Can the slide handle high end games?

Anyone tried playing the new gameloft games on this device? games like nova and asphalt 5?
I tried downloading the asphalt 5 demo off of the market place but it just says "my device is not supported" which is kinda crap..I wish there was a way for me to just play the damn thing to see how crappy it runs it.

I've been wondering that myself. I get the same thing when I try to enter in my device and I tried doing the SMS thing on their site but have yet to receive a text message.

I tried the same thing, I would imagine the slide could run it with how fast and smooth everything else is on this phone. I purchased super tumble and have been playing that lately, graphics look pretty nice in that game.

Installed the toonwarz demo, very chopy.

This is kinda odd cause the GPU benchmarks are really good. I wonder what is causing this

The n1 doesn't even run toon warz smoothly its choppy at the part when you come out of the cave it is smoother than the mytouch slide

i installed asphalt 5 but it wouldn't run, said something about not being compatible with this device.

Asphalt 3d runs very smooth on the slide, but asphalt 5 checks for device type and does not find the slide in its list so never runs.
I bet it would run just fine!

so is there any way to force it to play even though it doesn't suport it? by manually putting the files on there?

I installed ashphalt 5 on my slide and it plays fine but the game itself sucks.

Asphalt 5 would install but not play for me, said my device was not supported. U sure it was A5 and not A3?

Ok guys, I have a my touch slide and I simply love it until I got this device I was skeptical of trying a new mobile os been with windows forever, hate the iphone this os seems to be an improvement over both but cant wait for the MP7 os to arrive. Anyway I have tons of high end graphics games running flawlessly on my device including" Homerun battle 3D, Heavy Gunner,Raging Thunder 1 and 2, my fave is BackBreaker Football etc. no problems at all. the problem i have discovered is that Gameloft made the games Device specific. not that it wont run on this device the sight says its compatible but when u go to put your device type "HTC" it then only gives you one choice to select"Nexus 1" which it says is not compatible for the nexus 1. This device falls under the catagory of High end Android devices. bad thinking gameloft. anyway, checkout the games I just mentioned if u haven't already plenty of down time and break time enjoyment, and by the way all of these games i mentioned are online multiplayer compatible.

Asphalt checks the Build.prop probably, or screen resolution. I tried to install Hero of Sparta and it worked fine but didn't fit on the screen.

The MyTouch Slide is not a high end device. If you play Crysis on a computer at 800x600 with a Nvidia GT 240 you'll get a good frame rate. Play it at 1600x1200 and you'll get a bad frame rate. The same goes for the Slide, it runs at 480x320 while the Nexus runs at 800x480.
I do <3 the Slide though

works fine but sucks like the others said.
never have gotten other games to play tho, i do download them from 4shared tho cause im not paying the money for a one time use. but its downloads and doesnt go to a menu or nothing just is about to go then blacks out to home screen.
The phone it self is nice for intensive games. I mean could be greater but i was using the g1 so its a very big upgrade.

Everyone do yourself a favor and just use Gensoid or SNesoid and play full games that look good and are actually fun like Sonic, Mario, Paperboy ect. Why play crappy mobile games when you can play a full Sega or Nintendo game and just save it and load it as you please.

psx4droid

just heard about it and am rather excited. has anyone tested it on the g1? is it even playable?

yes i installed psx4droid on Cm6 on G1 i tested crash bandicoot and it works but exstremly slow, sound is also very poor
but its G1 so what do you expect.
thoughts awesome havent tested any other games yet im thinking if i disable comp cache and enable swapper on my swap partition then it may be faster...??

oh yh i have the same phone with cy6 and amon ra with death spl

in step by step detail can someone please explain the process of getting the rom to work. i tried a file from doperoms and when i putin the correct bios and clicked on the twisted metal zip it open another folder and said there was nothing in the folder. can you please guide me in this. i been so fustrated tryna figure this outfor a while now lol any help is appreciated

Don't download off dope roms unless you know how to convert their psx roms to .ISO or .BIN. I use emu paradise forums as long as the roms are in those two formats you should be fine the only problem is even with swapper or linux swap you cant get enough memory for the games. They seem to run incredably slow and it makes it unplayable unless someone can get the linux swap only to work for psx4droid so it only gives that program the memory it needs then maybe it'll play like the moto droid does with psx4droid. Anyway good luck with getting it run well.
If any progress in getting this to run smooth on G1 PM me

Sad to say it but psx4droid is just a novelty on the G1. Ive tried tekken on down to a 2d game like Suikoden. It makes no difference wat you do. Even overclocked to 700 sumtin mhz with set cpu you only can get around 5 fps.

