Among the listed improvements, I saw steam rise from the vents where your first safe house is located when this this was added (not sure it was there before though).
This will also affect the resolution which won't change much, just the button layout which you can also adjust in the option menu.
I've also encountered slowdowns during cutscenes and a bit of stutter but nothing major.
Also when I installed this, I had no original .set file located in the folder. So I just dragged it there anyway.
Lag Fix
A user gave me an advice on how to combat the lag when adding the file above or lagginess in general:
"When you have successfully installed the game. Plug your phone to the computer go in to the "audio" folder. Here you have to arange the files from biggest to smallest. Then delete all the files from "CHAT.nfx" down to "END.nfx". It's a totall of 11 files. What this does is that it delete all the radio channels but all the sound FX in the game will stay the same. I have tried it out and after I did it the game runs smoothly".

Enjoy! All credit goes to listed site and users!
erm tegra 2 users already get all those effects dont we ? I would much rather have a frame rate fix. I expected the game to atleast run at a constant 30fps on our hardware. I constantly notice the slowdowns... i guess maybe pc games have spoiled me but has anyone else been annoyed by it.
ps. i think first update in market renders this mod pointless
No we don't. Its still version 1.1. Try it first.!

looks like its working because I see lighting effects on cars and streetlights now. It doesn't look like the buildings have all the lighting effects as in the screenshot, but I have nothing to compare it to really. Thanks for the tip, very easy to do.
Only one problem though, when you're watching a cutscene or looking at the map the skip button is in the middle of the screen. No big deal though.
That's weird then, i definitely have all the effects pictured in the comparisons (flares from lights, rain, smoke etc.) I'm not sure what version you guys/i am using but i will post some pics tonight. Maybe this explains my poor 20-30fps performance.
I'm currently using the market version. Supposedly it's been ripped from the xpleria play.
maybe try go to options to restore controllers to default? iirc mine wasnt at the middle of the screen. I hope later there are some ways to improve the graphic texture, that would be nice
Looks better but new .set file messed up my on screen controls

You can rearrange it on the controls settings.
I have GTA from the market and updated it yesterday - i tried this file, but did not notice any significant (I say it was the same) improvement over the standard .set file (only controls were messed up).
The game looks amazing with the file. Maybe you just didnt make note of what it looked like prior, cause mine looks way, way better.
Tried again - still nothing - and just in case I went through some comparison shots - rain effects, headlights and lightning effects were there for me even with the standard file... maybe I'm missing something.

Hello everyone, for those who aren't familiar with Sixaxis Controller app, it is an app you can use to you pair your ps3 controller to your android device to play game. Well one of the coolest feature that the app offers is the Touch Profiles (root required). This feature allows you to use your ps3 controller to play those games that do NOT support game pads or controllers. You simply bind your hard controller buttons to the onscreen virtual buttons. If you want to know more about it, google it or search on xda.
Anyway, so the purpose of this thread is to share those pre-made touch profiles. This will save time for a lot of people, whether you are a newbie, an experienced user but don't have time, or simply a lazy bum. If you are sharing your touch profiles, please provide important information such as device resolution, in-game settings (control schemes, sensitivity, and etc...), a list of key functions, and any other important information that may be needed to make your touch profiles work on other devices. Also if you can also attach a screen shot of the button mappings, it would be cool too.
HOW TO USE
1) Touch Profiles are in *.map format. Simply put it in /sdcard/data/com.dancingpixelstudios.sixaxiscontroller/profiles/
2) When open up Sixaxis Controller app, once your controller is paired, simply choose the right touch profile from the drop-down menu. (right under the "Pair Controller" button)
reserved for the master list
reserved for my own touch profiles
Just attached touch profiles for N.O.V.A 2, BackStab, and Modern Combat 3. These touch profiles were tested on my Acer A500, with resolution 1280x800. Theoretically, they should work on devices with the same resolution. Unfortunately I don't have any other device to test them on. I wrote down the list of hard button functions, but that list is on my PC, which cannot boot at the moment due to some hardware problems. When I have time, I will open up the game and recompose a list of what the button functions, then i'll edit this post. In the mean time, you still can download my touch profiles then go in the game to figure out the control.
ps. don't forget to rename the attachments to *.map after you download them. follow the the simple instruction from post #1 then you're set to go. Enjoy!

