Umm, found this now. Well the chip supports it but IMO it is usable only for lower resolutions, you can't fit 800x480x32bits into Epson controller memory (770 - 768KB, N8x0 1280KB). Or do you mean some automatic conversion to 16 bits? Sounds like wasting of memory bus to me but maybe it can work.

Heh battle of the UQM ports.

If you could hack together something whereby we can fake SDL 320x240 or 400x240 @ 32bpp well... that would be pretty sweet.

The old packages probably worked fine with OS2008 too, I didn't actually even try it, but anyway I rebuilt the package with the new Maemo 4.0 SDK, might be a bit better for OS2008.

The new package can be downloaded from http://www2.lut.fi/~thietan1/uqm.html. And I also added it to maemo.org downloads.

OK, So I installed this from the one click install on this website (not maemo) and downloaded the content from the project site, put those files in /media/mmc2/uqm/content/packages/ and launched the application. I get the launcher, select the content folder by picking one of the uqm content packages (the uqm-0.6.0-content.uqm file just for the sake of detail) and then when I click LAUNCH I get a nice black screen and nothing. It stays at a black screen until I give up (about 8 minutes the last time I tried) and force it closed.

N800 - os2008
libvorbisidec1_1.2.0-1 and
python2.5_2.5.1osso5

any ideas?

BAH, never mind I think I figured it out, when I try and run it in xterm I see these errors:

Error: Zip file corrupt; could not find 'end-of-central-directory record'.
Warning: Could not mount 'uqm-0.6.0-content.uqm': Input/output error.


So I think the content I downloaded is corrupt. I will re-download and try again...

thanks,

This is so awesome, I loved this game when I was growing up!

Tip for N810 users: configure the center button on the D-pad as Thrust, if you find that the top edge of the D-pad is a little too hard to hold down while engaging those blasted Sylandro probes =)

i was hoping someone could help me get ur quan masters ported on the n800's new operating system called diablo. i can download the interface but the content refuses to let me use it; basically says it needs to be put into a specific file, but i can't seem to accomplish it. please help quicksilver524@gmail.com

You should choose the directory named "content" when looking for the directory from the frontend.

when i try to launch the game from the launch screen it has you locate the content package. it opens up my folders and i choose the data i've downloaded and it says this:
content must be placed in content/packages/(e.g. into/media/mmc2/uqm/content/packages/)
i dont know if i should place it somewhere else and i don't see where else i could put it. please give my inexperience for this a little more step by step instructions for some reason this is above me. still learning here please help.

i sent a few threads earlier, if anyone knows how to put ur-quan masters on the n800 os2008(diablo) please help. i can download uqm only but the content seems to not allow me to use it. this is my third thread if someone could guide me through this i would be truely greatful.
