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
http://www.ppcsg.com/index.php?showtopic=50311

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??

HD 2 Gameloft Games

When I was buying the HD 2 I wondered about great games on it because of hw( snapdragon, 448 MB RAM etc.) but the game support and offer is very poor. I was searching the gameloft main site and i´m very angry, that there isnt any game like Iphone or Android as well. Why dont they develope also some good game with Open GL support?
Does exist any programm, which allows to install for example .apk games on my HD2??
I´ve recently read about developping "Android emulator" for HD 2, but I am not able to find some informations ´bout that.
THX for any answer.

there are some very good 3d games like nfs, experiment 13 and xtrakt
its a long way off but : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=651632

Because Windows Mobile 6.5 is a pretty much dead operating system now. It's being phased out, and companys are making little to no programes for it anymore.

Is anyone thinking of doing ROM work on the MK802 Thumbstick PC?

I pre-ordered the 1GB version of the MK802 ICS thumbstick today from Amazon for $70, can't wait for it to arrive to start playing around with it.
As with any other device, a custom ROM may well bring out some even greater possibilities for this great little piece of kit.
Any of our ROM devs got their eye on this one?

I'd like to second this, Ive ordered the 1gb version as well, can't wait til it arrives and to start monkeying around with it.

I´ve also ordered one (already shipped ) and can´t wait to start messing it up
Having a working CWM Version would be a good start, so we can make backups ^^

Mine got here today! Playing with it hooked up to monitor at the moment. I can't wait to take it home and plug it in to TV.

I Think about order this too and I love to see custom rom on this, sound fun!!

I got mine yesterday, but I can't get it to recognize my xbox 360 controller through a wireless dongle, which works fine in Linux otherwise. Anyway, although I'm disappointed with it so far due to sluggishness, i can only hope it's a software issue and they update it soon. Someone has already got Ubuntu running on it.

what version did you get, the 512 or the 1gig?
I've got a pre order 1g version on order from amazon as well, so watching this thread too

Mine is running Ubuntu now so I think the whole rom thing is now settled and obsolete. More info here: http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-newbie-8/installing-linux-on-mk802-948695/
In short, dd image, do a depmod, update apt and install your favorite programs.
Mine is now running dropbear ssh and lighttpd www with a mediawiki install. Best thing is I had that running under android and it was slower then now under Ubuntu.

Sorry for slow response. I unfortunately got the 512MB version. I assume the 1GB version will be significantly better when running Ubuntu.

That pretty much depends on your memory consumption, I have a 512 and it is running smooth and noticable faster then Android. Just go for lightweight like dropbear instead of openssh or LDX instead of Gnome etc. Here is a nice link to create a fresh rootfs where you can built upon. http://www.cnx-software.com/2012/04...image-for-mele-a1000-allwinner-a10-based-stb/

can we have wireless mouse and keyboard support?

I use my wireless logitech mouse and microsoft keyboard with a USB hub, works great!
There are 2 USB ports but one of them is a mini-usb , used for charging (unless you plug it in the wall outlet). It comes with a usb-mini to USB host too.

These things are going to be big. There is a kickstarter project running for a similar device with integrated HDMI plug, though only a 1ghz processor, rather than 1.5ghz. No 1gb ram option either.. Take a look on their site and search 'android', Pocket TV will come up.
I've gone for the MK802 1gb model on preorder. The interesting thing from the Kickstarter project (apart from that cool air mouse) is the use of the Google TV remote app to control it using another android device. I've grabbed the Google TV remote APK, however when testing it, I couldn't connect to another android device. I can only assume they have found a way to 'spoof' the mini ICS PC stick as a Google TV. How? Read something about the Anymote protocol?
I like the idea of my Nexus S working the pointer and pull up keyboard...
REQUEST: Lets get an MK802 or Mini PC section up on XDA!!

I got mine 1gb
This little thing is cool as hell, Runs everything. Lets talk more about custom ROMs and Ubuntu. What version of Ubuntu are you guys running? Also, any good ideas for apps if one would like to stay with Android?

I saw this device today and i am excited from the specification and the price its coming with.
Does anyone, who has already has it, can tell me his experience??
Can you browse in a decent way?2-3 tabs open maybe? If the page has flash the scrolling is smooth?
I want to buy it for a gift to my parents

mk802
I just got mine direct from China. Working great with fly mouse/keyboard except when you go into recovery. I could only scroll up and fown the 5 selections but could not find any key to select. I was going to install 4ext but backed off as it couldn't detect device.There is certainly a need for a new forum and a developer. These may be the forefront of pc's to come.

New recover img for MK802
http://db.tt/2VRoKtc1

So does anyone know how to use this file? It took 20 attempt to download and was really slow, but no instructions.

in a few days I get a mk802
we must compile and run the kernel module uinput.ko
this is necessary to start DroidMote Server inside it.
with DroidMote this device would be the maximum.
i have a working compiled uinput.ko for a10 allwinner 3.0.8 kernel, in the meantime if anyone wants to try to load with the command insmod, get the module at this post:

I have found that DirectX 9 games like command & conquer generals don't work on windows 8.

As long as you don't go for an ARM based Windows RT tablet (which only runs Win8 apps) all your Win7 games and apps should work just as good or better than on Win7. There might be some exceptions but I haven't found anything yet that makes me want to boot up my Win7 partition after running Win8 since it was released on MSDN in mid-August (and previews before then).
The comment above regarding DX9 games is incorrect. All games I've tried both new and old works just fine as soon as you install DX9.

Everything should be fine, as long as your drivers (particularly GPU) are properly updated.

Any DX9 game will install DX9 as part of the install process, or should. They have for me anyway.

Sorry about that DX9 comment. I meant DX8.1 games, which run perfectly fine in windows 7.

I haven't found anything yet that hasn't worked. Trying some steam games soon, if anything comes up, I'll post it here.

I remember having shogun 2 crashed on me on the consumer preview and some mmo games that use anti cheat might not work well either until that anticheat software provider update their stuff

Like I have said before, I have been unable to get Command & Conquer Generals and Zero Hour to work, as well as SC brood war. Both of these work fine in Windows 7. My collection of old games that I still enjoy from time to time is small, though, so I haven't tried much else.

CSS, CS:GO & BF3 all work fine... :good:
