Working HD games? - Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I'm currently on CM7.1 and tried to download and run NFS Shift (Galaxy Tab Version) to my nook but it won't play.
Can anyone suggest which Gameloft/ other Hd games work on the nook and how to go about installing them.
I've also heard about chainfire3D and supercharger script v6. Is any of that required?
Thanks.

try to look first, this thread was right below yours...

[Q] Is there anyway to get both N64 emulation and youtube on my nook color?

Ok first I tried this version of cyanogenmod
http://download.cyanogenmod.com/?type=stable&device=encore
On this one N64 games worked but youtube didn't. So I tried this version here
http://download.cyanogenmod.com/?device=encore
I think it was the 177 version. Anyway youtube worked but N64 games didn't. Is there anyway to get both working?
With the newest kernel implemented in the latest nightlies and RC N64 is incompatible and won't run, unless you use versions lower than 2.0 of N64oid (the only game that runs well in those versions is Mario 64). There's people that have tried to comunicate with the developer of the emulator to see if he can work something out, but he doesn't own a NC so it's hard to troubleshoot. We all want N64 and we will need to wait it seems

You mean what I am doing right now?
Go download this version of CM7, "CyanogenMod-7.0.0-RC4-encore"
I am able to use Youtube and N64oid 2.3 using this setup.
The problem with N64oid with the newer CM7 releases has to do with an incompatibility with the newest Kernel.

That's the one I tried first. I mentioned it in my opening post. N64 worked on it but youtube didn't.

You need to use an older Youtube version or just disable HD in the top right.

Just played it on NexusHD2 and it ran just as well as it did on GB (TyphooN). Graphics were exactly the same as they were and it was a little bit smoother than GB as well. However, this was a restored app from GB so if you downloaded it fresh then that may cause some differences. I also don't know whether this is the latest version or not (let's just say that I didn't get it off of the Play Store directly ).

Now tried on Team Blue Droid V3.7 Sensation XL Gen3
the same thing
By the way, can you advice me which ROM is the best for gaming ? (i know it will never be a sense rom )
thanX
Edit:
even onTyphoN's CM7 ROM it won't work
i'll try an other apk then i'll see what it gives
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=933951
I think its more about the version of the game that works well with hd2 than about the rom. Do you download the cache for the game as well? it should also match your device
The white graphics issue would be caused by the app using diiferent opengl files (plugins/shaders). Try using Chainfire3D (searching xda for plugins) and change to a different one when you want to use the app.
And fyi, I pulled the NFS shift app from my tablet, and had the white graphics, used Chainfire to use the tegra plugin and it's working fine.

[Q] Need help getting Google Play Store

I am using a Honeycomb Image from here for my Nook Color and can't find a way to get the Play Store as it didn't come with it and there is no file manager to install from the sdcard. Has anyone else used this or know of a better one for the Nook Color that will allow me access to the Play Store as I am wanting to install Unity Remote so I can use the device with Unity 3D. Any help will be greatly appreciated.
If you email it you should be able to run it from the email attachment / download menu. But I would say try some of the jellybean builds. They're much more complete and they run much smoother, the HC builds were built from the sdk and never got to a point of great stability.

Play Store gets installed as part of a gapps package, not as a stand alone app. Try one of the gapps-hdpi or gb or ics versions at goo.im. Flash that with your CWM.

Thanks for helping. I was trying the Honeycomb build since I was able to run it from the sd card but I also tried the one from CyanogenMod which has 2.3.5 that is listed as the last stable version for Nook Color and that anything later isn't stable from their mods. Is there a jellybean build you recommend that is stable? And how do I install the gapps as I couldn't find any documentation on the goo site. Also I was unable to add my e-mail with CyanogenMod 7.2 as it wasn't able to communicate with the server and I was connected to Wifi.

You really should get rid of that honeycomb. It is way put of date and was never very good. Go to my NC updated SD installation thread linked in my signature. Everything you need is there. I recommend the latest CM10 nightly linked there. It is a nightly, but very stable (certainly more stable than that honeycomb). And the link for the gapps that matches is linked on my thread too.

[Q] Need help installing play store and other things on rooted NC 1.4.3

Hi,
I am sure this question has been asked before, but I can't seem to get clear instructions on how to do it.
I rooted my NC last night. It is version 1.4.3 and I used the below method:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1494901
I installed this manual nooter: manualnooter-5.08.20.apps2sd.block_updates.zip
and also this kernel: Dalingrin OC kernel
So right now it is rooted - I just can't seem to get the play store market. The market that I see is very limited. Can someone please provide me detailed instructions on how to put on the play store?
Also - are there any other launchers that I can use/are recommended? Currently using the Zeam Launcher.
I want to be able to install games and play videos for my son - and I also want to be able to use things like Hulu and Netflix. Are there any other add ons that anyone recommends?
I am very good at following the instructions, just need them described in a way that I can understand as I am not that techy!
Thank you in advance!!
Market should update itself to Play Store as you use it. But that will not necessarily help with getting rid of the limitations. You may have to get your apps from other stores like Amazon.com or 1mobile.com.
I like ADW for my launcher.

What do you mean it will update itself? For example I searched for Candy Crush (yes, i know HAHA), and it doesn't find it? :/

read my edit above. Play Store is just a newer version of market.
Edit: Market/Play Store is sometimes very picky about what it will show as compatible with your device. Your options are to use other stores or install the app you have downloaded from another device.

Ok - thanks.
I also read somewhere that I should install gapps?
For the ADW launcher - can I find that on the market?

Gapps are included in manual nooter, you do not want to install again.
Yes, you should find ADW in the market.

Awesome - I will tinker more with it tonight TY for your help!
Another question, since you have been so helpful :
With the way that I rooted the nook, what version do I have? (Gingerbread, ICS, Honeycomb)
I assume knowing which version I have will help in terms of what apps will work on it and be compatible.
Thank you

Hi Leapinlar,
So I successfully got the play store working and some other things. Running Go Launcher as the launcher.
I was wondering, how do I go about making it a little faster? I notice that it lags quite a bit. I downloaded Nook tweaks, but have no idea on what to change on there. I have also been reading posts about Cyanogenmod 7 or Cyanogenmod 10 but don't know if that will make a difference. I do have most of the apps saved on the SD card as to not take space and memory. I also have clean sweeper installed to kill tasks.
Any advice? Thanks.

If you want the most stability and speed, install CM7.2 stable.
Follow this guide to replace your stock.

Or follow this guide if you want to install to SD and leave stock intact.
