Right now I'm a little bit confused. When I slide out the gamepad and the Xperia Play App appears, I've got access to all games developed to XP. In the top right corner there is a link to the Android Market where it lists the "Xperia Play Optimized" Apps.
Here's my question, why there are some games there are listed on the Android Market that do not appear in the XP App? For example Baseball Superstars 2011, just to mention the first I found in the list.
I understand why some games don't appear on Android Market (ex. Gameloft's), but the opposite I can't understand why.
This is confusing and doesn't make much sense. Not to mention the PS Pocket games, if this is a Playstation certified device, PS games should be the first to appear when the gamepad is open.
I end with a suggestion, why not reunite all games together when the slide is open, PS Pocket included.
And that is, not counting the PlayNow market. Sony should cut on the different markets' malarky.
Yes, I forgot the Play Now market. For me it's just another useless app on my phone.
I got rid of that play now piece of ****, yeah I dunno, it would have been better to have the slide out with XP games on one tab down the bottom and PS1 games on the other, and in order to buy more games, have a button in the top right (like now)! Then do away with the 2 other markets...!
I bought morden combat 2 on my old phone thur market and when I try to search for it in market its not there anymore only in xperia play market which there makin me buy again is there a way around that

To show up in the Xperia Play app directly, app developers need to submit their apps directly to Sony Ericsson. That's why not all apps in the Market show up.

E-mail Gameloft?
I guess it's because the version you buy in the Xperia Play market is the Xperia Play optimized one, and the non-optimized versions will not appear anywhere.

Apple and Android market the crap out of how many millions of apps they have.
Truth is, most of them are useless.
Probably 99.99% of them are total crud

I got those games, they do indeed say they are trial, but continue and allow it to donwload the data, when it`s finished and the game is about to start it asks you to login, when logged in it then says play free game! They are indeed truly free and full.

They aren't a trial, read the rest of the thread, you didn't need to find any "other ways"
the only one i had problems with was nfs hot pursuit, said i hadn't made a purchase yet? any ideas?
And im assuming that 'game unlocked' means i have the full version?
Thanks
EDIT: Un-installed and re-installed, that did the trick
You don't need to log in, just click 'my account' after the data has installed and a box will pop up saying you have the full game. I don't have an EA account and workedcfine for me.

Hi all,
For those of you who love order and chaos this is a big day
Update 1.0.8 (patched I think ) brings back our beloved gamepad!!
Just start O&C, download the new update and install.
Everything is working fine so far, it shows up in the game launcher and the gameloft store says compatible and able to purchase again (when you go there by your launcher)
Note: What I did was, clear O&C cache, delete datafolder, uninstall game, then reinstall.

ty for info brotha,
I have only Thema Market Version. Installed again... First one free month gametime ;-)
Version is 1.0.8 and touchpad controls works but is not playable. The controls are very confused and buggy
Anyone have the same problem?
Gesendet von meinem R800i mit Tapatalk
Did you wiped game data (could be in sdcard/gameloft ( old versions ) and sdcard/android/data ! ) cleared cache and deleted app ?.
For me gameloft games gets fuzzy when old versions and files are still there. So make sure you delete everything game related.
Also I noticed when you pauze and start the download your game files get messed up with force close issues etc. So make sure you download the files in one row without stopping it. ( This is what I experience with buggy gameloft games )
Damn XDA is fast.
I fell asleep on the data download, and meant to post this very thread after confirming that the controls were indeed, back.
Very good news though!
I can confirm that the controls are back. Sweet. Thank you GL but I have to say... about frelling time. (Frell.... a little Farscape nod)
I cant see it in the launcher and the one from the market doesnt suport the controls...

The GL is the one that updated. You need that one.

As a general rule, I'd always recommend buying Android Market versions over anything else.
EXCEPT IN THE CASE OF GAMELOFT. What Gameloft puts on the Android Market is almost always some outdated ****; and if you're an Xperia PLAY owner, you'll find less than 5 of Gameloft's 24 Xperia PLAYable titles.
I really can't stress how relieved I am to have this working again. The touch screen controls were killin' me, and then they released an update that made it seriously unplayable.
Only complaint I have now is that, for some reason, that damn 19MB of phone storage consumption is back. They already have 1GB of the game's data moved to the SD, take that other 19MB with it! That's about 10-30 more app installs I could have.

