Chainfire 3d - Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Anyone try this yet? We can run tegra and adreno specific games with plugins. I can get it to install the driver but can not seem to get plugins to install. Night mode works fine.

No problems for me. Riptide GP, Fruit Ninja THD, and Samurai II:Vengeance all work fine. Gonna try out Bruce Lee after I finish downloading the data.

How did you get the market to work. Couldn't install plugins from my sd it was so full it was locking up used an empty one and they installed quickly.

I bought the Pro version, which lets you fix the market to shoe the Tegra2 specific games. Considering I'm getting a Xoom soon, I just bought some of the games.

When I first used the Chainfire 3D drivers was with my HTC HD2 with Windows Mobile! I was a miracle to make SenseUI work better... but I never play games. Under Android (since I still never play games, but I also dont have WinMo or SenseUI) is there actually any advantage to use this driver??

Probably not just games

I'd like to know how to do the market fix as well. I paid the $4 for the pro app and did the fix. Still can't find the games listed above.
I saw that someone said to download sgs tools and do that market fix. Still can't find those games. Maybe cuz I have a themed market?
I'd like to know how I can put this chainfire 3d to use.

I appreciate the work that has gone into chainfire 3d. But please dont buy THD games for use with chainfire. Devs will continue to make tegra only games if they sell well.

[GAME] Dungeon Hunter 2 - Gameloft (Atrix 4G)

It is unfortunate that some of the better Gameloft games are not yet available for the Atrix. I have been messing around with the APKs for other devices and managed to get Dungeon Hunter 2 working on my Atrix 4G. I decided to share this with those of you that want to give this a try. Note that the videos don't play since they haven't been converted into a device-supported format, but the game is full screen and all controls seem to be functional.
The Process:
Take the HTC Sensation v1.0.0 APK, extract it with the APK Manager and edit the data.txt in the \res\raw folder to point to the LG P970 PVR textures data download:
HTML:
http://dl.gameloft.com/hdplus/android/DH2/LG_P970/ML/0.0.3/DungeonHunter2_LG_P970_Ver003_PVRT.zip
Then, edit the gi_settings.xml in the same folder to specify PVR textures for the Atrix instead of DXT. Zip the APK back up, sign it with APK Manager.
That should do it. Install and let the data download.
well, i'm pretty sure this is illegal to post.
Even if this falls in the non-legal side of the wheel, the point behind it is quite clear. There are a lot of apps that only require a small tweak to have them working on the android system.

Yes. Bad move on gameloft not bringing those games to atrix.
Sent from my MB860 using XDA Premium App
I know your trying to help but posting apps that cost money is illegal here and can get you in trouble so i suggest you to remove it. I hope you understand and I appreciate your work but next time, mod a game that is free or something.
Download removed. But I've left the instructions for those that want to purchase the HTC Sensation version and modify it.

[Q] Anyway to play Kairosoft games on Legend?

Can't find kairosoft games on Legend market except for gamedevstory which i had it long ago already.
Is it possible to get grand prix, hotspring and more kairosoft games on my legend?
I played hotspring story before. Just check its not in the market even with market enabler. I guess you need to download it from somewhere else.

Use the web Android Market to determine why it isn't available. When you select the device to install to, it will tell you specifically why it isn't available.

Bought it for my touchpad, works flawlessly. Can't get it to work on SGSII-ATT - when starting new game, freezes on about 2%.
Anyone else have this issue?
Ok, looks like I had the wrong cache.
Download this cache: http://www.multiupload.com/G58745X0U5
Put into /sdcard/Android/data/
Install chainfire3d
Install chainfire3d driver
Check "unroll textures" in chainfire3d
Play game without any lag
EDIT: The above is not relevant. You don't need chainfire to run this game with no lag, I just had some freak glitch in the beginning.
Works fine for me
works good for me too. i dont even need chainfire
Working good here, no chainfire as well.
OP, thx for bringing this to my attention as well.
How are you getting it? I don't see it. Do I need to get shady

Works great here with no chainfire needed.
That's weird.. working here. I am running completely stock though, fwiw.
Got the apk off ipmart and post-500mb-data download, everything works great!
On a side note, this is really grand! A proper game port on something so thin... Today's tech really amazes me thinking 2-3 years back.
Can someone give an HONEST comparison of gta3 vs gamelofts gangstar games?

This file will enable all 2d lighting effects (street lights, stop lights, car brake lights, neon signs, etc).
Installation: replace file in sdcard/android/data/com.rockstar.gta3/files/GTA3/
Have fun.
Game runs for 30 seconds before crashing, bummer

4pda.ru. Basically Russian XDA.
What this is is just the .set file from the tegra2 game data build. I don't know why they lumped the SGS2 with all the low-end phones, because it's not lagging at all even with 2dfx on.

Zen pinball thd

Im trying to download zen pinball thd to my phone but it says my device is not compatible. I thought when I purchased chainfire 3d it would solve this problem. Can anybody tell me what I did wrong? Or does chainfire have limitations on what it allows u to run?

