Hello all,
Have been a PC gamer for many years now and a gamer all my life (Spectrum 48k, 1982) , few games have hooked me in recent years like two of the three game i'm listing here and the fact that we've moved on so much with technology that I've gone from upgrading my whole system to play one of these games and upgrading the operating system to play another vs being able to play them same great games with the same performance on our mobile phones?? is quite odd isn't in it
Anyway, some of you may know about these, some of you may not, so i'll write up a quick tutorial on exactly how to install these games on your HTC 10 and what not to do
NOTE** You must own the original game in order to legally play these, I will not link the game / torrent / files or whatever, you can do what you will but I will not discuss this any further so please don't ask! XDA does not condone piracy
The games in question are as follows:
Return to Castle Wolfenstein
Doom 3
Quake 3 (with Arena)
The games come in two parts:
The apk which is a front end which can read the pak files which form the bulk of the games
The pak files which are installed when installed on your computer, usually within C:\Program Files\RTCW etc or wherever you installed it.
All of the front end's are freely available on the play store, I personally could not find RTCW on the play store, but as it is free I simply downloaded it, if they offered a premium version I'd certainly pop them a beer or two for their work
Return to castle wolfenstein
APK: https://www.dropbox.com/s/f0a3dy8tvt2wpro/1_return_to_castle_wolfenstein.apk?dl=0
Once installed you will need to copy the folder from your PC called main, the normal path is C:/Program Files/ID Software/Return to Castle Wolfenstein/main
Copy the "main" folder to your phone, then place it into a folder in the root of your internal memory in a newly created folder called rtcw4a, then open the app (rtcw4a)
*Note, you can change the resolution and graphics options to whatever you want, but AA will crash the game if altered, you can also change settings within game as you would on PC, multiplayer doesn't work afaik but the game runs at a nice solid 60fps at least.
Doom 3
App link in play store: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.n0n3m4.DIII4A&hl=en
Again once installed you'll need to copy the folder from your PC called base from your PC installation of Doom 3, again it should be within the Program files/Doom 3 folder, you'll want to copy it to a newly created folder in the root of your internal memory called diii4a.
Note* again you can only change certain settings, the ones i've found to be best are as follows:
Disable lighting - Off
Use DXT Textures - On
Use ETC1 compression - On
Use ETC1 cache - On
Graphics:
Resolution: Normal
MSAA: None
Multiplayer does load on this but there wasn't anyone present, perhaps a LAN party would be possible
Quake 3 and Arena
This for me is the best of the bunch, not because it's the best game, because it just isn't but because you CAN play multiplayer, it's absolutely superb, you can host a LAN party between phones and the framerate is ridiculously high so massively enjoyable, just pray that no one is using a KB and Mouse if you aren't yourself cos you will lose
App link in play store: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.n0n3m4.QIII4A&hl=en
Once again you'll need to copy the folder from your PC called baseq3 from your PC installation of Quake 3, again it should be within the Program files/Quake 3 folder, you'll want to copy it to a newly created folder in the root of your internal memory called qiii4a.
In regards to graphics I set my resolution to 1080p, left MSAA alone as it broke the game (force close) graphics within the game can be changed same as PC, multiplayer works for me as I do own all these games, even if you don't own them, because they're so old, you can buy them for pennies these days so personally I'd say avoid the pirate route, you'll only end up with a crappy version and bad karma
Final notes
All of the games have on screen buttons and have been absolutely rock solid for me, I've got an Anker USB-C HDMI and USB-3 hub in work which allows me to connect my KB and Mouse as well as have it on my monitor when i'm not busy
Never tried this with a pad but I imagine it's quite configurable, the ini files for each game are editable just as it was on the PC, make sure to make a copy prior to editing
You will need to be rooted to use a mouse? Not sure why but it requires it?
You will need to use the latest pak files to play these games, if you've already got them say through steam then you'll be set.
PS: I did not make these apps, this is simply a share and how to, props go to the talented bunch who made this possible (who afaik is Proger10 according to the Play Store)
Hope to see you in the arena
Beautiful tutorial man.. Very-very helpful.. I own a Xiaomi Redmi Note 4x.. Still, I'll try and report back
it works!
This is really cool! I just tried it on my SGNote4 and it ran just beautifully! I was hoping this day would come.
Thanks for this! Now, if it'd be possible to play either Warcraft 3 or Age of Empires 2 on Android, then that would kick ass even more!

