Some games will hold a saved state, so just pause the game and press the home button. Then just go back to the game's icon when you're ready to go back to it. That said I've had more than 1 that don't do that and its quite frustrating.

It's not the games fault, it's cause the play has such little ram, the OS will quickly close background applictions
As long as your not playing online just press home. To re-access the game, hold the home key and reselect the game icon.

I've noticed this issue with certain games no matter what, for example this pinball game I downloaded from the market a while ago, not even on my Play but my old Droid which has even less ram. Other games would pause and go back no problem, but the Pinball game, no way. Tried it on my tablet too and had the same issue. Its pretty annoying, not sure why that happens.
Also Android will freeze apps, but not close them, especially if it runs out of memory. You can still go back to it. The only time it closes them is if the app is idle for a long time.
Some games are designed to automatically close on exit to home screen.
However a lot of the games that are on the Xperia Play launcher allow a quick return via home key.
Keep pressing on it was there a way to disable it. I've tried a few apps and they don't work well.

There are some game apps for when your kid has your phone. Is this for general use? Or just when your kids are on it
General use been trying volume apps seem to crash once and awhile. Was wondering if there's any way to disable it completely.

I know some of the kid game apps do that, would just have to find out what functions they use to do it.

So i've been testing a ridiculous amount of sideloaded games on the OUYA and figured i'd post a list of every game i've found that works with the controller. I'm sure there are many more so help me fill out this list!

Legion have you tried Modern Combat 4 the latest meltdown update Gameloft secretly added generic HID support and works perfect out of the box check it -
Also I know Ouya supports Dual Shock 3 pad native, have you tried pushing permissions to system and installing Playstation Mobile?
Direct Download of my PSM Flashable Zip (Or open and push manual) - http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=1467214&d=1352405263
Cant test yet as still waiting for my Ouya

I've tried several different versions of Modern Combat 4 and unfortunately none of them work. Since the OUYA doesn't have the Android market the only Gameloft games that will work are from the WAP store, but even then the only one that's working right now is Dungeon Hunter 4. I REALLLY want Blitz Brigade but no matter how I try to sideload it it refuses to work.
PSM does work but I haven't experimented with it much.
You maybe able to later (Check this last post in the Google market fix thread/Ouya developement - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=43203621&postcount=31) This MC4 with HID is the latest Google version BTW.

Anyone else have trouble with The Conduit force closing?
I got to the 2nd mission (the one that looks like they pinched it straight from Goldeneye on the N64), about half way through and the game just closes back to the Ouya menu. Anyone know of a workaround? It's seems like quite an entertaining game.
Your post says all gamevil RPGs have you actually been able to get Dark Avenger to work? if so how? I am unable to get even past the intro screen and controller seems to do nothing.
-thanks
Have you tried installing an apk installing the Google Play Store on the OUYA? Don't know if this is possible and haven't tried because my OUYA just got in.

You can't just simply install the apk for the Play Store on OUYA. The Play Store relies on several Google frameworks that aren't present on OUYA, and even if they were, you'd need SU on the console to push the Play apk to system and set the relevant permissions. There's a whole thread about it on the forums somewhere.

As I said I haven't tried it or read about it. Just was making a comment. Have been reading an other topic that they have installed the apk but still don't have any luck on getting apps to work more easely.
How do you get Jet Set Radio to work? I tried to copy the APK and the Android/obb/jetsetradio (or android/data/jetsetradio i can't remember) folder as well but it crashes when I try to launch it
Thanks

I haven't been able to get it to work outside of getting into the main menu either. That entry refers to their retro styled rpgs like the Zenonia series, Illusia series, Destinia, etc. I'll edit that part of the list for future reference. Sorry about that.

Jet Set Radio works great for me, make sure you are copying the obb file to Android/obb/com.sega.jetsetradio/ because as you have it written won't work.
Alright i'll try again. thanks!

