Apologies to anyone who felt wrongly accused of piracy. I am well aware that the combo menu does not work for many people on initial install (myself included) however a re-install appears to fix the issue (did for me) however this does not appear to be the case with some of the pirated version, which is why when searching the darker corners of the internet one can find versions that state "combo menu fixed".

EDIT: In other news, I really wish the tablet version of Plants vs. Zombies worked on the Nook. The graphics on the free Amazon version just aren't awe inspiring on the Nook.

Cant play cordy or riptide yet...??

I downloaded Chainfire app(free)..installed the plugins, cleared cache and dalvik..im running Cm7.02-encore @1.3ghz OC. Everything is working great no problems....butttt i can't play any games. All the games are coming up in the market as well...so no probs there....I downloaded the riptide demo to see what its like.....anddd OF COURSE it doesnt work.bummer. I saw back a while ago someone posted to download cordy and try that with the qualcomm plugin....did that but the game doesnt load. Not sure what to do next? is it my cm7 build or kernel? do i need to buy the paid version of chainfire?

Both riptide demo and cordy open, but its just a black screen and then it goes right back to my home screen as if nothing happened. Let me know if you can help! Thanks guyssss NC 4 lifeeee hah

It is not optimized for Tegra. It only contains an inquiry Tegra present yes/no.

So it is no wonder it works on all "normal" android devices.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] Gin1212:
All right, let me restate my original comment, the game was created with the intentions of a different GPU and CPU running the game. It's great that our device can play the game, it really is, but when it comes down to it they're restricting the game to keep it off phones that aren't anywhere capable of playing this game.

And that's what I was saying, merely that our GPU and CPU aren't exactly optimal when compared to the hardware they expect these games to run on.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] gallahad2000:
Dude, we have the same GPU as the Droid X. I mean B&N went well above and beyond to give us good hardware at a low price. I don't understand how they can afford to do it (but I'm sure glad they did).
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] luciferii:
you know how much the hardware in the nook costs when bought in bulk? less than 50 dollars a unit im sure.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] Gin1212:
*Shrugs* Last I checked, Droid X was replaced by newer technology =\. I never said that our GPU was utter crap or anything like that. I merely said it wasn't "optimal" =\.

Maybe you misread what I said, I was making a point that first generation android phones and the like, would be unable to play this game. Hell... Even some of cheap android phones that have come out in the last year, may not be able to play these games.

That said... We have a long way until Android/Ipod games start really competing in the video game market. However, there hasn't been any really really good rpgs since psx and snes, so if they could just release some good story based games =\.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] gallahad2000:
Sorry if I overreacted, it's just that a lot of people assume that since the NC was intended to be an ebook reader B&N dropped some crappy PD Novel-level hardware in it. Have you tried Dungeon Hunter, Pocket Legends, Eternal Legacy or Sacred Odyssey? There's some pretty decent RPGs on the android platform (not to mention the PSX and SNES emulators).
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] philburkhardt:
No worries! I am glad we have such strong anti-piracy views in this thread. :)

...I think what he was getting at with his initial comment (correct me if I am wrong Gin1212), was that it isn't surprising that random issues/bug popup in games from time to time. Seeing as the game was never intended to run on our device. Not that the nook is incapable by any means.

I agree, there is a pretty good collection of RPGs amassing. I am pretty psyched for Blackstar (new one by Pocket Legends folks). I don't know if it's your type of game, but if you really wanna see what our nooks can do, give Riptide a whirl. All I can say is WHOA!
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] Gin1212:
Correct.

No worries, my original post was really that I was just a little upset that Martian would assume piracy to explain the bugs. Rather than considering that the nook wasn't intended to run the game from the start.

Pocket Legends if I'm not mistaken is an MMORPG, and I just can't get into those. Dungeon Hunter's not bad. Sacred Oddysey is something I'm going to look at. Eternal Legacy I've only played on my Ipod Touch, and didn't like it.

