Hi guys, I can get dundef to work reasonably well on some 2.2 roms....but it completely fails on other roms.
Could you please reply if you have it running well, or at all on your X10 and with what ROM and game settings?
Thanks.
Which 2.2 are you using? on my x10i it doesn't run, on all roms :-(
Perhaps it's a prob of my sd-card ..... only "class2-16gb"

Dungeon Defenders: First Wave Deluxe HD content for Tegra 2 powered devices!
its for nvidia tegra 2 devices the x10 doesnt have the right hardware to play it !
@dartsma
X10 obviously doesn't have Tegra 2, but every version of Dungeon Defenders worked well on my phone with Z's Froyo Beta 4. It would by probably even faster if I had better SD card (I've got 8GB class 2 righ now). The last verion I tried was 5.02, but I haven't noticed any significant improvement in performance nor anything else since version 2.05 (or whatever it was). But it's quite a good game and it may be fun to play it online.
Worked perfectly when I was using it I'm on beta3

Actually it can run very well on x10 hardware, just that some roms run it better than others.... and some can't run it at all. I have it running on beta 4 2.2 rom, MIUI rom won't start the game as it doesn't recognise the game licence, and 2.3 roms force close the game instantly.
I got dungeon defenders runnning on custom 2.1 rom
Has Anyone got TegraZone games to play on ANY ROM for the G tablet?
I'm running Fruit Ninja THD, Samurai 2: Vengence, and Dungeon Defenders: First Wave all on my gTab which is running VEGAn 5.1.1 without any hacks or mods beyond the rom itself.
They all run fine here..running Calkulin rom....no tweeks/hacks needed.
Good to know. Thanks much guys.
I wonder if any Ginger ROMs can run them. I would guess not without hardware acceleration though.

They all work fine on TNTLite 4.40. No hacks needed.
somebody help me, I can't download any games from tegra zone (not even free ones), it says "the requested item could not be found". I'm running vegan tab 5.1 beta. Is there any ways to fix it like we did with the android market

They run fine. Hardware acceleration only applies to videos. Not 3D rendering.

Got more to back up that "BS" opinion? Has anyone complained of poor play on CM7 or Vegan Ginger? The games play fine for me on CM7.0.3.
Are you having trouble getting them to show up in the Market? Because that's a different question.
@spammhead
For myself and a friend (3 tablets - one from Sears, one from electroniccrap.com, and one from Woot!) we found that in Hero of Sparta, Hawx, Quadrant tests, and a few other games - the ones mentioned stand out the most in my memory, would not display all textures is maps unless we were running a FroYo build with full acceleration. I think Sandstorm was another that had trouble.

While I would have put it more diplomatically you are correct. While 3D games "work" on GB roms they do not have the same visual texture as when running on one of the popular FroYo roms. I have two gTabs one running VEGAn 5.1.1 and the other running CyanogenMod 7.0.3. They both have their uses.
I noticed no change in 3d textures on games like Dungeon Defenders and Samurai II when moving from 2.2 to 2.3 (CM7, nightly 85). The only issues were with the videos for Dungeon Defenders, but those are all resolved now. Riptide runs perfectly and looks just like it does in Youtube videos I've seen of it, so I'm not sure what you're talking about as far as different visual textures. I think the only hardware acceleration that's missing is in high def videos, but OC'd at 1.4, software does everything I can throw at it fine in Moboplayer.
EDIT: Added a screenshot from Riptide. Does it look different than it does on 2.2? Please post a screenshot from the same map (Twister) so I can compare.
EDIT again: Added more screenshots. Samurai II, Pinball HD, Dungeon Defenders. I want to note that in all these games, I was more interested in taking the screenshot than I was in playing. I don't suck *that* bad.
OK, so you may be missing some fine texturing, but gameplay is not affected enough to merit a warning against buying the game to play on Gingerbread.

