I was surfing the internet and realized someone on xda made a program called "chainfire 3d"....here is the market link....https://market.android.com/details?id=eu.chainfire.cf3d&feature=search_result
the program allows you to change your drivers to nvidia drives and im now able to play samurai II vengeance (which is only meant for tegra 2 phones)....here is the instructions to get the driver to work...http://forum.mobilism.org/viewtopic.php?f=399&t=199488
The game runs perfectly on my phone and I haven't noticed any side effects yet..
p.s. the programs allows to even use the qualcomm drivers as well
EDIT....make sure journaling is on...here is the link for journaling......http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1071723
thanks @063_XOBX for the heads up for having journaling on before....have a nandroid backuop before applying this as well
p.s. some roms already have journaling on, so make sure to check on that before you flash the "journaling on" zip
O.O thanks for sharing! I'm going to try this out later.

I saw that yesterday but didn't even think of a use for it. Awesome that it works.

Just a warning for anyone who runs no-journaled, it will force reboot your phone which might cause issues.

Are you on EXT4?
yea im on ext 4..the app was working perfectly and then i turned my phone off (normally) and then flashed the journal app and it was a dark screen when my phone booted...so i restored by nandroid backup and my phone works now...i think journaling messes up the app but im not sure...im starting over and see if i can get journaling and the app working together...did you have journaling on before??
The question is, are there any Tegra 2 games that are worth buying right now?

Fruit Ninja THD is pretty nice, but not enough changes other than having multiplayer (it's splitscreen, not online)
I'm trying Samurai II: Vengeance right now. I'll report back after. So far it seems good.
@whosdaman: download the Tegra Zone app off the market.
Where do you get the Tegra Games?
Alright, I've had enough time to test out Samurai II: Vengeance and the verdict is it's good. It's not amazing, but it's very smooth, seems like an interesting story, and time consuming. However, it is the classic "Hit, hit, slice, roll" controls that can seem repetitive if that's not your style. Otherwise, for a gamer like myself I think it's worth it.
Fruit Ninja THD isn't worth the upgrade, but if you've never tried Fruit Ninja before, get THD immediately!

Holy crap does it work flawlessly. That is kinda pathetic for the Tegra 2 that our phones can play their games effortlessly with a hacked opengl driver. I thought the games would at least be chugging a little bit, but they are perfect. At least Samurai II: Vengeance is.
About to try Monster Madness.
Edit: Monster Madness does not work.

Agreed! Although, this shouldn't be shocking. The reason why these games are meant for dual-core is because of the CPU usage these games use, and their ability to drain the battery pretty quickly if you play for a decent amount of time. Our phones do run the games well, however it does take up a lot of CPU usage, which is why Dual-core is more efficient since it can balance the memory between each processor without stressing either one.
But, does that really matter if you're home or at work next to a charger trying to find a way to pass some time? Of course not. Which is why this is amazing.
Chainfire is a god. Almost makes me want to find out what phone he has and switch to that. He just singlehandedly saved Android a HUGE amount of fragmentation. Seeing developers make games and apps that could only run on a specific hardware setup was worrying to me more than any other sort of fragmentation.

It's only on Tablets right now, I think.
If you look at the Tegra Zone app, it's released for Android phones sometime in June.

Did the news get around about a guy named butcher pete?
i figured everything out...i started over by restoring my nandroid backup...im running urbanlegend rom and i think it already has journaling on (im not sure and I don't know how to check if its on or not)...everything I flashed the zip for the "journaling on", my phone bootlooped...so i restored my old backup and just ran the app and everything works perfectly now...the chainfire app will works now and i am currently playing samurai ( a bit repetitive but a great game)
[email protected] i think this chainfire guy might have solved the android gaming issue also (hopefully)...being able to play games for different processers is awesome and i hope our galaxy s can keep up with the new processers and games that come out next year
the lack of a nvidia chipset is the only bump that is stopping me from getting a Galx2
I am searching around for about 2 days for Modern Combat 3 for the HD2. I like this game very much. Every time I'm downloading an apk and every time I start it up a message pops saying that it isn't compatible with my device. I tried once the Asus TF101 mod I could download the additional data but when I start it up it just closes. I'm using this Android version: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1256423 Modern Combat 2 is olso ok.

TBH it doesn't really matter. If you downloaded Modern Combat and ran it successfully, it almost certainly would be laggy and unplayable. The HD2's screen only supports two fingers and does that very badly too, plus the GPU is sh*t so I doubt you'd be very pleased with it anyway.

With latest and first ICS rom with HARDWARE ACCELERATION (released today) Modern Combat 3 is really playable on HD2 when it comes to performance. Im really impressive with this becouse it was unplayable on Gingerbread roms.
Multitouch Issue is still present but that is limitation of HD2.

