I've tried Galaxy On Fire 2, and it launch, but without any texture : all 3D objects in the game are in black & white.
Riptide work (almost) fine for me (quite laggy)

I haven't set any particular settings, and in "Default OpenGL settings", I haven't tick any option and don't use any plugin (I use "Per app" settings when I need it) [Chainfire3D Pro 2.0, worked also with the precedent version]
I didn't yet searched good settings to make it work properlly, but without textures it's almost unplayable :

Open Chainfire3D

Done.

[Q] chainfire 3d ?

Hi to all,is possible install chainfire3d on tf101 for play non tegra games like qualcomm or powervr? Thnks in advance.

Not to play tegra-incompatible games, but it does optimize things that weren't specifically designed for tegra a bit.

yes. but last i heard it was unstable on anything above gingerbread

I used it on Honeycomb, but it wouldn't let some games like Angry Birds render properly on ICS so I uninstalled it.

[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.

im still waiting for my shield, does wild blood or nfs most wanted work?
I can map the keys through game keyboard if they can run on the shield

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.

Are you able to set the graphics on very high on DH4?
Asphalt 8 is the first one im going to play when my shield gets here tomorrow.
i heard tegra 3 games should work/ these work on htc one x
so if anyone has:
Dungeon Hunter 2
9mm HD
would like to know the results.

Gangstar vegas works with touchscreen + high graphics mod from xda plays awsome
Im going to try mapping keys to it.

[Q] Splashtop THD/2 and SLI with fullscreen?

Hey Guys!
I finally decided to pick up a Shield and now I am in awe and a little lost!
I got the NVIDIA Game Streaming working fine and I got Splashtop THD sideloaded. I also have Splashtop 2 installed - I am familiar enough with the two to get things going. The issue I am having is, playing games (like Skyrim or Dragon Age) in fullscreen. It either crashes the app or gives me a warning the it cannot support fullscreen games. My PC has 2x 780 GTX graphics cards running in SLI with two monitors connected. I tried disabling SLI and netted the same results. I am not sure it matters, but I am also running Windows 8.1.
My question is, can I do anything to allow fullscreen games or am I stuck in windowed only?
Things I have tried are:
Splashtop 2 and Splashtop GamePad THD
Disabling SLI
Disabling 1 screen
Geforce Optimization on and Off withing Splashtop
I have the latest drivers, I did try two older drivers as well.
PC:
780 GTX SLI
Windows 8.1
i7 3770K
2x 1080p displays
Any help is much appreciated. I Googled until my fingers were tired and my head was exploding. Most items I found were dated 2012 or earlier. I found one from January of last year. Surely things have changed since then? Anyway - please let me know. If there are any alternatives, I am open to exploration. Just from what I read, Splashtop is the best? If so which version? THD or 2? Does it matter?
Thanks again for your help!

So you also tried the shields native game stream also?

Yes and that works fine.
I am trying splashtop for games that are not natively supported. The issue I am having is that I get the error "splashtop streamer does not support direct screen access...". It has the nvidia optimized logo. I tried every registry change I could find by googling today. I also tried (again) a single card, no sli, and a single monitor.
This is driving me nuts ! haha I see so many talking about doing it but no way to replicate it....I will gladly tip someone if they help me get this working (via PayPal).
Thanks

[Q] Plants vs zombies 2 very slow

Hello to everyone...
English isn't my natural lenguaje, sorry if i fail writing my post.
Well, my problem is that plants vs zombies 2 is running very slow in this device and my question is, Why?
If you know the solution, please help me, can make me very happy
Good day mr.

Same problem here with tab 4 t230 and pvz 2

Same problem here on t235 when playing Clash of Clans...

same problem here on sm-t330n i have already disabled everything, nothing seems to help.
edit: i 've tried Greenefy and it seems to help a little.
edit: I've tried turn off almost every app one by one that i was able to, except google play services, and that help also a little.
Also i have found that after turning off every app i was able to, netflix frame skipping was reduced considerably, but not completely. so i went back to 1.8.1 again.

same problem too
My Pvz 2 running too slow on T331, fps is under 15 (i guess that), but my kids still love it. I dont know why but i've tried run many diffent games like asphalt 8, mc4, mc3, nfs most wanted, gangstar... so my t331 can handle them very well. Maybe the rom is not completly compatible with pvz2 or because of its version.

Hello,
I´m having the same problem with P vs Z 2and asphalt 8 in my SM-T230NU. but Clash of Clans and Boom Beach run revy fine.

I have a tablet SM-T230WI-Fi Plants vs Zombie2 launched with good FPS using the program Gltools. set Gltools (need root). Run the application, select Gltools Plants vs Zombie 2, put a checkmark to apply the settings for this application, reduce the resolution select: 0.5x, primenitm template Tegra 4, put a tick in disguise gpu.

Yes, I know this is an old thread. But, I have the same problem in a SM-T231.
There is any fix for this?
