that's because the game is basically running on a Emulator, the game itself is the same as the original one on the PC
same with the R-Type game
might as well run mame, or any other emu and then run the original R Type ROM

I already figured out that pc mods will work in android version of game because the folder structure is the same.
I have an LG Optimus One and I really wanna play this on my phone,but it lags and it is barely playable.
I have 2 ideas to make it playable.
1. Reduce texture size. Like you modedd the exhaust stuff,we can retexture everything in-game for armv6 phones.
I would do it by myself,but I need some help,as I never done this thing before.
2. Somehow if I could reduce the view distance to a smaller area,I could drastically reduce lag.
Any1 help?

You can try modifying timecyc.dat, I think that lets you modify the draw distance.

Definitely buying this game now lol, modding makes the game last longer lol.

Timecyc.dat is only for the time cycle. It adjusts the sun according to the time.
I haven't found draw distance option to set yet.
Right now I'm trying to resize all 64x64 textures to 32x32
Hopefully it won't lag the game so much.
I will reply here if it works

IMG TOOL
use img tool to use mods. Where i can get the cache? Someone please pm me with the cache. please<3

wow!!!its great...going

pm me with the modified cache

Some problems with mods
I have a LG Optimus Speed (O2X) and the game works great. I tried to change some cars but IMG Tool seems to have some problems with windows 7 and i can not get the cars into the img. But i found an interesting weaponpackage (Uzi, Beretta 92, Remington Shotgun and more) mod that works quite well, but the weapons are all white on the display. It would be very nice, if someone could help me.

Indeed, the timecyc is and for draw distance except for the lighting. I tried several with limited distance. I had great amount of fps (over 30-40) but below the middle of the screen if you have no visible graphics is a bit bugged.

??
works the modes ????

So the pc games is ported as it is on the Android OS! Great! :-O

Hi,
since I'm an old GTA Modder, too first thing I've tried was of course modding the game. I was very happy to see that the file structure is the same as on PC.
BUT - Maybe I'm stupid, but how the hell did you do that? I used the IMG tool 2.0 to replace a car (sentinel), but after copying the img files, handling.cfg, carcols.dat and default.ide (all modded) back to my phone GTA did not start anymore. The game even did not start after using my original files I've backed up before...
What is wrong here?
Can you give us a short explanation how you did that? Used tools? which files? etc...
Thanks and cheers

GTA3 will turn now to GTA Vice City .
Pretty possible thing if modding works.
BTW. OMG cache for sd is 350MB, really huge for mobile device. I downloaded recently 200MB PC RIP with patch and translation integrated, just without radio

i tried to install Real GTA3 Final mod (search it on google because i can't post links yet -_-) to the mobile version of GTA III and it works ! . just tell the wizzard to install te mod in x:\Android\data\com.rockstar.gta3\files\GTA3 (sd-card) and it will work
BUT ONE THING I NOTICED FOR NOW: THE RIMS FROM CARS DOESNT SEEM TO WORK !!! they are either invissible or too big xD

With regards to draw distance is this of any help?

how did you manage to get it working? and running which game? i tried metal slug X , because its a small (64mb) but it crashes immediately when i click the .bin file.
I put my bios in my bios folder, my games in the iso folder, and it worked
Can You share Your bios file and what game are You running?
Running FF7(great game btw) and I would love to share the BIOS files, but that is sadly illegal. Search around the nets, and you will easily find them. Or you can dump the bios from your playstation if you have one. I tried that once, and it went wrong, it isn't an easy procedure
Hi guys. I just see that excelent program. I dint imagine that exist. The problem is that i dont know how to make it work. What i have to download and how i will make it work? i have the htc blackstone, with this rom RUU_Duttys_HD_WM6.5_Leo_Holy_Grail_R0. Can you help me please????
i am having a problem too when i try to run it..it says that i need mmore than 16mb of ram to run it but nothing else is running.
any one any ideas
@ jonathanfoster
Maybe the game that you are trying to open is to large, try a different one. If not, try using a different bios if possible. If that doesn't work, try a different version, or maybe the game is bad
@ nikosfa
Bios goes in bios folder. .iso and .bin games go in games folder. click on the executable from the device, and done.
I couldn't get version 0.9.5 working so I downloaded newest 0.9.6 beta of the emulator. Digimon World 1 and 3 ran almost perfectly... just little fps drop in fights. I also tried Gran Turismo and it was very playable.
i cant use the directional pad because its going to the left even without touching it
hi lads. can someone explane step by step haw to EnableHLE=off and use bios file. thanks
ups sorry wrong section
Just want to say thanks schtruck.
I'm enjoying fpse since the release date.
All the ui option and gfx- game fixes are most appreciateed.
The latest version with screen positioning and pad positioning
is awsome on my desire HD.
Catch ya later.
FPse is the best emulator there is and 2,99 is really no money. Tried like 20 games, all work super well!!

