[Nook Color Themes and Apps] philburkhardt:
I just did some Monster Madness google-ing. Looks like the game was pulled from the market, and Tegra Zone now says it will be available June 2011.

I am crossing my fingers that when it hits the market again, it will work.

riptide

Any tips on getting Riptide to work? I have tried everything with Chainfire settings with no luck. It never launches - just a black screen then closes.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] EverythingNook:
what no white apples!?
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] EnTg888:
Anyone having trouble getting Samurai II to save your game? I made it up a couple levels, exited the game, then came back and hit continue and it started back from the beginning. Kind of annoying. Also, weird glitch (i think) that when you turn on 16-bit textures in ChainFire it's much easier to die in the game.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] boogerboy72:
i cant get the stupid combo menu to open, other than that, samurai runs great.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] philburkhardt:
Yeah, I can't access the combo menu either. Kinda bummed about that.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] philburkhardt:
Hey EverythingNook, FYI: I had to reflash my ROM today, and I did have to reinstall the Chainfire3D driver.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] luciferii:
in samurai i cant access the combo menu either :( i was going to buy a combo C with extra chow mein and orange chicken.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] ansleyj44:
Both saving and the combo menu work for me... running cm7 nightly 85 with 1.2 uboot and the 5232011 kernel if that would make any difference whatsoever.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] EverythingNook:
ah, ill just wait until the new nighlty.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] jemping:
For some reason, I cannot play BackBreaker and Samurai II.

Every time I run the app, I got "DXT texture support not found, program cannot run on this device."

For Samurai II, I got "Unable to start program. Your device is not supported."

I wonder if I did anything wrong.

Fruit Ninja and Guerilla Bob work though..
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] EverythingNook:
did you go into chainfire and switch the plugin to nvidia?
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] jemping:
Yes.

I set the plugin per app.

I uninstalled and reinstalled the app and the data. Everything is working now. Whew! I thought I blew ANOTHER $5 on a game that didn't work right on my nook. I have already been down that road with Gameloft.:mad:
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] EverythingNook:
Weird I unistalled then reinstalled the game and the menu still isn't working ):

i cleared data unistalled it and reinstalled it and its still now working ):
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] pryonix:
Hmm... so I installed Chainfire3D. I installed the plugins. I loaded the NVIDIA plugins. No problems here whatsoever.

I went into the market and downloaded Tegra Zone, but when I try to download the game it says "The requested item could not be found."

Btw, I'm spoofing T-mobile via Market Enabler (I don't live in the states).

Not sure what I'm doing wrong :(
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] luciferii:
in chainfire3d theres a button that says fix market, click that and itll show tegra games in your market.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] martian21:
I'm on CM7 Nightly 86 with stock kernel at present (will go back to OC kernel tonight). I've updated to the latest Chainfire3D Pro and have the Nvidia plugin enabled. I've cleared cache and data for both Fruit Ninja and Samurai II and uninstalled and re-installed both.

Still have white fruit in Fruit Ninja, and can't access the combo menu in Samurai II. Any idea what I'm missing???
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] luciferii:
no idea.. i still have white apples in fruit ninja as well cant seem to get rid of em. but the combo menu in samurai 2 now works after reinstall... i didnt clear cache after i uninstalled samurai 2 tho.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] pryonix:
Ah... yep... figured that out a while ago. It's disabled in the free version of Chainfire 3D though, so maybe a note in the OP is in order? Not sure. Haha! >.<

Thanks! :)

Anyway, I'm playing Samurai II now on my NOOK.

IT IS AWESOME. I am so blown away by what this e-reader can do. LOL
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] mlovesu:
i m unable to install the drivers through chainfire 3d..whenever i try to install the CF3D driver it gives a error saying " error could not write to /system". plz help...how do i set the permissions for chainfire 3d so that it can install the drivers to /system. i m using dal's cm7 sd..with oc kernel....plz help
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] pryonix:
I think you need to mount your /system partition as read-write so that the CF3D driver can write on it.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] pryonix:
No problems running Samurai II using PhireMod 6.2 booted from SD. The Nook crashed once but I wiped cached and dalvik cache from CWM and haven't experienced any crashes so far.

