What is Chainfire3D app? - Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A

Chainfire3D
Did anyone use it in this forum? If used, any performance gains or any issues faced?
Please reply...

ChainFire let you run specific graphical apps (like games etc.) but its not for video perfomance boosting at all It emulates shaders processing, so you could run Tegra or PowerVR games on Snapdragon devices. Using with SK17i, no bugs, all works fine.

Hi
I had it for some times (but never used a proper game to test it).
I just remember that I had some GUI graphc elements really stretched and messed up, did not know why...
I uninstalled Chainfire3D driver and all turned normal...

Ok, thanks for the info. Yeah, I just wanted to know that if it boosts performance or not. .

Depends en the game, if it's Hd or heavy,you can reduce the graphics and play games very heavy and incompatible with ours devices

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.
(try using frameskip)

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.

[Q]cricket fever 3D not working..

cricket fever 3D is not working in galaxy s 2. Guys i know this must be because of the Mali GPU as opposed to nvidia's. I heard there certain people who have problems with some of the games. I can launch the game but screen turns blank when i get to the play screen. I can hear the sound though. I am sure it must be some graphics issue. Is there any work around for this.???
Also do we have any fix for the sound ??? I mean something like Voodoo sound control app.
Use chainfire 3d
You can install chainfire 3d from the market. For that you have to be rooted first. After that install the default plugins and choose nvidia from the options. This way you can always play nvida, qualcom or power vx specific games.

White textures problem in Gameloft games

Hi.
In several (paid) Gamloft HD games I see all or most white textures instead of buildings and characters.
I am with SG SII with Cognition ROM 1.08 and tried installing Chainfire 3D drivers but no luck.
Can anyone know how to solve this issue ? thanks...
Anyone ? any ideas ?
Happening to me too. Even with backbreaker games. If anyone can shed some light..?

Exynos has only very basic/standard texture compression , tegra games most of them just use better texture compression and there is no other special proprietary features , few games do but that is besides the point, some none tegra games can also utilize it.
Just load the plugin, also some games work better under different plugin like powervr ect. Trying only takes 10 seconds tops. OP should have mention what games he is having problems , i tried few GT racing works with tegra plugin for example, without plugin i get white textures.
I have a Galaxy S II as well and I'm on the stock rom and facing the same issue. Also tried installing Chainfire 3D from the market but it did not make a difference. phone issue?
Experts... please help!
I came across http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1087427

Best playstation emulator?

Are there any playstation emulators that are working on the galaxy tab 10.1? All of them seem to have weird sound or poor fps. I think psx4droid worked on the xoom, but it's not playing nice on here.
Would also like to know this. Psx4droid just doesn't run any roms, and Fpse works, but lots of frame rate and sound issues running FFVII ( which according to the internets, is one of the best running roms out there).
I've seen it running really well on a phone, don't see why it should run badly on a more powerful device.
using FPse with Crash bandicoot and it works fine for me !
After I updated to Touchwiz UX FPSE started working alot better for me. Before I wasn't getting any sounds in FF9 and the sounds during regular gameplay were very choppy. Now I am getting 52-60 fps and sound emulation is great.
+1 for FPSe
Went through many emulators and the is by far the best.
Using an older version of psx4drioid (pre v2) works the best on tegra devices, havent tried it yet on my GT but on my old g-tablet it was the best emulator. Version 1.2 or 1.5 if I recall correctly.

honycomb does not play nice with psx4droid
use FPSe
- download scph1001.bin from the net
- go to FPSe settinges
- than system
- bios loading and choose scph1001.bin
- restart FPSe
- enjoy with the almost 100% working games with sound and everything
I've found most RPG games have messed up sound with FPSe, anyway to fix this issue? Final Fantasy 7,8,9
whenever i get ff9 fpse wont load it, where are you guys getting your working roms from?
Fpse is the freaking best man, it even works flawlessly on my nexus s
+ 1 fpse
I wish I could get FPse working for me, I have the correct Bios, but when I load any game it shows a black screen for 30 seconds and then force closes. I know the roms are working because they work with PSX4droid (however PSX4droid randomly crashes and sound clips). Do you think its because I'm using the Starburst ROM? Or possibly I have a bad bios file?
FPSe loads FF9 fine if I have the BIOS file loaded, except:
1) Graphics look like crap. There are settings that VASTLY improve graphics quality but these make it laggy/choppy
2) No sound in many areas. Basically, there is no background music
Well FPSe is working great in terms of frame rate and all that ... But yeah getting a weird sound issue where the music in FFVII seems to be chopped off a little.
Notes don't' seem like they are completing or something. Kind of weird.

Runs perfectly smooth with no slowdown in FMV sequences? Because I am not having a similar experience. I have messed with the settings a lot, and I can get generally smooth gameplay and battle sequences (50-60fps) but I cannot keep the FMV scenes from being stuttery/jerky at time.

I have spusync option on under audio and frame limiter + frame skip 50fps. With these settings i get smooth gameplay in any game I have tried including FFVII and FMV scenes.
Try it out, the frame skip 50 fps allows some games to run normal for some reason with out any jerky gerky. (make sure frame limiter is active)
Happy gaming!

Games seriously laggy (Let's Golf 3, Wind up Knight)

I have an Xperia Ray and the two games I mentioned above lag and drop frames to the point of making the games unplayable. Is there something wrong with my device? Is this normal? Does it work well on the Minis or other SE devices with similar specs?
It's really annoying, especially in Wind Up Knight as it makes the game unplayable.
I'm on stock Gingerbread, and I overclocked to 1.4, but the games are still laggy as ****.
You need to have enough free RAM also.
I usually go to Android Applications-Running Services and just close some unneeded ones to free up RAM for the game.
I agree with the above post. I've played Wind Up Knight on stock .62, TEAM Rom Beta4, and TEAM Rom v1.
Might check and turn off some persistently running apps. I only played it after root, removing unwanted apps, and having all my apps set the way I want. I only have a few persistent apps and they don't do much anyhow, everything else is set to only do something when I tell it to and I haven't had a problem running the game.
Hmm, actually with Wind Up Knight, I had to update the game. After the update it runs a lot smoother. At least it's playable.
What about those Gameloft HD games? I tried Let's Golf and Asphalt 6, and they both run at <30 FPS, more like 15-20FPS at best. I'm on stock rom and I removed everything I don't use (including every Facebook related app since I don't use it), closed unneded services, and closed every other app before starting the games.
Maybe those games are too much for our puny Adreno 205s. Hopefully they were both free (Asphalt is free through Getjar).
wind up knight doesnt lag on my sk17i .58 stock rom
Last time I tried Asphalt 6, was it incompatible with my LWW.
That was according to Android Market...
EDIT: Android Market says compatible, game itself says incompatible.
