Hello there!
I just sold my SGS1 and bought an SGS2. but well, something is giving me... headaches...
Well, first thing I thought: This phone is so new that applications don't support it yet! (*EDIT* The first thing was right. It's all application support issues..)
My guess is... I need to upgrade my ROM. (*EDIT* Wrong. We need to wait, or get a plugin for Chainfire3D.)
*******************************
*EDIT* I wrote a lot of Crap that i've now deleted. The true answer is below *EDIT*
The truth is that most HD games available right now weren't designed for the MALI-400 GPU chipset of Galaxy S 2, but instead for NVIDIA's Tegra devices.
These devices use a hardware-accelerated texture-compression algorithm (S3TC\DXTn, n € 1,2,3,5) that IS NOT SUPPORTED IN MALI-400
So the most simple solution is hoping that SGS2 hits BIG on the sales market, so that Devs start to make HD Games for SGS2. IMHO, it will happen soon.
Another solution is to use Chainfire 3D tool and Plugin API to make a conversion plugin.
The plugins are illegal to distribute, but a simple Googling will give some results
Right now, I was unable to produce my own plugin (too much coding involved) and the plugins we've found online crash on most games.
So current step is: Code better plugins, OR, Wait for a better Chainfire3D version (driver)
Links:
Chainfire 3D tool and API
Chainfire 3D Plugins compiling tips
NVIDIA DOC on how to implement the Texture Compression conversion
Now, to anyone who has built the nvidia plugin:
- first step: Send it to me. LOL
- second step: Test it with Dungeon Defenders or Lets Golf 2 HD. This IS important.
to Chainfire:
First of all THANK YOU SIR.
Second, could you please tell us if you can make Dungeon Defenders work? Its a good test.
*******************************
Thank you all and XDA.
Cheers,
Phk
Updates doesn't help until the games developers realease the working version on SGS II.
The games u see on youtube may be downloaded from games hub...
Somes games on SGS 1 still work on SGS II, u may try the games listed in app and theme section.
Not sure about most of these but I know that Dungeon Defenders doesn't work because it's for Tegra processors only.

@trungdaika:
- SpeedX is from SGS 1. It DOESNT work.
- Reckless Racing is not on Gameshub.....
There must be some system corruption! SpeedX looks EXACTLY like running it on HTC Magic. Believe me, no textures.
Reckless Racing from the Market works fine on my SGS2. Is this RR Lite, or the full version, and did you install it through the Market?

Dungeon Defenders doesn't work, Reckless Racing does! I hope all developers start making some SGS 2 compatible versions of the existing games this is terrible.
You don't need that...
You just need to use Chainfire 3D

Pretty sure the Tegra one isn't out yet
But I'm interested to know if what The Right Honourable Sir pulser_g2 (to use the proper honorific) linked to allows you to play all Tegra 2 games, or just a decent subset?

! You need to share those plugins! The second I get my s2 I'm going to buy the chainfire 3d app. And possibly donate too. I mean just out of principal what that guy is doing is pure diluted awesomeness.
@bcam117 & EleCtrOx666:
just be patient, i think it's only a matter of time till someone will "drop" the plugins somewhere...
SpeedX has just been updated in the market, change log says the update is specially for sgs2

Thats Awesome. You're all awesome, XDA is awesome.
Thanks guys. This forums feed a good part of my nerd yoda dark side.
Now about my lill S2:
- Reckless from Market works OK
- SpeedX from Market works OK
- My phone IS OK, the problem was, afterall, Application Compatibility. Not the ROM.
Now about the REALLY important stuff.
CHAINFIRE 3D
What the hell, i was totally unaware! I'm going to Update Rom, Root, And try it.
But as EleCtrOx666 said, where are the plugins needed?
Are you saying that, for example, Dungeon Defenders is PLAYABLE with Chainfire 3d?!?!
that is just too outstanding to be true. awesome.
anyone know how get ???

download tigermame from the market which plays all cps2 roms!
or get FPSE (ps1) and rip the game to your phone
I'm a bit giddy to see that my video found it's way here that damn fast
Anyway, it's actually pretty simple and easy stuff... TigerArcade from the Android Market.
I searched on the market but can't find any of the apps listed..anyone have a link to it for the market?

wtf? it used to be at this link
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.tiger.game.arcade2
now it's not.
Oh well... minor obstacle... guess you'll just have to get the APK. Latest version is 1.4.4
I'm not sure if I can link to it.
You may want to ask Google "Where Are Tigers".

