Try Eternal Legacy HD or Symphony of Eternity. Though its more like a FF than DH game.
and did you try these two games ? because im not shure about these games on Galaxy S 2. Thanks

I wouldn't recommend if I don't have it running on my SGS2. You can get Symphony from Amazon App store. With Eternal Legacy HD, you either have to find the apk or already have it from another phone.
ok, i will try it. thank

Eternal Legacy HD is working with your Galaxy S II ?? Everytime I tried, it didn't worked !
Have you done something special ?
And thanks for Symphony of Eternity, I've never heard of it

Yes, EL HD is working on my SGS2. I'm using CF3D to run it using POWERVR plugin. It also could be the apk (from SGS1) I'm using. People have reported they can't get it to run but I'm able to. I can't explain it & you're welcome on SoE.
I tried what you said and it's not working... I used the Galaxy S1's apk and the POWERVR plugin but nothing...
What ROM are you using ? Can you please explain more about what you've done to make it work ? (I'd really like to see it running on the Galaxy S2 )

I'm using stock KE7, Supercurio v4 kernel & rooted. Let me try to find my Captivate & take pics to show proof. I did as I have stated in previous post.
Here are pics. Let me know if you more or close pics without the post-it note in the picture.

Only difference between our SGS2 is the kernel. I saw on another post (while looking for the kernel) that you have chainfire 3D Pro, did you enabled some specific options ?
Sorry to bother you with a lot of question, but really want this game to work ^^

If you're into anime like graphics try Zenonia and Zenonia 2!!! they should keep you for at least 30 to 40 hours each!

I flashed the same kernel as yours and put the SGS1's apk and nothing new. :/ I'll have to wait for the SGS2's apk
Thanks anyway, you've spend some time to help me
Kostask11=> I've already heard of zenonia, good games ^^

If it's fake then I must have mad PS skills.
Fake -> False pictures about video in youtube
Not a fake -> Make a simple video starting the game
Nobody in this forum and others cant run the game and you can? xDDD sure. You are free to feel yourself important but dont lie other ppl that is trying to play that game plz.

Game incompatiability

Im just gonna rant for a second because i just don't understand this. There are a whole bunch of games in the market that i know will work perfectly fine on this phone yet i can get them. Can someone please explain to me why that is. Also if games are made to run specifically on tegra 2 devices how come the same games (after i do the chainfire exploit) run Sooooo much smoother on my phone when compared to a g2x. Shouldn't it be the other way around?

Is it just me, or does Metal Slug 3 run like crap on the GS3?

I don't know if this has been asked before in depth, but Metal Slug 3 runs like crap on my Galaxy S3. The game starts fine, then it gradually slows down, and finally freezes. The same is true for Blazing Star. It plays fine initially, slows down, and then freezes. I don't know if this problem is exclusive to me, or if everyone with a Snapdragon S4, US variant Galaxy S3 is experiencing these issues. No one at the Play Store mentions it. Is this a real problem, exclusive to me ,or just an optimization issue.
Not that I think it's connected in any way, but I'm running the latest Free Sonic ROM, released on Friday.

Thanks for the reply. At least I know it's not just me then. I hope SNK optimizes these games. Especially since most new phones are using the Snapdragon S4 processor.

i experience the same thing on temple run! thought i was alone with this. is anyone using a ROM that forces the GUI through the GPU? i am, and i think that may be it. couple that with the adreno GPU we have thats inferior to the mali GPU's, we may have our answer? not quite sure though, just a theory

Um if you are playing this on an emulator then you can forget SNK optimizing anything.
Most gameloft games run like crap on my gs3 but on my evo 4g lte it don't same processor so what gives.

Play SNK games on Emulator instead and you will never get slow speed,and they are all free including Metal Slugs.
I'm not playing it on a Neo Geo emulator. I'm playing SNK's official android port. It's really inexcusable. I'm sure there will be an update where the freezes are addressed. The Galaxy S3 is the most popular phone right now, so if the issue is prevalent, it will be addressed with an update.
Yes the Mali is somewhat better, but it isn't anywhere near a night and day difference. I haven't seen any benchmark or real world application where the Mali 400 spanked the Adreno 225. Truth be told, right now the Adreno can handle any current android game with ease. In my opinion, optimisation is the key.

Yeah Mame Reloaded.Go to Emuparadise and download Final Fight(World) and see if it works.You can set your own rom directory in settings toh,dont unzip the files but place the zip in rom directory.
The other version of Mame is good too,they just use different rom sets.Reloaded has better compatibility.
Just place Final Fight zip in rom directory and start the app,it should work.When you see that it does then you can download more roms.And you can use ps3 or wii controlers with it.
You will need this zip that i made for neogeo roms www.4shared.com/zip/ZWYvtdxA/neogeo.html .
Download the other Mame4Droid(0.37b5) and put the neogeo.zip in rom directory.After this you can download any neogeo rom from Emuparadise and it will work.
Also try other emulators they have n64,sega cd and genesis,snes and turbografix 16 are best ones.

I have the same problem (graphics slow to a freeze, but music plays fine) with Blazing Star and Metal Slug 3 on my Nexus running CM10 on a Galaxy Nexus. I don't think I had that issue with Metal Slug 3 under CM9. It could be an ICS vs. JB thing, especially considering JB's focus was graphics running buttery smooth (and having the opposite effect here).
I have the same problem here. No one from the play store seems to be complaining and I think it could specific to galaxy s3 running jb.
Funny thing is metal slug one and two world like a charm and can't imagine how much more complex the third instalment could be...