SCUMMVM - progress? EDIT: Progress!

Hey fellas,
I'm a huge fan of the old school LucasArts games like DoTT, Full Throttle, Indiana Jones and games like the Leisure Suit Larry series. I was extremely excited when I read about SCUMMVM for Android. That excitement died when I then read that it currently work only on 1.5/1.6.
Anyone know if any progress has been made with the 2.1/2.2 versions? Can I help in any way?
Thanks! Let's get this ball rolling.
Turns out there IS progress!
http://anddev.at.ua/news/2010-6-2-1-0-1
Testing it out now.
Very interested in this - never really got it set up when I had a G1.
Thanks for reminding me My biggest loss moving to android was no scummvm..
Imagine running it on the nexus, using the trackball for mouse movement
There was some movement around 2.1 with a buggered beta of some sort as far as i remember, but we all need some froyo support now!
Is there still only one dude working on the port?
-e
****edit
@rickytenzer: let us know how it works out
****Edit2
I tried the tremor version for no camera (since n1 doesn't have a dedicated cam button)
It takes 25mb worth of space..wow, apk boots fine on froyo, trackball support for mouse with left click. Unfortunately I'm at work and my roms are at home, so i haven't tried a game yet.. very exiting, anybody else tried yet?
Jesus ****ing christ, it's amazing! I was able to boot up DoTT with ease. Didn't get a chance to play with it yet (@ work ) but it seemed to be working well. The back button even acted as escape and skipped the movies! Awesome.
The touchscreen/trackball combo is great because sometimes the trackball moves too slowly so you can generally locate yourself with the touchscreen and then hone in with the ball.
I'll give more updates later!

I tried vorbis no camera. Any reason why you went with tremor?
Most ROMs you can get online legally and for free as they're abandonware. I just downloaded DoTT with no problems! And they're only around 10MB
Omgomgomg, didn't have patience too wait, so i downloaded freeware from scummvm site.. went for bass floppy version and it is beautiful
Sound, menu, everything
Will try my dott CD version and samnmax later..
Just went for tremor version because the dev couldn't get it to work on his Samsung, so i assumed tremor might be better/ tougher on the hardware and n1 has nice hardware
Dunno the difference, has to look into it. Does savegames work? Haven't had time to try (@work)
-e
Haven't tried yet. App settings don't save yet. I realized that the DoTT available online is sans speech so I'm going to get the full versions later, through obviously completely legal means of course
So excited! Have a 5 hour train ride coming in a couple of weeks. This will definite keep me occupied!
As promised, I got my hands on a buttload of games
Day of the Tentacle
Full Throttle
Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade
Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis
The Secret of Monkey Island
Monkey Island 2: LeChuck's Revenge
The Curse of Monkey Island eek: I can't believe this is a ScummVM game!)
Sam & Max Hit the Road
Simon the Sorcerer
Simon the Sorcerer 2
And as expected, they ALL run flawlessly! I'm so psyched. HOURS of gameplay. And I have never played the first Indy and I'm not sure about the second Simon.
WOO!
The emulator runs fine on my Nexus One, but when I try to load a game, its can't find the zip in the directory.

Because it's not looking for a zip
Extract the zips to a directory, then choose that directory when adding a game.
Sooo, is this easy to set up? Might just have to put it on my phone tonight.
Ricky - please would you share the place you got your games from?

Check your PMs. As for installation, it's a joke! Just download the apk, get the files on your SD card and you'll figure it out from there.
I think it's best to put them all in a folder on your SD card root called "ScummVM". I don't recall settings being saved until I had everything in that folder.
Thanks again, that's my evening sorted!
Thanks guys, I figured I had to unzip them. Works great!

new capcom emulator CPSEmu

Just tried Super Street Fighter 2 and it works flawless on my play. The biggest plus is the save state feature. My play just keeps geeting better....

