Starcraft

Yeah, you know, um......
I know this is a stupid question but someone had to ask it..... Is it possible to modify games from the 1998-2000 era like starcraft, unreal tournament99 etc. to run on the xperia????

Theoretically, yes.

dosbox?
cant remember if it was a dos game.

scummvm.. ?

scummvm is for lucasarts adventures only

Best answer ever
C'mon guys what are you waiting for??? Stop messing with custom ROMs and fake home made panels. Start working on games like Heroes 3 for Xperia. NOW !

still waiting for something like Vmware which i can install on my phone ^^

OK, there is a guy on youtube playing Call of Duty 2 on his xperia. How???????

there is a pocket pc version of call of duty out there is why

There was also a way to get warcraft 2 on your pocket pc. It involded porting it to the stratigus engine and running from there, perhaps a starcraft port would also be possible.
More info here

I've been thinking, if it is possible to port a game like Commandos or Desperados, these game would be fun on touchscreen (+keyboard), and requires a 200Mhz PII (don't know if the ARM 520Mhz can handle these)

I am really interested in pc games for the x1, if anyone knows about such ports (like the warcraft2 one) or games like CoD2 share your knowledge with us pl0x.

dosbox works ok with x1 and dos games on my x1
other games you mention are ports which are hacks like wargus
and games where they had the source code and ported it
a thing like wargus takes forever to make guess one can ask the people behind if they are working on a sc version
the other require the games sourcecode to be released or lawsuits will follow suit

HTC touch 2 games..

Hey! i am new here so sory for being sily or posting in wrong thread but i am realy desparate:
Are there any real good games... Like duke nukem, doom, or starcraft warcraft 2... PLz help me i hate those retarded games that are made for 11 year old punk's

Great adventure games would be Monkey Island (1&2) and Indiana Jones 4. All run absolutely great using ScummVM, see here for the WindowsCE version: http://www.scummvm.org/downloads/
All you need is those old MSDOS game disks from your old times, or a dollar or two on ebay. There are some free adventure games for ScummVM as well.
Please note, though, that while these games are sometimes offered for download as "Abandonware", this is to be considered software piracy, since the companies making those games still exist. Do not support this!
Additionally, I am currently experimenting with DOSBOX on the Touch2. This here seems to be the PPC version of choice: n0p's DOS Box PPC
My old DOS version of Monkey Island 1 runs OK on this DOSBOX port, but a bit slow. I am hoping to get old classics like Battle Isle to work.
Doom should be available, just search for Doom + PPC on Google. Same goes for Wolfenstein 3D and Quake.

but will doom warcraft ... work on touch screen??

No idea how to play it... no WASD keys on the Touch2

Top Android 3D Games

Hi!
Last night, I wrote a list of the in my opinion top Android 3D games: Raging Thunder 2, Armageddon Squadron, SpeedX and Homerun Battle 3D. I also included a bunch of other games that I think are worthy representatives of 3D gaming on Android at the moment.
Are there any more games that I should now of? As you may know, Gameloft has released a whole bunch of Android 3D games. They got some backlash for not making them available in the Market, and for their DRM policy. But soon purchased games can be redownloaded from their own online store. Has anyone tried any of them and if so, how do they perform on the HTC Desire? I think a couple of them look very promising indeed
Cheers

you can add to the list RealFootball, Let's Golf, asphalt 5 (i can't believe that you've missed this ), iron sight, hero of sparta. wonderful 3D games.
Do you know if there is 3D chess? on windows mobile i had one, it was so nice!!!

Asphalt 5 could be an amazing game but the code is really awfull resulting in a lot of framedrops when more then 2 cars are on screen

i'm agree with you @pina_

Check out Crusade of Destiny, very nice RPG (although the save games doesn't work for me )

I bought Dungeon Hunter from the Gameloft website, and I love it!
Awesome Diablo-like hack'n'slay!
The 3D graphics could be better, but theyre OK, and there are some cool combat and magic effects.
I hope they will make more games available in the Android Market. That would be a much better solution than their company website, which is not really great to use... and you would be sure to get your refund if the game just sucks, like Asphalt 5 (horrible performance).

any other racing game that I should check out? I really like Raging Thunder 2, fast paced, excellent

Game loft games
Gameloft also realsed 10 3D android games:
http://www.gameloft.co.uk/download-games/android/
All the games look pretty good and you can only get it from there website.
has anyone tried them?

A few of those 10 games have been mentioned in this thread. Apparently some work well and others not so well. Be careful as Gameloft seems a little dodgy to deal with at times (not through personal experience, only things I have read).

