HW Accelerated NFS Not Working - Solution Thread

[yetep]

Hey,

Due to the other NFS Hardware accelerated G-Sensor thread becoming cluttered with links and people comparing it to iPhone version, I have raised this thread.

Please can people post possible solutions to the various errors people get. I, for one, get a black screen and non-responsive phone right after the NFS UNDERCOVER screen after it asks if I want sound.

I've also had the no memory error on another ROM.

The strange thing is it worked on the original drivers, changed to ATI and it stopped working. Changed back - still not working. Reinstalled the ROM (hard reset) and STILL not working.

Solutions please, along with the problems that are solved with that solution.

Cheers!

Omnia drivers

Try Omnia 3d Drivers ;-)

Try Omnia 3d Drivers ;-)

Thanks for the suggestion but I really don't think this is a good idea. For one, the Omnia drivers have already been tried and they are in relation to Direct3D-accelerated apps/games etc so it is not applicable to an OpenGLES-accelerated game such as NFS Undercover. Secondly, it has been found that in the case of D3D, the Samsung drivers have done better than the native software rendering drivers provided by HTC. However, the best drivers for the Diamond and other HTC phones with such a Qualcomm MSM7201A 528Mhz chipset is that the ATI ones are hardware-accelerated D3D drivers, and hence are the best for D3D. Not OGLES.

Some off-topicness, but some clarifications so others don't fall in the same pitfalls.

I think the real problem lies in the differences between the original HTC ROM and cooked ROMs. If we can figure out what specific difference is causing the black screen (I have it too), then we can figure out a solution quick enough. Hopefully.

Strange thing is - i've had it working on cooked roms. It was only after i changed to ATI drivers did it stop working.
Also, as I said, when I re-installed the same ROM (hard-reset) it wasnt working again.

Needless to say I'm completely confused!

Thanks for the clarification though Nuke, didn't know that!

nuke1 is 100% right... I'm also 100% sure that the ATI drivers does nothing to improve the performance in NFS Undercover since it's an OpenGL ES game.

The ATI drivers are D3D drivers.

After trying with several rooms and several ways (Cab extraction, cab instalation, etc) it worked with the MAcadam v1.2 when i extracted it and transfered to the storage. I don't know why also, but others cooked rooms didn't worked. Trying to foun out cause i want it to work on my own rom...

Found a way to fix it

Enable TF3D!

Any idea why enabling Touch3d would make the game work?

Down point about this : TF3D stops the fone going into landscape so cant play in landscape :-( But still works!

 

[yetep]

Need to see if anyone has an answer!

My recent experience with the black screen - it didn't work using Shep's WM6.5 until I enables TF3D2. Something about the G-sensor drivers with HTC versus the native WM6.5. I tried removing video drivers, adding drivers. For me, it all boiled down to the g-sensor. Cooked roms might be hit and miss based on what the chefs do with the g-sensor stuff.

In my case it just doesn't work. I use standard HTC ROM, I disable TF3D to get extra memory, and everything, but I just can't get pass the black screen that freezes my phone completely, so I have to soft reset. This only happens in G-sensor version. Other one, with on screen comands runs with no problem. It would just be much better to control the car with tilting. Tried to look for solution several places, but no one seems to know the solution to this one. Looks like no NFS for me

I am using XBMOD Manila Rom, in that it was working excellently

 

[toomie05]

where do you guys get nfs i've looked for it but it says its not for diamond
can someone post a link?

 

[xxmarkosxx]

you have to buy it.It's not free.Or if you want you can download the trial version

 

[toomie05]

Yes i no that but i cant find the correct one there supoosively 2