*Shrugs* completely off-topic, but I'm just dissapointed in the quality of games lately. I guess I should mention I'm more of a fan of Japanese Rpgs. Games like Chrono Trigger, FF7-FF9, the .hack games were really good.

Yeah, I've been playing a bit here and there, really impressed by it and Samurai II! Graphics wise, I really don't see a reason why tablets couldn't easily overtake portable video game systems in the future.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] gallahad2000:
Check out asphalt 6 HD, the intro video in that could easily be from a modern PC game. The game itself is beautiful but it's not quite up to the same level as the intro (as often is the case).
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] EverythingNook:
i cant find asphalt 6 in the market for some reason.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] AEBobby912:
Got it!

:p I finally got the plug-ins to work. Updated to CM 87n with the most recent kernel and now everything works (riptide demo and cordy now working)! I just downloaded the Dungeon Defenders game so i gotta try that on the qualcomm, but should be amazingggggg....whats everyones fav game thats working right now? The Samauri 2 game looks pretty sweet!

Bobby:rolleyes:
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] gallahad2000:
It's a gameloft game, they don't let most of them on the market. You also have to find a patched .apk to get it to work on the NC (after you buy the game from gameloft).
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] Dhyneland:
I installed chainfire 3d, installed the 3 plugins. And am not seeing Samurai 2 in the market. If I go to the Android web market I can see it but when I try to buy it says this item is not compatible. Any ideas?

EDIT: Nevermind, purchased pro version of CF3D and did the fix market settings. Downloading Samurai 2 as we speak..
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] nolook:
isnt the intro just a movie? its not real time?
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] martian21:
Yes it is, but It still looks sweet!
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] Blue6IX:
Wow. I had really wanted to play guerrilla bob, but couldn't get it to work on my nook. Then comes this thread.

I got the free version of C3d, and the game just ran right out of the box.

Phiremod 6.2 on racks' image (who I see's been in here, which is probably why - thanks!)

Running from sdcard, not overclocked.

I upgraded to C3d pro and fixed the market settings, everything runs great.

The game was as fun as I thought it would be, and it was worth the cost of C3d to make it happen, especially with the potential this app opens my nook up to.

Fantastic app, great thread, thanks for this!
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] racks11479:
Amazing what our Nooks can do. :D Wait till you try out Samuraii Warrior, that game is freakin awesome! Money well spent. :)

-Racks
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] luciferii:
the other night the chainfire3d app had an update and i had to refix the market and since then my cpu runs at 100% no matter what and the market force closes every other time.. anyone have this problem?

edit: i fixed it by clearing the market cache..

also ive found that the game "my paper airplane 2 3D" works great now that chainfire3D is installed, without it the game fails to work.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] Omega Ra:
Okay, where do I put the plugins so that the app see them? it doesn't see my three plugins. I have them in a folder called plugins on the root of my device atm...
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] gallahad2000:
put the .zip files on your sd card somewhere (not the .so files, it doesn't see those)
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] Omega Ra:
that worked thanks! I was putting it on the root of the nook, not the SD
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] EverythingNook:
for asphalt 6 i keep getting different errors when im trying to download the 29mb of extra memory
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] Blue6IX:
Quoted for truth.

I wasn't going to come back and post about just another game working that most other people have confirmed in this thread, but...

Samurai 2 has to be the most amazing, visually impressive and immersive game i've seen on a touch device. I bought it from amazon about 6 hours ago, and haven't been able to put it down.

I dound and downloaded the plug in. Chainfire found it right away, installed and activated in the menu without a hitch.

I tried the game first, and it said device not supported. I tried the game with the plug in, and have been sucked into a vortex of enjoyment.

Chainfire is a work of art.

Playing from an sd-card install of android, and only get the tiniest bit of lag when the first few baddies spawn in a new game, after that I haven't had a problem. My device isn't overclocked.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] seth.i.simmons:
I can't believe how amazing graphically and gameplay wise that game is, it just blows my mind that I'm playing that on what was originally intended for just flipping through the pages of a book or browsing the web a little.

