PSXperia conversion: Games not showing up - Xperia Play General

So, i tried to get this work during sunday and monday with no succes.
I have ripped some of my own games (Tombi 2 and crash bandicoot 3 PAL releases) via program Imgburn which i found from neoseeker forums after some googling.
I couldnt do ISO files so Imgburn did BIN files for me, i read that BIN files should work with PSXperiA, yesterday the author of the tutorial video, and possibly a member of XDA, confirmed that BINs should work by replying my utube comment. After this i updated my play to 2.3.4 and PSXperia to beta 2
I retrieved proper files (com.playsration something from phone memory and ZPAK from the memorycard i had crash 1)
After this i copy both files into "important 1" and "important 2" folders under (harddrive 2)/D:/PSX/
Extract folders is being created in same folder named as "data" after this i go to convert and fill the fields, mark the "analog box" and set paths (extracted content, game BIN and output)
When PSXperia is ready i take the game file and put it into my phone SD card to right directory (i dont excatly remember the path, its either way same path as described in the tutorial video i watched)
I unplug my play and check all the menus and places only to discover that games arent showing up anywhere
I think the problem could be either A ) minor detail i didnt notice or B ) something went wrong while ripping the game.
I believe both have some share in my problem, i tried original BIN files on PSX4droid (i had SPC10001 or something ~~ bios) but with all sort of tricking i didnt get any reaction (tried crash 3)
Soooo, what went wrong ? Can you help me ?
I did everything in that specific order so if something is missing, please do tell me
PS: i didnt mark box "yes this is a question" on these forums since this is call for help and not one question, i think i shouldng mark it ?

You should have watched all of the tutorial, You missed the part where you actually install the game. Watch my video again and see the part where I use a file manager to install the apk.

Aaaahh holy.....
I did see that part but because i was watching the video with my play i couldnt see file names and i think i just didnt hear that part correctly.
Though my excuse for sucha noob mistake must be that my PC read APK file as "Gamespy Arcade Custom Service" so all i could think was "WTH does this file do here ?"
Well, now i have instaled "Tombi 2" but its shutting down by itself (black screen and extremely quiet sound "sssshhhhhhh" from the speakers which stops after screen goes away)
But i think this problem is more common and can be found from "PSXperia beta 2.0" thread so i think i take a look at it
I will bump this thread if i need more help.
BTW, i cant get even PSX4droid to work, black screen and freeze, there seems to,be no topics solving or even containing the problem in the interwebz (tried PAL BIOS too but without luck)
It seems emulation god's are not on my side today

The problem might be that im using EU APK and ZPAK of crash bandicoot with Tombi 2
(i checked from github compatibility list and there was no sing about PAL release working, only Usa)
Tombi 2 is EU/PAL release while you are using USA version with possibly USA APK and ZPAK.
I try USA release of Tomba 2 with my current APK and Zpak, i will report in shortly
EDIT: didnt work, same deal as with PAL, i think next step is to get Usa Crash bandicoot APK and ZPAK and try with those, i think APK was in that PSXperi thread somewhere.

Small update.
Tombi 2 PAL works perfectly with US apk and ZPAK, minor graphical glitches and bugs (some edges of models look blue and few chains in second world are "hot" while they shouldnt be, this doesnt alter gameplay though.)
I have shared thanks for you two
Tombi 2 is by far, my favourite PSX tittle with countless hours of gameplay, im looking foward in trying Tombi 1 that i never had a chance to play and to play extra missions that are being unlocked in Tomba 2.
I wanted to try Zero Divided 2 but i had an error while ripping, today i will proceed trying out Croc 2, Crash Bash... Infact, all of my PSX PAL tittles.
crash 3 didnt work, ill try US release.
One last question, could converted game and the APK for for other xperia 2011 range devices, Arc is PS certified so i dont see why not on it, but im more thinkig about NEO.
My sister would like to play some PS classics too and the only PSX4droid version i could get working, performed horribly.
I know its kinda illegal, spreading software that is not desinged for centrain phone on purpose that is.

