[Q] Does the new Worms game actually work??? - Android Apps and Games

I noticed that it has a TON of 1 stars for crashing and simply not running on a lot of devices, has anyone had any success with it yet, and if so what phone are you using?

Not for me. Opens the splash screen, says 'License Start', and then closes. I can't get a refund now either because I refunded it once so I could try installing it again, but it still doesn't work and now I'm stuck with it.

download the missing files from the internet (just use google) and put them in the right folder on the internal sd card.. The downloader used in the game doesn't download all the necessary files for some reason.. The game itself is really fun and just like any other worms game. Best game for android for me

Works great for on my phone.

xperia play help please

hi,just got one of these swapped my iphone 4 for it,is it worth putting the emulator FPSE on my phone ive checked the update and im up to date and is it a lot of hassle installing this to my phone and can it brick it ???
Just download fpse using the android market and I don't see how it could brick your phone as it's just another app.
hi,im new to this phone & im hoping i made a good choice swapping my beloved iphone 4 for this,so far i like it but the brightness is terrible is there a way of making it brighter as its very dull,and how do u get the games once u install fpse ?
Proof indeed that owning an iPhone melts your brain!
1) Install fpse
2) Google "playstation iso"
3) Download games you already own, (obtaining games you have never bought is illegal)
4) Follow the fps bios instructions, follow all legalities
5) Run the game
6) Have some fun
Once you get used to the emulator scene you will love it. If you aren't able to follow instructions very well and occasionally do your own research on guides already written, and do indeed come to the conclusion you have an iphone 4 brain washed grey matter residing in your skull, then go back to the iphone
hi,i purchased fpse but ive forgot what the bios instructions are ?
it came up when i first started the app but it no longer comes up when i start it,should have bloody wrote it down any ideas please ?
It should be in the settings. You point fpse to the bios file.
settings inside fpse ? if so i dont have settings inside the app
You should be able to press the menu button (between home and search) and from there go to settings.
U have to download a bios file called scp1001 something like that, and move it in the directory of where your ps roms are kept, hope this helped

Peggle available from Amazon, but Amazon claims it's not compatible with SGT

Today the 21th in the Amazon Appstore the free-for-a-day game is Peggle! However, even just trying to see the info, or maybe read the reviews, or look at the screenshots rudely pops up the message Not Compatible... And downloading it from the appstore is of course out of the question.
First, change the title to say Peggle, not Pegger...
Secondly, I just got done playing a few levels on my Tab... With a little know how posts like this wouldn't be relevant... (Like the Plants vs. Zombies post... "OMG!! IT'S OUT BUT IT DOESN'T WORK FOR TAB!!" ... Or netflix... same deal)
The trick would obviously be to make the market think you are on a different device... Changing your build.prop is quite simple (assuming root is in place), and this is what you need to change in order for the market to not think your device is what it really is... Mine was "My Wall" for a while to download Peggle.
Than, just to be safe, fire up Chainfire 3D and load up the Tegra 2/Nvidia driver, runs smooth as butter...
It's not wise to change your build.prop to much because a lot of programs revolve around it (such as swype's configuration/save files)
ALWAYS back up ANYTHING you change in your root folder... copy the build.prop over to your sd card in a backup folder before changing it.
p.s. I'm not responsible nor liable for anything you do to your device because of what you read here... I'm just a conduit of information. I also will likely not help you with any "OMG MY TAB IS BRICKED" posts because of this... If you are brave enough to change anything in your root folder, than you should do your RESEARCH!
I've changed the title, what was I thinking? Anyway, I admit was hoping somebody knowledgeable would know a way to circumvent that message, and tell us.
I have found system/build.prop, but what property did you change in that file to change the model? I noticed a number of GT-P1000's Do all of them need to be changed? You changed it to "My Wall"? Does it need to be that, or is it anything but SGT?
Thanks!
I downloaded it onto my sgs2, and then just sent it via bluetooth to my tab. Works perfectly.(I do have amazon appstore installed on both my devices.)
You are on the right path, I changed the first 3 references (maybe 4) toward the beginning of the file. Please be sure you back the file up unchanged on your sd card. When you've downloaded the game I recommend going back to that original file.
You can change it to whatever you want.

