Hi chaps....

I did do a search to see if there was anything on here that covered the subject of whether a game will or wont work, or possible workarounds.

I would like to get the ball rolling with :

The Secret of Grisley Manor by http://www.firemaplegames.com

A google search will give the apk required 😉

Game install fine, can be pushed to SDcard, Looks great on the arny 10G2, ..... but oh dear, the "Status bar" does not go away so anything thats readable in the top area is below the status bar,....

The Lost City by http://www.firemaplegames.com

(Same problem as above).

Angry Birds, "Status bar" doesn't cause a problem and game works fine.

What do the Mods think of this request and would anyone else like to comment.....

all the best chaps

this is a good idea it could serve as a database for known issues relating to specific apps and devices i think theres little point in showing the games that do work though

perhaps colorcoding could be used eg red for apps which dont work at all orange for apps which are playable but have known bugs

sadsack,

I have made this topic pinned (or sticky if you prefer), we can use it to report for working/failing games.

The best format for the report would be, for each game:

- game name

- game link on Google Market (or other Market place)

- device tested on

- problem description

- remarks / workaround found

If there is enough interest and we get a good deal of information to deal with, I'll eventually make it fit in a database.

For the moment, we'll do with manual editing of the posts.

Regarding the Android Status bar hiding, you may have a look here: http://www.arctablet.com/blog/featured/hide-show-android-status-bar-tablet-arctools-root/

Hi Chaps,

Frontline Commando,

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.glu.modwarsniper

tested on 10G2, 124mb wifi download. the game is free.

Status Bar is Visible, but does'nt seem to hinder the game that much, runs quite well on the 10G2 8mb. I did notice that the fire button on screen, unless pressed correctly can cause your shooter to suddenly look to the right of the screen, to where you pressed. (but that may just be my fatty thumb).

played first two levels, loading times are slow between levels.

To illustrate sadsack remarks, here is a short video of Frontline Commando played on an Arnova 10 G2 I made a few months ago.
