Go ahead boys, and get those tissues ready! You can now play games (like Assassin's Creed: Revelations, DIRT 3, etc.) on your Kindle Fire.
Now I really hope Bluetooth works for Kindle Fire, as it does for the Nook, for non touch-enhanced games.
Attached is the apk for it, in case you can't access Market // don't have your Kindle Fire rooted and want to just side load it (latest version as of 12/8/2011 ; v1.0).
UPDATE:
Attached is the apk for version 1.2, latest as of 12/23/2011.
Thank you thank you thank you!
Works like a charm on Transformer 101. Can't wait to try it out for real, with my ps3 controller.
not working in germany
Thanks chap
Works a treat - shame no Bluetooth on the Fire though.
I think the Onlive Wireless Controller may connect to the Kindle Fire via Wireless. It is supposed to have a bunch of modes to connect to almost any device. I am hoping that the Kindle Fire is one of the "any devices" and not the "almost".

*Fixed* due to exclusion of the other half of the population that DOES actually play TOO
I decided to give it a try, and with the limited touch games I decided on Darksiders. It actually controlled pretty damn good considering, but my internet doesn't quite have the bandwidth for high quality streaming. Seems like a fun game too, I might pick it up for the PC sometime.
BTW it works fine in Canada.

Well, women don't need tissues. If anything, they need towels =P
It worked for me, though I played Dirt 3 and it was glitchy (audio and video would stutter at times, and I got some artifacting), and the quality was only average (kinda blurry). I am on a fast connection (20/4) with Comcast, and it's running fast and smooth, so I don't think it's that. Also, it decided to exit the game on it's own, twice.
Thank You Thank You

You can use a 360 controller with the OnLive app, right? So if I purchased a usb-to-mini usb adapter I should be able to plug in my 360 controller to the KF, right?
I've found an adapter on amazon for a dollar, it won't hurt too much for trying it out unless someone thinks it won't work.

why are you even in this thread?!
I played Dirt 3 demo on the Kindle Fire. Not bad. Controls were OK, just have to get used to the touch controls and it played with only a little lag. Saw some glitches in graphics but that is due to connection speed I guess. I have DSL 6.0 only and it was very playable.
They say we get a free game for signing up so i will check that soon.
The app works flawlessly as well. You can watch thousands of people playing live games and much more, pretty cool app and service for mobile, I think it will be big soon on mobile devices.
Apparently (according to Onlive's facebook at least) an update was pushed on the 14th that improved compatibility. Anyone had a chance to grab the new APK?

I just want to let people know what an awesome app FPse is. If you dont know what it is its a PlayStation 1 emulator. I had tried it out on my previous phone the MyTouch Slide but wasnt very happy with the performance. Using it with my G2x though is like holding a little Playstation in my hand. So far I have beaten Resident Evil Nemesis on it and I'm working on Metal Gear Solid and Road Rash 3D, both of which run beautifully on the G2x. No need for Tegra Zone games on here, I'd rather play full length PS1 games!
Is it comparable to PSXdroid?

this runs so flawlessly way better than psx4droid
anyone know how to make the l1,r1 and start and select buttons to display in landscape mode?
edit: nevermind I got it
This emulator beats psx4droid hands down.
FPse is much better than psx4droid. The bios os avaliable online just google it. I find emuparadise to be the best rom site around. The only thing with roms on emuparadise is alot of them are .ecm file so u need to unecm them but that software is available on thier site
bios
I need help I couldn't figure out how to use this app I download the Tom's but I can't seem to find the BIOS after extracting can some one give me a link for spyro
It might be better, but for the average user I think the "free" price tag of psxdroid sounds better
The price tag of free Is always good. Its always nice to support our app makers. It keeps them coming back to the android platform.
I tried both and fpse was way more polished. psx4droid only became free when It was pulled from the market.

