[Q] Can you desire play the new gameloft game smoothly??

Gameloft game like : Shadow Guardian HD , Asphalt 6 , Fast Five the Movie: Official Game HD V1.0.3
All of them can't play smoothly on my desire...
I have rooted my phone and flashed Cm7 rom.
I just wonder that is it the problem of my phone or all the desire are not able to play those game...

desire is too week for these games! i have tried newest gangstar and nova 2 and lags like hell.. even asphalt 5 was lagging .. so...

First Gangstar was playable on my Desire. A bit laggy at times, but still playable quite fine - same thing with NOVA 1.
Anyone tried Eternal Legacy yet? I am very interested in playing that one.

Yes and its very laggy. :-( Gameloft suck at games for Android. My friend has it on his desire s and its still laggy. Lots of game devs do better games ad they run fine.

agree.. gameloft's games are not that optimized but they produce the best games..
i think it would have been very nice if we could increase/decrease graphic level (very low, low, normal, medium, high and ultra high) for games on android just like on a pc... so that newest games can be run on most phones with different graphical level depending on the the phone's capabilities

besides gameloft ,
can you guys play need for speed on desire shift?
Actually i can play it before i root and flash the desire,
but after i root and flash my desire (tried oxygen, Cm7 , now using cm7) ,
i cannot start need for speed on my phone ,
only the opening can be seen and then jump out to home, no force close

U guys could try overclocking the desire by flashing a different kernel

is overclocking something like setting the cpu?

will the rom crash with the kernel? (I am using Cm7)
Which kernel are you using?
Thankyou

GTA III

Noticed GTA III is showing as not compatible with Desire Z/G2
Anyone know a reason why is it dual core??
Found an official compatibility list
Apple iOS devices: iPad 1 and 2, iPhone 4 and 4S, fourth-gen iPod Touch
Android phones: HTC Rezound, LG Optimus 2x, Motorola Atrix 4G, Motorola Droid X2, Motorola Photon 4G, Samsung Galaxy R, T-Mobile G2x
Android tablets: Acer Iconia, Asus Eee Pad Transformer, Dell Streak 7, LG Optimus Pad, Motorola Xoom, Samsung Galaxy Tab 8.9 and 10.1, Sony Tablet S, Toshiba Thrive

Oh er, I've just downloaded it.. Got to wait until I get home on WIFI to download the 400MB data files though.
Reading the comments, someone has been playing it on an original Desire so although it may not be "supported" but may still work.
Craig

it works on my desire (i have it from applanet), but too slow, what it makes unplayable

I just downloaded it and it works/plays amazing!! Only negative thing is the sound cuts in and out on the opening cut-scene, otherwise its perfect.
G2...the phone that never quits

same here,
only overclock to 1 GHz and it work's great with MIUI 1.12.09 and Pershoot's newest Kernel

Market won't let me load it on to my phone, I assume I'd have to buy it and find the APK elsewhere?

If you have change your LCD density, i can appear as not compatible with your phone, try to go back to stock density (240)

side loaded the apk, downloaded data via wifi.....runs great [email protected] on cm7.1 stable...stock kernel

Not so great on my phone running RcMix3D runny 4.0
Overclocked to 1.5ghz and still choppy

I have been playing the game on Virtuous Unity and the game is choppy. Also, the game appeared right on my market. It doesn't appear on my Xperia Play market, but that is probably cause of my custom DPI settings on it.

Looks like its now compatible with DZ very playable on bulletproof EOL with pershoot kernel
Shame its got no keyboard mapping support for controls so I can use my gamegripper
I love this phone!

Anybody have a download link to this??

Uninstall market updates. I never get the incompatible message on apps with the original market. Or just sideload or search the Amazon app store

Bought it legally, only thing is that it downlaoded me the last version, not supporting anymore desire z, so I must play it with Chainfire 3D

Anyone kno0w how to play this game with the keyboard? ( W,A,S,D ) just like the computer.... cuz on screen controls sucks!

Yes but its a bit contrived.
I use game keyboard from the market to map dpad controls to the dz keyboard works really well with my gamegripper
This setup also works with onlive which totally improves gameplay

How can I download it ?
EDIT #1: So, after download from mirrorcreator.com and overclock at 1200MHz on MIUI 1.12.30 with stock kernel it's going fast

played it smooth on IWLT rom
some people from russian forums removed sounds and say its extra smooth then

[Q] Game performance

Hey there
Ive been playing with my new One X for a few days now and really like it, luckily i dont think i ahve experienced any defects so far which is always good however recently i decided decided to install really graphic intense games like GTA 3 and Shadowgun THD to really test the Tegra3.
While the game impressive and are playable i cant help but be a lil underwelmed by the One X's rendering of these games. Theres often slow down with skips and jumps which is really jarring when playing games. Has anyone else played these games and experienced the frame rate issues?
The One X also gets really hot, almost making my hand to start to sweat..
Thanks!

Before launching the games, go into settings -» developer options, and tick the option to not keep background tasks. No probs at all then. After finished playing, untick again

THanks for the tips, although it still seems to jump a bit. Maybe it will improve through software updates. im still on 1.26.

Yeah could be. I'm on 1.28 and shadowgun thd is super smooth with background tasks disabled
Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium

Disconnect wifi and mobile data aswell

I just installed it today,was a bit laggy the first time but then i've turned of my wifi and bluetooth and worked like a charm.Version 1.28.
PS:You can also try to play Shadowgun,it's absoluthly amazing.

