Sad. Would have been fun. I might install 2007HE sometime and try it just to see. Just out of curiosity, how is performance on the n800 or n810?

About 17fps, nothing too fast, but playable

Never tried it on 770 i think.

Stupid question, and I didn't see it mentioned, but I've got an old rules.ini file that I always used to play with when playing the old C&C:RA that I loved to use. Would I be able to copy that over and use that for skirmish mode? Or do I need to hack the updated one you're using?

Oh yeah, and do the original expansion maps work too? I've got a bunch of really great expansion maps that were 3rd party add-ins and not Westwood originals.

Hi,

I installed this game last night and found it quite playable with the following caveats.

- I had to remove the 4 .ini files from the data/mix directory before I could get out of demo mode and into the full game mode.
- The full game mode doesn't seem to work the same way as the walk through indicates and as I vaguely remember playing years ago. Ex: The first Allied mission you are supposed to rescue two scientists and a helicopter is supposed to land to pick them up. As far as I can tell, the helicopter was present at the beginning of the mission and would not land although I could move it around. The only way I got the game to recognize the end of the level was to destroy all enemy structures.
- Saving doesn't work but after I completed the first level, the game started me on the 2nd level when I ran it.
- This game eats the battery, seriously.

I'm guessing multiplayer would be quite nice as there is no story line for the engine to follow.

It eats battery because it's CPU intensive.

Great scott! If they're giving away RA for free, then I doubt it would be too hard to either A) ask them to make a port for Maemo, or B) get the source code to speed up porting.

It will, trust me - at least the port part

Well I used to love playing RA day in and day out. I wonder if this will allow me to play RA now with greater ease.

This is awesome. I've got it working in demo mode but I'm unable to install my RA discs because of being on a 64bit OS.

I can't seem to get the tap to move very well but other than that it's awesome.

I was poking through the files and theres some FreeCnC left in it, any chance it'd be easily modifiable to change it to that too?