The BIOS file is completely separate from ROM files. The same BIOS file is needed for all PS1 ROM files. I'm sure theres a rule against posting links to files like that so just google "scph1001.bin" and you shouldnt have a problem finding it.

I tried the golf game - no go. Seems to crash trying to play the opening video clip.
I tried The Settlers HD, all I got was a small white screen (like it wasn't scaled up). Although I can hear the music plays just fine in the background.
tried lets golf and it doesnt work on my transformer. Found a posting about xoom and gameloft and it showed what games work, so i tried Spiderman and is working great.

Any gameloft game game that requires u to play online multiplayer wont work because transformer lacks an imei. Thats something the Xoom has that the transformer doesnt. Once someoneakes a framework with am imei it will open up the tramsformer to alot more quality games. A good example would be homerun battle . U cant play it on the transformer due to lack of imei

Asphalt 6HD works fine on Transformer 3.1. Bought and downloaded on Gameloft. I had to say I was from India and Other telco provider and it downloaded the APK fine and then an additional 528MB of data.
As for the device, I stated mine was the Acer Iconia A500.
Worth $2.00! Played till 1:30am last night. Too bad Starfront Collision doesn't work on Transformer.
Tried to redownload on Nook Color with CM7, and it says invalid APK..... ;(
Hi I downloaded DH4 from Amazon app store. It works on Nvidia Shield but the graphic setting are stuck on Very Low. I tried to change it to low but it crashed and when I try to go higher it doesn't work. I'm sure the shield can do better than very low settings seeing as it the latest graphic card inside. Any ideas on how to get a better quality version of it working on Shield?

I'm having the same issue I have contacted Gameloft support about several issues including this, interestingly they have now removed dungeon hunter 4 off the playstore through the shield.... so hopefully a newly updated version will be released soon.
jolly good
Will be good to see. I'm currently trying to Root device so I can get proper controller support and be able to use SD cards to store games ETC
hopefully my driver issue will be rectified soon

Im playing gangster vegas on my shield with Tincore mapped keys, I downloaded a mod from xda to enable high graphics and it works really smooth, i hope there is a mod for DH4. Will try after i download it.
Any luck?
Any luck tweaking the graphics?
sadly haven't found any mod for the graphics
New update
A new update as of today says the game supports Moga controller use so it may be possible that the shield will work with it. Not sure about graphic settings or anything yet. Hopefully there is some early optimisation already but havent been able to download yet.
dungeon hunter 4 has supported moga since a long time. Iv been using it with moga. Im 90% sure we wont have high graphics ever on shield or any tegra devices. unless its a hack
bummer
that's a shame. Would be nice. Currently rinsing the ass out of Asphalt 8. Great little arcade racer but the IAP's are just a little harsh as it takes ages to earn cash normally and the design of the game is so tight in terms of what is included in the 69p app price and what is extra.
Such a shame as if they charge $4.99 for the game and didn't add the "buy buy buy" scheme the game would be one of the best racers I've played on a mobile device ever.
Don't mind the grind but it is losing points for being so money orientated.
EDIT:
Just downloaded it, it runs on VERY HIGH GRAPHIC settings with full controller support on shield from Google Play now woohoo!
Nice finally the decided to support a tegra chip properly wow, but where is the offical gangstar vegas version ?
This is very new to me, I thought this was basically a console and didn't think it would have graphics settings
DH4
Cool game..great graphics...just wish it wasn't a money pit game.
well..gameloft is one of the rare companies that needs graphics settings because they tend to have the best graphics in their games, and given that android is like a windows pc with many configs, its good they do this.
Hey guys. Looking to get a shield now as I love android gaming but my JXD S7300 starting to look a little long in the tooth. Games are struggling on it now so time to upgrade.
I did have a Sony Xperia z + gameklip combo but it just didn't feel quite right so I decided to sell and just go Shield!
Firstly, does anyone know where I can get one in the UK without having to sell my car first? The overinflated prices are ridiculous. Also, hows game compatibility? Another thing that annoyed me about the Xperia z was the amount of games that came up 'not compatible' which is why I went back to my Xperia play. Was tempted by a JXD S7800 but long term the Shield is probably a better investment.
Any help would be most appreciated guys.