I can't seem to get any gameloft games besides 9mm to play. tried about half of them and they crash on boot or won't finish
downloading from gameloft servers due to some error(checked my wifi no problems).
Is there some sort of compatibility list for KF and ICS for games or apps??
If not making one would be cool so people could avoid wastin time downloading **** that doesn't work(like me)
GT Free+ HD works fine.
UNO (Kindle Fire version from Amazon App Store) works fine when restored from Titanium Backup. UNO from the Play store runs, but doesn't work well (touchscreen issues)
I haven't been able to get Asphalt 6 to work (KF version from Amazon store restored from Titanium Backup, nor the Google Play store version)
Shrek Kart (Kindle Fire version from Amazon) doesn't work either from Titanium Backup.
That's all I've tried so far.
KF running gedeROM v1.45
I got Nova 2 HD to work but theres issues with the touchscreen locking inputs in
(aim left and it continues to wave or shoot and doesn't stop)just pausing the game
and unpausing resets it so its not that bad.
Counter strike and Minecraft work too.
The games I have tried haven't been from either store.. torrented them.
Guess I'll start tryin different sources and different Versions and post'em if i get lucky
EDIT::::: I think It might have something with the tablet thinking its a galaxy nexus and the
versions of the apk aren't really compatible with it. Do all versions of ICS show KF as a Galaxy nexus
or do they differ from which ICS was ripped from????
Has anyone had any luck with game console emulators, such as NESoid, SNESoid, N64oid, etc? I tried them last on Hashcode's vanilla release, but they failed to load ALL game roms. I haven't had the chance to try them yet on gedeRom, but I expect the same results since all ICS roms for the Kindle Fire are still in early development.

No, just this ROM masquerades the Kindle as a Galaxy Nexus. Others, like Hashcode's, show it as a Kindle Fire.

Dungeon Hunter 2 crashes after the opening cinematic, even the GTP1000 version which works for CM7. Such a shame. DH3 is boring as hell.
I've just tried NESoid and SNESoid. Both apps work, but when the scaling is set to "Stretched" and used in the landscape orientation everything is extremely blurry. Even the on-screen gamepad controls are blurred. It looks fine in the portrait orientation though. I'm not sure what's causing this...
EDIT: I was going to take a screenshot of the blurry screen to post here, but the screenshot is not blurry at all. So strange...

You have PvZ working in ICS? I've only gotten it to work in GB, what version are you using? For me, it works for about 30 seconds then freezes, which is common for ICS from what I could gather in the PvZ forums.
I am using gederom 1.55, with stock build.prop (ie galaxy nexus).
Works great for me, love that game!
No chainfire.
To the other guy, PvZ is fine on ICS, i dont play it often, but it worked for 1 game on same rom as above. Dunno, ive never had problems, just make sure you use powervr APK. If the market has problems, there is something wrong with the ROM i presume.
Hope ive helped!

Maybe, but they will not run ... because they run on Tegra, Nexus 10 is not Tegra, or if they do run they will run like crap ...

Just use google , find an apk , sideload it, see if it runs ...

From what I've heard, Tegra-only effects are bs. In other words, it'll run fine on any hardware that is capable of pushing the extra load (and a Mali-T604 should have no problem with that seeing as it seems to be better then Tegra 3 by a significant bit).
In any case, if someone could get a hold of Fruit Ninja THD Free, that would be a fine test to see if Tegra games can even be played.

They probably will not work since they use Tegra specific API for rendering... the best you could do is use Chainfire3D, but I don't know if or how well that'll work with Android 4.2

There's pages of people using Tegra Effects on non-tegra devices for DEAD TRIGGER, so if anything, it's possible maybe for a few games.
There are plenty of people in the Themes & Apps forum, mentioning that they've got various games working in the N10 gaming thread, so some of them do work, it's just getting hold of the ones you own legitimately that's the difficult part.
I tried modding my build.prop but my market died and failed to connect to the server until I restored it. A reboot at that stage would likely cause you to bootloop so I didn't try rebooting.

That was because it used standard GPU API for the advanced effects, but just turned it on for Tegra only devices... the game itself euns even on non-Tegra devices... any game with Tegra specific API calls will not work... some may start up, but may FC when they reach a point when such a call is made... but most apps written specifically for Tegra check the GPU and don't continue...
So this seems to be all games with controller support. I don't have a game pad installed but the games insist I have a game pad installed. Is this a bug or might be a hardware issue ? Can someone test?
I'm on stock 7.1.1
What version of android are you running?
I have oreo beta 3 and I'm having the same issues with games like modern combat and dungeon hunter's

I have the same thing. A month ago I submitted a bug to Gameloft about this and indicated that I am not alone. I also pointed out that their Modern Combat 4 is working properly. I got regular response with some troubleshooting, such as FAQs. So I tested on Android 7.1.1 and Oreo Beta 2 and 3, same issue. Game shows controller input and wants user to press R2 to shoot and not giving on-screen controls.
