Yes yes, good old retro Dune2. First and the best real-time strategy game.
Ok it's not yet available for PPC q.q (well 'it is' VIA dosbox emulation, BUT not playable)
BUT there is Dune2 clone (beta, but playable) available on the internet.
WITH SOURCE.
Its made in Visual Studio C++ 2007/2008. I got this source working on mine.
Good things about this version of Dune2 and reasons for porting:
Default resolution: 640x480 VGA (but changable in source var)
Does not require right mouse click, only left one. (Stylus !!!)
You only need 2 buttons + left mouse button to play this. (so this surely this would be fully playable on PPC)
You can try this by your self on PC:
D2TM-DEMO4.ZIP
Screenshots (taken by me) incase you're not intrested in trying it.
My c++ programing skills are almost zero..
Sooo.. let me know if anyone intrested in helping me port this ???
If yes I've attached the instructions with a link to the source code.
for the DUNE
well..i think i may stick to emulated sega dune2 version on qvga xscale device(hint hint)
..until someone will make it REAL...
sega lol, how it is even possible w/o mouse?
btw it is really easy to make with a bit skills
hahah this game was great when i was a kid, never played after! but will be awesome to have this on my ppc many years later!

It's basically adapting a program for a device that the program wasn't created for.

Allows you to run dos on PPC "emulates" but does not run very well
well I dont have either skills or time to compile it for PPC.
i'm sure you don't have to be a professional programmer to do that

Same here. I tried and it kept FCing like crazy. I'm sure someone will fix it.
Simple. Its written for the hardware. It probably uses a backend. Any 3d stuff CAN"T be done in java. It's too slow. You need to write it in C or C++. They probably used the NDK to do so.

it shouldn't work unless you disable scence ui
otherwise it will keep force closing
but even then i'm not sure if the eris can handle it because it can't handle the live wallpapers and google earth

I challenge this, I did work for 3 years doing 3d visualization of optics problems (http://webtop.org). Now on the phone it is more challening but there are 3d games and such on the market that work reasonably well.
Most the the 3d games are running the NDK backend (developer.android.com/sdk/ndk/1.5_r1/index.html)

same thing, fc'ing. gee golly
until we figure out the reason .. i recommend using either PandaHome and/or GDE they both have great renditions of the Nexus.
If so, where can i get it?
No, not yet. It's supposedly being worked on by the same team that did the PSX emulator.

That is awesome! I would pay $30 for this app. Yongzh has said he is working on it for android. He created many of the current emulators, and in my opinion, the best ones. I imagine that like the PSX4droid app he made, not all ROM's will work on it, but even if I could run just a few of my favorite classics. I am thinking GoldenEye, MarioKart 64, Starfox 64, and Zelda.
These emulators, plus an AOSP rom with bluetooth fixed, wiimote controller app. That would really pass time at work, on a plane, in a hotel, on vacation with the inlaws. I can't wait.

ZodTtd, the dev of psx4droid, is in the middle of making one.
A few days ago he posted on twitter saying that he is experiencing a bug where nothing shows up on the screen. I'd imagine once he solves this, a few tweaks will be made then he will probably hand it over to Yong Zhang for him to work his magic (control overlay,settings etc)
This is exactly what happened with psx4droid
Maybe would should start a bounty to help move this along.
15$ Here
-decent fps with no sound
-bluetooth gamepad support
I don't have any java experience, but I have reasonable experience in other programming languages. When I get the time, I may take a look at porting it. If the full source code is available, should be hugely difficult to port. It'll be the optimisation that'll be difficult.

IPA to APK converter, something like the PSXperia tool.
Doesn't work, ipa is iPhone and apk is Android
Posts like this remind me of when Super Nintendo came out and all these parents were freaking out on the evening news that their kids would want it and it wasn't fair... and that they should make an "adapter" so that the old NES system could play the new games. LOL
This has got to be the stupidest question I have ever seen on XDA.

Spoken by someone who has never written a program in his life.
The logistics of this requires human interaction. Android programs are written in a COMPLETELY different language than iOS programs. While both programming languages can produce the same results, and obviously use the same graphics data and stuff like that, a human programmer must make that conversion as how they get to that end result is completely different.
No developers are working on this. Its a waste of time.
Question: if I remember properly, Android uses a virtual machine, called Dalvik, to run Java code. Could Dalvik actually run Objective C (iOS language) code somehow?

programs that are coded in C run natively they dont run in a VM like android apps. Thats why its possible to use android apps on other platforms (providing they have the dalvik VM) like the blackberry playbook but you couldn't do that the other way around.

The Dalvik VM is just a Java VM right?

No its not just a Java VM and actually works quite differently than a normal Java VM. A regular Java VM works almost like an Emulator within the device running it. The Dalvik VM actually takes the program and uses its own class libraries, it converts some of the java files when its compiled into its own format. This saves space and memory usage, due to the programs obviously needing to be run on devices with limited memory.
The Android SDK also has an ungodly huge amount of libraries within it as well withe specific code design to do basically anything.
have an idea ask Google to try and create android to read IPA or other formats then android will be the best as developers will want to create games, apps and other things and make life easier for everyone as it will be like this in left hand iphone in right hand Samsung galaxy s2 really good android phone which will you pick me i would go for the Samsung as it's better as i have one but if it could run IPA. Iphone will probably unexistant just saying but it's best to ask google. for more easier methods to create games and apps just like ipa is really easy to create apps
I was thinking about Porting Terraria For the Xperia Play. If I proceeded to do this, How many of you would play it/donate for it?
I'd play it.
If you do decide to port it, I would consider doing it through the Playstation Suite SDK, that way you have a single app that works across not just the Play, but the PSVita too. Heck, it could be a killer app for the Playstation suite if you did do it!
I say ... yes. It's a great game.
I would play it for sure. It would be really cool if we could have multilayer as well.
PSVita, and Playstation Suite

Yeah don't own a Vita, nor will I ever. However I might consider doing that, after I take the source code for the Java application (seeing as its coded in C# I have to Decompile it in something like MonoGame and rebuild as a APK) I might put it into Playstation Suite. Definitely something to consider. However right now i'm focusing more on just making it an APK.
Multiplayer will definitely be available.

The PS Suite SDK uses C# as the language of choice. If the game has the source code in that language it should be easier to bring it to the Suite and use the tools that it provides to create the APK.

The Devs of Terraria stopped all work on it. There will be no upcoming updates, no thoughts of dlc, nothing. People have made Mac wrappers and Linux Wrappers for it, Why not make an apk.
http://www.terrariaonline.com/ Check it out.
If i'm in the wrong here and someone doesn't want me to even try. I won't do it.
Another thing: I will somehow make it so you have to use the EXE to play the game, meaning you need to buy it to play it.

The touchscreen is part of the Xperia Play controls too, don't forget. People don't mind using it for menus and the like, even though they complain about them on gameplay. The touchscreen may enhance game play as well, and that's up to the Wii U to prove. Keeping touchscreen compatibility in mind would make your port expandable to other platforms as well (non-Suite Android devices, iOS). Just like Minecraft, you could have the game being Suite-exclusive for a while and then expand it to other places.

It's definitely very reliant on .net, however mono does very well with this and so far with the work I've done with PSSuite, XNA and .net based things wont be too big of a struggle.

Good luck converting the XNA mess that is Terraria into Android OpenGL or PSS SDK Graphics Rendering.
Would also play it! Good luck with developing if you do it.
