[Q] Tegra powered games on Nexus S

Is it possible to run THD certified games on Non- Tegra devices

in the tegra zone app,it says that those games are only optimized and meant for tegra devices, so dont think they will work on normal devices, but someone should give it a try...maybe they will work and v may have some graphical improvements for us too !(fingers crossed)...

I think it will be possible somehow. Maybe it won't run as smooth as butter but the SGX540 gpu is nearly as good as the ulp geforce gpu and if you do some overclocking to 1.4 ghz it should be able to run al those games pretty good.

it shoould be possible

Any progress on this? Did anyone try it?

[Q] Tegra Zone not compatible?

I thought this phone had tegra inside. Why can't I download any tegra games (pinball) or use the Tegra Zone?

It's a Qualcomm Snapdragon processor, not the Nvidia Tegra 2

Why in the world did I think this was a Tegra? Dang. Buyer's remorse.

if the sensation was tooted, we could play some (most of ?) Tegra games on our devices, unsing Tegra fix, Chainfire 3D drivers, etc
So far, and as I had no choice, I just found a "special" version of Pinball HD for Tegra2, that is compatible with non-Tegra devices.
So yes, I installes a warez, blame me, fire me, but I didn't have choice, I would have bought this game if my Sensation had been rooted and then I could get this game legally.

Tegrazone
Hmm i can install the tegra zone... and the game "Dungeon Defenders" works good...
i dont know why the tegrazone are @ the market 4 me )
games like samurai II vengance are only locked but playable with patches from XDA (i think)

you can install Tegra Zone, sure, but it won't let you install the games.
And to apply the patch you're talking about, you need root

Tegra 2 is arguably the worst dual core chip when compared to the snapdragon and Samsung dual cores, but yes, it has the best exclusive games.
I wouldn't be upset with having a Sensation. It's far better than the Optimus 2x and Atrix. More reliable too.

My Sensation is on its way. I'm surprised to hear that the Tegra games won't work w/ non Tegra phones. I don't remember reading that when I bought them. Had most of them on my G2X, but I didn't play them all that much though. I always seem to go back to Angry Birds.
Maybe I'll just sell those Apps.
jk.
Can't wait to get my new toy!!

Good to see you made the leap ickster - I couldn't get rid of that G2x fast enough myself - after four bad ones I was OVER IT.

Hey guy...Yeah, but I'm holding onto the G2X for awhile to see how it plays out. I still hold out hope for it. I picked up (held) a Sensy at the tmobile store today, felt pretty nice.....I think I'm gonna like it! Can't wait.....already purchased the hdmi adapter and spare batteries and a charger. I'm ready to go.

i knew going in that it would not work.. luckily i have a xoom to cure that need

Please explain why ? I would like to know

yes ... why do you think that ??

There was a post somewhere on the myouch forums about a hacked version that would let you install the games... Never tried it but people said it worked. If someone finds it it would be gr8

LOL... please elaborate, tell me you've at least done a little bit of research before forming an opinion like this?

maybe the sensation will be able to use The newly announced "Playstation Suite" that allows us to play touchscreen optimized playstation roms for like $20 or game or something crazy like that I'm sure

Some games like Dungeon Defenders will work because there is actually two versions of the game. The market checks which hardware you have and downloads the right one. I ran it on my MT4G and Tegra 2 tablet and it downloaded a HQ version on my Tegra 2 Tab but SQ on anything other. I know some games are strictly for T2 and will install on other phones (side loading of course) but will not run

New games for Tegra 3 and not Tegra 2

Has anyone noticed that there a new games popping up in the Tegra Zone that state they are built specifically for Tegra 3 devices?
Are we going to get left behind on the newest games because we have the Tegra 2?
Anyone have thoughts on this?

Considering the market for !iPad and that Tegera 3 isn't going to power that big a precentage of remaining Android devices in general, at worst get the "Normal" version instead of T3HD or w/e bull they are calling it now.

It probably says so the TF Prime can utilize it. Im guessing most games should be playable on both, but when it detects quad core, it will increase all the settings. But, im not sure. I know a few games are going to do this, I think Shadowgun.

yea seems that way. but would def be stupid for devs to not make games backward compatible for at least tegra 2 devices.

It will. Look at shadowgun and riptide gp

It would be stupid for devs not to make games backward compatible with `high definition` systems, as so many people typically seem to name their app.

games will probably be exclusive for tegra 3 for a month or so then they will release another version unless the game cannot run on slower hardware.

