I am currently in the process of bringing MIDPath 0.3 into OE. So you
will soon have it in OM, too.

There are tons of good games in your average GNU/Linux distro. Just do a
little porting work and add them to OE. Someone fumbled with wesnoth

You're joking. :)

I added latest dosbox to OE lately and tested it on the Neo and the
N800. On the much more advanced N800 hardware Dune2 was barely playable
(4-5 frameskip, no sound). Ask again in 5 years. ;)

I do not know if this is true but I read somewhere that dosemu wins over
dosbox in performance any day. Does anyone knows if this is true?
Because, if it's that way then we should really ditch dosbox and focus
on dosemu for our nostalgia ;).

I myself was planning on (ab)using the usb host feature to connect a
real gamepad to the openmoko.
No more problems with lack of keys to use on the game :)

P.s.: Also, we have bluetooth, so ps3 remote and wiimote should also be usable.

Maybe someone could make a nice gamepad accessory that just snaps onto
the bottom of the phone? With regards to the wiimote, or any other
controller for that matter, I can't visualise someone holding the screen
(phone) in one hand, and the controller in the other.

Re: Gaming on Openmoko?

I've bought a Think Outside (also known as iGo?) bluetooth keyboard like
this: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16823203005R
They are a bit cheaper on ebay, but anyway, it will be a good way to
have an external controller (as well as a full keyboard for
programming!)

Also, I just finished heading up a project with several of my classmates
at www.libwiiact.org that interfaces with the wiimote (actually to
implement head tracking) and runs on linux...I'd be interested in
working on some games combining the wiimote and OM.

We don't have drivers for the 3D hardware, so I am afraid games like
that are a little out of the question... although I think that would
need something more powerful than what we have anyway wouldn't it?

Would be very happy to see somebody get 3D working though =)
It could be fun to see how app developers would exploit it, let alone
having 3D games... I was about to say someone should port some gameboy
emulator or something, since we do have 2D, but then the button thing
hit me =P

There  are some good java games for movile phone out there  than can be 
executed with jlimo. I was able to run some games in the dosbox in jlime so I 
supuse that a lot of oldies pc games can be runned in neo too.

About the key thing, despite we  loose part of the screen, I supose it can be 
relatively easy to implement an alternative keyboard as the included one but 
only with 8 directional keypad (this keypad willbe an 8 swiched one but can 
evolve to analogic) and two buttons A B as fire ,jump etc...

Re: Gaming on Openmoko?

2008-05-09 Thread matt . mets
The problem that I see with a virtual keypad (besides the lack of tactile 
feedback) is that the screen can only handle one button press at a time.  Most 
games require at least a d-pad and action button to be accessible at the same 
time in order to be playable.  Pacman doesn't though :-D.

Perhaps something workable can be thought up, though.  Personally, I thought it 
might be fun to use the bluetooth connection to talk to a Nintendo Wii 
controller, but those are as big as the Neo...