[Q] Psx4droid problem! (loading ROMs)

I'm having a problem with psx4droid.
I'm unsure if this is the improper place for this thread, so please inform me if it is so and I will take necessary actions (if any are necessary).
What i'm using:
Model: Android Transform (SPH-M920)
Firmware version: 2.1-update1
If there are any other specs that are required for diagnosis and the solution to my problem, then please inquire!*
My problem:
I have downloaded and installed psx4droid v1.1 and BIOS file schp1001.bin, uploaded Final Fantasy VII .bin ROM and am having an issue loading the game.
As soon as I tap on the Final Fantasy VII Disc 1.bin, I am brought to a black screen where it then takes me back to the "select ROM" screen and doesn't load the game.
What i've tried:
I've tried re-installing psx4droid using online tutorials, downloading and installing new bios files, re-uploading newly created FFVII .bin files, uploading and trying FFVII.pbp (eBOOT) and .img files, changing and messing around with the psx4droid settings, changing and messing around with my phones settings, closing out applications that may be interfering with psx4droid/FFVII, and everything else that I can think of.
Now I am at a loss, I don't know what to do. This should be working, according to the description of psx4droid in the market place.
I hope someone can help me find a solution to this problem soon.
Thanks all!
Well this really isn't a answer to your problem persay. But I too am having the same issue. My FFVII worked fine with the earlier psx4droid releases. However, when the latest release of 1.1 came out a day or so ago my FFVII quit working the same as yours. I would say it might be the release over anything else you tried. I went back to the last release that worked fine of psx4droid 1.0.9, which everything now runs fine on. I also noticed the latest release of psx4droid drops ALOT of framerates from the games I did get to work with it. In my opinion 1.1 is a bad release and creates more problems then I believe it fixed. I'd google 1.0.9 and upload the .apk onto your system and hopefully that version will work just fine for you.
Can't find a version of 1.0.9 anywhere. Think I could help finding this?
Hope the admins/mods won't mind us posting a link to help more people in the future
Ok, I found a download link for this version at a place called mediafire.
This will be your code at the end of the link placed in your browser: ?sh9f0ww7dzbuzgo
Alright, I've "updated" to v1.0.9 and it appears that things are doing better; but my only problem now is that when I launch the game (FFVII.bin) it just goes to a blank, black screen. I'm almost there, I can feel it!
Any ideas on what to do with the black screen?
I usually d/l my psx roms from doperoms.com. they always seem to be of good quality. Maybe try that next. Also, what device are you running psx on?
These version numbers seem to suggest you're pirating old versions and not obtaining the latest from the market....

Hardly, I paid for my copy. However the latest release of psx4droid in my opinion is garbage so thanks to titanium backup I restored my previous version.

The way I see it is he's basically downloading a backup .exe file to an earlier version, because the dev guys didn't care enough to leave any download links to those. Which, is legal, might I add
I paid for a program that doesn't work with the newest version, so i'm going to downgrade to the version that works!
Have you tried compressing your games w/ IceTea v1.3?
This has helped me run games that wouldn't run in a .bin format.
It's annoying that extra steps are needed but it also reduces the file size by a lot!!
This 'cyanogenmod 7 RC' ROM is Great! all things Considering.(don't really care bout 4G, and full HDMI Support coming soon) i haven't ran into any major mechanical issue/s (Thus-far) but i did ran into some minor Malfunctions but were easily corrected i.e. voice recognition, WiFi connections,inaccurate GPS location,etc..
But there is one issue that I've notice that i find kinda strange...
after i have updated from 'CM6.1.2-STABLE' ROM to 'CM7-RC' ROM, thanks to ROM Manager's 'OTA' Update
it have seem to have lost the ability to play Emulators of ALL kinds(gba-Snes-psx4droid,etc)
My known problem i am experiencing is "As soon as I tap on the Game, with a .bin ext(or of any ext), I am brought to a black screen-- then takes me back to the "select ROM" screen again and doesn't load the game.
i have done many things to had try repair this issue, like:
-Re-installing ROM w/ wipe cache,
-Installed other versions of the Emu's.
i have searched (google'd) for others like me that are experiencing this on 'cyanogenmod 7 RC' ROM. but sadly, non where found...
Problem with PSX4DROID?
Solution: Get Fpse for Android and forget about that P.O.S.
I can say Fpse works amazingly well, it's a emulator that's actually worth the money
I started playing GT2 and FFVIII again when I'm on the go and both work just like on the PS1, loading times are faster then on the actual PS1
I was wondering, before I buy this great app, will it work for the new phones running gingerbread?
Reason I ask is because I just updated my phone to android 2.3.2(Gingerbread) and now ALL my emulators (including PSX4DROID) are non-fuctional. And also, those it support wii controllers or any other type input controllers?

