[Q] Reicast Crash & Skyrim Streaming Issues - Shield Q&A

Hey, everybody! A couple questions since I'm new to the Shield, and this being my first time on the XDA forums in about a year. Pretty refreshing!! I'm a little confused about this issue, because I have Reicast, the Dreamcast emulator, on my Shield and it works flawlessly. Unfortunately, after convincing a friend of mine to get one, he tried to set it up and it keeps crashing. So I set up the emulator just as I did on his Shield. Using the same roms and the exact same BIOS. As soon as he clicks on the game, it goes straight to the home screen. Exact same result as when he tried to set it up himself. On my shield, it goes to the game and works just fine. I've tried both the Play Store and Unofficial versions. Has anyone else had this crash and fixed it? We're both using the KitKat update. The only main difference is that my Shield's bootloader is unlocked and is rooted, though his is not, my Shield was able to use Reicast before-hand so I know that's not the issue.
About Skyrim, when I stream it, it makes a very loud screeching noise when I try to select something in the menu. That's about it for that one, since that's a problem with my Shield, I can try to follow some suggestions and ideas at the moment.
Thanks so much for reading this, if you have, that is!

making those pesky snes roms work

I was wondering if anyone had any luck getting specific snes roms to work. The game I am having trouble with is Secret of Mana 2.
It loads, gets to the title screen, then after i hit start, it goes to and stays black. This happens with a few games, but most work just fine. However, this is the game I am most interested in playing =p.
I am running the snes9xj4u on the tmobile mda. Any suggestions or solutions would be much appreciated. Thanks.

asphalt 4 fault?

hey guys,
I got asphalt 4 for my beloved hd2. It plays ok in career mode until i get about 30% through. Then the game just crashes. It basically just disappears?
One minute it is racing fine then the game simply stops and i am back to the clock screen on the phone. If i access task manager it no longer shows the game as running?
I have tried chainfires great hd2 driver and that has not resolved the issue. I tried uninstalling the game and installing it direct onto the phone, instead of the storage card, still i get the same thing happen. Sometimes just before it stops you can see a couple of horizontal lines appear where the car is. Also it seems to happen when the car crashes with another car. Maybe too much info for the graphics card?
So does anyone have any ideas? Also i do not know if it is connected or not. However, today also opera browser started doing the same thing?
cheers for any advice/help.

I use Spalshtop HD daily. Never had any issues. I don't really put my PC to sleep, so I haven't run into that issue. You might want to consider contacting Spalshtop support about that one. As far as the app on my TF goes, it's never crashed on me. I just used it about 20 minutes ago. Have you tried uninstalling and re-installing? Are you sure you have your ports set up correctly?
thanks for reply,
ports have not been touched, it's default setting am using, what should there be?

I'm not saying you need to change any settings, but your router's firewall may require you forward a port for it to make a connection. For instance, I have my router set up to use port 6783 for Spalshtop. Not sure how I decided on 6783, it's been a while since I set it up.
maybe you using splashtop version on tablet and pc diffirent, you can try download or using another vesion on pc. It work to me

Check that both the client and server parts are right up to date is all I can think. Like others I use splashtop on a daily basis with no issues. In fact I think it's great. I have it running on pcs and laptops, phone and transformer and have never had a single glitch.
Oh actually there is one issue but I ignore it. When I connect to a freshly turned on pc and login splashtop loses connection right after login and then I have to re-connect. Anybody else have this?
thanks all for advice,
am using the latest splashtop on pc & also tablet. Funny thing is that itwas workin fine at first then started messing up?? wht about pc sleep issue? pc does not sleep (mode) when splashtop is running, i have to turn off splashtop. I thought the pc should sleep cos thats the whole issue of having wake-on-lan function?
av just realised...splashtop is crashing/closing when am switching between folders etc. So each folder it would close. When am playing a video it would just stay closed (instantly shut down) until i turn the video off on my pc, then is back to normal.
Would be helpful to know what you are doing when it is crashing. The only thing I use mine for is to do a botcheck in a game instead of keeping my laptop on my lap. I have never had this issue. Maybe it's something else you are trying to do. When specifically is it happening. Splashtop will want to know all of this when you contact them anyway.

as mentioned above, it's crashing when am switching between folders, so if i want to go into picture folder then it would shut down for each folder. re-start will take me to next folder....hope that makes sense

What you are saying is clear, but it isn't a common problem. Since it appears to work for everyone else, there must be something going on with your particular setup. It could be on either the PC or Transformer side. Your probably not going to get a great deal of help with the PC side of things here. As far as your TF goes, what ROM are you running? Have you tried performing a full wipe and re-flashing your ROM? Are you even rooted?

hi, yes i am rooted using revolver..Splashtop works fine on my iPhone but just on TF it's not working..i'll try the wipe & flashing but can't really be bothered to re-set the whole thing again. thanks anyway
I will admit that i installed the splashtop streamer on two of my computers, both windows 7 with similar software. One of them it works perfectly, the other one it constantly goes off and on, and good luck trying to connect to it. I figure there is a software conflict with something. I could never figure out how to blank the screen when you connect so I just switched to 2x remote. i have not tried the HD version either, though it uses the same streamer app. I would try removing some programs from your startup (msconfig) and see if you can get it to work better.

