[Q] Riptide GP 1.02 Issue on Galaxy S2

As title, i got graphic problem to run Riptide GP 1.02 on my galaxy S2. I installed ChainFire 3D 2.8 Pro, 3 plugins (NVIDIA, QUALCOMM, POWERRVR) and the custom shader for Riptide GP for galaxy s2 in this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=14516601&postcount=717. The games worked but the display is like what this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=14796339&postcount=4 said, it is like half of the shader. It doenst worked like in http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UB4l4i8j7kY and http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rUCwXPRwcnQ. Had tried googled and search for solution and yet cant solve it.
Below is the problem that i mean for, able to run the game but the game is in graphic in print screen attached. Can anyone help me ?

Have tried lowering the textures ect ...does that help...
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App

hmmm... works fine for me with chainfire (set on nvidia and thats all)

Had tried different kind of configuration but the display is still same..would it be possible because of firmware ? or different kernel ? i guess the plug in i use is same with everyone..

had this issue before,i fixed this by set the default plugin to nvidia even that i had set the per app to nvidia..

Can anyone please give the link where u got the plug-ins? Mine seems to be not working.

i got mine working.. but it need internet connection to be able to play.. cant play while offline

I'm sure ChainFire will be overjoyed to know you're ripping him off.

Theres a huge problem with my Play, i'm at my wits end...

I've tried everything to get emulators for retro games such as sonic for the sega to run smoothly and with perfect sound. But it wont work. This isnt just for sonic its for any game in snes, gba or sega. I even overclocked the Play to 1.4 GHZ amnd the effects are exactly the same i bet i could overclo9ck to 5ghz and it would still stutter.
Does anyone have a clue about what the heck is going on with this Play? Videos show these games running full speed 200% on youtube. No other users have reported anything similar to my issues either.
Why is it important? I bought the play as an emulation machine not as a phone.
EDIT: Not to mention i now have an unknown baseband in the process... lol

Try to Re-flash using Sony Ericsson Update Service (SEUS)...
You can no longer find this software from Sony website but is accesible through third-party download centres such as Megaupload and Rapidshare.

Agreed, it sounds like a bad flash or something TBH.

Just used the flashtool and im back on 3.0 and baseband working again, but still emulator issue as before. Im in the process of doing an OTA to still keep the root which i did, rather than what i did before using the pc tool it removed root.
Is there any pointers for where i can get this SEUS like what version? How it works what files needed etc?
Thanks

Rather than hi jack the MIUI thread
I get the same crackling sound on mine, although I don't have any visual lag whatsoever. Prolly just the youtube quality, but I dont see it in your vid either.
As for the sound, that's the emulators fault. The -oid series have done that for me on both my phones, with varying degrees depending on which emu. However I just tried an alternate genesis app (genplusdroid), and it's a whole different ball game. I think it's running a tad slow, but zero crackling in the sound, unlike gensoid.
I'd try some different emulators

A genplusdroid i'll have to check it out. Somone recomended that supergnes is good fro snes and it is its better than snesoid.
supergnes - runs well on the play
genplusdroid - seems to run well on the play with no stuttering
n64oid - runs without stuttering at accaptable levels
Hmhm i wonder how these things will run on MIUI on the play.

Since MIUI is based on CM7, it will run the same as that, which should be just fine.

[PSX Emulator] Best FPse Open-GL Settings

Hey guys,
I was wondering if anyone uses FPse, the PSX emulator. I just recently purchased it and that damed thing killed my weekend. I was playing Metal Gear Soild the entire weekend trying to get the best performance etc. Looks like 'old software drawing' and Open-GL Blits mode or whatever works the best, but I want to rock Open GL. Once I turn it on, the performance plummets for me. Any suggestions on settings etc?
EDIT: Would a certain BIOS make a difference in performance? I'm using SCPH1002
Thanks,
--Marc

not sure about the bios thing, i have installed 1001. havent tried any games, need to find the psx stash, can't remember where i stored the few i kept to make an iso.
sent from my i9250

downloaded it today cuz i read that it now finally supports skullmonkeys the best damn game i ever played in my life (appart form max payne cuz i really like the stories and the comics in max payne and the vidz in skullmonkeys and what not)
i was stunned how it works, no lag no nothing with a game 627MB big. i use scph1001 as he recommended and thats it. non of the tweeks in video settings do anything cuz the frame rate stays at 59-60 constant and the picture quality stays the same, not perfectly clear but decent.