I am wondering though if anyone has tried running Dungeon Defenders. It IS the only free app in Tegra Zone and I haven't finished downloading it yet.

Is it working? Can someone confirm? Thanks a bunch.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] sonnydelyte:
ultran00b running CM7 off SD

Is this workable on my setup? If so, can someone pls. give me a few pointers?

Thanks!!!
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] philburkhardt:
The Dungeon Defenders that's in Tegra Zone, is the same Dungeon Defenders that is in the regular market. I think they might have optimized it for Tegra devices, but it will run on your nook without the plugin.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] reaper12:
I downloaded Dungeon defenders and tried it out, but, I couldn't get the video's working, the sound works, but the screen is all black. This is on the intro video and the tutorial video. The game seems to play fine, a little slow, but that might be because I am not using any overclocking kernel.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] mlovesu:
How do I mount my /system partition as read write...place help
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] ansleyj44:
Using root explorer there is a button at the top "r/w," which will mount your system
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] pryonix:
Hi Phil,

It's actually different. There are actually 3 versions of this game - 1 for Tegra, 1 for Qualcomm, and 1 for all others. :)

You can check out the 3 versions at dungeondefenders.com/androidmobile

And I tried (by accident) to run the Tegra version on my NC with the Nvidia plugin off and it did run but the screen was all garbled.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] pryonix:
Thanks reaper! I was able to fully download the game just now and I have been tinkering with the settings on it. I am experiencing the same thing you are (video cut scenes not playing), even though I am on an overclocked kernel (1.3 Mhz).
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] luciferii:
has anyone tried a qualcomm game with the qualcomm driver for chainfire3D? are qualcomm games any better than regular nook games?
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] mlovesu:
I mounted the system partition with root explorer but I get the same error
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] mlovesu:
Has any one able to use cf3d on cm7sd wits Dale of kernel
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] philburkhardt:
Thanks for the info, I had no idea!

Did you have any luck with the Tegra version? Now I'm really curious. If I have the time today (and someone else hasn't done it already) I'm going to download and test all 3. Unfortunately, work may keep me away from the computer for most of the day :mad:
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] gallahad2000:
Is there any difference in graphics between the 3? The default version seems to run and look pretty good on the NC.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] acw1668:
I have the same problem. And I found that it is caused by missing 'mount' command in /system/xbin directory. Use 'adb' to connect your nookcolor and remote shell to it, then issue the following commands:

1. busybox mount -o remount,rw /system

2. cd /system

3. ln -s busybox mount

4. cd /

5. mount -o remount,ro /system

Then try again. Hope this help.

[Nook Color Themes and Apps] mlovesu:
Can I use terminal emulator...
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] pryonix:
yep... well the cut scenes show up blank (but with audio) but everything else is working a-ok! :)

i'm running my NC at 1.3Ghz and even then, the Nook struggles at times but there's an option in-game to lower the video settings and it helps a bit.

Fun game. I've been playing it for the past 8 or so hours. >_<
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] pryonix:
I can't seem to find the link in market nor the app on market for the original version. All I can is the "Dungeon Defenders: FW Deluxe" which is already installed.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] acw1668:
Yes you can if you have a terminal app installed. Just open the terminal app in your nookcolor and follow the mentioned steps to create the 'mount' (soft link to busybox) command in /system/xbin directory.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] philburkhardt:
I don't believe the market shows different versions (I could be wrong, it's happened before :)). I'm thinking the market automatically gives you the correct version for your chip. So in theory, if you weren't running any plugins and didn't already have it installed you would get the version for everyone. But, since it is installed and technically the same game it won't show you a separate version.

Does that make sense, or am I talking out my a**?
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] gurs2323:
Hey martian21 I'm also on cm7 nightly 86 with stock kernel. I am trying to get the OC kernel. which version do I need? I tried kernel manager to download and flash the 1.1 OC and just FC's. Any ideas? Thnx in advance.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] philburkhardt:

[Nook Color Themes and Apps] quikt:
I've only gotten Samurai 2 playing. Monster Madness shows the splash screen for a few seconds then exits back to home screen. Riptide shows a black screen then exits back to home screen.

