I'm using the non-sw version of the .deb package (since the share ware version had more errors) with my own duke3d.grp from the game disc. But you can use the duke3d.grp file from the 3Drealms Share Ware distro of the game as well.

Here's a copy of the SW grp file (just unzip first):

http://drolyag.tripod.com/duke3d.zip

Be sure to put duke3d.grp file in your memory card's /share/duke3d directory. (keep it all lowercase)

Download and install the .deb file from:

http://repository.maemo.org/extras/p...emo2_armel.deb


Before running the game the first time, edit the following file:

/usr/share/duke3d/duke3d.cfg

Change the screen size to 800x480

If you run the game before editing this file, you'll need to edit the copy that's created at first run time. That's in:

$HOME/.duke3d/duke3d.cfg

You can also customize your controls in this file if you like, but it's easier to do this in the game settings itself to whatever is most comfortable for you.

Remember, in the game toggle on the Mouse look button and you can then look and aim with the N900's touch screen!

Biggest gripe is that the N900 has no ESC key and you can't bind that function to anything else in the config file. So if you want to navigate the game's menus to save/load, customize controls, or cleanly exit the game you must use a bluetooth keyboard or keyboard input over a VNC server.

Of course if you just want to quit the game, you can just tap the power button and click "end current task".

I DL'd the deb and tried installing and it was missing dependencies. I tried to get it out of the repository thru the app manager and it failed due to dependencies as well.

No matter where it's at, the loader complains it can't find the grp file. Clues? The error file has duke3d.grp in all caps?

I ran the binary in an xterm but it just hung after asking if I wanted to use the defaults. Any ideas where else to look?
