Phew, I have been really busy these couple of month, this port took a lot
of time to finish because of the OpenGL part.
Here is the first released version.
This is for the OpenGLES supported phones only
Read the ReadMe file inside the zip carefully!

It doesn't seem to work for me. I am using an N95 8GB. I installed the game (full) but it did not work. I could not install the SDL as it said that it was not compatible wiith phone and it cancelled the install when I ignored the warning. Is there a way around it?
ReplyDeleteI also have a n95 8GB.
ReplyDeleteWhich version of the SDL you have tried to install?
try this: http://koti.mbnet.fi/mertama/downloads/sdl-1.2.14-s60-2.4.3_armv5.sisx
Install the SDL first then the game.

Unbelievable! Game super! Sorry to C5-00 is not a 3D accelerator, so I can not play it on a smartphone ... Ronen K you have other ideas in terms of porting games?
ReplyDeleteSID have you tried running it on your phone ?
ReplyDeleteI have tons of ideas of stuff to port, do you have any suggestions ?
Ronen K, so I ran this game on your Nokia c5-00, the game goes without flights only when running a music player, but details of drawing the game is incomplete, it is distorted. On such as N95 smartphones, n82, etc. game is working fine))))
ReplyDeleteCan be ported:
- Abyss: Incident at Europa, The
- A.G.E. (Advanced Galactic Civilizations)
- Alien Odyssey
- BioForge
- Crusader: No Regret
- Dune, Dune 2
- Star Wars: X-Wing
- Alien Breed
- Alien Carnage
- Space Hulk
- Stardust
- Zone 66
- Worms 2, Worms Armageddon,
- Street Fighter Alpha 2
- Fallout
But I do not know whether there are sources for these games ...
When porting a game I consider several things
ReplyDelete1. Is the source code available for the game ?
Or an engine recreation.
2. Does the game play at resolution 320*240 ?
3. Can the game work without a mouse ?
From the games you have mentioned the only game that has source code is Dune 2 (a recreated engine) and then you need to have a mouse for the game because it's RTS and response time is critical I can create a virtual mouse using the Accelerometer but response time will be crap.
R.K.
I understand ))))... and possibly backport Road & Track Presents: The Need for Speed? It seems to meet all the demands, but need the source code ...
ReplyDeleteGame doesn't work on my E60. I can't install SDL 1.2.14 (installer reports this version is not compatible with my phone), have to use SDL 1.2.13. After starting the game it says "Error! Couldn't create audio thread" and then send me back to phone menu. Any advice?
ReplyDeleteMike.
That is strange man, can you check free memory on the device ?
ReplyDeleteYou're right, there was not enough free RAM. Now the game is working, but performance is below the sea level even with all settings set to low. My phone is too old for such games... But thank you anyway!
ReplyDeleteThe reason it is so slow is that your phone does not have a hardware accelerator for OpenGLES.
ReplyDeleteOtherwise it should have worked fine.