If I'm missing texturing, I'm not seeing it. Otherwise, with the currently nightly of CM7, the video issues (like the opening video in Dungeon Defenders) that appear in Vegan Ginger aren't present, so yeah, I think it's fair to say that the "Ginger isn't good for games" factor is wrong.
The only thing that drives me nuts about CM7 right now is the boot times.
after having played many tegra games on froyo and gbread, I have never noticed texture differences or anything else. the latest libraries in cm7 and aosp work wonderfully for everything I have tried.
Tegra Zone loaded and Dungeon Defender works on (gasp) stock 3588.
Hi to all. Guys, what about tegra games on Honeycomb? On my G Tablet with [ROM][BL1.1] GtabComb alpha1.6 for Bootloader 1.1 Gtablet these games didnt work. When I tried install any tergra games I get error.
Any ideas?
P.S. Sorry for my English, I am from Russia.
Modern Combat 4: Zero Hour is on the horizon. I'm really hoping the galaxy player can handle it as modern combat I think is the best game from Game loft. What are your thoughts on MC4 and it running on the player?

Agreed, a mod needs to place this in the General section.
On topic: Games work on the Samsung Galaxy Player? While I joke a bit, I am serious at the same time. The only games I have been able to run on the Samsung Galaxy Player are the Rovio games (angry birds, alex) and Sonic CD aka 2d games. Games I use to play on Android that were my favorite were Dead Space, Mass Effect Infiltrator, Need For Speed Hot Pursuit, and numerous other richly graphical games just run out of memory, freeze, crash, or reboot the device. This could be because almost every custom rom breaks games in general on the Galaxy Players - I'm on the Ethereal Rom only to have better battery life.
I'm only holding out because I don't want to set up everything again and await the ICS rom/kernal us 4.0 users have been patiently waiting for.
Stock rom btw has everything working because I played them before rooting - especially the games I mentioned above. If anything, if the ICS rom/kernal doesn't meet my expectations - I'll revert back to stock and stay there with a custom Launcher like Go or Holo, only to keep root and use Klin R3 or Terrasilent for kernal to have Voodoo.
So imo, if you have a custom rom on your device, don't count on MC4 to work... MC3 doesn't...
Yes. I do find that (no offence devs) that my performance has dropped a bit on the gaming side of things. However Asphalt 7 runs real nice and before I switched to Remics-UX Nova 3 was smooth as well. However Modern Combat 3 dosn't start at all anymore. But it wasn't the smoothest of all games. It only ran smooth on 2.3. MC4 Looks only a little better graphicsso it might run but I have that gut feeling. I sometimes think "why don't I switch back to 2.3"? And it's hard not to.
help crash
so i bought MC4 for my galaxy note n7000 , and the game loads fine but when i start to play it.. and i click the start button at the beging of the first level it loads then when i push the button it just crashes. does anyone have any advise for me.. please.

Technically this isn't the note forum but are you running a custom ROM?
I succeeded it running on Nebula ICS, It walks fine but when in some conflict area, it is so laggy. I think trying it with linrom would be good.

THREAD CLOSED FOR SO MANY REASONS....
Hello All,
I was wondering how to improve the performance on games such as mc3, horn, and other high graphic games? I heard from someone that ics roms run games faster than gb , and that you also should overclock your device using an app called tegrak overclock. So my question is this: how well does our player run games, and if so how to make the games run smoother or better. Thanks!:laugh:

(This thread should have been posted under Questions, just so you know.)
The Player 4 and 5 both use an SGX540 running at 200MHz. I have both NOVA 3 and MC3 on my Player, and it seems to me that Gameloft has definitely not optimized their Android games as well as they could (example: the 4th generation iPod Touch has a weaker SGX530 GPU and less RAM, yet MC3 runs better).
That said, I have seen people overclock the SGX540 in our Exynos 3110 to anywhere from 210-250MHz. If someone can implement this to a Player kernel, we should be able to do the same, and probably reduce some lag.
As far as Android version- from what I understand (and this may not be correct), 4.0 uses more RAM, so some games might work better on 2.3. I have also seen many reports that Gameloft's games do not work well on 4.0 (more lag and/or crashing), but they may have been updated to fix these issues.
I'm running Android 4.0. I've got an overclock to 1.2GHz. I have set the maximum number of background tasks to only allow 2. This has pretty much completely fixed any lag i've had whatsoever. Even on 2.3! I have MC3 and Nova 3 and they both run fine with the odd jitter every 10 mins but you can expect that with any device. I also bought Gangster Rio but I haven't tried that on Remics UX yet. It ran terrible last time Si used it on ICS Crumble but I didn't have the Background process limit set then so i'll get it and i'll see how it gose. But if you've got ICS Seriously, you will be amazed at what difference it makes. I just hope Modern Combat 4: Zero Hour will run as smoothly!

