I've seen a few videos of gameloft games like Brothers in Arms and nova running on the Galaxy S2, so I figured they should run on here our device no problem. But I tried to go onto the website and am not able to get the games. Does anyone know why or how I can purchase them?
I bought nova 2 on my inspire and when i got my gs2 I couldn't download them again and contacted their customer service and they emailed me the apk for nova 2 but Backstab def doesn't have a apk yet.

All the Gameloft games are compatible with our i777 phones.
I have em all.
You can have them all too by learning about torrrents
and how to use them.
(but this public forum is not the right place to learn about it.)
Gameloft has officially started supporting our device. Slowly they are adding more of their games to be fully supported for the Prime. Below you will find all the current games that are available to us:
*We now have Modern Combat 3*
- Gangstar Rio: City of Saints
- Modern Combat 3
- 9mm
- Asphalt 5 FREE
- Asphalt 6: Adrenaline
- Backstab
- Uno Free/ Paid
- The Adventures of Tin Tin
- Fantasy Town
- Gt Racing: Motor Academy Free+
- Block Breaker 3 Unlimited
- NFL Pro 2012
- Lets Golf! 3
- The Oregon Trail
- Where's Waldo Now?
- Ice Age Village
Changing the build.prop on my HP Touchpad to:
ro.product.model=GT-i9100
ro.product.brand=samsung
Allowed it to see all gameloft games in the market place and download the data. I tried this on my Prime but it doesnt seem to work...
Anyone know of a method?
I did the same thing when the apps went on sale. The crappy thing is I bought most of their games on my phone thinking I would be able to just get them in the market when I get my prime but no.
I read somewhere that you could email them and they would give you the apk's for the games you bought if you let them know your email address and your phone number. I emailed them and I'm waiting on their reply. Granted I didn't tell them its for my prime so I'll see what they say.

be careful when editing build prop. there's a guy now who his prime is in some sort of boot loop from doing the same and hasn't been able to fix it yet.
Order and Chaos wont work, the latest update broke it when i was running it on the TF101.
Previously we had to run the Xoom version of the game to get it working, but whatever they did in the update broke it
Its seriously ****e for gameloft not to support the TF. When i did some digging about on their forums, it seemed to be due to a licence problem, IE someone wanted to charge them too much to support the TF/ TFP officially.
Stupid really as im sure TF and the TFP will have a massive share in the tablet market now.

the problem is even with the APK the game does a check when it loads to see if it's compatible, i've gotten MC3 to work but other games will just tell you they aren't compatible when you load them.
it's ****ing lame of them, and i won't support them until they change their policy. ALL tegra2 compat games will work with the prime technically.
Most companies will write games to work with OpenGL ES which means they work automatically for pretty much every phone that has the hardware to support them.
Unfortunately Gameloft had it in their heads for a while that it is a good idea to write directly for each individual phone's processor instead of just creating one copy for OpenGL and being done with it. Thus massive fragmentation ensued.
Things are a little better now, they are releasing newer games directly to the market and those are generally compatible with all devices. When I got my VZW Galaxy Nexus I was very surprised to see that all my Gameloft Games installed right away without issue. (The one exception was Modern Combat 3 which was updated a week later).
I am pretty sure that the only thing keeping these games off the transformer prime is an arbitrary compatibility check. If they work on the old transformer directly from the market they should work on the prime.
Hopefully they give me the apk's, and hope they get updated to work on the prime. Seeing as this a very popular device, hopefully it won't take long. Its the only reason I bought them

maybe we should do the same like people did with Asus and bootloader. start writing them and complaining to them. that by not making their games compatible for TF/TFP devices they are missing out on a huge market share. our devices are more than capable of running their games. I have all the great gameloft games on my Ipad like Modern Combat3, Nova2, Splinter Cell conviction, and lots more. I really wish I could get them for my Prime. I think if enough TF/TFP owners complained to them then we might see the results we want pretty quickly.
Uno HD showed up on my Prime
MW3 and Asphalt 6 HD do NOT show up. which is sad. those are my fav.

Please sign the petition I started.
It's time for Gameloft to get flooded with emails and I decided on starting a petition so it's really easy for everyone to show support. Please pass this along to every forum, twitter and facebook friend you have.