If you download/install the Open-GL plugin, it looks way better, BUT, I've noticed a huge performance hit during cut scenes etc.
Never heard of Skullmonkeys.
EDIT: Oh crap, did the most recent update and it completely borked for me.. v0.11.46

tried opengl that he offered it was prettty laggy and the video quality was the same as before. tried libopenglplugin.so and it fc's.
sorry bat what is the word "borked" i don't mean it bad but i cant figure it out

Hehe, 'borked' on urban dictionary just means it broke or messed up. How do you get these other plugins? I don't mind running it at the other video modes but I'd like to get the Open GL one working since it looks so awesome!

Use ePSXe! It is much better!
Requires no setup in order to play games smoothly Give it a try

He's asking for settings for opengl graphics, he can run it fine on his normal settings, doesn't need a new emu.

Difference by changing BIOS:
On boot screen text changes - sometimes Trademark logo, sometimes Copyright
Different menu for memory card management.
FPS lock ---
by last number in bios
0 - Japan NTSC --- 60FPS SCPH-1000, ...
1 - USA NTSC --- 60FPS SCPH-1001, SCPH-101, ...
2 - Europe PAL --- 50FPS SCPH-1002, SCPH-7502, ...
best BIOS for using is SCPH-101 - its newest bios from PS One console - much smaller and rounded corners
and also use NTSC-U game ISO

I've always used the 1001 bios for my PS1 emulators. I've used both FPse and ePSXe and FPse is honestly smoother for me. I have never messed with the performance settings and its always ran good. I played through all of Metal Gear Solid on my tablet with no issues.
Side note: I've been playing Final Fantasy 7 lately. I had forgotten how fun that game is.

[Q] Game compatibility.

Has anyone tried the more demanding games? If so how do they compare to other devices?
I'm tempted as I really want to play Xcom on the move(If it's compatible) But I don't want to lose the games I currently play a lot of.

I play X-Com on the 8.4 S and it runs flawlessly. Also played Shadowrun: Returns with no issues.

Name off some games and I will try out the ones I can. I can tell you that GTA San Andreas runs perfect for me.

All my games are flawless as well

Thanks everyone, they are pretty much top of my wanted list. And some of the 2D stuff, but I'd be surprised if it couldn't handle kairosoft games (amongst others)
My current device can't play Xcom or any of the GTAs, so I'll be upgrading tomorrow.

xcom crashes

I installed xcom last night. Runs really well but crashes at certain places such as when you first add an extra generator (but only if you build two things at once) after the first one save then build what ever else it is you want. Also crashes when you first promote someone if you click promote to fast. Just have to find the bugs and avoid them

Majority have been fine but I've run into some slightly weird issues with afew simple/free to play games - Seems like some of them are misdetecting the graphics chipset or something to do with the screen. I know the family guy game wouldnt run initally (null frame error - i think its been fixed now) and the simpsons game seemed to be using the wrong display mode/dpi when i tried it - all the textures seemed blockier than they should be.

I have the WiFi only 8.4 S and I'm having a really hard time trying to play. Sometimes it runs for 30 mins, other times it crashes to home screen immediately upon loading my save file.
I have stock TouchWiz kitkat and I've not rooted yet. Are you rooted, and if so what kernel/rom do you use? I suspect the bloat is messing w my processing power.
Thanks in advance.

I also have issues with XCOM, crashes sometimes at the intro cut-scenes and when i can get into the game i get about 2 minutes play at a time. Logged a call with the developer several days ago and they have been terrible. Tab S 10.5

At the time I was not rooted and I was using Nova Launcher. I say in past tense as I returned my Tab S 8.4 for the Nvidia Shield Tablet.
Thanks in advance.

I never had it crash or cut out. I do use Clean Master to launch my games with to make sure I get as many resources as possible for the game I am playing. That and Nova Launcher to remove the UI resource hogs.
Overall the Tab S is a great device and I had no issues with it. Unfortunately the Nvidia Shield Tablet was launched within my return policy and I swapped over.