Hockey Nations Shootout...

H.A.W.X for android is great too, smooth on desire, a few freezes but I got all the missions completed - Good fun (and time waste for my exams lol)

yep. both of them are really nice

@ady_uaic
how long are you here on xda? U should already know that its forbiden to post warez.

It's ok the gameloft drm stopped you using it anyway

No you cannot. That game (As well as NOVA and Gangstarr) ONLY work on the Moto Droid and no other Android phone.

Em, yes it is.
That's called sharing something that you don't own. You don't own the game, you own a single user licence to play the game and nothing more.

[Q] MAME for Android? - 2 questions

Ok 2 questions.
1) Is there any way to save and load state of game on Tiger Mame?
It's a dam awesome emulator, but quite useless as a mobile game emulator without save states !
2) Are there any decent Android MAME emulators that enable to play arcade games other than cps1/2/neo geo?
I want to play arcade versions of outrun/double dragon/golden axe. Stuff like that.
Thank in advance for replies.

Honestly, I think it's really funny that he's calling his app "Tiger MAME" because I don't think his app is actually MAME whatsoever. Judging from the specific games that are supported and those which are not, it matches up almost perfectly with the Final Burn series of emulators.
1) Nope.
2) Nope, not until we get an actual REAL port of MAME.

Agreed about the name, but I think he renamed to TigerArcade (MAME), so people would relate more to what it plays. It really should have been called TigerRaine or TigerFinalBurn, since those are the rom sets it works best with.
MAME rom sets are moving targets to work, due to platform updates of the MAME app.
This app is better for just emulating what it does, since that is why it plays EVERY rom full speed with sound, even on the Incredible. Far less overhead than MAME, since only supporting a few platforms.
There are/were a few that played some, but not all of MAME4All rom sets (played about half). Jironi Arcade is the name and is still in market, but has issues with Gingerbread (the dev knows and is working on it).

It doesn't matter how many ROMs a build of MAME supports, it doesn't speed things up any by removing them.

want to play more roms on my xperia play like splatterhouse , Ghost n Goblins and Bionic Commnd and More Games

yes please can some devs make a mame port that would be brilliant
just think of all those games that mame supports
damn i would need a 64gb card lol

Get to work then.

If TigerArcade had save states it would be a great emu.
Surely not too hard to do from the Dev considering he has done it in all his other emus?

I agree about the save states thing...the only other problems I've noticed is that some Capcom games have sound issues (Ghouls 'n Ghosts, Strider). The music is total static with those.

We really need a proper port of MAME to Android.

Just curious. Since open source emulators exist for MAME, is it an easy matter (for someone in the know) to just compile the code for the Android platform? I only know a bit of programming, but I'd be willing to learn how to port to get a Mame emulator on my android device. But since there is none currently for Android, I'm assuming it's not too easy a task.

There is no Java version of MAME, so you'd have to port it to Java before you can think about porting it to Android.

Didn't even realize most Android programs were written in Java. There was this project called Jape, but it's unfinished and looks abandoned since 2006. The source is available though, with a paper titled, "How to port MAME from C to Java".
Lol. I took a few peeks at the code. This may take a while...

I guess there's also the NDK, which would allow you to avoid porting to Java, I believe.. but I know very little about it.

you can often found ports very close to the original in compilations for gameboy advance or PS1 which you can play with Gameboid or FPSe.
For example, for GBA, you have Out Run in Sega Arcade Gallery compilation, Double Dragon in Double Dragon Advance, Golden Axe in Sega Smash Pack.
Ghosts'n Goblin is found in Capcom Generations Vol.2 for the PS1.

I got a DOS port of mame working through aDOSbox, but not to a point where it's playable. The games launch, albeit incredibly slow. Controls are a ***** too. Details and pics on my blog, though there's not much to see. Still, it's the currently the only way to get MAME on the Android I've found.

Hey its jwhood again,it wont let me download that link in your blog for the dosmame says your not aloud can u fix it really appreciated bro,great work,its a start : )

Few performance games on Android are written in Java.
Big studios use a C/C++codebase hooked in via the NDK.
Smaller studios tend to use C# or Javacript with the brillant game engine Unity3D

Yeah, I mentioned the NDK already.

JRioni's emulators don't support the plays controls and if you manage to get any response from the guy, you should play the lottery that day. Haven't had much luck with tigermame on a number of devices a while back, and was extra frustrated by the way it searches for roms instead of letting you select a rom directory. Not everyone is a douchebag who throws roms on the root of their SD card. Anyway, since people seem to be having luck with it, maybe its been updated and resolved some of these issues.