It's technically possible to play Age of Empires 2 on Android with the same method...Thanks to the app ExaGear, which is not free though (trial during 3 days, and then costs $15). I didn't test it seriously (just saw if it could run the game, and it does), and I don't know if you always need keyboard and mouse (worked with it for me) but it could be worth it.
Thank you for this well written tutorial , I'm deff trying this when I get back from P.A!

Haven't played that myself but it's great that these types of games can run. Just hoping they patch up half life 2 for the 820 properly. Using gltools it works perfect on the S7 and the 821 just the 820 that has an issue on nougat. Shame really, maybe the next OS may help.

Really happy you all got use of the write up and glad you found it helpful.
Any problems you have, post them here and maybe we can sort them out.
Would be interested to see if any more of these have been made as they're excellent
You are turning Android Phones into Nintendo Switch.
I bought DOOM 3 BFG on steam, does it work with it or it must be the old one?
Can Doom3 from the Mac App Store work with this method .?

I think it actually does..copy over the pack files and give it a whirl.. if it fails it fails, graphics options will be the same, all that's needed is the pack files from the same folder to be copied.

Ooo I'm not sure about that one. I'd imagine so long as the actual application files are of the same file type it should. Just rename the folder if it's not the same.
Sorry mate I can't give you a 100% answer

Haha if only.
I did manage a relatively decent frame rate on Zelda the Windwaker, but I think we're a way away from being able to get the Wii U up and running.
Hey nice tutorial but in quake when i hit start game it force closes
Also Return to Castle wolfenstein would be great to have on phone.
Hi,
can you specify what files are needed for RTCW ?
Just apk and main/pak0.pk3 ?
I ask because I'm trying to run it on Samsung S8 (exynos) and game fails with:

Hi Everyone !
I don't post to much around here, but I read the news daily I wanted to do a little PPC dev for my HTC P3600 with a friend of mine, and as he's using linux, we couldn't go with all the microsoft compiler solutions :s
So we just went with CeGCC and coded are own and easy library ^^
Anyways, here's one of the games we made, I'll post the others later on
Caisses is a Sokoban clone that includes 500 levels and 14 different backgrounds and themes.
The original version of Caisses is Caisses DS, a Nintendo DS homebrew coded by Kukulcan.
In this game, you are a warehouse keeper, and your mission consists in arranging boxes by pushing them onto their designated locations...
Boxes can be pushed, but not pulled, and the controls are simple : either point to the spot to move to with the stylus, or use the directional pad !
Download Caisses
Oh, beware, this is PocketPC ONLY, you need the touchscreen to exit the app :s
edit : tested on Pocket 2003SE and up, not sure how it'll go for 2002 and lower :s
I'll just up this topic a little, did ANYONE test it ? :s

Touchscreen is unresponsive on my QVGA device (Kaiser) for the game options (eg Play/Help etc) and I really have to press really, really hard to activate the choice I want. The graphics are awesome but I got frustrated after the first 5 min struggling to press my screen and play the game further...eventually uninstalled the game...
Here's an update which should work much better :
1.05
- CPU optimizations
- Ram optimizations
- Support for WinCE GPS
- Added Check and Cross to show which games are finished and which ones aren't in the level selection screen...
- Optimized theme changing routine (you can just move around on the theme page, you don't need to click everywhere anymore)
1.06 update : level 80 fixed !
Versioin 1.10 is out :
- Restart button when ingame to avoid having to quit and come back (triggered by the softkeys on smartphone)
- Fixed minor glitch on the selection screen
- Added full DPAD support in the menu
- 240x320 smartphones can now play 100% !
- VGA-screen friendly !
- Updated source code
great game. works great on my kaiser.
i am almost sure that levels 280 and 320 are impossible though. (there might be others but i haven't completed every level yet)
got it from freewarepocketpc.net gota say grate simple game to take up time..
thanks for tha work..
Thanks to Drakey83 from htcgeeks - this is copypasted text..
Warcraft II
Requirements: Any VGA Pocket PC or PDA PDA Phone with plenty of memory to spare.
Overview: The single player storyline is basically a frame tale for combat and devoid of plot development during missions, which is usual for early RTS games but in contrast to some later ones, including StarCraft and Warcraft III: Reign of Chaos. The game is set six years after the fall of Azeroth (the orc campain ending from Warcraft: Orcs & Humans) in the First War in Warcraft: Orcs & Humans. The Orcs have decided to conquer the lands to the north and acquire Lordaeron for their empire, and the battles to follow would later be known as the Second War.

