Alright, time to update my list now that I jumped to CM7:

Asphalt 5 v3.1.8 (WORKS)

Brothers in Arms 2 v3.1.0 (WORKS)

Fishing Kings v3.2.2 (CRASHES upon Launch)

Gangstar v3.0.6 (CRASHES upon Launch)

Let's Golf 2 v3.1.5 (CRASHES upon Launch)

Let's Golf 2 v3.1.6 (CRASHES upon Launch)

NOVA v3.4.2 (WORKS)

Sandstorm v3.1.1 (CRASHES upon Launch)

Shrek Karting v3.1.6 (CRASHES upon Launch)

SpiderMan v3.0.8 (CRASHES upon Launch)

Splinter Cell Convention v3.2.0 (CRASHES upon Launch)

UNO v3.5.0 (WORKS)

The odd thing is most of the games above were working on Nootered 1.1, but now on CM7 they mostly crash. Overall though, more apps run on CM7 than 1.1.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] jbuggydroid:
Ganstar: west coast hustle version 3.4.7 works.

Dungeon Hunter 3.4.7 works

Hawx 3.3.7 works
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] jbuggydroid:
Dunno. We may need to have somebody compare the differences between nootered and cm7
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] bretzke:
Anything special about your nootered 1.1? framework.jar fix or something?

I'm running nootered 1.1 and can't get any GameLoft game to run.

Thanks!
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] kwheaties:
Which ROM???
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] kwheaties:
I actually had the same results before & after applying the framework.jar fix. I think the versions of gameloft games & if they were cracked makes a big difference. For example, I bought these games for my Evo, but you can't just use that same apk on the NC.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] jbuggydroid:
Opps sorry bout that cm7 and I do believe they are the cracked versions.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] Chahk:
Are we compiling a list of working 3D games only?
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] gallahad2000:
Gameloft's android games are all discounted today (down to $1-2)! Time to try some new games and get amnesty for those of you who were "testing" downloaded apks.

hey guys i am working on a full list of working games for cm7. will post hopefully later tonight. i plan on trying all apk versions for each gameloft game. so far i have 6 titles that work. will post later

Awesome news!!! Did anyone happen to get NFS Shift (v1.0.4) working? It hangs at the EA logo for me, but worked perfect on Nootered 1.1. Just curious...
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] jbuggydroid:
i have nfs shift version 1.0.60 and it runs fine on the nook in full screen as long as compability mode is off. i didn't have to download the additional data tho since i just copied that off my sd card that was in my epic 4g. that way i was able to keep my saved game. i say that because another guy had got the app to work but it froze up on the download part. if you have it running on another phone just copy the data off that sd card to your nooks sd card and make sure it has the same file path!!

update: i am running the final release candidate of cm7 and have had no trouble running the game from nightly 25 and up
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] jbuggydroid:
what version of hero of sparta did you use?
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] kwheaties:
A couple updates from the $1 sale:

Gangstar Miami Vindication v3.1.6 (CRASHES upon Launch)

Let's Golf 2 v3.0.4 (CRASHES upon Launch)

NOVA 3.5.0 (WORKS, still small screen & no app drawer icon)
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] gallahad2000:
Compatibility mode off will fix that
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] kwheaties:
Sorry, I meant only the menus are small... the game is full screen. Compatibility mode off is required for all EA games as well. :D
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] jbuggydroid:
ok i have tried a bunch of games and versions and this is what i found to work on cm7

uno 3.5.0

Nova 3.1.0 ( starts small screen but does go full in actual game)

Hawx 3.3.7

Gangstar 3.4.7

Dungeon Hunter 3.4.7

Asphalt 5 3.1.8

Modern Combat 2 3.3.0 (crosshair is off)

Brother in Arms 2 3.0.8 (logs when things get busy in game and the audio messes up so you have to pause and resume to fix)