Samurai 2 is by far the best game I've seen for any Android or iOS device, and is a must buy! It's worth it, trust me.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] Ronin3178:
Ok, found part of the problem for why I can't get Samurai 2 on my Nook, or even find it in the market. I looked it up the Market website, signed in, and I could d/l to my OG Droid and my Nook showed up as this "HTC Visionro.product.brand=bn" and it says this isn't compatible. I think this is because of incorrect editing of the build.prop for Netflix. What does everyone else have in their build.prop that has Sam 2?
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] seth.i.simmons:
I'm using device=Vision and Manufacturer=HTC. It looks like your biuld.prop is messed up, it looks like in "HTC Visionro.product.brand=bn" you accidentally backspaced the ro.product.brand into the device=Vision line. I would check that, fix it, and then try again.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] dennisi01:
i installed chainfire 3D and samurai II - and lost deep sleep? running n87 and dal's OC kernal.. any ideas? is there a way i can find out why my nook isn't sleeping anymore?
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] philburkhardt:
Multiple people are having deep sleep issues. It doesn't have anything to do with Chainfire. If you comb through the development threads you will find more info.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] dennisi01:
this seems to have been caused by Samurai 2 - as soon as i uninstalled it, deep sleep resumed. weird!
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] EverythingNook:
ok i have a huge problem. i have the zips on the sd, chainfire is updated and everything, i have the nividia plugin selected, but when i try to play samurai 2 or fruit ninja hd it says "this device isnt supported" then crashes. this just started today any help!?
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] gallahad2000:
Did you go into OpenGL settings and "Use" the plugin? Took me an hour to figure out you had to do that after "installing" the plugin to make it active.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] EverythingNook:
ya i already did that
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] Ronin3178:
Did you use the per app settings or the general settings?
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] EverythingNook:
what do you mean by that?
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] philburkhardt:
Very weird! Deep sleep is touch and go for me. Sometimes my nook will sleep and the battery barely moves; other times it won't sleep and the battery just drains while it is sitting there with the screen off.

I personally don't worry too much about such things. It's the nature of running a nightly. The issues always get worked out.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] philburkhardt:
Question: Have you fixed your permissions recently?

I fixed my permissions the other day, and had the same issue you are having now. I cleared cache & dalvik, then reinstalled the ROM. Everything worked again after that.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] EverythingNook:
yes i did. i have to reflash everything? if i wipe the dalvik what happens?
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] philburkhardt:
Wiping dalvik is fine. It get's rebuilt on the first boot after the ROM is flashed. You won't lose any data. ROM Manager can be kinda screwy when wiping dalvik, so I use Root Explorer to delete it.

Here let's do this:

1) From Root Explorer navigate to /cache/dalvik-cache

2) Hit menu

3) Hit Multi-select

4) Choose Select All

5) Delete

6) Back out of the cache folder

7) Go into /data/dalvik-cache and repeat steps 2 through 5

8) Hold the power button down and choose reboot into recovery without exiting Root Eplorer

9) From recovery, Wipe the cache partition (don't wipe data or system or anything else)

10) Install ROM + anything else you usually install (Kernel, alternative u-boot, whatever)

That should set you straight without messing anything up. Oh, and then you will have to reinstall the chainfire driver.

I think the next time I need to fix permissions I will backup my games and data; then uninstall them + chainfire. Then reinstall them afterwards.

