Re: "Homeworld" on the N900 - Bringing a classic to Maemo 5
 

Look at the forum discussion slux linked a couple posts up. The OP made significant progress toward that, but i got the impression he agreed with a lot of the people in this thread: Homeworld on a small portable device would be rather hard to play.

I think we might need an app that would allow on-screen buttons or simply create buttons that would bind to specific actions.

Just replace the wording with icons, modify the tutorial text to explain more and we're all set :D

It's apparently a difficult one and the original porter seems to have given up for now. The game includes self-modifying assembly optimizations which I think was a major issue on top of the required porting to OpenGL ES
