After reading some positive reviews and seeing a video showing it working on a TouchPad running Android, I decided to buy DeadSpace. I made the purchase through market.android.com, but I can't download it because the Market app says it's not compatible with my device. Does anyone have a recommendation for how to download this game now that I've bought it? Can I change the device ID or something to make the market think my TouchPad is something that is compatible?
Thanks!
try changing your build.prop info to the same as the SG-i9100
In the build.prop change the following lines from:
ro.product.model=Touchpad
ro.product.brand=HP
to
ro.product.model=GT-i9100
ro.product.brand=samsung

u didn't change manufacturer on purpose?
Wasn't needed.
By the way I tested and this didn't make this particular game show up. Will look into some more when I get a chance.

Actually this did work for me and I was able to download the game. I did have to clear cache on Market and clear data on Google Services Framework, then reboot, but once I did, it showed up. I had to perform these steps on my Nook Color back in the day as well...
So now that it's installed, the game starts and says it needs to download 300+MB. I tell it to do so and it immediately shows an empty dialog with only an "Exit" button, after which it exits. I can't get past that. Any ideas?
Also, I installed Chainfire3D and the Nvidia plugin. Is that necessary? Is that correct for the TouchPad? Is there any other configuration that I should do for this to work well?
Thanks much for the help!
You could try the other plugins powervr or qualcomm
Glad you were able to get it downloaded. Not sure on the download issue though.
If you have another supported device you could try downloading the files on it and moving them over - or see if someone has posted the sdcard files somewhere.
Have the exact same issue with Dead Space. Asphalt 6 HD works like a charm though. I'm looking for answers but I get the same response.... wash, rinse, repeat (wipe, clear cache, repeat thrice...)
Haven't tried doing the 3-peat yet. If anyone else has and has achieved success after having the same issue with this game, let us know!

Success! Took a while though.....
So I updated my build.prop to the Pyramid device... (sorry, no link where I found that, but GT-i9100 should do fine too). Then I side loaded the main apk like suggested in previous threads. Then I copied the root folder from my Evo where I already had it installed to my PC and transferred the folder to my TP like it was already fully installed.
From there it still said my device wasn't supported, so I installed the powervr plugin for chainfire3d, used in-app settings through chainfire.
Here's where it got weird: I kept getting the same error over and over of my device not being supported. Then my wifi connected and when I ran the game, it immediately searched for an update. Apparently it found one! Suddenly I'm up and running, smooth as silk.
Now gonna try Real Racing 2!

Anyone know a solution for this? I'm getting the same issue. I'm running Jensen 2.8 lite with the buildprop changes and also installed chainfire3d with all the pluggins. No go
Okay, I used my Nook Color to download the data, transferred that back to the TouchPad, and launched it successfully. When it starts rendering 3D, though, it's all white with no textures. What Chainfire3D settings are folks using on the TouchPad that work?
I have read somewhere to use the following option for chainfire 3D as this is the GPU-manufacturer:
qualcomm
it may be worth a try.

Yeah, I've tried all three plugins with the various options enabled and disabled. No go. Has anyone gotten this going with A3.5? Between this and the lockups in Currents and other Webkit apps, I'm strongly considering going back to the previous alpha.
Okay, I finally got this working. I moved back to A2.1 which didn't actually fix anything (though it does seem to have resolved the lockups in Webkit-based apps like Google Reader and Currents, though they're not as smooth when they're working), but then I purchased the full version of Chainfire 3D and launched Dead Space using per-app settings. Suddenly it worked perfectly! I don't know why that would make a difference...perhaps I just didn't know how to use the free version. Either way, $4 is a small price to pay for the added flexibility of the full version of Chainfire 3D, and of course now I have a working, silky smooth Dead Space! Woohoo!
UPDATE: Okay, I know the magic incantation now. This works under A3.5 (and therefore presumably XRON) just fine if you use the PowerVR plugin in ChainFire 3D. I didn't have to reduce texture quality or anything else, just set the plug-in to PowerVR. I hope this helps others get this really nice looking game going on their TouchPads!

Hi, I can't get it to work on my Nexus S. I just downloaded PSX4Droid, the correct BIOS (SCPH1001) and 2 different versions of FFVII. One is a .bin and the other is .iso. I can't get either to work.
When I click them in the ROM selector the menu slides off to the left (as if it's loading the game) but then it just goes back to the ROM selector page.
Any tips/ideas?
EDIT: PS: The .bin version came as an ECM but I unpacked it correctly.

