Chainfire3D allows you to play Tegra, Snapdragon & PowerVR games on Samsung Galaxy S II with ARM Mali-400 MP GPU. However, by installing Chainfire3D itself does not allow you to play these games yet.

Not a simple task for beginner, so I created a step by step guide to install Chainfire3D on Samsung Galaxy S2.

One of the greatness of Android is open source standard but it is also a curse ~ fragmentation. This fragmentation is not only happened in software but in hardware too. Android phone manufacturers can create own hardware and software standard. There are currently 3 popular gaming platforms used by Android phones ~ Tegra, Snapdragon and PowerVR. PowerVR is being used by phone like Samsung Galaxy S and Motorola Droid. Snapdragon is a platform from Qualcomm and it is used by HTC Sensation and Sony Ericsson Xperia Play. And finally Tegra from NVIDIA is used by LG Optimus 2X and Samsung Galaxy Z. The powerful Samsung Galaxy S II is using another GPU from ARM ~ Mali-400 MP. However, it cannot run games that designed for Tegra, Snapdragon and PowerVR. Luckily, there is a hack to enable Samsung Galaxy S2 to play Tegra, Snapdragon and PowerVR games…

Yeah… Sapphire HD5870 Vapor-X 1GB will be my next 3D card. Why? I cannot get good performance with my old Sapphire ATI Radeon HD 4870 Silent Efficiency 512MB on Battlefield Bad Company 2 even with middle quality setting. It’s time to change a new 3D card in coming PIKOM PC Fair. Hopefully, the trouble NVIDIA GeForce 400 series like GeForce 470 and GeForce 480 (Fermi series) come out by then and can reduce the ATI display card price a bit. Sapphire HD5870 Vapor-X 1GB is hanging at RM1399 for quite some time…
Yes. There is another great action game that you cannot miss ~ Batman Arkham Asylum. The game play and graphics are awesome. Even better than Resident Evil 5 in game play but I prefer Resident Evil 5 movie. Too bad that Nvidia marketing tactics disabled the MSAA setting for all the ATI 3D cards. I cannot turn on 4XAA in Batman Arkham Asylum with ATI Radeon HD 4870. Anyway, I don’t notice much on it during game play. So who care? Batman Arkham Asylum is still a great game. 
As usual, Microsoft makes this game work only with its XBOX 360 controller. So if you don’t have XBOX 360 controller, be sure to download XBOX 360 controller emulator to play Batman Arkham Asylum with your own gamepad.