Good suggestions, thanks. Still iwsh there was a lil more FPS. But its still good!

[Q] Reckless Racing 2 stutters, help?

Hi,
One of the first games I bought for my HOX is Reckless Racing 2, problem is: it stutters slightly. It's not that much, but enough to make it frustrating to play. Anyone have any idea how to fix this ? It seems to me the HOX should be able to easily run this game.
This is the only game where I have this problem.
My HTC is at stock rom, and I'm using Nova launcher

Hello, i play this game too and have no stuttering at all. Everything is nice and fluid ...
but don't know what can cause that except another task using CPU for example.
Make sur you don't have any application in background syncing or uploading something ...

To my knowledge there is nothing running in the background. But even then, this device has a Quad core, unless something pretty heavy is running, it should be able to handle that, no ?
What tool can I use to check if something is running in the background that uses cpu ?

Go to settings> Apps> Downloaded> Reckless> Clear Data and Force Stop. (If you dont want to delete your gamedata then just clear cache and force stop). Now reboot and launch the app.
OR
Redownload app, reboot, and launch the app. Then report back
And do hit thanks

lol this runs @ locked 60fps
since its running in low detailes mod, blurry textures, no shader effects no nothing
clumsy port

I cleared the cache and rebooted and it is indeed better. Not perfect, but better & playable.
Do you have an explanation as well ?

I just downloaded the game, its runs perfectly without any lag !

FPSE FF7 Settings?

Does anyone know what the best settings for the One X would be?
I've been messing around with the video settings for a few days now but I can't figure out what the best configuration is, anyone have any experience with this?

I advice you to use epsxe emulator, it has less options then fpse but the sound is 100% identical(fpse really has bad sound...) and visual wise it's good too! Also 60 fps constant. As for options for fpse just use frame limiter and software emulation or opengl and frame limiter, but still ff7 has most epic soundtrack ever and fpse fails to emulate most of the sounds and music!

Thanks, now if you can continue being so nice and guide me through how to continue playing my save game that I've saved on FPSE on the EPSXE I'll gladly switch!
I've put some work into the game already, and just starting from scratch doesn't seem an enjoyable option for me since I've beating this game many times in my child-hood and I'm just replaying it for the memories.
And I do agree with you, sound is pretty ****ty on FPSE and that takes the experience right away from emulating FF7 on it!

I don't have fpse anymore but I'm pretty sure there's an mcr file you have to copy and paste from your fpse folder to epsxe. Or you can copy your in game save states to epsxe. (memcard is better though) Let me look it up for you, as I bought fpse a while ago.

Thanks, friend!
I'll do this tomorrow, first I need some sleep!

Ok I can confirm it works with transferring your memory card from fpse to epsxe. (save state doesn't work! Has a different framework)
The memory card is located at /sdcard/.FPSE./memcard (its a hidden folder so make sure your file explorer has show hidden folders enabled.)
Copy slot1.mcd to epsxe memcard folder (located at sdcard) and rename the file to epsxe000.mcr launch epsxe and enjoy no more missing sounds! I bought them both and the two euros I spent for epsxe were worth my money Let me know if you need help if it doesn't work but it worked out for me, happy ff7ing man!

Thanks a lot, I had the same problem and didn't want re-start the game

Ouu this sounds fun
All I need now is to find a decent FF7 iso I guess...
Going to install EPSXE now! :good:

Epsxe on an HD720p screen like ours just sucks hard.
But if you like pixels, why not, right, you won't have any difficulties to set it up, there are almost no possible settings xD
Final Fantasy 7 without Fpse's openGL mode is just ugly.
As for sound, I guess you've tried Spusync option? And what format is your iso? if it's .bin, you need the .cue that goes with.
Also use framelimiter to get constant fps, and play a little with "latency" option in MISC settings. FF7 runs perfect in openGL on my oneX, no sound problem, and no ugly pixels and blurry filtering like Epsxe
@AndyLeJizm: "visual wise", Epsxe is just ugly on HD screen and tablets. Fpse can render PS1 game at your screen real resolution, and sound problems can most of the time be solved if you use the accurate settings.
Also Epsxe may have better support for sh...y downloaded ROMs from the internet, that's true, and explains most of the time why people go to Epsxe.....

It looks fine to me (somewhat smoother graphics then original ps1, cause they have hardware rendering now with new update), whoever played final fantasy 7 knows that graphics don't matter especially for a game that's thirteen years old and sound is super important with oldskool rpg games. And yes I've spent countless nights to figure out how to get perfect sound emulation on both my phone and tablets with fpse but it never came close to 100% (missing instruments in music, sound fx that sounded real bad) In my opinion, if you don't care about nifty graphics but really want 100% the same identical ps1 rom (or ofcourse a music lover that loves oldskool nobuo uematsu fantasy music) as it was supposed to be then epsxe really
Is better. Might not be the best looking but it sure is the best sounding my two cents.

On my Galaxy S5 both emulators run smooth. I use fpse, because the opengl plugin works great, makes the game look way better than on the PS.
And still it runs smooth. In fact, no matter what settings i try, fpse seems to be around 10% too fast. I played youtube movies of fixed sequences, such as the gold sauces speed square, as they run on the PS and my emulated game clearly finished earlier, even when i synchronized them at the beginning. This is with frame limit enabled of course.
