Yes, no lag at all..it just like you play the games on tegra devices..I already test Fruit Ninja THD and Samurai II: Vengeance THD on X10, both working flawlessly and no lag at all.. I'm using WB's V006 roms and custom kernel K010..

---[ REMOVED ]---

Are you sure they run smooth? Even the normal Fruit Ninja lags here compared to the iPhone version...

delete this

thats because those files are from PRO version!!!

Currently available plugins
There are currently no plugins available from my hand, but it appears somebody has compiled and released libGLEMU_NVIDIA, libGLEMU_QUALCOMM, and libGLEMU_POWERVR plugins. You may find them if you search for them
WARNING: I did not write, compile, or release these plugins, and thus I cannot vouch for their quality, or that they don't do anything evil to your device. You should also be aware that they may not be legal to use in your area.

I don't think it it :O

This is only games from PC to phone you? Because I try to download them from my cell phone and download it gives me error
Enviado desde mi X10 TripNMiUI-IRIS usando XDA Premium App

i tried it on another website and it works fine. only riptide got some issues.

I found this several days ago.
I tried Vengeance, Fruit Ninja THD, Backbreaker THD, History Great Battles Medieval and others.
Fruit Ninja works flawlessly except for the white colour of apples.
Backbreaker works but no movement in the figure. Only environment is working well.
History Great Battles doesn't run.
Besides i tried PowerVR Sacred Odyssey and it failed to run as well (the snapdragon version doesn't work okay)
So overall, only those games run that are supported by the GPU. Not everyone. Samsung models run BackbreakerTHD too but not X10.

it lags a little on furit ninja thd. often happens when starting the game. but everything works fine.

How can this run well if not even the normal fruit ninja runs well?

Normal fruit ninja run well.get latest version...if you mean swipe gesture when you slice fruits a little lag, it is normal because our x10 are capped at 34 fps, try using custom kernel and you will suprise, the lag is still there but almost gone..I hope our devs can push our x10 to 60 fps then we can play ninja fruit like play on iphone..

bro does this improve your phone graphically cause Nvidia's drivers are involved

the guerrilla bob regular always worked. im pretty sure the THD he put after the name stands for tegra hd or something which means that one wouldnt work. and neither would samurai. i know because i personally tried before and i know it was impossible to run samurai before this.

N.o.v.a.2 HD anybody get it to work on tf?

Its been awhile since there's been a thread about this. Just wondering if anyone has had any luck getting it to work on 3.2 on the tf?? If so, what version #? Any workaround to get this to work would be most awesome.

I haven't been able to get ANY Gameloft games to work on mine, since 3.0. Apparently they don't care that the TF is one of the highest selling Android tablets, and they decide not to support it. Really can't be that hard to port it over to the TF since the Xoom runs almost identical hardware.

How did you get Spiderman to run? It FC'ed on me when I was on 3.1, and it FC's on me now on 3.2.

Don't turn this into a warez thread. Besides, samurai vengeance II is available for tf. I simply want to know about nova 2 and any tricks to get it to load passed the intro. I am more than happy to purchase it.

Samurai Vengeance II, Splinter Cell, Hawx and Sandstorm work fine on my TF.
EDIT: Back on topic. Yeah, Nova 2 doesn't run on mine, either.

For Spiderman you just have to purchase the latest xoom version. It should work.

I'm more than happy to pay on market or wherever they are but how do you get the xoom versions? And can you download from gameloft without phone number?

What version of Splinter cell worksfor you?

All you need is the link for the xoom version on the gameloft site and you can purchase it. I've seen it posted on another forum. If I can find it again ill post it asap.

Dammit. I spoke too soon. I was actually thinking of this game running on my HTC Glacier. No, it doesn't appear to be able to run on my TF101. Sorry to get anyone's hopes up.

Chainfire 3D

Hi,
If I install Chainfire 3D on my Xoom, what are the advantages ? Will I be able to play THD games on it ?
Thanks in advance !

Well the XOOM already has an nvidia tegra 2 chip so you don't need the drivers for that, but you will be able to play qualcom/snapdragon specific games... which.. are there really many of those?
Not 100% sure.. but I don't think there is a real advantage to downloading chain fire on your XOOM.. it's more for people who have a different processor than nvidia and want to play tegra games... like I have a xyboard with a Texas instruments omap processor so I can't play tegra games without chain fire.
And no you will not be able to play tegra 3 games with chainfire but that's OK most tegra 3 games have a tegra 2 variant with less demanding graphics!
Hope that helps!

Thanks for your answer !
But there are a lot of Tegra 3 games that launch only on Tegra 3 and don't want to launch on Tegra 2... But for example COD : BOZ that just came out the day before yesterday launch only with Qualcomm.
So I tried Chainfire 3D on my rooted Xoom, and then it was stuck at the boot logo !! I lost all my data :'(
But I think that COD : BOZ will be updated with support for Tegra.

COD BOZ is only out for Sony Xperia devices for the next 30 days then it will be available for everybody.

Ow then thanks for the info !
Do you think that games like Puddle THD can work with this app ? Because when I open Puddle it says that it can only work on Tegra 3...
If yes what are the options to configure ?

It seems that Puddle is only for Tegra 3 devices.... and there isn't a Tegra 2 version at the moment.
I know in Chainfire 3D there is an option to turn down textures and graphic quality... MAYBE that would work... but I really don't know to be honest. Somebody who already has a Xoom and has tried this may be able to tell you.

Chain3d not working on Xoom Team EOS Wingray rom, when downling the driver, the xoom will reboot and hang at Motorola logo.... You will need to re-flash the whole rom again...

RPG Games for the Infinity

Anybody has any suggestion for some good RPG games for the Infinity?
Hopefully, some that would utilize well the good screen resolution of the tablet
I know there's a separate thread for games but I guess RPG gamers out there would appreciate the filter
Thanks a lot ^_^

There's an old buggy port of Baldur's Gate for Android and there's a proper tablet version coming soon, for what it's worth...
I believe you'll find more Diablo-like games (Heroes Call, for example) than proper RPGs which seem to be getting out of fashion, but I'm waiting for some hints here as well, perhaps someone knows something (HD) tablet-optimised.

It's a bit pricey but Square did a good job remaking Final Fantasy 2. It's not out of this world on the graphics but its still fun. Look up some youtube videos of the game play.

One more vote for Final Fantasy III, the game looks amazing on the infinity and the controls are well thought out.
If you're a fan of JRPGS (turn based selection combat) then any of the games by KEMCO are good. The story may not be as epic as chrono trigger, but it gets the job done lol
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...lution+Co.,+Ltd.)#?t=W251bGwsbnVsbCxudWxsLDNd
Finally you can also play all the old RPGS with an SNES emulator, I suggest https://play.google.com/store/apps/...vbS5idWJibGV6YXBnYW1lcy5zdXBlcmduZXNfbGl0ZSJd
I've been playing all the fan translated rpgs that were released in Japan but not for the US like suikoden 3!

are these turn based?

got that final fantasy III game and i must say that it definitely is awesome... they actually did a lot of change in the graphics compared to the original one...
i wonder what else is out there for our infinity? I just downloaded Horn and so far it looks great... but im actually looking for some more Japanese RPG games similar to final fantasy... any other suggestion?

I just noticed DosBox Turbo is available. OH MAN. I wonder if I can get Master of Magic and some other great classics running in it! That really opens up the possibilities!!

I'm crossing my fingers for Gameloft to properly port Order and Chaos to the infinity.
The game was sweet on my Galaxy Nexus, so I wonder how it will be on this baby!

If the you have the snes emulator and a good source of roms, see if they have 7th saga. That was pretty neat growing up. It had about 4 or 5 main characters to play as with different story lines.
While waiting for O&C, check out Iruna Online. I think the company is still working on an official final release but it is promising. You have your group online game play etc. Makes you wonder what Gameloft is doing when a much smaller company can release a beta version of their online game that is compatible with our TF700.

Also if you like old school Baulder's Gate style RPGS I have to recommend Avadon: The Black Fortress

bards tale
the bards tale like the olders versions on mac and ps, the hd version is 3.5gig but its worth it. :good:

Haven't purchased myself yet but Spectral Souls (if you are into Japanese SRPG) has relatively high rating among Japanese community.

looking for those types......................

For turn based I rate the following :
Call of Cthulhu : Wasted Land
Xenowar
The first is a seriously brilliant horror rpg based in H P Lovecraft's world and during the first world war.
The second is a very good remake of X-Com Enemy Unknown.

bringing this back up as Bard's Tale isnt jiving real well with JB for me. Even in performance mode, when you run into several enemies the game slows to a crawl and eventually force closes.
Anyone else having this issue or have a solution?

I bought Bard's Tale HD version (3,5GB) but the performace during the game is really low. I must change Performance mode to MEDIUM ( Infinity actually is the the best Android tablet and I must play in medium level to play without any lags ?? WTF). As the game dedicated for Tegra 3 is really not optimized or Tegra 3 is overrated.

are these appeal based?

I choose Performance mode in tablet settings. Next time to play. In performace options (in game) I choose maximum and let's go. Everything looks really nice (moving around tavern) until you meet the fist enemy. There is fire, big monster and at this moment I have terrible lags. My "hero" is moving so slowly and there is no any pleasure with playing. When I set performance mode (in game) to medium it looks great. So my question is: Tegra 3 is overrated or game not fully optimized or maybe both...

Yes... Street Fighter 4 works perfectly with the Qualcomm plugin of Chainfire3D and GB 2.3.6. Absolutely no lags or white background. Street Fighter 4 does not work on ICS. This is not a limitation of the ATRIX 2 however, but a compatibility issue with the game itself.

There is a way actually as I remember playing Samurai II: Vengeance THD (Tegra version) a few months back on my ATRIX 2 device. You will need the Chainfire3D app along with the nvidia GPU plugin for it to work.

I suggest buying a Tegra3 device if you can afford. Very high end is Tegra territory. The Optimus 4x HD is available for a sweet price, after the launch of the Nexus 4.
Atrix 2 is capable. I guarantee it will run most games (non-tegra), but, it is not something that will last. If you were asking this same question 8-9 months back, I would've suggested you to go for it, but, not now.
