Dead Space hardware controls not working

I picked up Dead Space from the Android Market recently on my Play, and the hardware controls don't seem to respond at all. Does it matter if I pick up the game from the android market or from the xperia play launcher?
15 minutes went by before I had the game loaded up. EA doesn't respond to my emails. Feels bad man. I haven't been able to find anything on Google about this issue, I'll keep searching though.

You on cm7?

I'm having the same problem here! Anyone found a fix?

Market versions of EA/Gameloft games don't work on Xperia PLAY. If there's ever exceptions, they're flukes.
Sad to say, this is just how it is and it's been that way for a while.

Just like I did, check your receipt (there a contact EA button) and send them a complaint.

So wait, where did all the people in youtube get their .apks then?
EDIT: nevermind.

i bought it yesterday fo 49pence thinking it was for the play, off the market giveaway prices, guess that was a fluke, i also use it on my tf101, what an awesome game, and real pity not optimized for our play.

The EA free version works (1.1.33), the Play Store version (1.1.38) doesn't works in our phone.

This is a absolute disgrace by EA iv sent emails with my purchase and no response! I sent a email from my iPhone and guess what they answered straight away fuming I am !! Still no fix :-(
Sent from my R800i using Tapatalk

any way to grab a .33 version of the apk...i did purchase it, should ea let me pick my version that works...stupid ea

Its absolutely ridiculous that they cant just make the market versions compatible, but instead make us jump through these stupid hoops to get the correct version for our phone.......sigh.......

It's idiotic that EA, or any other dev, doesn't just update all their games with the Xperia Play in mind and just have the code check for it. Especially since I didn't get a chance to really test out the game until after the 15 min window was up.

well for what its worth i sent in a support ticket about dead space two and the correct versions...
also sent gameloft a ticket about NOVA 2 and the lack of support unless i go through them, even though its not stated in android market...even on gamelofts site it shows the xperia play and nova 2 on it..
humm...stupid companies

Only 1.1.33 works on Xperia Play. I solve mine by download 1.1.33 apk and get the SD of 1.1.38... but what's the different between 1.1.33 and 1.3.38? Didn't understand EA.....

Will Real Racing 2 get xperia play optimized ? Or are EA just too stubborn to do that?

Help!
Even though I downloaded Dead Space from the Flexion store, it won't recognize the Xperia Play gamepad and touchpads and the only option it gives me for playing the game is with the touchpad controls. I checked and it is v1.1.33. I also wanted to download Battlefield: Bad Company 2. But it says it isn't compatible with my device. Is the problem that it doesn't recognize my device as an Xperia Play? I really want to play both these games so badly.

and the dead space version 1.1.40?

Aralon - Sword & Shadow - optimized for Xperia Play - all info, updates and my .gkp
I'm thinking about Xperia Play touchpad support. Does anyone dowloaded it? I'm not using Amazon, and it's not in Google Play...
http://www.amazon.com/Crescent-Moon...ie=UTF8&qid=1341558213&sr=1-2&keywords=Aralon
[UPDATE]:
For now (06.07.2012) it's NOT optimised for our Plays.....Hope something will change in the future .
[UPDATE]:
After few days of my .gkp file, made with GameKeyboard, I link it here, so you can play Aralon with GK like an optimized game . Cheers guys, regards!
CLICK!
[UPDATE]:
(05.02.2013) Game is now available in Google Play, check this now -> https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.crescentmoongames.aralon
Unfortunately, without Xperia Play optimize.... :[

god exists. oh good lord. FINALLY.

Is it a MMORPG or like Skyrim game?

Like Skyrim - not MMO. That's why I'm happy .

I might be wrong, but wasn't this supposed to run only on tablets?

Any good?

It's saying it's compatible with my R800a :\
EDIT: Runs RIDICULOUSLY smooth on my Xperia Play, it's all touch-screen though... and I can't do anything about it with GameKeyboard either, sadly

Ooh...... must buy it and play it....... this just screams Xperia PLAY! Good find DikeJ....
Wow, the apk is 310mb. Thank you 64GB SDcard.

if they don't optimize it i'll need to flash xdark ics and get my hands on that touchpad mapping app. Just for this one.

