Whats up with that demo racing game? It runs as if the HD2 has a 350mh proccessor!
Just bought Asphalt 4 which is a little better but runs as if the HD has a 400MH proccessor. Looks and runs choppy, what's the problem????
Is the HD2 not for 3D RACING games???
Mine worked just fine (no problem quickly running into walls and cars) for all of the 200+ seconds I was allowed to play it.
ive got asphalt 4 its pretty good runs fine, i got that and about 15 other games work great, there is a thread on the leo wiki about games check it out, no link sorry on my phone
I've had issues with that game and with the sounds not syncing up in the Millionaire demo too. I have the dutty's thing running (thank god because I loved this on my 8525) so no other tasks are running in the bg and I still get skips in the racing game.
I also installed the 3D patch, but I haven't tried the game on the "Anti-Stutter" mode yet.

Hey guys, where can I get some nice games for the new toy? On Android Market there aint' that much, and on the Samsung Store the only one available is Asphalt 5.
Where do you people go to look for games? I've seen a lot of videos with people testing N.o.v.a. on the Galaxy S but where did they get it?
http://www.gameloft.com, I downloaded the motorola Droid versions since there are no Galaxy versions. Workin just fine. Downloaded NOVA and Modern Combat: Sandstorm there.

Thanks! I'll check it oout right away.
if you have other suggestions, please share them!
How do u find gaming in GalaxyS? Is the sensor accurate?
I'm concerned since I really like playing in the Iphone and I hope its as much fun
You can always use an emulator like gameboid and others to emulate everything from nes to gba games, I find that a gba game offers a lot more depth than the average ios/android game, also brings back the feeling from the old days .
The gaming experience is really smooth on the Samsung. This is where the superamoled really is good. I think there are som vids on youtube where a galaxy runs nova and modern combat. Might want to check those out

can you please confirm if gameboid works and the SNES emulator? i heard it doesnt pick up the roms properly.......
ZUMA would look nice on this phone
GameBoid not working for me, at leat it didn't the one time it installed before I had to factory reset the phone again (stupid download unsuccessful error - can't install apps!).

It appears it doesnt work properly, atleast gameboid doesnt, hangs after I select the rom (it shows the image where I last saved and hangs there with distorted sounds, however the application still works, I can still press menu and go to settings etc). It did work fine on my htc desire before, so I'm gonna try some things to make it work.
The snes emulator works great, played mario kart the other day.
the gba one doesn't however
Anyone else find asphalt 5 doesnt have a particularly good fps? raging thunder 2 and all the other games seem to be 60fps. Looking forward to games to start using ogl 2.0
Asphalt 5 is not really optimized, it performs horribly on pretty much every device out there.
The motorola droid runs is pretty well, but ONLY the droid.
As for the rest of the games- Everything that works on the droid/milestone will work on the Galaxy S
All current mobile processors are based on Cortex A8 with ARMv7 instruction sets, and both devices contain SGX series 5 graphics. The difference between 530 and 540 doesn't really matter, pretty much the same driver.
My guess is that after 1 or two firmware updates for the device things will be running a hell of a lot smoother.
Give it some time, the nexus and droid also had some childhood sickness untill stuff started running perfectly.
asphalt runs sweet as a nut on my galaxy s. so does raging thunder
Toonwarz looks like its running pretty well...
i like bridge, solitair and quake, also search for chromatatron.. laser puzzle logic games i like a lot.
Did someone have the chance to check out H.A.W.X?
And generally, the galaxy S should be pretty much a gaming beast, with the large 4" screen which is probably the best in the market right now, and SGX540, which is the strongest GPU around, untill the snapdragon 8672 sees light (and might still be the strongest even after that)
Tested and verified games and fullscreen..
Asphalt 5
Tower Bloxx
Tangram Pro (love this game..)
Flight Frenzy
The Game of Life
Surviving High School
New York Nights 2 (nice but not full screen though.. for 3.5 - 3.7 screen)
Bonsai Blast
Katamari Mobile (love this game..)
Mechanics Touch
Sally's Spa
The Gube - 3D Rubik's Cube
..still testing others.. it is very tiring to install and uninstall the games even when using ASTRO. hehehe
I have a ton of games installed on my Galaxy S.

