[Q] THD/Tegra Games on Nexus 4? - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I come from a Nexus 7, and just figured that anything that was THD or Tegra-optimized, would have the best graphics available, and would only run on Tegra hardware.
So with the Nexus 4 having better hardware then the 7, would it be able to run these THD/Tegra-optimized games? I would think the only thing that might stop a THD game from working on non-Tegra hardware is if it used some Nvidia-specific GL extension or something, but idk.
Some games I had in mind were DEAD TRIGGER (They have a Tegra version, and a normal version, but would the normal version be the only choice?), Fruit Ninja THD, and Shadowgun.

Tegra-specific apps won't work on non-tegra chips. That used to be amendable by using Chainfire 3D, but development on that has ceased

with Dead Trigger you can enable the tegra 3 water effects and stuff by modifying one of the game config files: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=28264365&postcount=54

A little bump but i wanted to try arma but its tegra only...is there any way to bypass it?to actually play tha game?

hardware acceleration gpu for 3d gaming
All galaxy s kernels support hardware acceleration.
not working new 3d games running only for lg 3d
If you're talking about Tegra games then no. They are specifically developed for Nvidia Tegra devices and will not work. Anything with THD at the end are a no-no unless you have a Tegra device.
You mean 3D like that stereoscopic thing? If yes, then answer is NO, and there is no use to it on SGS, since there is no 3D screen. If you mean simple 3D games (like Gameloft ones), then there is (and already was) support of SGS GPU in all of it (exept ones exclusively for Tegra and Quallcomm chipsets, but there is not a lot of them).
i am talking about Tegra HW3d, i heard that some one make a emulation device driver for it

galaxy and thd games

hello! will be possible playing thd games in galaxy s2? because some phones can play games optimized to other phones. I dont know a thing thats why I asked here

I'm really curious too!
Whilst it has the abilty to play most games nVida perform a check to see if a Tegra chip is inside.
I believe it can be bypassed with route however.

You can play THD games, but you have to root your Gs2 and install Chainfire3D (you can download it from market, Chainfire3D is an intermediary OpenGL driver )

[Q] Tegra 2 games on Kindle Fire

Hi all,
Does anyone know if there is a build.prop trick to enable Tegra 2 games on the kindle fire?
Was wondering if the same kind of trick used on sgs ii can enable it...
Cheers,
Kindle Fire doesn't run on a Tegra 2, so I doubt any of those games will be able to work on it. I'm pretty sure Tegra games are hard coded to work with that hardware.
download chainfire 3d app from market
Read this thread and you will be good to go!
I saw at tom's hardware running Tegra zone games in a non tegra device, and they got the games running but with many many graphical glitches and weird performance.

Something that really bothers me about tegra 2 and 3

Well i see lot of games coming for tegra this year
most of them for tegra 3
it really disappoints me
well somepoint iwill get the prime iguess in around 4 months in my birthday but until anyone has an idea if maybe a driver like chainfire could unabla tegra 3 on tegra 2
well iknow its not logic but you know like with chainfire that you can reduce texture quallity
(sorry for my really bad english XD)
well i have no idea what you asked
He wants to know if you can play tegra 3 games on a tegra 2 device.
Sent from my X10a using The Force
seems like what he is saying is that a lot of the newer games that have been announced have only been for tegra 3. but take shadowgun for example it was only soposed to be tegra 2 but later was given versions for otehr less powerfull chipsets. so i assue newer games will be announced for tegra 3 but after a month sor so there will be a tegra 2 version so not to worry. also im sure chainfire wil get right on it once more tegra 3 devices and games are out
I am guessing......
....and I could be wrong. That he is hoping that someone can wave a magic wand on all the new "Tegra 3 only" game titles (whatever they may be) and make them compatible with Tegra 2.
I believe, he thinks that Tegra 3 is driver related and not architecture change and therefore unlockable, like reducing the graphics settings on a new game to minimum so it plays on an old graphics card.
Sorry if that is not what you are thinking Hearmeman. Pure assumption on my part. Google "Differences between Tegra 2 and Tegra 3" and you will see it's not just graphics.
Well
about the architecture
i guess you can use qualcomm drivers and mali drivers on tegra 2
i cant any problems with tegra 3
i do know the chipset is changed
iguess chainfire will release a driver that allows that
Hehe, I'm down to 0 game on my TF. I guess I'm not as enthusiastic about tegra 3 as I should because I'm not a gamer.
Expect THD versions for Tegra 3 and then they will be adapted and the hardware restrictions will be lowered and given to other devices.
If a game was natively meant for Tegra 3, I wouldn't expect to see it on anything less than a Tegra 2 because then the developer would have to lower the game quality so much that it would insult how the game was meant to be played.
dont you think that they just can reduce texture or colors
it boost up the framerates
you see like in riptide they added motion blur and water splash nothing serious
im really looking forward to buy the prime the next few months but until then
Hmm, I must have been looking at other games, the ones I saw said they would be for T2 with enhanced versions for T3.

Tegra compatible

Might have been mentioned before but..it seems the Note 3 is being classified as Tegra compatible as all my previously Tegra only games are working AND seem to be displaying Tegra 3 graphics...Both unbeknownst to me until today..I've been enjoying some superb game play on this beast >
Edit: I have found a few of my Tegra games that still show incompatible, but most are working. Also, THD games are a no go. But I was able to enable Tegra 3 graphics in Dead Trigger 2...omg....sweet..
