Is it possible to play Apple games on Nokia N900
 

Is it possible to play Apple (like iphone and ipod touch) games on Nokia N900 ??

Wondered :)

Re: Is it possible to play Apple games on Nokia N900
 

No.

Next question.

Re: Is it possible to play Apple games on Nokia N900
 

The official response seems to be:

"No, and we don't want all those fart apps."

Re: Is it possible to play Apple games on Nokia N900
 

I thought Angry Birds was originally an iPhone game?

Re: Is it possible to play Apple games on Nokia N900
 

And they ported it. No magic haxxing this time round.

Re: Is it possible to play Apple games on Nokia N900
 

meh..only game ever worth playing on the iTouch was the Tap Tap series

and MGS
and Parking Lot

Re: Is it possible to play Apple games on Nokia N900
 

Was MGS even that good on it?

IMO there are other much better games on iOS: Dead Space, Super Street Figher IV, GTA: Chinatown, Monkey Island (enhanced), broken sword (dir cut), Real Racing 2, Plants vs Zombies, etc etc so many others.

As I've said before, any apps ecosystem with sufficiently open publication model and good SDK will get apps in it; Both good AND bad.
One thing that separates big ecosystem than smaller ones: due to the economy of scale harnessed by the bigger ecosystem, apps/games/content that require higher investments will be targeted here first/primarily than the 'lesser' ecosystem.

ps: no, running monkey island on scumm is very different than this new version.

hahaahhahaahhahaahhahahaahhahahaahhahahahahahaahah ah

why dont u sale it?!

yeah,,, sale it,. and buy a Sagem! u are for a sagem if u ask something like that!!!!!

W MAEMO for EVER!!!

Re: Is it possible to play Apple games on Nokia N900
 

Nope.. Angry Birds was released on N900 first before it ever made it to the iphone (although it was in demo mode at the time)

Re: Is it possible to play Apple games on Nokia N900
 

Didn't know that, but thanks for the input.

Hey! did someone say we can get MGS (Metal Gear Solid?) on N900??? I'd love to know how. Please share!!!

Re: Is it possible to play Apple games on Nokia N900
 

Apple II, on the other hand. I believe there was some work done by ArnimS on the 770/N8x0 in porting an emulator, so theoretically it could be possible.

I wouldn't mind playing a little Choplifter every now and then...

Re: Is it possible to play Apple games on Nokia N900
 

Well, with Basilisk I remember running Mac Os7 and Os8 on the n800, including apps and games. Os7 was actually quite useable. I haven't gotten Basilisk to work on the N900 (then again I am no expert on Linux, and it shoud be quite easy), however.

Interesting how the N900 can even have OSX on it, but not iOS... ha!

Re: Is it possible to play Apple games on Nokia N900
 

You can play MGS1 with bonapart PS1 emulator :P

Wow... Just wow.....:rolleyes:

Re: Is it possible to play Apple games on Nokia N900
 

Really, I thought the MGS iPhone game was just an on rails shooter.

I'd rather play the actual Metal Gear Solid game on my N900's PSX emulator.

Re: Is it possible to play Apple games on Nokia N900
 

isn't there a way to play something like tap tap revenge?

Re: Is it possible to play Apple games on Nokia N900
 

Oh yes, I forgot about Basilisk.

Re: Is it possible to play Apple games on Nokia N900
 

Give the fact that they both have ARM CPUs and similar hardware, I would guess that it is possible to play Iphone games on the N900 if someone were to write something similar to WINE (to translate Iphone system calls to N900 system calls).
But of course, that's a huge task and is probably not worth the time.

Re: Is it possible to play Apple games on Nokia N900
 

i would prefer an apple ii emulator
*runs away*

Re: Is it possible to play Apple games on Nokia N900
 

what the??? look at the tags - "sextuple fpalm" ?!?!?! LOL!!!

seriously, if you want to run apple games, get one of their devices.

Re: Is it possible to play Apple games on Nokia N900
 

Seriously can we stop all the crap about 'no, get an apple device' blah blah blah, all the same old useless junk, need i remind you all that the N900 is a platform which can be built up to anything, and there is a massive array of iphone/pod games and apps out there, if the N900 could see such light it would be massively beneficial.

It just seems like everyones being blatent one sided and fanboyish to the N900 when i would very like (And i know a dam lot of people that would enjoy the capability to play their fav games on the n900 over i series devices,

Now can someone with some porting/coding experience tell us if its actually doable or not?

I'm not having a go or out, but i've seen what the community has done to the N900, so dare i ask, why stop now? :)

Re: Is it possible to play Apple games on Nokia N900
 

if nokia actually supported the ovi store it could of had alot of apps they're fault for being idiots

Re: Is it possible to play Apple games on Nokia N900
 

wrong! youre not the first person here to say that though. it was on iphone first. as if rovio would think oh lets make an epic game for the n900, that only a few people have lol. it was originally on the iphone and ported to n900 after it did so well.

Re: Is it possible to play Apple games on Nokia N900
 

you apparently have reading comprehension problems

when people say get an iphone to play iphone games, guess what they are saying in reference to your question.