Update. This game was installing for about 30 minutes, after that I cancelled it. Will try again..... all 310mb of that APK...

was it laggy because of joystick center? that's strange... and awful.

I agree with DiKej in his first post - the game runs RIDDICULOUSLY smooth (high for every graphics setting and absolutely no lags at all!) and it's great. Gameloft guys should learn from these guys how to optimize the game. Another good game SCREAMING for Xperia PLAY touchpad support.
In my case 300+MB apk was installing for about 6 minutes (first attempt caused reboot).
Anyone has an e-mail for the developers? Maybe spamming their mailbox with optimization requests will be good strategy, huh?

i email'd the developers about optimization.
Greetings Crescent Moon games. I already played through Aralon on my old iPod Touch more than a year ago, and that was the best iOS game I had ever played. Now I own an Xperia Play and I found out Aralon was released for Android on Amazon. Me, and the whole Xperia Play community, think that optimizing this game for our gamepad (including analog touchpads) would be the absolute best thing ever happened to our phones. That would be a true Elder Scrolls-like experience. I tried using apps like Joystick Center 6 and Game Keyboard with Aralon, but they don't work.
Thanks a lot for your attention.

Hi there,
Unfortunately we don't have xperia phones here to test it...

Glad you like it, hope we can support in the future!

It seems like the only real issue is they don't have phones to test it out. Can we do something about that? Maybe a donation, or emailing sony, or even offer ourselves to test every beta optimized version. I'd do that.
What do you guys think? The game doesn't seem to work with joystick center (the app shuts down when the game runs), and with gamekeyboard (i found out that the circle button actually works but that's it. Strange...)

Hmm... not trying to advertise my site here, but XperiaPlayGamer has a section especially devoted to developers who want to Xperia Play Optimize a game, but don't have a device to test on. It doesn't cover touch-pads but it could get it to a playable state on an essential basis. We could try e-mailing them that?

We *need* to email that to them. I'll take care of it. I also wanted to focus on the gamekeyboard fact about circle button working... i think it has to do with the relationship between the game and apps like that.
edit: he answered "wow thanks!!!" for his iphone. He seems really enthusiastic about this. If they manage to fully optimize this title, the Xperia Play will be on a whole new level, guys.

New N64 emulator "Ultimate N64 emulator"

Title says it all - a new N64 emu appeared on the market and is currently on sale.
Anyone tried it yet? Is it better than Mupen?

May i ask you to add a link please?? XD

heres the link https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.spencorp.n64
It actually looks legit.

"We cannot tell you where to get games, but inside the app you'll find some help!"
I actually LOL-ed. Surely they don't condone piracy do they?
Anyway, please anyone with Xperia Play would you kindly share your experience with the emulator?
I am especially curious about people with stock ROM and NO overclock, just your standard Xperia Play (which I happen to have). Does it support hardware buttons? Thanks.

Its based on the sources from mupen64 ae+ and as this is licensed under the GPL the features of this emulator will also be in the next release of mupen. So unless the dev screwed up it will support buttons and touchpad. Buy this app if you'd like to support him.

Mupen sucks. Has always been slow.

Ps. Just sore a comment on there and it appears there is still work being done on it (I hope not given up on)
Check it (pre - alpha v2.8) running killer instinct without to many glitches.

It can play Donkey Kong 64 too unlike the v2.7 the public has had for over a year without an update.
N64oid is still the best N64 emu to date in my opinion.

yes , n64oid is always the best , but unfortinatlly , i couldn't finish the paper mario ! so many glitch ...
nice to hear update after 2 years , do you have any news about 2.8 version ?

No one tested it yet?

