Has any one played shadow gun on their Dinc
Sent from my Incredible using XDA App
I have on my Atrix but it wont run because my INC doesn't have a tegra wonder if there is a non tegra version
I've read somewhere that you can download an nvidia plug in and enable it with chain fire 3d.
Letting you play just about any tegra game.
I figured out how to play it. Here's a thread I created explaining how.
[HOW TO]Play games requiring NVIDIA tegra. Shadowgun, Sprinkle, etc..
Ive tried a few games. Shadow gun works perfectly and looks awesome.
All gamesloft games ive tried do not work. then run, download files but then just fail to load with errors like video cannot be played and then just say application has stopped.
What games have everyone tried?
I've the following games installed on mine and they all work perfectly:
Angry Birds
Angry Birds Seasons
Copter 3D
Dragon, Fly
Crayon Cannon
Shadowgun
Sprinkle
Reckless Getaway
Wind-Up Knight
Cut the Rope
I also have Wind-Up Knight and angry birds. Anyone got any games loft games working?

Letsgolf HD 3
I've tried
9mm
Cut The Rope
Both run fine.
Drag race
SNES AD
anyone got modern combat 2 or dungeon hunter 2 to work then?
I've tried Block Breaker 3 which runs a bit choppy but fine. Also tried Captain America but that has resolution problems with icons and texts not aligning properly.

Have anyone tried Zenonia?
i think is easier to ask and come up with a list of What Games Do Not Work with Galaxy Nexus?, than asking for what games do work, as it will be like 90% of games in the market and off the market
chances are many of the Gameloft 3D games that are Exynos / Hummingbird CPU based will not work on this phone
We generally have to assume Gameloft games WON'T work :-/
Asphalt 6 HD works great though, downloaded from the Market. Didn't work on my DHD...
N.O.V.A. 2 doesn't work.
Working:
Apparatus
Air Attack HD
Fruit Ninja
X construct
Dungeon Defenders Second Wave
Live Holdem Pro
Contract Killer
Sketchbook Mobile Express - (Sketchbook X doesn't register the Pentile screen inputs properly)
Has anybody tried NFS: Hot Persuit?
Personally I can confirm that the newest version of n64oid works perfectly well, I've been playing Star Wars: Racer and it's great

Hey all,
I recently got my galaxy nexus. I have seen the Nvidia Tegra Zone & Qualcomm Gamecommand. I was wondering whether there was an equivalent for Texas Instruments.
If not, are there any games that run particularly well on the T.I CPU for this phone?
Thanks!
there is not a TI app like nvidia but the phone should handle anything thrown at it. modern combat 2 and 3, shadowgun, nova, GTA3, madden...they all run fine.
Oh, I felt slightly left out when nvidia altered apps release their thd version for games and we are unable to play them as we are incompatible.
It plays games as good or better than my galaxy tab 7+ with exynos! TI is no joke and I seriously under estimated it. What a nice surprise!

Just install Chainfire 3D and you can install all the Tegra games from the Market and they run perfectly, really shows off what the GN is capable of and the games look so good on our 4.65" 720p screen
I really hate THD and QualComm's GameCommand. It separates the Android community again and is all marketing.
Pretty much to what keyz86 said, Chainfire 3D ftw! If it wasn't for this app.. we'd be in trouble.
Below are the videos that I have made myself on my SGS3 running chainfire 3D Nvidia Plug-in.
Riptide GP (Tegra 3 optimized)
This video is to show you how enchanted graphics looked like for Nvidia Tegra 3 games on galaxy S3 without having Tegra 3 processor but a better processor
The advance detailed graphics, the water, water splashing effect and blurring of screen on applying boost is only because of these Nvidia Plugin. Use chainfire 3D on non-Tegra 3 devices to have graphics like Tegra 3 devices for Tegra 3 optimized games.

N.O.V.A 3 (Tegra 3 Optimized)
This video is to show you how enchanted graphics looked like for Nvidia Tegra 3 games on galaxy S3 without having Tegra 3 processor but a better processor
The fire, smoke and falling object from sky are all because of this chainfire 3D and without this plug you would not get this funtionality.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ncwiDEDdOdo
Sega Sonic 4 Episode II THD (Tegra 3 only Game)
This video is to show you how enchanted graphics looked like for Nvidia Tegra 3 games on galaxy S3 without having Tegra 3 processor but a better processor
This game works only on Tegra 3 devices and it is not out yet for non-Tegra 3 devices. If you do not have Tegra 4 device then install chainfire 3D drivers and Nvidia Plugin and it would run like a charm especially if you have a beast like Galaxy S3
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kEvCGpZuA8w
Max Payne (Tegra 3 Optimized)
S3 running Max Payne using chainfire 3D Nvidia plugin. However you can play these game without chainfire but as this game is optimized for Tegra 3 so it should show better graphics with chainfire drivers as this game is also optimized for Tegra 3. This way you would get better antistropic texture filtering and lighting effects.
http://youtu.be/hc5-2W4lfsU
GTA 3 (Tegra Optimized)
S3 running GTA3 using chainfire 3D Nvidia plugin. However you can play these game without chainfire but as this game is optimized for Tegra 3 so it should show better graphics with chainfire drivers as this game is also optimized for Tegra 3. This way you would get better antistropic texture filtering and lighting effects.