Hawx working, however not reacting to accelerometer. Possible to play with onscreen joystick.
Reckless Racing - Android app on AppBrain
http://www.appbrain.com/app/reckless-racing/com.polarbit.RecklessRacing
The game downloads from market is about 3mb. When you launch the game it downloads the main file to the SD card (even on Android 2.1). The server was over run yesterday but seems to be working today but still a bit slow.
The game itself is great fun ! I'll try out online game later...
The game works on the HTC Legend but the frame rate drops in race. If you can pull out a lead and drop the other cars of screen its just about playable. However it is borderline on the HTC Legend, so be warned.
Thanks!
Thought of buying it for my Legend.
But now i won´t.
thanks.
Hi all,
I did a search and noticed there wasn't a thread dedicated to Psx4droid users on the HD2 running android. So i decided to start one, to list the games I have tried so far.
(btw, I have a nexus one also and these games didnt want to run on my nexus one and they ran fine on my HD2. =] )
Im running FroyoStone Sense 3.2.7
ChuckyDroidRom
Psx4droid 1.7
16gb class 2 memory card.
Brave Fencer Musashi- Ran pretty decent (.bin)
Mega Man Legends - Ran pretty decent (.bin)
Rival Schools - Lags (.bin)
Remember sharing is caring =D.
seriously no1 else is running psx4droid on their hd2?
I have a few games that I have been playing. I think the biggest problem with this is people really don't want to affiliate themselves with potentially illegal activities.
Anyway here is my list:
Final Fantasy VII: Runs ok, better with audio disabled
Final Fantasy Tactics: Runs great
Gran Turismo 2: So laggy pretty much unplayable
Einhander: Plays fine
Xenogears: Plays fine
Chrono Cross: Plays fine
I just boot back to WM and use fpsece. Much better speed and compatibility
xenogears? really ? how far have you gotten in that game so far?? no problems??
the fpsce emulator looks sweet and all. but what about on screen control? I have only read great reviews with the msi bluetooth gaming controller.
Fpsece has better on-screen controls than psx4droid.... much more customizable. Or you can just use a ps3 controller.

Hey guys, good news, the newest vr, 1.7 released a few days ago, has fixed ffvii sound issues, it sounds perfect!
Was like playing a different game with out the right battle ending music.
Currently using BluTopia v.6
PSX 1.7
Playing Breathe of Fire IV with audio studder sometimes. Havent been able to figure why yet. I 've downloaded xenogears, but that lags like hell. Still trying to get accustomed to the on screen controls.
Its absolute crap, all the games that work perfectly on Fpsece, dont work on psx4droid. It is a big joke, total waste of time im affraid.
It makes sense that fpsece would have better compatibility.... its been developed for what? 8 years now I believe. Psx4droid only for maybe 8 months.

I don't think it's the illegal they are worried about, it's the fact that it's a touch screen phone without hardware game button which kills the fun...for me anyway...
its true that fspce has been around for along time. I remember loading ff7 on my dell axim pda. 500mhz at the time. Psx4droid is actually running almost all the games im throwing at it. except GT2, it gets stuck at the disclaimer screen.
I've been experiencing some very nasty fps frops on alundra and other games no matter what build I used (nand,sd). Is it like this for everyone? Also a lot of touchscreen problems like buttons randomly pressed etc
I've got V3 for PSX4Droid and I'm having a few issues with Metal Gear Solid, she's a bit slow, slow framerate and stuttering sound, anyone else have experience with this?
I'm having problems running asphalt 5hd and dungeon hunter hd. Asphalt never loads. Dungeon hunter closes back to the desktop after I put in my name.
These are paid for games so I know the files are fine. I've tried reinstalling them. Returning everything to stock didn't fix it.
I'm out of ideas on how to get these games to work.
This phone has had lots of issues running Gameloft games in general. Ironic that it's preloaded with Asphalt 5 I guess. I'm not too sure why this is, but for now, I'd recommend against buying anything from Gameloft while using this phone.
I don't know if id agree with that, though. My friends and I own Epics and we all got Dungeon Hunter HD for free on th advent event and it runs like a dream on 2.1. I haven't played much of it since switching to dk28, but it should run just fine on stock.