Those that have working Monster Madness and Riptide, can you post the apk version and what ROM and kernel you are using?
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] philburkhardt:
I don't think Monster Madness works for anyone. It isn't even in the market anymore. Tegra Zone now says it will be released in June 2011. Hopefully when it gets re-released it will work (that's what I'm crossing my fingers for anyway).
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] reaper12:
Your welcome, :) The video cutscenes missing is annoying me though, I don't think I will be able to play the game without them. I want to get the whole atmosphere :D

[Nook Color Themes and Apps] colem91:
Is this for people running CM7 on SD card? Because I haven't been able to mount to /system either and I tried following this exactly through terminal and it ends up saying mount doesn't exist on the last step...
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] colekane:
I am in the same boat as Mlovesu I guess. I have tried the above in adb except the last line gives me

mount: not found

I can go through root explorer and see that "mount" was created, tried chainfire but I still receive the same error. Does this have anything to do with the fact we are booting from the sd card?
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] philburkhardt:
I'm guessing it has to. It seems like everyone trying to run it off an SD card is having issues. I think we need to remember how unique our nooks are for providing the option to boot from the SD card. I would assume most devs are not thinking about needing their apps to work with SD card installations.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] philburkhardt:
Probably not working for SD card installs. I have yet to see anyone successfully ruin it off an SD.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] philburkhardt:
I just updated the OP with a note stating this doesn't appear to be working on SD card installations. Hopefully that helps.

Update: Note removed, because I was wrong.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] kLAcK107:

[Nook Color Themes and Apps] philburkhardt:
...I need to remove my note then.

So, you have Chainfire running successfully on SD?
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] colekane:
That fixed it! I guess I had busybox 1.16.x (something) installed from titanium backup and the one from the market installed 1.18.4

Thanks for the help! downloading samurai 2 now!

Good news riptide working for me after moving to latest nightly and dalingrins latest oc kernel. Samurai runs smoother too. Trying monster madness again. What a great month its been for the nook :D
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] philburkhardt:
No kidding! If the nook can keep up with the bulk of the Tegra games coming out, I can hold off on another tablet until I can get one with a quad core Tegra.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] mlovesu:

[Nook Color Themes and Apps] philburkhardt:
Agreed, thank you racks, I really don't have a clue when it comes to SD card installs.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] racks11479:
No biggie! That's why we're all here. To help each other out. I've been trying my darnest to get Samurai working. If it wasn't for mr "philburkhardt" for passing on this info, I'd still be playing tetris on the tablet. :p
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] Gin1212:
Again though... There is a regular version of Dungeon Defenders that plays just fine on the Nook color, and I seem to recall the videos working just fine.

No point in stressing the Nook's system out with games that are built and work fine for it anyways.

Fruit ninja may be the exception for some as it does come with new features. (That said, I don't play it heavily enough to care about the new stuff) I however am fine with my red apples ;p.

After you've installed the "zip" files , you have to reboot your device , and go to "default opengl settings" --> choose plugin "nvidia".

anyone able to get plants vs zombies working? i installed the pvz hd v1.0 onto the nook and put nvidia as the plugin..and played around with the settings.

all of them crashed while it was loading, except for the texture size setting, but then it make the background and everything in the game really tiny..but it loaded. any ideas?
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] luciferii:
what are you talking about? plants vs zombies isnt out for android.. not yet atleast.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] philburkhardt:
I am assuming everyone is using one of the pirated versions floating around on the internet.

The game was in the market briefly, and then it was pulled. Tegra Zone now says it will be released in June.

My suggestion, again, is that everyone wait until it it officially re-released. Then we can complain about it not working. I don't think anyone can say for sure if it does or does not work right now, just based off of experiences with some pirated apks for a game that isn't even available.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] luciferii:
piracy is wrong.. especially when they're giving it away for free on the 31st! whats wrong with ya?!
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] philburkhardt:
I couldn't agree more.

I know how much work devs put into their games and apps. They deserve every penny they make.

...me, I'm an app buying maniac! I often buy the pro version of an app right off the bat, because I enjoy supporting devs. :D
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] mgp41896:

and applied update-CM7-dalingrin-OC-emmc-052311from Dalingrin

Riptide working great now! I can confirm it works with default options.