Preenv and emus are totally different issues - before slamming other posters who replied how about you get off your lazy *** do some reading on threads yourself.

Devs are not gods - we are not in the matrix - and despite the n900 fanboyism here, there are very real limitations to what can be done on the n900.

Re: Is it possible to play Apple games on Nokia N900
 

fear not guys, were getting the android app :-) second best thing to iphone apps right :-)

Re: Is it possible to play Apple games on Nokia N900
 

@crail

I severely doubt we'll ever officially get it. The company stated that it will only be released to carriers and device manufacturers as a means of making application deployment across platforms easier.

Re: Is it possible to play Apple games on Nokia N900
 

oh i didnt know that

Re: Is it possible to play Apple games on Nokia N900
 

While you are cussing a poster please remember limitations are only in your own backyard !.

Limitations and the Nokia N900 dont come together somehow.

Re: Is it possible to play Apple games on Nokia N900
 

Oi, **** chatter, your still spouting crap, guess what, these emus are running native to the n900 hardware, so how about you get off your *** and do some reading.

Devs clearly are gods, they are the matrix (and your clearly stupid) and your very wrong, the limitations don't stretch far enough, its blindness and arrogance that prevent even basic research into these things...

Your blindness and arrogance, now get lost troll!

Re: Is it possible to play Apple games on Nokia N900
 

probably not possible, but if it was then most games require the iphone/touch/pad capacative screen so not many game apps would run to well on the N900s resisitive screen

Re: Is it possible to play Apple games on Nokia N900
 

I'm sorry, but that's just priceless.

Re: Is it possible to play Apple games on Nokia N900
 

Catacylsm and abill_uk, are you guys for real, the N900 is more almost two years old, how do you expect it to run emulators that need to rescale the resolution and match faster/better hardware?

It's one thing overestimating the Maemo developers' abilities to think they'd cope with hardware limitations, but why do you underestimate iOS developers and think they coded applications that don't make full use of the hardware they are meant for?

Much wishful thinking on this thread... sextuple facepalm may be too little...

Re: Is it possible to play Apple games on Nokia N900
 

There are some temporary solutions to multitouch as far as that goes (again see preenv)

As for hardware limitations this is inaccurate to some extent, remember that even the early gen touches are still running fine on hardware very similar to our own, not only that but rumour had it back then that the hardware was also downclocked/limited? the n900 runs under full power, and i'd also say that the majority of users running 800 plus overclocks are slightly, large hehe

resolution scaling i doubt will be needed,just stretch to fit with its ratio to avoid the n900 rendering more then it needs too, the ipad does it fine, but stretched due to the 10 inch wopper it handles.

So again i'm seing no issues and while you have valid points i'm doubtful of them affecting the process too much, technology hasn't moved too much in 2 years tbh, just the samsung galaxy having like half the power of the ps3 or something i read haha.

Re: Is it possible to play Apple games on Nokia N900
 

Everyone needs to stretch things with a 10" whopper from time to time.

Re: Is it possible to play Apple games on Nokia N900
 

Now that my friend, is priceless ;)

Re: Is it possible to play Apple games on Nokia N900
 

I was almost definitely talking about my tracksuit and burgers, but read into it what you will.

Re: Is it possible to play Apple games on Nokia N900
 

Not sure about that given Rovio is based in Finland and Nokia tried to cut some deals with them (including the incomplete Bounce). I could distinctively remember playing it upon release of the N900 (November 2009) and was first released on the iphone in December 2009.

The only difference was, iphone was a "full version" whereas N900 was a Demo since bloody Nokia took forever to get OVI store working properly for N900.

Re: Is it possible to play Apple games on Nokia N900
 

Maybe Nokia knew that they would not support the N900 for a longtime, that's why they did not managed to release a full version.
So all of that being said, please, stop insulting at yours and let's concentrate us on the subject. It's true that the N900 has some limitation, but one year later we couldn't imagine that it would be able to perfectly run WebOS games or even Android Apps. So c'mon guys.... Be optimistic and let's demonstrate to nokia that they did a wrong choice throwing away maemo/meego.

Re: Is it possible to play Apple games on Nokia N900
 

It seems that nobody is interested by this project...!!! :D

Re: Is it possible to play Apple games on Nokia N900
 

Err.. How do you suggest that someone should start? OK.. lets brainstorm..

How about writing the letter to Apple and say that you want to do an open source version of iOS for N900 and would love if they can release every bit of their source code? Call up my mate Steve Jobs and ask him for the code?

How about reverse engineering? hmmm.. hack the roms and work back?

How about... if someone ports over OpenDarwin and rewrites the Core OS, Core Services, Cocoa and Media Abstraction layers - then does a Springboard equivalent shell? Along with writing the drivers to work with the 100 odd hardware functions of the N900.

Not to mention Apple's Lawyer armies once you have gotten to a working state?

All of those months and months of effort.. to do something that you can for the total grand price of $200 USD to buy an ipod touch 4th Gen 8GB? What is it going to prove??

"I too would like to see PS3 games on my N900 too.. but no one wants to port that across.." (Sarcasm, folks..)
