Games for Samsung Galaxy Note

Last update: Tuesday 13th of November, 2011

NB: Some games developed for different chipsets (e.g. NVIDIA Tegra) can be run on the Note with the help of the Chainfire3D intermediary OpenGL driver (XDA thread). You will need the correct Chainfire3D plugin in order to run the game; if you don't have the plugin already you will need to download a plugin and then install it.

Gameloft games

All of the Gameloft games I've tried so far from the Android Market give the message "Your device is not supported" when you attempt to run them on the Note.
I'd recommend not purchasing any Gameloft games directly from the Android Market at the moment. Instead visit the Gameloft site and purchase the Samsung Galaxy Note version of the game (NB: AFAIK the Note is not currently supported for any games on the Gameloft site as of 13/11/2011).

Transferring Gameloft games from another Android device to your Note

Thanks to famiglia who wrote the original guide upon which this guide is based.

If you already have a Gameloft game installed on another Android device (or you have another Android device on which you can download and install the game) then you can transfer it to your Note with the following method and see if it works.

Prerequisites:

Your Note must be rooted
Titanium Backup is required for backing-up & restoring the applications

Steps:

Make sure any extra required data for the game to launch has been download on your other Android device.
Using Titanium Backup, make a backup of the game.
Copy the game's resources folder (located in /gameloft/games/ and named either "GLOFTXXXX" or the name of the game) and the Titanium Backup of the game to your PC/Mac.
Transfer the game's Titanium Backup to your Note.
Transfer the resources folder to /gameloft/games/ on your Note.
Run the Titanium Restore for the game on your Note.

Submit a game

When submitting a game please include the following the information to help make the list of games more helpful and easier to use (and save me the work!):
Please only suggest games which you have tested and confirmed working on the Samsung Galaxy Note. Do not submit untested games.

The name of the game
A link to the game download/purchase page (required only if the game did not come from the Android Market)
Whether the game has HD or SD graphics:
HD if the game runs fullscreen and the majority of graphics, textures, text and outlines appear sharp and crisp
SD if the game does not fill the whole screen or if the majority of the textures/graphics/text appear stretched, blurry, "blown up" or pixellated (unless this behaviour is specifically intended)
Any common major and minor issues encountered when running the game on the Note (graphics glitches or artefacts, gameplay issues or bugs, licensing issues, crashes etc)

Thanks mate
which version of Sprinkle worked with you ?

sihayqueirseva · Nov 7, 2011

Thanks. And what version of nfs hot pursuit works?

joeearl13 · Nov 7, 2011

Sprinkle: 1.5 - The THD version with Chainfire3D + NVIDIA plugin from Android Market (com.mediocre.sprinkle)
Hot Pursuit: 1.0.4 - Android Market version with Chainfire3D + NVIDIA (com.eamobile.nfshp_row_wf)

James Harrison · Nov 8, 2011

Any fix?

Does anybody know how to fix 9mm or Back Stab HD? I have Chainfire 3D and all the plug ins bla bla. As far as I know, they work on the SII?

ajoshi · Nov 8, 2011

Is it possible for anyone to test N.O.V.A. 2 HD as it comes up supported on market but I just want to make sure before spending money. I have even emailed Gameloft but they have not send me any reply as of yet (24 hrs and counting).

Thanks

Doesn't work.

The issue with most Gameloft games is they check the precise model of your device before downloading the extra data and they have not added the Note yet, so you'll get a message saying something like "Your device is not yet supported. Please request a refund." when you first start the game -- they don't even let you attempt to see if it would work (which it probably would!).

However if you already have the apk + data files for Gameloft games a few will work fine if you copy the data files to your device first then install (Hawx, Hero of Sparta, Dungeon Hunter and Gangstar I have all got running with this method so far, I'll test more later including Backstab and see if this method works).

I'll try and get one of them working.

Added a bunch of screenshots from most of my 3D games - click the Galaxy Note in the first post to go to the album.

Just to add to the list i have tried PES 2012 and works perfectly.
Also n64oid is excellent on the galaxy note

Added PES 2012 to the list. All of the emulators (FPse, N64oid, GameBoid etc) seem to work pretty well on the note - N64oid in particular since the games are actually rendered in 1280x800 resolution making them much sharper than they were originally.

Also added Aftermath XHD, MyCountry and XPlane 9 (with Chainfire + NVIDIA plugin).

Wind Up Knight is LAGGY for me in Book 3. Apparently same problem as on SGS2.

I think it's laggy on every phone. Even the dev acknowledges it and says that he is working on a fix.

Souai · Nov 10, 2011

you can add princess punt to the list of games that works well. theres a THD version, but the one i tested was the one on the market (maybe SD?).

fills up whole screen. only slight fps drop though (runs at around 50fps). its smooth, but the drop was noticeable for me since i had the THD version running slightly more smoothly on my atrix.

antoniomistretta · Nov 10, 2011

From Samsung apps (free)
Asphalt 6 HD!

Caro_1 · Nov 10, 2011

Is there any chance someone with a Note would be kind enough to try out Scummvm with the stylus and report back how well it works?

I'd be really grateful.

Do you know where (which directory) the data files go? as I will try to see if Dead Space works on this beast or not.

Thanks

Sure, they go in /gameloft/games/ on your phone (not the external SD)

It doesn't work like you'd hope. Its just how Scummvm works normally (ie: you tap and drag anywhere on the screen to drag the on screen cursor around.)

Maybe we can ask the dev nicely to add a stylus control method

It does look very nice though.