xmen vs street fighter seems to work perfectly.
will probably purchase donate version.
is there gamepad support for this app?
Hi guys , sorry for sounding a noob lol , I have got myself this awesome phone and love it ,

trying to get this to run on the leaked ICS rom , I guess it isn't compatible yet , keep getting an error when I try to open a ROM , ERROR: File not found or CRC32 not correct "GFX1"
Im downloading the roms directly through the app, and no joy.
EDIT: Just got it to work, grabbed the rom from another site , had to double check the size of the file and it worked.
yeah you must not give up. you have to find the right rom that works with this emulator. some roms are just clones. Has anyone found a working copy of street fighter 3?
So far I got Marvel vs Capcom, Street fighter Alpha 2, Xmen Children of Atom, Xmen vs street fighter, and Alien vs Predator working

What you need to do is get an emulator (an application that does what the original console/system would do, "emulating it") from the Android Market or grab some of these ones (they work well): http://apps.tigerplay.info/, copy the APK ("installer") to the phone's SD card, then use a file explorer to navigate to and install the emulator.
The other thing you need is the ROM, which is a dump of the game/content for a system. It's not legal to post them here but google can help with this, SNES ROMs end in .SMC for example, CPS (the Capcom games mentioned here) have a lot of files and the emulators just open up the .zip they come in (keeps things more organised), Gameboy Advance .GBA, Nintendo NES .NES.
Try googling "Super Mario World ROM" for example (being wary of dodgy sites) or if you know BitTorrent then you can usually get packs containing every ROM for the system.
Generally what you'll do is put the ROMs in a folder on the phones SD card, open the emulator and browse to the ROMs folder and open a ROM. Because the Xperia Play has hardware buttons you should turn off the on-screen overlay/buttons because you'll have actual buttons you can use, then go to map the buttons to the buttons on the controller.
Some emulator's you'll need to play with the graphics or frameskipping settings to get them running smoothly.
Good luck and hopefully you'll get it going!

Chainfire 3d problems

Hello, i've got a problem when im using chainfire 3d pro v3.3, since i can't load any of the o3d games like shadow guardian 3d, backstab 3d, eternal legacy 3d etc... I've got no idea what im doing wrong. I've installed all the 3 plugins and didn't set any special thing yet.
If its matters the phone is on ginger GB baseband, 2.6.1 prada with its kernel
Any help would be highly appreciated
Thanks forward
I don,t understand what your problem is but if you mean chainfire is not working for you then it is just because you didn't set anything special on ot. You don't just.install it and the plug ins and then expect it to work just like that. You need to set it for every game seperately. For example if u want to play a tegra game you should go to plugins menu of chainfire and set it to use tegra plugin.Sometimes u need to check other options such as reduce textures etc. But only if the game does not work qoth just the plugin. Also in pro version (not on pirated pro versions though) you can set perapp so that every time you launch an app it autosets to the preconfigured settings for that app. Else u need to set it manualy through plugins menu everytime you run the app. Last don't forget to set plugin to none when u are done playing the game or it remains in the last chosen state (eg tegra) which may cause problems. Sry for my bad english,but i hope u understand and that I was helpful
Well then i wasnt really clear with the problems description. Ive ment on that i didnt set any special that ive tested all the 3 plugins with every games above, but after these games launches its just simply quits after a few secs. I guess the rest of the options are for increase the performance of the game u ran at the momment. So thats why i didnt really bothered them all.
But anyway thanks for the suggestion but i already passed/tried them.
Regards

try reducing texture size after setting the desired plugin. many games require that as well.

[share] REAL RACING 3 graphics change

There's a method to change the graphics quality in REAL RACING 3 which needs you to change the files in the data folder of real racing depending on your current graphics config... but for that you need to identify what are the current configs...
But in this method you will just need to know which settings you want..... the configs are
AndroidLow.plist (blurry textures, no real-time reflections only shadows from bridges, car has blob shadow)
AndroidMid.plist (normal textures, no real-time reflections only shadows from bridges, car has real-time shadow)
AndroidHigh.plist (normal textures, real-time reflections of environment and bridges, car has real-time shadow)
AndroidXtraHigh.plist (no difference to AndroidHigh.plist)
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Just decide the config you require based on the above description....
The default path to the configs is "/sdcard/Android/data/com.ea..games.r3_row/.depot/eds/" if you dont see .depot dir then check your settings for show hidden folder......
1) Make backup of all the files...
2) now if you want Highest config i.e. AndroidXtraHigh for you then
3) delete all the files from the default directory (of course after making back up)
4) then from the backup, copy the AndroidXtraHigh.plist to the default directory and rename it to AndroidLow.plist
5) then again from the backup, copy the AndroidXtraHigh.plist to the default directory and rename it to AndroidMid.plist
6) then again from the backup, copy the AndroidXtraHigh.plist to the default directory and rename it to AndroidHigh.plist
7) then again from the backup, copy the AndroidXtraHigh.plist to the default directory and do not rename it....
Same way you can do with other configs also..... :good:
so what we will have in the default directory is the same XtraHigh config files but with different names.... So whichever file the game loads by default we will get the XtraHigh config......
Go and Enjoy RR3... :good:
Worked great for me......

