Don't have any specs to confirm, but don't think it even manages to do a GF4 Ti4200 power... Probably even less...

Re: PC Games you want ported to Maemo 5?
 

wud love a tower defense type of game or something like plants vs zombies. those games are so simple yet addictive. i think timewasters are a great idea.

Re: PC Games you want ported to Maemo 5?
 

In terms of raw power it's comparable to the original GeForce or the GeForce 2 mx.

Re: PC Games you want ported to Maemo 5?
 

So, theoretically, it could run games like Doom3 or HL2 properly with lowest settings if they were ported and optimized specially for the N900?

Re: PC Games you want ported to Maemo 5?
 

I'd like to play Need For Speed III Hot Pursuit, It is an open gl game so maybe it could be ported

Re: PC Games you want ported to Maemo 5?
 

No, Doom 3 and HL2 would be impossible because the CPU can't handle that and there is no source available. I would say the source engine games might be possible on an overclocked N900 running everything at the lowest settings, but even then you need the source code and the only source available is the stolen pre-release code. I don't think anyone is going to touch that.

Re: PC Games you want ported to Maemo 5?
 

i would love xmoto, linux based. i think its open source.

Re: PC Games you want ported to Maemo 5?
 

best game ever :)

Re: PC Games you want ported to Maemo 5?
 

I agree.

also Evil Genius...

Re: PC Games you want ported to Maemo 5?
 

There are a couple of open source engines being worked on for Morrowind, but the chances of those being usable anytime this year are pretty slim.

Re: PC Games you want ported to Maemo 5?
 

xMoto for Maemo5 ?

Re: PC Games you want ported to Maemo 5?
 

FoFiX 4.0

Re: PC Games you want ported to Maemo 5?
 

id really liek to start using dos box on my n900 but i get stuck cause i cant map the keys or dnt know how to can anyone help?

Re: PC Games you want ported to Maemo 5?
 

Any of the older pre-2005 Championship Manager games!!

Re: PC Games you want ported to Maemo 5?
 

it would be great if soldat wass possible to be played on n900

Re: PC Games you want ported to Maemo 5?
 

Try Teewars, it's just as much fun as soldat.

Re: PC Games you want ported to Maemo 5?
 

lol soldat is much better than theewars x) that is why im asking for soldat

Re: PC Games you want ported to Maemo 5?
 

AND i hope RUNESCAPE will be made playabe somehow too!!!

Re: PC Games you want ported to Maemo 5?
 

I dont get why people would wana play homeworld on there n900... seriously how is that even gona work???

Any news on ROTT??? that could be easily played and theres a version on the iphone, GIMME THAT! ;)

Re: PC Games you want ported to Maemo 5?
 

Fallout, Fallout2?

Now, someone's trying to run this game with doxbox but its slow, ( i remember ~%60 of normal game speed )

Re: PC Games you want ported to Maemo 5?
 

I tried heretic in dosbox and it never loaded... Im sure it would have eventually but I didn't see the point, I wish tere was some optimisation done on dosbox, it's been sat in testing for ages and no1 seems to want to try and sort it out :(

I just want rise of the triad, I see it was ported to the n800 by qwert12 but no longer exists... :( anyone wanting to do this?

Re: PC Games you want ported to Maemo 5?
 

Some one please port PRINCE OF PERSIA 3D!!!

Re: PC Games you want ported to Maemo 5?
 

u can play the old prince of persia on picodrive ;) it's an updated version of the old pc game.

Re: PC Games you want ported to Maemo 5?
 

I like the ported strategy games, but how do you play 3d shooters, with no mouse and the N900 keyboard?

Re: PC Games you want ported to Maemo 5?
 

I don't know if this was already mentioned, but Starcraft!!!!

Re: PC Games you want ported to Maemo 5?
 

It was, it's not open. A project is underway, but stalled mid-development. Google "stargus"

Re: PC Games you want ported to Maemo 5?
 

@ndi, how would you play Homeworld though, surely you need the right mouse too?

As for FPS games, they can be a bit hard... I got quake2 on my n900 and it's just impossable to play, I can see that people may like to carry a keyboard and mouse but surely u might aswell just get a laptop or just play it at home? It's hardly something u wana show ur friends...

Some FPS games work well though, I have been paying zero tolerence on picodrive, and prdoom aswell, becasue the old fps games didn't require the player to look up or down these play rather well ;) rise of the Triad would probably be the close to the last FPS games where a mouse was not required.

Re: PC Games you want ported to Maemo 5?
 

Many games allow for a left click interface like Command and Conquer and Dune. Right click for the few could be hold stylus. Or drag or somesuck trick, if not widely used.

Re: PC Games you want ported to Maemo 5?
 

Ctrl + Click?
Fn + Click?
Shift + Click?

:)

Re: PC Games you want ported to Maemo 5?
 

proximity sensor + tap

Re: PC Games you want ported to Maemo 5?
 

FPS games aren't hard to control at all when you use the accelerometer to aim. You could use the keyboard for moving and for actions... This was done in the S60 ports of the Quake trilogy. Seems it's hard to get the same games ported to Maemo with full graphics, mod supports, etc. Is someone interested in porting these games?

Alternatively you could use a DualShock 3 or Sixaxis controller.

Re: PC Games you want ported to Maemo 5?
 

It still must be really hard though... I can't see playing homeworld on my n900 being a pleasurable experience. Still though, I would love to see a few strategy games, Cnc sounds like something I could play on the n900, as im sure the screen could be scrolled using the keys or did I dream that up?

I just want Rise of the Triad, pleeeeeeeeeease! :(

Re: PC Games you want ported to Maemo 5?
 

World of Goo.

Nuff said.

Re: PC Games you want ported to Maemo 5?
 

Doesn't aiming with accelerometers make you look like a tin-foil-hat rocker-impared person having a seizure?

Re: PC Games you want ported to Maemo 5?
 

It can't be more pleasurable than a large screen and mouse/keyboard. It's a port, so by definition out of its element. Still, in a bind, it's good.

For example, I play OpenTTD for hours when trapped, even though it's a game that welcomes huge screens and mice. Still, with a stylus, it's better than a nail in the foot and it does draw you in for the 3 hours you are trapped in a hair saloon in another town with only one car.

Re: PC Games you want ported to Maemo 5?
 

maybe it's just me, or perhaps a little too late in the day but the sentance "welcomes huge screens and mice" just sounds... well... like a drive-in for rodents. ;)

accelerometer sounds awefull for games like quake etc, I've seen the quake three demo and the it seems there's a reason it was only the first level showed, there's no way it can beet the mouse and kb combo. plus as Ndi points out, you'd look like a right burk shacking ur arm on the bus!

Re: PC Games you want ported to Maemo 5?
 

a) That was really funny.

b) You don't shake your arm, because that rotates the screen. To keep your sense of orientation, you need to keep you head aligned. NOW you look like someone who drank an unlabeled bottle.

Re: PC Games you want ported to Maemo 5?
 

See accelerometer control, to me it's easy!

Re: PC Games you want ported to Maemo 5?
 

YES. There is many ways to implement it and in that video it´s implemented in good way. Some keys to success

- Accelcontrol only turning (towards,backwards from keys)
- Give user access to sensitivity
- Also put some inertia to turning so that it doesn't react to too little turns but still reacts so that you do not have to tilt whole screen sideways

So....Do we have ANY game right now on N900 that can be installed pretty easily and has optimized accel.controlling taking account of list.

Re: PC Games you want ported to Maemo 5?
 

hmmmm will give it a go on quake2 if it has accelerometer...
