[Q] Tegra Games on Sensation

Hey, did someone who have root access, tried playing tegra games on sensation?
Take a look at this.

I've read somewhere that you can play those games if you have the chainfire apk or something. I didn't care much to investigate since I already have those Tegra "exclusive" games (so dumb) on my iPod touch.

Thats true, as you can see... its a guide for rooted devices.
Did someone else tried those games on sensation?

wont work:
Go to Default OpenGL settings, Use plugin, select Nvidia one. Apply market fix and then reboot your phone

For that you need Chainfire3D, and CF3D needs a reboot after installing, and also needs to write to /system. So it's impossible right now

some of these games do work on the sensation without root or chainfire3d...yes i am talking about the cracked versions..
i played pinball hd tegra / samurai 2 tegra etc

Now that we have root has anyone tried this??

Guys, about playing Tehran games on the sensation, I tried pinball hd and other tegra games which works flawlessly on the sensation with no need of chain fire at all I don't know about u but all the games I tried worked fine for me till now even tegra.

Works perfectly on my phone, in fact before samurai vengeance 2 was updated to work for the sensation i would use chain fire to run the Tegra only version. Will be trying monster madness later today and will post if it works or not.

Played Riptide GP today and it worked. I get those weird colours on the jetski thing, but nothing else.

works perfectly!

Chainfire 3D and CM7

Just in case anyone was curious, I used Chainfire 3D and the Nvidia drivers to get the tegrazone working with CM7 on the sensation! Tegrazone opens, pinball HD opens and runs smoothly, Riptide GP opened and ran but the characters weren't colored properly. It was a little choppy at times but still played.

Have you tried sprinkle?

Anyone that has this game galaxy on fire 2 do you experience any lag? It is almost hard to play the game. I am on a Overclocked kernel running at 1.56ghz, I thought that would be plenty of cpu power but I am not sure anymore. EDIT: never mind I fixed it...

I am interested. how did you do it?

Can someone help me get chainfire to work.
I am on ARHD 6.6.7 running seb kernel. I bought Chainfire 3D Pro and followed instructions on how to install. I did the "Fix Market" but still when i search for games like "Dark Meadows" and "GT Racing Motor Academy" from my device, these games dont show, if i try downloading them from the comp, on google play it says "your device is not compatible"

[Q] Play tegra 3 on nexus S

its possible to play Tegra 2 games on the nexus s. Im wondering if its possible now to play tegra 3. Im trying to get Puddle THD. I already know that DEAD TRIGGER works even without chainfire. Is there a tegra 3 plugin to be installed with the Chainfire 3D and build.prop changes?

Chainfire himself said that there won't be a tegra 3 plugin, because its not possible.

Bad graphics on games

I've been trying some games on my GT p3110 and I've noticed the graphics are pretty weak compared to other devices', games such as The Dark Knight Rises, MC4 and others. I'm uploading some printscreens of Blitz Brigade I took while playing. Check out the outlines of the shapes..Are your graphics better than this or it's normal on this device?

Our tab isn't the best option for games... maybe its normal for our tab.
the Nexus 7 with Tegra 3 is the best gamer tab!

First of all post high res pics .
And secondly i have tried many games(almost all good ones)
I don't see any graphics issue leaving games like real racing 3 which set graphics intensity according to devices(which can be set to high with some patches after which it too works great).

Some games allow me to increase or decrease the graphics quality.But, on Dungeon Hunter 4, for example, my only choices are Low and Very Low quality... why is that?

I guess they read the device specifications and automatically they include only resolutions that the device would run

hey ur pics arent normal i play blitz brigade on my tab 2 p3113 and its better than that

But if they choose the graphical options automatically, why our devices run the same games at differently? Also, when I was playing Dungeon Hunter I could only switch between very low graphics and low graphics....why can't I choose better graphics?

I agree that our tab isnt the best one for gaming but my graphics seem to be running worse than they should.

U can probably do something similar with other games!
Sent from my MT11i using xda premium

If you run custom ROMs like CyanogenMod or flash a custom kernel such as KK, you realise that most graphic issues are resolved. The problem lies mostly with the outdated/poor implementation of PowerVR drivers in Samsung's stock ROM. Custom ROMs & kernels are using newer drivers.

HM I tried to do that with the game in example (Real Racing 3) and it worked but I don't see how to do that with other games

There's some patching tool for Modern Combat 4 that can tweak the graphics if I recall. I think you can check in the HTC One X forum.
But that's beside the point, the main point being that the PowerVR SGX540 GPU is starting to feel a little underpowered as it shows its age. Even if you could force the games to run on high or max settings, performance would take a big hit, in some cases, the game slows to an unplayable pace.
The reason why there are patches, tools & mods to manually tweak graphics settings is because of the fragmented nature of Android, some devices have powerful hardware but have not been properly supported by the game developer yet.
---------- Post added at 04:45 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:41 PM ----------
By the way, I have checked out the screenshots in this thread, they seem fine?
I would recommend the threadstarter to check out these games on other PowerVR SGX540 devices for a better comparison. If these games look better on other PowerVR SGX540 devices, then it would warrant further investigation.
As I mentioned already, the stock Samsung firmware for P31xx uses older PowerVR drivers according to various modders. By switching to custom ROMs or kernels that implement newer PowerVR drivers, users have reported better graphic performance/compatibility in games.

Well i had bad graphics with brotherhood of violence
I had installed brotherhood of violence game and was surprised to see the difference in graphics between s2 and tab2 for the same game. Graphics were soo terrible that i had tp uninstall the game from my tab and had to play on s2....
Well one possibility to have better graphics is to overclock the gpu(more computations per second) and then use patches for higher settings in games... as previously mentioned in the thread some developers ( mainly gameloff) seriously cap the performance...
u can use any custom kernel like kk's blackhawk/next kernel or dhollem kernel to overclock the GPU... see their respective threads for more info..
Our tabs GPU is clocked at 304mHz by default in stick and cm... these kernels allow overclocking 384mHz and 512mHz..
so the problem of frame rate drops when using patches can be solved by overclocking the GPU...
But we need to remember that Powervr540 is at least 4 yr old technology( i first saw it in galaxy s)... so we need to cut it some slack...
Cheers
