[Q] Games on Zenfone 2 (compatibility) - ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I created this thread so that people can post which games don't work on ZenFone 2, some games don't work because of x86 architecture. Does anyone know of any games that don't work?

To be honest, all of the games and apps I have tried have worked without a problem. Even the 3D games like Modern Combat, Nova, Driver, etc.

Yes most of the games do work, I have nova and driver and they play flawlessly. I want to try Ravensword Shadowland but don't know if to buy it because it said the last time it was updated was in 2013. So not sure if it will work.

Pirates (Assassin's Creed) works fine until you go to hunt a whale. Then it freezes... No other problems...

Don't play many games, but I do know hearthstone and xcom work perfectly.

i have chaos ring omega and it doesnt work, hack/cheat tools such as SB Gamehacker and other tools as such doesnt work too, but that could be due to Lollipop.
btw i have chaos ring 3 and it works perfectly

I don't know but, when I run apk with no x86 libs, they run with no problem, because x86 can run the armeabi and armv7 libs. If your game you play isn't running, I think that is compability os problem.

How do i run the apk without x86 libs?

Do you also have serious stutters in the game Terminator GENISYS revolution ?
Other games like NFS Most Wanted, Hitman Sniper, Relix RUN, NOVA 3 are working better since the last updates.
I am speaking about 550ML version.

That wont work on any device as the requirements are quite high even nexus 9 is unable to play them smoothly..also the app is in beta stage so..

I think he means that apps that aren't directly compiled against x86 will still work because Intel has collaborated closely with Google on getting x86 to run everything via Houdini ARM emulator. I don't think he meant you can strip apps of x86 libs to get them to run, which was your understanding, correct?

[Q]tegra 3

Hi
All games in Markt will work in tegra 3 processor?
What games did not?and why?
Thanks
The most gameloft-games won't work at the moment cause they've not been optimized yet (i think gameloft just has to unlock them for the devices since they also don't work on the one s). This will be fixed in the next few days/weeks

A few games?
I personally tested BackStab, N.O.V.A 2 and Modern Combat 3 which are made by gameloft. At the moment you can download the app, but when the app wants to download the whole game it says that your device is not supported (yet)

Tiger Arcade (MAME) on Nexus 7

Anyone managed to get Tiger Arcade (Tiger MAME) working on a Nexus 7? It works fine on my HOX, so doubt it's a Tegra 3 thing.
Maybe Jelly Bean is the issue?
Cheers

Because although MAME4Droid is awesome, it doesn't play all the same stuff that Tiger does.
For example, it's not very good with CPS3 stuff like Street fighter III Third Strike.

I didn't know Tiger played CPS3 stuff!
Might have to look into it if Tiger starts working on JellyBean!
Although I just saw this on the Mame4Droid site!
MAME4droid Reloaded 1.1.1. Upgraded to MAME 0.139u1 to fix savestate problems with drivers using OKI audio. Enabled SH2 core, now works CPS3. Added speed hacks to make playable same games, accessible through MAME menu, pressing coin+start in game. Added force pixel aspect option. Some bug fixes.

Yeah, MAME4Droid can play CPS3 games, but it's a lot slower than Tiger. Guess it's because Tiger is based on a newer MAME version. (0.146?)
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda premium
Tiger is supposed to be really good, hopefully it will get a jb update. The program loads fine it just does nothing when you click a ROM.
FWIW, MAME4Droid is playing nicely now with CPS3. I used the speed hacks mentioned above.

Ok, I downloaded Mame4droid, and I am having an issue getting my ROM's to load. Anyone got any advice?

both mame4droid and mame4droid reloaded use very specific mame rom sets, mame4droid 0.37b5 and reloaded 0.139 but it also works with .134 .144 mmmm .146.. xD try all of them, I've been able to play almost all rooms I like BUT none of SFIII I just cant find the right roms...

Just follow the instructions for SFIII as if you were using a desktop version of MAME. There's a few tutorials out there on how to obtain the necessary files.
However, even when it's working I still can only get it up to about 90% normal speed with all of the speed hacks. Basically it's unusable if I want to challenge a few friends because the low framerate messes with the inputs. I wish Capcom would take notice and just release an official port, especially now that Ouya is getting a lot of attention.
Tiger arcade is not mame. Its a port of fba. And its optimized for speed. Instead of accuracy like mame.

PPSSPP update 0.9.5

get ppsspp 0.9.5 all the games are working now I been playing patapon 3
All the games aren't working, still needs some work.
Unless you have some special settings I don't know about, I've tried everything.
I think we should share the best settings for Shield here or in another topic.

RetroArch and Firetv controller stick support

I’ve installed the google play version and it works ok but I cannot seem to use the control stick in the games. There is also a development version of the application on the dev’s site but with that version I cannot seem to even use the controller. I can however see a lot more cores added. Has anyone gotten any success by using the controllers. I like retroarch mainly because all the cores and games are in a single neat place. The only issue I’m having now is the usage of the control stick.
Hopefully they'll have the Retroarch update out soon.
It better have fixed the control issues.

I made a combined version and the controller stick works with mame 2014 only.
I took the assets folder from the latest version and put it in the google play verison. you have to sign the apk. i used one click signer. prior to the sign. I had zipped up so its a readable archive. So far it works perfectly fine. The sound on sega 16 bit games is also fixed with the additional emulators but the stick does not work. I guess the sitck support is based on the emulators maybe.
also if anyone would need to know, the bose lifestyle has a game mode that reduces delay incase anyone faces that.

OpenGL (not OpenGL ES) Games - working and not working

I've been trying out a few games on the Pixel C and have found a lot of issues, specifically with games using full OpenGL as opposed to OpenGL ES.
So far, I found the following:
Trine 2 Doesn't even start, the developers tell me the Pixel C is not supported but they can't mark it as such on the play store for some reason.
The Talos Principle Works, but most of the effects break the rendering, so it will only run with basic visuals.
Anyone else have any to add?
All the games I have tried work fine. The only exception was Hitman Sniper. That game worked fine before they did a Christmas update, now I have graphics problems.
The games I have played and worked are: This War of Mine, Pac Man 256, Horizon Chase and Geometry Wars.

I believe all these are OpenGL ES games as they all have an IOS port. I'm specifically looking for full OpenGL games that have been written specifically for, or ported from PC and console, to Tegra K1 & X1 devices e.g Pixel C, Shield tablet & Shield AndroidTV.
Thanks for the input.

are you sure that full opengl games are supported by google on the pixel c and not only by shield devices?
Maybe it’s like on the n9.

I'm not sure at all as Google have not made it clear. This is what I'm trying to determine.
If Google are aiming the Pixel C at productivity users, supporting Desktop OpenGL is a good way to help developers port their software.

lol. Tegra 4 is incompatible with OpenGL. So, HL2 on tegra 4, or emulation of tegra 4, is NO OPENGL GAME. You can stop gltools advertising.
tegra 4 was 3 years ago, best to use nvidia tv or the upcoming[hopefully] shield x1.
I know this thread is pretty old but I have had the same issue with Hitman Sniper, and also Unpossible runs but none of the menus will display.
tons of games crash on startup that im pretty sure dont even use opengl. i wish i could remember which ones but it was a good chunk of them. if i find them ill come back here.

Hello, I installed DIII4A (DOOM3) and QIII4A on my pixel C and they worked well. I think the apps for the shield don't work on pixel C.

Sorry for the thread necro. I'm on AICP Pie and when I go into the play store for D3 BFG edition it says 'your device is not compatible' even though we've got an X1 chipset. What gives?
I installed DIII4A manually not from play store.
