well, with all the game devs porting games (gta3 for example, its a direct port of the pc version, you can stil use all the mods and cheats on it) i was wondering: how is it done, and can it be done for any game? well, there is one game which i would pay money for to have on my htc evo 3d: Star Wars: knights of the old republic. if anyone could port this or tell me how i could seriously give them money as i would lovelovelovelove this game on my evo 3d. any dev who could do it name a reasonable price, send me a video of you playing it at a normal speed, tell me how you did it, and ill pay you.

Basically rebuilding the code to work with the Android system. Not easy, needs to be done from the ground up.
and can it be done for any game?

I'm sure it's possible for any game, but you have to think about processing power. GTA3 was a ps2 game, released in 2001, and it can BARELY run on most android devices now.

One, as stated above, that game will probably never run on an android device. And two, you are asking a LOT. It would take a team of people months, if not over a year to get it working.
Have you tried installing a bochs emulator and installing the game on the image lol :-D
Be nice to see doom the original.
Sent from the Reaper
Doom would probably be possible people already have it running on Playstation Portable if I remember correctly they even had Quake II working and I'd bet money the EVO 3d is more powerful than a PSP.
I had Doom running on my iPod Nano 1G with iPod Linux. Doom is possible and easy to port (from a developer's perspective) because it is open source and the game engine code is readily available. GTA III is closed-sourced. Rockstar did not port the game themselves; a different company did. Rockstar is the publisher and distributer.
Well, i could play the original KOTOR on a comp with much much much lower specs then my evo, and yes i tried bochs but it sucked. gta3 works swimmingly on my evo 3d, and its ported from the pc version not the ps2. thats why pc cheats work. so, as i said, any dev able could really earn some money.
Please stay on topic, i was talking about KOTOR not Doom.

I used to play the old Doom on my MOTO ROKR E6. The phone was great with only 312Mhz Intel PXA 270 processor and 4MB RAM and 8MB internal memory. It was also able to play NES,SNES,PSX,GBA etc on full speed. Duke Nukem, couter strike and old DOOM were ported to it more than 4 years ago. It was also able to run some windows versions using DosBOX. The phone was expandable upto 2GB but a kernel made it to support 32GB sdcards as well...........
The only reason for such compatibility that I can think of is that all those apps were designed to make use of the CPUs full potential.
@Arthurln3D
Try Critical strike from Android games section.....works great.
I highly doubt that the 3Ds processor and GPU are powerful enough to handle games like StarWars.
The Xperia Ray with a single core @ 1GHz play GTA 3 flawlessly, but the Gta 3 lags like hell if we run it on the 3D with both cores @ 500Mhz (Same game DATA was used in both phones)
IMO Evo 3D @ one core will lose to single core Xperias......

But porting a game to another device often requires emulation, which requires about 2-3 times the processing power as the original game did.
So again, just to be clear, unless you have say $50,000 or more to pay a team of workers, this isn't going to happen.

thats weird, my evo runs fine with gta 3. must be your evo. don't tell me that the evo runs gta bad, it runs it ine with me even at one [email protected], just tested. its definetly enough to run kotor. well, what do you have to do to port a game? how hard can it really be?

there is, there are,
depending on the type of rhodium you get. (100-500)
don't buy it if you need it for daily use, its not as far as that, and gaiming is no option and will never be!
email, office work well, calling, sms too.
batterydrain is too high, atleast charching every 12hours needed!
it is developing in huge steps but it still needs time, and it will never be like a native android phone!
but after all i love to use it as my second phone/tablet for facebookchat, email, watch ebay, regard my forums (like xda!)
for home use its okay id say.
Could you play games as temple run, angry birds, doodle jump with android on the HTC Touch pro2?

The phone can be overclocked. If you want it to be stable, I would not go above 650MHz or so, although some reported OK results at 710. Even 650 Angry Birds would be fairly slow, even with backgrounds disabled, although I have not tried at all with the latest GB builds. Even Jewels and Solitaire stutters badly at times.
GB is pretty stable on my RHOD400 (Sprint CDMA TP2), but BT does not work, and camera seemingly either. I agree with other posters that GB with the latest kernels had improved battery life quite a bit vs. FroYo.
Hope this helps.

Updating here since with 3.3.6 kernel BT and camera appear to be working.
Thanks, so it is not a good option to buy this phone for android..

It's a great option, it just doesn't fit your particular needs.
I can't imagine choosing angry birds over the best world class mobile keyboard in existence, but different strokes for different folks.
I agree with that
I think Doodle Jump actually does work. Fruit Ninja does. Angry Birds does not (crashes on startup). I don't know about Temple Run.
How about speedx?
Could you try temple run (or is it paid?)

For grins and giggles I just tried the latest update of Angry Birds 2.1.1 on Sprint TP2 oc'd to 710400. It takes a painfully long time to load, near 2-3 minutes. If you let the phone go into "light sleep" while it loads, the game crashes. If you keep it alive, then after it loads with the background disabled it is playable, although slow, and level to level transitions take long. It is better than I remember on Froyo.
I agree with others, with great keyboard, decent screen resolution, it is OK with the latest GB, especially after all the audio libraries got baked in, for text, light to moderate internet browsing, puzzle (non-graphics intensive) games, and TETHERING. GPS also works fine, with Google Maps navigation working.
Temple Run is paid on Android for some reason, free on iPhone.
I thought temple run is only for HDPI devices with QSDxx/MSM7x30 or above cpu's only?

