Look no further

I think it's awesome that we're getting these games to work on such tiny systems. I know at least a few of you out there will have fun with this--please inform us how it works out :D

I guess I need to get a new handheld... mine can barely run Doom (well, that's an assumption, there doesn't seem to be Doom for handhelds, strangely enough).

I have an rx3115 :(

The PPCs don't have a FPU so it's not possible to run games at a decent framerate. They do FPU in software emulation which is very, very slow.

If you take the time to write a fixed-point 3D engine you can get some pretty beefy graphics out of these things. Doom shouldn't be a problem. Quake is.


This is also pretty old news for handheld aficionados out there.

Both Doom and Doom II were released for the Game Boy Advance.

...Quake 3 was just released for the ppc. Also, it runs at 25fps on the Dell Axim X50, not as bad as you think.

Sorry, I meant handheld computers... I have an older one, a Palm m505.

It says on their site they converted the entire codebase to fixed-point, so that's probably why it plays so well.

[QUOTE=Dj Yoshi]...Quake 3 was just released for the ppc.[/QUOTE]Hurr, no it wasn't. It was ported a matter of days after the Quake 3 source was released.

It did, however, recently get hardware acceleration.
