Root Shadowgun. Will it run?

There are two different versions of the app, one for Tegra 3 devices, which I'm fairly certain won't run on the Triumph:

And then the other version that is said to work with "Tegra 2, Mali-400, Adreno and PowerVR devices" :

https://market.android.com/details?...DEsImNvbS5tYWRmaW5nZXJnYW1lcy5zaGFkb3dndW4iXQ..

Does the Triumph fit within the 2nd one, spec-wise? I have the modified file installed that makes the Market think I'm using an HTC phone, so I can't tell if it will really work or not.

Thanks!
 
The non tegra 3 version should work. just make sure you have a kernel with Isaacs touchscreen rewrite built in it. If you don't the touch response is bad, like horrible. I think if you're running TG-reloaded, the fixes are already built in. Or you can download several of the kernels that are already available for whatever ROM your running.

Thanks!

I've installed any of the tweaks and whatnot that are supposed to help, and the touchscreen one was one of them.

I wanted to try the game out but I didn't want to fork over the $5 if it's not going to even start.
 
Ok, another question along the same lines. What is the graphics processor in the Triumph considered? Is it one of the ones listed for Shadowgun: Tegra 2, Mali-400, Adreno and PowerVR? Or is it another, similar chip?

It get's a bit confusing to me, thanks!

Its a snapdragon. Its runs fine Tegra 2 version I was just playing it
 
I have shadowgun and it runs quite well and if you have the sixaxis controller app and a PS3 controller it's even better
 
Runs smooth as butter for me on CM7 TG Reloaded. Just wish I could get MC3 to work. Keeps telling me device not supported.

The reason the HTC Thunderbolt was picked for the modification was explained by the author -

I managed to trick the android market into seeing the triumph as an HTC Thunderbolt. I chose this phone as it has much more support than that of the triumph but also has very similar specs including the exact same chipset so most of anything you do decide to download in the market is likely to run just fine.
