[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!

[Q] Less compatibility for Apps

Has anyone else noticed how many more apps are NOT compatible for Sensation (also Evo 3D)?
So far the following very popular great apps have issues:
> BackStab HD (Assasins Creed Clone)
Market Link
> Samurai II
Market Link
Any other noteworthy apps have problems? Most Developers are saying it is a phone issue and not their issue. Not sure thats true, but figured I'd put it out there since I haven't read anything about this.

Lol those are not Apps but games, has nothing to do.with sensation ...since its a fairly new phone support for those games will come later and now.go cry somewhere else. BTW i can play both games fine!

Are there apps that are not supported because of a specific phone or are they OS based?
I know NHL Gamecentre had an app (friend on a Desire Z had it) but I couldn't find it at all in the market and I had to find an apk on the internet and it installed fine then.

okay but why isn't google home there in the market place. When I go through the market on my PC it tells me its not availble for my phone but thanks to d/l of the apk file I know it works for it.

I have samurai ii. It crashes a lot! The description says that the sensation and evo 3d isn't compatible and it isn't the game.
Battleheart and zombieville usa has these problems too.
I tried them but will eventually crash.

The confusing thing is that all the games that are compatible with the Adreno 205/200 should be compatible with the Adreno 220 because of the backwards capability it has. I wonder what's causing the issues.

No need to be a **** about it. There are most certainly other applications aside from just "games" that are not working for the phone. It was intended to insight an answer regarding specifics for Sensation issues like the known bluetooth problems with HTC.
I'd love to know how you are playing these games fine if both explicitly say they don't support the phone. It's one thing to flame a dumb question, it's entirely another just to post crap. Grow up.

That's exactly what I was thinking. I don't see any real reason why it would not be supported. The only thing I could think of was Sense 3.0.
The irony is that the LG G2x is supported, but the Sensation is not. Go figure.

These games don't work because they were made using the Unity engine, apparently support is coming soon.

ive thrown plenty of games at my sensation with no problems yet. Download spare parts and enable compatibility for old apps, works like a charm for me at least

Help
Hey I can't run Asphalt 6 and Dungeon Defenders pls help

That's just kind of marketing problem, not Hardware problems.....
Like Tegra 2 games, you can find versions made not to check if it's tegra or not and working well on the Sensation (for ewample I have a 100% working Pinball HD For Tegra2)
And some games were written specifically for tegra (stupid!) and need some re-writting for Adreno now.
Also, the fact is that many warez won't work on the Sensation, more than on my previous device that's for sure.
Asphalt 6? Buy it on Gameloft wapstore directly, it works perfectly. Try warez: they'll mostly fail.
Finally, some games say they are not compatible just because with our qHD screen, touchscreen controlls will be messed up, like the version of Schrek Kart I had: working fluently, but you must press above the virtual buttons to get them working.
To finish: talking about apps not compatible:
if you try to install an app and it says "App NOT installed" and you can press "OK" and that's all.
=> Try installing this app via ADB ( adb install \name_of_your_app.apk ). Many will install this way and perfectly work!
That's what I did for many apps (Blackmarket alpha is one of them^^)

Thanks guys!

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.

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...