Having the exact same problem on my Nexus S, and am following that same procedure. I also had another game that was in the ECM format that I converted to .bin format following other instructions, and tried like 7 other BIOS files I found online too. Anyone that got it to work want to shed some light on how they are doing it?
Wanted to add that I am using the free version, maybe only the paid version was updated to work?
EDIT: OK, really wanted it to work haha so went ahead and bought the v2 paid version, and it does actually work, so I guess that the free version has not been updated to work with the nexus s yet.
I can play games for a while, but they all eventually force close. Wack

Psx4droid Not working on Nexus S
I tried both the free and pay version of psx4droid and never got a rom to work. I downloaded different roms form different sources and even did some converting to .bin file from 7e files. Still nada. I also did the whole sch1001.bin (or whatever the correct file name is) and loaded that into the emulator but again nothing. All that happens is that when I try to load a rom is goes back to the menu page or just crashes. Any ideas about what I can or should do?
Thanks
I can't run smooth any ps1 rom . Hix . How can i config it ?...

fpse has finally been released (around a day ago). It's on the market for approximately $5. I'm going to give it a go and see how it runs.
Got it working
For those of you still having trouble with psx4droid on the Nexus S:
Download the v2 apk, not the v3 available on zodttd's website.
I found this, who knows how long it'll be there, but it works fine on my phone:
Ok seems it won't let me post a link, but just google "psx4droid v2 v1.1.2.apk" or a variation of it and that should do it.
Just tried it with Castlevania SOTN and it ran slow but at least it worked, I'm sure messing around with the settings could speed it up a bit, I'll research it when I get a minute. Tried FF Tactics and it booted up fine, didn't try gameplay yet.

CM7 doesn't work with youtube. I'm not sure what your intentions are, but you can't play videos until the problem with the dsp/audio code gets worked out. Fortunately, it seems they have the problem narrowed down, so when The Great One returns from spring break, he has said he plans to hit the ground running.

Delete the Youtube.apk from /system/app then just install YouTube from Market.
Also make sure you have Flash Player 10.2 from Market.
If you use the lastest version of CM7, YouTube works, but at only 15fps..
Hopefully, this will be fixed soon...

Our definitions of "working perfectly" are very different.
Also, it's my understanding that the Youtube app does not use flash. It streams an Mp4 or something for efficiency and hardware accel. The YoutubeXL app is really just a browser pointed at youtube's XL site and it uses flash (software accel)

Can't install YouTube or Google Apps CM7 SD Nook Color
When I go to the market, it displays these apps but there is no INSTALL or DOWNLoad button. It's missing from the app page. I have tried going to the developers page and the same thing happens. It's as if it doesn't recognize the NOOK Color when CM7 is running. Latest CM7 version was installed less than a week ago. NetFlix works however. Any ideas? Thanks.

Okay, this was very helpful and works with brand new installs and presumable updates as well. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction. I'm glad I can now see the Install buttons on many more applications.
The only problem I have now is that many of the videos on YouTube give me the following error when I try to load them:
"There was a problem while playing... Touch to retry." Retrying doesn't help. The same videos load and play properly using my big Windows 7 computer. Has anyone seen this error and has a suggestion for a fix?
Thanks again.
Now that this is out...will this be able to work for the Eris, or no cause we have arm6?
I got it to load and start streaming but no sound or audio and the time stayed the same. Restarts after a bit. Hadn't tried changing the build.prop yet though. No pc around. Some folks say it works on original Droid though.

Netflix on the Eris
Here's an interesting one. I tried to download the apk to my Coby 7015 tablet. It immediately downloaded the apk to my Eris. Go figure.
Installed fine and loads up. When I start a video, I get a dark screen with the "pause - fast forward" control bar at the bottom then it goes back to the netflix home screen. No audio. No video.
Logcat shows: D/TAG ( 3163): Not Android 3.x+ with drm.play.
I'm in the same boat on Gingerbread. Black screen with controls and then it eventually resets to home screen.
I downloaded the apk off of google, it installed fine and it brings everything up, but when i try to play something all i get is a message saying "the netflix service is not available on your device. please check netflix.com/netflixreadydevices for info regarding support for your device"

I just edited the build.prop using this http://www.reddit.com/r/Android/comments/ha5oh/root_how_to_edit_your_buildprop_to_make_netflix/
so far, the app runs, and it looks as if its going to start streaming, but i just get a black screen with the pause botton. Idk if wifi will work ill try it when I get some, its on 3g now.

