Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic for Android - Ouya General

It seems that an Android port of KOTOR was released. It lists full HID controller support. Has anyone tried sideloading this on the Ouya?

I tried. The app will show the splash screen and crash. It isn't a matter of it not being from the play store either because I have the play store on my ouya. A shame really because I bought it in hopes of getting it on ouya. The only other device of mine it works with is a galaxy s3 with a busted screen.

I tried sideloading it after I installed AOSP 5.0 - Good news. It launches the game. I'm still having trouble with AOSP, so i didn't do much, but it seemed to play ok.
EDIT: I think i figured out why it crashes at startup for other roms. So when i got it running initially on AOSP, it had my ouya plugged into a 1920x1200 monitor and i don't think it knew what to do, so it was running at like 640x480. I then plugged in my ouya to a tv and it started at 1080p. When I tried running Kotor again, it crashed at startup as reported by others.
I added the following to the ini file in /sdcard/Android/data/com.aspyr.swkotor/files/swkotor.ini under [Graphics Options]
Height=480
Width=840
This will allow the game to run. I played for a while, and it seemed ok. It is a bit slow, so we may want to try a lower resolution. The ouya may be getting too dated to play this very well.
One problem I ran into is that the ouya controller doesn't seem to be mapped correctly on AOSP. the triggers were mapped to look left and right as well as switch characters and pause. You have to hold the left trigger half way down to stop the camera from moving and hope it doesnt pause the game or switch characters while you are playing haha. It would be frustrating playing for too long without a fix.

Running fine on cm11 port. Hope this helps.

Sideloaded working apps for OUYA

I've got a bunch of apps working, lets compile a list of working apps.
~Netflix
~Hulu
~Flash Player
~WatchESPN
~Dead on Arrival 2
~Beach Buggy Blitz
~At Bat
~Slingbox
~Adobe AIR
Other's I've got working:
- Amazon App Store
- Chrome Browser (can't exit without a keyboard)
- Plague Inc.
- Astro File Browser
- XBMC (of course)
Which version of Hulu did you get working?
None of I've tried the latest from the Play Store as well as the "modified" versions available here at XDA and neither of them work for me. The latest one loads the Hulu splash screen and then crashes, the modified ones just show the main screen no matter what I click on.
- ES file browser
- GBAoid
- Others mentioned
Have others had good luck with Netflix, while I can make it run I have had no luck with audio. Hopefully we get some official versions of some of these soon.
Here's a couple on mine:
-Falcon Pro
-Titanium Backup
Edit:
madmofo145: I had netflix up at one point, audio was hit or miss.
Haven't had any issues with Netflix, but I didn't really use it all the much either lol

It was an old modified apk I made, not the latest but it works. I'll see if I will change the new version of it

Any chance you could share the modified apk?
I sideloaded GTAIII just to try out the stereoscopic 3d support. It seems to work great, 3d display works, controller works, everything.
Then just for kicks, I gave quadrant standard a run too.
Other than that i've only tried the obvious things, busybox, Titanium Backup, etc.
It seems that all those games that didn't adapt well to having a touch screen and not a controller are the ones I didn't keep around, so now I'll have to go browsing through the play store to find them all again.
I would like an copy of that hulu apk too
@madmofo, with Netflix you need to use the touch pad and click to increase the volume. The bar is not working correctly, at like 80%~ on the bar you get no audio, you move it as high as possible, it then works.
I am running NOVA LAUNCHER which now that I finally setup makes the system a lot more accessible. The nice surprise is how well ZEN PINBALL HD plays, the plunger is triggered by the O button not the analog stick. I posted over galcon.com to ask for controller button mapping for DYNAMITE JACK, the directional controls do work already. DRAG RACING also supports the controls for driving.

I didn't even consider this would work. Would definitely like a cleaner launcher.
Do the OUYA games still show up in Nova? Is Nova easily navigated with the controller?

Yes and yes. Though I find Nova easier to use with the touchpad than the controller itself.

