3d games

What is everyone's opinion on the 3d gaming of this device? I just fired up homerun battle 3d and, to my surprise, it doesn't run as smooth as on my nexus s.

Try out the Tegra optimized games. They will blow you away.

That is disappointing and surprising to hear. Guess I will be able to make the comparison first hand come this Friday

Just because its Dual Core doesn't mean alot of the games will run faster right off the bat. Alot of the games and apps have to optimized to make use of the newer CPU or the dual cores.

Play Samurai Vengeance and then you will answer your own question.

I can't get samurai vengence to work on my inspire 4g, whay can I do?

I have sgs and g2x, too my surprise g2x kicks the sgs ass, although sgs still rocks...
Check dungeon defenders on both . Dungeon defenders on this vs sgs is insane... noticeably better.

Dungeon Defenders uses Unreal Engine which run extremely good on Tegra 2. Nvidia worked with Epic on the Unreal Engine to make sure Tegra run well on it. Tegra 2 optimized games blow away other games out there. Check out Tegra Zone app, there are quite a few games coming.

N64 emulator?

I've heard there is a good one. Where is it and what is it called?

There was one but it was taken off the market. It was called n64oid. It was taken off due too bugs and complaints , Mario 64 and zelda ran smooth as the real thing for me

Yep, N64oid... He was taken off the market, but will come back, as stated by the creator of the app

I have it and it is working just fine for me, if you want unlimited free Apps then go to applanet.net on your phone and download it from there

What would be the best PSX emulator?

In my opinion... Fpse is the best PSX emulator. It is much faster than psx4droid.

Here is the link for the n64 emulator and as for the Roms, I would recommend rom buddy.

Remember this is only compatible with Highend devices but if you want to try it on your phone then try it.

Yeah, I agree with you there. FPSe is way better than PSX4Droid or whatever it's called, but it's not as well known. But schtrucks, the creator, has been developing FPSeCE, the Windows Mobile version, for many years, and he just released FPSe, the android version recently, but it's already as good and advanced as the winmo version because he already knew what to optimize from the years of working on FPSeCE.

gahh tried this on my HD2 and it's lagging like crazy.
haha, what beast of a phone can actually play n64 games?

Many phones can - (the ones with 1Ghz+). It plays fine on phones like google nexus s and other 1Ghz+ phones.

Slightly laggy on a galaxy s. Playable, but you will hear the music skip frequently. I hardly notice any lag at OC 1.2ghz

I have had fairly good success running N64oid on a CM7 Nook Color OC'd to 1.2ghz. Can't give you a frame rate but Goldeneye, Starfox and Mario 64 all run smooth enough. (Sometimes it lags during cut scenes). I've also tried Perfect Dark and Rogue Squadron, but those won't even open on the newest version.
The Nook hardware is hardly latest generation. I would probably compare it to the original Droid.

I have a vibrant and it works flawlessly with no lag at all

No more THD Apps??

Well this is a bummer. I upgraded from Atrix to Atrix 2 and just today I realized that I can't install any of the Tegra2 optimized apps obviously cause of the OMAP chip instead of the Tegra2. Well that sucks. We have a nice powerful phone with a beautiful display but stuck with low-res games.

Yea tell me about it
THD is an Addiction like drugs , once you get a taste of it , you are hooked for ever
Once you go Tegra , You can't go back ...
I've an OG Atrix & I love it
When RockStar Games announced Grand Theft Auto III 10th Anniversary for Android & IOS , I got Waaaay toooo excited & happy , simply because the OG Atrix is one of the few phones supported

Give it time every phone that I have Owned that Does Not Have Tegra Chip can get a Hack to Run the games so having Tegra is semi sorta mute point considering the Hack fakes the games into Running on the phone and there really is No degradation either.

It works for lg thrill, and sgs2, should work for Atrix 2.

It was typed from my phone so who knows probably pressed the caps key or something when typing the message.

Anyone confirm chainfire 3d works without a brick?

Only thing that could happen is a freeze or reboot, my write had the atrix 2 and doesn't want it rooted until after her 30 day period or I would try it.

im using chainfire 3d on atrix 2 now. works great with the exception of punt princess, and bang bang racing not working

Use Chainfire 3d and then install the nvidia plugin, then run tegrazone using nvidia plugin.

