[Q] Riptide GP on Chainfire 3d - Samsung Epic 4G Touch

Hello,
Long time lurker, first time poster here. I recently switched from the Evo 4g to the Epic 4g touch after a year of proud ownership.
Cutting to the chase, I am unable to get past the rider select for Riptide GP using Chainfire 3d (latest version and PRO from marketplace). I am running starburst rom, on stock I cannot even get it to boot the game whatsoever and Chainfire in general doesn't seem to play nice with stock (the app, not the developer)
Has anyone had success in getting this game to work with this exact device? I also have the shaders installed as well as the plugins, so I didn't make a careless mistake. If you are able to run the game please, shed some light on the solution for me. Thank you

Try changing both per-app and default opengl settings to nvidia. And make sure you have the version 2 of the riptide shader file installed.

Riptide file shader?

Do i need chainfire 3d pro to set opengl to nvida
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium

Can someone walk me through this process
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium

no... u need to first download and install 3 pluggins one being the nvida. only then, u can set the default opengl to nvidia.

u need to download the following plugins including the shader zip file i posted above. move all 4 files to root of your sdcard.
launch chainfire3d and click on install plugins/shaders. after a brief search, you should see all four files listed. click individual files to install all four.
once you have them installed, you should be able to change the default opengl settings to nvidia. enjoy!

Thank you for your gracious replies, I have followed advice on trying to set default to Nvidia as well. I am also using the updated shaders as advised. I still have it crash back to Chainfire at rider selection. Anyone have any other ideas as to what this could be caused by? I have also tried it with ViperRom just now, same issue. Thank you kindly

have you configured per-app opengl settings as well? i actually had to set both default and per-app opengl settings to nvidia to get pass the rider screen.
once you set the default to nvida, click on per-app opengl settings and select riptide to change it's opengl settings to nvidia.
if that doesn't work for you then try uninstalling shader file from chainfire3d and reinstall. (launch chainfire3d->manage plugins/shaders->click com.vectorunit.blue)

Nope, have the same. tried V1 and V2, both same thing, almost loads but then just exits. Maybe its the ROM.

Mine goes to load after selecting course/rider and goes back to the home screen. Using stock deodex rom with AIOmod.
Not sure whats up with this, got Shadowgun to work.

umm... not sure why but Market says "chainfire3d is not supported for my device" (epic touch) am i missing something here?
Edit 10/31
Found out the problem, had something to do with the LCD Density. Was running at 200 and that cause the problems with the market. Change to 160 and all is smooth!

Latest update fixed it for me, works great!

Try reinstalling it with your phone in Airplane mode (no WiFi or data connection), launch the app, let it download the data (it will enable the required connection) then you should be away laughing...

Are most of your textures blank white?

Indeed. As a matter of course i install ROM manager, even if there is no support yet for my phone, and always run the 'fix permissions' option. It seems to greatly reduce these sort of failures.

[MOD] Tegra 2 Nvidia/PowerVr Plug-Ins

I did not write this. I got this idea from ssserpentine and used it for the Galaxy Tab. Wanted to see if it worked for the MT4G and it does. I have been playing Fruit Ninja all day.
Many thanks to ChainFire for writing this awsome program...... Chainfire3d
visit thread here...., Don't forget to hit HIS THANKS button while there.
What you need.....
To be ROOTED!!!! YEP thats pretty much it.
Go to the Market and download "[ROOT] ChainFire 3D". You can use the Free version, or just go ahead and chalk up the $4 for the paid version.
Download the Nividia Lib from the bottom of this post. Put on /sdcard/
Install CF3D Driver by clicking Install/upgrade/ uninstall CF3D driver.
Then Set the CF3D as the Driver. It will run a script and reboot.
Open Chainfire3D:
Install Plugin
(will search your /sdcard/ and show
Install Plugin
libGLEMU_NVIDIA.zip
/
Click the Nivida Plug-in. It will install it. When you see plug-in install complete. Press back button, and select
Default OpenGL Settings.
Click: Use plugin. Select Nvidia. Exit !
Now go to the Market and Search for Tegra Zone.
When you install a game (this happened to me, may not happen to you) Feint will try to open like 4 x's and give you an error. Just close them. Then the game itself will say its taking a while to load do you want to FC or Wait. I just hit wait and the games opens right up from there.
Install Tegra Zone from market.
Now you can download and play Tegra2 Zone games on your Mytouch 4G without getting the dreaded "Hardware not supported error"
NOTE: NOT ALL GAMES WILL WORK AS THEY ACTUALLY NEED THE TEGRA2 TO RUN. MOST JUST RUN OFF THE NVIDIA HD DRIVER.
DO NOT PURCHASE BANG BANG RACING!!!!!! It needs specific hardware that cannot be emulated at this point.
Confirmed working:
Samauri II
Riptide
Pinball thd
Fruit ninja thd
Backbreaker thd
If somebody has a .so decompiler until my lappy is working right, Can you please open the Nvidia.so and tweak it for the mytouch. Did seem like the games not running at max to me.
Thank you very much to Rogabean for the PowerVR Plug-in.
Now we have power VR.
Known working:
Madden 11
TY!
Thank you for the plugin! You should post some pix of some Tegra 2 games just for kicks.
Awesome do Tegra 2 games on our device look any different from regular versions of them? Like fruit ninja, for example?

