Haha thanks for the suggestion! I actually just started playing a couple more...Enchanted Realm, and Inotia 3. A llittle laggy at times, but nothing unplayable. I also tried playing Triple Town (which works fine on my phone), but it gets too laggy on my NC.

Anyone else have any suggestions for those fun build a town/farm/castle/etc. type games that don't require internet connection or a ton of friends to advance? I typically play them while I'm at work :P Oh, and would anyone happen to know if I would be able to connect my NC to my PC at work and then use the internet from the computer? There's no wifi nearby :(

Another free and great one that I tried today Radiant Defense by Hexage https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.hexage.defense . A build prop edit is necessary to install from google play or it can be obtained via alternate sources. I did the latter.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] bigrat:
So, I got Chainfire3d working, with the requisite plugins, also did the IMEI framework.jar/Galaxy Tab build.prop changes. Lots of games working great now.

I should note that my Nook remains unrooted, just running off the SD card - this makes build.prop changes a pain in the rear since it seems you have to use terminal to mount /system, or set up adb (which I haven't done).

Asphalt 5 remains an issue because of the screen sizing. Is there any way to get Asphalt 5 to work without setting the the DPI to something ridiculous like 240 (which takes a reboot for every change, too)? I currently have the dpi to the default (169.3333, I think). Aside from that it runs pretty nicely.

For some reason, it says that n.o.v.a. 3 isn't compatible with my device. I'm currently running cm9 nightly. Is this a kernel issue, and if so, what kernel would you recommend flashing? Thanks.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] explorer-10:
You have to edit the build.prop file found in /system folder. Change the ro.product.model to GT-I9000 and ro.product.brand to samsung. Make sure you backup the original file before making changes, after that, reboot and try redownloading the files. That's how I got asphalt 6 working. You can try GT-I9020 too for the model if you want.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] RASTAVIPER:
Are you sure that the change that you propose won't affect other apps of the nook?

Also, a friend just clued me in to Crusade of Destiny. It's an offline 3D RPG. Kind of looks, works, and feels like WoW. Worth checking out.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] philburkhardt:
Whoa, Crusade of Destiny looks great on the nook!!! Thanks for reminding me of it. I bought it for my EVO a long time ago. It was still in the early stages, and I didn't leave it on my phone for long.

Now that I have seen it on the nook, I am going to have to give it another shot. It looks awesome, and the controls work really well. If they have filled out the content since the last time I played it, this could be one of my favs.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] doctorded:
Where are you peeps gettinng the NOVA and HAWX? I tried to buy from gameloft without any luck? I want to get NOVA HD (galaxy tab version) but can't find it?

I'm tried market and gameloft without any luck. I have been from google to yahoo.com search, and no answers.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] mrmojoz:
Can you fine folks see Gun Bros in the market on your Nook? Mine is unable to. :(

I have the Sprint EVO 4G so if I buy from Gun Bros then transfer the apk it will working nicely on nook?
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] philburkhardt:
I have an EVO too, that's where I pulled the apk from.

Gun Bros is a free beta. Just download it from the market and grab the apk from your phone. That worked for me.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] bruceleroyjr:
beehiveblack,

I'm having problems replying back to your private message. I'm not sure if the system is filtering out my email with the link. To answer your question, I had the same problems like you with a different APK and then I finally found the "TAB version" of Spiderman. You can find it from the Mobilism website. Hopefully, this information is alright to share. Good luck!

[Nook Color Themes and Apps] destrekor:
Would anyone like to actually describe the best way to get Gameloft games?

Specifically, if a specific app version is best, and which device-specific install would be best.

For games like NOVA and Dungeon Hunters, would the Galaxy Tab version be best?

Would I just pay for it at gameloft and have them send a link to my Droid?

Are these games actually device-specific for the install, account-specific, or are the simply only allowed to be activated once? Hell, is there an activation process or anything?

I've heard great things about their games, but their half-baked method of purchase/delivery leaves me worried about wasting money.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] philburkhardt:
Legitimately purchased Gameloft games can be purchased and re-downloaded on the SAME DEVICE for 3 years.

That is directly from Gameloft customer support last week. I had a HUGE issue them.

If you download it to your phone and pull the apk, it won't play on anything else. The copies people have on their nooks are technically against Gameloft's terms, even if they purchased the game legitimately on their phone. I'm not scolding anyone, just shootin' facts.

In answer to which version,..yes the tab versions are going to work best.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] destrekor:
So, getting versions that will play on the NC, are they thus unable to get multiplayer features? Or, will that still strangely work?

I officially hate gameloft now. Even though their games may be great (based on popular opinion), they run their operation like fools.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] norkoastal:
I agree with you completely... Way too frustrating to deal with their crap, especially if you switch ROMs frequently.. Last night I played Sandstorm via wifi between my evo and NC.. **edit** Online multiplayer works too..

Nova 3.1.3 tab version reentered work on the NC, not even on nookie froyo. I think its because of the gyroscope support on the tab, so the game spazzes out when it doesn't find it.

Oh yeah and dungeon defenders runs horribly! How CA you people bare it? It sucks even with the overclock, and the interface is cut off everywhere since its designed for the ipads 4:3 screen.

Gameloft games are mostly not worth it, if you try all of them you'll get a few of them to work. And since they offer no refunds you're screwed when they don't. Not that it's much better with the market games that put you through 15min downloads before you can play.

[Nook Color Themes and Apps] gallahad2000:
Because the market screens out apps that it doesn't think will run on your device, appbrain market is a good way to see additional apps. There is also an app called market enabler which allows you to see additional apps on the standard market (by telling the market you're on a different device).

[Nook Color Themes and Apps] mike96789:
For POCKET LEGENDS, I downloaded the game straight from the site I posted earlier. I then installed the .apk and tried to start it, but it was a little slow to start so I decided to restart the entire nook (hold power and press turn off). When the nook restarted I was able to play the game. Be sure that you have your WiFi enabled and that it is actually connected to the internet before starting the game, if not the game might freeze before its starts.

Have fun, I wasted 8 hours of my life playing this on my nookcolor. Enjoy!

Alright alright, so I don't REALLY think everyone's lying- i am just dumbfoudned at how I can try several apk's and not ONE of them will work. And to be honest- if they'd just break right when I launch it, I'd be less irritated. But it's getting real old getting excited as the game D/L's its files, then black screens on me after flashing the really vibrant HD picture during the D/L process.

[Nook Color Themes and Apps] markiejones:
I think the best bet for these are through emulation of GBA, NES, SNES and Megadrive. Being turn-based, the inherent difficulties with on-screen gamepads become less of an issue.

To play these (in case you don't already know):

1. Own the original cartridge

2. Get rom gripper

3. Use that to locate the rom you want, and to install the trial version of the emulator.

4. If you like the game and want to save progress, you'll have to get the paid version of respctive emulator.