I know that a lot of the emulators disappeared a bit ago.. however asking people to do a search for "Where are Tigers" would likely give off articles on Southeast Asia or India. ^_^ (real tigers, instead of Tiger emulators)
I used FPSE then purchased rom fetcher: playstation, to download marvel vs capcom
i highly recommend rom fetcher for people who dont no how to get roms the traditional way or cant be bothered

ehhh the PSX version of Marvel vs. Capcom is the worst version...
Is Tiger Arcade being pulled from the market? Daaang....
EDIT* looks like all the Tiger apps are gone....
All Tiger Apps here:
http://apps.tigerplay.net/
They are free, there is no need to hide.
Be warned though, latest version of TigerArcade (which runs Marvel vs. Capcom perfectly) does not have save states, and the old version with save states does not work.

Probably the same reason yongzh's emulators got removed. Complaints by the game companys? They probably will be bringing out there own versions or something similar i guess?
It was dark all around.
There was frost in the ground

Absolutely doubtful. Sega, who allegedly had yongzh's emulators pulled, has not announced any plans to release anything for Android. I'd point at Gameloft who has certain interest in the XPlay but just don't want competition for the new games from the emulated ones.

If Gameloft wants to push out something original to compete with what we'd be emulating, they're more than welcome to.
Based on their other near-IP-theft jobs, I think they'd be the best candidate to try re-creating MvC... or some 2D fighter that brings mobile phone gaming out of the touch-screen-limited ghetto.
Surprisingly everywhere i look i can see people talking about how well their blade runs games like nfs shift or real soccer 2011 backstab 3d or gt racing hd but the weird thing is my market says my device is not compatible with these games ive been looking for games everywhere i even got fpse the ps1 emulator but the graphics arent that good i tried n64oid but it force closes and downloading hd games for android on the net for free is a total waste of time as none of them work! what do i do? how is everyone else running hd games?

Links please? Just download and install right?
i have problem with few games but many work i think installing cm7.1 will solve it
I have CM 7.1 Installed and Have the Same Question?
I tried 4shared.com and found an NFS.apk file. The trouble is there is usually little info on how to use the file or install etc. In tried it anyway and it would not install?
So I have the same question. That is, can anyone please provide a link(s) to so I download an NFS.apk install file for the ZTE Blade?
I figured HD games work on only the 2.2 roms? Correct me if I'm wrong

i dont think so according to games they should work on 2.3.
I tried NFS Shift and it was legendary.No problem, no lag.I downloaded the Sony Ericsson X10 version of this game.
Thanks it Worked!
Thank you very much. I tried out some games and loving it. Been playing Asphalt 5 on my ZTE BLADE. It works wonderfully, so not sure why Android Market says its not compatible with the phone. Time and time again I just love the ZTE BLADE.

I thought that if we copy the files for touchpad from gingerbread and paste them into ics roms, we could get touchpad working as in gingerbread :O
I would try that but, i dont know which are those files

It's a bit more complicated than that. Try asking xdarkmario in the XdarkICS Rom as he got the touchpad working 100%
Something to do with the drivers not being directed at the kernel

does his rom have FULL touchpad support? all games? just like GB? Because his rom is based on sony's beta, I think thats why it has the touchpad support.

Well I tested NOVA 3 and Dead Space since Gameloft and EA games are the chief non-working ones. Both games worked. GTA 3 was a different matter though so it seems only Rockstar games pose an issue in his ROM.
I had issues with games on the Sony Beta ROM, as did Sony. That being the reason for no official ICS release. XDarkmario has fixed this issue that even Sony couldnt work out

@ bamsbax
Just copying the needed files won´t do it since they´re connected to SEMC Framework which is not available on Roms like CM. And porting this would be too much work. Maybe someone can hack those files and make it run on Custom Roms.
That´s the only thing which keeps me from trying different Roms. Maybe devs should work on this matter first before doing a lot of roms (no offense, okay?). Game compatibility is important, especially for this device.

What about Roms ported from other SEMC devices??? Maybe we could try it using roms which are based/ported in neo and arc roms... Their framework is from SEMC so, maybe we could connect those files to it, as you said :
Well, I was excited to see the brand new Ubuntu for phones, where they say they use the same drivers as Android (and I thought, hmm, maybe our X8 can get this OS in it).
Finally, I came across this page and my hopes vanished

I can be done, but our X8 lacks in RAM and CPU which is everything. Maybe Naa can do something but really... i don't think it can run smoothly.
.. Good thing i bought a Nexus 7 DD
I don't think it is possible to run it smoothly on our X8. It's not like JB requirements, so...
