Porting Games / PC Games on Android - G1 Apps and Games

Ok guys, hey I'm new here i haven't actually got my hands on a android phone yet but one is in the working my bro has a HTC g2 "my touch" i believe its called and i love the thing.. shame it doesn't have a keypad because it gets abit tedious typing messages but anyways i am trying to get a hold of a HTC Dream atm
The question i wanted to ask you guys would it be possible to port over low end PC games and how difficult would it be
I have seen Quake and Doom Released so far... I have seen fallout 2 on windows mobile devices is this in the working for android? or Age2 would also be nice
But basically i just wanted to ask will it or is it possible to get low end pc games running on this thing i cant just imagine playing GTA2 gawd that would be great
Sorry if this is a silly question... or has been answered but cant find much info anywhere..

Well assuming you have access to the source code of the game in question, I guess it would really depend on your proficiency with Java and the language the game was originally written in.

Tony Hawk Pro Skater 2 for Fuze

alright, sorry to be "that guy" but I read the stickies, did a search and nothing came up in the raphael sections for tony hawk, but I read somewhere earlier someone said that a must have app is tony hawk 2 (although its not full screen) it was on page 3 of must have apps I believe. But anyways, can someone please help me get this onto my phone? As you can see by my username I skateboard, and tony hawk 2 is my favorite of them all (it's the first with manuals) anyways, could someone please tell me how to get this onto my phone? Do I have to download an emulator and then the rom? or is the rom going to straight up work somehow? I'm not a computer guy really, I'm just an idiot with a question I'd like answered. Please Please PLEASE help me out here, I want to get my fuze working awesomely

This should be posted in the Raphael software forum. You'll have better luck getting answers there and will probably anger fewer of the ROM gods.
thanks for moving this for me, sorry for posting it in the inappropriate section to begin with
Iam not sure if Iam not breaking rules or something. But THPS2 is PPC game. You dont have to emulate anything. Just downlaod it and play. It runs great on my HTC Touch Pro.
Where to get THPS2:
Code:

Iam not sure, if THPS2 is Licensed or not. Its not my post, and i just searched for it. So iam not responsible for anything (^^,)
Consider this the first and last warning.
WAREZ links are strictly prohibited.​
Organize your text
I don't want to break the rules, but would it be against the rules for him to private message me the link? if it's not, can whoever posted the link send it to me via PM? I REALLY love this game
just buy it
ive tried hardware accelerated version and couldnt get it to work on touch pro. havent tried sofware version

Interesting. Aren't the two pretty much the same except for externals?
Wow this is great. I played this game so much when it came out years ago. I'm going to install it now I hope it runs alright. If not, would the Xperia trick work on the touch pro as well?
it runs fine for me (touch pro with original rom). i have the software version and there is a libgles_cl that you need to replace with the version found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=415523
Okey i have been wondering about something for a very long time..
well this is what i do.
1. open up the hardware keyboard
2. launch the THPS2 game
3.configure the keys to the hardware keyboard which do work..
well playing with the hardware keyboard is perfect and great but when i exit the game the configuration of the keys sets it self to default... which is very annoying as i have to reconfigure the keys again after each time i launch the game.. well the game it self works as it saves it self and so forth so it's playable..
well are there any sollution for my problem or is it a bad-install?
Go to TH2_OPT.CFG file and uncheck 'read-only'. Now the settings will remain saved.

Almost.. xperia has more ram available for graphics (GPU)
So what do i need and where do i get it to, run Tony Hawk Pro Skater 2 on my HTC Fuze, please i really want this, it sounds like so much fun, so any help would be greatly appreciated
Any way to make it run reverse landscape instead of landscape? :|
well what i do is that i open my keyboard first and then launch the game and it will be in correct mode to the use of the keyboard.. is that what you mean Kraize?
@DSF: well the game runs really great and is very very playable.. not just for showcase.. well i use NATF rom v4.0 and it works really great... it's fully playable when the libgles files are changed and when the keyconfig read only trick is applied...
yeah, the catch is always open keyboard before launching app. came with cod2
i think i need to reinstall thps now because my playing screen is tiny

I need some good games...

There's plenty of information available if you search the Raphael forum for "emulator" or "gameboy emulator" or whatever you're after.

pokemon

Hey guys .. well I basicly wanted to ask a quick question ... would it be possible to run .. a pokemon game .. you the ones for nintendo ds lite ? ..... I do enjoy those games they help me kill time .. if you wanna contact me u can at [email protected] .. thanx guys if not just send me a message on here peace
u can use the kidd gbc which is a game boy color emulator but its pretty slow
Where do i find it ?
he said for the ds lite. for right now its only for gameboy color games
As an active member of both the Android and Pokemon communities, I can safely say it is impossible to run Pokemon D/P/P on Android (at least with the currently available hardware).
coolbho3000:
Why that? Because of the lack of screen/buttons/processing-power?
citizen-erased:
Nope, you can't. Look at the DS, and then look at the Dream. Do you see anything missing?

