Build.prop

[ch3mn3y]

So i want to play Half Life 2 and Portal on my Ultra, but it doesnt start (get back to app drawer).
Im thinking that its coz my device is not supported.

So magbe if i change build.prop it will start.

For now i have apk and data from net, but im trully willing to buy it if it will work. Unfortunatelly there is no demo apjs for now, wish that google will change that in the future.

Thanks will try it later
Just tried using GLTools and games doesnt work, however i read somewhere that someone made HL2 usable on non shield device, so ill keep trying

EDIT: Its working. However now i need ps3/ps4 controller for my xperia

 

[japogz]

how to edi build.prop for nvidia shield games?

how did you edit it? did you change everything or just a fex text? and what is it?

He didn't edit anything. He pirated the game, then used GLTools to run it.
It's working great on my S7 Edge, too: https://youtu.be/-3YGKDlSG2U

I've used Device Spoofer (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.scheffsblend.devicespoof&hl=en) on my old Galaxy Note 2 three years ago to buy. But it doesn't seem to work anymore. I've just tried to spoof my phone to buy Doom: BFG, but I can't access the Nvidia Lightspeed subpage on Google Play anymore.
I've got some old devices here, and will to fiddle with their build.prop files. I just saw that Nvidia have release the 2013 Tomb Raider reboot for Android TV. I'd be very interested to try that one out, too.

why is there no 'ro.build.flavor' in this? Also the codename for the tablet is shieldtablet, is that build.prop of the tablet or the portable cause codename for portable is roth!