I have Dungeon Hunter 2 working on my Prime, will upload pics ASAP.
And post a tut if enough people want to know how.
i wish people that had some gameloft games working would at least explain how... telling us that you have such and such game working doesnt help anyone.
please let us know if you have gameloft games working, and if so explain how.

Not with that attitude. You're acting as if people HAVE to tell you how to do something. Not gonna butter it up bud, that's a really whiny attitude.
I have successfully gotten Dungeon Hunter 2 working, but it crashes more than it should be and I'm trying a few things.
me soo sorry, just thought it would help more if those that have gameloft games working could explain how too others.
I use this build.prop mod by crossix on my acer a100 so the market thinks I have an a500. Can someone take a look at the lines if it looks like it will work on the Prime?

With this mod I'm able to see, mc3, Asphalt 6, Nova 2, backstab, Order and Chaos with my acer a100.
I purchased most of the Gameloft games during their sale (Knowing that they don't support the prime).
So far I have working :
Modern Combat 3
Spiderman HD
Hero of Spart HD
N.O.V.A 2 HD.
Not working :
Order & chaos (Downloaded data but won't update to latest version)
Asphalt 6 (Errors out whilst downloading data)
Backstab HD (Semi works - Initial download ok, game runs flawlessly though without sound (music plays, but no sound effects). After exiting and re-running the game, you have to download 2-300mb.
Dungeon Hunter - Downloaded data and installed, FC's after intro movie.
For the working games, I simply used APK's which I believe were modified for the original Transformer (Don't think I can post links, google is your friend however)
APK's will not work, unlike dead space which I can just email my samsung epic apk to the prime, install, and download sd files to play. When the gamelot apks are sent they will install and open then check the device with the gameloft servers. They then show incompatible. You can actually see the splash screen for the game in the background but gameloft is not allowing the game to go further
anyone successfully edit build.prop yet so these games will work?

Actually there's a simple work around for getting gameloft games working on Prime without editing build.prop or adding anything. As I have the new Modern Combat3 on it and it plays very well. can even play online against others. This game looks sick on Prime display.
The work around is you have to find the matching game apk. for Acer500 or Xoom device. As those have the same screen resolution. Once you get a hold of those, install, then download extra data from online. then you good to go. that simple and plays fine. Google can be your best friend
Dark Meadow is finally out, and it looks amazing.... but I don't own a Tegra-3 device (yet). It is built "built specifically for the Tegra 3 4-PLUS-1 chipset" but anyone have insight as to what that really means? We have gotten Tegra-2 games to work on non-tegra devices with the help of Chainfire and other tweeks... so any ideas as to if it is even possible to play on a Tegra-2 device? Would I just be wasting my time trying to figure out how to get it running?
I think there is a non tegra version out, both tegra version and nontegra version wont work on my tf101.
Hooray for Android gaming....
I would also like to know if this can work on non tegra with chainfire 3d D;. I can't find the non tegra version. link please?
Dark Meadow work on tf101 with the apk patched for all device without chainfire 3d.

tried modded apk with titanium backup file and modded sd files on evo 3d, does not work, it just gets to the title screen and the graphics get all garbled with and without chainfire. if anyone knows how, please post. also does chainfire work well on tegra 3 devices? does it have msaa support? thanks. you can find more info on the modded version a mobilephonetalk.com. it shouldn`t breach the forum rules as it is a free game.
Sorry for the thread ressurection, but it's the first link that comes up when googled. I figure it's best place this here for those looking to make Dark Meadow work. I spent a lot of time reading all over the place for a method on how to get it working, but the usual end to it was "It doesn't work!" ...