I think the big ones like Samuri II does. But Fruit Ninja. I guess looks about the same.
This is prob more for getting the THD Games that you wouldn't normally be able to get on the MT4G because of unsupported device.

IT's against XDA rules to discuss or post warez. So i would suggest using the Tegra Zone to get your games.
All games say the requested item not found. What's up with that?

I don't understand the question.. Tegra Zone saying you cannot download a game? Or the game is not working when you install it.
1: Make sure you installed the plug-in exactly like i posted
2: Make sure you are not trying to download a game that has not come out yet from Tegra Zone.
Tegra Zone will not work on our phones even with the Plugin, you would have to download whatever THD games are on the market or google if warez is what you are looking for

Pinball is working perfectly on my glacier running 7.0.0 I haven't tried any other games but when my wife saw it she wanted it too, shes on the nexus s and it also worked on that just fine so ty for the thread
Glad it helping everyone out. I have the source code for the powervr plug-in. But don't know of any games other then Lets Golf 2 that need it. But that game runs fine on my MT4G anyway. So if more stuff comes out i'll compile the plug-in then.

Sorry without the Nvidia plugin it will tell you that your device is not supported. Adding the plugin fixes that and you are right its just an app that will direct you to the Market to download games so its kinda pointless.
Another thing, the Android Market comes in multiple versions, all depending on the device. we use the hdpi market, which used to have everything until the Tegra 2 market came along, which had everything plus Tegra 2 only games. Can we install that version of the market to grab some Tegra 2 games as well?

Default screen density and market app incompatible

Can anyone tell me what the default stock screen density is on desire z? Ice had it changed for so long I can't remember what it is. I need to know due to market incompatibility issues when trying to get apps. Does anyone also know a fix for that at all? Something to stop it checking compatibility?
Default screen density is 240 i fixed the combatility issue by installing the old market... But maybe there is a better fix

where can i get the old market from without having to raid my backup.
any idea if there is a way i can install both versions on my phone?
thats the guide i used:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1231358
i´m not sure if it destroys your market backup, but you could use my backup root or something similar...
i have no idea how it would be possible to install both versions...
cheers man
I use LCD Density Changer to drop down to 190. When I want to update apps in the market that are incompatible I use it to temporarily go back upto 240. Clear Data from the market app in Settings and next time you open it the apps should install fine. Then reboot and your resolution will revert back to 190.
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA App
I think you only need to clear market data once...
1. reset LCD to 240
2. clear market data and restart market so it stores your new resolution
3. reset LCD to 190 and market should continue to work
I am using the latest version of Market (v3.3.11) and it works great at pixel densities of 190, 191, 200, and 210
(I am using the G-lite 1.07 ROM)

Not for me, I'm on FreeGS3 R3 and it works better than my Snes emulator does
I use FPSE on a regular basis. It doesn't work as flawlessly as it does on Tegra devices, but it's certainly solid.
If you have it installed, try the following steps.
1. Go to manage apps, and clear data.
2. Uninstall
3. Re-install from the market
4. Upon opening, the app will ask you for a bios. You should already have the bios downloaded. If not, I have attached it. Remember to drop the .7z from the file extension. XDA won't let me upload it without this.
5. Before opening any games, hit back a couple of times until you get to a white screen, then hit it again to bring up the menu.
6. Switch to OpenGL before you do anything else. You lose some compatibility, but the difference with 3D games is staggering. Do this by going into CONFIG>MISC>SWITCH TO OPEN GL>DOWNLOAD FROM INTERNET. The app will need to restart. You can skip this step if you want, but your graphics will be dramatically better.
7. Open the app again. Once again press back until you have navigated to the menu. Do this before doing anything else. Change the following settings:
SYSTEM>
Check Fastboot on. This will skip the playstation boot up screen. The other settings in that option do nothing for the GS3 that I can tell.
AUDIO>
Check spusync, and enhance sound emulation. This will improve the sound, but if your game stutters or won't load, then you may want to choose null sound plugin. No sound, but better compatibility.
VIDEO>
I only leave 2 things checked here. Frameskip checked, with framelimiter UN-checked. Then check special framelimiter farther down. Leave everything else un-checked.
9. Configure the gamepad using gamepad. This will be personal preference, so no tutorial here.
10. Go to MISC>Save config as default
You should be good to go. Remember that it's important to not have corrupted ISO's. Also, video settings will stay the same across all games. Sound settings, and gamepad settings that are changed once a game is loaded, will be specific to that game.
If you can't get your game to load, try another one. If you can't get any to load, then you may be having a different issue. Hope that helps.
mine works fine, on cm10. stock settings. try downloading a new bios