Hi everyone. I purchased the game Reckless Racing2(fun and great game!!) for my Transformer tablet. Anyway, I made up a touch profile for the game, but I had one thing that I wish I could change, if possible. When I come to a point in the game when I had to chose from a menu, I would like to scroll through using the up,down,left,right and then hit start to pick which option that I want, rather than having to assign a button to that option. For example, in my RR2, I have L1-L2_R1-R2 set to chose which option I want. But is there a set up where I can use the DPad to highlight these options? Thanks in advance

as far as I know, regular buttons (like how you are using) is the only way to select the option menu right now. I would definitely submit this idea to the developer for future updates. Right now it doesn't bug me too much because I play directly on my tablet, thus it's within reach for me to mess around with the menu. But I can certainly see that it would be an inconvenience if you play on your HDTV or sit far from your tablet.
and i'd like to apologize everyone for taking forever to update the control for the uploaded games. It's been very frustrating the past few days in trying to get my computer fixed. after many tests and windows reinstallations, i've finally figured out that my motherboard is the cause of the problem. It's now being RMA's so I hope the process won't take too long. I also hope that this thread gets more popular so we can have a larger database of touch profiles and as well as different control preferences.
here are some profiles for some games, just download the .map file guyz

Been looking for a thread like this. I love this app and have used it nonstop. Made a few profiles.
First is GTA. No offense to the previous posters GTA profile, but this one does everything in game, down to changing the radio and working the horn.
Droid Bionic 960x540
http://db.tt/xF6jiYpL *updated to v1.4
*Note -There are 2 profiles. Gta.map is the normal game mappings, and gtasniping.map was made specifically for sniping. I don't use the left analog stick in the main profile because I found if I go under 'Input Mappings' in settings and set each the 'Analog up' to 'Dpad up', 'Analog down' to 'Dpad down', etc. It works so much better then the touch analog mapping for walking and driving.
However this screws up aiming while sniping because it moves too fast. So you can switch to the sniping profile which fixes the left analog stick for aiming, but now it is hard to run and drive. You can still use the Dpad for movement in this profile but I prefer the analog stick. So I switch back and forth. There isn't much sniping anyways.
*Note 2 - The controls are not the default layout. I moved things so that they were out of the way and more visually appealing. I have included the gta3.set file, which is the game itselfs controller settings. Place this file under
/sdcard/Android/data/com.rockstar.gta3/files/GTA3, and overwrite your current version, out just drop the file in that directory if no such file currently exists. This will make the controls match the touch profile.
Mappings:
X- Run/drive (update: now used to skip cutscenes and exit map)
Square- jump/brake & reverse
Circle- shoot
Triangle- get in/out of car
R1- handbrake
R2- change weapon
L1- change radio station
L2- horn
R3- drive by shooting Right
L3- drive by shooting Left
Start- toggle taxi/vigilante/etc missions
Power - Map
Analog Right- camera angle. In sniping mode, press forward for zoom in and back for out. *see note below.
*Note 3- when using the right analog stick, press it gently in the direction you want. You will get a better response then jamming it forward, backward or sides. Especially for sniping zoom.
I have spent hours upon hours trying to perfect this profile. Although I've never been able to map anything to the menu screens since I have used every button in game. I hope you enjoy it. And if anyone finds a way to make it better, please do so.

As for my other profiles. Next is Cartoon Wars: Gunner. A fun and simple game that doesn't really need Sixaxis controls, but it does make things smoother.
http://db.tt/F7YGBzUS
The Gunner.map file goes under /sdcard/data/com.dancingpixelstudios.sixaxiscontroller/profiles
Do Not include the folder.
Mappings:
Left analog- movement
Right analog- shoot left or right
Start- pause
X- selects Ok when game is paused
Square- gun 1
Triangle- gun 2
Circle- gun 3
L1- next gun. Also hits 'next mission' on menu screen.
R1- special ability

Dead Space v1.1 (abandoned)
http://db.tt/2rze2SQu
I am abandoning this mappings as its too flawed and buggy. This game was never many to be played with a controller, and it really shows.
I've set most of the buttons right, but because of the close proximity of everything, doing one thing can to easily set off another action. The biggest offender is shooting when just looking. Too much ammo is wasted needlessly. EA did a great job with the touch controls.
But for anyone determined to play with a Sixaxis. Here it is.
Left analog - Walk
Right analog - aim
R1 - Bring up gun
R2 - Extra buttons. (upper right corner)
Circle - gun selection 2 (R2 1st)
Triangle - gun selection 1 (R2 1st)
X - shoot
Square - reload
L3 - Double click to 180 turn
R3 - Objective arrow (R2 first)
Dpad down - Stomp
Dpad up - Plasma saw
Depending on the On screen action, you can sometimes use the right analog stick for them.
Can't imitate the phone shake.

