 |
|
I have a Pocket PC, the Ipaq rx3715. Great thing. Runs on Windows Mobile 2003 SE. I also have an 1 GB SD card which means I have alot of space.
Is there any way to convert Sub Command or 688(i) to be runnable on Windows Mobile 2003? I have the space obviously from the SD card to fit the full install, but obviously it's coded differently. Anyway to make it PDA-compatible????
SC is primarily mouse driven and thus a stylus on a PDA would be easy to use to run SC. And obviously the 3D would have to be disabled as the PDA lacks a graphics card.
I don't think it's possible, but if it is. Sub Command on my PDA?!?! That could lead to ENDLESS possibilities. :sunny: |

Why would you want SC or 688 on PDA...
... When you can have DW on PDA  ?
Seriously... Would be a question for Jamie... |

| When you think about it, with each newer game the size becomes bigger. I have no idea but DW could end up being a more than 1 GB install. I'd be happy settling with SC or 688(I). |

First of all, is the cpu of that thing binary compatible with pc executables? If not, you'd need an emulator, and that will slow things down a lot. One source said it had a 400MHz cpu (think max 20% emulated), and the only reference I find on the cpu manufacturers site says something about 8-bit...
Also, RAM is a concern...
"152 MB user available memory (includes 96 MB of iPAQ File Store) – non-Asian language models"
Is that 152-96 Mb of ram available? And does the OS take its share of that? Against how much, that SC needs?
And you cannot disable 3d completely: Periscope.
Without 3d hardware, it would have to do it in software, which is especially slow, or it would have to simply not draw it at all. |

| I also used to play SC on a laptop, and using software rendering, the Ship Control station lags like an ass as well. |

That 96mb is always for the Filestore, I can put around 30 to 40mb as program memory only. I don't think it can run normal executables.
Damn, oh well. 688(i) on PDA would've been neat, maybe next generation of PDAs,  . |