I guess if you had the source code from Game Freak, or you could even do a very accurate clone ... It's not a control issue (the bottom screen is practically useless in the game anyway). There's no way to do DS emulation on a G1 or any other Android hardware that's going to release this year. Hell, the best PC emulator is still slow on older computers.

i don't have a ds or ds lite or ds wifi or whatever the new one is, and i don't play pokemon, but i haven't posted much lately, and i want to stay consistenet on this site, and i want to up my posts, and if you haven't noticed yet i DO LOVE COMMAS, so, for lack of the obvious, i'm going to chime in here and say....

[Game] Teeter

Hya all,
Newish noob here, so bear with me.
I recently got the HTC Raphael (Touch Pro), and got addicter to the teeter game.
My gf also got addicted to it, how predictable ><
Now, my question is, is it possible to get the Teeter game on a Samsung Star.
I know it has got a motion sensor. But no WM. Wich basicly sucks.
Nevertheless, it's an awsome phone.
But, like i explained, it's missing the one part to make it more awsome. Teeter T_T
Can you guys provide me with the Teeter game for the Star, if this is even possible. Google can't help me, i think. I've tried searching, but ended up with nothing.
*falls on his knees and begs for help*
Sincerely, Mike.

The problem is that the program is written for Windows. It would be like taking a program written for Linux and using it on a MAC or Windows PC. You would need a Windows emulator for her phone. If I'm not mistaken, it is a proprietary OS on her phone which would make it unlikely that someone would spend the time to emulate a game or OS for a phone that has a "rare" OS.
On the bright side: Ebay is having sales on WM phones
So, it's a no go then? Bleh!
Thanks for your help ^^

Come on, get a grip... if you want iOS buy an iphone or itouch or even iPad, if windows mobile, you should get another htc. Its like I'm gonna ask can I get android on my Nokia 3310? ...
Please don't give such an appropriate question.

Yes but I think he asks because its possible the other way. Android OS has been ported to run on the iPhone afaik. Something many also thought was impossible.....

I bought a legend because of it's specs, screen, finish (aluminium casing),it cost way less than an iPhone, and finally because of Sense. The only reason i wanted to see would it work is because im sick of Google waiting to open the Paid market in Ireland (i know this is the case in alot of other contries aswell)

The HTC Legend has simular specs to the iPhone and you cant put the compare the Nokia 3310 in any way to the HTC Legend. As s7yler pointed out it the iPhone has been ported to Android. Im sorry if i took 2 minutes of your time but i was just curious if it would work, or if we could see it in the future! Hell i haven't even rooted my Legend yet! So thanks for your reaction, as i said i was just curious.

true even android can be run on some of the WM devices, because of the boot process, and phone spec. But iOS has completely different boot system/process though its not possible to run it on other devices (for now) , besides have you seen iOS run on any other devices then Apple's ? don't thinks so mate..
Also one big thing to remember...
The only reson android runs on ipod/iphone is because android is open source... and that is more easy to handle and port (Not that i am saying it was easy for them to port Android to the i devices as apple hardware is also keep as close source) then a closed source system as iOS....
It will be the same as porting Windows 7 to ARM or PowerPC cpu.... not something you can do without having access to the source code of windows...
Hmm i have run MAC OS on a pc so it is possible tbh

to be nice i wont say how many ways that statement is wrong...
but most of osx IS open source... NONE of iOS is open source...
And the only reson it is possibel to run osx on a pc is because the basic part of osx is open source and that is the kernel so it can be modded and rebuild to work on diffrent cpu's....
I know there are bin patched versions of the mach_kernel but they are never as good as the one that they make when apple release the source and that normal happens 14 days after the os update...
(to end this with a statement why i can say all this i can tell you i have been a active osx86 user the last 5 years, been really involved in the help channels and know a lot of the devs)

There is a solution to paid market not available. When I had android on my Diamond I used it for a while and the paid application were still unavailable in canada at this time so I made a little search on this and I found something.
There is an application that can make the market think you are from UK or US and then you have acces to all the paid application. You still need to pay but you have acces to buy them at least.
I don't remember the name but it was something like "market enabler". Sorry I erased all android data of my phone cause there is no more development in this direction and GPS, bluetooth and camera were still missing. I can't even think of living without google maps with AGPS and speeking while driving is illegal over here unless using a bluetooth headset or an hands free system.
Good luck with that.

just install market enabler app and u can use paid market, i live in Sweden and we don't have paid market enabled here yet, but with the magic of a rooted Legend and market enabler i bought an app yesterday and have installed and it's working 100%
As far as it comes to your question about if it's possible to run ios4: i think it's not nice of people to make fun of you for just asking, technics-geeks as we all are many of us just want to know IF it's possible.. people shouldn't be flamed just for asking.
i agree with the last post as well. and as i was seeking some answers i was disapointed when i saw some ppl who are making fun of the first post and playing smart as they aperently dont know **** about the question and dont even care about sharing knowlage (i dought they have any). instead all they do is sit there and ***** about being smart and thats so childish.
since im a new to this forums this gives me a perspective on what cind of ppl are hanging out here...and that usualy not a good sign to see

Not going into the legalities, but OSX is based on the same CPU's as ordinary PC's now days and has been for the past 3 - 4 years.