Where's My Water

Is anybody else having the same problem as me:
I can't play Where's My Water unless my Wifi is on.
Meaning I can't play this game offline.
Is there any way to play this offline? I'm going on a road trip this weekend & would love to play this on the road but why is Wifi needed to play this game.
Is this only happening to the Galaxy Tab because I know for a fact that this doesnt happen on my phone.
I have Where's My Water on the Amazon app market since it was a free app of the day at one point. I have turned off Wifi and restarted my Tab and then started the game and it ran with no problems.
What exactly happens when you start the game without wifi on?

"unfortunately, Where's My Water has stopped working."
But with wifi on there is no problem. It plays as it should.
I just want it to play this game offline. I dont have the Amazon version.
Hmm that's really strange as I don't have that problem. I take it you got it off the Play Store then if you haven't gotten it from Amazon.
Even though I know you probably have a decent amount of progress... Have you tried re installing it? As in uninstall it and re install it from the Play Store? I'm not sure what to tell you as I don't have the problem.
Yes, I'm having the same issue!! It's aggravating as HELL! Yes, I reinstalled it and wiped the data also. I hope someone finds a fix for this.
Don't have this problem
I don't seem to be bothered by this issue. Where's my water always works in my GT-P6200][De-Odexed & ZipAligned][DXLC1] rom (with **FROST**BITE**V1.0 theme by the way). Also got it from the Google Play Store.
I don't think online connectivity is needed at all, games from e.g. the Humble Bundle (all offline installs) do work without internet connection.
They are recognized by the Google Play Store, but I can't update them via that way because they're not bought via that channel.
Ihave the same problem, once my wifi doesn't have any connection to the net the application doesnt run, but whenever i have the connection it run smoothly what do you think the cause of this problem
Same problem here
why I cannot play game without wifi
I think it might be checking to validate the app is an authorized purchase from the market on start up. Would be my logical guess at what's happening.
So for offline play you'll need a cracked/pirated apk of the game that you've already purchased.
installed on my rooted GT P6210 where's my water free version from playstore and works fine even without wifi.
I just bought the game a while ago from the market. Very addicting game! I'll try to check later if I have the same problem.
Update ur game.. if,cant doit.. u must be,Uninstall ur old game with the new game. The new game come with,minor bugs..

I`m having this same problem.
I play in my Nexus w/o any problems (with or w/o WIFI)
But i installed it in Tab 2 and there is the same problem. Only working in WIFI ON.
I think there`s a problem with the purchase authentication.. Because i installed directly from my play store...
where's my water only online
Hello,
I am able to play this great game (purchased !) only online. !!
As soon as no WiFi is there the game crashed.
My tablet is a Toshiba AT200 with the update to ICS ( Android V 4.0)
I found in other threats also here that the developers of the Disany game are trying to solve this behavior ofr the next bigger update of "Where's my water".
I will be happy to here more about this solution.

I'm beginning to think this is an ICS Tablet problem. I know for a fact that my ICS phone does not have this problem but the ICS tablet cannot play Where's My Water without Wifi.
Can someone who has Jellybean on their tablet confirm that it does work with Wifi but not working on ICS tablet. That way we can eliminate that the problem is ICS
I've got a nexus 7. It works fine with a wifi connection but crashes if no available network or in aeroplane mode. Same behaviour with Where's my Perry
Same thing happened to me on Nexus 7 running rooted stock jelly bean. Neither where's my water nor where's my Perry would start without WiFi. Now, where's my Perry works fine offline but WMW still crashes.
Was this ever solved?
I have a nook HD+. I have Where's My Water on my nook. I have not been able to play this game for quite a while. It wasn't until I landed on this thread that I even thought about turning on my wifi to play this game. What's up with that???

XCom - Enemy Unknown, Running on XOOM?

Has anyone figured out how to get this game to run on the Xoom?
Haven't tried it. What happens for it not to work?
Did you ever get XCOM running properly?
I can launch it, and start the first mission, but then it goes all black except parts of the GUI flickering across the screen. Strange, since Play Store lists the Xoom as compatible.
Running CM11, 4.4.4 btw.