Using the Amazon app store, I added the game on my Vibrant.
Then went to the tablet's Amazon app store and clicked on the install button.
It didnt complain about anything and installed fine.

Yup, there are various ways to trick it into working... I don't have a second device that supports it, so I just did it "the hard way" I suppose.
The initial check is right as you click download... so bypassing it on one device than downloading on another is logical... Kind of like the PSN store and multiple PS3's.
Paraphrasing my comments over at Amazon to add this forum's conversation...
I've got a Galaxy Tab (SCH-I800) and I was being told I can't use this with my Tab. What the hell?? How do you write a game that can't run on a Galaxy Tab?
Anyway, I "purchased" it on the web site using my laptop computer and the Amazon website, went back to the Tab and installed it from my available-to-download apps and it installed fine and it ran just fine.
I've played Peggle on my Xbox 360 and on my Nintendo DSi before as well, but this Android version feels a little sloppy (the opening dialog asking for username is blank, the music doesn't loop properly--it plays out and fades, then restarts--as if it's repeatedly playing an audio track that fades at the end). Otherwise, gameplay works great, zoom-in works great, etc. I don't understand why it's been blocked from installing on a bunch of systems that clearly are able to run it just fine. (another fellow with an Asus eee Transformer in another review had the exact same problem and suggested that way around the block that I described earlier.) Am I overlooking some detail as to why we're being denied this from these devices?
btyork, I'll keep that build.prop in mind, I have a feeling that may come in handy. It wasn't needed this time though, because the other-phone-trick worked beautifully. It worked just like ipnekgs described. I just installed the appstore on the wife's SGS, logged in with my account, and downloaded Peggle on it without a hitch. After that I switched back to my Tab, and Lo!, it was ready for installation on the SGT. Lovely!
I AM intrigued by stoney73's remark... Can you install an app on one phone and then send it by bluetooth to another one? Or just download the app instead of installing it? How does that work, does an installation from the appstore leave a file behind somewhere? I'd love to know where!
Thanks guys!
BTW, I'm not claiming it doesn't run on our beloved Tab, Amazon refuses to install it, claiming it's Not Compatible. In cases like this I always like to try it out myself, to see if the claim is true, as often it isn't. Chuzzle for instance definitely has graphical problems, but perseverance paid off with Peggle, as it runs beautifully, no problems at all so far (though I've played just a couple of levels). I wonder what possesed Amazon to refuse us even to download it. I've haven't seen that one before, and I've downloaded quite a few apps.
'Buying' it from the website and then installing it from 'my apps' on the tab worked here.
It may not be fully compatible with a stock galaxy tab.. I have had zero problem with it running on my tab using overcome hermes and chainfire 3D using the nvidia driver...

Same for me, played quite a few levels with no issues. I have the Alpha HC ROM installed on my SGT
Maybe it's an error. My Tab is rooted, but apart from that it's stock: not flashed, no Chainfire3D, just stock JMK, but Peggle seems to work flawlessly.
It works perfectly fine on the Tab. I have played a couple hours of it with no problem.
I did have to "buy" it from my Nexus One, but then I was able to install it on my Tab right from the Amazon app. The download took forever.

The same has happened with a few android market apps, which then require the workaround, and end up working perfectly.

trying to get this to run on the leaked ICS rom , I guess it isn't compatible yet , keep getting an error when I try to open a ROM , ERROR: File not found or CRC32 not correct "GFX1"
Im downloading the roms directly through the app, and no joy.
EDIT: Just got it to work, grabbed the rom from another site , had to double check the size of the file and it worked.
yeah you must not give up. you have to find the right rom that works with this emulator. some roms are just clones. Has anyone found a working copy of street fighter 3?
So far I got Marvel vs Capcom, Street fighter Alpha 2, Xmen Children of Atom, Xmen vs street fighter, and Alien vs Predator working

