Database Info

Shift Puzzle Game... is there a special Xperia Play version?

So one of the many mysteries of trying to database all Xperia Play's games is this elusive set of Glu games that seem to be available only to people on Rogers/Fido networks.
#77. DJ Hero
#78. Build-A-Lot
#83. Family Guy: Uncensored
#84. Guitar Hero 5
#85. Tony Hawk VERT
#86. Doodle Jump
#87. Diner Dash 2
#88. Mini Golf: Wacky Worlds
#89. Shift Lite
#90. Bonsai Blast
#91. Stranded 2
Every time I scroll through the "more games" tab (on the Xperia Play Game Launcher), I end up seeing these games that always lead me to an error page when clicked.
Just to check for integrity, I've purchased some of these only to find that what I see on the Google Play store does not work with Xperia Play's controls. Does anyone know if the Rogers/Fido network are getting special versions of these games or something?

I have the Family Guy: Uncensored game and it works with xperia play gamepad but no Xperia PLAY Launcher support. Th Family Guy Time Warp (have that too) works with Launcher and gamepad. Also the South Park game too

Where to get EA Games like Worms and NBA Jam?

I got Worms from the Google Play store, but it doesn't seem to have gotten me the Xperia Play optimized version - there is an optimized version, right? Where do I get it?
I'm also interested in NBA Jam, but want to know where I should get it in order to get the proper version. I'd prefer the Play store though, if there is a way to get it to give me the proper version. I'm on an r800at, unlocked bootloader, running Gin2Jellybean - and I was able to get the proper version of the Lara Croft game from teh Play store.
I also tried picking NBA Jam from the game launcher which took me to the flexionmobile/gstore, and I found a copy of Worms on there, but it doesn't seem to be the optimized version either.
Thanks,
~Troop

NBA JAM sounds broken according to all of the R800x reviews https://play.google.com/store/apps/...SwxLDEsImNvbS5lYW1vYmlsZS5uYmFqYW1fbmFfd2YiXQ
but they do mention the buttons working

NBA Jam from the play store works fine on my R800x... unless some update killed it... I haven't played it in like 2 weeks...

NBA Jam works fine on my Play, purchased it in Play store, I did have Worms which I purchased from the Xperia game store and it was optimised, but I have since reinstalled my OS and lost the APK. Not actually thought to try and redownload it. Should imagine it would work fine though once logged into EA.

I got NBA Jam from the Play market and it works great. Shows up in the launcher and the controls work! ^_^
Now, if only the same were true of worms, guess I'll pester EA! >_>

i wanna got the idea 2, but is there anyone who can give an answer?

I don't think there is an optimised version of Worms.
NBA Jam from Google Play works great.

I haven't tracked down an optimized version yet either, can anyone verify that an optimized version exists? or does not exist?
Also, what's the best way to contact EA to ask about this? Their site didn't seem that helpful in providing an easy e-mail support link.

I bought my EA Games from their own Store called Flexion Store. But i´m a R800i user, don´t know if it works for R800at, R800a, R800x users.

I can also confirm that NBA jam is working fine on my r800x.

As far as Worms, I think I had stumbled upon this, but hadn't really watched this video:

It does appear that the controls work (though the video is poorly lit), though that is a foreign version of the game.
Still don't know where to find it optimized though...

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.

Yeah, mine is overclocked, forgot to mention that!

I played the Wii version few years ago (pretty decent game). And when I read the title of this thread I never thought that was the same lol
Good find dude

Whoa, wrong thread. Ignore me lol

The only cricket game I know is "BRIAN LARA Cricket" For the sega Genesis. It should work a sega genesis emulator, it's also a pretty good cricket game once you learn to play it.

Brian Lara Cricket on the PS1. Either use a ps1 emulator like FPSE or just use PSXperia to convert it to run on standard emu

I am afraid not. Non of those games could work on our play at the moment...Those games are closed sourced and as such, they are impossible to port.

Hi Guys.. im back once again.. to ask for all your help !! I know this is old.. but I never really got over it.. and tried again.
This game is EA Sports Cricket 1997 Version !! Available in both DOS mode and Windows 95 mode.. which the DosBox .. or aDosBox should be able to play.
when I load from both the programs.. the game loads fine and goes Just till the last moment when the game is about to start !! im new to this and would appreciate if you could configure so it works.. its and old game and our Xplay should be able to play it as it very much does others with better graphics than this !!
if indeed u manage to Play it.. also please let me know how to configure it so that we can use our D-Pad or TouchPads and Buttons to Play.. (In DosBox D-pad and Buttons don't work, in aDosBox all of that works though)
thanks a lot for all ur help.. and lets hope for the Best !! if this game works on my play.. I will keep this phone till my grave.. haha .. !!
Here is the screenshot of the Game !! http://www.mobygames.com/game/cricket-97/screenshots
and here is the DOS Version of the Game for Download !! have to use DOSCRICK.EXE and it will work ! http://www71.zippyshare.com/v/84982611/file.html
Await a positive reply ! does it got anything to do with free space on my Internal Memory.. I have like 35mb free on System Storage.. and 100mb free on Internal and 1gb free on SD Card !
EDIT 1 : I tried the same games DEMO version.. in 340x240 and it works !! tried to scale the screen and that works also.. Dpad works Perfectly .. but Buttons only work in menu.. not in gameplay !! have to somehow make the game run in 640x480 .. it needs 16mb ram for this !!

Xperia Play Playstation apps

Hello,
I was browsing the web today and found that this forum still talks about the Xperia play to a limited degree. It being 2017 there is such limited information to be found on this topic.
I am a collector and I recently obtained an Xperia Play. The software is original and unmodified or rooted. I was looking into getting the original Playstation games that came out for the system and looking to make a back up of the files for preservation/study. Unfortunately I live in the U.S. and none of the games are available in my region.
In the UK store I have found WipEout and Jet Rider (Jet Moto in NTSC countries), but I cannot purchase them due to the region lock of the google play store.
Is there a easier way to obtain these, or will I have to use a VPN? If so what would be a decent VPN to use on an unmodified Xperia Play?

Would love to know an answer to this as well! Apparently Cool Borders 2 had an updated version of the emulator https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=16746986&postcount=584

Can anyone still play their ps one games from uk?