I got it running a lil faster than 5fps I'm not sure but I keep it at default. And also I disable the sound it gives it a boost. But I will do a video on youtube tonight or tomorrow. Jus search my username androidappman and you will see the video it won't be hard to find.

ok no prooblem im up and have one more ciggerette for the night lol so ill post it but im taking back what i said on it moving faster than about 5fps but again it could have been the game cause i had chosen silent hill but i heard ace combat was pretty smooth running as well as crash bandicoot but my issue is i wanna start a dropbox like sysytem to load all the converted games for others to have easy access to. but im a do the video about basically how to convert the game into the proper file type and do so in detail. so look out for me in the morning. p.s anyone get wit me on a site like dropbox so i can sign up and start uploading away with you all.

I also have CM6, and I tried this emulator out. Extremely slow, but seems to work. Needs a lot of optimizations, as I'm sure that the G1 can certainly emulate PSX full speed. How I know this? Cause I could on my Kaiser, with FPSCE. I was able to play Megaman 8 with sound with minimal slow down. Then again, I had to use Windows Mobile for FPSCE.
Considering the difference between the G1 and Kaiser CPU's are 128 Mhz, I really doubt it couldn't be done on the G1. Would like to also mention, on the Kaiser the 3D acceleration wasn't working either. So FPSCE had no help from the GPU.
My guess is that PSX4DROID uses the FPU that you'll find in many modern Android phones, but older phones like the G1 don't have one. They could probably optimize it to run at full speed on phones like the G1, but they would rather recommend getting a newer phone. Even though most PSX emulators for the PC requires a minimum of a 200 MHz chip, and our phones have a 528 Mhz chip.
Really wish more emulator developers would develop on the Android. As it is, it seems like Android only has one person working on emulators for the Android.

Psx4droid

So I got the psx emulator even though the slide probably isn't the best device to be running the app on. Tried a few of my fave games and the larger roms (like GT2) are slightly laggier then the smaller ones (like Spyro 2). This is probably normal due to size.
I know this is the first release so its not a well pollished app but how much better do you folks think its going to get for us slide users? And is this the same experience the rest of you are having?

took the app from 4shared.com amd game won't load. buying it tommorow tho, but it shouldnt run horrid thinking it might run smooth actually, not a fan of how you have to get the roms but hey it ps1 on the go right?
Update: Looks like my Bios was the issue, but works fine now. Games are pretty laggy tried overclocking but not sure it worked out to well, need to try something else. only tried spyro playable but not normal game play like you'd want. Wish we had hummingbird in this! *drools over keyboard* If FF7-9 work good enough for me then. but maybe in the future once its more polished it could become better but playing fighter games or very actiony games maybe not "amazing". Price you must pay for owning a mid-range device.

the games are wayyyy too laggy for slide imho. i just stick with the good ol snes emulator.

I think its the emulator that needs some work because I have heard it runs crappy on the Evo too, but for a work in progress you have to admit that its pretty impressive to be able to load a PSX game onto your phone. I have tried a bunch of different ROMs and so far the only one that is playable is Resident Evil Directors Cut.

I just downloaded this, but I'm enjoying it. It's laggy, but I think the fact that it's even possible is amazing.
I've been watching the psx4droid wiki(can't post a link yet) and another forum. Just checking out to see people's experiences with certain games. I think most of the people that are sharing on the wiki have a bit more mhz than us, but it kind of gives me an idea which games will be ok to run.
I've got FF7 right now and it's definitely laggy, but playable. Sound a bit on the staticy side. Downloading Breath of Fire III, Xenogears and Resident Evil 2.
I'm reading the Resident Evils should be better since a lot of the graphics are pre-rendered and mainly the characters and npcs are 3D.
Running stock, btw. Holding out for 2.2 before determine if I'm going to root.
Also, Hello!

Unfortunately RE2 runs too slow but RE Directors Cut runs well enough to play and the sound isnt terrible. So far thats the best I can find, well Tetris Plus runs fine but there are better Tetris games you can play in the market.

Ah crud. Well I'll probably be trying more things to see what is great. I wasn't really too excited about RE2 anyways. I never really had a PSX, so I didn't play a lot of these games. Of course I could just do it on the PC now, but... well, I do enjoy the slide.