Here's Android Market link: https://market.android.com/details?id=com.emulator.fpse
It shows that it supports 2.2 and up so it could work, that's interesting how all your emulators stopped working.

PSX Emulation on this thing.

So I got an Iconia today and I;m trying to put it through its paces. SNES emulation works fine but I'm having a war of a time getting PS1 emulation to work. I've got both PSX4Droid and FPse on this thing. I've got the playstaion bios and a .bin image of Tekken 3 that I ripped.
psx4droid won't run the game at all. The controls show up but then it immediately shows "unexpected error..." message.
FPse will actually run the game but the onscreen controlls wont respond. If I "Eject" the game it'll go to the Title screen and I can control up and down but nothing else.
I've seen posts stating that people have gotten PSX emulation to work on this, but none that detail just how. Any help in this recard would be greatly appreciated as I've only got 2 weeks to decide if I'm keeping this thing.
Edit(I have FPse working somewhat?: Ok I did some more poking around and I think I have something here. Looks like it was a matter of the start button not showing up on screen. Turning it to portrait got all the controls on screen and it actually was responding to the button presses. In order to get it to run smoothly I had to crank up frame skip but it'd showing 60fps. Does that even make sense?
I had all these same problems so i fell back on my old computer repair days experience. Some times newer is not always better ... I couldnt get any of the newer versions of psx4droid to run or even load games right. so afetr some digging i found the maker of psx4droid for a short while made one he called psx4droidv2 but for what ever reason he does not have it on his site. so I just googled it what your looking for is psx4droidv2 1.1.2 you just instal it like normal and put the bios files and game files all in same folder and I am up and running like a champ on my iconia everything loads and works. it even lets me do away with on screen controls and use my ps3 controller to play the games, you just have to map the buttons but is easy.
Hope this helps if so give me thanks.

Well it runs with is more than I can say for the first version of psx4droid that I'd downloaded. Unfortunately It doesn't seem to run at a solid frame rate. Also the screen scales too skinny.
That kind of settings do you have yours set to?
On another note, I've gotten FPse running at a consistent frame rate but there seems to be some games that simply won't play with it (Megaman Legends 2).

How to access G-Gee, Square Enix, etc - Easy 3 Step Method

K, so I reflashed my phone and proceeded to repeat what I did to gain access to the G-Gee Market and Square Enix. It is not really easy to do.
Download this zip with all 3 G-Gee Markets, install each one but the one you want to really use is the GameBox installer.
After they are all installed download the modded build.prop I used (its from my Xperia PLAY, if on another phone just copy the SO-01C to all references of Build, Model, etc)
Modded Build.prop
Save as a text document, backup your old build.prop (system/build.prop) Then copy the modded build.prop to the same place as your original.
http://db.tt/1RQUKz4C
Next you need to download/install Market Enabler and set it to Japan - Docomo, reboot your phone.
Market Enabler:
http://db.tt/OWdfOWX6
After the above steps are done and you have rebooted. Open Market Enabler and set it again to DOCOCMO, then copy this link to your gmail and send it to your self.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ggee.gameboxam
Open the email and select the link and select Play Market to open, it should then be able to let you download the G-Gee ticket for the game from the Android Market, it should hten automatically open the GameBox installed and let you download nd install the King of Fighters.
I have done this same process 3 times now and each time it worked.
Found this and wanted to share with y'all

If you loon at the bottom it shows the Devil May Cry and says "coming soon". I will be keeping an eye out for this game...guarantee.

Hmm... I'm noticing a trend here.
Seems G-Gee's bringing out all those games shown off during Sony's Japanese Xperia PLAY launch specials.
EDIT: Looks like that's not all they're doing... snooping a little further in, I saw that they're promoting Disgaea Infinite on the Play Store, and even a special Android King of Fighters game!
Hear that? That's the sound of me getting hard.

For those interested there are two types of the G-Gee Markets and here they are:

Between using the market enabler, modding my build.prop to reflecct a r800i instead of r800x and the occasional Japanese VPN account I use (which is free by the way) I have been able to gain access to some of these games from the G-Gee market.