Do Not include the folder.
Mappings: R1 - Shoot
X - jump
Square - reload
L2 - Stats

Analog right- aiming
*Note* I don't use the left analog stick in the profile because I found if I go under 'Input Mappings' in settings and set each the 'Analog up' to 'Dpad up', 'Analog down' to 'Dpad down', etc. It works so much better then the touch analog mapping. If this does not work for you, you may have to alter the profile.
I will be making updates to this as the game gets updated. Game is very basic right now. Only one weapon, no bomb planting.

Device info
I think it's going to be important for people to remember...
When you upload a button map, people are going to need to know what device and/or resolution you're working with. It makes a huge difference.
I'm looking to make this playable. I'm a total noob at FPse but getting the hang of it. At one time I had FF7 smooth as silk but several Roms and kernels later plus the OpenGL plugin makes things look awesome but laggy.
Anyone have any luck with the opengl plugin with FPse and what settings do you use?
I'm on the latest Megatron and some recommended kernel. Overclocking to 1400 didn't help much.
I think I remember running it as a phone app vs tablet app helped a lot but no longer get that option anymore. Suggestions and tips anyone?

Settings settings settings. You have to fiddle with em in FPSe. I play FFVII on my Note too. Funny thing is....the settings seem different every time, but nevertheless, i usually get it working.
Also, CM9 had absolutely awful 3d performance when I was running it. It forced me to run back to a stock based rom. So if your using CM9, run GLbench or something similar and compare scores with others here to see if youre suffering from the same problem.
Lastly, if you have a super high speed Micro SD card, try placing the ROM and BIOS there, or swap it to your Internal SD if it's already on your External SD.

Good advice. Yea setting seem key here and some don't really give descriptions and they don't always stick and they don't always take effect immediately.
So tuning setting can be a pain when your constantly restarting the app and loading a ISO after each setting toggle.
Good to know about stock vs cm9. I'm running Megatron which is AOSP I believe. I think last time I had great success was on the stock-based roms. Good idea about the internal vs external storage. Right now I'm running off external class 6, I believe.
I guess another question is whether the TF101 can run FF7 at full speed with the OpenGL plugin?
-UPDATE-
Yea after playing with some settings, it is running pretty good. Audio gets screwy sometimes during opening battle scenes but otherwise plays at 60fps. Choppy audio during scene/battle changes is a buzzkill though but the graphics of using the OpenGL plugin is great. Looks sweet. So I guess it is a good trade off.
I am still using Megatron CM9 but flashed to Harmony kernel. Set governor to Performance and CPU to 1408mhz. Typically the governor and CPU doesn't play a huge role in the performance but I didn't test before and after. Just saying it is working pretty well.

I'm getting 59-63 fps with metal gear solid and ff9.....50-59 fps with rayman and tekken 3....These are by far the best settings i tried. Try them and let me know. I dont recommend these settings on a lower end device. Try these settings on gs3 (all versions) and htc one x (all versions) and you just might get the same awesome performance on a galaxy nexus too!

Im not sure how to use this site so if you wouldnt mind emailing me my email is [email protected] please and thankyou
What would be the best settings for FF Tactics?
I did pretty much the same settings as you guys did, and although it's a bit smoother now, it still lags like crazy during scene transitions and animations during special moves.
guys what is this and should I turn it on?
advanced blending
I am playing everything smoothly on galaxy note 2,both on stock and on ovrclocked settings(1.7GHz CPU,640MHz GPU)
Here are my best FPSE settings v. 0.11.93
After the update things went a bit screwy.
Though I was able to get things working properly except for the intro video in Chrono Cross or Lunar Silver Star Story. They appear black, but the sound runs fine. As far as other games like Tekken 3, Tobal 2, Bloody Roar 2, things are near perfect with texture blending,lighting and anti-aliasing. So I wanted to post my setting since it doesn't seem that anyone else was able to post any setting for my Galaxy Note 2 Sprint. Once again these are my best settings. If anyone has better ones please drop me a line. I hope this will help all my fellow Note 2'er closer to perfect psx emulation.
Cheers!
Hi guys,
On my galaxy s3 and note 10.1 fpse runs also with open gl settings very good but i have a problem with metal gear solid, at the beginning from the game when i go into the water the screen freezes but i can play, when i go out of the water the freezing screen is gone and i can play normaly....
Does anybody have also this problem???
Please help me, i dont know where in the game this problem appears again, hope for positive feedback what kind of setting turns this bug off.

