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.

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.

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)

windows phone 7 my feeling

I have had my LG quantum for about two months now and couldn't be happier. I had an iPhone 4 and had gotten in a car accident and every call I mad to my insurance..... Disconnected I had to use someone BlackBerry who was also on att in order to get the proper assitence. So I sold my iPhone and got a Samsung galaxy s device.... It go so boring switching roms and the atrocious line up of apps in the app store got extremely annoying I couldn't any apps that were even near iPhone quality with being an app that I already owned on the iPhone and being that angry birds was their best game.... Waist of my time and by the way the phone I had was the Samsung captivate.
so windows phone 7 came out and I was like why not. I've tried everything else and was barley satisfied so I got the LG Quantum and boy am I pleased. Yea no copy and paste but the OS is amazingly smooth unlike my captivate and the games are what I look for fun and graphically acceptable. Not stupid jokes I wish the twitter app was better but the xbl integration is a work of art. I think I purchased like 12 games and for the most part I am happy.the OS will continue to develop and improve just like everything else. I remember in 08 when I had my g1 or was it 09.... Anyway I read in an article that the os would die because not enough devices or devs.... Well look at Android now. WP 7 is similar just needs a little support and it will blow up because its an amazing os and I'm using my quantum right now to right this. Smooth and quick. So yea I didn.t know where to write this so I did it here thanks for letting me vent

to me it sounds like ur 1 phone os far from realising theres nothing that would satisfy ur bi**y attitude and the problem is in you , so ur just trying to hold on a lame os which isnt good even by your own judgement(notice the "will"-s , a sign of wishful thinking) your hoping it gets magically perfect a day which isnt gonna happen , and ull utimately be faced by your sad self with your unreasonable standards

No no no u missed the point of my post. Do u own a WP 7? Being that I owned all three phones I can state I like the feel and potential of this OS no Microsoft didn't send me just tired of writers hating on the os but fact of the matter is that its a brand new os let it grow. I read its a dead OS today... How cause its in competition.. Well when Android came out it had to compete with IOS and windows mobile. It did fine so will this u tell me what's wrong with the os

go figure, someone posts something positive about wp7, and the android fanbois come running. I think they search the forum with terms like wp7 and focus.
I love my hd7, facebook integration means I actually check on my friends and family and seismic is a great twitter app. Sounds like IE is getting its own update very soon separate from wp7 updates (according to one of the MS engineers, he said to look for it in between the update coming and mango), and after mango, what will be missing? The only stuff I find annoying is that 3rd party apps can't run in the background yet, so opening links in twitter apps, takes you out of the app and sometimes you lose your place in the timeline.
The multimedia experience on this device has been so much better than winmo or android.

Wp7's UI is different, but I don't think it's beautiful. Besides, Wp7 has been out for a short time, so it has many shortcomings

I have tested it on my Leo for a couple of days and despite it´s nice I decided to go back to WM/Non NAND Android combo which is the best for me.

C'mon man how is it an iPhone wanna be? U sound stupid so any smartphone that takes a simplistic user friendly approach is a smartphone wanna be? Ur an idiot

I am a neutral person.
So before anyone shoots childish insults at me, I don't give a damn about them
In my honest opinion I have had and handled all three of the mobile OS and I believe each has their advantages and disadvantages, as all things in life nothing is perfect.
iOS: Alittle too closed off for my tastes. I enjoy a few of the apps on there but for everyone who says that the Android market has stupid apps...guess what??? SO DOES APPLE! I have seen soo many stupid ass repetitive zombie apps on there I was sick. On top of that it doesn't allow SD support, which is also a personal problem, I don't like that you have to rely on Apple's App store to download and control your apps. Aside from that it is a nice OS if you jailbreak it and mod it yourself.
Windows Mobile: Well, this was my first mobile OS honestly. I enjoyed the ROM support on it but when it came to the app department you needed to have a freaking treasure hunt just to find a decent game haha You could also have a decent amount of customization because you can change the registry and such and whatnot, but it was a lot easier to screw up and have problems with the OS.
Android: I have been using this OS ever since I got my HD2 haha I agree with the retarded apps in the market but it's easy to pick out the good ones from the retarded ones, in my opinion. When it comes to apps as well you can easily download and install an .apk from online or store it on your sd card instead of having to rely on the market to dominate your every move. I also think Android is the best one for customization, with iOS you can't even change your keyboard, you always get the same dull crap, wm is a little better but you can't really adjust your home without adding more programs on top of programs, using more memory than you really should just for one thing. Plus...flash, enough said.
Windows Phone 7: I have seen, touched, played with and borrowed a WP7, I do not like it. I didn't have it in my possession for an entirely large amount of time so I can't say much about it. Yes the WP7 is new and developing still but so was Android, and honestly even when Android matured what happened to it overall? Speed? A little bit of change in the look of it? I do not see too much noticeable change coming from it in the long run, just a few tweaks here or there. Some people call them Iphone wannabes...so do I. I believe that Jobs and Gates wanted to compete to see whose phone can be the most restrictive and simplistic. And again with iPhone as well, with simplicity comes beauty, yes it looks nice, but you can't really do sh*t to it besides adding live tiles...which isn't all that impressive. I believe that the WP7 is basically a Microsoft version of iOS. PLUS! You can't even put a freaking SD card into the phone without taking it apart and having it formatted to your device and losing all of your data on there.
Hate it or love it that is my opinion on these different OSs.

you can almost do all sorts of things just like all other smartphones
except that it has 'less apps on the marketplace or whatever you call it
well... at least it doesnt have those useless apps where you basically "drink" beer/air or "shave" nothing or idk what you name it... yet

cheers and have a nice day

Coming from a WM6 / 6.5 background - at first I found WM7 frustrating. (I've only had the phone a few days).
Initially the whole idea of having ALL contacts in one place completely freaked me out. Then I realised the O/S is sensible enough to only offer phone contacts when messaging / calling. Luckily most of my FB 'friends' haven't added phone contact details - but when they do, I'll be back to being slightly screwed on that front. Having de-duped and linked accounts, things don't seem so bad ... but I still think having overall groupings for contacts would help me in the long run. (I haven't seen what's due in any updates, so it's something that may be coming).
Asides from the Zune-like interface, the one thing that is frustrating me most is the lack of RDP software. I used that a lot on my XDA zest.
Oh, and not supporting custom ring-tones out of the box is annoying too. Like with any MS O/S, you just have to get used to it....
So far though I'm thinking it's working faster / better for me than 6.5 was with few issues, so I'm fairly happy about it.

The boyfriend came home with an ipod touch tonight... :(

So..
My boyfriend came home with an ipod touch. He is going on and on about all of the amazing vintage video recording and other apps that are iphone exclusive....
He is as tech savvy as I... yet now has changed his opinion on the superior operating system (Me: that's great, but you have to admit, android is much better. Him: no, I don't...) !!! GAH!!!
GRUMP GRUMP GRUMP!

Idk but i like em both equally.

No seriously, for me as i use a DHD dolby mobile and srs are great features but i dont know if the ipod also has those features, if not thats a big advantage for me...

I know everything that Android can do (obviously, I'm on XDA!) but I just prefer iOS for unknown reasons. It's just it does everything I want my phone to do, nice and simply. Also I just like the jailbreaking ability tbh. But I still love Android and everything about it.
The thing about themes, iOS is 1millionX better for theming whoever said show him themes on a rooted phone. It's all in a simple app store too instead of having to make sure a theme is compatible with your ROM etc.
If it's only an iPod Touch, then let him be. Just laugh at him for not having an iPhone.

Sent from a 13 year old. Gimme a break! Haha

excellent question! I wanna know cuz I want Sonic 4 for Android, and given how open source it, it wouldn't suprise me if someone knows how to port Apple Apps

Different operating systems. Apps and games need to be PORTED to android... You can't just install them.
It's difficult to explain without some computer/coding knowledge......
Think of it in terms of a game that comes out on PC, Xbox and PS3. The game is developed with console in mind and then ported to the other systems. Naturally the original is far better, it's what it was coded for and optimized for. The ports, unless rebuilt from the ground up, are never as good.
Just like you can't stick an Xbox360 disk in your computer and start playing, you can't install an apple application on Android. Porting is a pain-staking process, eventually a majority of apps on the Apple store will make it to Android, but don't hold your breathe.
It can be as open source as it wants, it's still a difficult and painful process to port it to another operating system. If it was easy every PC app and title would be Mac friendly and Apple/Linux users would have more than the small handful of games to play that they unfortunately have.
If you want sonic download a Genesis emulator and play one of the originals. Touch screen controller emulated controls suck though . Wish their was a better alternative.

If an app has been ported (think angry birds) it would be in the android market, amazon appstore or getjar.com (in the case of the newly released cut the rope.)

Sony PS Vita is horrible.

Now I say that but I really can't put my finger on why I think it sucks. I used mine for three days then returned it. I was annoyed with lack of battery life, I thought the games were similar to psp games. Holding it was odd and the screen was sub par to samsung's amoled. I was so excited to love this thing, oh well I'm done venting.

This doesn't surprise me. Their portable playstation line has never been as great as I hoped it would be. The same goes for their smartphones for that matter. Always look awesome before release, but then not so great afterwards.

Matter of taste. Love my psp i use it way more then my ds. And what model vita 3g wifi? Settings? Games? You gave no real info on why it sucks other then you thought it sucks. Its neginning library is going to suck thats how its always been with ps. Ps1 had no good launch games, ps2 didnt really have any, psp didn't have any and ps3 didn't have any so you based your hole experience off of three days when so far it looks like it only has one good game (uncharted)?
Not trying to sound like a jerk but really? Haven't got it yet and it will be sometime before i get one but yeah not ready to jump on board it sucks for no reason train just yet.

Best game I've ever had on the PS3, for both visuals and playability, came out on launch day and was indeed the first game I ever played on it - Motorstorm. Like you said - matter of taste.

Sorry, but your an idiot! You gave it 3 days and you think its crap? very bad....
please keep your smartphone for gaming like a nerd and leave the PS Vita alone...
better for us.
I bought it on day 1, and im absolutely surprised and i Love it soooo much!
Much more than any other console i had.

You need to calm down its just an opinion. If your OK with mediocracy then rock on.

Matter of taste. Love my psp i use it way more then my ds. And what model vita 3g wifi? Settings? Games? You gave no real info on why it sucks other then you thought it sucks. Its neginning library is going to suck thats how its always been with ps. Ps1 had no good launch games, ps2 didnt really have any, psp didn't have any and ps3 didn't have any so you based your hole experience off of three days when so far it looks like it only has one good game (uncharted)?
Not trying to sound like a jerk but really? Haven't got it yet and it will be sometime before i get one but yeah not ready to jump on board it sucks for no reason train just yet.

I love PSP the vital sucks though

I forgot about motorstorm.. that was pretty awesome
Looking forward to the vita release

Honestly don't think many gaming companies will jump on the Vita.
Smart phones and consoles is where the money is at.

I bought the PSP 2000 near release and absolutely loved it. I installed a custom firmware so I could play emulators (which was great), watch YouTube, etc. It was probably some of the best $$$ I had ever spent, because I used it for years.
I do not play on purchasing the PSP Vita, though. I don't think it'll be a failure or anything, I just don't see the need of it. I do all my on-the-go gaming on my phone. I know there is no "hardcore" games like Uncharted or anything, but more casual on-the-go fun games is what I favor.
Just my personal opinion, though.

I haven't come to a conclusion yet. It doesn't feel like the PSP when I'm holding it. I think that's throwing me off more than anything.
Currently playing Uncharted.

I am loving mine, I had a PSP-1000. I got mine fully updated to 2.00, way back when. I knew I was going to get the Vita when I saw the first trailer for it. I bought it thinking it was all ready a month or two old in the states, but oh well. I am looking forward to the Gravity Rush game looks awesome! I don't have uncharted but I am not a big Playstation guy, so I am new to the series. Worth getting? It just likes like a Prince of Persia like game.

I bought my PS3 the month it was released.I think it cost me some 600€.Back then I was like 12 or 13 years old,so it was money collected through the course of a whole year.I was really disappointed at first.Fast forwarding to February 28th of 2012,these 600€ are my best spent money,along with the 500€ I parted with for my Galaxy S 2,which too disappointed me at first,only to amaze me thrice as much afterwards.As Azrienoch says,that's the moral of the news!Don't judge any device from your first impressions with it.It's likely to be a wrong impression,because it's something different than what you're used to.Just a friendly word of advice.
Still,I'm waiting to see whether it'll fare well with remote play from the PS3.If I can play my PS3 games on it through wifi/etc,I'm sold.(checks wallet...)Well,maybe not yet.

It is a great device. The launch lineup is also very good, I think the best launch lineup ever. My only complain is the mediocre browser and lack of folders in the menus.