Right now as I type this I am downloading the game Disgaea Infinite. It is really slow download but still .... hope to have the app installed, apk saved and uploaded shortly.
I can download and buy any of the market g-gee apps using market enabler and docomo as the carrier, but the games themselves are performing a device check in case anyone trys to buy these.

So far I havent seen the device check but that doesnt mean anything, just havent seen it, also I did find this, Legion any chance you may be able to snag it? I am not having any luck getting it. Its Disengaea Infinite in English.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...me.OZStore_AM_Ticket745&feature=search_result
I lied, here you go... I can install the apk but it wont let me install the additional files which it said was I think 75mb.
Here is the file in case anyone wants to have a go at this.
http://db.tt/edxr37pt
easily done, http://www.mediafire.com/?vs2e1vb05g2l97w
I would highly recommend you check this out, this lets you download any android market app directly on your computer as long as its a free app.
http://codekiem.com/2012/02/24/apk-downloader/
OK, I got the Disgaea from the Gamebox G-Gee Market, the one I got from Legion was just basically a link to the game on th GGEE market. I got the game to download and install however the only problem is that I am unable to save the game as an apk. However the 149mb additional files that downloaded, actually I think its the whole game hence the reason no apk, and I backed it up. The files were saved to a new folder on my sdcard by G-Gee called Runtime Apps, Looks like all the files are there and unfortunately it is in Japanese. I am uploading the files to my dropbox account and will be posting a download link shortly.
And here it is...... someone mind taking a look at it? It is compressed as its 129mb zipped, 145 uncompressed
http://db.tt/rqPhsSEg
OK, so you ned to have the G-Gee Market installed, and the above zipped file on your sdcard. You load up the G-Gee market and it should show you the Disgaea game under "my apps". From there you run it. That is why the game has not apk, it is all run from within the GGee market.
Just in case here is 3 different versions of the G-Gee Market, one is web based and doesnt have much. the other tow are are G-Gee & Gamebox Installed. I would recommend installing both of those 2.
Here is the link, all 3 are in a single compressed file
http://db.tt/Vrd17wNy
going to try switching my build.prop to korean and see if I can get TLtheory , and everyone else, King of Fighters by SNK. Cross your fingers.
Ummm TLtheory... in the words of Pam on the FX series Archer... Holy ****snacks.... I got the King of Fighters and believe it or not, the xperia play controls works. Again though it requires you to have the G-Gee GameBox installed as it runs the game through that. I have the download link for the Kof F below and I sure hope it works via just having the games files saved to the Runtime App on the root of the SDcard with GameBox installed. So the android market link takes you to the G-Gee Gamebox which then after installing that tkae you to the K of F on the Gamebox app to download/install. The files are a good size.
Please let me know if it works... sure hope it does....
Also, since it was so large I had to break it into 3 seperate zip files. I know its a pain but it was the only way to do it and still be able to upload
Part 1 of 3:

Part 2 of 3

Part 3 of 3
http://db.tt/g6XDhqnw
Just a heads up on the 3 download links above, 2 of the 3 came back as having errors but I was able to download them from the links and they seemed fine. If anyone has issues with the links let me know.
......well you've been busy!
would you be able to get Sonic The HedgeHog and Super Monkey Ball 1 as well?
---------- Post added at 07:42 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:16 AM ----------
unfortunately, I don't think it works just by copying it to the sd card, I tried a bunch of stuff like for example downloading an app that shows available to me and swapping the sd card data and so forth, no dice. Try making a titanium backup with these games already installed and upload that, that ought to work.