What you need to do is get an emulator (an application that does what the original console/system would do, "emulating it") from the Android Market or grab some of these ones (they work well): http://apps.tigerplay.info/, copy the APK ("installer") to the phone's SD card, then use a file explorer to navigate to and install the emulator.
The other thing you need is the ROM, which is a dump of the game/content for a system. It's not legal to post them here but google can help with this, SNES ROMs end in .SMC for example, CPS (the Capcom games mentioned here) have a lot of files and the emulators just open up the .zip they come in (keeps things more organised), Gameboy Advance .GBA, Nintendo NES .NES.
Try googling "Super Mario World ROM" for example (being wary of dodgy sites) or if you know BitTorrent then you can usually get packs containing every ROM for the system.
Generally what you'll do is put the ROMs in a folder on the phones SD card, open the emulator and browse to the ROMs folder and open a ROM. Because the Xperia Play has hardware buttons you should turn off the on-screen overlay/buttons because you'll have actual buttons you can use, then go to map the buttons to the buttons on the controller.
Some emulator's you'll need to play with the graphics or frameskipping settings to get them running smoothly.
Good luck and hopefully you'll get it going!

[Q] Help me get Monopoly working on my Tablet!

Hi,
Hoping someone with experience on apps and development can help.
I bought Monopoly for my Android Tablet.
If I'm running ICS, I get a connection failed when it tries to download the extra files. Basically download bar stays at NAN and times out. So I downgraded my tablet to GB and managed to install the App.
However, due to the spec of my Tablet (not great) the game crashes. Even with using Chainfire 3D drivers and tweaking. I can prolong the crash, but it does crash!
I then installed the game on my Desire HD and noticed that it was a lower spec'd version, i.e. Handset version.
So I copied the download files from my DHD to the Tablet.
The game now loads and will probably work better as it's not a HD Tablet version and uses less memory, but the text is all messed up and unplayable.
I think there should be an easy fix and just some missing files or fonts. But I don't know where to start looking.
Can someone please help? Guidance would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Kiz

[Q] Compatibility of games

Hey I was just wondering, some of the really cool games like iron man 3 and real racing 3 isn't compatible with the tf700. Would these games work if I were to root it. Or is there any other way for these games to work. Thanks a lot
Iron man 3 works, playing it now.
Rooting it won't make a difference. It won't suddenly become compatible in the play store.
Iron Man 3 plays fine, can't speak for Real Racing, not my type of game.
You have two options:
- Sideload it. Buy it on another device and transfer it to your TF700.
- Alternatively, there are thousands of websites who offer the apk. That's all I can say about it as per the rules on the board, I'm afraid. I know it's not ideal, and I don't particularly like the solution myself, but the developer doesn't provide another option, it's their own fault. If you want to know more, let me know (send me a PM).
I saw the option for side loading on my recovery and wasn't sure how it works. Would the function be similar to backing up an application in say, titanium back up, transferring that file to another device, and then running titanium again to install it? Or does it run the apk from there? Either way, these options may not work for games that connect to a server and check the compatibility of your tablet. That would require build changes in your system. I think Gameloft does this type of check. I was unable to transfer one of their games from my phone to the tablet for this reason.
I downloaded from the play store onto my Acer A500 and then backed up the app with ES File Explorer. Then copied the backed up apk to my tf700, installed it, and it downloaded all the needed files. Runs fine.

Correct again. As far as Gameloft goes (I haven't played that many games on the 700) that would suck even harder because they a) make AAA-rated and popular games, and b) they are the main culprits in not properly identifying compatible devices (I believe most of their games run just fine when sideloaded, however).
I was unable to transfer one of their games from my phone to the tablet for this reason.

Obviously, you mileage may vary.
Compatibility of games
I've come across this problem a few weeks ago when trying to purchase Machinarium, which also identifies as incompatible.
I'm thinking it would be in ASUS' interest to have developers correctly identify their apps/games' compatibility with the TF700. Could we perhaps start a list of incorrectly identified compatible games from the Play store, and then could someone forward it to an ASUS representative?
My contribution:
- Machinarium
I side loaded the Real Racing 3 .apk
And its HORRIBLY broken, textures all over the place and sub 20fps to almost stuttering at times.
