Pocket Wolf3D and SoD (no not the curse word ><) relea
Just for those who have a Windows Mobile device, a complete port has been finished:
http://pocketinsanity.sourceforge.net/c ... iew/25/38/
Of course, there's a shareware version and then a skeleton version. Shareware containing the engine and shareware data. Skeleton version needs a Wolf3D or Spear of Destiny data file (that you should purchase. Or if you have Return to Castle Wolfenstein GOTY or Platinum, Wolf3D comes with it as a bonus so you can use that)
It's less demanding than Quake of course, and runs very well when my Mobile CPU is set to powersave running at 208MHz. (Intel PXA270)

I'm not impressed
I can run Doom (the old classic shareware version) on my 103Mhz Symbian phone:

And these games also look quite nice:

Well, whats the resolution on your mobile phone? My PDA (well in fact almost all PDAs) run everything at QVGA (Quarter VGA; 320 x 240) or VGA and since performance relies on the CPU, you'd need more MHz to achieve better performance than a lower res.

Well I already have a laptop, but tablets offer half-arsed performance compared to laptops. PDAs are different enough than Tablets to give you reasonable performance since they're in a different category.

You've got a point, but still, it's a phone, so it's way cooler to play 3D-games onSome website wrote:176 x 208 pixel color display capable of displaying 4,096 colors

Without the ( ) , that is true in terms of mobility. Laptops these days are catching up with desktops. Tablets... well, they still might need to work something out. Tablets are far from ideal for doing any serious work like gaming, video editing, etc. unless it has a powerful CPU. All i've seen so far for Tablets is an under-performing Crusoe CPU.desktop(most powerful)>laptop(porable)>tablet(touch screen, good for photo editting)>pda(why bother)

Oh, you can do that with a PDA too.
I think there was a pen device for the PC a long long time ago (like in 94, 95) where you had a little pad and you had a stlyus and you could draw things.

Really? In the Netherlands it's quite ok; you can watch movies or chat through MSN on your mobile, if you pay the price, but I have a sucky provider so my connection is nonexistant half the time. If it does work my phone allows me to browse both WAP and HTML pages, pop or imap my mail and stream video thoughcurrahee wrote:Not to mention videos, Korean wireless service makes the wireless carriers in the U.S. look like a complete joke.

No, of course not ![Smile :)](./images/smilies/grayscale_smile.gif)
But currahee was right that a higher screen resolution/depth increases the required processing power.
So his PDA res/depth > my phone's res/depth
But Wolfenstein < Doom, in terms of complexity
And seeing that my phone has a third the Mhz of his PDA, I call that an achievement, while compared to a Ti calc:
his PDA res/depth >>>> Ti calc res/depth
and Wolfenstein == Wolfenstein,
so it's a "piece of cake" relatively speaking for a processor to render Wolfenstein on a Ti calc screen
Of course, we only have 6 Mhz on the other hand ![Razz :P](./images/smilies/grayscale_grin.gif)
So... What was I saying again..?

actually when playing PocketQuake and Simcity 2000, I overclock it to 520MHz
While they can watch Videos, the wireless carriers charge a crapload. I overhaerd a conversation from my dad once. His boss has a son constantly used his cell phone to watch videos (on his phone) and his phone bill came up with $200. And the thing is Samsung pays for their employee's cell phone bills too (not counted as pay, just a benefit. Rich bastards
).
While we may have excellent wireless services, those conglomortae b@$tards charge the hell outta everyone.
As for the z80 port, it's ok. Because I can carry my PDA around with me at school I can play the color port instead of the z80 port. Plus, TI Connect is bitching again.
Oh I also have the Xbox port from Wolfenstein Tides of War
but it's a streched 640x480 image on a 45" screen
so it looks rather ugly