but do u think for the eris it will come and still have the support being as its an old model?
The Eris will never have official support from Netflix. Basically, there's a set of DRM libs baked into the officially supported phones. These hacks are attempting to trick the app into thinking the phone is a supported phone with supported DRM libs. However, it's not working on the Eris even with the build.prop mods. I'd like to see a logcat of the problem, but I really believe it has to do with the DRM libs not being satisfied and possibly crashing media libs like most older devices.
I'm waiting for somebody to just package a fake build.prop and DRM spoof into a modified Netflix app. I'm sure it can be done, I just don't know what the Netflix servers check the app for. MD5 and DRM version?
I can't even get the apk to install. I've downloaded it, but I get no option to install it from astro or from the downloads menu on the browser. How do you install this damn thing? I even downloaded app installer, but it doesn't seem to recognize it as a valid apk.
Works fine for me. The only thing is that the app itself is massive compared to all the other ones I have. Due to the fact that it sucks down a lot of memory and power, I think I'll be fine with the Netflix app on my iPod/iPad/Xbox/laptop/whathaveyou

so what ROM are you on, what did you do specifically to enable streaming vid?

Looks like the barrage of negative reviews about incompatibility caused Rockstar to list a lot of devices as incompatible. Since I can now see all the old Flashback ROMs I used to run on the list of devices, I can tell you they're all now listed as incompatible. My Epic is as well, so.... well, looks like Rockstar should have tested it a bit more.
Hi All:
I'm running CM7.02 Repack BL1.2, and and +1 that GTA III 10 yr Ann. version works with no problem on the gTab.
I did have some issues to be able to load it due to having over 15 differnt ROMS previously installed (yeah I know).
Issue #1 Screen Density, I had it at 120, changed it to 160 (thx tedlogan42). If you are have texture issues with some other games, try dloaing BuildProp editor, search or google it, its free and xda has great posts on how to use it. Basically you want to:
In the /system/build.prop file, I changed this line:
ro.sf.lcd_density=120
to this:
ro.sf.lcd_density=160
(save and reboot to apply change)
Issue #2, cant find GTA III in the market, or a game that used to install now says its not compatible to your device, well after you changed your screen density:
-goto Settings>>Applications>>>Manage Applications>>>All Tab
-scroll to Market
-Force Stop
-Clear Cache
-Clear Data
-Reboot the Gtab
Once Gtab is rebooted and stable, launch Market, you should see the "Accept EULA" window. Click accept, search for your game GTA III or whatever game that used to run.
Hope this helps someone....

Decided to try this out on Flashback 10.3 (HC) to see what happens. Setting LCD density to 160 does not play nice. I undid the changes and things are working fine. There may be a way to adjust other variables to make this work better, but that is beyond the scope of my knowledge.

Decided to try this without the change to screen density to see what happened. No love. I imagine the screen density in build prop must be altered before trying this. I may try changing the screen density, clearing market data, accepting EULA, trying to find GTA III, and then restoring my screen density. No time now, but perhaps on Xmas when I'll have nothing to do.

While your suggestions didn't help me due to ROM differences, I bet they'll help someone with a similar setup to yours. Additionally, you introduced me to Root Explorer and Build.prop modifications. Something awesome that I didn't know about. Thanks for the knowledge and taking the time to reply!
CyanogenMod 7.1.0.1 works but no sound
The game shows up in Market with CM7.1 and it installs fine but there is no sound. Also, the controls on the game is hard for me to get used to. There's too much happening with too many "buttons" on the screen clustered together to make them useful. I wish it would have game controller support.
Can't wait for a Ice Cream Sandwich ROM since I've read that it's supposed to have built in game controller support.
Sorry if this has been posted before, I did a search, but couldn't find anything...
I bought a few of the EA games back when the market had a sale, and I've gotten Shadowgun and Dead Space to work on the 03/22 nightly with Rohan's super mod pack (build.prop is spoofed as a Galaxy S II, I think), but the Play store keeps telling me that my device is incompatible with Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit. I can find it on the store, view the page and all, but it keeps saying "Your device is incompatible with this version." It's available on a legit Galaxy S II, so I'm wondering if this incompatibility is due to the build.prop missing some other entry or if it's just the market being silly. Any help is appreciated.
Very surprised you got Dead Space working, I have not been able to get a single EA Game to work on my TP. I get 5002 errors and I have even tried to side load the SD data with no luck...

