Play Tegra 2 games w/Nvidea plugin

I didnt see this posted here so I figured I would share this.... I was browsing the Mytouch 4g section and saw this, tried it out and and works.
So far I got NOVA 2 HD, Fruit Ninja THD, and Pinball HD for tegra to work. Backbreaker, and Plants Vs. Zombies didnt work for me.

There was like 2-3 free ones last time I was on a couple days ago.

Just tried both plugins neither worked for fruit ninja thd.

Samurai Vengence works =)
Just tried Samurai Vengance and it works =)

How are you guys getting it to work? Frustrates me. Every time I try to play fruit ninja thd it said it needs to be on an nvidia tegra device.

Did you follow the steps correctly from the post? Here is what I did:
1. Download and Install Chainfire 3D from the market
2. Download the NVIDIA driver zip file and extract it to your sdcard
3. Open Chainfire app and then install drivers for Chainfire. Your device will reboot.
4. After reboot, open Chainfire and select the NVIDIA driver you copied to your sdcard.
5. Once you install the driver and plugin correctly. Try running a Tegra game. It should work. However, the only game I tested though was Samurai Vengence.

I'm dumb I didnt select the plugin I just installed it or whatever. I got a few games working amazing. How come the samurai game runs so good but its suppose to showcase new graphics? I dont get it.

Wait, am I not supposed to be able to play plants vs zombies? I downloaded it from the amazon store a couple weeks ago and it works perfect...

[Q] Gaming on the Atrix 2

Is the Atrix 2's GPU good enough to play recent HD games made by Gameloft? Can we use the chainfire app to play Tegra games? Is the Atrix 2's PowerVR SGX540 as good as the Mali 400?

Well i do own a Atrix @ and it pretty much can handle all the games you throw at it when you use Chainfire.

Oh that's good to hear. You don't have that 'apps auto uninstalling bug', do you?

Most everyone does, it's a software bug, which if I recall correctly Motorola is working on. When apps are installed to the external SD card they at times disappear.

As I understand it, the Atrix 2 actually has a slightly better GPU. I'm disappointed to see that that has really been sold short.

Lets golf 2
I lost the preloaded lets golf 2 n having probz with the correct apk...can someone tell me version that was preloaded thanks

I just lost some games that I purchased from gameloft in the market. I bought them on my infuse when they were in sale for 99 cents. Now that I have the A2 they are not in the market anymore for this phone. I put my backups on the A2 from my infuse and when I go to open them they say this device is not compatible. I'm going to contact gameloft to see if I can get the compatible versions and if that fails I'll just play them on my infuse. It doesn't make any sense that they won't play on this phone because its a better phone. O well

Just edit the build.prop to get the games back on market. If you need help just ask.
Also download spare parts and uncheck compatibility mode. This will also make many games and apps work without any other mod. (Make sure you do a restart)

Thanks for that. I just lost root because of the update so I can't edit the build.prop. Once I get it rooted again I'll try it. I did this method on my last phone to get some games to work so I know what you're talking about. I havent heard of doing that with spare parts so I might give that one a try.

Street Fighter IV HD v1.0 not yet optimized :-(

thats just too bad that they didn't optimized this game for Xperia PLAY..
namco, how could you ?!

When did namco start making street fighter did someone tell capcom

I thought SFIV for was a LG exclusive for some new phone of there's. Maybe I misread somewhere.
Sent from my R800a using xda premium

Yeq,but its been cracked / modded for other phones , its illegal to download it I believe and yea it won't be play optimised until they officially release it onto the market or onto the play , currently only available for the lg nitro HD
Sent from my R800i using XDA App

It's a 3 month exclusive to LG, so not long now, and it's not optimised as it stands, it still runs like **** on the phones it's supposed to work on.
It will also benefit with buttons to play with, not crappy touch screen gaming, so roll on the Play version.

not optimized
i have downloaded it and installed on my play,, and yes, it is not optimized.

If it's warez this thread needs closing.

If the game will be a paid app on generic release, it's warez. If it's going to be free, its not i don't think.

Tried this game and dont think much of the android version buggy and too big sd file.
I would rather play the onlive version which is millon times better and has online vs instead of just bluetooth.
Or if have no internet accses would rather use tiger mame and run streetfighter alpha3 or streetfighter the third.

Is the game better than the 3ds game?

