I don't know if anyone remembers these games, but bas anyone heard of the classic games Yukon Trail and Oregon Trail II working on our phones???
Their so simple with a not-too-fancy GUI that should work well...
if Dosbox will run on your device (i have not looked into this, but its a open source program AFAIK so its likely someone has it running on ppc's), you should be able to play them with it.
i was playing Oregon Trail in dosbox on my desktop a few months back, funtimesfuntimes.
a quick google turned this up: http://www.freewarepocketpc.net/ppc-download-dosboxppc-v0-63.html (i didn't read about it, but its a start)
again, i have not tried running YT or OTII on my device, i'm just posting a few possibilities that you can follow up to TRY to get them working.
i found this site by pure luck... they programmed this to run on Pocket PCs with at least windows mobile 2003. i tried to install it on my shadow (2007) and its not supported (go figure).
My question is to those of you who know or are programmers and hackers... people have gotten Doom and Duke Nuke'em to run on our little Shadows.... is it possible to hack this thing to do run on our phones?
here's the download site:
http://www.fpsece.net/download.htm
i went over to their website's forums and found that they got it to run on the touch pro...
i was wondering if its possible to port/hack ddpoker 3 game software directly on android.
http://www.ddpoker.com/home
its working on linux and since android bases on linux kernel is there any trick to make it running?
No sourcecode, so its not possible. But there are several other poker games on the market.
sad that it doesnt work as i like the concept and also you can host your own games on dd poker3.
but nevermind, i found myself live hold'em pro on the market which is nice as well.
So you have that new Raspberry Pi all set up with Raspbian and you to use it you have to connect a keyboard and mouse. Maybe you share this keyboard and mouse with another computer (like me) or maybe you have the Raspberry Pi hidden in a console (again, like me) and it's difficult to plug in your devices.
OK, here is a solution so simple it is unreal.
Plug in that keyboard and mouse for the last time OR SSH to your Raspberry Pi (you do have SSH set up right?), open the terminal and type:
sudo apt-get install xrdp
If you did not SSH in then you will need to run this command also to get the ip address of the Raspberry Pi:
ifconfig eth0
Note the IP address.
For LInux:
Install the following:
sudo apt-get install rdesktop
then run
rdesktop (IP address of your Raspberry Pi)
then at the Login to xrdp:
User name of your Raspberry Pi
Password of your Raspberry Pi
Profit!
Non-Linux:
windoze-
start remote desktop and enter IP address then follow Login to xrdp steps above.
fruit systems-
try installing this: http://cord.sourceforge.net/ and then connect to the Raspberry Pi as above.
Or, you can install tightvnc.

I haven't used that one, is it just as easy to set up?

Easy as PI.
I don't like the raspi with desktop environmdent, it's laggy (more with vnc). ssh ftw!
Overclock it!

For X Window apps, the best way to run is ’ssh -X [email protected]_IP’.
Of course we need an X server running, but I’m a linux user.
You just solved a bit problem for me
Actually two.
1. As I do not have a TV or monitor with HDMI input, I had to use this converter for VGA and the display is crappy. The very first thing I do on such RPi is enabling SSH. But from now on, all I have is SSH. I now have much better to work and mnage my RPi's. COOL !!!!!
2. I was also having an issue with my virtual servers, one of which hosts an install of the Android development tools. So far, I was using NX to connect, but since some version of Ubuntu, I could not start an Android VM remotely. Some missing modules, or configuration. I hated this. I was using NX for a long time now. This xrdp seems to work fine. I installed it on a test machine with Android SDK stuff, and voila !! I can start the virtual Android machine no problem.
Great info !!!!!!!
@marty331: Thanks lot

I have a similar problem, except that I share my monitor with my son and his Raspberry Pi. Both of us are building and programming different robots using the RPi and arduino controllers. So I get very little time at the actual keyboard. I did something similar except I am using tightvnc on the RPI and then Remote Ripple on my Nexus 10 and Kyocera phone and then tightvnc java viewer on my windows laptop (if I ever use it, mostly just a cloud print server) . The Nexus 10 being the main computer I use along with my RPi. Full GUI of my RPi Xwindow or SSH shell account on the RPI. (if you can do it on the RPi, you can do it on your nexus! (except remote raspicam/raspivideo.. not yet available.. it will be though!)).
Several different ways to do this, to each their own... but I wanted my N10 client to be made by the same developer as the VNC server. Tightvnc has a large following, so that is good. I did have to pay $5 for the Android version Remote Ripple (tightvnc android client). But I don't mind supporting the authors of quality software (not forced too.. hear that MS!)
you do feel a lag from being on a wireless network, but it is nice being able to log it anytime from anywhere (not just home wifi, I can also use my PI over the internet!)

metaled222,
Looks like youv'e done your homework! Great job on getting all that together!
Maybe it will soon be possible to run android and windows nt nativly at the same time on the Transformer !
how? - ReactOS:
http://www.reactos.org/ (if you are going to test it in a virtual machine dont' use the 0.3.14 version of os, use the trunk build version its much much much better)
ReactOS is an open source windows clone and most of the windows applications work on it ! (MS office, opera, ff, ...) the good news is there is an ARM port of ReactOS - Windows RT equivalent:
http://www.reactos.org/wiki/ARM_Port
ReactOS still has problems to work on real hardware because of many different components but on some PC it works very well (it can be targeted to work on a platform and fix the bugs)
The ARM port is able to run on the transformer but there is still a lot of work to do.
Windows will soon release a Office ARM version for winRT and in order to run any windows application on the transformer a recompile is needed.
and about android there is already a port of android that runs native on windowsne emulation no virtual machine !!)

If anyone has any coding skills it would be nice to try to port reactos to the transformer or just to donate to the project with the subject "arm port for transformer"
cool, thanks for sharing Cruonit
