Quake 2 for android

http://quake2-android.sourceforge.net/
looks promising and dev is offering beta testing for those who donate over $3. I dont have a paypal account, anyone test this yet?
thanks

WOW!
from what i saw that looked great!
i love first person shooters and will sooooo drain a battery if they get games like this on our android os!

Just donated five dollars, I'll post up a quick run down once I get my grubby paws on an apk

I won't risk donating for this one
The guy is the infamous Valdimir Silva - with the worst and sloppiest ports of games like Doom and Quake. I seriously doubt this one will be an exception, but we'll see. Please give us feedback if you get the app. I hope he actually sends you an apk and doesn't take donations for some vaporware or a doom WAD for Quake 2, which I remember exists. I bet his next "port" will be CS 1.6 - there's a doom WAD for De dust too

let us know how it is

i want quake3 arena so i can play some instaunlagged on my phone

Force closing after one one run, however, during that one run, it's pretty smooth.

where do i get the pak0.pak? i'm having trouble downloaing in my area and it tells me to get the pak0.pak and move it over using cpu?

Unreal Tournament being ported to Linux is almost impossible because it uses the Unreal Game Engine, which is created by Epic Games and is NOT open source... I mean, you could get the code off some shady torrent site, but there's no possible legal way of porting Unreal Engine to anything other than Windows, Mac OS X, PSP, PS2, PS3, Xbox, Xbox 360, Gamecube, Wii, etc...
The Quake engine's source code was released, so it is possible to run Quake now on a PSP, iPhone, ANDROID, etc.
P.S.
If there was an HTC Android phone with a full keyboard, a VERY FAST CPU, a high-res display, 512 MB RAM and some really good GPU, we'd be running Quake 3 and going to WLAN parties by now

Back to evaluating the game.

Pretty choppy on my phone. Not surprised, though.

what ROM are you on? and what phone? i'm on the HTC dream xROM 1.5r4 with about 40 apps (apps2sd of course) and my sdcard specs are in my sig. things runs smooth as hell with NO sound. WITH sound it runs a bit choppy.

G1 with the latest CM rom. I'll try it with no sound and see if that helps.
Thanks.

How do you enable sound
How do you huys enable sound. I saw there was a setting toggle while you are in game and use the menu of the application - toggle sound and toggle onscreen controls and I toggle the sound but nothing happens. Do you have to restart the game to get sound to work? A pretty damn good port btw - I regret saying bad things about the dev...

I am trying to run this, keeps F/C on start though. It ran after I first installed it but seems to hate me now.

Yep, same here. It worked once and that was about it.

you guys wouldn't happen to be running CM would you?

UT is probably not the best example for a difficult linux port. "Porting" Unreal Tournament to Linux consists of installing it with the Linux installer provided by Epic themselves.

Well, I was 'till recently.
Seems only to be F/Cing for CM Donut users. I've been using XRom for a while, works perfectly (excellent port, no lag with sound disabled)

N64droid!!!

although this is more than two months ago, and psx4droid has several known problems I can't wait till this comes out!

sick - im eagerly anticipating this myself

in other news, from twitter
"zodttd: @Rotkaeqpchen It's in the works, but I'm focusing on psx4droid's update at this moment."

If he's not working on it I wish he would just give me what's done so far and I could finish it he can buy the rights to it so I can't make any money off it I just really want it on my phone.

why don't you contact him, i could send him your info on twitter

It's like ZottD is dead or something, no posts on his webpage about anything for 2 months. I hope he's just working behind the scenes, and hopefully not doing what the rumors are about going back to development on iOS. :/

no zodttd is answering people daily on his twitter page, and he says he's working

Good to hear! definitely looking forward to trying an n64 emu... man I imagine it would be hard for touchscreen controls only though for most games. .... maybe not though.

False. He said a few days ago that it

any updated news?...

i think n64oid might be dead in the water.....

I am not excited about this. Psx4droid is mediocre and un usable if I don't find an old version and n64 is much more graphically intensive. His iphone psx4all runs much smoother on lesser hardware.
I hope the fpsce team chooses to make and android app.

You think its unplayable? Its perfectly playable when you have the phone running 1ghz or higher...the sound is just distorted sometimes. I think they have a pretty good beta. I want someone to finih it.
That being said, the n64 used too many buttons simultaneously to work good on a phone imo...

I think the older versions are playable actually i do play them some. For the current version in the market every game I have tried to play has had completely broken sound. The most typical problem is the it either slows waay down or hangs completely. With no sound the nostalgia feel is easily cut in half for me so i usually just sigh and say whats the point and do something else.

[Q] Spectral Souls

Has anyone tried downloading this and running it on their Gtabs? just checked today and they had a new update that allows for tegra 2 support. I've had my eye on this game for quite some time but was reluctant due to the lack of tegra 2 support and the small disclaimer/known issue in the description that said "could not work & crash on 'uncertified' Google Android devices like Archos Tablet, Nook, etc".
So before i go psycho on my wallet and spend +/- 15 usd on this thing, I need someone who owns a Gtab, and was brave enough to buy this game, to confirm compatibility and if so, list down known issues based on experience. Thanks again xda peeps!

nice, there is another thread about this game i think. a guy was wondering why the game would crash on him lol. you should search for that thread and ask him to update his app.

i must be getting rusty w/ my searching skills but so far the only threads i've seen about the game are for non tegra 2 devices (NC, Dell Streak, phones, etc) so really somewhat of an "apples and oranges" type of comparison. anyway just checking if anyone who owns the Gtab specifically have tried this game out lately... but no rush (considering that the update was just rolled out less than 24 hrs ago). eagerly awaiting for some first-hand insights!