This is the part that sucks, I tried the TB first when I saw the apk saver app wasnt seeing the games. TB does not see the FoF or Disgaea either, as both games do not have an apk and are dependant on the GameBox. OTher then making a zip of the folders for the games and recommending installing the Gameox, thats all I could think of..
So you tried the uncompress and saved the folders to a folder on your sdcard called Runtime Apps, and had the Gamebox apk installed and you were not able to play/see the games? Hmm.....Gamebox is making this a total PITA, and probably for this very reason, to only make it available to countries that can access it.
Here is what I did to gain access to the games. I changed my buildprop to the SO-01D and went to these links: (with market enabler on Japan Dococmo)
K of F
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ggee.gameboxam
easiest way to open this was to email the above link to your gmail and open it on your phone, it then says its availanble. I selected install and installed it. OPening it then tales you to the GameBox or G-Gee market and then it allows you to Download and Installed the files. This worked for me, the files are around 45-500mb download. This same process worked for me on Disgaea,
Disgaea:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...kZWEucnVudGltZS5PWlN0b3JlX0FNX1RpY2tldDc0NSJd
This is all I can think of, as obviously saving the files and trying to transplant them onto another phone does NOT work.... try the above steps and see what you get...as said it worked for me. Attemting to look up the games on the android market after the enabler and build changes will NOT show the games on your phone, you HAVE TO open the above links from within you Gmail, hence emailing the links to yourself. Only then did it work for me.
Let me know how it goes
Could anyone upload APK file of King Of Fighters (this fighters game, not shotem-up) ? Only if is it a free game. I don't have root, so i have a hope that this game will be work like Locoroco... I love KOF serie ...
Oy... you guys are really kicking ass here!
...this is hurting my head though. I
• Modified build.prop
• Changed "ro.product.model" to "SO-01D"
• Got Market Enabler
• Faked Japan DoCoMo
...all seemed gravy til I hit some error screen. I couldn't even install KoF from the above link. I was able to grab the "com.ggee.gameboxam-3.apk" APK with the tool mentioned earlier, but that never got me to KoF.
I'm confused, and I just know I did something wrong... either way, I'm changing my build prop back for now.
There is no apk for the game. You have to run the game through the game box or g-gee. When you download the game it opens throught the ggee and then downloads the files. It saves all the files in a folder called Runtine Apps. I have no idea how to convert these files to apk as again all it is is all these .exe files.

Sooo... I see . I must wait... Maybe in some time they relese this game in google play ... I don't want root, so i can't change build.prop ...
I am going to make a video here in a couple minutes showing off the King of Fighters game on my Xperia pLAY and post it on Youtube. This game runs smooth and the controls aork awesome.... really really wish that SNK will release this to the android market. I had to buy the game for $5 from the G-Gee market and it is totally worth every penny. I will post the link once I have the video uploaded.
K, this video is almost uploaded but here is the Youtube link. Also I aplogize for the poor camera work, its my first video. I just found the app ScreenCast which records your phone screens rather then me holding a camera to it... so it should be much better picture. from here on out I will be using that to make my vids... I will make another vid soon, getting tired..... and will post it on here.......
Here is the link for the youtie video, its up now
http://youtu.be/OUDRPF401OE
Video is up, I did the best I could for my first video. And I am trying to remember everything I did to get this all to work.. honestly I was up till 230am trying to get King of Fighters to download, then to work, and so forth. I am going to attempt to recreate the process on another android phone and if it works and I can figure out a much easier process I will post as much info to help others as I can.
TLRTheory probably couldn't download it becuase he wasn't on a vpn. Yes, this is a tough one. Looking at the sd card data, it has alot of elements of an android apk, but its not all there...... its incomplete. There are two attack vectors available to us:
1: Find a way to modify the sdcard data/g-gee market
2: Try to inject the game data into an apk file and pray it works without force closes.
I will try both, but number 2 is really unlikely due to me ****ing hating using Eclipse.

- Angry Birds!!!!!! (with music and usable, albeit, it just takes a little time to Start just Once Initially, the everything is quite normalish after initial start..... But the initial Splash screen looks so cool on the smartwatch it is worth the wait).
- Dolphin Browser
- Opera Mini Browser
Hints:
- To download anything in Opera Mini, select the DCIM folder, it seems it does not like to download on initial root. Warning, it is not fast downloading.
- When typing remember that it is a good idea that when typing in the small keyboard, that if you are fast, and keep pressing a key and notice it was not the one you intended, before releasing the key, if you do it fast enough, you can move your finger towards the correct key before releasing your finger. This is much faster than having to delete a wrong entered letter. If you keep pressing and fail to move fast, it would suggest alternative based on the wrong letter and you can no longer move to next, but if you click elsewhere, it won't type the wrong letter.
- Dolphin Browser is great because you can define shortcuts for common menus (remember you don't have a menu key), with its gestures. I made a gesture for settings and other to go to downloads and for full screen!
More Apps come!!
Please Share your Apps!!!
More Apps!
- Aptoid works quite fine to install new apps.
- Backgammon Free
- Bazooka Rabbit works! (albeit, not all the screen appears, but it is playable).
- ES File Explorer
- .... more to try ...
Are you running the latest 2.1 os?
I'd be interested to see these apps in action on the watch. Anyone want to make a youtube video?
Rooted it

I just recently got my imwatch and I'm already using the amazing side loader machine to load random apps onto it. I'll try to get a video going of it if I can but otherwise not many apps seem to work on it. If you can give me some ideas and a link to the apk to make things easier I will have more examples to show.
Great little thread. Lets hope more people post the names of more suitable useful apps.