I just ended up side loading the SD data from a friend's tablet, it worked fine. I did have to change the Chainfire plugin to nVidia before it would run though. On PowerVR, the entire screen went white.
Perfect thread. I was about to ask what device name should be used in build prop to allow Dead Space to run. I had it running briefly on my Nook Color but went back to a standard build prop. Does anybody have the line handy in build prop with a device name that I could try? (Like a Galaxy or what not)

Perfect thread. I was about to ask what device name should be used in build prop to allow Dead Space to run. I had it running briefly on my Nook Color but went back to a standard build prop. Does anybody have the line handy in build prop with a device name that I could try? (Like a Galaxy or what not)

The model I'm using is the SGH-t989, the TMobile Galaxy S II. If you boot into recovery and flash this mod (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1519161), it should give you a working build.prop. Sorry I don't have the actual lines handy, but I got mine from the mod.

I got Dead Space working using the Modpack from the link above and then installing Chainfire3D Pro setting the Per-App feature with the NVIDIA plugin. Graphics are mind blowing on my TP!
It was money well spent for the App.

I just ended up side loading the SD data from a friend's tablet, it worked fine. I did have to change the Chainfire plugin to nVidia before it would run though. On PowerVR, the entire screen went white.

Just where do I get the nVidia plugin....just how do I properly install it on Chainfire3d?

Plugins are here:

I highly recommend installing the pro version of Chainfire3D and using the Per-App feature for each game and plugin.
Installing: After downloading the plugins to your directory, run the app and select install plugins/shaders. The app will run a tedious search for the zip files and present you with the results, then just select the plugins you want installed.
After the plugins are installed I suggest you reboot then run the game.
Best,
Going back to the original question, anyone know why NFS:HP isn't working on the Touchpad? Spoofed as a GS2, running ICS nightly 03/22 and Rohan's Supermod pack.
I'll give the new Rohan mods a try.
To those who have successfully installed dead space; do you notice hitching, especially when moving laterally with the graphics? Its not game breaking but it definitely isn't smooth when I have played it

It's working fine for me. I haven't had much time to play lately, but as of chapter 3, there's been no graphical artifacts using the nVidia plugin.
Bumping the NFS:HP issue though. No one has any sliver of an idea? I'd really hate to have bought it for nothing.

Dead Space works great for me, I guess I don't know what you mean by "hitching".
As for NFS, I have NFS: Shift and not Hot Pursuit.. I was able to get Shift working with the NVIDIA plugin using Chainfire, the game starts out good with menus, setting, options what not but when it comes to race time the accelerometer on the Touchpad seems to only work correctly while holding the Touchpad in a portrait position all the while the game continues to play out in landscape mode. Gets rough on your neck after a few laps..hehe
As for getting the APK and data onto your Touchpad requires a little extra work on your part.
I used "Bluetooth File transfer" (free in the market) to get the NFS apk sent from my LG G2x over to my Touchpad.
I installed BTFT onto both the devices so as to avoid issues with transfering.
From my G2x:
1) Using BTFT, Menu >More >Send Applications >select NFS > Send
2) Find your Touchpad on the list of BT Devices that comes up - if none then Menu >Search Devices (Make sure your TP is discoverable first)
Once the APK is sent over to your TP you can install it. I think the Default file transfer directorythat BTFT uses is "/SDCard".
Next you will need to send over the Data Files from the Game. The location is Android>Data>
Find the folder that looks something like "com.eamobile.nfs_hotpursuit" OR simular for NFS Shift it was "com.eamobile.nfsshift_na_wf".
Copy the complete folder to the same directory on your Touchpad.
If you don't have the folder in that directory on your phone then you have yet to download the data needed to run the game.
DO That first then go back and follow the steps.
Sound confusing enough? Good coz I'm just as lost! hehe..
G'luck
Haven't had a chance to side load it yet, but I'm bumping to see if anyone has any idea as to why the Play store won't let a Galaxy S II download NFS.
You can always just download it via touchpad and side load to phone if phone isn't compatible.

Heres a good tutorial on changing your build.prop. This guy has a lot of good videos by the way.

The phone is compatible, but I'm using a Touchpad that's spoofed as a GS2 in the build.prop. Which is why I'm confused the Play store won't let me download it on to my Touchpad.