Hero of Sparta 3.2.1; 3.2.6; 3.2.7; 3.3.0; and 3.4.8 runs fine but you have to stretch right thumb to hit shield and sword. left joystick is about an inch high from bottom of screen

hope that helps
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] gallahad2000:
You may be able to play additional games if you try them with compatibility mode on for the first attempt. Apparently with CM7 and Dungeon Hunter 2 there was a known bug that having compatibility mode off would cause FC during file validation. I seem to be having that bug but turning it back on hasn't gotten me past it. Those of you trying different games may want to consider using compatibility mode to see if any other games will work.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] bretzke:
So do most of you use the GTab versions then? If so how do you buy those versions?

Sorry for the noob questions. I bought Asphalt and it worked one time and ever since it FC everytime. I'm sure I'm getting a phone version since that's what the NC is spoofed in the market to be.

Any help would be appreciated.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] gallahad2000:
I bought the Droid X versions because that's the closest to the NC (same GPU, similar CPU) but the apks I've gotten haven't been working (So I just used cracked apks from the net).
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] kwheaties:
A few more failed attempts last night:

Asphalt 6 v3.1.6 (CRASHES upon Launch)

HAWX v3.4.3 (CRASHES upon Launch)

Tetris EA didnt work for me on CM7 :(

Autonooted and Froyo works like a charm....
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] gallahad2000:
Anyone attempting to get retail versions working on the NC, what phone edition are you using? You will likely not have any luck with Snapdragon devices (EVO, Nexus 1, Incredible, Desire, etc) because the NC uses an ARM8 chip (and there are different versions of games for each though the main difference seems to be the additional files rather than the apk.)
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] kwheaties:
Eternal Legacy = Fail.

So odd that most gameloft games FC on CM7, but most all other apps work great.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] Jasper_Ward:
Has anyone gotten Starfront collision to work on CM7 NookColor? I loaded it and it gives me the intro video, then goes back to ADW
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] sasquatch_hero:
I tried 3 versions of Eternal Legacy and the Acer or HTC Desire/Bravo versions work fine for me, accept for a weird bug where the first two playable characters in the game are invisible... future characters are fine...
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] kwheaties:
Well I tried a few more new releases and they all FC'd... appears Gameloft games on CM7 is hopeless! :(
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] minotauri:
I'm also having probs running StarForce. Would love to get it working on my nook. It works on my G2 but i want a bigger screen! :(
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] gallahad2000:
This is why CM7 isn't working with gameloft games. It doesn't have a MEID/IMEI #. You can add one by editing framework.jar.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] kwheaties:
I've had my eye on this thread for some time and just saw the newly uploaded 7.0.3 framework file... I took the plunge, rebooted and was able to get GT Racing to load (previously FC'd).

I will start trying the games that previously crashed but hopefully my initial test is a sign of good things to come....
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] gallahad2000:
kwheaties, you rock, maybe we'll finally be able to play purchased versions of gameloft games! Stupid developer is so afraid of people pirating that we can't even use their software unless we download cracked versions, c'est ridicule!
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] dexx0008:
if downloading from gameloft, what device should be using to get something compatible?

droid x?
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] gallahad2000:
Hmm, I haven't gotten any of the official versions to work. Someone posted that they got Eternal Legacy Galaxy Tab P1000 to work on CM7 without making any changes but it consistently crashed on mine until I used a hacked .apk.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] RASTAVIPER:
I noticed that galaxy tab versions work usually for nook
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] RASTAVIPER:
First serious problem with Shadow Guardian.

In general I like adventure games and I wanted this to work.

Unfortunately the Galaxy Tab version, just gets frozen at Loading page, after I installed apk and downloaded sd data without any problems.

Also, I tried the Samsung mobile version. but this just didnt work at all.

Anyone else care to try?I can provide links through PM.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] dexx0008:
thanks for the reply. is this even after applying this IMEI spoof?