Good to know. Maybe I'll try one of the Windows 8-esque tile-based launchers.
My MOGA came with Sonic CD and MC4, loaded them both, Sonic CD works flawlessly, MC4 won't launch
I tried Zen Pinball HD because I wanted to see if the stereo 3D worked - loaded and ran no problem (runs considerably better than the pinball game in the Ouya store - but no analog for the plunger which is a bit of a bummer.)
And yes the stereo 3D "just worked". My TV detected it and switched into 3D mode without me having to do anything. Only problem was one game of pinball was enough to give me a headache...but that's not the Ouya's fault!

Have you tried copying over data files for any other tables? I made my first attempt and now the app crashes at the splash screen.

No I haven't. The Ouya is my first tegra device so I haven't used any tegrazone apps before and haven't tried buying any additional tables yet.

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
Sent from my SGPT12 using xda premium
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.

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.

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

Doesn't work on mine. No errors or anything it just doesn't show up when I go to cast. Same results with my gtv vizio co star. Works perfectly fine on my N4/7 though.
I tried it on mine last night. I only tried youtube from my phone. It switched into youtube mode, but just displayed a wierd logo in the middle. like it didn't have the codec or something.
I might try google music. but it kinda seemed like perhaps we don't have a specific library or something like that. Hopefully someone more skilled then me can figure it out!
I got a htc evo 4g lte and it works on mine but you have3 to have youtube on both devices I wasn't able to get google music to work
For me youtube and google music are working both.
Using cheapcast on the ouya and remotecast (beta) from the playstore on my phone (jiayu g3).
(but google play was already working on my ouya)
Greetz,
CheapCast works on the Ouya, but you have to be connected over Wifi. Ethernet does not work.
There are two bugs written against this:
https://github.com/mauimauer/cheapcast/issues/10
https://github.com/mauimauer/cheapcast/issues/8
Having ethernet connected results in the app returning the loopback address in the device-desc.xml, which causes it to not show up in the list of available devices. In my experience, when it does this due to being connected to ethernet, you have to reboot the Ouya with the ethernet unplugged for it to start working and show up as an available device in Chromecast enabled apps.
App has moved in the play store. This is the new address

Worked for me as well but now I'm having an issue with the playstore
1. 1.5GB free storage GTA VC is 1.3GB
2. Installing app says insufficient storage space even though there was enough
3. app failed to install but left the files it downloaded for the game somewhere on the OUYA and I can't seem to find it to delete
4.Looking for temp/cache files from the playstore I know they are somewhere but where exactly using root file explorer to try and find the files/file with no luck
5.I'm assuming this is a common/know problem it can be fixed with a factory reset but I would rather learn where the issue comes from as I see it often on devices with small storage spaces
Any help would be awesome guys trying to get my posts up So I can post in the DEV forum i've been rooting and modding since the iphone and T-mobile G2 so I understand most issues that I come across this one is just driving me NUTZZZ lol
maybe you can try
App Cache Cleaner

Or something similar.

Try to shorten the Cheapcast Friendly name.
When I change it from "Cheapcast_Barn&Noble Nook HD+" to "Cheapcast_NookHD+", it starts to work!
Before I change it, my phone(AT&T Galaxy I(NOT II)) was NOT able to even detect the Cheapcast service/device.
Hope it helps!
I was having a similar issue with a WIRED PC connected on the same network as the Ouya going through WIFI. I fixed the problem by putting my Ouya in DMZ mode in the router configuration. BOOM! It works now with all my devices. (Asus Nexus 7, Optimus Elite, and Windows 8 PC). You will know when the Ouya has Cheapcast configured right on your network if your (updated) Youtube app starts the tutorial right when you launch the Youtube app on your Android Devices showing you how to stream to your new "Chromecast".

List of sideloaded games that work

Does anyone have a list of sideloaded games from Google play or Amazon that works with the Nvidia gamepad or any other one. Not sure if being rooted or not rooted is of importance!
I would like to see if FIFA 15 works!
I have yet to find a single game that WON'T work. I use Market Helper and then use the web installer so I don't have to sideload the APK files, and they all have worked with a mouse. You can also use droidmote to controll touch games, though I havent' done that I always have a mouse and keyboard at the ready.
They all work you just need a mouse to play the games they made for touch screen.

