTE - The PS3 sixaxis controller does work with this game using touch emulation.
thanks for the tip

Currently i've have only tried Daxter with success - A list can be found here:
http://www.ppsspp.org/compatibility.html
This looks promising
http://forums.ppsspp.org/showthread.php?tid=574
Very promising indeed! Best emulator project ever IMO
Tried Tekken Dark Resurrection today, there is stil some work to be done, but if you enable frame skipping it's OK in the practice level. Background music does load but only for a few seconds.
Can't wait to see the next relase of the emulator - imagining being able to just plug your Note in a HDMI dock and play tekken with your pals
Buildbot
Just found out that there is automated builds of the project - It is being updated serveral times a day so if you've got a game that currently dosen't work you should try to download one of these builds:
http://buildbot.orphis.net/ppsspp/
I've have downloaded the latest release, and it fixes the missing sound problem i was having when playing Dragonball Shin Budokai 2
There is of course still work to do, since there is some minor audio issues, but in general the is one of the most playable games (played it like for 3 hours yesterday)
So if you got it lying around grab that PSP and dumb it
On a little side note i've noticed that when using my Note 2 in the Smart Dock the performance of PPSSPP would significally drop:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=42781190#post42781190
So if you want better performance use it without the dockingstation.
Is there any game that works without any bugs or lag?
Little Big Planet seems to be working well enough

[Q] Run Gameloft games (i.e. Modern Combat 4) in sub-native resolution by purpose?

Hey guys,
I have an Xperia T with stock firmware 4.1.2 but I'm thinking about installing CM 10.1 from FreeXperia on it (not that it matters for this thread, but anyways).
It usually runs Modern Combat 4 just fine, but sometimes the framerate drops. Now, especially in multiplayer, this sucks.
The game runs in 1184x720 (1280x720 minus the menu bar) and I was wondering if it's possible to run the game at a lower resolution (for example 888x540) somehow.
I know there's also a thread on this forum how to change the graphics mode on Modern Combat 4, but that trick doesn't work for the current version of MC4 (or I didn't get it right, also I'd prefer sacrificing resolution instead of graphical effects). I have the version from the gameloft.com WAP shop.
So yeah, is it possible (and if, how)?