I would upload more videos here if I installed more games and have time to make more videos.
Nice! Can you test if Galaxy on Fire 2 works? Been waiting ages to get to play this game.
I was waiting for this, how does chainfire work? I thought it didn't on the S3 can you make a howto please?
I though that chainfire 3d couldn't do tegra3 games, but only tegra2 with the current nvidia plugin... what changed?
i can't find any tegra 3 plugins, i thought chainfire 3d only support tegra 2 games?

Not all Tegra 3 exclusive games work. The Riptide GP, Max Payne, GTA 3 are made for all processors but optimized for Tegra 3 so these games works on galaxy S3 but you can enhance graphics (which they made for tegra 3) using chainfire 3D.
I have tested 2 Tegra 3 exclusive games Sonic 4 Episode II THD and Shadow Gun THD (Tegra 3 only) and Sonic works but Shadowgun does not work and just when you are about to download additional files it gives error that Tegra 3 enable device needed.
So chainfire 3D does work on Galaxy S3 for many Tegra 3 optimized games. Samurai Vengeance THD also works but it is a Tegra 2 game. I would try to test more Tegra 3 only game and I would report if anymore would work.

I think you're confusing things. Shadowgun, gta3, max payne and more are tegra2 games, hence the plugin works with them. Sonic 4 episode II might be a tegra 3 game, but it's still compatible to tegra2 devices, hence again why the plugin works. Shadowgun THD is a tegra3 *only* game. It wont work on Tegra 2 devices and so far there's no plugin for chainfire that can work for it.
In other words, the current nvidia plugin can only work for tegra2 games.
can ı do it with the S2... galaxy on fire 2 tegra 3 worked well on my S2 device with chainfire 3d
Is this with the experimental driver or just normal installation?

I am using same plugin. There is no new plugin. Not all Tegra 3 only games work some work like Sonic 4 Episode II works but Shadowgun THD (Tegra 3 only) does not work. Other games I have tested is not Tegra 3 only and run on other processors also but they are optimized for Tegra 3. Good thing is that these optimizations do work on Chainfire 3D which is good thing. At least you can play games in better graphics (enhanced for Tegra 3)

I have installed the experimental drivers as well but it should work without experimental as well because experimental drivers are required if you want to change the MSAA settings to 4x or 16x. The Riptide GP video that I have shot is using 16x MSAA however without 16x MSAA it still looks as awesome as this.

You might be correct but Sonic 4 Episode II is Tegra 3 only at the moment. They would release the Tegra 3 version shortly. I am not confusing it and if you read my posts then I am saying that I am testing those game which works on other processors (beside Tegra 3) but enhanced for Tegra 3. So if you play N.O.V.A 3 on galaxy S3 then you would not get fire, smoke, burning objects falling from sky, lighting effects and other cool effects. You get these effects on Tegra 3 devices but with chainfire 3D you can get these effects. Same is true for Riptide GP. You would water splashing effects, better water effects and blurring effect on turbo boost using Chainfire 3D only. If you check both these games are optimized for tegra 3 games. Check the photos and description in the market for both these games. You don't get these effects on even Tegra 2 devices.
Also in GTA 3 the textures and cars are more detailed using chainfire 3D and I am not sure about GTA 3 whether it is optimized for Tegra 2 or Tegra 3.

I said earlier that I am more interested in games which are optimized for Tegra 3 to get the visual enhancement. Shawdowgun THD is totally a different game to for download for only Tegra 3 devices and the download for additional files is blocked if you are not using Tegra 3 device. I would check other Tegra 3 only game beside Sonic 4 Espisode II as well whether they work or not but to me the visual enhancement for Tegra 3 optimized (not Tegra 3 only) is good enough reason to install chainfire 3D and I give full credit to chainfire and thank him to make it happen for non-Tegra devices as well. I wish if he can update the drivers to fool the shadowgun THD as well then it would be cool. There is no doubt S3 has better GPU than Tegra 3.