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1004102&page=3

Problem is I want to pay for these games and not just run them. It's frustrating I just can get them from gameloft. I don't have a way to even purchase them. I have some for my iphone but would like to try some of these on the nook. I guess i have to wait until either gameloft adds more games to amazon market or adds better tablet support on their own store.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] kwheaties:
I can't get Shadow Guardian to work as well... I've tried all kinds of different versions and tricks but it always freezes during the loading screen which causes me to reboot my NC.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] gallahad2000:
I'm with you there. I've been buying the galaxy tab version and then installing a hacked .apk. It almost makes you not want to support the developer though when they're making it so difficult to be able to legally use their software.

I never applied the IMEI patch, i've just read where it was used to enable some gameloft games (and apparently it worked for some of the games you were trying). I'd love to use it but I am not a master of abd by any means and I'm also a bit worried about using the same IMEI as someone else (although I guess I could use the # from my cell phone).
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] dexx0008:
figured out i can just go the gameloft.com from the nook color and buy the games from the browser. I had to edit build.prop and specify model and manufacturer similar to what you do to get netflix working. I just specified my nook as being a galaxy tab so i could directly download the galaxy tab games to my nook. However, none of the games run that I bought from Gameloft at this point. I'm going to try the imei spoof and hope that helps. If not, I'll be looking for other options.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] philburkhardt:
I did that exact same thing. I actually edited the build.prop to make Netflix work, and got access to the mobile version of the Gameloft store. I was able to purchase Shadow Guardian, and download the data. But, the game just gives me fc's when I try to run it. I applied the IMEI hack, and I still couldn't get it to work.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] ramiss:
For anyone that needs it, here are the build.prop changesbthat worked for me with Gameloft downloads AND Netflix.

ro.product.model=SPH-P100

ro.product.brand=bn

ro.product.name=encore

ro.product.device=encore

ro.product.board=encore

ro.product.manufacturer=samsung
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] EverythingNook:
wow what? so this will allow me to play gameloft games??
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] ramiss:
What it will let you do is legitimately purchase and download the HD Galaxy Tab version of the games on your NC, which are compatible with our hardware.

Playing the games is still hit and miss but several people have a handful of them working.

Richard
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] RASTAVIPER:
I dont think that games that doesnt play with hacked apk, will ever play with IMEI hack, since this is not the problem.

They are just not made for our hardware some games.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] dexx0008:
ramiss is right, it is hit or miss.

I was able to get sph-p100 versions golf, dungeon hunter, and sacred odyssey to work with imei hack. these i paid for and downloaded to the nook directly from the browser from gamelofts site. this is with the edited build.prop on 7.0.2 stable. the video's don't play but the games work very well. I believe the videos don't work because nook stock player can't handle them.

other games such as gangster, uno, hero of sparta don't work.

i did not try asphalt 5, fast furious 5, shadow gardian, starfront collision, sandstorm or spiderman. these are the only ones avail. for sph-p100 galaxy tab at the moment.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] gallahad2000:
I've got the hacked versions of gangstar, hero of sparta and spiderman to work (spiderman is windowed).

As I understand it, the video codecs are common files and not part of any player (my TP2 won't play videos no matter which player I use because it doesn't have android codecs, one of the devs got it working using the codecs from his nexus). If anyone is really dead set on seeing all of the cut scenes they may be able to try swapping out the codecs in their system\libs directory (after performing backups, of course).

Could we make this into a compatibility thread a la: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1000450

any luck with Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell Conviction™HD ?

.i installed it and dowloaded data, but when I run it it throws me to the homescreen
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] gallahad2000:
Are you using a hacked .apk? That's probably the minimum to make it run.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] wiiwant:
I got Nova and Starfront running.

Starfront + Nook Color = awesome!!

P.S. Im now looking for a way to edit the config for starfront to allow me to zoom out further. Something simmilar to the WC3 regedit trick or Starcraft resolution trick.

You are awesome, I can't wait to play starfront on the NC.

Always with hacked apk.Did u manage somehow to make it work?