That's true..the 3g versions(n8000) have this problem, i read it before 10 minutes in gamelofts forums that a guy has the same problem with me..what we can do now?wait for gamelofts update?
Good luck with getting updates or anything. I own 13 Gameloft games I can't do anything with since I upgraded from an Epic4G to an SIII and picked up the Note 10.1.
I contacted their customer service who promptly told me each game is specifically made per device to prevent piracy (ah yes, just like how Ubisoft online only DRM prevents that) and told me if I wanted to play any games (even if I own them) I would have to buy them again for THAT specific device. Also they're not that good with updates, if they update their games at all. Personally I no longer buy from them.
Try this.
If you bought them from the Play Store, access the play store from your computer via webpage.
Log into your account
Gotomyour games or apps youve downloaded
Select the one you want to install
When your devices pop up, install from there.
You CAN try to change your device language and input to EN US. Then restart your note. That worked for me a while ago, as some apps/games are region locked.
Also this reminded me of how when i recently swapped notes out, and got a new one, when the update software server asked me where i was located...i was tempted to register as one of the first countries to get JB...but i didnt for safety sake.
Let me know if this works for you. I recently got Google to credit me my Madden 2012 game because EA would not allow the download to the note anymore. Gamelofts policy is snakey at best, but understandable in its explanation. I hope it works

So it looks like north American servers are shut down and ps1 games are pretty much impossible to get. Does anyone have old versions or a way to purchase them from Europe servers?

You could try creating a new Google account and setting it for UK. Then use a VPN for UK and try to search for ps1 games in Google play. I used to do this setup years ago to get Japanese xperia play games.

It's working. I wonder if there are more ps titles in the Japanese market. They always have bigger launches and keep software there. Because Sony is king in Japan

Memory serves me they do have some games that we didn't get. But can't remember what off hand. I k ow if you download the SO-01D xperia play ftf and extract there was a golf game in addition to crash bandicoot. Also you will need to download a app called:
Market enabler
http://ppl.ug/2NxeO4cBg_k/
Then you need to use the JPN sim code for DoCoMo
market enabler docomo 44010
Be advised market enabler does not work on firmware JB and up. So GB only.
Let me know how it goes. Also if possible a japanese VPN would do wonders to really get around region issues of you look around online there are some free ones.

I did the Vpn the other day but the market does not show in English so I havent been successful at finding anything yet as I cannot read Japanese and I do not have a japan keyboard im working on it though! thanks for the DOCOMO advise Ill give that a try. If you want to watch a funny ad look up the docomo xperia play on youtube. Just the way they sing docomo through the entire ad is hilarious

I never had to worry about using a Japanese keyboard might be best to try and see if you can find a website that lists PlayStation 1 games for the Xperia Play with their market links and see what you could find from that route I know a lot of cases I had to actually bring up or email myself the market link to my gmail but make sure if and when you find a market link that you're not signed into Google so it doesn't know what region your in. So basically look for a Japanese PlayStation 1 games on the Japanese market find the links saving to a notepad sign into Gmail and email those links to yourself and then try to open them that way from within your Xperia Play with the Japanese VPN and market enabler
I was able to find WipEout:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.sony.playstation.NCEA00010_0&hl=en
Syphon Filter 3
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.sony.playstation.NCEA03697_0
I'll give that a try us the Europe ones weren't to hard to find I've got :
Destruction Derby
Jumping flash(really addicting)
Syphon filter 1 and 3
And medievil
As well as wipeout from scea before the American server closed
Games in the Europe store I don't have are golf, cool boarders and a ball game I can't remember. Wasn't there a rally racer game when xperia play first launched still looking for that. I think they also made silent hill but it got pulled from psm still trying to find that. I'll try the Japan thing. I got German store to but it's just the euro store. Looked at the docomo Ftf but only saw crash not sure if I downloaded stock.
