[Q] Cordy & DungeonDefenders - Full Versions or the same as those on the Play Store ?
Ok,
Finally got round to starting to tidy up my Xoom, using Titanium to remove some system apps I don't use / want....
For Cordy and Dungeon Defenders, is there anything special about them, i.e are they the full versions or the same versions as you can get from the Play Store ?
Tried Cordy and it wasn't really my cup of tea, but might keep it if it's a full version (I suspect not mind you).
Cheers,
Rob

I have played cordy on the original os, honeycomb. I beat the game and sometime between then and the ics update, there are new levels that are "pay to play." Since the game came free when I bought my Xoom, I had hoped that any updates or new content would be free as well. Now I wish I could uninstall the game, but it seems to be integrated, like dungeon defenders.

Well, I can uninstall System apps via Titanium Backup. I think there are other apps out there that can do the same, but I've been using Titanium for far too long now to look for anything else

Since i want to play all metal slug episodes (and not just 1 & 2), KOF 2001, 2002 and 2003, Street Fighter 3 Third Strike and other recent roms, i have no choice: TigerArcade
Tiger Arcade. absolutely. Plays NeoGeo CPS1 CPS2. And it has multiplayer support.

Still completely useless to me as it doesn't run any of the MK games. They are the only games I actually want to play on this and they don't run.

Killer Instinct will not run on the Xperia Play. The versions of MAME being used are far too old for it to work.

I play Killer instinct on my phone via Tiger Arcade. And it is actively still updating. Its just that the app is no longer oin the android market. The app is free however if you want to use save/load states it costs $5 to purchase, I paid and its the best thing. Nothing like playing Dungeons & Dragons with save option.
I have played Killer Instinct and Mortal Kombat on here before, I think though on the newer version the Killer Instinct no longer works, however MK does. I think v2.02 was when KI was working, but dont quote me.
It is on the SlideMe market:

I can assure you MK does not work in tiger arcade (neither do MK2 or MK3). I tried it just yesterday.
MK1 works on mame4droid, albeit with glitchy sound and occasional slowdown.

Where to get EA Games like Worms and NBA Jam?

I got Worms from the Google Play store, but it doesn't seem to have gotten me the Xperia Play optimized version - there is an optimized version, right? Where do I get it?
I'm also interested in NBA Jam, but want to know where I should get it in order to get the proper version. I'd prefer the Play store though, if there is a way to get it to give me the proper version. I'm on an r800at, unlocked bootloader, running Gin2Jellybean - and I was able to get the proper version of the Lara Croft game from teh Play store.
I also tried picking NBA Jam from the game launcher which took me to the flexionmobile/gstore, and I found a copy of Worms on there, but it doesn't seem to be the optimized version either.
Thanks,
~Troop
NBA JAM sounds broken according to all of the R800x reviews https://play.google.com/store/apps/...SwxLDEsImNvbS5lYW1vYmlsZS5uYmFqYW1fbmFfd2YiXQ
but they do mention the buttons working
NBA Jam from the play store works fine on my R800x... unless some update killed it... I haven't played it in like 2 weeks...
NBA Jam works fine on my Play, purchased it in Play store, I did have Worms which I purchased from the Xperia game store and it was optimised, but I have since reinstalled my OS and lost the APK. Not actually thought to try and redownload it. Should imagine it would work fine though once logged into EA.
I got NBA Jam from the Play market and it works great. Shows up in the launcher and the controls work! ^_^
Now, if only the same were true of worms, guess I'll pester EA! >_>
~Troop
i wanna got the idea 2, but is there anyone who can give an answer?
I don't think there is an optimised version of Worms.
NBA Jam from Google Play works great.

I haven't tracked down an optimized version yet either, can anyone verify that an optimized version exists? or does not exist?
Also, what's the best way to contact EA to ask about this? Their site didn't seem that helpful in providing an easy e-mail support link.
~Troop
I bought my EA Games from their own Store called Flexion Store. But i´m a R800i user, don´t know if it works for R800at, R800a, R800x users.
I can also confirm that NBA jam is working fine on my r800x.
As far as Worms, I think I had stumbled upon this, but hadn't really watched this video:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GpdiT20g9AY
It does appear that the controls work (though the video is poorly lit), though that is a foreign version of the game.
Still don't know where to find it optimized though...

[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.

Six-Guns Version 1.1.8 Google Play

This new version is available on Google Play and support our device, the Xperia PLAY!
SIX-GUNS MULTIPLAYER 1.1.8
I know some of you guys already have this
I just wanna know if some of you don't have getting force-close when playing this game.
Anything that can prevent this problem from continuous is worth it:good:
I'm just thinking that i might need to buy a new device to play this game flawless, anyway
I haven't played this latest version yet, but I remember the previous version had some slowdown problems and might exit to home screen occasionally. But I am on stock ROM without any root, or overclocking.
I think these games are becoming overbloated as they add new updates...
Also, beware there was a bug in previous version so that you could not finish one mission, which made the game un-completable. I don't know if they removed it.
The game looks very nice and is a unique experience in its genre, but at the same time I absolutely hated the free to play model, it's atrocious. You won't be able to defeat enemies later without having some very strong weapons. I never played it in multiplayer, so cannot comment on that.

2012 Angry Birds & Tetris

Hi All,
I currently own a Note20 Ultra 5G. I want to install games to it that date back from 2010 thru 2012. Below is the list of old games I want to install onto my Note20:
Angry Birds Seasons
Angry Birds Rio
Tetris Classic
Bubble Shoot
Cogs
The problem is all these games exist as installs in an old 2012 Samsung Galaxy Player 5.0. I do not know much about Android apps, but is it possible to migrate an old APK game from an old 2012 Samsung Player over to my new Note20 Ultra? Is APK game software easily movable to another device once it is already installed on a different Samsung device? Or does APK software install itself in a variety of different folder locations?
Lastly, I have looked at Google Play and they seem to have a new modern Tetris and other games. However, they all seem to say "In App Purchases" or "Contains Advertising". I just want to pay for the game a single time and not be bothered with Ads or In App Purchases. Does anybody out there know the best Tetris version I can install onto my Note20 after making a single one time purchase?
Any opinions welcome. Thank you.
