Installed, and it works! I cranked the graphics right up and it's not very playable. I need more time to experiment to see if I can get it right. Given how bad the D-pad is for gaming, I think I may leave ship combat on cyborg and let the game fight for me.
I can't believe nobody else has soiled themselves over this. Star Control 2 is the best game, of all time, ever. Nothing touches it. I remember waking up at 6am on weekends just to boot it through hyperspace and figure out what the hell it was the Ilwrath wanted me to do.

God this game looks like another game I use to play a very loonnnnggg time ago maybe 1985-1988...not sure, but I forgot what it was called. Looks very simular to this one, you explore different planets and gather resources, fight with aliens, or make friends. It came with a large map of space where you can track worm holes and all that stuff. I played it on the Tandy 1000TL. Never got to finish though cause I borrowed it from a friend...I wonder if this is that game....

I haven't launched from the menu so I can't confirm the sound quality is any worse. From the command line with sound quality at the default low it's fine. I turned graphic detail to low and tried it at 640x480 but it was kind of laggy. 320x200 reduces things to the size of a postage stamp, but it's fast... providing you don't care being able to tell which way your ship is facing in combat.
As a work in progress, Super Melee seems doable however when I try to visit a planet it crashes; when the UrQuan drone comes to warn me about approaching Earth, the UrQuan just sits there twitching - - no speech/text.
The RPG isn't playable at all, Super Melee should be providing you can configure it properly. Hats off to this ambitious attempt, best game of all time.

I'm the guy who did the porting/Maemo packaging, hi all.
Interesting, I had no problems with planet landing or the encounters -- and I played quite a lot farther than just Earth... will have to look into it. The problem is that my 770 is currently in repairs, so testing is a little difficult.

Now that was a cool game! Time to go see if I can legally download it for DosBoxer.

I've already played the PC version and beaten it (as well as the original SC2 back in the early 90's)... but... Star Control ][... on a 770? I'm grinning like stink right now.
