I'm a newb, don't know much about wine and the n8*0s, but... we got to be able to at least swing Diablo 1... anyone even tried messing around with these?

Re: Diablo & Diablo 2
 

Nope, I don't think so. You see, all games that the tablets have have already been released in Linux as far as I know. They have just ported them over to run on Maemo. I don't think there is a linux version of Diablo. I could be wrong though.

Re: Diablo & Diablo 2
 

Before receiving my n800, I was planning on playing diablo on it using vmware and vnc on my homeserver. I've since given up on the idea because the frame rate was just too low.

man i wish, haha one can dream...

Re: Diablo & Diablo 2
 

well, I'll keep dreaming. Maybe one day I'll geek out on it. saw reference to diablo 2 with wine, but i tthink that's it.

Re: Diablo & Diablo 2
 

does Diablo run in wine? I would imagine someone would need to compile wine for the tablet, I have no idea how big wine is or if its easy to compile for the tablet.

Re: Diablo & Diablo 2
 

Diablo 1 works with wine. I used to play it on my Slackware. Its a good game. It would be nice to be able to play it on the Nokia Tablet. :P

Meet me at cloud 9... XD

Re: Diablo & Diablo 2
 

Pretty hard, I'd say. Wine doesn't run on ARM as far as I know.

Re: Diablo & Diablo 2
 

I guess, as windows bins's are x86 even if wine was compiled, prob wouldn't be able to execute x86 programs on an ARM arch.

WINE : Wine Is Not an Emulator ...

so doesn't emulate x86 on arm !