Please give instructions for NOVA.Only files I found, had NOVA with a very small screen resolution.

I'm wondering if we might have luck using chainfire3d and trying different versions of the games that aren't working in the traditional powervr format.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] nolook:
i got asphalt6 hd kinda working using chainfire3d and qualcom driver...the game plays fine except no textures on car tires or environment for some reason...

anyone have and ideas?
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] gallahad2000:
<EDIT2: You have to "USE" the plugin under OpenGL settings, now it (A6HD) works perfectly, Nova2 still crashes>

<Edit: I think the CF3d isn't working since it requires a 1ghz overclock and the Phiremod 6.2 only goes to 925mhz>

I think it may be downloading the wrong data (ie the right data for a Nook Color with a pVR rather than an qualcom)

Just tried the xperia play version of nova 2 and saw about the most beautiful graphics yet on the NC, right until it FC'd before I got to the menu.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] motitas:
I got shadow guardian, sacred odyssey and fast 5 running... they were all pretty slow. I got them running by using the IMEI framework hack and editing the build.prop (as you can see in my xda app sig). These were all the galaxy tab versions. Star front (galaxy tab) black screened on me even with different crossfire settings, does anyone know the correct version?
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] philburkhardt:
What format did you use for the imei? How many digits, and where was the placement of the dashes?

I haven't been able to get anything to work with the imei hack I am using, and I am also spoofing a SPH-P100 in my build.prop.

Galla. where did you get Nova 2 for xep? I cant find Nova or Nova 2 on market.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] gallahad2000:
Gameloft doesn't put a lot of their games on the android market. You have to go to their site. The DRM that they put on their games makes them tend to not run on the NC so I was actually testing a hacked .apk.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] thegameksk:
Could you pm me where you got the apks from?
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] gallahad2000:
Just added a list of working games and versions (and bugs) to post #2.

you may want to try NOVA 3.1.3, there's apparently a galaxy tab compatible version of that one. (no promises, I haven't tried it)

Anyone able to get starfront working? I bought the galaxy s tab version of it. It downloaded the data over wifi fine but after it keeps going back to my home screen when Istart it. Can anyone help?

Starfront is working!!!!!!!! :eek:

Which one would that be from the gameloft site???

Also how do you guys get nova running? It runs fine on my epic but the nook color I get a white screen. This happens in compatibility mode and non compatibility mode.

Starfront V 1.0.7

My Method...(please only do this if you have paid for the game) :-)

**Disclaimer**

I am not responsible for damage to your device, your marriage, your employment status..... yada yada yada

1. Download an apk for the galaxy tab (newest version)

2. Install .apk , run for the first time and allow game files to be downloaded.

3. Uninstall .apk

4. Find these somewhere......

StarFront.Collision.HD_Galaxy.S_Powervr_GloftSFHP.rar (more game files) 326MB

Star_Front_Collision_HD_Samsung_GTi9000_Galaxy_S_proper.apk

5. extract StarFront.Collision.HD_Galaxy.S_Powervr_GloftSFHP.rar and copy files to gameloft/games/GloftSFHP **overwrite existing files** (on your sd card)

6. Install Star_Front_Collision_HD_Samsung_GTi9000_Galaxy_S_proper.apk

7. Run starfront.

It will tell you it needs to download game files click OK (it will just check your files)

It will say "newer version available do you want to update." Click NO

This will only happen the first time you run it.

