[Q] Anyone having trouble with Humble Bundle games? - Nexus 9 Themes and Apps

I've noticed a few games from the Humble Bundles that don't work.
So far, these games crash on startup:
- Avadon: The Black Fortress ( EDIT: I did get this one to work by downloading the apk from the humble bundle website. When I do it from the Humble app, it crashes)
- Five Nights at Freddy's
- Ticket to Ride
- Anomaly Korea
- The Bards Tale
Could this be a problem with 64 bit? Or Lollipop itself?

I've tried Surgeon Sim and Leos fortune. Both of which are working great

I've had problems with some Humble Bundle Games. It could be for a number of reasons. Remember, it's no different to finding software on windows doesn't work on new versions for <insert reason here>. It could be the runtime switch from Dalvik to ART or just the way it's compiled. I'm not 100% sure if all the major Android releases are backwards compatible. Lollipop is certainly a massive overhaul compare to some previous launches.
I'm guessing broken apps will need to be re-built against Android 5.0. I'm sure this'll happen over time to the import and oft-used apps.
I've launched games from Humbled Bundle no problem, I think Beats Hazard (sp?) flagged an error saying there might be a problem, but it actually ran okay. I can't remember which game it was, but it seemed to fire up and then just disappeared. CTD.

Add Anomaly Korea and The Bard's tale to the list

I suspect this is going to be a 64 bit issue. If it uses NDK, then it probably needs to be rebuilt for 64 bit.

Added. Do you use the Humble app or do you get the .apk from the website and install manually? It does seem to make a difference with some games

The app. I'll give the website a try

according to the Google Play release note, there is a patch for Nexus 9 since 28th of November :
What's New
- Fix incompatibility with Nexus 9
I hope this patch to come soon via Humble App updater...

I saved the APK, doesn't work very well though, seems as if although scores and on base stuff loads in the main menu and refreshes to be up to date, no option to click on the games to listen to the live audio or go for more in depth stats. I am sure there is an update needed for it to work on Froyo as it could be possibly restricted by the firmware version number to prevent users from experiencing un-tested bugs? Most likely will update once Froyo comes out to the public from Google directly (so the devs have some time to play with the new sdk).
Re: mlb at bat app not showing up in market after froyo update...
I've got the same problem with Homerun Battle 3D, I guess I'll just have to wait...

Contacted Com2uS (the developers of HB 3D) and they said the issue is with Google?? and that I need to get in touch with them to resolve the issue.
Is this a bug with the new Market?
The version of froyo that was released was only meant for devices that were sent out as demo/review so google hasn't enabled protected apps for some reason.
There's a fix over in the developers section of N1 with a thread specifically for this... I had the same problem till I did this......
Off topic, but can you watch games on the android version of MLB At Bat? or that that just the iphone/ipad versions? Thanks!
only the iphone verison, which makes no sense since they have live highlights updating while the game is on

Machines at War by Isotope 244 HD WVGA Patch

Wow,
So because I am addicted to my machine and I am hopelessly looking for cool new games and stuff. I went and bought Machines at War, however... it didn't fill up the bottom of the screen, so I wrote Isotope 244 and complained. They directed me to their patch page, so follow their instructions and install the patch and we can now play this game! YAI!
http://www.isotope244.com/help.html#faq147
"...simply download the following file and copy the gui.xml file over the old one in the games directory on your PDA/Phone. To get the game to run in HD mode, in the games directory delete the "settings.xml" file and rename the "settings vga.xml" file to "settings.xml" then load the game."
Click to expand...

Go and play! YAI!
**Update** - [10:20AM - 2010-06-24 - Tokyo Time] - So I downloaded the latest version of the game off of the manufacturer's website and it is version 1.3b. Now with version 1.3b you do not need to install the patch, however I had problems playing it, I would get some kinda draw error or something. However with version 1.2 there were no such problems. So if you have problems with 1.3b, then just use the patch and install version 1.2, then it works fine.
I also noticed on Isotope 244's website (www.isotope244.com) there is a brand new game that they have just released called "Land Air Sea Warfare" it looks really interesting. I don't have anymore money or else I would buy that too, however someone should check it out. I will download the demo, check it out n' maybe report back later.

[GAME] Marbles HD (beta)

Version 1.00 (beta) is on the Market: https://market.android.com/details?id=magory.marbleshd - still a beta because there is no sound and requires some more testing on different devices.
What it is?
Marble Lines HD (I changed the title a litte) is a simple game where you have to move color balls to make a row of 5 or more - I didn't find anything similar on the market and it's a game I enjoy playing, so I'm working for a version for Android.
What is the status
Marbles HD is close to completion - there is no sound yet, and four game types could be a little unbalanced (too easy or too hard).
Features
- four game types (small, crazy, easy and classic)
- highscore (only local right now, I'll maybe add OpenFeint or sth similar later),
- dynamite, question marks (replace any color) and stones (cannot be removed),
The game should work on everything with Android 2.0+.
wrong section...
Why would 'apps and games' be the wrong section?
Anyway, d/l and installed. It gave me an error when I first loaded it, but I just hit wait and it loaded up. Since then it loads without any problems. I have never played a game of this type before, but it is quite fun. I didn't find any problem with the game play. I did notice that at times the balls were a little hard to choose. I like the planned features that you listed. All in all, I like what you have going here. Keep up the good work. I am running a HTC Vision with the latest Cyanogen nightly.