anyone with a Nexus S able to run this game on High? The highest I can go is Medium sadly
Tries this little "mod" on my Galaxy Note 8.0 and it bumped the gfx up quite a bit with renaming XtraHigh to all the other names.
I thought that the Note 8.0 with its quite impressive hardware would use High already but it seems it didnt

I bumped up the gfx one step on the Galaxy Note 8.0 with this little "mod", thanks alot for this
I'm Using An AT&T Samsung Galaxy S3 "i747" & The game just will not run in Any higher quality in that RR3 Graphic's app, So i figured i'd ask here & try to do this manually, Why does my GS2 "i727" Skyrocket, Run this game better than the GS3 "i747"?
On My Skyrocket, the graphic's run in high with mirror reflection's, but on my GS3 I cannot for the life of me get the game Running With High Or Even Medium 2 Graphic's Setting's!
& I Know it can handle it, it work's but then it crashes when i go to repair a car, or even view a car. than sometime's it load's, so i'm not sure what's causing the crashing, but it crashes a lot on the GS3. What's the best way for me to get Reflection in the Mirror's But keep the Other Graphic Level's down a bit? is there a way to fine tune which graphic area's are high & low in the Plist File's?
I Really want to get back to progressing in RR3, As i'v gotten pretty far already, just got the Mclaren MP4-12C, It was a Gold Only Car & 20% Off so i figured id just get it. Is there anyway to Unlock ALL? Like an Offline sort of cheat? which i still want to use my save file to progress & really play the game through, but i'd really like to test drive a few of those race car's i won't get anytime soon. The Veneno Cost's 900 Gold & It's A Gold Only Car. R$ Can't buy the car, So it cost's 100$ to add 1,000 Gold, & This car cost's 900 Gold, Yikes... It's Basically A 100$ Car, they definitely should of thought over those prices for those new car's, it's really hard for a new player to get into this game, especially when i started playing on the GS2 Skyrocket With High Graphic's & No Crashing, Now i got a GS3 & the game doesn't even run in Medium?
Something's very oddly wrong with this GS3. Also Google Play Store, I'v Bought Asphalt 8, & Now Google Play keep's saying Update Game, & When i go to Update The Game, It Say's It's Unsupported? Yet i bought that exact game ON this GS3! & It worked before, now i can't even load the game cause it just say's update, & i can't get the update, cause it's unsupported now? I want to Root My GS3, But i'm being very careful with it, I Rooted My GS2 Skyrocket "Android 4.4.1", Which maybe why it run's in full high graphic's. & the GS3 is "Stock" "Android 4.3."
I Just don't understand why i can't get this one game running on the GS3? Anybody have any idea's? or is there any other RR3 Graphic App's that are good i can test out? I Have to deal with my GS3 for Awhile till i can upgrade, which will be awhile. so it seem's right now at this point i can play maybe 1 race, & then Crash & Force Close. & Sometime's the Crash Is BAD! I'll Finish 4 Lap's To Find Out It Didn't Save. I Just can't take the crashing anymore, but still want to keep playing this game as it's grown on me as something i do a few races a day. but now i really can't sense i switched to a GS3.
I Can Probably record a video Of RR3 Running In High Graphic's, But The GS3 Cannot Handle High Graphic's?
It Act's like it want's to but just crashes & i have no clue where to begin to get it to stop crashing like that. i cleared the Plist & re-installed, It was working on Medium High for 1 day till i restarted my phone, & i had Mirror Reflection's, & they just disappeared & now there smudgy/blurry again. so I'm 100% the game can run in High. But it just won't, Maybe Rooting it will fix the issue? i still never touched it after stock cause of all the new security app's like KNOX, & all those other background program's that make it harder to root the phone. so i'm taking it slow with rooting it.
Dude u r awesome!!!!

You need any filecommander and copy the apk to any folder. Open the .apk with MT manager and make step 4-6. In MT manager you can sign apk. Then make steps 10-13.
doesnt work atm, any another solution?
The directory structure changed, it's now $GAMEDIR/files/apk/res/eds
The directory rebuilds itself upon launching
in 2020 we cant change files, if we alter files then when we start the game, it will download all the files that we altered. how to prevent this?
