I just wanted to know what games work for you guys. I figured most games would be supported because of Qualcomm Adreno graphics. But I tried Mass Effect: Infiltrator which just crashes, and MC3 and Nova3 just say unsupported. So I just wanted to know, what graphically good games you all have been able to get working.
Thread is now just a discussion about games on the S3.
Shadowgun works.
Asphalt 6: adrenaline tells me my device is not supported.
Need for speed
Final Defense
Front Line Commando
Most Glu games I believe, Gameloft, on the other hand, rarely works
Riptide GP is a good one. Worth buying for sure.
Nba jam works.

Has anyone tried Chanfire 3d on the US S3? It worked perfectly on my s2, but now when I install it it reboots the phone, after driver install, and the app is missing? I tried to re-install the app, but says 'incompaitable update'.???
Samurai II: Vengeance works

I don't know what kind of games your looking for but Minecraft Pocket works on mine and so does Game Dev Story.
Which needs for speed works? I have shift and it wouldn't work.
Temple run, Osmos HD, and World of Goo works

Max Payne does NOT work. You can move and aim but all the other controls are missing and the touch setup is grayed out. You can even bring up the menu to quit once youre in
It's BS about all these games that are not supported for the U.S. Galaxy S3. Millions of people would buy these games and so many do not even work. I have weaker device but at least it has way more high-end games for it. Either that or I can spend more money and get way more high-end games for my iPad.

No problem! I haven't looked into emulators since the mt4g days and I noticed a lot of emulators and apps to find ROMs went missing from the market. Searched and came across that goldmine. very informative and they all run smoothly, the fpse works pretty well too. only played ff9 and castlevania sotn on it so far.. buttons are kind of hard so gonna look into the sixaxis controller soon.
btw i recommend the capcom and neogeo emulator. AWESOME!
Where can I download roms for these emulators?
Edit: NM just read your whole post..
I cant figure how to make the emulator work. I've d/l some csp2 roms and can't figure how to play them. Can someone give me a quick tutorial?

you can always check the original thread.
what i do is simply download the ROM launch the emulator, search for the ROM and play.
you have to choose the actual full sized games, some are considered as "CLONES" and don't work properly. the games are usually bigger than 5mb, if one is about 1MB then i suggest finding another.. and i think the ones with the letter "u" at the end are also clones, not exactly sure.
so...
1. download rom
2. launch emulator
3. search for downloaded rom
4. insert coin and start!
From what I've read our stock rom will not allow us to use the sixaxis or wii controllers. There is a problem with the stock Samsung bluetooth stack. We can flash a CM or ASOP rom which will change the stack. However, that also removes MHL functionality as far as I know.
I'm currently using FPSE and playing some old Final Fantasy VII. Also have snesoid going.

For those it's working great for, did you need to do anything to fix the framerates? Every ROM I have tried (Mario 64, Zelda OoT, Starfox, etc...) runs horribly slow and I have no idea why.
Works great, didn't change anything.
For the record it worked great on my Galaxy Nexus as well.

was having a heap of lag too. bugged me quite a bit as it was working perfectly before i sent it to get repaired.
found if you have "Auto Haptic" selected under sound settings, it lags a whole lot. Must use a bit of the cpu to try and work out when to vibrate. All is good now :cyclops:
Firstly, my SGS3 is completely stock and not rooted.
I've been having issues with games not being compatible and then seeing other people playing the game that was incompatible on my phone. It started with Modern Combat 3 which refused to download the additional data because of a "connection issue". I contacted Gameloft who sent me a new APK which had the same problem. They then sent me Asphalt 6 and Gangstar Rio: City of Saints all of which had the same problem. I have since tried MIBIII and NOVA 3 which both said that they were not compatible with my handset and to request a refund.
Apart from when Gameloft sent me a game, all the games were purchased/downloaded from the Play store.
Is there something that I am doing wrong or is there a work around that I haven't been able to find? I've searched a stack of threads and haven't found an answer to hit the nail on the head.
Any help would be appreciated.
Cheers
Even i'm not able to install most of the games you have mentioned above, if you find a fix, please do update here

Bump, just an update. I didn't get to try fpse but I am playing through epsxe and the games are working great. Chrono Cross anyone? Epsxe also gives you an ability to run Open GL plugins so your characters are all high-res, freakin amazing. [not available in fpse] Works great wirelessly with the ps3 controller as well if youre interested.

What's the answer today? I heard they took Xperia Play controls OUT of Nova 3, is that true?
I'm looking at MC4 and Asphalt 7, I need a third game
ZombieWood is a good option. Others: Wild Blood, The dark knight and the best of all, Modern Combat 4.
Other new great game; but not made by Gameloft, is Bladeslinger.
I'm pleased to report that if asked nicely, Gameloft will provide a direct download of version 1.0.2 of NOVA 3.
I anticipate also getting MC4 for sure.
Got MC4 and Asphalt 7. Got to disable AdrenoBooster for Asphalt, still have some FCs. MC4 works great.

MW - Better graphics, most realistic, licensed cars, great carrer mode. Bad soundtrack
Asphalt 7 - The visual is not so realistic, gameplay like arcade. Great soundtrack. Multiplayer mode

I haven't played NFS:MW yet. Asphalt 7 looks bad in screenshots but actually looks and feels really good while playing. I would compare it to NFS:U on the PC, except instead of drifting mode it has a big powerslide feature they call drifting But it's actually really enjoyable. I didn't enjoy the analog control much, but using the gamepad on the Play is great. If I really want to play a simulation, I can play Gran Turismo 2!
I've only played a little MW4 and Nova 3 so far. I think Nova 3 is actually the better of the two games from a technical perspective. It feels much more responsive and the graphics come across better. It's also better from the perspective of playability on small screens. In MW4 you're expected to shoot stuff that's just a couple pixels across. It has autoaim, but it can be pretty hard to even see what you need to shoot on a 4" screen. But this is just a first reaction to the game engine, really, not the game overall.
I havent tried nova 3 yet. But i heard they removed xperia play controls. Is that true?
Sent from my r800x using xda developers app
Nova 3 1.0.2 available from gameloft
I don't even know if it's true, but if you see above in this thread, I emailed them and asked them for version 1.0.2 which I understood to have Xperia Play controls (from another forum thread, if I find it again I will link it) and they sent me a direct download link to the right version. I can confirm that version 1.0.2 works on my Xperia Play with full gamepad support including analog controls.
Im already have nova 3 1.0.2 version, but the touch analog got problem when on vehicles. Really annoying to control it but already finish the game.