More Info: Wargus was ported to Pocket PC by a great russian programmer that goes by the name n0p. Wargus uses a mobile version of the Stratagus game engine. The version I've uploaded here is the English VGA Version that has been optimized by me to run as well as possible and also to look as much like the original Warcraf II as possible. The first change I made to the code was th change the intro screen to be the original Warcraft II screen intest of the ugly Stratagus screen, the second change to the code I made was with the sound files, now insted of like six or seven phrases per character there is only one or two, to save momory usuage, also I changed the icon to be the original Warcraft II icon, along with all of that I also included all of the patches and fixes that are currently available, hope you ENJOY!
Code:
http://airsoft-cro.com/static/Warcraft2.zip
http://rapidshare.com/files/90257783/Warcraft_2_PPC_VGA__freeware__with_game_files.rar.html
I uploaded game to my portals server with unlimited bandwidth so there must be no problems for anyone to download.. If you have memory problems with game try downloading it from second link provided (rapidshare)..
Click on the download link, download .zip file, unzip files, put the Warcraft II files on your SD or CF card, and then simply go to SD Card(or CF Card)\Warcraft II and click on the new Warcraft II icon to play.
EDIT: problem with the screen align, go to options in the main menu, select video resolution 640x480 and mark the Fullscreen checkbox ( which is unmarked as default ) after this change it's working perfect
Don't know about warez and stuff, but I was fast enough to catch that link.
Thank you very much
hummm it sounds great!
let me try it.i will let you know my impresions.
thanks!
Duke Nukem 3D Atomic
Ported application from spv3d. I changed some settings in duke3d.cfg file like UsingGapi to 0 so it looks like this "UsingGapi = 0" without setting it the game didnt show graphics. The fps count is enabled and showing 10-20fps on Diamond (TF3D disabled of course). I have problems with setting sound device & also some controls problems... Anyone who has some time to test please post your results here somewhere
The response in game menu is slowed down so it might take a few presses before you actually press the menu link. Once in the game you can shoot by tapping anywhere on the screen & move with buttons up, down, left, right.. as said before it would be great if someone could find a way to control the movement trough touchscreen...
Here are some pics of game runnin I have take:

Doom
NOTE :
You need some wad files for running the game.
currently supported wad files are:
doom1.wad
doom.wad
doomu.wad
doom2.wad
doom2f.wad
plutonia.wad
tnt.wad
Note that not all of these files intend to run perfectly and you may experience some problems with some of them.
Doom1.wad the shareware version seemed to work perfectly.
For music you can put a file called doom.wav in same directory.
Included Doom1.wad for testing purposes... Game running smooth on Diamond.. up down left right movement & shooting..
Download link... only ~1,5mb

Awesome!!!!
Doom is a classssiccc.
But how do I exit Doom.
Thanks kick asss!!!

P.S. Heretic port doesnt work for our HTC devices.. only with OpenGL-ES port for Dell AXIM X50V and X51V (and any PocketPC which contain the intel 2700g graphic chipset)
Hi thanks for the games! warcraft 2 is great! about the problem with the screen align, go to options in the main menu, select video resolution 640x480 and mark the Fullscreen checkbox ( which is unmarked as default ) after this change it's working perfect in my diamond!

