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. I'll have to look into it. Maybe a fresh install/wipe is in line.

Exact same for me on metal slug 3

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.

That is your problem.Android ports are garbage mostly.Emulators run same games million times smoother,not to mention its free.

I still haven't experienced any of these claims....lol

This, you just have to find the right files for them to operate. I have metal slug 3 and metal slug x on my phone using an emulator and it works just fine.

Which emulator are you using, and where do you get the roms? You can PM me when you get to this. I've been searching for a good emulator, and also been looking for a good place to get roms.

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...

Asphalt 7 +1

For a Racing Simulator type game Real Racing 2, for an Arcade racing game Asphalt 7. I can't think of any other decent racing games.

Not played it but heard Riptide GP is good, it's on motorboats though

About a month or so just before I got my Nexus.....I was watching a bunch of youtube vids of unboxing and reviews on the N7. I cam across one that was from a game developer I believe. There were demoing a cool Tegra 3 game that looked like a awesome version of mario cart. I do not see it on the play store yet at all.
Does anyone know or recall seeing this game ad or demo? I do not recall the name of the game.

Nope...thats not the one I saw. The one I saw as a demo on the N7 review in youtube was very close to a mario cart layout. You would think it was the new version as it played just like mario cart did......same kind of tracks and had the little boost things on the track and I think it had the heat seeking missiles like mario cart. The graphics were really nice and the game played well from the demo.

Beach Buggy Blitz isn't even really a racing game since you can't place against the other drivers. Its more of a Temple Run style game where you try to get as far as you can. Got boring for me after 5 runs. It does look pretty though.
I like Asphalt 7, especially now that it works while away from wifi after the last update.

Need for Speed Shift is grandpa old. Asphalt 7:Heat & Need for Speed:Hot Pursuit are "Hands down" the best racing games currently out there. Read the reviews.

I like Real Racing 2 since it's less "arcade" like.

It's because of the screen resolution. Are you on a ROM other than stock, if you are just turn on "full screen" to hide your navigation/status bar you can then download the data. If not you could always install it on a different device and transfer the data file to your N7 then launch the game with wifi turned off the first time.

Best 3D Games for the Sprint Samsung Galaxy SIII

Hey I wanted to post this because I'm kind of getting bored with the 3D games I got. I have Front Line Commando, Blood and Glory, Eternity Warriors, Six Guns, Modern Combat 4 - Zero Hour, Dead Trigger, Dead Space, and Mass Effect. Any other ideas? I just want some new games and I wanna get the most out of my SIII by playing these high graphic games. Thanks for your help.

For some reason these gfx intensive games run kinda sluggish on my s3. Game like GTA and NBA JAM ran smoother s2 than my s3.

I'd say your running a Rom or kernel that's not too great.
I'm on cleanbean ma6 with anthrax and I've yet to see a single graphical stutter.
I play shadowgun dead zone all day and I use cf 3d to enable the tegra 4 graphics and it's smooth af
My phone out benchmarks most tegra 4 devices by about 30% so, there shouldn't be sluggishness to your games
The way I'm setup, I have a faster 2d and 3d gpu, way faster memory, and quadrant doesn't display this but a far faster cpu also in comparison to the tf prime.
I've never seen a tegra 4 pull 330 on linpack

[Q]Gangstar vegas

I watched a video of gamplay but on note 2 and S3 runs only on high graphics there is no very high like in nexus 4 and xperia z and other devices like s4 and htc one. Are the note 2 and S3 out of dated, and is the MALI-400MP so bad it cant run this game which graphic is simillar to GTA Vice City on the maximum like the other devices? I dont play alot of games but this is stupid those devices are 6-7 months old and they are out dated or this is only made by gameloft cuz they sux in optimising there games for the smartphones with exynos processors. What is your opinion?

*Gameloft logic* no one can understand it
btw note 2 can handle the game better than most of the devices including Nexus 4 and XZ

My mistake Snapdragon S4 cant run it on Very High too (adreno 320) So it looks like gameloft failed again like asphalt 7 and also not optimising games for tegra 3.

Tried To Run This Game On Captivate
I have tried to run this game on captivate on stock rom, it was running on it with low graphics(but Lagging), but it was playable. Is there any way to run it without lag. by installing some custom rom or anything

Gangstar Vegas suks...
I was so disappointed by the graphics, it looks hideous on my note 2 even with edge enhancement and color correction(via perseus kernel)...The draw distance is terrible as in trees and houses just pop up within a really short radius,The textures suck bad,this is more noticeable because the character model is really good(with edge enhancement),The size is crazy for the quality of graphics
Basically don't waste your space,money or bandwidth for this game until someone or gameloft(motherfuks) fix this nonsense of a game...

The game was just downloading and reached 800MB and by seeing your comment I feel like stopping and deleting the game..because I dont want to waste all that space for a game not being good(just on note 2)
Gameloft so disappointing nowadays..Note 2 has 2GB RAM+1.6Ghz qaud-core+Mali 400MP and runs on 4.1.2 so how comes they provide better quality to phones like nexus 4 which has only 1GB RAM and is slower than note 2 in every aspect
Hating Gameloft for their useless and unpleasant policies in supporting devices

GTA Vice City have better graphics and run with 60 FPs on maximum graphics, maximum resolution 100% draw distance. So gameloft must optimise their games first and then to put them in the playstore.

To play this game without lag on gs3 i9300 i installed cm10.1 and there was no lag at all it was like gta vc but i hate the controls of gangstar vegas

Instalk cm10.1 and iverclock if kernel supports it wont lag
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app

Not sure what you saw & what device it was on but the graphics in Vegas are MUCH better than any ofbthe GTAs including the newest San Andreas. Its make GTA look very dated. Though even on my HTC One M7 the draw distances are horrible & things just pop up as stated. Its obviously a coding problem because its the same weather on very high or medium graphics. So its just poor all the time. If it was the device being pushed to hard lowering the graphics would improve things it does not. But as long as your not in a vehicle moving fast its butter Smooth even on very high on the M7. But again its no where close to the GTA games the textures, models, & lighting are significantly better in the Gangstar game. I own both & play both.

Galaxy Nexus Gaming Capabilities

Hi. I recently bought a Galaxy Nexus off of Ebay, because my old phone broke. It was only $50, and I saw it as a great deal.
I'm curious about how it will be able to handle today's games, specifically:
-Dead Trigger 2
-Asphalt 8: Airborne
-Modern Combat 4 or 5
-Call of Duty Black Ops Zombies
-Riptide GP2
-Grand Theft Auto San Andreas
-Mortal Kombat X
If you have any first-hand experiences or predictions on how smooth the games will run, please post them below. Thanks

Real Racing 3 running really nice and smooth on latest stable CM9 with cmplus kernel, and overclocked to 1420ghz runs even better, and dont heat up like CM11.
On CM11 , Real Racing 3 runs very laggy!

From that game list I tried Modern Combat 4 and 5 and Riptide GP 2. Modern Combat 4 runs at a decent framerate with occasionally hiccups but rarely and Riptide GP 2 runs smooth. I tried Modern Combat 5 but the graphics where somehow downgraded ans it looked a bit awful. It was running pretty good with hiccups for a bit and laggy in intensive scenes. Im running Lollipop 5.1 overclocked at 1.5Ghz but sometimes it overheats around the camera. Might be the software too but not sure. I think GNex is a great device even though its pretty old