I'd be interested to see how some apps work compared to my Motoactv. So some examples would be emulators such as gbcoid, snesoid and n64oid. Maybe some android games such as Hill Climb, and Hardest Game Ever. Apps, I dunno, maybe root explorer (or just explorer), a browser (I use boat browser mini), and mxplayer playing a video would be cool to see. Everything but the emulators I just got off the Google Play store. If you can't access the store on the I'm Watch yet I remember being able to take apps off my phone. Just download the app on your phone, then use a file manager to browse to /data/app/, then send it to your computer (I use bluetooth). I can send you the emulator apk's, just PM me your e-mail.
Use bluestack make it easier to grab the apk and download multiple apps at the same time,
Games or apps compatible with android 1.6 will have a much better chance of working...
Good info
apps
Got some more apps that seem to work on the i'm watch after the 2.1.2 adb update
go jkeyboard works
mobicalc
advanced task killer
voice search kinda works, cant find netwrok connection. would like someone to get that working.
dropbox works
graffiti pro keyboard works
dolphin browser works
gesture search
but there arent many people who are rooting and or doing things for the watch,. So if you can give me any ideas as to what to do to it or how I'd appreciate it,. Such as unlocking the bootloader
What I'm finding is that anything where you can draw or speak is more useful for this watch.\
rooting with super on click was the best way of doing it honestly .
Ok so I found a useful group of apks that make customization something a greater thing.
email me @ [email protected]
for the link. (don't have enough posts for links)
Thanks!
There is a new ADB version out. The last was 2.1.2 but now there is a 2.2.0 which I am going to update to now and attempt to see if it changes much.
Heres hoping.
how do you install those apps on the watch , i just got me a i'm watch 2 weeks ago and this sounds interesting:good:

Well theres two ways to do it.
1. you can do the whole rooting process by getting the ADB software from imwatch and using super one click to root it then install it through a sideload manager.
2. you can download all the apks in there and go to the im market and get Sideload Manager app from there. Then you'd put the apks in the DCIM folder and go through the Sideload Manager and install it that way.
Note: You should disconnect from the pc when trying to install through sideload manager app for option two.
Hello, could anyone help me check "Endomondo" and/or "Runtastic" apps can work on the I'm Watch pls?
Very BIG thanks !

Hi all with this smartwatch. How is it with the last update? Better sound in conversation?
Or still buggy?
Thanks all

It's still pretty buggy. But from the things I've seen android phones have apps that are capable of handling and changing the volume and etc on there.
Don't quote me but its just what I've heard. I have an iPhone 5 so I can't really share from experience.

[Q] "Invisible hand" created folder "ApplifierVideoCache" with advertisment in it

[Q] "Invisible hand" created folder "ApplifierVideoCache" with advertisment in it
Hi there everybody.
I've a little unexpected behaviour.
Today it happend the second time that i've found an advertisement in my picture gallery. It was a video about a game. The folder name was "ApplifierVideoCache", it was located on the SD-card. As i told it was the second time. First time is maybe 5 month ago.
I've searched the web, found some hits talking about the game Hill Climb Racing (have it also installed), that this could be the cause.
Also searched XDA, not even one hit (or i deserve pounding for beeing unable to use the search engine...).

Hi,
I also get this folder appearing out of nowhere. I also have hill climb racing installed so that could be it. I doubt that there would be a way to stop the folder from re-appearing though
I would uninstall the game. But if you insist on keeping it, you could try placing a ".nomedia" file in the folder. This should keep it from appearing in your gallery.
I've uninstalled the game. I like it but it's not the nice way to download smth without knowing (i was on 3G), esp. when it hast nothing to do with the game itself, esp. no 2 when it is advertisement.
I'll see if this stops now and the game was the cause.
Thanks for the answer.
