[Q] Need for Speed - Shift - Xperia Play Themes and Apps

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

[Q] N.O.V.A 3 Not working with Xperia Play controls?

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

Final Fantasy Dimensions - Perfect on Xperia Play's Gamepad (Video & GKP inside)

Originally, I wasn't intending on buying this to keep... but I got owned by the refund time limit, so now I'm stuck with it.
Things didn't go entirely wrong though; things actually went astonishingly well!
Of course getting navigation to work with this would be easy because that would just be a stoic virtual joystick... but the in-battle commands would end up being a bit more complicated since menus are placed dynamically.
After messing around with FFDimensions for a while, I noticed that the in-battle menu navigation was operable via swipe-motions, which allowed me to create a GameKeyboard profile that works not only with on-foot navigation, but FULLY in battle! This is just as good as being Xperia Play Optimized! GKP is in the attachments, and I will probably be posting a video shortly.
EDIT: Video
Have fun
very nice! I'll be trying this out.
Got owned by time limit refund...that made lol....game looks really good but dam 20 bux...crazinness yo!
I imported the gpk and nothing happens in game when keys are pressed. Am I missing something?
You mean the game for which they dare to ask that much does not even have native XP controller support? That's insane.

Final Fantasy Dimensions just force closes when i try to open it on my Verizon Xperia Play...
Edit - It works on 2.3.4 gingerbread perfectly. It also works on ICS/Jelly Bean but the sound skips or pops. It doesn't work on 2.3.3 Gingerbread which is what I had installed when I tried it the first time.
I'm sticking with 2.3.4 since I don't use this phone for anything other than gaming and therefore don;t care about gmail/gtalk sync.

The Conduit HD (working on Xperia Play - not optimized)

Hey guys, just wanted to let you know that The Conduit actually does work on the Xperia Play. Since the first two levels are free to play I decided to download it (from a third party as it's not available for R800i on Google Play) and discovered it really is optimized for Tegra 3 but not exclusive to it. Unfortunately there is gamepad compatibility but you can adjust some graphical parameters, which help the game run smoothly on the device. Combine that with a GameKeyboard file and...
Anyhoo just thought I'd let you know
Yup, this game runs on pretty much any device. Xperia Play owners can download it from Google Play if they edit their build.prop or use a device spoofing app. I had to turn the graphics wwwaaaaaaayyyy down because i'm not overclocked.

Worms 2 Armageddon - in Google Play now

https://play.google.com/store/apps/...ddon.app&rdid=com.worms2armageddon.app&rdot=1
Worms 2 Armageddon is in google shop now. But it isn't avaible in my country. Could someone check is it Xperia Play optimised ? Is it works ? I wait for this game for long time and it's shame that it isn't avaible for me .
It isn't available in my country either

Not optimised, touch screen only.
Says in the description that it is optimized for touch screen. BTW its a really good game and works great!
I love Armageddon but if you want a game-pad optimized version then you could always go the FPSe route.

No bluetooth controller support either? I can understand devs not wanting to spend time adding specific support for our now dated device, but bluetooth controller support would be nice.
I have the previous Worms game that was in the Play store, but never could track down an Xperia Play optmized version... I found using the ninja-rope skillfully to be very difficult with touch controls - just can't seem to get around as easily.

Asphalt 8 FREE for Xperia Play?

I dont know if i'm the first to discover and advertise this, i'm sharing anyway
The new FREE version of Asphalt 8 in the PLAY store are unavailable for our Xperia PLAY devices, right?
But did you know that, in the Gameloft's WAP SHOP we can download it? its the free newest version of the game, and seems optimized, since the downloaded APK title is "Asphalt_8_Free_GLShop_Sony_Ericsson_Xperia_Play_android.apk" :victory:, i'm downloading the data through wifi right now, after this i'll test and see if works :laugh:
The game for wapshop version is 1.1.1 and i already have it long ago and test it.
The game still have some of big/small lag and if you want to enter the Tokyo track, you will definetly force close.
as expected, the game is running like ****, terrible lag, what is the ****ing problem with asphalt 8? PLAY don't have enough RAM? Don't have processing power? or it's a lack of optimization?
The plays hardware is severely ancient by today's standards. I finally moved to a Nexus 5. I hated leaving the play. But it was time. The only games still being released with XP support are Kemco's JRPG games.

It definitely works on xperia play. It even has various control profiles like "xperia play a" "xperia play b" and so on. I have played it for 1 week and it goes pretty well. It forcecloses in Tokio track cause it has an excessively decorated environment. I managed to play in tokio with turbo script and swap partition and it goes well for the first seconds, and after that it lags as hell. Looks amazing but it's a really innecesary eye candy excess for a racing game in which you only focus on driving, not on the beautiful buildings around you...
Aside from that, it takes some time to load and some animations go laggy, but others are surprisingly smooth... And the important part is that races themselves are smooth too
I'm on hyper gamer 1.2 rom with lupus ICS beta kernel, 1.6 oc and swapper2 with swappiness set to 100. I prefer not to activate turbo script for this game though.
PD: I haven't tried this game on my Xperia play because of people saying it just fc and that sh*t. Don't get convinced by everything that people say. If you can, always try things yourself and you could be awarded with a great surprise

Asphalt 8 is now available for the Xplay in google play and is optimized
It's version 1.2.1b which has a little more improved graphics than 1.1.0 that was available on gameloft's wapshop. Also it has better multiplayer and more cars like Lamborghini gallardo, an old known but good to see again
If you login to facebook the game will retrieve your saved game you had on the wapshop version, so you can easily make the upgrade without losing your progress. Also it installs as a different app (doesn't replace 1.1.0 and doesn't recognize data files from it either so you'll have to free some space before installing)

For Windows only for 8 and Phone. :good:
I have try to create Swap partition n using Swapper 2.
After that enable Gaming mode using Xbooster.
And then using GLTools on Asphalt 8.
I give 8/10 for this, playable and sometimes have a tiny/big lag.