Has anyone tried any of the games from Nvidia Tegra Zone? I believe they are mostly for tegra 3 but should still work though the graphics might be a little lower?
I haverun games from both the play store, and nvidias own store, and they all work as intended. Even nvidias game stream worked pretty well. I was just playing Saints Row the Third, and set the game on ultimate, and it played with no noticable lag, and yes, I know it's not being run on my system, but mearly the fact that nvidia's servers will handle ultimate with no lag also. Great experience, and better in fact that it was on my PC.

It's not that they are hidden, but they don't have Android TV support. One of the biggest parts of "support" is having an icon that can display on the TV interface, so they won't show up. I suggest sideload launcher for any non supported apps.
I've been using xbmc/kodi as my launcher and am pretty happy so far.

Give it root permissions when it asks. Pick tablet, then nexus 7, hit apply, then ga to a web browser on any machine, go to the play store on the web, and install to the nexus 7 from that. Done.

KOTOR troubleshoot

Hello,
Hope I am posting in the right place. This is the one game I wanted to get going on switch android. Has anyone got this game to run? I validated all the files and it loads up but gets stuck at the kotor logo screen.
Any ideas to get it working or does anyone know why it wouldnt work? So far Ive tried GLtools to spoof gpu/cpu in an attempt to get it to maybe work but no luck there either.
Thanks

Great ideas, both appear to come installed with the 8.1 switch android and I made sure they are up to date. Seems to be another problem getting it working.
Didn't tested but my hint is try using gltools to spoof another hardware to the game. Helps when I wanted to run rr2 in my s8, and seems that people are getting fortnite to work using it.
Working great for me, didn't have to spoof anything or do anything special, works right out of the box. In-game screenshot here.
Maybe try waiting a bit on the splash screen, it takes about 30-45 seconds for me to load up.

At least I know it can work. Thats strange mine wont get past the boot logo. I downloaded it from the play store current version.
My sd card seems fast enough android assistant says boot time is 2:00 to load into android and everything seems fast. Whats your boot time about?
Ya I can't get past the boot logo either. Always crashes when I push a button on a joycon or just hangs there till I exit. @spenat how did you install the game?
Absolutely nothing special: Just installed it from Amazon Appstore and played. Nothing more, nothing less.
Now that I think of it: Maybe there is a different version in Amazon Appstore, than on Google Play..?
Play store, Amazon app store and downloading the apk all cause the same issues. @spenat did you install shiedlier, magisk or the joycon fix?
I have installed following mods/updates:
- Shieldifier (and updated the Nvidia App)
- Magisk (latest)
- Joycon fix
That is it, not sure if it could have any impact on that.
Weird, nothing I do can make it work
If it's of any help, my KOTOR version is 1.0.9.
I have also recorded a short "test" video of the loading time (and a very short portion of gameplay).
What menu or app are you using to open the file?
It's a launcher called "ATV Launcher".
So I have bought it from Google and Amazon. Downloaded patched version. Clean wipe and fresh install on a new SD card. And nothing. Just hangs at the logo forever,
Same issue here, crashes on boot logo.
A thought, have you tried noting without the joy cons connected?
What KOTOR version are you using? Maybe try side-loading the KOTOR app (look for version 1.0.9).
I haven't tried launching the game without the joycons connected, will try and report back.
I have tried the 1.0.6 on google play, 1.0.7 on amazon, 1.0.9 underground and a bunch others and all do the same thing
hmph just hangs here too is this guy trolling? not cool gonna try atv launcher
just tried no luck there either.
Are you logged into the amazon game service? it wont let me do that...
do you also own this on a legit shield?
I am not "trolling", you can watch my video above - the game is working fine for me... No, I am not logged into amazon game service.
Also no, I don't have the game on Shield device, I don't even have one. I have it in Amazon Underground app store since a long time ago.