Games should have settings like PC games do. 1 version with graphical sliders. Why isn't this happening in all games?
There simply aren't enough Tegra 3 (or Tegra 2) devices to develop specifically for. Backwards compatibility would be wise. No game should be Tegra 3 only yet aside from a few tech demos.
Plus it would be a way to sell Tegra 3 devices too. Give me a new game with Tegra 3 support and let me enable all the goodies Tegra 3 supports and see how the game runs. This is why I used to purchase video cards all the time growing up. Run a new game at full glory because it looked pretty but ran at 19fps... whoops, gotta go get a new $500 video card to play a $49 game better.
If they separate the versions then non-Tegra users and Tegra 2 users never know what they are missing.
I also want an upgradable GPU IN MY PHONE!!!!

I agree. They should be all backward compatible. I also like the idea of being able to scale back the graphics to run on older devices and to tempt us to upgrade.
I want an upgradable gpu for my transformer! lol Don't think any of that is ever going to happen.
I saw that in the demo of Glow Ball that is in the Tegra Zone it says it was meant for Tegra 3 and only Tegra 3 processors were capable of handling the intense graphics. It even goes as far to show you want it looks like without the Tegra 3 (on non Tegra processor I believe) graphics which pretty much makes the game not worth it.

Blowfish Studios are making a Tegra 2 then Tegra 3 version of Siegecraft THD. The Tegra 3 version will be a pushed update to the previous version, so I'm told.

Somehow I remember reading somewhere that file picker = bad according to some important Android guy at Google. Which is probably while you get nothing out of their stuff but you get OI File Manager out of CyangonMod. I wouldn't be surprised if someone felt the same way about game settings, especially considering that people probably change phones about as fast as AAA+ games have short shelf lives (ala COD sh!t).
Unless you want to make several sales per device, THD and the rest is all bull.
Buying FooGame and installing it on e.g. an Optimus One should give you a modest ARMv6 friendly APK, lower end build with graphics tuned for common devices of it's era. Installing it on a TFP should give you a Tegera 3 optimised version of the APK. Got a Galaxy Nexus? Different APK than the Transformers, plus another "Generic" APK that is OK on any phone powerful enough to run it. If memory serves we either have this ability in the market or are getting it soon(tm).
That takes care of your old handset, your super tablet, and your new handset. Even better is the licensing option, uninstall from the Optimus One and install on the Galaxy Nexus or whatever you want out of the markets settings. Just like buying a new PC you can transfer the game over, but just like a console: it also would mean no matter what they play off, your less techy relatives that don't know crud about tech don't even have to figure out game settings. Ain't that awesome?
But oh wait, if we have to do that much work anyway for maximum market penetration, why not release FooGame, FooGame HD, FooGame T2HD, and FooGame T3HD? That way we have the option for charging customers by the processor type and bloat our stats to look good to share holders? --> follow the money.
If I'm wrong about the last three paragraphs someone correct me, other wise I think it's all bull. Some companies are really nice about it if you buy one version but in the end, there's no reason for it, except to try and make more $$$ if wanted.
If I'm probably right and it is mostly bull, how about hitting the thanks button to let me know I'm not an idiot?

[Q] Tegra games on O3D without chainfire3d

Under which conditions can be possible such a thing, playing Tegra dedicated games on LG Optimus 3D without the help of ChainFire3D? I am asking because, after flashing my phone with ThiaiZ's O3D GB V2.6.1 Prada ROM, for pure curiosity I've installed a game, the Pinball HDfor Tegra game...and it works, very well and very stable. Also Stellar Escape, AirAttack HD, Guerrila Bob HD (all of these runs well) and Arma 2: Firing range - some lag at loading and some graphics problems, always at beginning of the game.
So I was wondering if it's possible. For those who won't believe it soon, as fast as I'll find a program to record all the screen on my phone, I'll post on youtube.

there are non tegra versions of these games so if u installed from market (ooops google play...) then they are non tegra versions cause the tegra versions of these games won't even appear on market for our device. Only known tegra version to run on all phones was that samurai crap game I don't even recall its name. So unless the versions u installed are the THD versions, they are not tegra versions.

I've made the video

tegra games?

i think note's processor should have the ability to play tegra games, am i right?
what should we do to be able to play them?

It's not a tegra device, so no. I've attempted to run several tegra only games using chainfire 3d, but it really just doesn't work. I've gotten the mass effect 3 wallpaper and dark meadow to work. Which is all limited to the Note 10.1, because I haven't been able to make ANYTHING work on my Galaxy S3. Just attempted Horn which is tegra 2 and 3, and it closes out before anything happens. If you want to play tegra only games, you'll want a tegra device. Or you can do what I do and make angry faces for nvidia causing a divide in the market, developers allowing it to happen by making tegra only games, and the consumers who happily support it. >.>

Some games like Dead Trigger can be hacked to enable Tegra3-only Ultra High graphics details with a simple file edit. I can confirm this works on my GN 10.1 and it's actually more stable and smoother than Tegra3 on my Nexus 7.
