    I've had a look through the sf folder in ifile an the plist. The bundle I'd seems to be the same as whats in retinasizer plist. Any other way to get retiniasizer to recognise sf?

    Chinatown Wars works very good on my Iphone 4 32gb with Firmware 4.1.

    Only the Cutscenes are chopped up unfortunately.. I only played it a few minutes but it ran smoothly.. Maybe your Memory is full on your ipod touch 4g and thats why it lags? I'll be testing it a bit more soon

    Hero of Sparta 1 fails for me, just like Brothers in Arms 1 Cant even start them because the Initial Menus are screwed! Cod Zombies the same! Anyone tried these

    Big Thanks to Sticktron btw, Angry Birds and Chinatown Wars look fantastic now! Keep it up!

    just tested Siberian Strike too! What a difference it works very good just the initial Menus have some very minor glitches

    Skies of Glory - Fails! Air Attack Fails too!

    They all seem to have similiar Errors

    Alright GTA CTW seemed to run fine at first but i experience slow downs too after a while.. guess its not optimized for retina

    Sorry but Retinasizing Zombies causes issues with the in-game HUD and every Menu. Here's how it would look though:

    I tried out a few of my games today.
    Nazi Zombies menus are totally screwed up, but if you manage to tap it in the right places and make it through into the game the visuals are fantastic.

    Crash Kart gets somewhat into the game (if you can manage through the menu) and....well it crashes. (Ironic huh?) But the 4 seconds you see of it, the visuals have improved by 200%

    EliminatePro looks magnificent and plays fine, menus are still perfect and controls still work.

    SimCity would just flash random buildings at me in game and the tiles would start floating so I don't know what happened there.

    Tony Hawk Pro Skater 2's menus are completely wacked out and the farthest I could get was the character select screen. Since it shows a model of the skater I was able to tell that it was working and the character visuals looked great. Too bad I can't get in game though. I have to re sync some of my older games when I get home to try them out.
    Great work!

    I have an iPod Touch 3G and am confused by reading this thread. It seems some people with non iPhone or iPod Touch 4s are using this. Is this actually the case? Will it make games look better on old devices too? Obviously they don't have retina, so I doubt it, but peoples' info suggest otherwise. If so it would definitely be worth JBing.

    No this won't work on older devices. Well technically it would but there's no point since there is hardly a noticeable difference. People probably just upgrade and don't bother to change their info.

    It makes games that aren't optimized for Retina display optimized for them. It has no impact on old gen devices.
    A slight difference? What? There would be no difference, probably more lag b/c of an extra program backgrounding.

    You do see a slight difference when the game's resolutions are upped on older devices. I remember when I had a 3GS and Doodle Jump was updated for retina. You could see a slight difference in the smoothing. But idk that's just. Either way, using retinasizer on anything but an iPhone 4 or iPod touch 4 is pointless.

    This thread is a bit old, but here's what I tried (from just initial looks, no intense gameplay):

    Retinasizer helped improve or make these completely playable again:
    Plants vs Zombies: <string>com.popcap.PvZ</string>
    FallingBalls: <string>com.bit101.FallingBalls</string>
    Cube Runner: <string>com.andyqua.CubeRunner</string>
    Metal Gear Solid Touch:<string>com.konami.mgst</string>
    Civilization Revolution: <string>com.2kchina.civilization</string>

    Here's an album of the difference (sorry about CivRev being upside down): http://imgur.com/a/t5RJ4

    I also tried Geometry Wars but it didn't improve the graphics and also broke the controls.

    Thanks for this tweak and hope you the best.

    Chrono trigger tested on iPad 3 and holy shit broken... Menus out of place, resolution jaaaaaaacked... Really thought this might be the solution to this sloppy remake to make it more visually appealing. Hopefully I can find something that works.