Ok next game! We need a huge list of beautiful and fun games to really show this nook off!
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] philburkhardt:
...that was supposed to be an 8 :eek:

Let's try that again,...I'm on CM7 n87!

why DunDef won't play video cutscenes

I just found out why the video cut scenes of Dungeon Defenders won't work on my nook :(

It seems that PhireMod 6.2 doesn't have mp4 playback enabled and the cutscenes of dungeon defenders are in mp4 format. The video files are actually located in the DunDef folder. I tried booting to the stock rom of NC on the emmc and it plays the video file perfectly. I downloaded VPlayer and I was able to play the movie cut scenes and tutorials as well even when booted into PhireMod

However, whenever I play using the stock video player of phiremod, I get audio but no video whatsoever.

*sigh*

I'm probably off topic now but does anyone know a workaround for this? :(

I've already tried uninstalling Chainfire 3D, wiping cache and dalvik and so on and so forth to no avail. I've actually uninstalled the tegra version of Dungeon Defenders and reinstalled the "normal" one just to get it to work but no luck there.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] reaper12:
Nice work Pryonix!! At least We know that the movies play. So maybe it's just setting the default player in the nook to vplayer or something that can play these videos? Or maybe there is a config file in the game itself that picks the player?

I am clueless about these things :D
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] kLAcK107:

Yes, switch it to nVidia, switch it back to none, and switch it again to nVidia, still not working.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] kLAcK107:

[Nook Color Themes and Apps] kLAcK107:
So are there more games to be tested? What runs only on qualcom or powervr?
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] Ronin3178:
Just found this thread, got the plugins and app. Samurai 2 is not coming up in the market, its on the Nvidia marlet, but can't find in android market.....
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] RussianMenace:
Since it's a paid app, I would consider editing your post, as it would be considered "warez" which isn't allowed per XDA rules. To get it to show up in the market you need to have Pro version of Chainfire. So go buy that, then buy the game.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] philburkhardt:
Did you fix the market settings after installing and running the Nvidia plugin?
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] TDO:
For all having problems in the last line.

You have to create the link in /system/xbin not in /system.

Than it will work.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] Ronin3178:
Yes, I have the paid app, installed nvidia plugin, fixed market. D/l'd tegra zone, found the Sam 2 game listed there, clicked get it, went to market, came up with "the requested item could not be found"

Has anyone heard of the app getting pulled?
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] mreshetar:
I am confused. I want to move to cm7 3 from phiremod so I can play Riptide. However I can't understand which oc kernel I should use. Any help?
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] Ronin3178:
For the latest stable, that is still on the .29 kernel, so the most recent OC kernel is the 4/24, but make sure you either get the modified ext4 version or check inside the zip for the updater.script and make sure it says ext4 instead of ext3 before installing.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] philburkhardt:
It hasn't been pulled, I just checked.

That's weird :confused: Samurai was the first game it tried. The only problem I ever had was with the combo menu, and a reinstall of the game fixed that.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] Ronin3178:
Does anyone in the thread have the modified build.prop for the HTC/Vision so that netflix works? Just wondering if that may make it not show up.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] ansleyj44:
I do. I had it before I installed this... Maybe you have to do the market fix afterwards?
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] philburkhardt:
I have my build.prop spoofing a Galaxy Tab:

ro.product.model=SPH-P100

ro.product.manfacturer=samsung

I was having issues purchasing apps using Vision or Gaxy S build.props, so I switched to the Galaxy Tab and all has been well since. No market issues, and Netflix still works. I have also been doing a lot of messing around with Gameloft games, trying to get them to work. From what I have seen Galaxy Tab versions look the best. Using it's build.prop lets me download that version right from the Gameloft store.

Don't know if it will help you, but it might be worth a shot.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] Ronin3178:
What version of CM7 are you on? I am currently flashing that change to RC0 .32 kernel with the 5/23 OC. If Netflix doesn't work properly, I will d/l Sam2 if it shows up and go back to HTC/Vision.

EDIT 1 : Netflix still works on the .32 kernel w/o chipmunking. Had to reinstall Chainfires drivers. Nope, still can't find the game in the market..... grrr
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] ansleyj44:
Total shot in the dark here, but what version of gapps did you install?

I have no idea if that would effect anything, but it's the only other thing I can think of
