You will need:

3. Edit "build.prop" file "/system/build.prop"
replace strings
Code: 
ro.product.model=EPAD
ro.product.manufacturer=asus
with
Code: 
ro.product.model=A500
ro.product.manufacturer=Acer
or
Code: 
ro.product.model=Xoom
ro.product.manufacturer=Motorola
and then reboot
3. Have Fun

Good work. I forget that was in build.prop. This may actually work for all Gameloft games. I'll wait til more info is known thought, because I'd hate to waste money on something I can't use.

Nova 2 not working for me either. However Spiderman has always worked for me.
I've tried many versions of nova 2 over the last while maybe there's a file somewhere? I deleted everything in the gameloft dir. Somewhere else I should look?

Sent from my Transformer TF101

N.O.V.A 2 Motorola Xoom version works as well by entering

ro.product.model=Xoom
ro.product.manufacturer=Motorola

Which is handy as bought the Xoom version several weeks ago and then had it not work.

I never had a problem running Spiderman I had the US version v1.07 run without having to use a work around.

Good work pleased to get to try N.O.V.A 2 at long last!

Thanks for the tip.

Just tried Asphalt 6 and by using the Motorla Xoom details was able to get into the online lobby which never was the case when I first bought the game.

Tablet versions;

Without build.prop editing:
Asphalt 6 - Xoom - works fine (latest version from gameloft store)
Spiderman - Xoom - ^^ this same.
Nova HD - Xoom - ^^ this same like upper.

After build prop edition:
Nova 2 - Xoom - works fine (from gameloft store)
Nova 2 - Acer A500 - works fine.
Spiderman - Acer - works fine

Didint work:
Hero of Sparta - Xoom / Acer - U can play the game but it crashes after 2 mins. - latest gameloft store version.
Golf - Acer / Xoom - like upper..crashes after few seconds of gameplay.

Prime 1.7 HC 3.2. + kernel with odmc to 1.6Ghz.

I thought I'd buy Hero of Sparta to see what happens when the build.prop is changed to Motorola Xoom and I am able to report that I have been able to play the game for the last 20 minutes without issues.

    Just thought I'd mention.
    I made a stupid mistake in the beginning. I misread the OP

    Code: 
    ro.product.model=A500
ro.product.manufacturer=Acer
    or
    Code: 
    ro.product.model=Xoom
ro.product.manufacturer=Motorola

    In build.prop the line directly BELOW [ro.product.model= ] is NOT the one to edit, it says [ro.product.BRAND], not [manufacturer] !

    The [ ro.product.manufacturer= ] line is a couple of lines further down!

    Just thought I'd mention it, maybe more people are impatient like me ;-) (it was the reason it didn't seem to work for me at first...)

    cheers!

    Right now I have working:

    Asphalt 6
    Uno HD
    Nova 2
    Need for speed shift
    Bangbang racing
    Galaxy on fire 2
    Riptide Gp
    A few more: pretty impressed with gaming on this thing.

    It is pretty aggravating trying find versions that work. Good tip on changing the build prop.

    Pm me if yall need tips, version numbers etc. ;)

    So far Running prime 1.8.4 and :

    Asphalt 6 HD [ Acer A500 ] : No Need to edit build.prop . running smoothly no force close , just the gameplay screen is shifted down a little which does not really matter with me as long as the gameplay is AWESOME .

    N.O.V.A HD [ Acer A500 ] : running smoothly no force closes no need to edit build.prop .

    N.O.V.A 2 HD [ Acer A500 ] : just edited my build.prop to acer A500 and the game is running flawlessly ...

    Spider Man Total Mayhem HD [ Acer A500 ] : runs perfectly no need to do anything .

    Hero Of Sparta HD [ Acer A500 ] : TRAAAAAAAAAASH ,, just keep getting force close before and after editing build.prop . I noticed that force close came when multitouching in game play so this one is useless for me.

    Let's Golf HD [ Acer A500 ]: Runs flawlessly after editing build.prop to Acer A500 .

    UNO HD [ Acer A500 ] : Also Runs after editing build.prop to Acer A500 .

    Eternal Legacy HD [ LG P990 ] : WORKS . some times when multi touching force close but it is not that important to multi touch in this game so it is playable .

    Shadow Guardian HD [ LG P990 ] : worked with me after enabling android compatibility mode from application info , there is a little cut up in the game play screen .