I hope that wasn't too long winded. Good luck!
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] EverythingNook:
what the heck i wiped both cache and dalvik. i installed n87 the 5/23/11 and fattries uboot, and i installed the thing for chainfire and picked the nvidia plugin. im still getting the "your device isnt supported"
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] Ronin3178:
In the options when you open the app, right under Default Open GL settings, there is a Per-app setting, pick the app and then choose the settings for it there.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] EverythingNook:
dont have pro ):

edit: i reinstalled the app and its working now.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] philburkhardt:
Nice! Glad it's working again. I was pretty frustrated when it happened to me the other night.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] EverythingNook:
ya, here i was trying to show the game off to my family only for it to not work. how embarrassing! thanks for the help
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] newellj79:
I gave up on this but maybe u guys can help. Twice I installed this appand the plug-ins. Both times it completely corrupted my SD card. I never seen anything like it. I had to format the card and start over. Any ideas? I'd love to be able to play these games. Thanks. PS, no I did not read all 25 pages of this thread.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] TDO:
If you want help you have to give some informations.

What version of chainfire did you use?

What Android are you running on your Nook - version and where MMC or SD.

....
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] newellj79:
The version currently available from the market. Cm7, n91, emmc, oc'd @ 1.2/600 conservative.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] Gin1212:
May just be the specific SD card, as bad as that sounds. As i've yet to run into any issues or hear of anyone that had something similar happen to them.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] newellj79:
Thought it was weird, I'd never seen anything like it. Once I reformat the card all is well. I guess ill stay away from this for now. :(
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] Jasper_Ward:
i actually noticed that the permissions on SD went a bit wonkey after using chainfire for awhile, but copying all the files off of SD, and reformat, then files back seemed to work fine
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] Ronin3178:
Problem with Dungeon Defenders on N91

Video is screwy on N91, it actually plays the intro videos just fine, but the start menu is all out of whack. I double checked my settings (pro version) and everything is as it should be. anyone else have this problem or not on N91 or higher?
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] philburkhardt:
Which version are you running?

I am on n94, running the Qualcomm version. Everything looks great. I have the Reduce texture quality box checked, and it is running the smoothest I have seen so far.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] Ronin3178:
I was set to Qual "per app" for Dungeon, went to NVidia, and its working normally. Haven't updated to N94 yet, but on N91, Qual doesnt work even with the reduce texture checked. My CF3D app is upto date as far as market shows, Chainfire Pro v1.8
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] philburkhardt:
I think the plugin has to match the data. You must have the Tegra data. I tried all three, and the Qualcomm one seems to work the best for me.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] luciferii:
i installed the new update to 1.9 today and now it supports shaders.. only question, what do they do and where does one obtain them?

Ug....they aren't something you "obtain"...

[Nook Color Themes and Apps] philburkhardt:
They are for Chainfire. Links to Riptide & Backbreaker THD shaders are here:

...but it looks like they were tweaked with the Galaxy S in mind.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] Gin1212:
Was about to say... I mean riptide runs awesome and I haven't had any problems with "cube mapping."
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] TDO:
Was already posted and they are for the SGS II.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] poofyhairguy:
Backbreaker THD works fine for me.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] philburkhardt:
The link wasn't the point. I was pointing out they existed. It was a response to a specific post.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] philburkhardt:
Yeah, Riptide also works fine for me. No extra tweaks involved.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] :
Are these games even any good? :P
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] poofyhairguy:
Samurai II: Vengeance is the best game on the platform IMHO.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] seth.i.simmons:
By far the best game I've seen for Android so far. Wish it was longer, but definitely still worth the money.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] schtuka:
nevermind. figured it out
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] nolook:
any other games in the samurai 2 quality?
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] blackwarrior1979:
I learn something new every day with this thing. Thanks all for this!
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] AEBobby912:
what games next?

Yeah, Samarai is amazingggg, im on the last level now woohooo. Whats the next good game coming out? Galaxy on Fire looked pretty amazing, hopefully we can get it to work, but im sure we can!
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] philburkhardt:
Shadowgun, the new game coming from Madfinger (the Samurai II folks) looks crazy awesome. It's looks kinda like Gears of War.

Here's some info:

http://droidgamers.com/index.php/ga...hadowgun-from-madfinger-games-serious-visuals
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] AEBobby912:
WOWWWWW awesome....looks exactly like gears of war....im impressed, ill def be getting that game. Is there any other games through nvidia right now that are working for the NC that are worth buying?
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] philburkhardt:
Unfortunately (for my wallet) I have an addiction. I buy them all!!! I'm going to be getting a Galaxy Tab 10.1 pretty soon, so it doesn't matter if I buy it and it won't work on the nook :D.

