I guess I will be the first person to talk about Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas on Huawei Ascend P6.
My phone is U06, B111 international with its own kernel.
I downloaded 1.03 data but had to use 1.02 APK to prevent black screen/freezes.
Now here's the review:
The game actually works, but in a sense that a Huawei Ascend P6 can run it and there were no lags or whatsoever. The FPS was around 20 or so. What I didn't like was that there were not any player models. I couldn't see CJ or Big Smoke or the Ballas, just the buildings, cars, roads, weather, everything else. The cutscenes were also laggy as hell, like 1 frame per 15 seconds. Thank God for the skip button! What made me uninstall the game, was spontaneous system restarts. Whenever I was playing, the phone restarted itself. Of course, Huawei phones aren't supported for this game, so all problems are justified with this factor.
So to anybody who is looking to play the big game on this device, DON'T. Wait for further updates or just give up on it. Thank you for reading this!
This game runs surprisingly well for me (better than GTA II) but I am also not seeing any player models. I hope they will fix that but probably not because the GPU in our phone isn't very popular. :'(
same problem
same problem on my Ascend Mate...
I tried everything, looked everywhere.. Can't make to work it.. Please.. Send me in private msg where and how... Thnx
Its affected by data that you downloaded.I never had problems with player models,cars,but yea i had to tweak out the settings for best performance thats only "problem" that i had so far.

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.
Update: Its out!!!

According to Rockstar Newswire, GTA San Andreas is coming this December to mobile handsets. Includes game controller support. Im assuming that it is very sure the Nvidia Shield will be compatible with this!

It's gonna be awesome.
WOW thats really great! GTA SA ftw!
It says it's out, but not compatible with the Shield
http://www.amazon.com/Grand-Theft-Auto-San-Andreas/dp/B00HCU7OCI
i`m downloading it right now through Google Play so i assume it seems to be compatible but some reviews complain about DRM-Problems (game doesn´t start because of no purchase confirmation?!). Hope this will be patched immediatly.
Update: Can confirm its not working because of DRM Issues. Rockstar Games, why?

There are 2 versions of the game aviable at the moment.
The first not working because of DRM and the other one
force close when you start the app on a lot of devices.
I`m trying to install the second one right now.
I think those two versions are for different regions because the game had to be edited for certain countries to get a lower age rating. I´ve downloaded the english version because the other one has a german description ( german version is slightly censored).

Yes youre right. One version is for Germany. But I can`t play both of them.
The International App - DRM Error.
The German App - Force Close behind Social Club Screen.
I hope Rockstar fix this bugs faster than Gameloft fixes Gangstar Vegas -.-
Edit: The third Update of San Andreas is out now. It's great on our Nvidia Shield! Play it now!
Yeah its now playable. But i noticed that in rare cases the game crashes back to homescreen. Also it has some graphical glitches that occur for 1-2 seconds. And there are framedrops. Should be patched out.
Do you think that Tegra Chipsets aren´t really optimised for games?
After the update. For me the only problem is I cant' manual aim.
Do you guys know how to free aim with a gun?
At the moment it is not possible to trigger manual aim via a button. But you can aim manually if you shoot and there is no target in sight and a aim cross appears. But thats dumb because 1) you can´t aim without shooting ( a lot of ammo is needed) and 2) when a target appears CJ will shoot automatically at this target. Really dumb.
Or the game tends to crash when you are doing a rampage and you are on a roof of a building or climb onto something or access buildings when wanted. Be sure to save often at home or press R3 twice when in a taxi cab/ police car / fire truck or some else special car (simple quick save).
wow
would you believe you can crank this up to max settings and get 30fps+ all the time!!!

How do you play gta on your Android
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.

Other games also starting will lag.
you can try and make a factory reset and earase internal storage. Maybe there was a problem or something.
Gets your device hot when you start the game?
How about a benchmark program? Did you make a test and compare to other results on youtube e.g.
Maybe some hardware error or sth. like that.

i tested with AnTuTu benchmark v6.1.4 and i get 53410, how about yours?
Ah just saw ur pn and replied to you. With antutu i got 47514. So from this side it looks okay. Hardware have no issues.
But then I have no idea what could be the problem on your device. My other games are running smoothly, only vainglory is a little laggy.
I am sorry man, I have no other ideas to help you.
Has anyone of you tried playin Asphalt 8?

I haven't played Asphalt yet, but I play Real Racing 3. This app is running very smoothly without any issues.
You can try this one and reply what happens.

Asphalt 8 lags like hell even with performance mode on
its asphalt 8 not the device it is rather optimised and lags on most devices, source from YouTube videos of others playing it on some high end devices.
Possibly the device is not switching to the 2.0ghz a53 part of the octocore?
Question, how well does it run world of tanks blitz?
Hi All,
Is anyone who is on OOS 3.2.6 as of now, please confirm if they are also experiencing game lags? Games like MC5 is performing like it did with old OnePlus One. Even game like C-Ops on which i used to get consistent 60+ fps is not stuttering at barely 25-30 fps. Just want to confirm that it's the app or a universal issue with this update.
I do not play that graphics intensive games, but the games i play is smooth like butter
3.2.7 literally came out just now. Oneplus fixed it.
I have only noticed it in Sky Force Reloaded. Let's hope 3.2.7 takes care of it.
Thanks! Will check and test it. Appreciate the response.
I have noticed it in both the FPS i play, MC5 and C-Ops. Will flash 3.2.7 and will check if it's fixed or not.
I have a big issue with that modern combat 5. After playing the first campaign mission, the game just freezes at the screen where I'm rewarded with an elite pack, and have to tap on the pack to open it.
When I do so, nothing happens and the game just hangs indefinitely. I've tried to get past/avoid that screen but to no avail. I've attached a screenshot below.
It's really exasperating being stuck on that first mission. Can anyone offer me a solution? ðŸ‘
I must say the MC5 has gone **** from being an awesome game. it was better when it was a paid app. now it's all full of ****ty ads everytime you even press back or select an option. But i love it anyways
I'm facinf an issue with 2 games in stock 3.2.8 , asphalt dealing with frames drops/slutters, and during modern combat the cores go crazy to MAX and the phone becoming hot to 446-48C. is this normal?
Welcome to Android gaming bruh! Here it laggs and there it thermals your device, it's really hard to find a balance.