Ha. Ha. Ha.
And I thought my jokes were bad.
Seriously, now - Warcraft II, it's story, characters, graphics and sound files are (c) Blizzard Entertainment. Warcraft II is not abandon-ware, nor is it free. Most of the abandon-ware talk is myth anyway - there's barely any abandon-ware available.
Nevertheless, since I legally own Warcraft II, it is legal to download this since, indeed, it is a remake on a different engine, using stuff legally licensed to me by Blizzard Entertainment.
This is warez, but at least this form is rather acceptable (although the data files should not be in the archive to be fully legal - instead, it should contain information on how to load the Warcraft II data files into Stratagus).
My bad I thought it was just Stratagus and being called something else.
hahahhahaha. give me a break mate. Even if you've got the original. Doesn't mean that you can have a copy of it. This is a port as well. Mean you can't edit any copyright. Cheers

Is it possible for somenone to make Command & Conquer Red alert for the HTC Diamond? I would love to play that game on my HTC, it was a bit like this game graphic wise.
warcraft ends after 5 min
Great work, loved it on my old pc! Now on my Diamiond, nice!
One problem: after some minutes of playing the game will just end. Looks like the app is just killed.
No error message, enough device memory, problem both in human or orc mode..
Only thing could be that I installed it on the internal storage instead of device memory (since device memory has only 15MB left).
One other thing could be that I just unzipped the whole into my internal storage. The included readme says to replace some files in a folder, only there is no such folder so I didn't make any change..
Any of you guys having the same problem? Please help, tnx!

Yeah it works fine up untill you have like 30 people on the screen then it just turns off because it runs out of memory... you have to save often and just restart your game whenever it crashes so its semi-playable..
On a post nr. 4 added Duke Nukem with download links..
Also I found this great port. Its only shareware version but looks nice to try...
Age of Empires for Pocket PC 1.25
http://handheld.softpedia.com/get/Games/Strategy/Age-of-Empires-for-Pocket-PC-10066.shtml
Ok, thanks a lot for clearing up this problem. Guess we'll just have to live with it.. keep saving!
Thanks again for bringing back the good old Warcraft memories! Respect!
i have my PSP and PS3 for gaming... out loved Diamonds dont have the muscle or the hardware (buttons) to support this games
I am simply at the end of my tether, I have come to ppc's quite late and am using a borrowed Hermes (running the standard o2 rom). My friend pointed me to this site and it has been a goodsend many a time, thanks.
I have recently discovered Warfare Inc. it's a brilliant game, easily the best phone game I've played. I sailed through the story then the challenge missions but then I tried to install the mission packs (from here http://www.warfareincorporated.com/missions.php) and that is where my trouble started.
At best the instructions say install the file through active sync to the Warfare Inc. folder. How? I have searched high and low for an answer, the best reply I can find on their own forums is buy an iphone (as you may understand this isn't the most helpfull answer). I have updated to the latest ppc version (version 1.2, there is a version 1.5 but I'm fairly sure it's iphone only grr) but I can't get the game to see the missions. The missions are downloaded as a .PDB file, can the hermes read a .PDB file?
Any help you guys can offer would be greatly appreciated as I would love to extend the shelf life of this game (without buying an iphone!) maybe one of you solved this problem a long time ago.
I'm not quite sure about that, because didn't play Warfare Inc. long time.
But I think you shall put the mission files in the Warfare Inc. installation folder via Active Sync.
You do this by connecting your device to the PC and opening the windows explorer. Now there should be an "Windows Mobile Device" which you can double click (open) and now see your phone contents. In Vista it looks a bit different but is practically the same.
Now put the files in the right folder. I think its "\programs\games\warfare" or something like that.
I hope that helps you a little bit!

