Hey guys, is there a way to make Gameloft games, like NOVA 2 and Asphalt 6 work on GS2? I'm just first turned on my new phone, entered the market thinking that I would play high end games I couldn't in my Xperia x10, and I discover that Gameloft games aren't there
You can try using Stock Build.prop to maximise market content.. If there's still stuff missing Market Enabler (free in app store) will let you change country/carrier. If it's Tegra2 games you're after Chainfire3d can duplicate that.

But will this allow me to get games? Does it bypass the market restriction? I ask this because I'm not in favor of pirating games...
Can you teach me how to do those things?
Download Chainfire3d from the market, the search for Nvidia drivers for Chainfire on google, copy them to your phone. install, select the Tegra driver (easy enough to find instructions on Google), then search nova 2 on marketplace, if it allows you to buy and install then you're all good.
Asphalt 6 and nova2 work without the need for chainfire.. you just need to dl them from gamelofts own store.. just google gameloft and you should find them.

Use samsung games hub or gamesloft websight as said above.
Can't it be the market version? You know, I love the easy updates, etc...
I got nova 2 hd from the market, no problems. I am in the uk though, so you may have to use market enabler if it's not showing up.

don't worry about the updates. all gameloft hd games have builtin in-app update functions and regularly check for newer versions.
Issues I have with Gameloft games is.
this is the biggest, load times especially if you pause them and go to homescreen to check a text message or something, then immediately hold down the middle button to return to the game, they take forever to start up again, upto a minute, why on earth is this, on my old Iphone they would resume instantly. This phone is miles better spec inst it?
Also hardly any of them use the gyroscope and when they do its just not smooth enough compared yet again to a year old clunky fruity machine
just don't understand why
Yes, with the demo version I got, NOVA 2 takes a very long time to load...
Trying to set up the Chainfire3d thing to download the games through the market. I preffer it that way... having all apps on one place feels better.

Even after I put the market to the UK Version, installed Chainfire 3D and enabled nVidia Plugin I can't find the app on my phone and neither am I allowed to buy it from the desktops's browser ¬¬
But isn't it just a demo?

Asphalt 6 is free via the "Samsung Apps" on your phone. I had tried versions via the market and they stuttered. The one via the Samsung Apps is not only free (always liked that price) but more importantly runs sweetly.

Can´t see any games for SGS2 on S-Apps, maybe there is a country lock?

There is no where on it that says it is a demo.
To be honest, I am not very good at this type of game and got it for my son to play with. I downloaded it to compare it to the market version.

No EA games are showing in the market for me at all. Anyone else have this problem or a fix?

Not showing for me too!
Yeah I believe they went the Gameloft route and have their own market. So basically you can only get them off of EA's website.
Ah, well that's convenient Guess I'll look for the site, find what I want, figure out how to pay, download it, load it to the phone and install it.... much better then going to the market and tapping buy......
I have been trying to get tintin to work on my View for the past week (which is not available for this device through the market) without any luck. I went to gameloft through the "100% HD Games" APP that comes with new HTC View 4G and saw TinTin HD available for this tablet. I bought it for $4.99 hoping it would finally work.
After paying with PayPal it took me to a page with the Download Link. I clicked on the link and got "Page Not Found". i think i have wasted my $4.99 and cant even figure out a way to download the +1 App for free (Promo going on NOW on Gameloft Games 1-22-11). Contacted GameLoft will update on what they say.
Just wanted to warn everyone so that no one else makes this mistake.
I never trust crapware like that! I use Go Launcher EX, which per my personal request, is now compatible with Tablets. Just go into the app drawer, press menu, hide app, then click the apps you don't want to see, such as stupid crapware!

Well gameloft isn't really crapware. Bloatware possibly but def not crapware. They put out very quality stuff. I'm sure it wasn't a scam or anything like that. Im sure it was a glitch in the system and gameloft will quickly resolve it. Gameloft has very good customer service.
Ok, So as many people have noticed, it's possible to install chainfire if you are running cm7. (Stock nook rom bootloops when you try to install, so if you don't know what "cm7" is, or "stock nook rom" don't even think about installing chainfire 3d unless you are a masochist.)
This thread is dedicated to what games you have been able to run on the NT with chainfire installed, and a quick mention of what settings you used to get it to work.
I've so far only downloaded and installed TegraZone, and got it to forward me to the market download pages. (not yet had the time to download anything) Though I am looking forward to playing around with it.
I will be compiling a list of games and what settings were successful here as people list them.
Soulcraft THD runs with reduce texture quality and the nvidia plugin. It lags when some spawns load, but this doesn't seem to prevent playing.
Street Fighter IV runs with Qualcomm plugin.
Ive got Chainfire3D set up but how exactly (and where exactly) does one obtain the nvidia drivers?
Sent from my CM7 Nook Tablet
Nevermind i found em and installed but afterwards i still cant run any of the games. I chose the nvdia driver under opengl and clicked fix market but still says its uncompatible with device. Itll load the market page from the tegra app but then it says its uncompatable
Sent from my CM7 Nook Tablet
After I installed the chainfire plugins I cleared the data on the market app and rebooted. I used fix market of course and the market no longer shows me the incompatible with this app message.
Trying to get princess punt thd working but so far no luck at all. Thinking I'll be skipping it and moving to the next game

Did it, still didnt work. Sill not compatable

Hmm, Other things I have setup in my settings might make a difference. In the chainfire menu, I've got the nvidia driver setup under default for all apps, and setup as well under per app for the tegra app store. Try making those changes, clear your market data again and reboot (and refix the market)