Edit: The game won't open, the screen just flashes with a spinning loading icon.
I'm downloading it from the market now
If it doesn't work with the Ouya controller I can also test with PS3, 360, and Nyco Playpad.
Hey guys and gals!
I'm still pretty new to the ouya but I'll try some stuff over the weekend.
Got GTA VC and III working great, no problems.
You can add Pocket League Soccer by Kairosoft to your list of working games. It works with the analog stick and the d-pad although you have to use the touchpad for pressing things. I'll test more Kairosoft games and I guess they'll work the same way since they are pretty much the same games.
How did you get beach buggy blitz to worm with controller?
@paco8 thanks!
@gottahavit Click on the settings button using the touch pad then click controls then choose the "gamepad" option
Galaxy Hero has controller support, but it's a bit wonky and at times you still need the touch pad.
I'm trying out Spectral Souls right now. When it finishes installing (It validated my Play Store Purchase) Ill post how it goes.
Ok, time for some more... Sadly though, my logitech wireless mouse and keyboard don't work. Probably cause they are 5 years old. xD
Anyways, here we go:
Age of Zombies - black screen, not working.
Beat Hazard - working though only with the touchpad which is quite difficult. I used the fixed thumb stick and had to double-tap and drag it around.
Death Worm - working yet impossible to play with only the touchpad.
FIFA 12 - won't download data. I didn't try transferring data.
Gunman Clive - working really good thankfully after changing the controls in the pause menu.
Heist: The Score - downloads data fine, but I can't navigate the menu at all.
The Impossible Game - navigating the menu with the touchpad and jumping with the O-button works great, yet placing markers only works with the touchpad which can be tricky.
Infectonator - only with the touchpad which is quite difficult.
Space Invaders: Infinity Gene - only with the touchpad and in portrait mode which makes it practically unplayable.
Kami Retro - downloads data. Does not respond at all though after that.
Osmos HD - of course very hard to play with only the touchpad, but it's working.
Pac-Man Championship Edt - working with the controller, although it is in portrait mode and strangely there is no sound.
PewPew 2 - also strangely only gives out audio yet nothing working on a black screen.
They Need To Be Fed 1 - loops the first few seconds. Not playable at all. I haven't purchased part 2 yet.
I will test some more soon. This was rather unsatisfactory. Only Gunman Clive and The Impossible Game are enjoyable with the controller IMO yet maybe Beat Hazard, Death Worm, Infectonator and Osmos HD will be easier with a mouse.
my favorite game ,WINDUP KNIGHT works super perfect
Hey all,
I am on the CM build posted in the T-Mobile dev section for my d801 On some games, my touchscreen will not work at all. CSR Racing, Megatroid, and --- are an example of 3 that do not work. I can play some games like Dots and Field Runners that work just fine. I noticed this first when trying to play CSR between ROMs. I have tried the posted PA, AOKP, and CM ROMs and they all exhibit the same behavior in those games.
I tried some searches but I haven't seen anyone with a problem like this in any phone. I went as far as to enable the touchscreen layout visualization in developer options and there aren't even any touch boxes defined, according to that tool.
I'm trying a fresh installation to see if it does the same thing. I'm thinking maybe another program is somehow interfering with this? I tried disabling lux, llama, and screen off and lock because I thought those programs may affect this condition but nothing has changed.
Any thoughts on what to try next?
Just tried a fresh install of Slimbean, activated my Google account, downloaded CSR Racing and the touch screen didn't work for the game. I could still hit the hardware buttons but couldn't do anything in the game. Frustrating!
We need the developers to figure this one out. Someone posted some logs over at the CM thread which hopefully would be useful to them.

Hello, Guys.
Is it possible to run 2 games simultaneously on a Samsung Galaxy S8 using the Multi-Window mode? I saw other phones which can do this but unfortunately is not working on my phone.
Here's an example, I have 2 copies of an app/game and i'd like to play coop by myself using 2 accounts. Both apps opens and goes to Split-Screen view but both games does not stay active at the same time. Only the app that I am currently using stays active while the other one goes on Pause status.
Is there any workaround with this? Thanks for helping me out.
You can't force the behavior of a game to run when not in use. They are made that way by the developers of the game. There are games that can do what you ask but not all will support it. I know there are games that do it because I tried it myself.
HAHAHA!! Seriously dude.