But, to answer your question. Guerilla Bob THD is pretty cool, not much different than the regular version other than the graphics. There are no other action games that I know of. Most of the other Tegra games seem to be racers. If you like racers, do yourself a favor and grab Riptide. The gameplay is good, and the graphics are console quality.

I'm waiting for some nice Tegra RPG's!
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] AEBobby912:
Yea Riptide looked pretty cool, im not super into racers though, but ims ure ill buy that one. What nightly do you have now thats working with the Tegra plugins??....i have n87, which i got because you had it before and it worked with the plugins...just wondering because i want to keep it up-to-date as possible;)
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] philburkhardt:
I'm a flashaholic, I'm always on the latest nightly ;).

I'm on n102 right now. As soon as I finish my modifications, I will be flashing n103.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] AEBobby912:
n102 is working fine with the plugins and is pretty stable? Ill flash that later today if it is then back to samurai 2!
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] philburkhardt:
Yeah, everything seems stable. There was an update to the Chainfire driver today, too.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] EverythingNook:
im on 103, everything is working fine.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] AEBobby912:
Yeah i just got 102 and updated to the 6/13 kernel...its great! Now im waiting for the new RPGS and beating Samurai 2!
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] seth.i.simmons:
Hmm, I was running Samurai 2 great, but now it FC's for me every time. Could someone attach their plugins, so I could try them? Maybe mine are outdated or something. Thanks in advance!
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] AEBobby912:
Did you update the ROM? or did it just stop working? I know chainfire updated today and i had to install the driver again and reboot, but everything is working fine for me on the 102n. I can attach the plugins if needed if you cant solve it:D
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] philburkhardt:
We can't post plugins here, legality issues regarding distributing Nvidia's stuff. You have to Google them. I can tell you that the only ones that show up when I Google them are the same ones I am using.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] philburkhardt:
Please don't!!! Not trying to be a jerk, I just don't want to see the thread go there.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] philburkhardt:
FYI, in case this interests any of you.

Here is a file from the original Chainfire thread. The note from Chainfire states:

Attached is a zip file containing some information "by example" on how to build plugins. Read the README.TXT file!
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] seth.i.simmons:
Sorry about that, should have thought that through! Ill try some more to fix it. Thanks for the help.

Oh, and I'm on N103, running the 061311 kernel.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] racks11479:
I'm so sad :(

I've ben playing Samurai II , then yesterday I saw an update for Chainfire3D Pro, so I went ahead and updated, and boom it installed and rebooted on me without allowing me to open up the app to upgrade the drivers. And then all my apps went wonky. A whole lot of FC's everywhere. So I decided to reflash my rom. I even tried the clearing of dalvik-caches in /cache and /data. All my Tegra games now FC instantly. Logcat is telling me that it is unable to load libmono.so, although the file exists in the correct location.

So frustrating, tried uninstalling and reinstalling all the games, even upgraded Chainfire succesfully to the latest and still no dice!!!

Sigh****

Any ideas would be much appreciated.

Thanks,

[Nook Color Themes and Apps] philburkhardt:
Whoa :confused:. I don't know what that's all about. The update went fine for me. You are running off of SD, right? Could something have been corrupted on the SD card side? That's all I can think of. I sincerely hope you get it worked out.

.....my next post is gonna kill ya.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] philburkhardt:
Galaxy on Fire 2 works!!!

Galaxy on Fire 2 was released for Tegra devices today, for FREE! :D

.....and......(drum roll)...it works on our nooks!

I only played a few minutes, but it was pretty nice. I might play around with the settings to see what works best, but it worked fine at default settings.

Take that Xperia Play! Galaxy on Fire 2 is $11 for the Play. Free for me on my "Tegra" nook.