Hmm. When I first installed the tegra app, I couldn't install from the market. (was trying to install soulcraft) I searched a bit, and found an apk online to download. it installed easy enough via es file explorer, but wouldn't run. I uninstalled the chainfire driver, and reinstalled it with the box checked for the beta egl driver. I then set the nvidia plugin under defaults with chainfire and cleared the market data. (I think this is also where I fixed permissions with rom manager for good measure). after rebooting and setting up chainfire for tegra app to use the nvidia plugin (and only nvidia plugin) for good measure, I also clicked on fix market again for good measure, I tried soulcraft and it still wouldn't run. I went into the tegra app and looked up soulfire. It went to the market download page and the update button was available. I clicked update. the app redownloaded and updated. Now it loads, and I notice that all the thd apps are showing me a download option in the market now.
Somewhere in all this the market started working with the tegra apps. Searches now will show up THD apps and downloads work fine too. I can't think of any other actions i took in trying to get them to load. Perhaps it was the fix permissions that tweaked things. not certain if it was the using the market to update soulfire but I don't see how that could be. I just assumed it was the clearing market data that did it. It might also be the beta egl driver that did it.
Lol ill try that soon when i have the time. Yu really want these tegra games dont you? And are they actually running smooth on the tab?

I've noticed a lot of games seem to come out first for the tegra based devices take soulcraft for instance. I read somewhere it's coming out for all devices soon, but the first release was tegra. When it comes to gaming, I'd rather not wait for several months to play a game if I don't have to.
As for running smooth, so far yes and no. I'm finding that soulcraft plays quite smoothly for the most part. However there are points where it freezes up for like 20 seconds while new creatures are loading. this hasn't negatively impacted gameplay but it's annoying. Otherwise it's played as smoothly as if it was meant for the NT. Still havn't been able to tweak princess punt to work, so I will move onto the next game I see later on tonight.
Ok, After tinkering with reinstalling chainfire after various rom flashes I think the key to get the market to show the tegra apps is simply to first wipe the market data. Second use the "fix market" button in chainfire.
If anyone cares Street Fighter IV runs with the help of Chainfire 3D and the Qualicomm (sp?) driver. Had to mess around a bit and watch a youtube video, it runs well but compared to other games the graphics are just ok and it can be a little choppy.
I saw that Real Racing 2 went on sale for $0.99 and I wanted to take advantage of that. Unfortunately, the Play Store seems to think the app is incompatible with my device. I'm running turl's CM9, which, by default, reports itself as an "unknown MB860". I did some research and changed build.prop to be a "motorola MB860", cleared data for Google Play Store, rebooted, and still no go. I then got out a bigger hammer (as the post I found about market incompatibilities suggested) and change it to a "samsung Nexus S". No joy. I can't imagine the game isn't actually compatible with the Atrix, is it? Any idea of how I can get this purchased and installed? Thanks.
You can purchase through logging in to your Google account through a browser on the Google play website. As for installing it I have no idea
I was annoyed by this too. Really wanted to download this game but got the incompatibility message too on cm7.

It's incompatible with stock, the game is probably only for 800x480 pix screens.

i'm sure it's compatible with stock, i used to play that game before i installed jb to my atrix.
Yeah, I also had the free version on Nottach's ROM... installed fine off of market for me. Ran laggy as hell though, what has your guys experience been with it?
I have got a new Nokia Lumia 1320 in India.
Under Nokia's campaign some games like Modern Combat 4, NOVA 3, assassins creed are free.
I download all games on Pc because it has fast internet and my mobile has slow limited internet, so I downloaded Modern Combat 4 from PC from windows phone store and transferred it to Sd card. When I go to Store> SD card> this app comes up as paid app and asks me to buy it.
Otherwise on store on phone these games come up twice once as free and once as paid. But on store on PC they appear only once as paid.
What to do? I do not have wifi so cannot download it on phone.
Not the same link for paid version and Nokia version
You can start the installation of the application on the phone and stop it when the download starts.
On you PC go to http://www.windowsphone.com and in your "Purchasse History".
Click the name of the application and you will have the corresponding XAP link.
Either that, or the fact that on 8.0 the Store is quite... crap. For me, multiple times after purchasing and trying to reinstall apps, gave the "Buy" link instead of "Install". But when you click it, it starts installing nonetheless.

you must open Web link for game on www.windowsphone.com and push Install button (and confirm additional messages) and this game (or app) be free on your account forever... your phone no need to be on internet for this.
Thanks guys for your replies. I figured out 3 different yet same way to solve this problem:
1. When Modern combat was asking me to buy on phone, I clicked on 'share' and checked the link, I did the same for free version on phone clicked the 'share' and checked the link.
I opened those links on PC and found that the free games were from US store. So I downloaded from that link and it works.
2. Fortunately my phone synced properly with windows phone store, so now "Apps from Nokia" section comes in windows store on PC too. I can get free games from there. I clicked "Install"> "get app" for all free games and they show up in my purchase history. I will actually install them when I have enough space
3. I could have gone to the Nokia website and where they talk about free games, just open the links given for games and download from there.
The paid version still shows as paid and only free version listed separately is free which in most cases is from US store, me being from India.

maybe free period is over this is 4 month old news
During this promo campaign the games like MC4, NOVA3 etc used to appear twice in store once as paid and once as free. To get the free games we had to download the free version only. But after some time (maybe 2 months) the free version has been removed, only the paid version is there. I came to know about this when I updated my phone to WP8.1 and could not get those free games. Now if I want to play MC4, NOVA3 etc. I will have to pay for them even though I had played them for free.