Interesting. It looks like the first start was too slow, I'll look into that.

black screen and then Crash on open SGS I9000 CM7.1..
also cause my phone to vibrate like crazy on black screen.
Wow, someone moved this thread to Android Apps and Games. It should be in Transformer Apps section. It's not ready for phones yet, I didn't even test it on mine phone. Thanks for the info though. I'll look into it, I hope I can repeat it on my phone.
EDIT: After some thinking I maybe posted it completely in the wrong session. I had to be a little absent-minded. Still, no harm done. I tested it on my phone and it works without problems. It will be really hard to find the bug that caused a crash on your system. I'll probably just post beta version to the Market soon - then I will have crash reports.
I posted a new version in the first post. It's much closer to completion and was tested on my phone (previously the problem was probably with too large textures - because of HD graphics for tablets).
Cool
That is nice
Thanks! I posted the first version on the Market - https://market.android.com/details?id=magory.marbleshd - it's still beta because there is no sound and requires some more testing on different devices. (if you installed for apk, it's best if you uninstall it first, then install from the market)

[APP][4.0+] Gamesome Frontend - The first universal emulator frontend for Android

Before giving a low vote on the Play Store, notice that some crashes are not related to my application, but to the emulators. Some emus will have such bugs fixed in the upcoming updates. Feedbacks help me fixing issues, one-starred reviews don't.
The first universal emulator frontend for Android is finally here!
Get it on the Play Store! (It is FREE with all features fully working. The "PRO" version just remove ads)
DISCLAIMER: This app is NOT an emulator and DOES NOT include any game.
Gamesome is the first Android emulator frontend available on the Play Store!
With Gamesome you can manage your rom collection and start all your roms with your favorite emulator from a single app!
It's as easy as setting the folder where your roms are stored, Gamesome will AUTOMAGICALLY identify each rom in your collection and display it in a user-friendly way, with boxarts and useful informations about your games (Release date, publisher, and so on).
Since version 2.0 is out you can:
* Search through your collection of roms, divided by console or genre
* Customize your platforms and emulators, in such a way that you can even add unofficially supported ones(*)
* Select among many scrapers to get metadata for your roms
(Version 2.0 is still in beta testing, you install it by following the directions here)
Important:
* This application is NOT an emulator and DOES NOT include any games
* I do not represent and/or endorse emulator developers. If you think that some emulator can be supported, send an email to our support.
All the logos, products, and company names mentioned are trademarks of their respective owners and subject to their own copyright laws, Foreign or Domestic. Gamesome Frontend Emulator is not endorsing either supporting them in any way.
(*): Not all emulators are compatible with Frontend applications.

nice work!!!
This looks incredible and is exactly what Android has been missing on the emulation side. It has come a long way since you first posted about it on the RetroArch forums a month or two ago! Keep it up! :good::good:
Thanks for the compliments!
Update 1.02 just uploaded on the store:
Code:
* Roms can be stored in subfolders of the root rom directory
* Changed top bar to comply Android standards
* When the app crashes, users are now able to send a bug report by email
* Fixed UI: Some elements were not updated after selection of new platform
* Fixed a rare bug that made the app crash when selecting ROM folder
* Click on a game to show its details, keep a game clicked to execute it
* Fixed missing support for some .EMU emulators
* Added MD.EMU in Sega Master System emulators
* MSX and Colecovision are now two separated platforms
* Redesigned scan process: app is not locked during rom scan
* Roms alphabetically sorted and indexed
* Added region detection (incomplete, not working for Dreamcast, MAME and PSP)
* Platform Coverflow replaced with gridded list. In next updates expect something better :)
* Hide unwanted platforms
* FPSE working (latest update from store)
* Reicast not working anymore after the latest update
* Identification for MAME could not work. The service used for identification is currently unavailable.
I love your app.
I've been searching for this kind of app for a long time. Thank you :good:
Can you tell me what file extensions does recognize for playstation games?
I have cue and bin files and it does not detect them.
They work fine on RetroArch.
Regards.
Maybebi just didn't see it, but if its not there, add a Playstore link. Trying it out now.