Try switching alpha multipass off and mask bit. It could be also be a problem with advanced blending! Try to play around with the settings i posted and see if it helps
I posted this response to another thread, but thought this deserved it's own thread:
I just installed Guild Wars 2 on mine. This is a VERY viable gaming rig!!
Only issue I found was that when you have a menu up (press esc) and use the mouse to click on it, it does not register the mouse click. Also, you have to use keyboard controls to select another character other then your last played (if you want too) and hit enter to play, clicking the Play button does not register the mouse. Seems more like a calibration issue with the game and the mouse (this is using hardware mouse FYI).
I installed and played Path of Exile as well. Needed a little bit more tweaking of the graphics settings, but over all did REALLY well.
Now, the mouse/touch issue. It has to do with Scaling. By default, the scaling is set to 150%, you need to set it to 100%. Having it at 100% will fix your gaming issues, but will make the desktop ALMOST unusable because of the size of the text. 1920x1080 on that small of a screen, text tends to be VERY small.
So, best thing to do if you want to game and have issues where you need to adjust the scaling, be prepared to tweak it.
To tweak the Scaling:
In desktop, right click on the screen, go to Personalize, Display. It is the percentage at the top. It should have "Larger 150%" selected, choose 100%. You will have to log out to apply.

I posted this response to another thread, but thought this deserved it's own thread:
I just installed Guild Wars 2 on mine. This is a VERY viable gaming rig!!
Only issue I found was that when you have a menu up (press esc) and use the mouse to click on it, it does not register the mouse click. Also, you have to use keyboard controls to select another character other then your last played (if you want too) and hit enter to play, clicking the Play button does not register the mouse. Seems more like a calibration issue with the game and the mouse (this is using hardware mouse FYI).
I installed and played Path of Exile as well. Needed a little bit more tweaking of the graphics settings, but over all did REALLY well.
Now, the mouse/touch issue. It has to do with Scaling. By default, the scaling is set to 150%, you need to set it to 100%. Having it at 100% will fix your gaming issues, but will make the desktop ALMOST unusable because of the size of the text. 1920x1080 on that small of a screen, text tends to be VERY small.
So, best thing to do if you want to game and have issues where you need to adjust the scaling, be prepared to tweak it.

Have downloaded steam and played Far Cry 3 and Team Fortress 2. Its really smooth! Downside is that it takes a lot of memory ): I'm using a type cover since touch cover is a little bit hard to get used too. I recommend getting a external drive for those big games.

I downloaded Warcraft 3 and skyrim.. WC runs everything on max and 1080 with no problem. Skyrim runs at 768p everything turned down fairly well, would say 40 fps+.
As for old times sake I'm going to install anarchy online within the next day or so, which won't tax the system at all.
Btw I scored 7288 on geek bench!
world of warcraft, diablo 3, path of exile, starcraft 2 and eve online running no problem but ofcourse i have to remove one of each coz they wont fit
Has anyone recorded and frame rates for minecraft at various settings? Would certainly trump the iOS and android guys with their little pocket edition.
As for no storage. MicroSD or an external hard drive.
Too bad it gets really hot sometimes :S
I have the following running: League of Legends, Starcraft 2, Diablo 3, Team Fortress 2, DOTA 2.
I hated the scaling, so I am sitting at 100% scaling and I don't mind the small icons and whatnot, but almost every app (not metro) has ability to zoom so np for me there.
Don't bother with changing the desktop scaling to 100% if you don't want to. Just right click on the shortcut, go to compatibility, and check "disable display scaling on high DPI settings" for each game that you need 100% scaling for.
Anyone try Halo?

I would imagine halo combat evolved would be absolutely fine. Someone reported that both skyrim and CoD black ops 2 also run if you play with the settings. Based on that they both require much more powerful hardware than halo 2 I would imagine that halo 2 is also fine.

I just installed WoW on my Pro and it ran fine. Had the settings set to low, I will probably up the setttings to see where the upper limit is. It booted up fast even from the external that I was using. The Pro is no slouch
hey guys, I just got the Pro, and have downloaded the Original Farcry, Left 4 dead 2 and just now installing bioshock... the original farcry and L4D2 plays GREAT!! even with some at max settings! I bought a 64GB Micro SD card and have installed Steam on there which allows me to install about 5-6 more games. I'm so excited! Oh yea, if u wanna know how to install steam on a micro SD card, you gotta follow the tutorial from the link below

I have Halo Combat Evolved running although the game gave the warning that the system was not up to spec. But it plays fine. I am having trouble with COD World at War. I guess I need to tweak some more.
I have Portal 2, CS:GO, Arma2/DayZ, Civ 5, Uplink, SpaceChem, Minecraft and FF7 installed. All work, most work very well, but Arma2 has some issues with resolution.
I have Call of Duty World at War working. The problem was my sound setting. I saw this over at Steam:
-control panel
-sound device manager
-highlight "speakers"
-click "properties"
-On the "advanced" tab set "24 bit, 44100 Hz"
COD would quit on the load. The above change fixed it. Wow the small things make a difference some times.
how about freelancer? i'm pretty sure that'll work great. i just gotta make an iso... i wonder if i'd need a no-cd patch. that's the worst part of playing some old games is that they required a cd for protection. guess i could whoop out old daemon tools.
Just make an ISO image of the disc. Win8 supports ISO mounting, built in (finally!)
I got StarCraft, StarCraft II, Diablo, Diablo II, Diablo III all working. StarCraft and Diablo don't play nice with the PEN and needed some registry tweaking to get the colors right but otherwise work fine.
- Serious Sam 3: BFE in a mix of Low/Medium settings, was pretty smooth.
- Left 4 Dead 2, low settings, was playable
- Diablo III, smooth
All with external mouse and keyboard.

Id like to start a compatibility list here for the Optimus 3D (p920), regarding the GLTools apk.
(if this is the wrong section, or doesnt reflect the spirit of xda at all, please tell me and I'll stop)
As this means a lot of freezing and restarting the device, changing the settings every time, it is very time consuming.
Also the battery will drain in no time ! As Im not sure if xda is the right medium for this, I have not tested many games/apps yet.
Here user "CrashOverride1995" posted the tool "GLTools" apk : (an alternative to Chainfire 3D)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2604723
I also tried this xda version :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2615514
While Chainfire 3D lead to a bootlop on my PACMAN ROM v21.0 with CWM, I decided to give GLTools a try.
Surprisingly it worked at once...well, more or less.
It is written, it should work on most, if not any devices
If you want to take part in this test and have tested a game with various/all settings and made it run, feel free to post the results here.
Ill update the initil post then.
Device / ROM : Optimus 3D (PACMAN ROM v21.0 - JB 4.2.2)
Ill start with Tegra 3.
Tegra 3 games :
Beach Buggy Blitz
Starts with many settings, still has tons of black squares with any setting. Intro menu runs at very nice fps. Main menu keeps beeing active, but as soon as you start the game you can only start driving sometimes. Mostly less then 10 seconds. Then the game freezes and you have to restart your p920.
(on xda version 1.7 it starts with full quality (no black squares) if you just select FAKE GPU and CPU). But it throws you right back to the homescreen after scrolling towards the mountain.)
Dark Meadow
Regardless of settings, only the intro images are shown. The sound loops Many Tegra 3 users have that problem as well.
Glowball Demo :
Regardless of the settings, a black screen shows up for some seconds, throwing you back to the homescreen.
more to come, maybe by you, user ?
Next post will have some Tegra 2 games. (maybe already tomorrow)
Tegra 2 Games :
Hockey Nations 2011 THD
Starts even without GLTools, problems start when you select a game mode. You can play, but the textures are all wrong. Menu textures used as wall and ground for example.
No matter of the settings of GLTools, you will end up in a black screen when a game-option is selected.
You only can see the "action icons" and the black shadow of your player character itself. Nothign else.
Also after this test I decided to order a second battery, as I dont want to mess with my good polarcell too much right now.
After some more experimenting, my new 1600mHa battery is going from 100% to 6 % within 13 hours (on normal use), while it would usually last at least 30 hours on normal use.
I dont say its GLTools fault, but I also dont have GoogleTalk installed...
Maybe its a PACMAN problem...maybe not.
Im not going to waste batterys on testing games that freeze (on this ROM) anymore.
This can be closed, if noone else wants to submit titles, working or not, on the Optimus 3D.