Simply buying Chainfire will not do anything. You'll want to configure it, and that should solve whatever problem you are having. That's if you haven't configured it anyways.
I configured it for pinball hd and shadowgun (before the market changed it so u can buy it on more devices.) However when i go to the market place now it won't even let me purchase it. It says device is not compatible. So i can't configure it at all. There was an option on the settings to do the market fix but i don't know how i can purchase the game first then configure. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

[MOD] (NEW/UPDATED+Moga) Add even more apps to play store + list of working apps

I just wanted to start a topic on tegra 3 and other games that work on the galaxy S4. Last night I did a little testing with a few Tegra games on the S4 that are not in the play store on the device that worked.
(Update) To find almost all games in Play Store follow thes 8 steps Carefully.
(I AM NOT RESPONSABLE IF YOU MAKE A MISTAKE OR MESS YOUR PHONE UP. TAKE YOUR TIME)
1. Download this file. (Its used for another fix but helps us also
http://www.4shared.com/zip/66jo-mIz/Multi_DPI_Play_Store_416_for_J.html
2. Move zip file to internal SD Card
3. Reboot into revovery and flash Multi DPI Play store.zip with CWM or whatever flashing tool you use besides the stock then reboot.
4. Download ES File Explorer.
5. Hit menu and then "Root Explorer"
6. Hit "Mount R/W" (I just mount all 4 and press ok)
7. Now go back to main screen and tap the top bar and pick "Device" (so yoyur not searching the Sd the actual "Device" partition for system files.)
8. Look at the folders displayed below and tap the one that says "System"
9. Tap/Open the "build.prop" file with a text editor of your choice.
10. Change the line that says:
(ORIGINAL)
ro.product.device=..............
(The ... stands for whatever your device is. Its different for every one so I just put .... as an example)
(NEW/CHANGE TO **Only use one of these and dont copy whats in brackets**)
ro.product.device=softwin (Fakes JXD S7300b)(Recommended)
ro.product.device=olympus (Fakes Motorola Atrix)
ro.product.device=d2att (Fakes Samsung Galaxy S3 on att)
ro.product.device=grouper (Fakes Nexus 7 Tablet)
ro.product.device=tf300t (Fakes Asus Transformer Pad)
ro.product.device=GT-P7500 (Fakes Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1)
ro.product.device=maguro (Fakes Samsung Galaxy Nexus)
ro.product.device=tf201 (Fakes Asus Transformer Prime)
(Make sure you change what comes after the equals sign to "softwin/olympus/d2att/etc" no spaces)
11. Save, restart your phone.
12. Go to Aplication Manager in your settings. Clear data for Google Play Store.
FINALLY check the Play Store for a ton of new apps. Give it a few minutes to add the new apps well your searching. Takes a few minutes to see the changes and new apps!!!!!!!!!
ENJOY AND REPORT BACK IF THIS HELPS
So far ive found out that:
The Dark Knight Rises = Workes perfect so far. Great graphics.
(New) Dead Trigger = Working good no issues ive notice. Still trying it out but seems really good and fast loading.
(New) Gangstar Rio = Running perfect.
(New) Samurai II Vengeance = Working good, no issues as of yet.
(New) N.O.V.A 3 = Runs amazing havent had any issues.
(New) Wild Blood = Works fine. No issues at all.
(New)The Amazing Spider-Man = Working good. To bad drawing distance wasnt increased for the game seeing as the s4 has so much ram
(New) Rayman Jungle Run = Works great no issues. Looks nice on the S4.
Real Boxing = WORKING FOR THE FIRST TIME :~)
9mm = NOT WORKING. Non compatible message. Still trying different versions.
NBA Jam = NOT WORKING.
Wanted to add to the list Tegra games that can be bought in the app store (just for reference):
Riptide GP = Works great. Max out graphics settings in options for water splashed on screen, better waves and all around better graphics.
I know theres more in the Play Store just cant remember right this second.
Anyone who has tested Tegra games not purchasable and purchasable in the Play Store feel free to add to the list or do your own testing with different app Could be useful later on, obv the S4 can handle these games.

Refer to this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2283870
And from what I've experience, PS3 controller doesn't work that well (I only tested it using Bluetooth). You can use the d-pad, but the buttons on the right and the joysticks don't work too well.
Buy a Moga controller online it is compatible with most games. Download the Moga app to ger an idea of what games are compatible. Basically all the games ive been testing have been updated to work wirh the Moga controller. Looks like an xbox controller with a mount for yoyr cell phone atached.
(New) Nova 3 works great also on the S4

lol riiighhhtt, if you say so...
anyways there is an app called ChainFire 3D. it requires root to work and it works by adding in the NVIDIA drivers, so tegra exclusive games can be played. It also has a PlayStore fix, but i don't know if its been tested on the S4. maybe thats something you wanna look into?
I know about Chainfire 3d. Have all ready been looking if it can help.
