Inspired by wonderfull work of gdizzz, who bring us awesome Homeworld SDL port to N900, I started to search for other amazing games, that could run on our linux enviromnent via SDL.

The Witcher SDL project got my attention, especially, that I remember RED Engine being very customizable form the beginning (on native windoze, II was able to set it up for such exotic things as 840x525 resolution, and it worked flawlessly!).

It turned out to be right bet, and after messing with dozens of OpenGLES 1 oddities, I've come with sometihng to show. It's still very early stage of development - as expected, it runs OK on our native 800x480 resolution, but framerate is awful (yet), and sound doesn't work at all (say "hi" to our ancient pulseaudio version). There are, also, some minor things to fix, like pesky software cursor, appearing from time to time, but those are easy to fix.

I suspect huge performance gain (15-20%), when I manage to get rid of wrapping functions and run 100% native surface. Rest msut be achieved by turning off some expensive effects, that works solely on CPU in our case - like part of particle calculations, and some ambient lighting.

Preview video here:

Sorry for quality of those video, I had only old Fujifilm Finepix Z at hand, and my tripod is damaged, so it's recorder from hand - also, after coding for 46 hours straight, I spent only 15 minutes on making this video. And, some screenshots from N900:





And yes, mwhile engine is FOSS, you *will* have to own original game data files, in order to play this.

More to come.

Hey guys I modified the source code estel sent me. I got it running on my 3310 but as usual the framerate is awful. Could someone write a gpu driver for 3310 with hw acceleration?
