[Guide] How to get THD (Tegra 2) games working on amazon Kindle Fire - Kindle Fire Themes and Apps

Hey guys, guess what I got working? All THD games. Ill even show you how to do it.
Oh and I did not make any of this just put it together in a nice package for everyone.
Steps :
1. Follow the guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1358316 (This guys great discovery)
2. Follow the guide http://forum.mobilism.org/viewtopic.php?p=783548 (Install these great plugins, and activate the nvidia driver.
3. Free Apps:
-Galaxy on Fire 2 Thd ( http://www.megaupload.com/?d=T2PMZZQP )
4. This improves preformance for the games by a noticeable amount ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1371021 )

I can confirm this works, though you shouldn't include links to pirated non free apps.
*MrJandD has since removed the links to the pirated games I was reffering too.

Chainfire3D is free:
https://market.android.com/details?id=eu.chainfire.cf3d
The pro version (which adds ease of use, like per-app settings) is not.

Do you have to be in root mode to be playing the games with Chainfire or can you switch back to non root for the games once it is all set up.

Once it is set up I beleive you don't have to be in root.

You are correct works great off root. This post has turned my Kindle Fire into a very fun gaming device. Thank you!

Put the three plugin files (libGLEMU_xxxxxxxx.zip) anywhr on ur phone.
Open Chainfire3D

Done.

[Q] Chainfire3D on GT7+?

Is it works on GT7+? has anyone already rooted succesfully tried installing chainfire3D on GT7+ with HC 3.2?
the main reason i would go for root is chainfire, but have to wait for the CWM for the P6200 international version though...
*hope garyd9 would develop one
Once I get a microSD card I will test this out. Plan on setting up chainfire and trying out some games.
Chainfire3D works on GT7+, already set it up.
I've tried ChainFire on the GT7+ but Asphalt 6 doesnt work.

The problem with Asphalt6 is that it does not recognize our tablet so won't download game data (You don't need CF3D to run asphalt on Exynos now).
I got NFS14 running, however the gravity sensor is perpendicular to the screen...
I had no problem downloading and installing Asphalt 6, but when i run it, it says not compatible with this device.

Yes that sucks no gameloft games work
Could some helpful person please tell me what that app does.I bought it, j thought it would let me get tegra 2 games but anyone could get them on the market so I'm confused on exactly what it does,thanks
BEST DAMN PHONE BECAUSE WE HAVE THE BEST DAMN DEVELOPERS!
what it does is simply make game for other system playable on other system, further detail:

Well, there are problems beyond texture format.
Most new Gameloft games (i.e. Asphalt) does have support for our Exynos chips now, no need to use CF3D. However when first time start the game, it detects the device model and decides which game data package to download.
Apprently gameloft does not recognize our tab now. My work around is to download game data on my SGS2 then copy them to my tab plus.
However there is a new problem, the orientation of gravity control is 90 degress from the screen. For example, the game runs in landscape, but I have to hold the tab in potrait to get correct gravity control, which made the game unplayable.

How do I get wired XBox controller to work?

Specifically trying to play Shadowgun and GTAIII.
I tried under honeycomb and now with ICS, but I can't get it to work.
I should be able to just plug it in and start the game and it will work right? I don't have any options in GTAIII or Shadowgun to activate or setup the xbox controller. The videos I've seen for shadowgun, the game seems to have an option that is not available in my install of the game.
If I buy a wired PS3 controller will that work.
Any help? Thanks.

I'm asking the same (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1516408).
Worked fine in Honeycomb for me, but not in ICS

Ignore heading in my previous reply, typed image verification text in wrong place, whoops
Got it working, but not natively. Had to download uSB/BT Joystick control and then do a bit of messing about. Works great now on shadowgun, just wish it had worked natively so i didn't have to pay for an app.

[Q] Gameloft Games Not Compatible?