For the compatibility, a lot of new games are fully joystick supported, for the touch only games, the mapper app works great. And a lot of the non compatible games, can be easily sideloaded and work almost perfect, and some of them, with joystick support.

Pretty much every game on google play is compatible now that we have the gamepad mapper. They are working on an update for the gamepad mapper to fix fps games that just use the whole right field of the screen to look around and aim. I haven't looked at ebay prices if that's what you're saying about overinflated prices but that's one option. I believe there is a way to purchase it in america, have it delivered to an intermediate usa location then have them ship it to the UK. You'll probably need a proper adapter though since the UK is 220v.

Thanks for the replies guys. I never like stock mappers but am familiar with Tincore and have seen that it works with the Shield so thats good news. Do many games see the controls natively though like with the Xperia Play or Moga?
Yeah, ebay was what I was talking about kieso. I cant get one on there for less than £350, either from one thats in the UK already, or one that needs importing with customs taxes! Thats like $550 or maybe more (not sure what conversion rates are atm).

There are some play games that are natively supported. Some gameloft games and others but I couldn't give you a number. The gamepad mapper is nvidias creation. A lot of times when you open a game the gamepad mapper detects that there is already a profile available for that particular game and it prompts you to download it. I think (don't quote me on this) that profiles are automatically shared among all shield users. If you don't like the given profile you can edit and save it.

With my app you can simulate other controllers as well. (converting your gamepad into a different one) But i think it is just a matter of time that most of the games support a "default" gamepad.

Oh wow that's your app! Youre a talented programmer! I don't know what gaming devs are waiting on. We've been trying for at least a couple years trying to map to controllers. It should be a standard by now to automatically include controller support. Do you have any other apps in the works?

So!
I finally own the Nvidia Shield.
I bought it mainly for emulators. I'm not interested in streaming PC games (I don't have a compatible graphics card in my PC).
I have unlocked the bootloader and rooted it.
My first reaction is that the Nvidia Shield is almost TOO powerful. Will there ever be an app, or game or emulator to max it's potential?
I'm not saying it's most powerful thing ever and that it will never be topped, but powerwise it feels a bit avant-garde for a handheld console.
I got a little disappointed when I tried Reicast.
It runs fine, but there's too many graphical glitches for it to be playable IMO.
No disrespect towards the developer. He has done and is still doing amazing work on the app, but I was hoping it would be more playable.
I have no doubt that if development continues, Reicast will run flawlessly on the Shield.
What fun is there to do with the Nvidia Shield?
Anything I should give a try? Emulator wise or just some Android game that is fun to play?
Will it ever be able to run a PS2 or Gamecube emulator on it's own, not streaming from a PC?
Well I've had two since launch date and love the shield still on bench scores out preformed the note 3 and as far as ps2 and GameCube or any emulator its not so much about the power of the device your trying to run it on as it is how well the person that coded the emulator did on coding it for our device and android because if for say you could put a ps2 disc in the shield and it was coded for ps2 it would run ten times better then the old ps2 hardware get me? A lot of people don't understand how that works so I just wanted to clear things up also game wise portal is coming soon to shield I love mc4 a lot and mapped mc3 and love it as well there's lots of shield supported games just gotta browse also some ouya games will work fine on shield sorry this is so long just wanna help anyway I can
You should Google something like: cool thing to do with Android. You have a rooted Android device so you can do anything you want, it's nearly unlimited potential.
It's a good device to use as a dedicated HTPC connected to the TV, you can control it using bluetooth or using another Android phone via DroidMote. Considering it have USB OTG you can connect a harddrive to it and use it as a DLNA server. It make a decent offline GPS as well.
PS. It won't be powerful enough to emulated PS2 (well).