About halfway through disk one of Final Fantasy 7. The game runs perfect on Fenix 1.8 OCed to 844mhz. Zero lag. The only issue is the sound but I usually play it in public places anyway so it's not a deal breaker for me. Even bust out the WiiRemote for a controller sometimes at home

Please test this 3 games and let me know how they run for you

Hi!
I got a My touch 3G to replace the tilt 2 for my wife since she wanted to play some games I got in my Galaxy S.
I was not expecting miracles but I was hoping that it would be able to run games like Angry Birds, Crush The Castle and Blow Up at great speed but I need to say I am dissapointed.
Angry Birds runs the best of the three and playable.
Blow Up is close to good but sometimes feel like its underwater or like watching the Bionic Man.
Crush the Castle is just horrible.
Is it because I am running Cyanogen 6 froyo?
Do you guys really only have about 30MB of free ram after booting?!
Thanks for helping...I am trying to decide if its worth an older ROM like Eclair or just sell this the tilt 2 and look for a Galaxy S and call it a day.
Regards

Have you tryed an overclock kernel? That may help with some lag. I've only played angry birds out of those and it runs great.
Sent from my T-Mobile myTouch 3G Slide using XDA App

It is already at 528mhz or so...I have seen some stuff about 700mhz kernels but I am not sure if that is for this phone

Ok tried out blow up and it ran great! I'm clocked at 844mhz on my phone and I'm using a 2.1 rom so if you overclock on a cm 2.2 rom then it should run like it does on your galaxy s check out the dev section and look at the dopio thread and scroll to the 3.1 kernels then everything should run smooth

sorry guys wrong forum mine is not the slide...my bad

Lol when I read it I assumed you meant the slide
Sent from my T-Mobile myTouch 3G Slide using XDA App

But the mytouch can be overclocked pretty high I was thinking 700s or close to 800 either way it will make the games a lot smoother

Yeah... I was wondering why the game was playing slow for him, blow up works perfectly for me with stock everything.

Dungeon Defender

I justed install Dungeon Defender and all I can say is WOW!
There is NO OTHER game that shows off the power of this unit..
I am telling you this game kicks ass in graphics, performance and usability (for a tablet).
I highly recommend if you want to have a showcase application that shows off the power of the Tegra 2 PLUS a high resolution screen this is it!
I honestly was shocked how smooth the game looked, how high the textures were...
Anyway... wanted to share my impression for anyone looking for a showcase game or someone who was thinking of purchasing it for their G-Tab.

Yup, I was really impressed with that one. I also thought Dungeon Hunter was also excellent and ran very well on my G Tablet.
Minigore also looks great and runs very well.

I wasnt too impressed with Dungeon Hunter...seemed very dark and low textures were used - plus of course the main menu is all cut off...
I will have to try out Minigore...

Your menu is cut off in Dungeon Hunter? Mine shows up fine. Maybe you got an incorrect version for our tablets.
The textures weren't very good, but I thought the gameplay and overall graphics were otherwise pretty good for a mobile game.

Oops, just read that Mini Gore is from DavinciDevelopers, who stole the game Iron Soldiers. Maybe shouldn't recommend this game after all, especially for $3. My buddy sent me a copy of the APK so I hadn't read the user comments on the market for it.

I bought Dungeon Defenders last night for $2.99. Best lunch money I spent in a long time. Runs full screen no problems on my G-tab VegaNtab 5.1. It is really a fun game well worth the money. You pick a character and defend your crystal by setting up all sorts of barricades & booby traps ( data voice "thats what I said booby trap" ) Overall graphics were top notch you can adjust the graphic quality within the options.

I should also point out I bought "Dungeon Defenders: First Wave" Uses Unreal Engine

Ahh well I've paid 60 bucks for utter piles of poo, so 2.99 is still a darn good deal for a good game.

This game looks pretty cool but it seems to be only multilayer. Is there a game like this that lets you play against AI characters? I like playing games at my own pace since I consider myself a very casual gamer.
I've tried Dungeon Hunter on this tablet but it doesn't paint the levels well and the lighting effects are way off.

I don't know about using a Wii controler but I have one of these I've used for other games on my gTab and will likely use it on this game.
The only thing about this joystick is that the suction sometimes releases and you'll have to be careful so that the ball on the joystick doesn't smack your screen (I was worried the first time it did this as I thought it may crack the screen).
I've seen some other joysticks like this that is low profile and cheaper AFTER I bought this one.
Anyway, it is a solution.