Unfortunatly I have already tried that I have all of the files that I downloaded in the Warfare Inc. folder (mine is Storage Card/Program Files/Handmark/Warfare Incorporated) I can't find anywhere else that Warfare Inc. would keep it files either on the phone or on the storage card. So anyway I put the game files from the website there and then started Warfare Inc. and then went to Play Solo> Play Challenge Mission but the only levels here are the ones included with the game I can't find how to add the ones that I have downloaded.
I hope you can help, thanks in advance.
i dont know any other ways to do it, with guitar hero 3 mobile i added the song tracks to the same place as all the rest and i think the showed up. You may just have to experiment with different things until you get it to work.
Good luck
Hello thread i just installed morphgear into my HTC LEO and WOW!!! what a difference! i have had previosly the htc hd 1 and its a big change, so quick, even the sound is bearable i forget after a while that its not perfect. love it.
One problem though! In the GBA rom Zelda: Minish cap, the game always freezes in the beginning when i enter Minish Woods, no idea why same thing on my htc hd 1 any ideas what could be causing this?? thank you
oh ps: the pokemon games seem to not be able to save:S
the games are incredibly fun now with multitouch, but this stops me, help please!!
maybe ur rom is corrupt? u should download another of the game..
oh, and in the pokemon games.. try using the integrated savefunction of morphgear.. its faster and better ^.^ almost never save my games without it..
yeah, +1 for what the previous guy said, pokemon saves for me if i use morphgear but not the start menu option. I'd forgotten how addictive that crap is!
Sounds like a duff rom, had the same problem with revenge of shinobi for the mega drive (genesis, for those across the water) downloaded a different rom and all is well.
Now my days at work just fly by, makes mincemeat of my battery though!
Thanks for the reply!! Helps alot! with the pokemon games.
But ive downloaded a different rom from a different site, even different sizes MB wise and exactly the same problem?
any more ideas?
Again its specifically a problem with Zelda: Minish Cap, when entering Minish woods at the beginning after princess zelda turns to stone.
love morphgear on my Hd 2 with multitouch but this specific game gives me a problem, its frustrating considering as another member said before its very ¨addicting¨ XD
UPDATE: Fixed the problem, after Princess Zelda turns to stone, don't go directly to Minish Woods, go south like if you were going back home, the road will be blocked and talk to one of the workers, then go to Minish Woods, this way its doesn't freeze, STRANGE!! but works so I'm happy
Hope this helps!!
wow! i want to play too! but i am stuck trying to install. anyone can help. please.

Hello, its not to hard here are the steps to install it correctly, again this way positively works for htc hd 2 and htc hd 1.
Step 1: go to the morphgear webpage at http://www.spicypixel.com/web/page/morphgear/Home.aspx. go to the download tab and find the Windows Mobile - Download Version 2.3.0.2 (MorphGear ,Modular game and emulation engine.)
it should come in a .cab just pass it over to your phone, and install it either into the sd card or phone memory.
Ps, if you have an HTC HD 2 they have ported it with bigger buttons and instructions on how to add the multitouch gamepad here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=593464 trust me its not that difficult, its really not (Oh and by the way the morphgear engine(program .cab) cames with the snes module already activated)
Step 2: on the morphgear website download any of the modules you'd like GBA, SNES, etc and install that into your phone.
Step 3: Open the program (it should be under games, or programs list) click the image on the right of a joystick you can choose your settings, sound no sound etc.
Step 4: now that you have everything set up find yourself a rom, google search example: GBA ROMS (or any other system) and download it should be a zip file.
Step 5: after you have downloaded place it into your phone, then open morphgear and click the folfer image on the left, find your .zip game and PLAY.
PS: imorphgear is a payed aplication, you can have the snes module free and activated in the link above, but for the other you have to find a code, (private message me if you want a GBA Code).
Also on the link above for the HTC HD 2 scren settings dont change, unless you do it with the registry, not ard either just have to do it, I changed it too full screen works great with game pad.
NOw you have all the games to your hearts desire and on The HTC LEO they are fastttttt.
Good luck!
Great Alex! Will definitely try this now! Thanks for the guide. will keep you updated.
UPDATE!!!:
Many users have been asking how to change the settings on their HTC Leo in Morphgear.
Here are the steps:
1) You need to have a registry editor, I use PHM Registry Editor, which can be found here http://www.pocketpcfreeware.com/en/index.php?soft=31. ( you can use others but thats the one thats simplest for me.
2)After instalation, you can go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER, Software, Morphgear, Then you pick your console and edit whatever you want.
3) For me the best setting for my leo where: Go to the steps above and click any of the consoles, y use mostly GBA so: HKEY_CURRENT_USER, Software, Morphgear, Gameboyadvanced, then you scrool down and to screen size and change the value from 100% to WINDOW SIZE. Thats the best for HTC LEO in my opinion.
4) If you want to use the d-pad WVGA-MT-Dredd67 v0.3 (Exelent by the way since it has multitouch and its very finger friendly) Go here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=489147 follow the instructions put the files in the right folder.
5) after your done go to the registry editor and again go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER, Software, Morphgear, Gameboyadvanced(or any console) and go to PADSKIN change the default and Write exactly the name of the pad skin you downloaded in this case WVGA MT Pad v0.3 by Dredd67.
then press ok to change.
Now restart your phone if youd like or just make sure your out of morphgear and then start it up again, the settings should be there.
PS: Once you start the game the D-Pad will show up when you tap the screen.
Good Luck hope this helps.
+ 1 for the great patience and support. Thanks mate.
I'm having the same problem with the pokemon saving in the emulator. I used the state save that Morphgear provides, which works fine, but then I beat Elite Four and the game just exited out. So my only options are either start a new game or keep on playing from where I last saved before Elite Four. It doesn't put me back at my house in the game like it's supposed to. Help anyone? There has GOT to be a way to save in-game!!!
Maybe we have soooon Adventure time.