Based on my experience I would offer exactly the opposite advice.
Every Gameloft game I've bought has installed and run without any problems at all, and the 3D experience is awesome.
Asphalt 5
NOVA
Hawx
Sandstorm
Avatar
Assassin's Creed
GangStar
Not sure if all of those are Gameloft... All of them work without any problems on my rooted, Syndicate, Xtreme kernel 1.2, Emotionless Beast Epic.
I haven't played anything but dungeon hunter but it runs like a dream on 2.1 or 2.2 for me.
I didn't buy the asphalt for 7 bucks. Instead I brought the one from their site and got lets golf 2 for free during the buy one get one sell. Dungeon Hunter was free during the giveaway a few days ago.
Not really understanding why mines aren't working and others are. Lets golf 2 works and so does the asphalt demo.
All my gameloft games work fine im stock 2.1 but they have also worked on all custom 2.1 roms.
including:
Asphault
Avatar
Gamgstar
Modern Combat
Nova
UNO
Maybe we have different size downloads?
Dunegon Hunter 4.29M
Asphalt5 3.27M
This doesn't count the extra downloading you have to do when loading the game.
Edit: Found the game installs the extra files. Deleted those and then reinstalled the games. Both worked after that. Don't know why I didn't think of trying that before.
Thinking of buying Nova and something else. It's a toss between Avatar, Gamgstar, Modern Combat, and that Spartan one.
I was just wondering if anyone has played this on the NC
I originally started playing on my Samsung fascinate and it was super smooth
It runs and everything on the NC, but it seems a little choppy at times and just not that smooth overall.
So is this a hardware limitation? Or is something about my configuration off?
I'm running the latest CM video test build currently, but I was on build 31 and 32 as well with the same issue.
On the OC kernel, at 1100, interactive
Any feedback would be appreciated, thanks.
I played on Nookie froyo 0.6.8, get not smooth in menus, store..... but smooth enough in playing.
I know what you are talking about and its a hardware limit.
Ok, I figured. yea it's really not that bad when during the game, but it's definitely not as smooth as it was on the phone.
Thanks for the feedback
i have the same problem. but it's playable...
The nook was not produced as a 3D Game plateforme, the GPU is like 5 year old comparing to Samsung Galaxy S.
But if i compare some 3D games (or n64oid), they run smoother than on my HTC Desire wich has a really poor GPU..
Gun bros is laggy period(why would a simple menu be laggy?), ghurilla bob is a way better game and runs extreemly smooth even when theres a ton of people on screen thats supporting HD , this comes to show u the nook.can handle good graphics,
One thing to keep in mind when comparing to a phone - Our nook is running the game at 1024x600, compared to most phones running at 800x480. The difference may not seem like much, but it might suprise ya; Our screen is 614400 pixels, compared to 384000. This 1.6x pixel increase is a big load on our GPU's (the same as in the Droid X and Droid 2)...
For me gun bros never ran faster than 20 fps in game and like 7 fps in the menus.
I made it through about 10 waves then gave up. The combination of all on screen controls plus lag was to much to take.
Side note: what version of gun bros are you guys running and where did you get it? Since it is 'not compatible with our device'(due to in-app billing i would guess) it is not in the market. The one I am running claims to be ver. 1.5 and I was very surprised that Gun Bros had xga files ready to go, since the xoom would be the only released device that could use it, unless they have the android version downloading files from the same place as the ios version.

Don't know about anyone else, but I got mine via the Amazon App Store.
runs good for me
i'm running cm7 with latest tab tweaks at 1100 oc'd and gun bros runs like a champ for me. yeah the menus are a little laggy, but they did that on my droid x too. the game itself runs full-bore with no lag at all.
btw, that game is SO much more fun on the bigger screen, and i thought it was the best before!
my version allows in-app purchases and that part seems to work just fine. it installed and downloaded without a hitch from the market. i reinstalled using the latest version about three days ago and used mybackup pro to restore game data that i copied over from my x when i swapped to a t-bolt.
one note, you have to be rooted to restore your game data because the game stores the info in /system.

What's the full path?
And how did you find that out?
I wonder, do all games do this?
bad news: still jittery choppy

I was playing Gun Bros (1) multiplayer edition, latest version as of this wriiting. I have a quad core 1.5ghz cpu and and a likely single core GPU PowerVR. Some zombie shooter games ann Guerilla Bob work fine. After wave 8 or so in gunbros, it stutters every 6 to 10 seconds and one or more touch controls stop working so I have take my fingers off the screen and try again. My bro dies quickly! :crying: I will try Gun bros 2 and see what happens. Cheers mate.