Nvidia plugin. You mean nvidia Tegra zone in market? Or what.
Sent from my mAtrix2!!

There is an actual plugin. I'm still hesitant to install chainfire. I'll wait till there is a way to recover from a bad install anyone else tried and succeed?

I installed it. No problems here. Just need nvidia driver.

not sure if its okay to post a link outside xda or to other forum hehe.

Download Chainfire and install, then use this plug-in, you'll have to get the paid version.

I found the pro version. Installed it. Worked. Installed BioBall and Jenga. Works great!! Jenga is so rich with 3D!

Also found a market fix app so I can access apps from any carrier. Kinda cool.

First - they should give GTA VC in correct date. We didn't get it, and now thinking about San Andreas....It's too fast.

I'm not so sure. GTA San Andreas was a huge leap forwards. I have no doubt the current flagship devices will have problems running it, but our beloved Play?

San Andreas is the best gta IMO and as much as I'd love it on my play I highly doubt it will happen maybe on a note 2 ect
But we can only hope!

Gta sa wont run on our xperia play, MAYBE it will in the note 2 and im prety sure that it will run in most of the 2013 devices.
Sent from my Note 2 using xda premium

I dont think it will happen anytime soon and our play will be long out of date by the time it comes out, but i see no reason why they couldnt run the game on the play they had it running on the ps2 not perfectly but good enough to play it so i think it could run on the play, but i dont think it ever will

In my opinion - it should work on Play with Chainfire 3D, minimum resolution amd graphics, and problem with possibly no optimization can be fixed with GameKeyboard. But hope they can make optimize for us, and work on lowest settings. My dream - San Andreas on Play ....

thats not necessarily true, the ps2 only had a 300 mghz processor I think the reason the other ports dont run the best isnt because of the phones hardware but in shortcuts taken in the process of porting them over.

You are quite right about that, and more. if developers tubieran into account the ability of smartphones that can overclock.
Who said we could not play our Xplay to 1.8 Ghz!

Games that work flawlessly on Galaxy S4

Post the games that you've checked are working flawlessly and the games you prefer the most for Galaxy S4
Please don't post any offensive or unwanted stuff...this thread is to let all of us know what games work properly on S4 without any bugs...and what games we all prefer...
I'll start with the ones I've checked:
Raging Thunder 2 works amazingly....everyone must try...
And also Ski Safari works very smoothly whereas it lags a bit on some other high end phones...
Hit the thanks button if this thread helped you...

Not played many on mine yet, but
Beach Buggy Blitz
and
Into the Dead
both work perfectly and look amazing!

Games
Real Racing
C.H.A.O.S
NFS Most wanted :highfive: (free on Samsung app store!)
Iron Man 3
COD Zombies
GTA 3 & Vice City
AND SAS3.

Tried Dungeon Hunter 4, seems to have no lag.

I think the list should be divided into Qualcomm and Exynos part. Not everything will play same in both devices.

I can't find NFS for free on Samsung's app store. Is it under exactly that name? How did you get it or look it up. I'm on AT&T. Does that matter?

Just search "need for Speed" on the samsung app store should come up, and I do not know if your carrier will affect it.

Can someone try vice city? I have it on my nexus 7 and it runs smooth on max settings. I wonder if galaxy s4 has a better GPU than tegra 3 inside nexus 7
Sent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk 2

The tegra 3 doesn't compare to adreno 320 short answer it will smoke GTA. However if the s4 anything like nexus 4 stock kernel (sim chip set I think s4 upgraded a little though) after 15 mins if chip heats up thermal control kicks in and you may get shudder.

OSMOS HD - an AMAZING game, very peaceful, looks fantastic on this 1080p screen, and runs flawlessly
there is a demo for people who want to try before you buy, but the full version is definitely worth the $3 - especially for people who are after a game that is peaceful and not rushed/hard/painful to play
controls are super easy too

No problem, its as completely different game. Its quite amazing, very peaceful and relaxed, yet still challenging and complex. Hard to explain to people who haven't tried it. Glad you liked it.

Plays my two favorite games without ANY issues.
1) Bike Race
2) Granny Smith
I know, I know. Simple games. But those are the kind I get addicted to!

Temple run: oz has a HD plugin that is installed when you load the game increasing the graphics.
Awesome speed and graphics!!
Really shows the S4's screen/processing greatness...
Real Football 2013 is free and very good -