8. Play starfront.

Credeit for hacked .apk goes to djeman...(this may help your file search)

Credit for hours of trail and error with different apks and game files goes to me. :-)

Nova v3.5.0

1. Search for djeman Nova 3.5.0 and download the version for PowerVR and ARM processors

2. Install

3. Play (menu screens arent full res but gameplay is)

All credit goes to djeman
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] gallahad2000:
I just grabbed the .apk (patched by Tag3r) and the files downloaded/installed for themselves. Version numbers for the other working gameloft games (just updated with the 3.5.0 nova you listed) are found in the second post of this thread. Feel free to share any other versions/games you get to run.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] wiiwant:
I'm glad it worked out for you. For whatever reason, I had to jump through some hoops to get Starfront to run.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] gallahad2000:
It must be differences in the tag3r and djeman patching processes :Shrug:
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] philburkhardt:
In Starfront, is the mini map in the upper right corner screwed up for you? Mine doesn't fill out the entire space.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] DiscoPh3v3r:
yay it works :D

Edit:

Spoke too soon :/ force closes after intro :(

Do you have IMEI hack enabled?

Edit 2: I didn't see most of the posts following your post. Please ignore me :)
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] gallahad2000:
Yeah, it's a bit small but still fully functional
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] TDO:
Maybe a dumb question but why are you using the SGS version and not the Galaxy Tab version?

Shouldn't this version have the correct size of the graphics, ...?
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] gallahad2000:
Not a dumb question, for whatever reason the Gtab version isn't working and the SGS is (same thing for NOVA). Wiiwant is also using the SGS version though he appears to be using a combo of Gtab and SGS data, not sure if he has the same small mini map problem.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] RASTAVIPER:
This game is similar to the GTA series games,

Thanks, 3.4.7 also does, I'll add that version to the list.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] neoage:
Hi!

I'm kinda new at gaming on the Nook Color, but I was wondering: What are these IMEI patches and "C3D" programs you guys are talking about?

I have Shadow Guardian and Eternal Legacy installed on the NC, but SG hangs on the loading screen and Eternal Legacy refuses to download.

BTW, I remember I once had EL working perfectly on the NC(my NC unit stopped reading sdcard data, wouldn't parse for anything, so I upgraded to phiremod 6.2), except that the screen was very small, and nothing I did with superuser or spare parts would change that...

Any help?

I'm on phiremod 6.3 running @ 1.2 ghz
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] gallahad2000:
IMEI is a unique number given to cell phones, sorta like a social security number for phones. Certain apps use them to tell which phone they are on. The Nook Color doesn't come with an IMEI so those apps won't work until you give it one or find a hacked version of the .apk which no longer checks.

Android devices have video chipsets of 3 varieties: Tegra, Qualcomm or PowerVR. Chainfire 3d is an app that allows your device to imitate a device of a different chipset so that games coded for those specific chipsets will run.

As far as your particular problem. Which version of Eternal Legacy did you have running on which version of NC android? Did shadow guardian ever work for you? Have you tried reinstalling EL, I know I've had to reinstall a couple of my Gameloft games after upgrading Phiremod versions.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] neoage:
Wow, thanks for the information! Now most of this stuff makes sense!

Now, about the hacks: IMEI hacks are the install files(apk) themselves, but for other phones, right?

I have Eternal Legacy for the HTC, which is the only one that wouldn't give me a parsing error upon installation. I used to be able to run this one or one like it before. The only problem was the screen size - it was too small, and I'd been looking for a way to enlarge it somehow - spare parts didn't help. I upgraded phiremod since then, and some of the files I used to use give me that darn parsing package error.

I installed Shadow Guardian(Samsung version) and it always hangs at the loading screen. I have the gameloft files for the game and everything, but it still just hangs. I've tried it with and without CF3D and no difference. Still hangs.

The only GL game I've had any type of luck with is Modern Combat 2 3.0.8, which works flawlessly on the Nook. Haven't tried it with CF3D installed though.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] DiscoPh3v3r:
Not quite. IMEI is a number given to your device. Some apps use this number for verification, so that only people who paid for the app get to play it.

So if i bought an app for my phone that had an imei of: asdfghjkl

I would not be able to play it on any other device(whether that is a phone or nook) because each electronic device has a different IMEI number.

So like gallahad2000 said. It's like a social security number.

SSN:AMERICAN ::IMEI:ELECTRONIC DEVICE
