Nook HD/HD+ General Gaming Thread

[acam333]

I thought we should have a general gaming thread for our nook hd's and HD+'s. I use mine for gaming a lot of the time so I figured that other people probably do also. You can post anything related to gaming on the nooks here such as games that run great on the tablets, games that aren't supported, asking question pertaining to how games work on the tablets etc. So, does anybody know any really great games or have any questions about games on the nook? If so, fire away!

Games on nook HD+

I'm currently running stock, unrooted 2.1.1 with nova launcher and sideloaded g-apps on a Nook HD+.

I've only put a few games on it so far. Iron Man 3 and Epic Citadel both run very well, which was a pleasant surprise.
Epic Citadel also has some benchmarking features which report decent scores for the Nook HD+.

I also installed Google Ingress, but it just crashes after launch. The crash occurs just after the opening graphic with the globe. This happens under 2.1.0 and 2.1.1.

Any thoughts on how to troubleshoot the Ingress issue beyond the basics (clear cache, reinstall) ?

I've tried it... runs at an acceptable frame rate on medium settings

On medium settings it runs pretty nice, but asphalt itself is pretty bad.
On the other hand EA Real Racing is much better game, but it runs not so smooth.

I am running CM11 on my two Nook HD+ (latest Feb-26th nightly, I just updated both tablets)
I have a strange WIFI related issue with Minecraft PE. Minecraft PE allows you to share your game (your world) with any other device running Minecraft PE on the same LAN. When I open a world with any other device (HP Touchpad, phone), all other devices in the LAN can see the game, even the two Nook HD+. However, when I start a world with a Nook HD+, no other device (the HP Touchpad, the phone, not even the other Nook HD+) can see it.

I wonder if anyone else has found this problem ..

Games Not Working - the haunt (1&2)

the Haunt and the Haunt 2 (and, I assume, all their other games) will not run on my Nook HD+ running CM11 (latest nightly) with PAs 0-Day gapps. In fact, these games stopped working on my Nook Tablet (16gb) after I upgraded it from CM7 to CM9. I contacted the developer (Synthesis Design Solutions), letting them know I was trying to play their games on a rooted Nook HD+ running CM11 (etc.) and they told me to try and download the games from the Nook Store again. Huh?

Well, I didn't download them from the Nook Store to begin with - I no longer have access to the Nook Store after rooting/modding - and the games WORKED on my Nook Tablet running CM7 until I upgraded it (as I said), so now what? Why did they stop working? What was different between CM7 and CM9 on one device and having CM11 on another? If those games ran once, they should always run, unless there was some change in android... And why can I download from the Google Play store, install them, and then they don't run? Really?!

I've tried just about everything to get these games working, except modifying the build.prop, just so I can play the darn things! I tried a couple of Xposed modules (RootCloak and App Settings), and they were no help. So I am left with this: a black screen with a little message saying "Warning This device is not supported."

So, anybody have some idea of how to make this work, short of modifying the build.prop?

Also, I won't purchase any more games from this developer in fear of them not working as well.

Thanks!

I installed n64 emulator and am playing army men 2. Running cm11 with bluetooth keyboard for control. Works great!

Well my best guess is they check for screen dpi and error out, change the build prop settings and see if they run? Best guess I have for that error, I had the same on some games from a old phone that I had to change build prop to 120 and reboot to play them.

Has anyone tried CM 1.2 final stable release with the Wii remotes? I cannot get the HD+ to detect the WiiMotes at all.

 

[Odenknight]

I have also tried using WiiMotes, and it will not work on android builds that are 4.2 or newer. I made a CM10.0 SD-card build, and WiiMotes work on it, but the HDMI out to TV causes the HD+ to reboot.
There's an explanation within one of the development threads as to why the WiiMotes are not working w/ Android 4.2+. Something about how the Bluetooth stack doesn't contain some legacy code that the WiiMotes used to communicate. PLEASE do not quote me on this, as I am writing this in a hurry. Search the forums here for the proper explanation.