I can do the how to video but it is already covered here on XDA forum before. Please search on the forum. The installation is same as on every other mobile i.e.
1-Root your mobile phone
2-Install Chainfire 3D from market (buy pro version if you want per app setting)
3-Once installed, download 3 plugins (you can search through google) Nvidia, Qualcomm, Power PVR
4- Put these three file on your SD Card and install them from within the chainfire 3d application by going to install plugin/shaders
5- once installed open default OpenGL settings and click on use plugin. Chose Nvidia and go back. You are done and start playing game.
6-If you have pro-version then you can do per app settings instead of using default GL settings. Per app settings is also needed if any one of your particular game does not work with these drivers and you can setting plugin to none for that particular game.
I hope it helps.

I have tested and the game Galaxy on Fire 2 THD works fine Below is the link where you can see this game on Galaxy S3. The video I have made is crappy and jurky but the game works totally smooth. I think it is Tegra 2 game. I am uploading the video on the below link and in 12 minutes it would be up and running:

Thanks for pushing the thanks button. I appreciate that
Shadown Gun THD is not working on SGS2 with chainfired 3d.. it might not work on SGS3 as well, I guess.
Im now deleting the max paynes mali gpu data files and pasting the tegra 3 s data files.. I hope it will work from my last saved game Im just experimenting.
and can you send me the tegra sd files of riptide gp and the .apk file or tell me which version are you using ?.. because I couldnt find the proper thd version of riptide gp.

Thanks a lot, it is the normal procedure then like it was for the S2 just wanted to make sure I will apply it as soon as i get my blue S3!
will loading the nvidia plugin cause the game to detect a tegra processor and automatically download the files for it or do i have to find them for each game and manually paste them in?
Dear fellow S4 Mini guys,
I have bought this wonderful device a week ago, and since then it gave me nothing but usability comfort and modern smartphone awesomeness (I think its part High-end and part Middle-end (namely PPI and GPU are of the middle-end. You are welcome to discuss this though).
Being a mobile gaming junkie, the first I did is fire up a latest PPSSPP and playing some PSP titles, and I am still amazed at how the ARM cores have matured over time, Qualcomm Krait 300 (and 400 that started to appear just right now) and ARM Cortex A15 currently being state-of-the-art.
However, my grudge is against the GPU, which is less important to platform emulation than it is to native Android games. While it is enough for any game I actually play on S4 Mini, it is showing its middle-end teeth on the games like Iron Man or even Vice City. And I started to wonder what this Adreno 305 GPU is actually about. I've been for quite some time apart from recent 3D Android titles, and have seldom spare time for checking anything that is downloadable to figure out for myself.
So I wanted to know what games are the most GPU-intensive and demanding so I could test them and get a grip on the general GPU performance of S4 Mini. Not that it would change anything, but once the curiosity starts to spread... From Youtube videos I know that N.O.V.A. 3 runs quite good.
Thank you in advance, and you are most welcome to discuss the general performance of our device and your notes on performance of specific games.

**Test purpose only, i do not play these games**
Sent from my GT-I9195 using xda premium
Thanks, I'll check out some of these games tonight.
However, from my experience with 2011 Xperia Play I can state the following:
Dead Space, Shadowgun, Mass Effect and Need for Speed Most Wanted will run flawlessly on anything even remotely more powerful than Adreno 205, which is considerably behind Adreno 305.
Btw, I forgot to add that Carmageddon, GPU-accelerated mode of FPSE and N64oid run flawlessly as well. But I believe they are not GPU-demanding enough to push the limits of S4 Mini.
Take a look at a game called "The Room". Quite fun as a puzzle game and looks quite nice.
Seem to hit some snags here and there. You determine if it's poor optimisation or if it's just GPU-intensive.
Another game that looks quite good from the screenshots (don't really play fast-paced games on my phone) is a game called Galaxy on Fire 2 HD (it's free).
Galaxy on Fire 2 HD isn't supported on the I9195 though

Yes it is indeed weird. I've emailed the developers and their reply:
Thank you very much for the report, that Galaxy on Fire 2 HD is not available for your Samsung Galaxy S4 Mini LTE, we'll forward it to our development team in order to let them check this issue and whether the game should be compatible with this device.

That is in "your case" through the playstore yes. If you get the APK from other sources, you can install it. Basically most games that say "Not Compatable" are compatable anyways.. it's just the playstore that thinks your device is not supported.
Beware that if you have editted your build.prop and your DPI, playstore can also have compatability issues because its 240dpi for this device.
Also I'm not listing games if they do not work, obviously!
NOVA3 just works fine.
