How to add to "Play Games" list? - Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Does anyone know how to add games to the Play Games list? Not all downloaded games that work with XPlay are on the list...

bump

If you mean the games launcher I want to know if this is posssible also!
Xperia Play-
Dixperia 2
V6 Supercharger
Lightning Launcher
LFC!

Ok, I haven't used stock Sony apps in a while. Is that the name for the Xperia Play Launcher now? If so, there's a thread around here on modding the game's xml file and what not.

Submiting Game into Xperia PLAY Game Launcher?

How do we submit our game to xperia play game launcher? do I need to just put a 'xperia play optimized' tag on my game description and it will be added automatically?
Need help here
Thanks in advance
Put:
Code:
<meta-data android:name="xperiaplayoptimized_content" android:resource="@drawable/icon" />
in your AndroidManifest.xml (before </application>) for a game to show up in the Xperia PLAY Game Launcher
...and "Xperia PLAY Optimized" somewhere in the description for it to be searchable.
Thanks for the information. That would be very useful.
So the game submission is fully automatic?

You can pay a small fee to have your game advertised in the "More Games" tab of the Xperia PLAY Game Launcher... but that really doesn't seem to be worth it IMO since it's not even permanent.
The major things are to make sure it shows up in the Game Launcher's main tab, and that it's easy to find ... and those are both things you can do yourself.

How can you force games to show up in PLAY?

Not all my games are showing up in PLAY games that work with the control pad. How can I get them to show up?

[Q] Xperia PLAY Launcher alternative

Hello guys! I'm looking for an alternative for the xperia play launcher since it only works with some games ... So far I have been using the Snapdragon GameCommand launcher.
Do you know any alternative?
I didn't really like the Xperia Play launcher that much, so what I did was dedicate a screen of my home to games. Emulators in one folder, games the next, PSone titles the very next, etc. A lot simpler than the swipe through launcher imo.

How? I get "This app is incompatible with your Verizon Sony Ericsson R800x."
I mean, I can't imagine there are differences for app compatability accross versions of the xperia play....

every game crashes (ICS Final (v3))

hey guys,
I've flashed my phone with the ics final v3 from user markphyton. And any game crashed. GTA III or Call of Duty Black Ops Zombies. Why doesn't start it? I want to play it .__.
how can I play these games with the rom?
Phone: Xperia Play (R800i) 4.0.4
It's generally accepted that ICS doesn't handle games very well on the Xplay and even custom roms struggle somewhat.
Task killing may give you enough free RAM to run those games, perhaps create a small virtual ram swap file (there are scripts and apps) on your sd card. A gentle overclock may also help.
Or you could just downgrade to GB

Just make sure you're on the recommended baseband for the Play which is 64.

Do you use any apps like Android tuner or Root Control?, (chainfire 3d?)
Not enough RAM, you should try to restart your phone and kill unwanted apps before play.
