Re: Iphone games on n900??
 

@numair: I don't use my n900 much or play games on it..

- Bounce is a good showcase, albeit way too short if you actually wanna play it for real...
- Angry birds is a favorite here... but if you have the iphone\ipad, then it's much better to buy it from the AppStore. Cheaper and comes with 3x as many levels.

If you're into emulator, there's a bunch of console and yester-years computer emulator. That's N900's strength, in this category...

I was trying to run an .ipa
So, what I figured out:

.ipa is actually an .zip
But it'd need something like wine, as on angry birds v1.6.1 i get the error

The same does preenv

EDIT: wait a bit... How was Wine written? How does it exactly work?

BRAINSTORM::how can we make some kinda Wine for iPhone apps?!

Re: Iphone games on n900??
 

So are .deb files

Re: Iphone games on n900??
 

Actually .deb files use the ar format.


Edit:
In C.

It tries to reimplement the Windows API. For details please see the their development section: [1]

Why would somebody want to do that? :confused:
Seriously, I have immense respect for the technical achievements of the wine project but I think creating a compatibility layer for another closed source system by stumbling in the dark due to lacking or even misleading documentation and without getting any help from their side is a lost cause - even for a big project like wine.
Our little community, which is barely able to maintain the own platform, should not step into that ring.

If you want to run Windows programs, get Windows! And if you want to run iOS programs get an iPhone!

Being able to migrate applications to another platform is a good way to expand uptake of a new platform. Not always the case, of course, but games usually make only small use of platform APIs