If this emulator is based entirely on mupen, it is almost guaranteed to be slow...it doesn't even work properly on computers, I personally hate that emulator. Unless someone creates/editys an amazing dynarec recompiler like youngzh. There is no way i see this emulator as being able to move full speed on xperia play devices...
Also, on a side note, why does no one include sound compression in emulators like these. Sound compression goes a long way in increasing emulation speed. Just burns me every time the option isn't included in emulators. :/

The market says no for Play and SP but yes for U

It's INCOMPATIBLE with Xperia Play.
LOL at all those enthusiastic people who thought this would run on XP.

All is lost. Goodbye world... waaaaaaa!
EDIT: If they left out the Xperia PLAY due to its ancient hardware, what's the point of making it Gingerbread-compatible altogether? I think it's safe to assume that devices stuck on GB up to today are weaker or at par with the Xperia PLAY. So what's the point Rockstar?

well i think its time to change android...

We have a new PS3/X-Box 360 game just ported to the Xperia Play today -
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2576702
Its Rockstar and the 3rd party dev (War drum studios) that ported it that is the issue here. If they had any care in the world for Android (IOS Fanboys) this game would have been made better and for more devices. Take alook at the market listing, it seams it does not work on any device even if they are modern at the momment.

Look at those 1 stars lol

It's getting one star reviews because it's crashing for some people. They've already patched it once today but it needs another. It's going to be the best game ever once they get passed this latest issue.

The Google Play version lists Android 3.0 as the minimum requirement but the Amazon listing says Android 2.3 which is most likely due to it needing to be compatible with the kindle fire. I wonder if the Amazon version will work if they make it available to devices outside the kindle fire, it doesn't look like it's going to have a kindle specific version.

Any body know if its xperia play optimized?

I installed it on my own 4.1.b.13 and that xperia z rom i ported 2 days ago
On both of them i have problems with gamepad and touchpads so i cant say anything about xpo optimization
But the game is not working well on it
It will be closed when you go home and when you wana play a massion and ...
But the game itself is as fast as gta vice city
I think the problem is related to ram
Can swap partition work exacly as ram?
Because even angry bird go needs more ram (1gb)
I will try swap soon too

I enabled 256mg swap on my sd card then played gta san andreas with my 4.1.b.13
Everything worked fine
Only sometimes i have bad lags but i dont have closed game anymore
As i said before i cant test xpo optimization due to not working touchpads and gamepad in my rom

i think XP needs a good 4.0+ rom

gamepad and touchpads dont work sadly
checked in 4.1.H.0.4 - FIXED by johnnzey r4-1
but the game itself is working well
maybe we can talk to rockstar about that
because if the support gamepads supporting xperia play gamepad is not hard

Are you sure. YouTube videos are saying it is not compatible

They are compatible, but they may not show up on play store with certain android OS. My stock OS that came with my phone here in UK wouldn't let me download GTA, Asphalt 8 and some others. But when I flashed the AT&T OS to my phone, the 4.2.2 version 1.24.XXXX, I could download and play these games. Also 4.4.2 works with these, but not 4.3. By not working I mean being able to download from play store, but they do work across all OS, its just play store being a *****.
Though Asphalt 6 wouldn't work on any OS except 4.4.2 for me.

Ah, thanks, now I think I can buy this beauty. I was deciding between xperia z1 compact and this one. Though Xperia Z1 compact has a miles better processor and camera, HTC one mini is a sheer beauty and I just cannot bring myself to but the Sony even if it is better. I don't care about processor as long as I can play a few games smoothly. Thanks everybody. I think this is a good community. Pity I cannot contribute to android development as I am forbidden by my parents. The money saved I will splurge on a gaming console.

Before you buy it, check out the htc m8 mini first. It might even be a better gaming phone since is a quad core and it has sd card slot(which is really good for flashing rom).

But HTC m8 mini is releasing in may which is a bit late as I can freely use the mobile only for few days of April. Moreover it will expensive. It will certainly between 36000 and 42000k. Even one mini was 40k at launch. Um I mean 60 rupees is equal to one dollar. So yah its price in India will be BTW 600-700$.