Don’t know much about how compatibility is determined on the play store weather it’s up to the developer to say a device isn’t compatible. But I noticed on launch day nothing was really blocked due to compatibility but yesterday most of Gameloft’s library disappeared for me was curious if anyone was able to try Dungeon Hunter 4 & Order and Chaos on the shield.
Anyone have insight on why certain apps are being blocked?
It's a new device and normally will have to wait for game updates before certain company's list the Shield as compatible (its the game developers that enable compatibility lists on their Google dev accounts).
I do know Modern Combat 4 will work with controls on Sheild as its recently been updated with HID support but whether it's available to download is another story.
For now your probably better off sideloading games from another droid you own (if you do).

App developers can change their games compatibility. Gameloft, in general, doesn't support controller on many games, so I wouldn't be surprised if they started marking them as incompatible.
Do you happen to have a rooted phone or tablet? If you do you can download the games to that device and back them up with titanium backup. Then you can export the backup and import it to your shield if you have rooted your shield. You might be able to just pull the apk out of the titanium backup and sideload it on the shield if you have not or don't want to root the shield.
I did this exact thing with the game Avadon to get it on my Kindle Fire when I had that. It isn't pirating since you own the game and a lot of the time games will work on unsupported devices this way. Once you have them installed they typically show up in the market but will still say unsupported and not allow you to update them.
I would imagine without controller support those games would need an app like Gamekeyboard and root to emulate touch controls with the physical buttons. I am currently using that app to play Final Fantasy Dimensions with the Shield. The only thing I cannot do with the physical controls is browse the inventory out of combat. In combat and walking around I can use the physical controls fully. It's pretty awesome.
Evo_shift, how did you root the Shield? Thanks!
Edit: nvm, saw the thread.
Yeah, I was wondering why I couldn't find Modern Combat 4!

Don't need root to sideload from one phone to another (or tablet or shield).
ES File Explorer supports backing up apps to .apk without root permissions. From there you just copy the APK onto the shield, launch it in a file browser and android will install. No root required.
As for final fantasy. I guess no out of combat inventory is annoying, but at least you do have native touch.
My brother had a kindle fire, we used the ES file explorer method and since then have rooted the device, added the play store and a custom launcher. Shame that you have to do those mods but once you have its definitely a bargain. Missing bluetooth and camera etc, but its cheap and runs most things pretty well we've found.

Wow, cool. I had no idea something like that wouldn't require root.
The lack of bluetooth is why I ended up selling the Fire when the Nexus 7 was released. It did everything I wanted it to do just fine and I got it during one of Amazon's big refurbished sales and was my first tablet so I didn't want to spend a lot because I wasn't sure I would use it. Finding out I wasn't able to use a bluetooth gamepad was a real bummer to me. Now, my kids have basically taken over the Nexus (and they are only 4 and 2 years old but there are nice educational apps). The shield is my new toy that they will not have access to and basically replaces my Nexus 7 since I only used it for gaming
I contacted Gameloft and all they said there's nothing in the works, but when there is they will announce it. Lame

Not all games allow apk back up without root. There will be a little lock icon for the ones that are protected. I think all Gameloft games allow sideload, since the game checks your Google account during the first time opened to validate. Most games released in the past year (at least) still check the device if compatible, so even sideloading does not mean the game will actually work when you open it.
For modern combat, turn off mouse control via quick settings and the game works great.

NFS Most Wanted works (touch only).
Throwing this out there. If you like racing games, be sure to check out Asphalt 8. It works and is compatible with the Shield controller.
I install the dungeon hunter 4 and use the tincore keymapper to map the screen button and work like champ.

[Q] "Google Cloud Save" games?

But, I have trouble finding the games which support this feature.

Unfortunately, Google Play doesn't tell you which games support the Google Cloud Save or which ones don't. There are games supporting Play Games but doesn't mean they have the cloud save feature. You need to check it one by one, and in case you doubt, make a Titanium Backup first.

Google Play games shows games that support play games indeed, but may be only leaderbords, achievements, and such. Doesn't mean that they support Google Saved Games and doesn't list either the ones that are compatible with that.
