how well ChainFire 3D performs ? Did you have any problem install it ? Does Chainfire 3d , fix market and can you buy from it , nvidia optimized games ? I don't want to sideload pirates games, i want to support developers... I am not a huge fan off silly shallow tablet gameplay that most of the games give you. Currently the only games i play on my tablet are few old adventure games from lucasart with scummvm ... day of the tentacle , Sam and max and full throttle

To answer your questions...

how well ChainFire 3D performs ?

Very well in my experience, the games I played feel like they're optimized for my device, but I can't confirm that it will be this way for EVERY game


Did you have any problem install it ?

Nope, I didn't have any problems but as always proceed at your own risk.


Does Chainfire 3d , fix market and can you buy from it , nvidia optimized games ?

They say that the paid version of Chainfire 3D will fix the market and allow you to download Nvidia optimized games, I can't confirm because I only have the free version of Chainfire 3D


I don't want to sideload pirates games, i want to support developers

You don't have to sideload pirated games, if you have more than one device with different processers you can download legally and copy to your Xoom 2 or Xyboard



... I am not a huge fan off silly shallow tablet gameplay that most of the games give you. Currently the only games i play on my tablet are few old adventure games from lucasart with scummvm ... day of the tentacle , Sam and max and full throttle

How did you get Day of the Tentacle and Sam and Max, lol I want!



Obviously the games are nothing like my xbox lol but Modern Combat 3 is pretty awesome lol good for travel and when i'm away from my console.

Search for scummvm in the market. Is the emulator that help you play lots of old adventures from various developers. I am a huge fun of those games and i have a huge collection with most adventures games released between 1985 - 2000 :eek:. Few of them are now free . You need original files of the games to load them in your tablet ... You can ''find'' most of abandonware games in the internet but if this legal or not is at least questionable

http://www.scummvm.org/compatibility/

Above is the list of compatible games with scummvm ...

Fruit Ninja doesn't work properly. Very laggy. The THD version exits with a error msg right at the start "No Tegra CPU found" ...
Yes THD is only for Tegra devices, wouldn't work on the Xoom 2 because its an TI OMAP chip!


But by the way, I have the regular Fruit ninja working without any problems and no lag!

Well, guess I spoke too soon, I had to try fruit ninja right now, just to check, and yes I did notice that there actually is a minor lag every now and then, but nothing unbearable.

I'm on 3.2.2

Seems like a strange thread, the Xyboard is a pretty standard Honeycomb tablet that should run just about any game that other tablets run?

In theory yes... But not all honeycomb apps are created equal, considering, most most honeycomb tablets run on the NVIDIA Tegra processors, and the Xyboard runs on a Texas Instruments Processor.

Modern Combat 3 is now working on the Xoom 2/Xyboard but you have to get it from the Gameloft store. Also Asphalt 6 and Gangstar Rio is now available in Google Play.
how did you get modern combat 3 from Gameloft's site, it tells me not compatible?


I have asphalt 6 on the list, and saw that gangster rio was in the store but need someone to confirm that it actually plays or if there are any issues with it.

So, I've installed yesterday a bunch of games from gameloft as a easter present to myselft :D :
Asphalt 6 - not working : fc's on start. I've sent a report to gameloft about a fix/refund. Will see what happens.
Modern Combat 3 - it works a bit of lag but playable.
Modern Combat 2 - works like a charm.
9mm - works ok,just a few minutes of play.

I really hope to see an update in compatibility for asphalt 6.

Asphalt 6 works totally fine for me, no Lag at all. Bought it directly from Gameloft.


How were you able to get Modern Combat 3 from the Gameloft site? It's not even showing up for me!

I bought asphalt through google.play.
I will try later through gameloft site.

MC3 appeared as a in-game-commercial in the download files window of asphalt.
I clicked it, gameloft web site appeared and bought it.

I checked again, MC3 doesn't appear on google play or gameloft for my tablet.
Weird.

Well, I uninstalled all my Gameloft games and deleted their files and tried to reinstall them in hopes of getting that same ad, but nope still not getting it.


Damn it now I gotta sit there and reinstall all game files again lol

Sorry to hear that :(

Gameloft's site is all weird and stuff. Not very functional. See my problem with asphalt6. They have all kind of stupid bugs complaints over at the gameloft forum.
They'll probably fix the bugs and MC3 will find it's way to google play and their site.

I only received 2 in-game-ads : some Shrek crappy car game with a bundle hd free game(****ty I presume) and the MC3.

Probably a glitch in their in-game-ads as I can't find MC3 on google play/gameloft site as being compatible with my xoom2.

For the moment I'm working my way up in MC2 :D

PS: my brother installed on his xoom2 a hacked/cracked version of mc3 compatible with samsung galaxy tab which works better than my xoom2 original version :(.
I wanted to bust hist head for not paying 24 RON for the game.

Oh well, atleast I still have my warranty :D

Yes, I do have a cracked version of MC3 working on my xyboard with chainfire because it was intended for Tegra 2 devices, but I always like to support the developers so I wanted to buy an official copy.

What's weird is that the game is available for my Atrix 2 which has the same TI processor as the Xyboard so I was debating of buying it on my phone and trying to sideload it to my tablet, but the resolutions are obviously different so it may not work.