It can't be, the 3ds version is gold.(especially if you turn off 3d in the menu. Its smoother than butter)
from tapatalk on xperia play.

The 3DS version is a 100% port of the arcade/console release. Graphics pretty much identical and 100% of the content and characters available and even more added.
The phone version is quite literally bollocks in comparison.

Managed to somehow run it... force closes after some punches and kicks..!!

Why would they give a touch pad phone exclusivity for so long... You need control pads to play street fighter... There is no way anyone can enjoy it on touchpad.

I've got the same issue and just after restoring my phone, and using the stock version of xperia play .69, and rooted, did you find out how to fix it please help if you know the solution as it works on my nexus 7, but not on the xperia play, im thinking it may be a ram, and processor issue, is it possible the game is too powerful for the xperia play.

Can't install THD games?

My SGS2 is running on Juggernauts 5.0 ROM.
I been trying to download some of the free THD games from Nvidia Tegra Zone and see how it runs on my phone. I've done this before with no problem on my HTC G2.
I googled and downloaded the Galaxy on Fire 2 THD apk because I cannot download the free original apk from Tegra Zone due to the fact our S2 is not a Tegra device. I have Chainfire3D installed with the proper plugin too, but when I try to install the .apk it prompts that I am out of space and tells me to delete some items and try again. I've checked and I have over 7GB free space and additional 4GB in SD slot + I can install bunch of other apps just fine.
I tried googling for an answer but no luck. Since the game is free in the first place, this wouldn't break any rules? If it does just please and go ahead and close this thread. Or direct me to a different thread with the same issue would be nice

It did when it was released at least (Gameloft tends to **** up big time in updates) but I've heard nothing but negative things regarding the game.
Btw, has anyone played Super Dynamite Fishing? It looks pretty funny and claims to be Play optimized.

Does Max Payne still use both analogs for the camera? That's how it was in version 1.0 and I refunded to go back to 9mm.

Yes, that seems to be the case, although I only played the tutorial so far. Must add I have no problem with that.

It's an "End of Summer Sale" by Google. You can find the sale on this link, not all apps are listed like Max Payne. :good:

Really? It bugged the **** out of me to be honest. The touch pad controls were way too jumpy to get a good shot off and I've only been able to play with auto-aim enabled (not why I bought a gaming phone)
Nova 3 also had abysmal touch pad control and required auto-aim IMO whereas Nova 2 got it perfect (as perfect as touch pad will ever be for me, I favor analog style).

Really? It bugged the **** out of me to be honest. The touch pad controls were way too jumpy to get a good shot off and I've only been able to play with auto-aim enabled (not why I bought a gaming phone).
I must add I've never expected XP's touchpads to be a substitute for real joysticks... IMO they work just OK in some games, and very poorly in other games.
I can live with that, but there is other thing that bugs me.. maybe it's for another thread but... I find Max Payne a shockingly disappointing game. I'm just at the beginning but...it's the whole game like this? Move from room to room, shoot some bad guys, advance the story a little bit, move to another room. Gosh this is boring. I will admit this is my first experience ever with the franchise so I did not know what exactly to expect. Bought it basically on hype and because it's made by R*, who made my beloved GTA 3.
Also how long is it? I'm not sure I won't be bored to tears mid-way although with these kinds of games (kinda movie-like experiences) I usually try to persevere and finish them. Sorry for derailing the thread.

Oh its completely about the story, the gameplay doesn't hold up particularly well and the concept of the game has been expanded upon so much over the years that its almost not worth a retread unless you are compelled to for nostalgia's sake. Max Payne 2 is actually a pretty great game even by today's standards but the first game feels very very old.

Ugh... thanks for that. Guess I still got 9mm with better graphics, better controls and online play... so I don't really have to be disappointed.
...at any rate, Gangstar Rio is actually kinda dope! Same for Virtua Tennis. I really want NOVA 3, but I'm debating whether I wanna put up with any more of Gameloft hogging space off our phones as "data".

I bought NOVA without realising it takes up 17mb data. I cant even play these games really now. I think I'm gonna go ahead and root one day

Using ZergRush method, it will either work and root, or won't. In doing so, data, contacts and anything else won't be affected either way.
Root gives you the power to knacker your phone but if you're not an idiot and don't go deleting important system processes, you're safe.
