I have downloaded the extracted game launcher apk from the play, but it can't be installed on my droid. I found a video on youtube a guy who is able to install the game launcher on his xperia arc. http://youtu.be/Ysknm2N8riA
There should be a workaround but I can't find it either from xda or google.

I downloaded/purchased the Need for Speed - Shift game and installed.
But thing is, its not showing in the Xperia Play Launcher along with the Bruce Lee, FiFa10 games.
Its in my usual menu and it plays alright but just not accessible via Xperia Play.
Strange?
No, I've the same problem and unpack the apk for the launcher is not possible :-(

I think its probably not optimized for Xperia Play? Cos when I download and installed "optimized" games, it does show on the launcher.
Hi, I haved the same problem, but the solution was upgrade xperia play interface and now, show me all games...
I've updated my Xperia Play too, but the game still doesn't show alongside Bruce Lee, Fifa10, Sims etc.

although some EA games work with the H/W buttons, they do not carry the experia play optimised tag, so will not show in the play launcher

I was wondering whether it is possible to port Portal onto the xperia play as i have seen Half life been ported to android? if possible i would think it would be a very nice game to have for the Play.

You can play the flash version of portl if you like that one too
never tried it, could i have link please?
Portal on my Play would be the single most awesome game to play on this device
Here it is the games launcher of the xperia play i think that if we install it on the xperia play with the cyano it can work, i can't test it.

The app should work. Would you be looking to play PSX or just having a launcher to link you to the market to purchase the game?
The app will work but PSX classic will not as CM does not contain the SE PSX app.
Here is the market link http://news.onlive.com/rd/9z1z6k1khihj3tfnilbe5j8t6uml45s70cjb59er3k8
I managed to load up Batman Arkham City on my Xperia Play but couldn't use any controls when playing as the Xperia Play gamepad doesn't do anything.
I'm sure that if we all sent OnLive an email asking for xperia play gamepad support they might consider adding this feature. Then we will be able to play games like batman and saints row on our phones
direct link to the market

It des not want to connect on 3g - I suspect it is wifi only until there is a mod

How do you activate Xperia Play controls when you're already in a game? Also how do you activate them at all. In the menu the only thing that works is directions and "back".
Guess that's already answered. We need a control mapping update yesterday.
I have tried a button mapper to change what the xplay controls do, but doesn't work
Can someone upload the apk? I can't download it from market it isn't avaible in Europe?
I purchased N.O.V.A 3 from the "Play Store" and I am only able to use the on-screen controls with my Xperia Play. Everyone seems to think it DOES support the Xperia Play controls though. Why isn't it working for me? Is it cause I am using Cyanogen Mod 9?
Yes, the reason you have no Xperia game control support is because you are using CM. Using any other rom that is not based on the Sony Ericcson framework, meaning the firmwares that SE released will remove the function of the game controls. If you were to use a SE firmware you would have the controls working. I purchased Nova 3 an it works just fine on my device, but I again I am using SE firmware.
On my play the controls works really great
Has someone tried it on aokplay?

That sucks :/ The controls work with minecraft though? I there way I can duel boot roms? You don't have to explain it just gimme some guidance haha. Thanks.
It will only work on stock or stock-based roms and always launch it from the Xperia Play Launcher and not your app drawer or homescreen.
Using true ancestor and was able to use xperia play pad, its just that the graphics isnt that HD.

i have prob too with nova 3 xperia play
i have nxt xperia rom and it works with controls but now it doesnt when i got chainfire 3d is there a way to keep controls and good gaphics?
A problem I have is that the game works initially with xplay controls, then it randomly decides to use on screen controls and doesn't switch back

That is the reason I don't like CM-base mod ROMs.
It's understandable that official roms-(or roms modified from them)-from Sony have embeded best touch panel drivers for them to work, or we say, FUNCTION.
A R800I without the two gorgeous touch panels is NOT a real Xperia PLAY.
:laugh::silly:
I simply love this idea of using the touch panel control on cellphones.
The reason is:
1) Touch panel has obviouslly longer life expectancy than real console. We only need to touch and scratch, no need for mechanism that's easy to break.
2) Touch panel has much smaller requirement for space and thickness when you design a gameplay cell-phone such as Xperia Play.:laugh:
Even on CM7.2? Touchpads don't work on Asphalt 6 aswell.
Is the wapshop version xperia play optimised?

Your play is rooted (because you have a custom rom) get "Game keyboard" you can optimize the game to work on your game pad I think. Try it, should work