Just noticed it this morning too. Good chance that I will try it this evening. I honestly don't see why it would crash on the nook though. If all else fails, I still have my Captivate to play it on. It did look nice on the g-tab when I watched it on youtube. I can say this, if your a fan of classic rpgs the sound track alone will blow you away, at least all of what I heard.

I took the $15.00 plunge this morning. The game has a 1 GB download for game data, so you're going to go well beyond the 15 minute refund limit. On the other hand, you gotta love any program that simulates Pong while the download is being counted down.
Once the download is complete, I'll let you know. Looks like it's gonna' take a couple of hours as I'm running this off a EVO hotspot.

looking forward to your impressions of the game -especially those very noticeable pros and cons! i've been a long standing fan of classic JSRPG's ever since i first played final fantasy tactics a long while back and have been left hooked ever since (even enjoyed 2D JSRPG's with mediocre-to-crappy graphics)

The download continues...and Pong is suddenly less fun to watch than it was in my youth. About 1/3 of the way home....

Winner!
Download is done....and Pong now totally sucks. Anyway, bottom line is.....it works. While I haven't had a chance to go too far into the the game, I can tell you that the soundtrack and graphics are both top notch! Is it worth $15.00? Yes.....yes it is if you're into this kind of game.
If you were waiting to buy this but were worried about it running on the GTab, I say go for it. Mind you, I'm on Vegan 5.1.1 so I can't talk about any other ROM.

Thanks for taking the plunge. I had been reading the market reviews to see if a gtablet owner was satisfied. Its way easier to toss 15 bones into the aether knowing your getting something from it.

[APP] Solitaire Spider

I'm an Solitaire Spider addict, so I wrote one for myself.
Here is market link:
https://market.android.com/details?id=magory.solitairespiderhd
The app was only tested on Transformer and in emulator and it's my first application on this platform, so I'm a little worried if I didn't make some mistakes. On Xoom it should work without problems, though.
UNDO is under back button, to move cards you have to drag and drop (I considered other methods but that seemed most natural). It should work also on smaller tablets but I have to test it more.
All feedback appreciated.

This is a great game. However, after playing for a while when I restarted a game the cards started stacking behind each other not on top.

Just a another question. It doesn't affect gameplay but the pics next to the New Medium and New Hard games don't match the suites played. New Medium shows all 4 suites and New Hard shows only 2 suites.

Also, are you able to disable the screen rotation or prevent the game resetting if you accidentally rotate the screen? Hope these suggestions are helpful.
Cheers

Thanks for suggestions. I'll fix the bugs after weekend. Saving game state is in plans (and I have to do something with rotating screen, I forgot to test how it behaves then).

Solitaire Spider had some updates since my last post. Meanwhile I made another, more complicated game - https://market.android.com/details?id=magory.memoryowlhd - Memory Owl HD. Check it out.

Just downloaded very nice game thanx

I just got some bad notes for my games - it really hurts. I hope people would add a review with information why they gave one star. The only explanation I got on one game was "it doesn't work on my phone" with no crash report, and no information on what phone.
Well, the question is - what should I fix in the Solitaire to make it better? It doesn't work fine on small phones, but I don't think I could fix that without, well, writing a new one (this is designed with tablets in mind) - I also don't want to block such devices, because well, for some it might work... Or maybe I should block normal screens?

What solitaires you like the best? I'm going to make a few others soon probably. Right now am working on Klondike, but don't know which are most popular... Aisle Riots maybe?

I made Klondike: https://market.android.com/details?id=magory.klondikesolitairehd
And FreeCell: https://market.android.com/details?id=magory.freecellhd
I'm working on a new Spider version similar to this FreeCell - with better cards for small phones and better usage of the screen estate. I'll post more info soon.

If you are asking, I found this game called 40 thieves and would love a cleaner looking version of that. Thanks for asking

Looks interesting like a mix between Spider and Klondike. I added it to the list, thanks.

Thank you. Let me know if you need a tester.

Contact the developer.

Only gonna support xipera play from what I understand officially..

I remember one day I was digging throug emuparadise and seen they had a android games section well it happens to be that a cracked version of mc is on there. I can open it on my droid navigate menus and such but when I open the game it gives me about 10 seconds to move then the phone freezes. I think if someone knew how to edit the file just a slight bit it would work. Also a six axis controller app is required.

I reeeeeeeeally hope we can play it on our phones.

just a wild guess but I'm willing to bet itll use virtual keypad/buttons

I can't wait for this app to come out for everyone else. I saw someone playing it on their Xperia Play phone last week and it looks quite awesome. It's not as fully featured as the desktop version of Minecraft of course, but it's still got enough to it to make it worth it in my opinion.