Tegra 3 graphics

Hey everyone. I'm a current iphone user and want to switch completely to android. I've messed around a little with it in the past. I was wondering if anyone could tell me if the Note 2 can play games in ultra high graphics mode for games like Dead Trigger and Riptide GP. I love this phone but I am an avid mobile gamer and this is a big deal to me. If not is there a way to enable these settings like the Tegra 3 devices have. Thank you!
This phone has a far more capable GPU than the Tegra line, but nVidia money is greener than ours, so developers only enable those graphics on Tegra devices. Chainfire3D may or may not work with the Note II - you should find the thread for it over in Android General and ask.

Im a former long term iphone user and im telling you note 2 eats iphone for breakfast and jelly bean is light years ahead of ios
I have Transformer Prime (tegra 3) and Note 2 and for sure the Note 2 is a beast. Games like Dark Knight, Spiderman etc just run a LOT smoother on the Note 2. Is nice to have Tegra 3 for the occasional Tegra only game but i wouldnt sweat it too much.
Does the Note 2 play games at the same level as a Tegra 3 processor phone?

Define same level because I just said about it destroys my prime so no sure what you mean. If you mean all the special effects, that is not something we control but Nvidia and the game devs blocking features that the Mali can easily run.
Like there was a hack for Dead Trigger that allowed you turn on all effects before for example.
Yes I was referring to all of the special effects. Sorry if I wasn't clear. I knew about that hack but I wasn't sure if there was a complete solution out for that, like chainfire for example but I know that chainfire doesn't work on jellybean.
Nothing really that I know off and and I never liked Chainfire as it seemed to always messed something up..at least it did for me on Captivate and Note.

If you are an avid mobile gamer are you sure android is the right fit for you? All the games are on iphone and only some make their way to android. If you do want android then get a tegra phone like one x as that will give you better graphics games that are just for nvidia but it's slim pickings so far for amount of nvidia games available.

I check it daily and yes I like the note 2 big time but all the games come out for iphone first and some like game loft release it for android a week or two later however many other developers never release for android. There are so many games for iphone its not even funny it beats android by miles. I can give you many examples of games on iphone that are not out on android. I hope this changes soon and android is getting better but not close to iphone for games. Android has better productivity and business apps however.

I know with Dead Trigger there is some sort of cfg file you can modify to enable the extra tegra graphic settings.. i cant remember where i read about it though. i think it was in the at&t gs2 forums. If i come across it ill post it up. I know it was a simple fix and im will to bet other game probably have a similar fix.

Need for Speed works flawless on mine. Have not tried others.
I can get Nova Multiplayer to work fine, but not the single player. Quite annoying.
I can't get Heroes or Order and chaos or Wild Blood to work correctly. Wild Blood lacks lots of graphics and Heroes crashes on the tutorial without explanation. Anyone have some thoughts?
TomTom doesn't work, but that isn't a game. Some drawing apps don't work yet either (all from the Hello ColorPencil variety), but I'm sure they will be fixed and aren't games.
The Simpsons tapped out has so much lag that I can't play it with this tablet, yet there is no problem when I play the same game on the first note 10.1, I wish I knew what the issue is, maybe it's the 4.3 problem ?.??..

I found it to be very frustrating as well. Turning "power saver" off seems to have little effects as well. I'm thinking that there just isn't good support for the tablet as of yet, it's only two weeks old.

What version of the note are you using? Wifi or lte edition ( exynos or snapdragon)
Could everyone write up what version of the note you're having issues with, that way we might be able to find a patern. I.e what SoC is more stable, reliable.
Basing on similar Note 3 the Snapdragon 800 version has better app compatibility along with better performance.

I'm assuming you meant the 800 snapdragon?
It's faster, a tad more stable ( as far as I've been able to gather ) and seems to have broader support within games/ apps / development.
In essence
Snapdragon better GPU
Exynos Better CPU

Sorry I meant the P600 which has the Exynos. I don't really see any benefit to having it. Sure it has "8" cores, but if it can't run things properly, why bother?
You guys are on drugs if you think the hardware isn't capable of running these games.
Just wait for the developers to update it won't be the end of the world.

I think it's more than capable. I'm worried about actual development more than anything. I think we'll see fewer roms/kernels, and less support for apps/games.
Yeah, we probably won't see roms or kernels thats true, i'm fine with that part as it defeats the purpose of this device.
As far as support from games it will be okay since these devices are selling fairly well (Note 10.1 & morso Note 3).

Sorry to dredge up an old thread but I just got the 2014 edition yesterday and I'm finding this game almost unbearable. But here's the weird part, previously I had the original Note 10.1 and it played fine, just like you say. When I got the new one I wiped the old one to give it to my wife. Now the old one lags terribly too.
This is really frustrating, but at the same time gives me some hope. It ran fine on the old one until I did the factory reset. So that tells me there might be a setting somewhere that can fix this issue.
Of course, this thread is so old you guys might have already solved the issue. If so, please post how you fixed it.

Still an issue. I've tried a number of things - factory reset, CleamROM, standing on my head, starting a new game, etc. Can't get decent performance out of my favourite game! This sucks!
Maybe I should try to open a support ticket with Samsung - wonder if they'd even respond.