thanks for the great news

Yes ist this a virtual machine? I dont get realy the goal of this project.
WOW.... this is excellent stuff !
i really hope they manage to get it working fully...
if scummvm gets ported all the compatible games already running in other platforms could run in bada.. am i thinking correctly?
i hope this will be compatible with bada 2
Amazing! I am Loving it!

Look like Stratagus, game (engine?) able to use data files, scripts, map, etc. from original games (Stratagus is able to use Warcraft and Starcraft).
Something like re-make with original data
huh, i have already mentioned the development process in our russian bada blog - don't forget to visit us as well )
link monkey in italian ?
I guess we can install this emu's early stage version. because I install it already for testing on Bada 2.0.1 . It works, but I couldn't understand how it is work.
those who pass me some games ?
sub italian
2.0 works on my bay, I have to try the games
For those asking what this is all about (and not having the time to google it ):
Scumm was the game engine developed by LucasArts in the 1980's and 1990's for their (mostly excellent) graphic adventures.
ScummVM is basically a virtual machine that enables running almost all of those games in recent OS's.
You can try it in Windows (ScummVM for windows has been around for some years now) and other platforms.
All you need is ScummVM and the original game files (flying around the net... lots are even free).
We see all this fuss because some of these games are VERY good (some may even be in the "best games ever" list). So its a great adition to bada phones.
I recommend playing:
- DAY OF THE TENTACLE
- FULL THROTTLE
- INDIANA JONES AND THE FATE OF ATLANTIS
- INDIANA JONES AND THE LAST CRUSADE
- MONKEY ISLAND 1 - THE SECRET OF MONKEY ISLAND
- MONKEY ISLAND 2 - LECHUCK'S REVENGE
- MONKEY ISLAND 3 - THE CURSE OF MONKEY ISLAND
- SAM AND MAX HIT THE ROAD
- THE DIG
- BENEATH A STEAL SKY
Lets hope this project finishes soon
I have links to free ones?
www. ?
27 September 2011 The application was rejected again. This time due to a bug in the Humongous game engine and some other startup edge-case where the application appears to crash if you press the hold/mute key during startup. The Humongous engine problem was a simple null pointer fix. I was not able to replicate the mute problem so have just added some defensive coding around this area. I will try re-submitting again. The Sellers Office web-site seems to be down at the moment.
25 September 2011 The application was re-submitted to the Samsung Seller Office over a week ago, so just waiting now to see whether it will be accepted. The initial submission failed due to a couple of minor issues; the virtual keypad did not automatically appear when focusing on the launcher filter widget and sound could not be enabled if started while system mute was active.