I could swear I could see the paid version in Froyo. Just tested with GB, you are right, it does not show up in the latest Market version.
One way or another, it is a no go on this device.

If you want to play games, don't get a phone with an Adreno130... Get something with at least an Adreno200+ if you want to play recent games!
This device runs Android surprisingly well, but again if you're just buying it to run Android, don't. Buy an Android phone...

Hi All,
I'm prepared to be told this is a silly question , but thought I'd ask anyway, as googling it hasn't brought me a clear response.
I have an S3. I understand that if you have a sony xperia play, you can access the playstation store and download titles. Is there any way that this can be accessed from a non-sony phone? Like my S3!
Or is there an alternative way to play what they can play on my phone?
Hope the negative responses I'm bound to get aren't too harsh!
Thanks!
Depends on what you want to play.
There are several PSX and other emulators out there, so if you want Playstation1 you're good to go.
Playstation Store has afaik never been cracked/ported to other platforms but the underlying games could theoretically run on your device with Chainfire3d.
The Xperia Play has a Qualcom Adreno205 GPU, I'm not sure if it's supported by the generic Qualcom plugin for Chainfire3d but it might.
The question in itself isn't really silly since the Xperia Play is an ARM-based Android handset with inferior performance as compared to the S3 so there is no obvious reason why a port should not work. If you'd ask how to get your PS-Vita games to run on the S3 that would be another question but the Vita also runs on ARM so... =)

Thanks, I'd thought about a PS1 emulator. But thought it might be easier to get the games from PS Store if they're there for the taking!
What's Chainfire3D? App? Mod?
Thanks again for your help
Chainfire3D is an app/mod requiring root which can emulate the graphic engines of other phones so as to be able to play games not officially released for the platform or which are only available in a lower resolution.
It is mostly used to play Nvidia Tegra1/2 (THD) games on the performance-wise superior but less hyped Mali GPU in our S3.

Chainfire3D sounds interesting. I've not come across a game I've wanted to play that was incompatible, but nice to know there are options out there.
So with this method I could play incompatible games, or as you previously suggested I could use an emulator, which are perfectly acceptable as I'm not a HUGE phone gamer, but thought I might as well abuse the tech I now have!
But no known way of accessing and downloading games from the playstation network?
Probably a question for the Xperia Play forums but, is it only PS1 games that they have access to? No playstation network exclusives games like Journey, or PixelJunk Monsters?
Nearly resolved just need the following confirmed :
1.Shadowgun/Dead Trigger works smoothly.
2.Temple Run works flawlessly.
3.1280x720(yes 720p) mp4,mkv,m4v videos play via stock player smoothly(i.e video&audio in sync , no artifact in videos)
4.Does the phone feel slow or lagging.
Thanks for your time & help.
Answers :
1.Yes
2.Yes
3.Yes with mx player not stock player cause it plays via software decoding (cpu supports it so no problem) not h/w...
4.No
Games that are confirmed to work smoothly :
Asphalt 7
Shadowgun
Dead Space
temple run
Dragon Fly
World of Goo
Draw Something
Cut the Rope
Angry Birds
Triple Town
Amazing Alex
Doodle Jump
Riptide GP
Hi, i tested this games:
Dragon Fly, World of Goo, Draw Something, Cut the Rope, Angry Birds, Triple Town, Amazing Alex, Doodle Jump... OK
GTA III - problem, after one minute game crashed and phone was automaticly restarted.
Do you want watching 720p? I think One V will be better choice for watching 720p.
It's a nice gaming phone, if you don't play anything too heavy. :fingers-crossed:

Exactly, there isn't much else anyone can say to answer your question, other then to send a complaint to the makers of those games.
The video on youtube you keep referring to shows a Samsung Galaxy S3 having trouble with those games. Now remember, just buying a Samsung Galaxy S3 will set you back about 50% of the money a desktop pc would cost that IS able to run more demanding 3D graphics and better suited to play games that have those graphics.
Now I have nothing against gaming, I do it myself all the time, but I do it on my home pc, which is much more comfortable. The makers of these games are not going to spend the amounts they do on desktop versions of their games for the development of phone versions of their games, because the market is much smaller and the price they can ask it is much lower. I understand you're angry that you spent (unless you just downloaded a cracked apk lol) money on them, but I'd stick to simpler ones if you really want to game on your phone. Just for kicks, I tried Punch Hero and it ran just fine. Reminded me of playing Punch-Out on the Nintendo 8-bit as a kid.

If you check the forum, you'll find another post about this ...
To my experience, bottom line on the Desire X and video : the Desire X plays up to 1080p, both streaming and from storage, without problems. I tested different media players, best ones are MX Player and Vplayer and tested all resolutions. In mp4 format, playing from storage, most of the players have audio/video sync issues. Not in flv 1080p, so it's down to the software. Streaming, just using stock Youtube app, all of them work fine.
When specs say the Desire X supports only up to 480p, it just means that's it's native resolution (800x480), but it'll play higher resolutions without a problem, depending on the media player, the format and whether it's streaming or from storage.
That's from my experience. Hope that's on topic enough for ya.

So I am thinking of getting a new phone, probably either this, something with Helio X25 or the MI Max with 652 and would like a phone that could do at least a bit of gc/Wii emulation (mostly go cause I'm not too fond on wii games anyway) and was wondering how this does, could someone perhaps make a video of dolphin running on this for me?
The main games I'm mostly interested in playing are the Tales of one for GC and Sonic Adventure 1/2.
Thanks in advance.
