Okay so currently honestly I don't have much done on the game. I am mainly just curious to see what devices it will currently run on. You should need 2 + version of android to test. Link for download below!
Project Description:
Polar Pace is going to be a downhill racing game with snowmobiles. I hope after this 2d version to eventually jump into 3d. This is going to be my first launch into android programming so please don't be to harsh!

Downloading and happy to be the first
HTC Desire 2.2 Report:
- Game Installs, Starts, And Runs
- Start / Exit Button Work
- After i pressed start the game shows it content, background is still and snowmobile is standing still.
- the three lines of numbers jumps from
*0,95-1,2
*9,2-9,3
*2,4-2,7
- Game works in landscape mode too, same as horizontal mode, with same numbers.
- No buttons on the device works for the game, back button takes me to the menu tho..
Hope this were to some help =) and thank you for developing for android, the more the better. i want to see the android system beat apple far down and make them cry for loosing all they once had..
Nexus One 2.2 report:
- Install OK
- Do not run after open, see only the first screen with a car (?) and a scrolling list of number on top-left part
EVO 2.2
Runs and starts.
No controls.
3 numbers rolling constantly in top left corner.
I'll load this on once I flash a new rom onto my phone. Would love to help beta test this.
Dell Streak, Android 2.1 update 1
Game installs and runs, but the game is only a stationary snowmobile with scrolling numbers in top left.
Still, no such thing as a bad start, good luck!
Samsung Galaxy S running JP2 froyo firmware. Game installs and runs with main menu showing with start and exit buttons working. Snowmobile stationary and scrolling numbers in top left. No controls

If you need help with any graphics or textures let me know and i will do the best i can to help you out =)
HTC Incredible, Froyo (Virtuous ROM, which is basically stock):
Downloads, installs, runs.
Numbers at the top are not stable but appear to be hovering near 0.0 +/- (first two) and 9/10 (third).
Thanks everyone so much for the support! It seems it is working correctly on all devices. If the numbers are moving that is the accelerometer data. The Image currently does not move yet that is what I am working on next.
HD2 running Nexus One 2.2 report:
- Install OK
- After I push START I only see the first screen with a snowmobile and a scrolling list of number on top-left part, can't quite read the numbers...snowmobile doesn't move, nothing else happens.
-Exits fine
- Rotates fine
Just saw your post, so I can report it is working fine on my HD2!
phone: Samsung Vibrant
Rom: Eugene vibrant9
lagfix: yes
status: installs and starts fine, top left has 3 scrolling numbers.
Looks like it's working.
Phone: Moto Droid
Rom: UD7
Status: Installs and starts right up. Exit and start buttons work fine. Three scrolling numbers in the top left, no movement from the snowboard. Switching to landscape cuts the bottom half of the snowboard off.

HTC Desire Froyo Report (Leedroid 2.0b) @ 691 MHz
1. Successfully installed
2. Able to launch the game
3. Start Button works
4. Static Image displayed with 3 numbers running on the top left corner
5. Back Button took me to the start screen
6. Exit Button exits the game
hope this helps.. regards..
Okay thanks everyone for the support! You have all helped. My latest news update is posted below. They are what I am adding for the next release.
1. Disable Rotation - I will disable rotation so the game may only be played in landscape view as it gives the best viewing for Polar Pace's game design
2. Move Snowmobile - I will make it so that the snowmobile will be able to move around the screen using the accelerometer
3. Create Trees - Trees will be the first part of the gameplay. You must dodge the trees. The first mode I am working on in the game is the downhill mode! After that I will create track based racing.
If you have any suggestions please let me know.

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.
Hey guys XDA added an article for those looking to add additional cars.

GTA for Android sure is turning out to be something great. It has me thinking of all the possibilities for PC game ports. I know it's probably a pipe dream, but my mind keeps circling back to Half Life 2 .
Thanks Phil. Finely, modding a game to add content, not to cracking it to make it work. Hats off to Rockstar.

This was posted somewhere else on XDA but i thought i would bring it here because a lot of people want this on the Xperia play.
You can do all of these manually but this application makes it as simple as yes or no.

from tapatalk on xperia play.
Superb app, works perfectly! Thanks very much
Am I missing something here? When i run GTA III on my X-Play, it occasionally lags, when I add these settings, it lags even more? Nothing is running in the background, just the game? Am I the only one?
Also, is there any way to change the on foot controls to 'X to run' 'Square to Jump' etc. Don't mind the driving controls, but since I'm so used to all the other GTA's, the on foot controls always confuse me. I'm talking about the hardware controls, not the touch screen controls. Thanks.
Because enabling the.lights etc add more things the game has to render but makes the game.look better. I put the rendering down to 4 with lights enabled and it runs fine.

f2k8 you're right. I don't know how others' Xperias handle this, but my Play can barely render 15 frames per second (my guess) when playing on normal settings. I've tried this app, and it works, but then the game ran like 2-3 frames per second, really horrible. Could not finish one mission with that, had to revert back to default.
I should add that I am not using any tweaks and my phone is not rooted or overclocked and ****, I am simple not a friend of this stuff.
i have a overclock to 2ghz and the game run smooth!!!

Not bad.. gave it a go on my transformer and just got 19xx to play. When creating the cache images of any other game like mvc, I kept on getting error messages, something about crc and CPU1 (sorry, I forgot exactly what the message said, but I will check later). The roms are ok as I know for a fact that they work.
One other thing is that I couldn't change directory and the device did not look on my SD card to see if the roms were there or not.
That said, 19xx plays butter smooth, although the on screen controls could be better (ie the cross pad a bit larger as it is very easy to run your fingers out of it). I still have to try with my TF keyboard though.
Good job otherwise. I will test on my EVO 3d and report back.
Are you really going to make the GUI for NeoDroid white?
I know this is minor, but I much prefer the black. Perhaps an option?
Also have you considered using the menu button to open a menu with settings, email, exit, rather the the icons at the top?
For devices with a small screen and lots of roms, every bit of screen space helps.
In any case good work with these projects.
:edit:
I realize this is verison 1.0 and you probably have changes and additions in mind already.
A couple other things I noticed, in Marvel vs Capcom the lower buttons are punches and the uppers are kicks.
And the option to disable sound would be nice.
:edit 2:
I'm having a little trouble mapping hardware buttons. When I press up dpad (on a ps3 controller mapped to the phone's hardware dpad) for the first key, the clear button turns blue (highlighted) and it doesnt map the keypress and move on to the next one. In neodroid the mapping works fine
Works great with the games that are compatible, hope to see more games added in the future and the on screen pad is a bit small would be so much easier if it was enlarged a little bit, but that is my only complaint. This emulator is silky smooth and it's so awesome to bust out STF3 and it play flawlessly!

I've only tried a handful of games and all ran perfectly on the xperia play.
Will purchase full donate version. no doubt.
Will this emulator be able to play CPS1 games?
All the best.

Every rom i've played has been silky smooth.
It's the fastest Emulator that i've tried on my XPlay.

- You are probably trying to run a "clone" rom, which need the "parent" rom. Look in the "Compatibility" tab (search button), if there is a line with "parent:xx.zip" then you also need "xx.zip" to run your rom.
- You can just use the "back" button of you device to browse to your roms directory, each time you launch a rom this path will be saved as default rom directory.

- Unfortunatly, google now ask developper to not use the "menu" button anymore, so i add to find another way: the menu bar.
- w00t, i see why this is happening for the buttons mapping, i will investigate in this problem and release a fix soon (in a few days)

For now the emulator need to use cached graphics on your device, so it need to read this cache file a lot during emulation. I had no slowdown on my xperia, but i use a 8GB sdcard. I guess your sdcard is a small one or a slow one.

W00t, i did forget to include that (it was planned!), i'll add that for the next release.
Excellent first release so far, looking very forward to making this my go-to CPS emu. Few things i'd like to point out from someone whos been using emulators on android for years. My config is a Touchpad running CM9 @ stock 1.2ghz dual core.
Sound is off. You can tell immediately from the insert coin sound in SSF2T and Vampire Savior, they do not sound accurate.
Games feel laggy. At first when i tried SSF2T, it was incredibly laggy, but then i found how to disable the filter and it was smooth after that, but still had a weird lag to it. The addition of a FPS counter would be excellent to see whats going on.
No support for players 2-4 to be configured in hardware buttons. I have 4 wii remotes + 4 classic controllers + 2 TVC Wii arcade sticks, so i have the ability to get 4-player arcade games going ontop of full 2-player fighter games with full arcade sticks, which i use with Mame4Droid often. Would be a great addition.
Emu runs in compatibility mode in Android 4.0. Instead of the menu button being natively working, it scales everything to fit the screen. It still looks great, but native 3.0+ support would be great.
Otherwise this is a great emu and i am enjoying it quite a bit. I would also love for CPS1 to be emulated at some point as well, to get all 3 major emus (CPS1/2/MVS) done by the same author would be awesome to have everything uniform.
Excellent work and keep it up.
quepaso: your maybe running roms from on a slow sdcard/memory ?
Version 1.1 uploaded with a few/fast fix, i'll work on all other request soon

The touchpad just has 32 gig of internal storage which is quite fast, no SD card of any kind. Ill update to 1.1!
Edit -
Updated to 1.1, and indeed it is now running natively in 3.0+, no more compatibility mode. Now however, i am running everything non-stretched, and the top bar ontop (touchpad is 4:3 res so gets mostly full screen for CPS2, full screen for console emus like snes/nes) is black and the bar below is grey. I thought something got weird so i switched from stretched, scaled and native, and noticed the background goes from black to grey now, previously on 1.0 it was all black. Due to this, it looked like 2 incorrect levels were displayed on top/bottom when it likely is just a bitmap change to the background causing it.
Otherwise, i think the games are running properly, but the sound being so wrong is making me think it is not running 60fps. Great work so far.

Great! Thank you for the answer. I will install 1.1 and I will let you know how it goes.
Edit: ok, I installed 1.1 on my TF and you were somewhat right about the roms.... ironically, the ones that do run are the US clones. I actually have the (EUR) versions (full roms) and they spit out the error I told you earlier, but once I got the US clone file and ran that, it was good....
I think I may have found a bug. The key assignment....
I assigned hardware keys from my TF keyboard and only the Start, Coin, and dpad are being saved. None of the other 6 buttons get saved for some reason. I did it a few times over, turning off the program, etc and still nothing. I did notice that one of the changes you made included a tweak on this, so I am wondering if maybe something else got lost with the fix.
Looking better and MvsC runs like a champ!
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.

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?

What, the original one? It'll completely crush that.

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.