I think this is part of the problem; our forum doesn't have a dedicated Q/A section like most do. For all you people uncertain; ALL QUESTIONS GO IN GENERAL. Never ever post a question in development.

I highly doubt it will run at all, unless Gameloft has a version with highly toned-down graphics. NOVA 3 with all effects and graphic elements set to high is nearly unplayable (though it looks incredible), and we know MC4 is more graphically advanced than N3. Even if these Players had a better GPU, though, RAM would still be an issue, and Gameloft might even skip on a PowerVR-optimized MC4 anyways.
I am making custom kernel atm, show me an example of overclocked gpu that we have. Afaik the were tryind to do so with i9000 without success

Nova 3 is much more playable for me on GP5 then on Nexus 7 ,you cant set video options so gamelooft set it for you in some awful retarded way and nova 3 lags heavy on mu nexys 7 even its quad core with tegra 3 ,on sg5 graphics is worster but plays smoth.

If you look around, you'll see that just about anyone with a Tegra 3 device and a Gameloft game has the same problem. Either the Tegra 3 has a weak GPU, Gameloft fails at optimizing their games, or both.
If you set the graphics of NOVA 3 on the Player to the same level as on the N7, the game becomes unplayable, even though it has to push a much lower resolution. Tying that back in on-topic, as MC4 has more advanced graphics than NOVA 3, it is probably not going to work with the Players.

tegra 3 has very good gpy and with custom kernel you can overclock gpy to blow every other curent android device away..but that gamelooft are so ret..is it so hard to add video options like in every pc game or gta for android ..that is one day job..

A one day job? One day to re-do / re-render ALL the textures and models ? Also some games DO have options , like Max Payne.

I can run Nova with no lag. The thing that was causing the problem I think was the RAM until o set it to 2 background tasks. And also SWAP file support could be another thing to work on to gives more than a 1GB or RAM.

Its not one day..its one HOUR job..the game has allready options because every game engine has video option..but with a gamelooft you have to extract option file from ogg file then change on off what you thing ..save and then recreate ogg file again..And only game that gice options is rock star ..they are only developers with brains in android world for now..and off course there is no need to recreate textures..its one command in opengl.

I can run it with no lag, too. NOVA 3 for our Players has all the graphical effects disabled, but when they are turned on, the lag is unbearable, which is what I was talking about (I'll make a video showing this). Tying that back in, since MC4 has these graphical effects by default plus a new graphics engine, either the game will not work at all (read: to laggy to play), or Gameloft will greatly downscale the graphics for us (unlikely).

Install Chainfire3d from the Market. Open it, install the driver, reboot, and it should be good to go.
However, a few warnings. Campaign will not work, at all. The only way for the game to load and be somewhat playable is to do a local WiFi multiplayer match with just yourself. I also recommend letting it sit for a minute or so after the map (pick a relatively small one) has loaded.
So no campaign? Oh well I'm completely stuck on a mission anyway ha ha.

Well, with the full graphics, the game lags too much when doing anything (except for walking around) for the campaign to be playable.
in some games, it thinks i have a controller attached to my device, when i haven't, esp in gameloft games.
in some of them it doesn't matter because i can play normally, but in others i cant do a thing and i haven't figured it out how to solve it.
has anyone encountered with this problem? which games? does anyone have a workaround?
some of the games that had this problem for me:
modern combat versus
dungeon hunter 5
sniper fury (unplayable)
impulsion (unplayable)
No one even bothered to see this post?
I didn't try those games but with Gangstar New Orleans (also from Gameloft) it doesn't happen, it works well.

Tried it in miui 9
Didn't use the game when using aosp roms sorry.
Just tested on eu rom, miui based, and it had no problem
Its really odd, all of the aosp based roms or kernels have this problem, android 7 and 8, at least those ive tried, about 15 of them, and miui doesnt.
Is it related to kernel? Has no one even noticed this bug? Really no one played gameloft games on an aosp based rom?