I'm still having trouble when detection PSX games. I have all bin files in PSX folder i created specific for this emulation.
Selected that folder for Playstation rom folder.
But it does nothing, i select Playstation in the menu, it takes to the part where it should check for rom files, but it does not it doesn't even tell me so. And after some minutes the app crashed.
I might add, while it is trying to search for games and if i go to another console list, it does not show any of my collection until the app crashes.
After that all of my collection is listed in the diferent console type except in Playstation, where it continues to trying to search and crashes.
I've sent the error through e-mail the other day.

lg l38c not supported?
the lg-l38c or lg optimus dynamic is apparently "not supported" i have this device sitting around all the time and have nothing to do with it. though it is an old phone, it emulates great and has wiimote support. if anyone could upload the apk for me it would be greatly appreciated!
Hi, i installed the Playstore version but i am only getting a blue screen, no emulators.
I have an Odroid U3 with a stock rooted andorid 4.1.2 version.
Any idea?
Hi Vekto88,
I just want to give you my thanks for this great work, I really love what you're doing. I even bought the "PRO" version. But there is a problem I just want to report, when it comes to scan the roms, sometimes it missunderstood the name and guess one similar, another game. Probably, and this is just an idea, could be use an internal database as No-Intro or Goodsets, scanning by the crc32 hash. Anyway, I love seeing all those covers to play the games, something I always wanted to. So again, a thank you very much for this soft.
new ui
Thanks for your work on this project..it is awesome!
I have purchased pro and have it has worked great until the recent release with the updated UI.
I primarily use this program on my set top box and am having trouble navigating without use of an airmouse. (Before everything could be controlled with a gamepad)
Is it possible to downgrade to a previous version?
Hi!
I tried to sideload the apk on the amazon firetv, but it won't show or do anything but a grey background and the settings icon in the top right. i could also navigate to the settings and change them, but there was no option to scan and no games were shown at all. maybe you can fix this.
Also: does your in app-purchase work on the firetv too? or will i be forced to watch ads?
I completely understand that this is not an officially supported device, just wanted to let you know about this issue(s).
Thanks for the app, it works wonderfully on my phone!

Hi superkoal,
To run properly the app needs that Play Services and Play Store are installed on your device, otherwise it won't show the platform list.
To all the previous posters:
For some reason I never got the notification mail from XDA for this topic even if I was subscribed and I've never checked it. I hope that your problems have been solved through the email/forums support!
Great App!
Any way we can customize (change) the console selection icons (circles)?

Not yet, but it has already been pointed out to me that my icons aren't so good and I'll probably add the possibility to set custom icons, because I always schedule to redesign icons, but graphics is not my forte and I always procrastinate.
PSX Game not recognised
I have a collection of PSX games and one of them is not getting picked up by the scanner "Castlevania Symphony of the night". The format is .bin .cue. I have tried changing the file extension to iso and still nothing. How does the scanner work? is it based on a checksum or the file name? Where is the android log-file situated so that I can try and see what the problem might be.
The probem happened both on a android top box and my Galaxy S3 running Cyanogenmod.
Thank you, this is a fantastic App.

Hello,
The game recognition for PSX games is based on the content of the SYSTEM.CNF file inside the disk image, this file contains the game serial (i.e. SLES-11504) that can be used to identify the game.
Some games like Castlevania and Tekken3 are known to not work properly.
Rest assured that I'll investigate the cause of the problem soon.

Whatever happened to XPlay Optimized Galaxy on Fire 2?

While browsing around the net, I've stumbled upon an article, saying that Fishlabs have released their game, Galaxy on Fire 2, optimized for Xperia Play. And how, not only it was XPO, but they've also thrown in Valkyrie expansion pack as a bonus!
This was 2 years ago and it was version 1.0.4.9. I've looked around for this version... but it's gone. Like, everywhere. Google App Store only offers Galaxy on Fire 2 HD, which is ages ahead and targeted at newer devices. I've checked it - it runs on Xplay with custom rom, but the touchscreen controls are catastrophe to play on Xplay. There is no way whatsoever of remapping controls to the gamepad.
As for the XPO version, for some reason, it vanished like a ghost. Literally all the links around the internet are dead. The only thing that's left are standalone APK files here and there, but they're useless, since downloading the game content with this version is not possible anymore - the server will not allow you to connect.
I don't understand - what's the point? It's not even piracy - the game is FREEWARE. Why would anyone go to such effort to delete the only version optimized for this device? Fishlabs got a deal with Sony to help in killing Xperia Play?
Anyways... What do you think? Is there still hope for playing this game on Xplay?
yeah, it's sad the support and old files for our (almost) retired xplay are slowly vanishing from the internet.
I just took a look on my backup and saw i still have the "data" folder, its named "Android\data\net.fishlabs.GalaxyonFire2\files\GOF2\GalaxyonFire2Valkyrie20111114"
something like 240mo is not biggie, if you want i can upload it for you somewhere.

I agree. I fell in love with this phone at first sight, and it really sucks it's losing interest.
I've sent you a private message.
I snagged this way back when it came out for my PLAY. Here is the link, I saved this too my gmail for safe keeping. I also have a backup of the apk and the files needed. As I recently replaced my Nexus 5 with a Nexus 6. I am curious if this link works for you,
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.fishlabs.GalaxyonFire2
I also have the Dungeon Defenders as well:
