Quake 3 Engine on G1 - thanks OpenGL

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fokeI3Ynuc4
Hope some developers take use of this soon ;D

How about old school q1/qw. i'm still a big fan, and it's opengl
Might run better for this hardware

I concur. A lot of the games for Android are fun yes, but however, none of them are amazing nor graphically intensive. Establishing an engine that runs (optimized, once this one is) in Android will add another tool to the shed. Who doesn't want to play Quake on their phone anyway?

exactly, Quake III won't run well. Quake I on the other hand might... oh wait it has... the version was demoed on the G1 before release. ANd never reappeared. now it is possible with Open GL.

My thoughts exactly! It was getting roughly 30FPS running at 384mHz, imagine at 528mHz, maybe 2000FPS?!?!?!?!? haha.

that was 30 frames before any kinda optimization. so this is a real good method to develop games. and it looks great on the g1

GTA 2?!

Hi there ,
ive got a simple question for you
Is it possible that Gta 2 will come out on the G1?!
It would be so great to play my favorite oldschool game on the G1
Thanks and Bye

With some Luck you will be able to play the GTA2 Playstation version in near future with MESS

you can ALREADY play the GAMEBOY version using Kidd gbc...

thats a joke
kiddgbc sucks
10fps
lol.

Well hopefully we get update soon so they will run a bit faster!

ive hit around 12, maybe 13, havnt hit 15 yet, even though, its still to laggy for me

i've been waiting for an update since the beginning of kiddGBC the dev claims there's a reason we can't faster, i'll see if i can find the email and put up his reason. if i remember correctly it was that java stuff was missing something

The KiddGBC developer is to silly to run native code on the G1 so his emulator uses only dalvik and so it sucks big time!
It is indeed possible to run native code on the G1 ... the ScummVM emulator and the arcade one does it!

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)

[Q]Games

What are some good games Aria ppl are trying? I know its small screen will deter some from playing games but it can handle alot.
I've been playing the Sims 3 for a while but I think there are some better graphic ones that it could do as well. The emulators are retro but has anyone tried psx4droid? Id like some feedback on that. MT3GS ppl say some psx games are laggy!

Well I know the screen is small so I found that you can use a wii controller.

You can do one of these with the WiiMote too! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6rxJq6tQVw8&feature=related
As far as games go, I haven't downloaded many. I like Traffic Jam tho. I probably won't install any emulators for a while. I'm having too much fun with customizations to have anytime for games haha.

Guitar Hero is great

have you guys actually tried this on your aria? Or are you saying it is possible. Because from what i've been reading/tried, it isn't.

Nah, I haven't tried it. I just thought it was pretty crazy and wanted to share the video.

yea, unfortunately... the bluetooth stack used in our phones are not compatible with the wiimote. So unless that changes, you're not going to have any luck using that particular remote.

Not true. I have hooked up my wiimote to play game boy advance games.
Things you will need:
1. Rooted phone.
2. CyanogenMod rom. Nothing with HTC Sense. Again if you are using Stock, Stock w/Root, or Liberated Stock it will not work.
3. Goto market, download "Wiimote Controller" by C.C.P. [email protected]
4. Follow Setup on the app. It will set up as another keyboard. Only useful for a handful of other apps, but like I said I use it for GBA

thanks for replying, i've been trying to find out if the cyanogen rom made changes to the bluetooth stack. Asked it twice and no resonce in that thread. Figures that I'd get an answer here lol.
This is good to know that it works when i make the switch from liberated to cyanogen

Thanks. It is awesome. I'm gonna try Gameboid later and see if I can get Advance Wars for it.

Guns 'n' Glory FREE is a great tower defense like game with a Western cowboys and indians twist. even the free version is hard enough to keep anyone entertained for a good while.

I like the games My Paper Plane 2, and Home run Battle 3D... The touch screen controls on the aria such too much for proper emulator gaming

Since not many people talked about the emulators, I guess I shall write a bit.
So I've been playing around with the emulators for the past week or so. I have the SNESoid, Gameboid, and PSX4droid emulators. Anyway first the SNES emulator. For the most part, games play pretty well. There is some occasional slowdown but not much. There is a bit lag though on games that use the SA-I processor (mario rpg and kirby super star). Sound on a few games are a little choppy but for the most part, it's decent. Just have to tinker with the settings. Games like super mario world (i have all stars) plays very well. Chrono trigger plays nicely too. I have close to 20 roms right now.
Next is the Gameboid emulator. I have a few roms for the gba emulator (FFI and FFII, and a gundam game, have tried a few others but decided to delete them lol..). I must say, the gba emulator runs the best. It's seems like the Aria hardware was made to play gba games lol. There's no lag whatsoever and the sound is great! I find it ironic because the gba had better hardware than the snes so you would think the snes roms would play better. I think later I'll try more roms like advanced wars or something.
Last is the PSX4droid emulator. Well let's just say it can play the games. First game I tried was chocobo racing. It was a little slow and the sound was bad. Then I tried digimon world 3. The game played well but a little slow and the sound was also bad lol. I'm going to try brave fencer musashi and warcraft II next. Both are currently being downloaded.
Oh btw...I suppose it would make a difference but during my gaming, I only had around 30-40mb of ram. Maybe I should've killed the other apps to gain more memory. I suppose it would run a bit better?

Angry birds beta is the funnest game i've played on the aria yet!

Good review, I've only tried snesoid thus far. Super mario rpg did see a bit of a speed up for me when I switched to cyanogen. I think I still had to set it to skip a 4 frame max though. The audio was fairly bearable then.

Angry Birds making me angry

Ive got a non-rooted android 2.1 Droid Eris. Ive downloaded the angry birds full APK to my phone, one from getjar and one from a mirror. They are both in my downloads folder on my SD card. Whenever i try to install either file, the phone says im out of space. I uninstalled and cleaned up alot of stuff. It seems i only have 31mb of free space but i dont think that would be a limitation. I dont know how big this damn game is but id think 30mb is enough. Why am i having this issue and how do i get about it? Im now less interested in playing the game and much more interested in not letting it defeat me haha.

One work around is to use apps2sd. That'll install it for sure. That's the only way I managed to install large games like this and Krazy Kart Racing.
Keep in mind Angry Birds is not fully compatible with mdpi devices. It'll install but you'll experience the dreaded white background/terrain as well as some lag on certain levels.
*Edit* Never mind. I see you're not rooted. Disregard.

Got it. Used appbrain and fast web installer and that did the trick.

Someone mentioned something about opengl es 2? Could we use that to boost performance of this game?