I managed to get it working last night on my Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 using the fixed .apk that's floating around the internet. There seems to be a lot different thoughts about how to make it work. I can say with confidence that to make it run on my tablet I needed to use Chainfire 3D with the nvidia plugin for Tegra support. Seemed that most people who did get it working without Tegra 3 devices had at least Tegra 2. I further verified the need for Chainfire 3D in that when loading Dark Meadow without Chainfire 3D the game quickly exits out after the Unreal Engine screen. When using Chainfire 3D the game continues to load and you will get the Phosphor screen. THIS is where Tegra but non Tegra 3 devices run into a problem. They get a black screen and then it closes out shortly after.
What seems to have gone unnoticed is that when the Phosphor screen loads, the main menu is loaded behind it and is very much touchable. Having gotten into the game a couple of times already by some random chance I started tapping where the START NEW GAME option is. I could hear the sound effect, but usually nothing happened after that. So I tried hitting HOME then using the task manager to return to it. I was greeted with a white screen... The start of a new game! I tried this several times to be sure, and it worked more often than not. You can from there back out to the main menu and load a saved game.
Unsure if this will work for other devices, but that's how I got it working.
Update: Tried doing the exact same thing on my Galaxy SIII phone, but it doesn't work. I did manage to get into the main menu twice out of like 40 attempts, but never got beyond that. The tapping on the lower right doesn't work in this case. When I did start a new game though I got the white screen and then choked.
I think it's worth noting the hardware in the US GS3 and Note 10.1 are different, but I believe the international GS3 has the same CPU/GPU as the Note 10.1, so it may work with that.
Good evening ladies and gents.
I'm about to jump off the fence and buy a new phone (and since I'm posting here I guess you've figured that I'm seriously considering the S3). But before I choose I want to know which games I can expect to be able to play. I stumbled onto the Tegra Zone a few months after I bought my Desire HD and was quite disappointed that it didn't support the content. I know the S3 doesn't have Tegra but stil a lot of the games are still supported/available.
I've now read through dozens of threads but I'm unable to find out how one figures out which games the S3 can run. In some cases I see thats it's just the "ultra high" setting that isn't supported (1. is this correct?). 2. Is there a different version of most games that are meant for non-Tegra devices or is it the exact game but some of which lack the highest graphics settings? Lastly: 3. Are there any games that S3 owners won't be able to play in the foreseeable future?
I would really appreciate input to any of my questions. Have a good day/night
It runs Mali-400 games and if you decide to Root just install Chainfire 3D and you can run most Tegra and any other games.
Gaming is very good. Thats all i have to say
Sorry i couldnt be of more help.
Have u tried looking on the playstore? With a friends phone or on the web page. Google searched? There is a thread about good ganes in the s3

S3 can play anything but Tegra3 Specific games, there is an app made by Chainfire it's called "Chainfire3D" where it emulates all different graphic chips in the market, so basically you can play all non-tegra and tegra games that aren't Tegra3 specifc as mentioned above. The app needs root in order to work. Dead trigger is the latest game to come out and it plays VERY nice and smooth. Shadowgun tegra2 version works, Pinball THD, Fruit Ninja THD, NBA Jam works nice PES2011, Blood and Glory work pretty well... I'm not much into gaming, those are the games I own, and I can say they are the ones that will hammer the CPU and GPU pretty good. I'm not sure what you mean with "ultra high settings" everything works. remember that the screen size is 1280x800 so some games that are made for smaller screen will have black bars or some cropping or some weird behavior, but I've only seen that on "time killer" games, can't recall which game was that showed this behavior, but still playable.
Hope that straight things out a bit for you.
Chain fire helps with some tegra games but it's not perfect eg sonic 4 ep 2 lags like treacle and some tegra games don't work at all. However the graphics hardware in the gs3 is the fastest in the world for a smartphone so there's a lot of potential. But tbh gaming without hardware buttons is pretty crap anyway.

Thank you all for your replies.
I had already read through the post you mentioned slking1989 but even though it assured me that a lot of quality games are supported it didn't give me a definite answer regarding how to determine beforehand if a game will run or not (like "system requirements" or similar). I'm guessing the reason HQ games doesn't show up in the Play store on my current phone is that it doesn't support themn thus it's no points showing them but since I don't have the phone yet I wanted to do some research.
My choice is between the S3 and the HOX but after your replies the S3 was pushed further ahead in the race (only kept back by the insecurity around Tegra games really). Now I just have to decide which color to get.
This may help u decide

Sorry if this is the wrong place for this, or even if anyone is still here, but why doesnt marvel contest of champions or angry birds transformers work on my kids GT-P7510? From nz. Thanks in advance if anyone can shed some light, or direct me in the right place. Cher.
What rom? When my tab was still in honeycomb i cant play games too.
Depends what games you're trying to play. The Tegra 2's been largely discontinued in terms of support as game makers move towards supporting newer chipsets and GPUs. It's possible that newer games simply cannot support the hardware.
Does the game just crash as soon as you start it?
