How to Play Tegra Zone Games on Samsung Galaxy S2 (SII), HTC HD2

Chainfire3D is an Open GL driver that is available from Android Market and can be used to play Tegra Zone games on otherwise unsupported Android devices! Chainfire3D requires the use of additional plugins to achieve it’s magic. Chainfire3D is best described by it’s author as follows:“Chainfire3D is an intermediary OpenGL driver. What does that mean? It means that Chainfire3D sits between your apps and the graphics drivers, and can intercept and/or change commands between the two. It has some built-in functions, and can be further extended with plugins to provide extra functionality.”Features

Now the important part here is the “can be further extended with plugins to provide extra functionality”. After it’s release people have come up with the plugins that allows to emulate specific hardware and hence play the Tegra Zone games on otherwise unsupported hardware. For example, the method that we are going to describe has been confirmed to work on Samsung Galaxy S2, original Samsung Galaxy S and many other Android devices. According to a thread at the XDA forum here it seems that it should also work for our beloved Nook Color tablet! Please note that your device must be rooted first for this method to work! You can have a look at the Rooting section on our website to find the relevant guide for your device.

- Download this rar archive file.

- Extract the archive and copy the ibGLEMU_NVIDIA.zip to the root of your device SDcard.

- Now launch the Chainfire3D application and select CF3D driver > Install. After the installation your device will reboot.
